Borrowed Heaven lyrics
The CorrsAll beauty all fade away, borrowed
All moonlight, return today, borrowed
All sunrise all shooting stars, borrowed
All earth bound bare feet in clay,
You know we're standing on
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
All heartache, all rivers cried, borrowed
Don't stay out too late tonight, borrowed
I love you don't wanna die, borrowed
You taste like paradise, I know I'm breathing in
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
You gave me life and I will give it back
But before I do, I'm gonna hold it tight
This is my prayer
Oh oh-oh-oh...
[Instrumental]
All body, all skin, all bone, borrowed
All silky, all smooth and warm, borrowed
All pleasure, all pain are one, borrowed
Almighty I stand alone, I know I'm living in
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
