Witness To Your Love Lyrics

Was we ever so young?
We were tripping into town
Like there were Canongate metered.
With dirty little side streets.

I can't remember much, though I
know we did like to shoplift.
We knew our life stretched up to the stars.
and we were the masters of the universe.

Were we ever really that smart?
How did we come this far?
We would go skippin over the heart,
of an old city that shaped us.

We would go leaping into the arms
of anything that scared us.
So long before we learned the law
Fearless and stupid and reckless, and

Free
we were free
So free
We were free

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I was a witness to your love.
Ahses to ashes and dust to dust
I was a witness to your love,
To your love.

Free,
We were free
So free,
We were free...

We were so free
Witness to your love
We were so free
Witness to your love,
we were so free
Witness to your love,
we were so free
we were so free.

Your on patrol for me.
I'm on patrol for you.
Your on patrol for me.
I'm on patrol for you.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
