All This And Heaven Too Lyrics - Ceremonials - Florence And The Machine

And the heart is hard to translate 

It has a language of its own 

It talks in tongues and quiet sighs 

And prayers and proclamations 

In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures 

In short, shallow gasps 

But with all my education I can't seem to command it 

And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged 

And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how 

I can't seem to understand it 

And I would give all this and heaven too 

I would give it all if only for a moment 

That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see 

'Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all

And it talks to me on tiptoes 

And it sings to me inside 

It cries out in the darkest night 

And breaks in the morning light 

But with all my education I can't seem to command it 

And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged 

And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how 

I can't seem to understand it 

And I would give all this and heaven too 

I would give it all if only for a moment 

That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see 

'Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all 

Oooooooooooh 

And I would give all this and heaven too 

I would give it all if only for a moment 

That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see 

'Cause I've been scrawling it forever, but it never makes sense to me at all 

No words and poor language 

It doesn't deserve such treatment 

And all of my stumbling phrases never amounted 

To anything worth this feeling 

All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I'm healing 

Words were never so useful 

So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before.
