Abra Moore (born June 8, 1969 in San Diego, California) is a folk-styled rock singer-songwriter. Her 1997 album Strangest Places included the hit "Four Leaf Clover", which received airplay in Midwest U.S. radio markets and VH1 and MTV2 rotation, and charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
Moore's parents named Abra after the heroine of John Steinbeck's East of Eden. She was raised in Puna, Hawaii, in a bohemian household that had very strong jazz influences, including jam sessions by guest musicians. When she was 19 she joined Poi Dog Pondering with a group of friends, moving to Los Angeles in 1988 and to Austin in 1992. Moore left the band shortly afterward to pursue a solo career. Her first album was Sing (1995), followed by Strangest Places (1997), which had a companion CD Live from the Strangest Places, featuring acoustic versions of several tracks from the album. A single from this album, "Four Leaf Clover", peaked at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100; this was Moore's only charting single. "Four Leaf Clover" was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. During this time, another of her songs, "Trip On Love", was featured in the soundtrack for the 1999 film Cruel Intentions.
Paint on your wings, it?s time to fly
Red, gold and green, daddy, the color you like
Waiting for you, waiting for you to let it all go, to give up this fight
You?re finally gonna know, what?s on the other side
And the day turns into night
As the light falls from your eyes
Taking away the cup that?s keeping you alive
Done everything we could, it?s time to stop trying
Finally free, paint on your wings, it?s time to fly
Red, gold and green, daddy, the color you like
Waiting for you, waiting for you to let it all go, to give up the fight
What if I just let it all out?
What if I just put it all down?
What if I twist and shout
And can?t stand to see you around?
As blind as I am, as cruel as you are
I always thought you?d be my shining star
What if I wish you wish you well?
What if I never, never sell?
What if I keep your heart
And pretend I can?t tell?
As blind as I am, as cruel as you are
Should have known we?d never get too far
You?ll always be my little shining star
No matter what or wherever you are
You?ll always be my little shining star
You keep calling me back to you
You keep calling me back
Oh, what are friends for, for?
What if I never leave this place?
What if I dropped out of the race?
What if I traveled around the world
And only see your face?
As blind as I am, as cruel as you are
Should have known we?d never get too far
You?ll always be my little shining star
No matter what or wherever you are
You?ll always be my little shining star
Shining
Shining
Shining
You keep calling me back to you
You keep calling me back
Don't tie the string so tight
She tried
she'll never slip away from you
A broken wing don't fly
A kiss, a kiss to say goodbye
To a world you used to know
I watch you chase her down
Away from you
But, can you hear her cry
Hope, hope is all you've got
You've forgotten how to find your way
Over you
Don't tie the string so tight
she'll never slip away from you
She tried
On the way to your house
I feel new, I feel color, I?m with you
On the way to your room
I?m alive, I?m a flutter, I?m a bloom
And time, it stands still
And we wait until
The light
Flickers and fades
On the way to your heart
I feel blue, I feel a stutter without you
Does this light have a chance?
