If I ever feel the light again
Shining down on me
I don't have to tell you
How welcome it would be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
An' I just keep on believing
That it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight
It's not the candlelight
It's not the streetlight
In some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
Sometimes I try to tell myself
The light was never real
Just a fantasy that used to be
The way I used to feel
But you and I know better
Even though it's been so long
Now if your memory really serves you well
You'll never tell me no wrong
It's not the spotlight
It's not the candlelight
It's not the streetlight
In some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
So if I ever feel the light again
Shining down on me
I won't have tell you
How welcome it would be
I felt the light before
But I let it slip away
I just live for believing
That it'll come back someday
It's not the spotlight
It's not the candlelight
It's not the streetlight
In some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
Baby do you know what you did today?
Baby do you know what you took away?
You took the blue out of the sky
My whole life changed when you said goodbye
And I keep cryin'...cryin'
Oooh baby, oooh baby I wish I never saw the sunshine
I wish I never saw the sunshine
And if I never saw the sunshine baby
Then maybe...I wouldn't mind the rain
Every day is just like the day before
All alone, a million miles from shore
All of my dreams, I dream with you
Now they will die and never come true
And I keep cryin'...cryin'
Oooh baby, oooh baby I wish I never saw the sunshine
I wish I never saw the sunshine
And if I never saw the sunshine baby
Then maybe...I wouldn't mind the rain
This pain...
And I know there would not be
This cloud that's over me...everywhere I go
Oooh baby, oooh baby I wish I never saw the sunshine
I wish I never saw the sunshine
And if I never saw the sunshine baby
Then maybe...I wouldn't mind the rain
This pain...I wouldn't mind the rain
There wouldn't be this pain
I wouldn't mind the rain
If we should meet again on some darkened street
Pack in it all and heed to a call
Beat a drum to decide on a sketch for design
Can you see to the light, bare winter night
Wipe out the sun form your eyes, that vicious sky
Wipe out the sun form your eyes, that vicious sky
Sees the way you are, fell the way you move
So deep, so cool, the sum of it all
So deep, so sweet, see you again, see you again
Once you fell something real let me know, let it show
I could be your honey and let it go, there it goes
And if you should need me through someone else's eyes
And if into me you see more than disguise
I come down to your knees and if ears could speak
Well I like to think what they'd say to inspire
Your sweetest desire, since I first met you
I found the love I lost, it's just like you, just like you
You move, so sweet, so cool, the sum of it all
So sweet, so deep, see you again, see you again
If we should meet again in some darkened room
I hope to my soul that it could be soon
Beat a path to my side, a sketch for design
Can you see to the light, bare winter night
And wipe out the sun form your eye, that vicious sky
Wipe out the sun form your eyes, some sleep to lie
See the way you are, feel the way you move
So deep, so cool you burn through it all
It's the shape of your hand, the tone I understand
And since I first met you I found the love I lost
It's just like you, just like you
See you again, see you again, again
Lost myself in a tangent of words
Can't decide what I've seen or heard
Can't sleep for counting sheep
How long...does this river..run deep?
How long...does this river..run deep?
Building 'em up in order to find
What's not lost but left behind
My instinct got bruised, but I still see
I was a victim of being no casualty
Just like coming home...just like coming home
Just like coming home...felt just like coming home
They say that you weave deadly tricks
Cantrip to the worldly hicks
Stare cold with dull surprise
Spark evil to hell in every tear you cry...every tear you cry
Building 'em up in order to find
What's not lost but left behind
My instinct got bruised, but I still see
I was a victim of being no casualty
Just like coming home...just like coming home
Just like coming home...felt just like coming home
Cut off my toes to spite my feet
Drank your poison, didn't taste too sweet
Saw the heavens in my mind
And it's there...for me...to find.
Oh it's there...for me...to find
Building 'em up in order to find
What's not lost but left behind
My instinct got bruised, but I still see
I was a victim of being no casualty
Just like coming home...just like coming home
Just like coming home...felt just like coming home
Lost myself in a tangent
Lost myself in a tangent
Lost myself in a tangent
She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share
She's deep as a well
She's deep as a well
Another day wastes away
And my heart sinks with the sun
A new day's dawning
And a new day has not yet begun
So, anyway, there I was
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in your sweetest decline
Your sweetest decline
What's the use in regrets
They're just things we haven't done yet
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet
Another day draws away
And my heart sinks with the sun
It's like catching snow on my tongue
It's like catching snow on my tongue
So, anyway, there I was
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in your sweetest decline
The sweetest decline
What are regrets?
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet
It's like catching snow on your tongue
You can't pin this butterfly down
I'm sitting so high on this pedestal,
No need to tell how I might feel if I fall,
And you don't know how hard it is to cry,
Ever since you have said goodbye,
You can't feel this sad and not a little strong,
You can't feel this sad and not a little wrong,
How you gonna know all the answers,
When you don't know all the questions yet,
And there's a look in your eyes,
Of which we never speak,
Will it make you strong,
Am I gonna feel so weak?
Well I'm not the same as you,
And I don't want the things you do,
And all that preaching never let anyone know,
You cannot reap what you cannot sow,
You cannot reap what you cannot sow,
And they never had the patience to let it be,
Sometimes I've waited years for what I cannot see,
It must be them not the whole world that lies,
To neither do I wanna have to say goodbye,
You can't feel this sad and not a little strong,
You can't feel this sad and not a little wrong,
How am I gonna know all the answers,
When I don't know how to question it,
And I don't know all the questions yet,
And there's a look in your eye,
Of which we never speak,
Will it make me too strong,
Are you gonna feel so weak?
Well I'm not the same as you,
And I don't have the things you do,
And all this preaching never let anyone know,
You cannot reap what you cannot sow,
Summer's burning (up inside)
Left alone (to gag then tie)
Here comes the rain
Just when you never thought you'd lose your way again
When it's so wrong
It has to be, nobody has won
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history
Yea...
You've been lost and you've been found
This time you've gotta stand your ground
Here comes your train
Just when you never thought you'd catch that ride again
When it's so wrong
It has to be, everybody's gone
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history
We will soon be free
The prisoner is history
Yea...
I'm sitting so high on this pedestal,
No need to tell how I might feel if I fall,
And you don't know how hard it is to cry,

You can't feel this sad and not a little wrong,

Love glanced at me with your eyes
Love gifted me with your smile
Love led me into your heart
That's what love can do
Love led me when I was right
And sheltered me when I was wrong
Love made you part of my life
That's what love can do
Soon all these lights will go dim
Who knows how far we must travel
While we're making our way back to him
Before our dreams can unravel
Love glanced at me with your eyes
Love lifted me with your smile
Made you the light of my life
That's what love can do
Love can do ...
