Fiona Valentine - Sappho Lyrics

I've been coming of age
For so many years
It feels like
Saying "okay"
To so many things
It feels like
I've been in love
For two years
It is now

Sappho, hope I've made you proud
Made you proud by now
I've been trying for years
It's been a whole lot of tears
If I'm honest

I wish I could tell you some things
But, they hurt to say
Sometimes, it hurts
Just taking up space

Kiss me by the violets
Above the droplets of dew
You say, "well do you love me?"
My love, you know I do

Do do do, do do do do, do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do, do do do do, do do
Do do do do do do

Sappho, hope I've made you proud
Made you proud by now
Working hard and it's paid off
It's paid off by now

Funny how it happens
How it happens
How it does

Sweet mother, I cannot weave
Slender Aphrodite has overcome me
With longing for a girl
As you once said

Sappho, hope I've made you proud
Made you proud by now