On the way to your house
Come on in now, come in out of the crowd
Too many faces, too many loud sounds
Stay awhile, won't you stay here in front of me
Take your chances on what could be
And when it's cold out, feel no fear
Here's someone to hold on to now, feel no fear
So many lights now, their calling me to the night
So many strangers on this broken avenue
Feel no fear
Change, won't you roll me down and I can't go in
I didn't know it could feel like this
I didn't know the hurt
And I try to explain to myself
But I can't find no word
So I lie about it
And I tell 'em, I'm feelin' fine
And I'll cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
I didn't know it could be like this
I didn't know it could go so far
And I try to reveal the part of me
But you can't find no scar
And I lie about it
And I tell 'em I'm feelin' fine
And I cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
Try if you can and if you can't
Sing if you want and if you can't, make a sound
Go on and on and on 'til you can't go on
And on any longer
Cry if you can and if you can't
Fall to the ground without a sound
Hold on and on and on won't you hold on
And on and on, don't you let go
'Cause I will be around
To catch you when you're down
You see, it's all about hope, so don't lose sight now
It's all about faith, so don't give up on me
It's all about trust, I'm lifting you up
I'm holding you safe under my wing
So try if you can and if you can't
Sing if you want and if you can't, make a sound
Go on and on and on 'til you can't go on
And on any longer
Cry if you can and if you can't
Fall to the ground without a sound
Hold on and on and on won't you hold on
And on and on, don't you let go
'Cause I will be around
To catch you when you're down
Summer's ending
And when it does all my flowers will fall
And when they fall the colors will fade
And it could leave me anywhere
Picture-boxed movie starts in stereo
Paperbacks and radio have taken his place
The pull of a ferris wheel, the sounds of a train
And it could take me anywhere
And it could leave me anywhere
Listen, can you hear them fall
They're falling down, a hundred flowers
I can't count them all
They're falling down, a thousand times
I can't catch them all
And it could leave me anywhere
It could take me anywhere
Summer's ending
And when it does all my flowers will fall
And when they fall the colors will fade
And it could leave me anywhere
It could leave me anywhere
It could leave me anywhere
It could leave me anywhere
It could leave me
Listen, can you hear them fall
This is the land of my sunset
This is my tipsy turvy sky
I hear the soundless singing ocean
And I don't even have to try
Tumble and fumble as it rushes
Rapidly moving in my eye
Breathe in enough to feel better
Heavenly hurting as I cry
Well, look at all these, all these reasons and explanations
For damage that I've done
I'm always trying but needing
All I need to be, be the one
Well, I hold the jewel
That keeps my body warm
It's so smooth, the jewel
That keeps my body, that keeps my body warm
Here are all the, all the these reasons
Reasons to believe, to believe what's wrong
And I can't be taken in silence
Can't you be the one, be the one I believe
Here it's going, so uncontrolling
But you know I can't be free
This is the land of my sunset
This is my tipsy turvy sky
I hear the soundless singing ocean
And I don't even want to try
Keeps my body warm
Keeps my body warm
Keeps my body warm
Hey, I hear you're back
Well, here don't you want your guitar back
Why, I really don't know for sure
And what it is I'm asking for
See the wood it's slowly fading
But the bridge I fixed it new
I took it downtown to the guitar man
He said he'd do the best, the best that he can
And you know how it was then
I thought it could last
I thought it was stronger
It's a mighty, mighty, mighty fine day to play
The three chords is all I have to say
I slip down the road
And the melody's got such a terrible hold on me
It's taking me back, it's taking me back
Taking me back
I keep it in glass
In case of a fire
Hey, why is it taking you so long
Hey, why is it taking you so long
Hey, why is it taking you so long
Hey, why is it taking you so long
Hey, why is it taking you so long
You're telling me the future plans
Where candy-colored pictures fill your hands
For a minute I am with you there
And I'm picking out some pretty dress to wear
But I'll never believe you now
I never believed you then
Shame
I know a place where summers shine
And every fairy tale comes real before my eyes
And the stories that you always tell
Well, they never held together too well, no
And I'll never believe you now
I never believed you then
And I'll never believe you now
Could you look at, at you now
And what it's doing to me
Broken pieces
Of what it used to be, yeah
Hey, yeah yeah
It used to be
Hey, yeah yeah
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
And I'll never believe you now
I never believed you then
Shame
Could you look at, at you now
And what it's doing to me
Broken pieces
Of what it used to be
Could you look at, at you now
And what it's doing to me
Broken pieces
Of what it used to be
Yeah yeah, could you look at
(Never believe you)
Look at, yeah
It used to be
Yeah yeah, could you look at
(Never believe you)
Could you look at
(Never believe you)
Yeah yeah, could you look at
(Never believe you)
Could you
Yeah yeah, could you look at
The road full of light
I have mine full of desire
In all, in all of the world
There is a big mountain
Full of green daffodils
Swimming in the coldest part of spring
In light, in light of it all
It comes pouring
Some going this way and others that
And straight down the track, you can hear 'em all falling
In light of it all
I have mine
Full of desire
In light of it all
Is that you?
