7 Hills (feat. Tony Christie)

Roisin Murphy


I did 7 sins in these 7 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 7 sins in these 7 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 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

I did 7 sins in these 7 hills
You warned they would follow me
And if I meet the maker of my tears
I might do another three

Just 7 sins on every hill
I was born with something bad in me
Now I lost count
Of all these tears
I’m ready to be redeemed...
