Lyrics for Teardrop (Massive Attack cover) as interpreted by stentorian

Teardrop (Massive Attack cover) Lyrics
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath

Night, nights of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath

You're stumbling into all
You're stumbling into all.

Ok... correction from the official booklet of In our nature - José González:

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath

Night, nights of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath

You're stumbling into all
You're stumbling into all

Jose did a beautiful awe-inspiring cover of Massive Attack's song, Teardrop. I absolutely love playing his songs on my acoustic with nylon strings.. But this is one of my favourites to play, along with The Nest, How Low.. well, pretty much every song to be honest. He's great.

Elizabeth Fraser (singer of the Cocteau Twins, who sang on Massive Attack's Teardrop,) sings "fearless" and not "feathers." And also at the end, she sings "Stumbling a little". I do like the quirks when people cover songs and change the words, for example another cover of this song (Newton's cover) he ends with "You're stumbling in the dark, Stumbling in the dark."

So for others' interpretations on the meanings of this song, check out the Massive Attack one: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/44600/

And of course the other covers for even more opinions. Watch the original music video, that will give you great insight.. a fetus in the womb, singing. That's far out.