Looks like you've changed your ways again
Is that you now?
It's funny how I can't remember
Well, I knew you better than that
At least I thought I knew you then
But what I know now
It's not always a happy ending
Hey, here comes that rainy day again
But hey, look at me, I don't feel like cryin
Hey, here comes that rainy day again
But hey, look at me, I don't feel like cryin'
Who said love is a game?
And who said love can be gambled, gambled away?
Is this me now?
Looks like I've changed my ways again
Is this me now?
Funny how you can't remember
Well, you know me better than that
At least you thought you knew me then
But what you know now
It's not always a happy ending
Yeah but hey, here comes that rainy day again
And hey, look at me, I don't feel like cryin'
And hey, here comes that rainy day again
Hey, look at me, I don't feel like cryin', no
I don't feel like cryin', no
I don't feel like it
You're traveling through my head again Just to look at you I pull you out every once in a while To lay with you To remember how it used to be You won't let me go free Burning streetlights, setting our hearts on fire Tipping the bottle, leaving our heads spinning Clinging tight now under the noonday sun Every once in a while Weaving a lover in the palm of my hand Running that river, making my head go round Keeping the tides easy Dripping teardrops fallin from the sky Every once in a while Touch and go Like a wet fish dripping from my fingertips You move me.
There was a boy
He was a young boy
He took his shirt off in the rain
And he started to sway
He'd reached for the raindrops
That fell through the air
He didn?t seem to have a care
In the whole wide world
And everyone he touched would turn to gold
And every time he loved his heart would explode
Then one day he climbed so high to touch the sky
And it carried him away
And everyone he touched would turn to gold
And every time he loved his heart would explode
Then one day he climbed so high to touch the sky
It carried him away
There was a boy
He was a young boy
He took his shirt off in the rain
He was funny that way
Hey, you, you are the one for me
And you, you?re making me feel all right
And when you smile, I can?t help it if I fall
And when you speak to me like that
I will answer every calling
'Cause we, we are the ones who can feel it
And we, we?re making it feel all right
The way you go, love will follow
Where you go, my love will follow you
Where you go, love will follow, follow
And you, yeah, my love will follow, follow
And you, my love will follow, follow
And you, you are the one for me
And you, you?re making me feel all right
'Cause where you go love will follow
Where you go, my love will follow you
Where you go, love will follow, follow
You, my love will follow, follow
This is the end, I just know it
No reason to pretend anymore
It's what you've always wanted
I watch you through my rear view as I drive away
Your image not so clear now
It's better this way oh yeah, oh
And all I can do is wish you the best
And all I can do anymore that's all I have left
You've been telling me for a year now, how we don't get along
I'm starting to believe you you're right, every thing's wrong
And it's too late to get it back, and it's too late to get it back
Yeah this is the end, I just know it
No reason to pretend anymore
It's what you've always wanted
I took down all your pictures, it helps me with the pain
Things are getting clearer
I'm taking chances
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I wonder slide, slide under the big sky
Who's gonna take care of me?
I'm not sure if I really want to
I'm not sure what it all means
I just want somebody to talk to
Talk to me?
I'm taking chances
And I'm talking carelessly
And I am walking backwards into the future
This world is getting too deep
And I'm not sure if I really want to
I'm not sure what this all means
I just want somebody to hold on
Hold me
I keep fallin', I keep fallin' and I keep fallin'
And I keep tumbling under the deep, deep
All I can do now is give up the whole thing
I'm not sure if I really want to
And I'm not sure what this all means, anymore
I'm taking chances
I'm taking chances
I'm taking chances
I'm taking chances
I'm taking chances
If I could hold you
You know I would
If the whole world would
Just stop turning and be real still
I said I?d meet you after midnight
I know I never did return
A lot of promises were broken
I never kept to my word
Crawling on my knees for you, for you
It feels like some Saturday cartoon, oh yeah
If I could tell ya, yeah, the way that I feel
Would you believe enough in magic
And carnival wheels?
