"7 Hills" lyrics

"7 Hills"
(feat. Róisín Murphy)

I did seven sins in these seven hills
You warned they would follow me
And if I meet the maker of my tears
I might do another three

I sinned and I wished my days away
For I washed in every river just to never feel clean again

Oh, I don't know what I'll find after all these years
I can guess just what you make of me and all this make believe

Can you forgive me?
Let your child return
How could you let your baby burn?

I did seven sins in these seven hills
You warned they would follow me
And if I meet the maker of my tears
I might do another three

Did I run or was I sent away?
Oh, I still don't know was the difference anyway
And now I find myself in deep despair
And I wish sometimes I was breathing different air

Won't you redeem me?
Well, don't let your baby burn

Though I lived so many lives
Seems like I was still a child
All you do is love and burn
You might never get the right to return
How could you let your baby burn?

I did seven sins in these seven hills
You warned they would follow me
And if I meet the maker of my tears
I might do another three

Just seven sins, one an every hill
I was born with something bad in me
Now I lost count
Of all these tears
I'm ready to be redeemed
I'm ready to be redeemed
I'm ready to be redeemed
I'm ready to be redeemed
I'm ready to be redeemed
I'm ready to be redeemed
I'm ready to be redeemed