I'm that great divide
That never was at all
That's neither large nor heavy
That's neither light or small
There always was and will be
Forever and through all time
Cause here and there and nowhere always is
It's this I am I find
It's this I am I find
It's this I am I find
When all is one another
Yes one is all mine
Serenely flowing ever
Beyond the tide
The flower blows away
Cause I am but one too
Unless I pray and break up
Really, not at all
A dream smiles at me
I've been here all the time
I've been here all the time
It's this I am I find
I love, how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you, I love, how you miss me
I love the way, you always treat me tenderly
But darlin' most of all I love, how you love me
I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darlin' most of all I love, how you love me
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you, I love, how you miss me
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darlin' most of all I love, how you love me
I love, how you hug me
I love, how you squeeze me, tease me, please me
Love, how you love me
I love, how you love me
Love, how you love me
Love, how you love me
Love, how you love me
Love, how you love me
I love, how you love me
Love, how you love me
Love, how you love me
Something's buzzing round your brain and it won't let go,
Could be saying all you need to know,
It could control who you are 'til you become a passenger,
When all is said and done,
Where credits due the blame was true,
It isn't all up to you.
There's too many people take more than they can use,
Still too many people taking more than they can use,
They'd rather drown you in self pity,
Than find the will to live,
When there's no consequence there's no easy route,
Find your bullet and aim and shoot,
When there's no compromise no easy route,
Find your bullet and aim and shoot,
You've got to aim and shoot.
Time is rushing through your veins,
And it won't let go,
Time can tell you all you need to know,
It doesn't matter who I am if I'm not part of its greater plan.
When all is said and done,
Where credits due the blame it isn't all down to you.
There's too many people take more than they can use,
Still too many people taking more than they can use,
They'd rather drown you in self pity,
Than find the will to live,
When there's no compromise there's no easy route,
Find your bullet and aim and shoot,
When there's no compromise no easy route,
Find your bullet and aim and shoot,
You've got to aim and shoot.
Too many people taking more than they can give,
Still too many people taking more than they can give,
There's too many people taking more than they could give
Still too many people taking more than they can give,
Time can tell you all you need to know,
Time can tell you all you need to know,
Time can tell you all you need to know,
Time can tell you all you need to know,
Too many people taking more than they can give,
Oh there's too many people taking more than they can give
I'd rather drown you in self pity,
Than find the will to live,
When there's no consequence no easy route,
Find your bullet and aim and shoot,
Find your lovin' and aim and shoot,
From my soul I found some pride,
I only found this after she died,
From a moment I acquired such grace,
Everybody seemed to want to take her place.
The best things in life were dreams,
The best things in life it seems,
The best part to breaking up,
Is when you're waking up to me,
Reality never lives up to all as it used to be,
Never seemed quite what it used to mean,
All that it used to mean,
All that it used to mean,
All that it used to mean,
All that it used to seem.
Wasn't sure it was never quite clear,
What the hell was happening all around here,
Never seemed to make much sense,
All that fuss for just the little of common sense.
The best things in life were dreams,
The best things in life it seems,
The best part to breaking up,

Reality never lived up to quite as it used to seem,
Never seemed all that it used to mean,
Never seemed quite as it used to seem,
All that it used to mean,
All that it used to mean,
All that it used to seem,
All that it used to seem.
All that it used to mean,
All that it used to mean.
Sugar boy, it's all over now
Sugar boy, it's all over now
Angel loving but the things you do
Listen boy I'm getting tired of you
Sugar boy, whatcha tryin' to do
Well I told you I loved you now what more can I do
Told you I loved you, you beat my heart black and blue
I told you I loved you now what more can I do
Do you want me to lay down and die for you
D'you want me to lay down and die...
Sugar boy, it's all over now
Sugar boy, it's all over now
Went to the doctor, told me something was wrong
Listen girl you shouldn't feel so alone
Sugar boy, whatcha tryin' to do
Well I told you I loved you now what more can I do
Told you I loved you, you beat my heart black and blue
I told you I loved you now what more can I do
Do you want me to lay down and die for you
D'you want me to lay down and die...
Lay down and die...
Lay down and die...
Well I'm not gonna lay down and die...
No I'm not gonna lay down and die for you
Oh no I won't lay down and die
I'm never gonna lay down and die for you
No I won't lay down and die
I'm never gonna lay down and die for you
Oh no I won't lay down and die
I'm never gonna lay down and die for you
Oh no I won't lay down and die
Baby do you know what you did today,
Baby do you know what you took away,
You took the blue out of the sky,
My whole life changed when you said goodbye,
An' I keep crying, crying.
Ooooh baby,
Ooooh baby,
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
An' if I never saw the sunshine bay,
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain.
Every day is just like the day before,
All alone a million miles from shore,
All of my dreams I dreamed with you,
Now they will die and never come true,
An' I keep crying, crying.
Ooooh baby,
Ooooh baby,
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
An' if I never saw the sunshine bay,
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain.
Ooooh this pain,
And I know there would not be,
This cloud that's over me,
Everywhere I go.
Ooooh baby,
Ooooh baby,
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
I wish I never saw the sunshine,
An' if I never saw the sunshine bay,
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain.
Ooooh this pain,
I wouldn't mind the rain,
There wouldn't be this pain,
I wouldn't mind the rain,
I wouldn't mind the rain
I heard you say and rightly so
"We turn our backs on we most need to know"
Give in too fast then give in to no one
And once they've got you where they want you
They don't wanna know...
I could leave or I could stay
It doesn't make a bit of difference anymore, anyway
With each and every circumstance
I lose knowledge and an innocence
Won't find me grieving
There's no regretting leaving
When I have to come here
Like I know I have to come here
I can see I have to come here
For my view to be clear
For my view to be clear
It's easy to forget howfar we've come
How near I feel to where we first begun
Pushed it too far
I won't pull it too slow
Cause where the story ends depends on howfar we go
I could leave or I could stay
It doesn't make a bit of difference anymore, anyway
With each and every circumstance
I lose knowledge and an innocence
Won't find me grieving
There's no regretting leaving
When I had to come here
Like I know I had to come here
Oh I know I had to come here
For my view to be clear
And now I see I had to be here
Oh I know I had to be here
I can see I had to be here
For my view is now clear
So roll on blue skies
Roll on gray, just roll away
Roll on blue skies
Roll on gray, just roll away
Come on blue skies, come on gray
Just roll away
Just roll away
Have you ever seen a sign that
Upon a time...there were...angels
You won't lose track 'cause
Upon their backs feel the weight of wings...
