Ayla Lyrics by The Maccabees

Given to the Wild

2012

[Verse 1]
Aimless am I
Listless, I'm the blunt of the knife
Drifting to the corners of life
Ayla
I could make something right
Gentle with the kindness I'd like
So often it's a trick of the light
Ayla
[Chorus]
And we'll wait for love
In the shape of us
Till the wait is over under halcyon skies
Till the wait is over for an innocent life
[Verse 2]
It's a weight off my mind
I could trust you, you could tell me it's fine
I could sew you a stitch and save nine
Ayla
None more admired
And out of soft-focused desire
From honeyed milk to funeral pyre
Ayla
[Chorus]
And we'll wait for love
In the shape of us
But the state of us
Daedalus
The wait is over under halcyon skies
The wait is over for an innocent life
[Outro]
Till the wait is over under halcyon skies
Till the wait is over for an innocent life
Till the wait is over, the wait is over
The wait is over
