Were The World Mine by Tanner Cohen Lyrics
TIMOTHY:
I see their knavery
This is to make an ass of me
To fright me...if they could
But I will not stir
From this place do what they can
I will work...up and down here
And I will sing that they shall hear
That I am not
I am not afraid
I am not...afraid
I know not by what power I'm made bold
But still you flout my insufficiency
The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace
My ear should catch your voice
My eye your eye
My tongue should catch your tongue's
Sweet melody
My tongue your tongue
Were the world mine
And I will sing that they shall hear
That I am not
I am not afraid
I am not...afraid
Fairies away
Fetch me that flower
FAIRIES:
Up and down and up and down
TIMOTHY:
I will lead them up and down
Fairies away
Swift as a shadow
FAIRIES:
Up and down and up and down
TIMOTHY:
I will lead them up and down
O, why rebuke you him that loves you so?
Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe
On your bitter foe
JONATHON:
What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
Mine ear is much enamored of thy note
So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape
I'll follow thee
I'll follow thee
And make a heaven of hell
I'll follow thee
I'll follow thee
And make a heaven of hell
JONATHON and TIMOTHY:
And make a heaven of hell
TIMOTHY and FARIES:
Fairies away
Fetch me that flower
Up and down and up and down
I will lead them up and down
Fairies away
Swift as a shadow
Up and down and up and down
I will lead them up and down
Fairies away
Fetch me that flower
Up and down and up and down
I will lead them up and...
Fairies away
Swift as a shadow
Up and down and up and down
I will lead them up and down
TIMOTHY and JONATHON:
My ear should catch your voice
My eye should catch your eye
My tongue your tongue
Were the world mine
I see their knavery
This is to make an ass of me
To fright me...if they could
But I will not stir
From this place do what they can
I will work...up and down here
And I will sing that they shall hear
That I am not
I am not afraid
I am not...afraid
I know not by what power I'm made bold
But still you flout my insufficiency
The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace
My ear should catch your voice
My eye your eye
My tongue should catch your tongue's
Sweet melody
My tongue your tongue
Were the world mine
And I will sing that they shall hear
That I am not
I am not afraid
I am not...afraid
Fairies away
Fetch me that flower
FAIRIES:
Up and down and up and down
TIMOTHY:
I will lead them up and down
Fairies away
Swift as a shadow
FAIRIES:
Up and down and up and down
TIMOTHY:
I will lead them up and down
O, why rebuke you him that loves you so?
Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe
On your bitter foe
JONATHON:
What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
Mine ear is much enamored of thy note
So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape
I'll follow thee
I'll follow thee
And make a heaven of hell
I'll follow thee
I'll follow thee
And make a heaven of hell
JONATHON and TIMOTHY:

My eye should catch your eye
My tongue your tongue