Why'd they fall, it's hard to tell
But some things you can buy yourself
Yeah we only hurt the ones we love
While...we don't need a reason
Only care for the thing we deserve
And that's something to believe in
I think I've seen a sign but it's a very fine line
If you...want it all
And don't lose track
Upon my back there's no weight of wings
When they shine, it's hard to say
But something's never fade away
And we only hurt the ones we love
While...we don't need a reason
Only care for the thing we deserve
Well that's something to believe in
So I've been calling angels down to earth
And I don't need a reason
Calling angels down to earth
Cause I believe we need them...
Yeah we only hurt the ones we love
While...we don't need a reason
You're gonna get all that you deserve
And all that you believe in
That you believe in
Do you need them?
If you need them
Do you know?...
Do you need them?
If you need them...who believes them...do ya know??...do ya know...
Falling from the western selves
To find yourself alone again
Wonderin' where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Scratch beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is there truth to be seen?
She's cryin' out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is revealed??
There's a wasteland in his soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out beside the hill
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
She said I put a spell on you
He said there's nothin' I could do
And I wouldn't love the way I do if I didn't know that it was true
And I'd never love the way I do since I began losing you
And nothing can compare to when you roll the dice and you swear your loves for me
And she don't know if she can keep it together forever
She said I only want to possess you, it's dangerous
He said I only try to impress you, it's strangeness
And I wouldn't love the way I do if I didn't know that it was true
And I'd never love the way I do since I began losing you
Nothing can compare to when you roll the dice and you swear your loves for me
And she don't know if she can keep it together forever
And nothing can compare to when you roll the dice and you swear your loves for me
And she don't know if she can keep it together forever
You touched my hand, said, "Follow me
I'll be your eyes when you cannot see"
Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse
There was a time when you held all the cards
And you dealt them all evenly 'cause I couldn't see
You read my mind, left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
(You touched my hand)
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
(I'll be your eyes)
When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry
I could try talkin' to you but I already learned all I need to
Spend your time cutting me down
Don't listen to a word then you throw me a frown
To catch the eye of a stranger is nothing new
I was just waitin' for something to do
It was a twisted pair but now I'm through
Spend your time cutting me down
(You touched my hand)
When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry
(Said it's faith that will carry)
Spend your time cutting me down
(I'll be your eyes)
When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry

Said, "Follow me, I'll be your eyes"
It was the sound of the city that was making me blue
I kept hearing it and I'd think of you
Wherever you go and whatever you do I'll be with you
I'll be with you
It was the sound of the city that was making me blue
I kept hearing it and I'd think of you
Wherever you go and whatever you do I'll be with you
I'll be with you
Watching the sun coming up Mount Washington
Forever testing your intention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And what you sing you never can say
It ain't because there's any question
Do it to before it's done onto you
Now it ain't because there's any question
Your love's out of frame
Nobody can keep you from the one you know you are
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time that you don't walk through
Be a star, be an altar, and I will hang it on you
Watching the sun coming up over St Jude Street
Forever testing your invention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And once awake you never sleep on
It ain't because there's any question
Do unto as you'd have done by
No it ain't because you ever question
Your love's out of view
And nobody can keep you from the ones you know you love
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time when you don't walk through
Be a star, be an altar and I will hang it on you
You are, you are alone into the unknown
You are, you are alone into the unknown
May there never be a time that I don't love you
May there never be a time that you don't pull through
Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you
My house was built for lovin', not a theater of war
I take the poison for the cure
But he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
Yeah, he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
And I'm prayin' for the strength not to carry on
Well, I've watched and learnt to lead a decent life
But meanwhile I'm dyin' inside
'Cos he's my man and I keep doin' him wrong
Yeah, he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
But I'm prayin' for the strength not to carry on
I was built for lovin', not playin' at war
And I leave justice in the good hands of the law
But he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
Yeah, he's my man and I've done him wrong
We lay on our backs in the grass
Silently watching the rain clouds move by far too fast
You said it was a night where anything could happen
But nothing was gonna last
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
All that is fine
We, we burn our boats each new year
Silently watching the flames and the old life disappear
We're burning new sunrise into yesterday's skies
An ashen fingerprint melts into the sea
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
There's nothing very funny about a man making money
Off a blond haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home who he loves to leave alone
For his blond haired blue eyed girl
Well, Carmell, where you gonna run to
If the sky comes crashing in on you?
Slow down, who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove?
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
It's true what they say about you
It's true what they say about you
It's true, you know it too
There's nothing very funny about a man making money
Off a blond haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home who he loves to leave alone
For his blond haired blue eyed girl
Carmell, where you gonna run to
If the sky comes crashing in on you?
Slow down, who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove?
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
And I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
It's true what they say about you
It's true what they say about you
It's true, you know it too
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
I can't control myself
I wouldn't want to be anyone else
It's true what they say about you
It's true what they say about you
It's true, you know it too
Paint what you know not what you see
Hope blinds reason thankfully
Know how it is when something fits
There's just the question of being it
I'd do anything to see you smile again
And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
I wanna live where the fear is all gone
Wanna protect and know what it's from
I wasn't made of secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories
Nothing is done without effect
There is nothing done that won't reflect
Pull one brick from an endless wall
Would it drown us all
'Cause I'd do anything to see you smile again
And I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
'Cause I wanna live where the fear is all gone
Wanna protect and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories
You just need love like you say you do
There need never be a time when it won't get through
Yeah, you know how it is when something fits
Now there's just a question of being it
And I'd do anything to see you smile again
But I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
'Cause I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispers, memories
Hey, hey, hey
It's another cold London night
I wrap this head around my shoulders tight
Please excuse me, seems there's someone at my door
I wouldn't leave but the need is so much more
So more, much more
It's another cold London day
And I'm always walking down the escalator the up way
Please excuse me I can't seem to get inside
I only wanted to know if you're alive
You're alive, you're alive, you're alive
I've got the feelings in me
There's a feeling in me
But I don't know what it is
Don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
Long journey into light
It always seems the furtherest
When the end's in sight
Please excuse me I just need to be outside
Only looking for air to breathe, air to breathe
I feel alive
(I feel so alive, it's cold tonight)
(Don't know how to live)
I don't know how to live
I feel so alive, I feel so alive
Don't know how to live, live
Don't know how to live
Sometimes I get to thinkin', baby
When I'm all alone
I could maybe make it on my own
The more, oh, you set me free
The more attractive you seem to be
And my baby
My precious baby
You're my maybe
My only maybe
Sometimes I get to thinkin'
When we're on the telephone
Are you really on your own?
