Dido Sitting on the Roof of the World Lyrics

A little, sweet, simple song from the new album 'girl who got away'.
dd9
I climbed a mountain, not knowing that I had
thought it was just a road from a to b
I took no protection, not much of anything
just went as I was
Looking in windows and playing songs
and knocking on doors
I was not scared, I just enjoyed the sights
kept myself to myself
There I was
sitting on the roof of the world
There I was, there I was
not knowing how I got there or how to leave
dd9
Everyone says I was lucky to have got there
as not many can
But truth be told I was saved
by the love of a good man
Who came and got me and bought me down
from on up there
I'd be lying if I didn't say I missed it now and then
but I have no wish to go back there
There I was
sitting on the roof of the world
There I was, with all the gods
not knowing how I got there or how to leave
People say "what's so special about being back here
with everyone so close"
But that's the point, I don't want to be different
I just want to fit in
There I was, there I was
sitting on the roof of the world
There I was, with all the gods
not knowing how I got there or how to leave
