Crowded House

Songwriter: Neil Finn

[Verse 1]
Tell me all the things you would change
I don't pretend to know what you want
When you come around and spin my top
Time and again, time and again
No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark
Where your words devour my heart
And put me to shame, put me to shame

[Chorus]
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
And dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

[Verse 2]
You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no one to blame
It's easy to forget what you learned
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
You're drawn to the flame

[Chorus]
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

[Bridge]
And I'm lying on the table, washed out in the flood
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want, but I offer love

[Chorus]
Seven worlds will collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

[Outro]
As time slips by
And on and on
Let your mind
As time slips by