So more that you set me free
The more deceptive it gets to be
And my baby
My only maybe
You're my baby
My precious maybe
Sometimes I get a feelin' in every part of me
Nothin' is what it seems to be
The more, oh, you set me free
The more addicted I get to be
You're my baby
My only maybe
You're my baby
My precious maybe
Ooh, my baby
Ooh, my baby
So much stays unknown 'til the time has come,
Did you ever imagine you could feel so strong,
And what you fear just turn into relief,
Yes see your doubt become your own belief,
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The tears will help to keep your need at bay,
So come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
My mother told me just before she died,
My mother told me just before she died,
Oh darling darling don't be like me,
You will fall in love with the very first man that you meet,
But mother mother some will never know, The love that you
have installed in my soul, So come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while, Come on now come on now child, Your
here just a while, Your here just a while, Your here just a
while, Some much stays unknown 'til the time you are strong,
Did you ever imagine you could be so strong, And watch
your doubt just turn into belief, You see you pain become
its own relief, Though tears don't come to cry some grief
away, The years will help to keep your need at bay, So come
on now come on now child, Your here just a while, Come on
now come on now child, Your here just a while, Come on now
come on now child, Your here just a while, Come on now come
on now child, Your here just a while, Your here just a
while, Your here just a while, And you might as well smile,
You might as well smile, 'Cos tomorrow you just don't know,
It will pass, It's gonna pass, It will pass in time, It will
pass in time, It will pass, It's gonna pass in time, It's
gonna pass, It's gonna pass in time, It will pass in time, I
will pass, It's gonna pass, It's gonna pass.
oh yeah you know you couldnt cause me any harm
although at times i make it start to then not long
i can see your eyes all know (oh no?)
and theyre telling me your truth
i can feel your heart
especially when its on the roof of my mouth
theres no right or wrong
this isnt a test
and i wont lose my experience
i wont try
to put it aside
but its alright
you know that its alright
its alright
its gonna be alright
and if i told you would you never know to guess
sure whats the point when little often means so much less
i can see for miles and know
when youre telling me your truth
i can feel my heart
especially now its on the roof of my mouth
theres no right or wrong
this isnt a gesture
and i dont use my experience
i dont try
to let it go by
but its alright
you know that its alright
its alright
Running down a central reservation in last nights red dress,
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath;
Stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is fine just as it is.
Today is whatever I want it to mean,
Today is whatever I want it to mean.
Is this where memories are made,
Well, dreams do come true.
Everything I ever took for granted,
I want to see it through.
I step through every shade,
Any color you bring,
Cause this time, this time, this time,
Is fine just as it is.
Today is whatever I want it to mean,
Today is whatever I want it to mean.
It's like living in the middle of the ocean,
With no future, no past,
And everything that's good right now,
Well, I don't wish for it to last.
I'll step through brilliant shades,
Every color you bring,
Cause this time, this time, this time,
Is fine just as it is.
And today is whatever I want it to mean,
Today is whatever I want it to mean,
Today, today, is whatever I want it to mean,
Today is whatever I want it to mean.
Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
I'm sure we used to stay?
Is it only a dream away?
Took a raft I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time for my dinner
Why must people always want what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake?
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away, away
Lost a friend I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forget her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take but forget to ask?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
Where I'm told we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
You been tryin' to find the line to define the strength in weak hands
Read the first page then guess the rest and don't always know what's
best
You been tryin' to swim up the sun's burning reflection
And tryin' to skim a boulder in the very same direction
Where it goes
No one knows
No one follows
Where it goes
No one knows
No one follows
I'll be a flame burning in the darkness and I will light what's in your
heart
I'll be a flame in the dark but I can't light what's not in your heart
I can lie...I can lie...I can lie...I can lie...
This whole world may never change
The way it's always been
I know all the ways of war
Can not change it back again
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all the hurt is gone
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
You and me were..black and white
I've been searching...for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me...
This whole world may never change
From my soul I found some pride,
I only found this after she died,
From a moment I acquired such grace,
Everybody seemed to want to take her place.
The best part to life it seems,
The best part of life was a dream,
The best part to breaking up,
Is when I'm waking up to see,
Reality never lives up to all as it used to be,
Never seemed quite what it used to seem.
Wasn't sure it was never quite clear,
What the hell was happening all around here,
Never seemed to make much sense,
All that fuss for just the lack of common sense.
The best part to life it seems,
The best part of life was a dream,
The best part to breaking up is,
When I'm waking up to see,
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be,
Never seemed quite what it used to seem,
Can not be all that it used to be,
You're not as quiet as you used to be.
From my soul I found my pride,
Only found this after she died,
From a moment I acquired such tastes,
Everybody seemed to want to take her place.
The best part to life it seems,
The best part of life was a dream,
The best part to waking up,
Is when I'm breaking up to see,
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be,
Never seemed quite what it used to seem,
Can not be all that it used to be,
You're not as quiet as you used to seem,
What did you mean.
What did you seem
Look at the priest and the blood and the fire
Weighted down with metal, I wonder why?
Haven't we moved further in time?
Haven't we advanced along the line?
Yesterday is gone, yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny
Yesterday is gone, yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny
Isn't it the scheme of love to take?
Wouldn't my life remain the same?
Wonder if my God could take the blame
Time's the only voodoo dreams can change
Yesterday is gone, yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny
Yesterday is gone, yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny
Let your mind go free
Yesterday is gone, yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Blind chances of destiny
Yesterday is gone, yesterday is gone
Let it fade away
Now when I need you, you're nowhere around
Just when I'm going down you're taking a trip down town
How do you fly so far with the world in disguise?
Do the people around you put you to where they need you
Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow?
Are you still like the trees
Only bend with a breeze?
I long to smell you, to feel you within
I need you near to me just the touch of your skin
I want to hear you and tell you again
But so much can happen makes it harder to explain
Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow?
Are you still like the trees
Only bend with a breeze?
You think I need no one you're always around
Turning on a sixpence locked in the crowd
Now when I need you, you're nowhere around
Just when I'm going down you're taking a trip down town
Where do you go
When the wind doesn't blow?
Are you still like the trees
Sunday morning I'm waking up
Can't even focus on a coffee cup
Don't even know whose bed I'm in
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
Sunday morning I'm waking up
Can't even focus on a coffee cup
Don't even know whose bed I'm in
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
Sunday morning I'm waking up
Can't even focus on a coffee cup
Don't even know whose bed I'm in
Where do I start? Where do I begin?
And you start swimming and swimming
And swimming, and swimming
And you never stop swimming until you reach the ocean
And you're swimming into the sunset without me
And I find myself suddenly waking up
And there are four young girls
Giving me water from a vine leaf
Just dropping it onto my tongue
Nothing more, you surround me
Break on through, release me
Nothing more, you surround me
Break on through, release me
Break on through, release me
Do you even know what's going on in a heart anymore
Constellations turned into little Polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove
You were still breathing but wouldn't move
Okay, okay what a thing to choose
This one's gonna bruise
You'll learn one day won't you
What you want is bad for the souls
Lost out in the rain
Afraid of the dark still in pain, still in pain
Did you even notice how the wind didn't change that much
Fluctuations only sheets that you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say
You could trust me but I was lying anyway
Okay, okay what a thing to lose
Left out in the rain, misuse
You'll learn one day won't you
You'll learn some day won't you
What you had was good for a while then it changed
Got too intense made it strange
I feel bad for you, I feel bad for you
But I don't know why, I don't know why
Tired but I ain't sleeping
Thinking about some sad affair
And why i should be leaving
Cause some of these thoughts only seem to take me outta here
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
Well, These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
Thinking about tomorrow
Tired form all the time I spare
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
Well, these habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
So easy...
