Were the World Mine
Tanner Cohen
From the movie Were the World Mine
Play it Capo 2 to play with the soundtrack, but I prefer it open.
I see their knavery, This is to make an ass of me,
To fright me...if they could
But I will not stir from this place do what they can,
I will work...up and down here
And I will sing that they shall hear,
That I am not, I am not afraid,
I am not...afraid
I know not by what power I m made bold, But still you flout my insufficiencies,
The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace
My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye, My tongue should catch your tongue, sweet melody,
My tongue your tongue, were the world mine,
And I will sing that they shall hear
That I am not, I am not afraid
I am not...afraid
Fairies away, Fetch me that flower,
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
Fairies away, Swift as a shadow,
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
O, why rebuke you him that loves you so?
Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe,
On your bitter foe
What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
Mine ear is much enamored of thy note,
So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape,
I ll follow thee,
I ll follow thee,
And make a heaven of hell
I ll follow thee
I ll follow thee
And make a heaven of hell
And make a heaven of hell
Fairies away, Fetch me that flower,
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
Fairies away, Swift as a shadow,
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
Fairies away, Fetch me that flower,
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and...
Fairies away, Swift as a shadow,
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
My ear should catch your voice, My eye should catch your eye,
My tongue your tongue, Were the world mine
