Not Enough Songtext
von Caedmon’s Call

I′m mounted with wax and wings
High to reach the sun
And I am no further there
Than when I first begun
So I build a mount of apples
To shame your form against the sky
My home in your hands
Show all the people why
Show all the people why

Everything I do
Is not enough for you
Everything I do
Is not enough
Is not enough for you


In the garden of my pride
A lemon-tree lime tree
Too stupid to cry for rain
Fruitless and choked up by weeds
So I write a book of life
Using the best words I can find
For some struggler to snuggle up
When the world becomes unkind
And when the world becomes unkind

Everything I do
Is not enough for you
Everything I do
Is not enough
Is not enough for you

I find directions from clouds
Long for what they have
But when I step into its mist
A substance I cannot grasp
So I paint a portrait of you
As if you had human disguise
With oil and canvas to be clay
To open up their eyes
Like you opened up my eyes


Everything I do
Is not enough for you
Everything I do
Is not enough
Is not enough for you
Everything I do
Is not enough for you
Everything I do
Is not enough
Is not enough for you