So long bye my friend so long
So long will it ever happen again
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been creating for you so long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me from you, so long
Tired but I ain't dreaming
Falling into solid air
And why I must be leaving
Cause one of these days I'm gonna pull out all my hair
Yeah, these habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
Well, these habits are so hard to make and they're so easy to break
So easy...
So long, bye my friend so long
So long will it ever happen again
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been creating for you so long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger
'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger
I think about you on a moon-lit night
And the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to lose
There's never any time for sleep
Look at me doin' all these things without you
We always left a new world untrue
Where was it we tried hard not to go to?
I think that's how I finally came through
All the things we took for granted
The words still live on in my head
All the times I took for granted
All the words I never said
I think about you in a moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to give
There's never any time for sleep
So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
When human life was all but left to hunger
'Cause when I stray from the truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger
Too much leaves an empty hunger
Living without you
Living without you
Can't try the flying
You know I'll be near
You know I'll be near
Take your time in the morning light
There's nobody here
There's nobody here
When you feel too much to ever let it show
You turn it up, turn it down,
Turn it on, turn it round and leave
When you just don't conceive
In what you believe
You want to learn the trick to turn
What's not so pretty into something more beautiful
It's the same place that I learned to turn
What could be sorrow into some kind of mercy
When I feel too much to ever let it show
I turn it up, turn it down,
Turn it off, turn it round and leave
Then I just don't conceive
Oh, the sisters of mercy
They are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh, I hope you run into them
You, who've been traveling so long
Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But soon it comes around to your soul
Well, I've been where you're hanging
And I think, I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says, that you've sinned
Well, they lay down beside me
I made my confessions to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping
And I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous
If I find that they've sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
We weren't lovers like that
These memories are just pieces of sky
Pieces of something much bigger than I
To anyone else just endless blue
I see time framed, an image of you
These memories hold me like the moon
Holds the sea like the sky holds the sun
The sea holds my tears and carries me
When my heart is too heavy for one
When it's over, it's over
I best get busy living
Been a long time gone
A dress made of air and webs and you
The way dreams evaporate as they come true
To anyone else just endless blue
An invisible kite string connects me to you
I knew that it's selfish to think you'd come here
There's so many people that must need you near
There's so many people that need to know
That you're still with them even when you go
That you're still with them even when they don't know
When it's over, it's over
I best get busy living
You'll be a long time gone
How do you know how much you'll be missed
Does it add up to some names on a list
Do you know we're just pieces of sky
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things?ll be brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things?ll get brighter
Someday, yeah, we?ll put it together and we?ll get it undone
Someday, when your head is much lighter
Someday, yeah, we?ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday, when the world is much brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things?ll be brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh, things?ll be brighter
Someday, yeah, we?ll put it together and we?ll get it undone
Someday, yeah, when your head is much lighter
Someday, we?ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday, when the world is much brighter
Right now, right now
Right now, right now
You just wait and see
How things are gonna be
You just wait and see
How things are gonna be
You just wait and see
How things are gonna be
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things?ll be brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Some of the worst wrongs
Get righted on three chords
Like a promise or a kiss goodbye
When the sneer on your lips
Is the livest thing just alive enough to die
Open my heart
In my heart there's something telling me
To open my heart
Open my heart
Yeah, I've been blind and all that's been cut
Is a short loop runnin' 'round my mind
Love is like laughter
See it happen by chance
Like a promise be a kiss goodbye
When the smile on your lips
Is the livest thing more alive than any sky I've seen
Open my heart
In my heart there's something telling me
To open my heart
Open my heart
Yeah, I've been blind and all that's been cut
Is a short loop runnin' 'round my mind
Open my heart
In my heart there's something telling me
To open my heart
Open my heart
Yeah, I've been blind and all that's been cut
Is a short loop runnin' 'round my mind
It's just runnin' 'round my mind
Runnin' all the time
Runnin' all the time
It's a short loop,a short loop
You've seen sad times, your eyes have told me so
Blue and bad times, you think that I don't know
But there'll be glad times, just you wait and see
And there'll be a sun rise, if you lean on me
Said lean on me babe, you can lean on me
I imagine I could comfort you, I have forgotten
The things that you've been through
But there's one thing, on which we can a agree
When you're ready darling, you can lean on me
And the love I bring will grow into a lasting thing
Put your heart on wings and set you free
And as you rise up into the clearing skies
Maybe you will realize you can lean on me
And lean on me, you can lean on me
Lean on me, you can lean on me
Lean on me, you can lean on me
Lean on me, you can lean on me
All your heartache hidden deep inside
So there's no telling
How many tears you've cried
But like the river to the weeping willow tree
I can hold your teardrops child,
So lean on me and the love I bring
Will grow into a lasting thing
Put your heart on wings and set you free
And as you rise up into the clearing skies
Maybe you will realize you can lean on me
And lean on me, you can lean on me
Lean on me, you can lean on me
And lean on me, you can lean on me
Lean on me, you can lean on me
And lean on me, you can lean on me
Lean on me, you can lean on me
And lean on me, you can lean on me
You lose it just to find it
And as you walk right by it
You forget how you got there
And why you never meant to stay
And I won't watch you waste away
And I won't fake another day
And if one truth leads you to five
I still don't believe in your reasons why
I just don't believe in why
You love her, you need her
To feel is to believe her
You know it, you want it
You just can't believe you've got it
And I can't watch you waste away
And I won't beg you still to stay
And if one truth leads you to five
I still don't believe in your reasons why
I just don't believe in why, just don't believe in why
I couldn't watch you walk away
And not forget it
I couldn't watch you turn to stone
And just regret it a single day
Not a single day, not a single day, not a single day
If I lose you, could you find me
Or would you walk right by me?
The soul and the spirit
Each have got their own limit
And I can't waste another second
Living in hell like it's some kind of heaven
And if one truth leads to another
Then isn't there one I can uncover?
But there isn't one that I will not discover
It's the right time, it's my time
It's the right time, it's my time
It's my turn to discover
And I won't waste a single second
Living in hell as a nadir of heaven
And if one truth leads you to five
I still don't believe in your reasons why
And if one truth leads to another
Isn't there one we can uncover?
