You Came to Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Invite your sister
Into the garden
All cannot play

Fistful of wildflowers
Handpicked by someone
Who nearly fell

(Ahhh, Ahhh)

[Verse 2]
Friend, foe, or feather
If we row to get there
I'll give my gift to you
In all kinds of weather

If not now, not ever
Please do not go

[Verse 3]
Hands over your eyes
In all of your sighs
Is it the right time
For the game we play?

In all kinds of weather
If not now, not ever
This is the right time
For a holiday
(La, la, la, la)

[Verse 4]
You came to me
In my dreams
And you spoke of everything
Of sweet remedies and diamond rings

Holy worlds dig early beds
(La, la, la, la)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“The drumbeat to ‘You Came to Me’ came from a box that we found in Montreal that went on to be the beats for tons of songs later on—[2010’s] ‘Zebra,’ and ‘Norway.’ That was the album where we started to find more gear to keep the thing going. We’d used every sound we had.”
