Johnny Flynn - Gods and Monsters lyrics
Artist: Johnny Flynn
album: Lost in the Cedar Wood
I thought I'd have to do battle
With gods and monsters
I thought I had to seek prophets
On distant horizons
Questions I never have answers for
Questions that never have answers
See the lights on the other side
And I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
♪
I thought the story had endings
But the path proved hard to find
I thought that love had a summit
With a view of all humankind
But the rocks of love come tumbling over me
Questions that never have answers
See the lights on the other side
I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
♪
Journeying far from your orbit
Sent past the end of the earth
Just to feel the place that has called me summoned me
Is right there in your arms, the birth, the death
Heaven and hell have a fury unleashed
Questions that never have answers
See the lights on the other side
I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
♪
The story without end
I heard at the end of all time, the beginning
Closing my eyes with our children in mind
The beginning of love is sublime
And the story without ending
I can see all the way to the distant shore
Oh the story without ending is I love you
I love you
I love you
See the lights on the other side
As I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
With gods and monsters
I thought I had to seek prophets
On distant horizons
Questions I never have answers for
Questions that never have answers
See the lights on the other side
And I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
♪
I thought the story had endings
But the path proved hard to find
I thought that love had a summit
With a view of all humankind
But the rocks of love come tumbling over me
Questions that never have answers
See the lights on the other side
I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
♪
Journeying far from your orbit
Sent past the end of the earth
Just to feel the place that has called me summoned me
Is right there in your arms, the birth, the death
Heaven and hell have a fury unleashed
Questions that never have answers
See the lights on the other side
I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide

I heard at the end of all time, the beginning
Closing my eyes with our children in mind
The beginning of love is sublime
And the story without ending

Oh the story without ending is I love you
I love you
I love you
See the lights on the other side
As I'm burning up
Oh and the river flows fast and wide
As I cross over