If there isn't one that we cannot discover
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
Knowledge is power
I'm waitin' for the planes to tumble
Waitin' for the towns to fall
I'm waitin' for the cities to crumble
Waitin' till I see you crawl
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
And yes, it's getting hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
I know the stars that shine on me
Are brighter than you or I could ever be
I know there's an answer to your question
But I don't know that I could word it right
Say what you mean, don't tell it like it could be
I'm not sure should I just say it out loud
Say what you mean, don't tell it like it could be
Right at this time, I'm gonna keep that in mind
One love is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love than messing with the wrong stuff
Just the comfort of strangers
Always the comfort of strangers
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know the sun that shines on me
Has better times than you or I may ever be
I know there's an answer to the question
And I'm not sure that I should word it right
Say what you mean, don't tell it like it could be
Every time you're gonna set me free
Say what you mean, don't tell it like it could be
Right this time, let's take it right home to see
One love is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love than messing with the wrong stuff
It's just the comfort of strangers
Always the comfort of strangers
Why, some of those are like best friends, best friends
Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath
Stepping through brilliant shades, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean
If this is where memories are made I'm gonna like what I see
And everything that I ever took for granted I'm gonna let it be
I step through every shade, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean
And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be
When it's really all, make it really all, compared to what
It's like living in the middle of the ocean with no future, no past
And everything that's good about now I might just glide right past
I'm stepping through brilliant shades, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is fine just as it is
And everything is sacred here and nothing is as sacred
Blue and you lean on me, you know that your crushin' me
You're soaking and I cannot breathe
You're seedin' the clouds, you're buildin' a web 'cross the night
An unusual night meant for me
Collectin' dead rainbows from puddles and mires
Takin' them home to warm by the fire
This flower's in bloom, it'll never expire
It's just comin' 'round again
I'm tearin' my heart from the seams
I keep tearin' my heart on the seams
But I'll keep pushin' ya 'cause I know just where you're going
Yeah, I'll be pushin' ya till it's to far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike 'cause at the speed of light
I can do what I like
Blue and you lean on me, you know that your crushin' me
You're soakin' but still I can breathe
You're seedin' the clouds, you're buildin' a web 'cross the night
Saved by unusual daydreamin' ways
I'm tearin' my heart from the seams
I keep tearin' my heart at the seams
But I'll keep pushin' ya 'cause I know just where you're goin'
Yeah, I'll be pushin' ya till it's to far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike 'cause at the speed of light
I can do what I like
Yeah, I'll be lovin' ya like it's all I've ever known
Yeah, I'll be givin' ya till it's too far to get back home
I'll put my heart on strike 'cause at the speed of light
I can be out of sight
Yeah, I'll be lovin' ya like it's all I've ever known
Yeah I'll be lovin' ya till it's to far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike 'cause at the speed of light
Right now, it's feels like forever, can't wait
Right now, it's looks like tomorrow's too late
To meet those expectations
Ones that have never unknown
Right now, it's high not to fall out of place
You make me wrong, have I fallen from grace?
What you do for yourself, you expect to someone else
Well, I heard that love is a verb
Right now, it seems quite cold hearted
But how did my grieving before we parted
The ground where we lay
And hope to my heart, you could stay
Right now, it's high not to fall out of place
If I'm wrong, have I fallen from grace?
What I do to myself, I expect to someone else
But I heard that love is a verb
Right now, it feels like tomorrow, can't wait
Right now, it looks like forever's too late
To meet our expectations
Looks like you're never coming home
Looks like you'll make that road alone
Caught in the headlights of a very mixed up world
Where everything you fear is here
Where your shadow blocks your light
Oh, beautiful world to me
Beautiful world
Doves cried when she tried to fly
When her wings spread she heard their song
Flies to your flame but so hard to see at night
Alone in your dreams
Beautiful world
It's a beautiful world to me
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world to you
Don't let me go outside tonight
Keep me safe within this room
Afraid of what I feel, afraid of what I'll do
Everything I feel is here
Where your shadow blocks the light
One embrace, one embrace
My heart, sometimes
It's a beautiful world
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Da la da da da da
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm greivin'
If you wanna leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn back out there
Oh, baby, baby
It's a wild world
It's hard to get by
Just to upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby
It's a wild world
I'll always remember you
Like a child, girl
Now I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
'Cause I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
Now if you wanna leave take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot of bad, oh beware
Oh, baby, baby
It's a wild world
It's hard to get by
Just to upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby
It's a wild world
I'll always remember you
Like a child, girl
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Da la da da da da
Now if you wanna leave take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad, oh beware
Oh, baby, baby

Oh, baby, baby
It's a wild world
I'll always remember you

Whenever I need a friend
It's you that I come round to seeing again
You know that I'll always be near
You're flesh and blood and you're my memory
Live on in my memory
I send you nothing but love
Just wait and see
I send you nothing but love
Just wait for me
wait and see...
wait and see...
Right words, you know all the right words to say
You don't always mean them my way
You don't always mean what you say
Whenever I need a friend
It's you that I come round to seeing again
And everything that you do
Is everything I wouldn't ask of you
You can ask me too...
I send you nothing but love
Just wait and see
I send you nothing but love
Just wait for me
wait and see...
wait and see...
Right words, you know all the right words to say
You don't have to mean them my way
When you wake in the morning
[Unverified] blue
See the sun replace the moon
It isn't hard to do
When the light shines
Everything you are
And the light shines
It's there for you my love
Doo, dah, doo
When you wake in the morning
Leave the shadows where they lie
Make the changes right away
Tomorrow is today
When the light shines
Everything you are
And the light shines
It's there for you my love
I dreamed of you last night
You had a different face
Or maybe just a hair color
You're older and wiser
Yet more like a child
I was amazed to find you still there in the back of my mind
This dream was short
This dream was happy
This dream was short
This dream was happy
Perch your lover on a slow burner
If you wanna keep your loving woman
Perch your lover on a slow simmer
If it helps keep the love from growing dimmer
Now hold on hold out
You're still thrown against a wall
Never looking to be picked up or left alone to fall
Can ya touch me with your love?
Would I feel it if I trust enough?
Could it almost be a lust for life?
Would I feel it if I don't know if I sighed?
You could put it on a cold burner...
Deception never kept you any warmer
Truth is cooking on a slow simmer
The light's still strong even when it's dimmer
Yeah hold on hold out
You got thrown against a wall
Never wanted to be picked up or left alone to fall
Can ya touch me with your love?
Would I feel it if I trust enough?
Could it almost be a lust for life?
Would I feel it if I don't know if I sighed?
Troubled water's love fall down
But laughter found another home to go
If the truth in the heart gets put aside
Just let me go and then wait for the millionth time
Hold on, hold out
I got thrown against the wall
Wasn't looking to be picked up and left alone to fall
Better touch me just like love
Still feel it when I trust enough?
