Lyrics
LEAVING GROUND ZERO
Words : Oputa / Music : Harrison
Do you know you have magic, a magic about you,
A dark sort of magic.
'Cos when I'm with you, when I breathe you,
I inexplicably start to fall.
It's just as if you're trying to get me to fall in love with you,
It's just as if you're trying to get me to come away with you.
CHORUS x 2
And I'm Leaving Ground Zero,
And I'm Leaving Ground Zero,
I'm caught up in the clouds again with you.
And I'm Leaving Ground Zero
And I'm Leaving Ground Zero,
I'm caught up in the clouds again with you.
You know how many times I've run,
How many times `I've run round Saturn's rings to please you,
You know how much I'd move,
How much I'd move the earth just to make you smile.
You don't know but I'm trying to get you to fall in love with me,
It's just as if I'm trying to get you to reach the stars with me.
CHORUS
You're the sun and I'm the moon,
I fade at your gaze,
I'm just a shadow of myself,
Whenever you're near,
I'm caught in the web that you weave,
And I can't pull through,
I stutter and I stumble like a fool,
And I'm hopelessly drawn to you.
CHORUS
