Vanessa Carlton lyrics - More Than This

album: Heroes & Thieves (2007)
genre:

Cradling stones hold fire bright as crickets call out to the moonlight 
And as you lean in to steal a kiss I'll never need more than this 

We all share the pain of our histories but the ache goes away 
If you could see 
This night under the stars
Well I call it peace if you say, "I'll never need more than this"

The trees grow so thick you can barely see through 
The forest bestows the simplest of truths 
You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish 
But the truth is you'll never need more
You'll never need more 
You'll never need more than this 

Want so much in life
There's so much to be 
We sail through our youth so impatiently 
Until we see that years move along 
And soldiers and heroes come home 
And they carry a song

Don't live in forgotten times 
May this always remind you of the sea under the sky's blue looking glass

Let's make this our story
Let's live in the glory 
Time
It fades away
Precious as a song 'cause someday we'll be gone 

Cradling stones hold fire bright as we watch the glow of the morning light 
Someday our bones 
Here they will lie and so we sing as the years move along 
And soldiers and heroes come home 
And they carry a song 

Let's make this our story
Let's live in the glory 
Time
It fades away
Precious as a song 'cause someday we'll be gone