Could almost be a lust for life?
I could feel it though I don't know if I sighed?
I could feel it and I know it's alright
I could feel it and I know it's alright
Met him in a cafe one day and he told his story right away
They got married and divorced in the same day
Now he'd rather know her debt than walking down some street
Another plan in her head, in her head
So many places they have never seen
For everywhere now seems somewhere they must've been
Look him in the eye to see his point of view
But then it goes back to what he always knew
And wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
Well, summer days in chapel sky
They were they preaching a lie with no black tie
Who'd given and take in the same day
He's tired from sleeping with the dead
And could be running down some street
Another plan in his head, in his head
So many places he had never seen
Now everywhere looks like somewhere he must've been
He's looking everywhere to find a point of view
Realizes it's come back what he knew
And if you were to leave before the morning light
I pray there's an angel who'd hold you tight
Guide you on some higher flight
Somewhere far from here where blue seas run clear
In this world where no one speaks our language
I only want to start anew
And wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell, yeah
Wouldn't you tell
Wouldn't you tell
you walked into my house last night
i couldnt help but notice,
a light that was long gone still burning strong
you were sitting,
your fingers like fuses,
your eyes were cinnamon
you said you stand for every known abuse,
that was ever that was ever threatened to anyone but you
and why should i know better by now when im old enough not to
while every lie speaks the language of love,
it never held the meaning i was thinking of
and i cant decide over right or wrong,
i guess sometimes you need a place where you belong
somewhere sing along was through the wrong my whole day,
little things like this dont matter to me
others felt that you should stand for every known abuse to hand,
and all the things that they could never see
you said you stood for every known abuse,
that was ever that was ever promised to anyone like you
dont you wish you knew better by now when youre old enough not to
when every lie speaks the language of love,
it never held the meaning i was thinking of
and i cant decide over right or wrong,
you left the feeling that i just do not belong
wondering too many and a joke gone too far,
i see your face drive like a stolen car
its harder to hide when youre itching your eye,
its harder to hide what you really saw
oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse,
that i've ever seen my way through
don't i wish i knew better by now when i think i'm starting to
when every lie speaks the language of love,
it never held the meaning i was thinking of
and i lost the line between right or wrong,
i just want to find a place where i belong
why should you know better by now when your old enough not to,
I wanna sit and talk and laugh with you as the day ends
I wanna see your smiling face before the new day begins
You never know what it means to see
To see the sunlight in your hair and eyes and everywhere
I wanna shout about it
But I keep quiet about it
Wanna laugh about it
But I don't joke about it
Wanna live without it
But I can't do without it
I'm someone's daughter, not a son but a sun
Can I ease your pain till the morning comes
I'm no one's daughter revel on to the sun
Gonna ease your pain till the morning comes
Keep lookin' for the reason
high and low to let it go
Keep losin' my mind
lookin' for the peace that I'll never find
I wanna know how it feels to be the sunlight
in your hair and eyes and everywhere
I wanna shout about it
But I keep quiet about it
Wanna laugh about it
But I don't joke about it
Wanna live without it
But I can't do without it
I'm someone's daughter, not a son but a sun
Can I ease your pain till the morning comes
I'm no one's daughter revel on to the sun
Falling from the western shore to find yourselves alone again
Wondering where you have been
Your lonely voice calls across the starlit coast
Reaching out to be seen
She cries your name, three times again
She cries your name, how long can this love remain?
Cut beneath the surface screen of what we say and what we seem
Is a trick to be seen
She keeps cryin' out your name, but her scream sound the same
How fickle fate can be
She cries your name, three times the pain
She cries your name, how long can this love remain?
Birds that scream for territory can learn to sing euphorically
Give him time an' he's real
And there's a wasteland in your soul the burned out trees will leave you cold
Livin' out an ideal
She cries your name, three times again
She cries your name, how long can this love remain?
She cries your name, twelve times again
She cries your name, how long can this love remain?
You saw a time to come,
Where the eyes of the world would see as one,
You saw a time to come,
Where all of our laughter is seen as through the eyes of the son.
An' you'll get angry in this town,
Cos' you've seen more than what's been found,
Can't be too needy in this town,
Cos' there's enough of that around.
Safety in lovers,
Freedom from there in,
Safety in lovers,
And somewhere to begin.
You saw a time to come,
Where the eyes of the world will cry as one,
You saw a time to come,
Where all our work's not done as for the good of one.
You'll get angry in this town,
Cos' you've seen more than what's been found,
Can't be too needy in this town,
Cos' there's enough of that around.
Safety in lovers,
Freedom from there in,
Safety in lovers,
And somewhere to begin,
Safety in lovers,
Freedom from there in,
Safety in lovers,
That we must fly is a [unverified] thing
And nothin' can stay forever locked in
I'll take your blame like a ball and a chain
I'll wear it 'round my neck, I won't feel no shame
Breakin' waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me from this love
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Don't want no sympathy
Draggin' me down, makin' me sorry
When we can wake up and see
All that we never knew to be
Breakin' waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
(Release me from this love)
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me from this love
(Set me free with your love)
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Breakin' waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
(Release me from this love)
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me from this love
(Set me free with your love)
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me from this love
(Release me from this love)
If it's ours it'll come
(Release me from this love)
(Set me free with your love)
If it's ours, it'll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Release me
So much stays unknown 'til the time has come,
Did you ever imagine you could feel so strong,
And what you fear just turn into relief,
Yes see your doubt become your own belief,
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The tears will help to keep your need at bay,
So come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
My mother told me just before she died,
My mother told me just before she died,
Oh darling darling don't be like me,
You will fall in love with the very first man that you meet,
But mother mother some will never know,
The love that you have installed in my soul,
So come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Your here just a while,
Your here just a while,
Some much stays unknown 'til the time you are strong,
Did you ever imagine you could be so strong,
And watch your doubt just turn into belief,
You see you pain become its own relief,
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The years will help to keep your need at bay,
So come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Come on now come on now child,
Your here just a while,
Your here just a while,
Your here just a while,
And you might as well smile,
You might as well smile,
'Cos tomorrow you just don't know,
It will pass, It's gonna pass, It will pass in time,
It will pass in time, It will pass, It's gonna pass in time,
It's gonna pass, It's gonna pass in time, It will pass in time,
Now your sitting on a Paris train, laughing at your own jokes again
Sun splits the trees into beautiful broken light
Never cry more tears than you could hold in your hands
When all the world's airbrushed, it's a sacred bond of trust
Sometimes, sometimes I see right through the scenery
The first place that's on my mind
The last place I find each time
Sometimes, I swim beyond the scenery
The last place that's on my mind
The first place I find each time
Now I'm sitting on a Paris train, molten ash falls like rain
Fire burns the trees, it's a beautiful fatality
Love the way you stand your ground, sea moves as mercury
To break its perfect skin to dare to dive within
Sometimes, sometimes I see much more than is good for me
The first thing that's on my mind
The last place I'd look each time
Sometimes, I slip inside the imagery
And the last thing that's on my mind's
The first thing I'll do each time
Each time, each time
The stars racing to burn out
Just stars racing to burn out
A storm waiting to break
Trees standing black against the sky
This was inevitable, this was inevitable
Sometimes, sometimes we can see beyond our history
The last place you hope to find
The one that's been there all the time
Sometimes, sometimes we can swim beyond the scenery
And the first place that's on your mind
The first place you'd find each time
Each time, each time, each time, each time
The stars racing to burn out
A storm waiting to break
Magpie, magpie, I stand here watching the world go by
I wonder do you ever question why?
... I'm still here wondering what you knowing
I've seen more everyday than I could dream
I don't mind no what I tell you
I don't mind no what I say
I don't mind no what we're saying
But it's a hard hard fight
A hard, hard fight
And I'm turning this one in,
I'm turning this one in
I won't turn back, I've seen the sign
I won't turn back not for anyone
I've seen the sign, and I know what is mine
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
You didn't take I don't think you mean quite what you say
I'm hoping you're the friend you claim to be
Oh crow, crow, will you tell me ṗlease,
Tell me please what you know
You've seen more of the book than I could dream
I do not know what to tell you
I do not know what to say
I do not know what we're saying friend
But it's a hard hard fight
A hard, hard fight
And I'm turning this one in,
I'm turning this one in
I won't turn back, I've seen the sign
I won't turn back not for anyone
I've seen the sign, and I know I have faith
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Eh, eh yeah
Silence when I won't be here anymore
Silence when I won't be here anymore
Silence when I won't be here anymore
Silence when I won't be here anymore
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
If there's something you wanna do...
You'll know when you've seen it through
Yeah we live as we dream alone
But that's not all you've ever known
Stop, look and listen I can find you
I've been standing right beside you
You don't have to remind me
I know and I won't let go
And if you've taken me for someone who cares
Well there's a dream I know we both have shared
If I talk to you after all's been done
Then I know we'll find home wherever we've gone
You're not the only one...
But there's something I wanna show
No I'm not sure that I should do so...
Now I live all our dreams for free
But that's not all that ever could be
Stop, look and listen I can find you
I've been standing right beside you
You don't have to remind me
I know and I won't let go
And if I've taken you for someone who cares
Well there's a dream I know we both have shared
If you talk to me after what's been said
Then I know there's a home wherever we're led
You're not the only one...
You're not the only one...
And if you've taken me for someone who cares
Then there's a dream I hope we both can share
If I talk to you after what's been said
Well, you have made this home wherever we're led
You're not the only one...
You're not the only one...
We live as we dream alone
But that's not all you've shown
We live as we dream alone
And that's not all we've known
As we dream alone
I'm that great divide
That never was at all
That's neither large nor heavy
That's neither light or small
There always was and will be
Forever and through all time
Cause here and there and nowhere
always is
It's this I am I find
It's this I am I find
It's this I am I find
When all is one another
Yes one is all mine
Serenely flowing ever
Beyond the tide
The flower blows away
Cause I am but one too
Unless I pray and break up
Really, not at all
A dream smiles at me
I've been here all the time
I've been here all the time
Stars light they sky in a galaxy of emptiness tonight
Though I'm happiest when there's no reason for me to be
When no one's expectations do a heavy on my heart
And so much hope it sometimes tears me all apart
Won't you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness...
A galaxy of emptiness...
Stars light they sky in a gutter full of of broken dreams tonight
Though how not content that's the way it seems to be
Still I've been fightin' all week though I don't know what for
Hopin' someone else, someone you used to score
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
And there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness...
A whole galaxy of emptiness...
Monkey see, monkey do
I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you
With all that expectation do a heavy on your heart
But no ideas to let it tear it all apart
Won't you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
A galaxy of emptiness...
And there's a galaxy of emptiness...
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Yeah there's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness...
When the Devil comes blowing through your door
You'll know there's trouble, and he's coming back for more
You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good it will never want for more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify, got lost a little further
You've been trying to justify, find out how and where it came
Devil was your angel, but it's not no more
The Devil was your angel, when you weren't sure
Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors
Just to put a face to voice which always home?
To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good, I swear I'd never want for more
But when I found my peace there was still mistakes
However painfully aware every step I take
Trying to rectify got lost a little further
Well, I've been trying to justify, find out how and where it came
The Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel, there's always my whore
Gonna take you back down I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams are my own again
Gonna take you right down, and I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own own own again, here I am again
Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel, there's always my whore
Maybe you're an angel, tried to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure
Faith has a good side still everyone
She ever loved they all turned bad
Constance his own way of breathing
And you know you couldn't will him to survive
Couldn't will him if you if you tried
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And you know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
I've seen your good side but I still don't know
Just what it is that you might want
See you've got your own way of moving
And you know you could save me
Save my soul
I'll save some for you
Hold my soul, feel like I'm falling
Feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And you know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
So much time gets lost in my mind
But I know now what I must rely on
It's a sound and forgetting
Ain't the worst thing
I've been out walking, don't do too much talking
Wouldn't take too much time
Wouldn't take all your time
'Cause it's as precious as mine
Save my soul
I'll save some for you
Save my soul, feel like I'm falling
Feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And you know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
And you're as precious as mine
Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath
Stepping through brilliant shades, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean
If this is where memories are made I'm gonna like what I see
And everything that I ever took for granted I'm gonna let it be
I step through every shade, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean
And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be
When it's really all, make it really all, compared to what
It's like living in the middle of the ocean with no future, no past
And everything that's good about now I might just glide right past
I'm stepping through brilliant shades, all the color you bring
This time, this time, this time is fine just as it is
And everything is sacred here and nothing is as sacred
From my soul I found some pride,
I only found this after she died,
From a moment I acquired such grace,
Everybody seemed to want to take her place.
The best things in life were dreams,
The best things in life it seems,
The best part to breaking up,
Is when you're waking up to me,
Reality never lives up to all as it used to be,
Never seemed quite what it used to mean,
All that it used to mean X3
All that it used to seem.
Wasn't sure it was never quite clear,
What the hell was happening all around here,
Never seemed to make much sense,
All that fuss for just the little of common sense.
The best things in life were dreams,
The best things in life it seems,
The best part to breaking up,
Is when you're waking up to me,
Reality never lived up to quite as it used to seem,
Never seemed all that it used to mean,
Never seemed quite as it used to seem,
All that it used to mean X2
All that it used to seem X2