Life is never say you?re sorry
Love is never make mistakes
Life is telling me the answer
If I can?t believe the rain
I meant to tell you I?m sorry
For all the hurt and senseless pain
I need to tell you I?m sorry
For all the love we never got to make
Calling me back
To the room on the hill
Say that the lie
Can't be right
If I could hold you
You know I would
If my whole world would just stop
Turning and be real still
I said I?d meet you after midnight
I know I never did return
A lot of promises were broken
I never kept to my word
I need to tell you I?m sorry
For everything that we?ve been through
I need to tell you I?m sorry
For all the love I never gave back to you
I?m sorry, I?m sorry
(Crawling on my knees for you)
I?m sorry, I?m sorry
I?m sorry, I?m sorry
I needed to blame somebody
I wanted you to be the one
Said I needed to blame somebody
I wanted you to be the one
Sometimes the wind brushes me back
Sometimes I feel faint
And sometimes I just don't know
Be alone sweet life
The wind cries in my head, cries
Sometimes I wanna go
I wanna hold you up, hold you up high above me
I wanted you to be the one
I wanna lift you up, lift you up high in the sky
I wanted you to be the one
High
You're gonna hold on
And never gonna, never let me go
You're gonna hold on, hold on
You're gonna hold on
And never gonna, never let me go
You're gonna hold on, hold on
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
Sugarite, sugarite
You?re on my mind
Sugarite, sugarite
Yeah, all of the time
Stumbling on my knees through this big world
Pondering which direction I should take
When every sign seems like the right one
Am I following my instincts?
Am I making a mistake?
Sugarite, sugarite
You?re deep in my soul
Sugarite, sugarite
I?m already home
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Following darkness
It?s feelin? more like home
Pining for the lightning
I keep reaching through the rain
I can?t help but call your name
Sugarite, sugarite
It?s been a long, long road
Sugarite, sugarite
I?m growing old
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Sugarite, sugarite
You?re on my mind
Sugarite, sugarite
Yeah, all of the time
Lying in my bed
The sun's pouring though
And all my thoughts
Go reeling back to you
Ask of me anything and I'll do it for you
Without question, I'll go where you take me to
And not until the end
Do we ask right or wrong
And it don't matter anyhow, it don't matter anyhow, and it don't matter anyhow, it don't matter anyhow
Step without looking
Come what may
Step without looking
Come what may
So if I seem a bit sober just turn and walk away
'cause it has occurred to me and I've just got to say
That lovers don't have anything but bliss and pain
Bliss and pain and a vast desert in between
And distracted lovers so dutifully inclined
Just make me sad, so dutifully inclined
Let's make a pact, and cast it to the wind
To never let our bond, be infused or thinned
For the promise of love, is the deciever
But when your in its confidence, you've got to believe
That it could take you anywhere, and it could lead you anywhere, it could take you anywhere and it could lead you anywhere
Stripped of conviction
Naked and beaten
Stripped of conviction
Naked and beaten
Step without looking
Come what may
Step without looking
I remember days when we were younger
We used to catch O'opv in the mountain stream
'Round the Ko'olav hills we'd ride on horseback
So long ago it seems it was a dream
Last night I dreamt I was returning
And my heart called out to you
But I fear you won't be like I left you
Me Kealoha Kv'v Home O Kahalvv
I remember days when we were wiser
When our world was small enough for dreams
And you have lingered there my sister
and I no longer can it seems
Last night I dreamt I was returning
And my heart called out to you
But I fear I am not as I left you
Me Kealoha Kv'v Home O Kahalvv
Change is the strangest thing, it cannot be denied
It can help you find yourself or make you lose your pride
Move with it slowly for on the road we go
Please do not hold on to me we all must go alone
I remember days when we were smiling
when we laughed and sang the whole night long
And I greet you as I find you
With the sharing of a brand new song
Last night I dreamt I was returning
And my heart called out to you
To please accept me how you find me
Me Kealoha Kv'v Home O Kahalvv
Me Kealoha Kv'v Home O Kahalvv
Well, I'll meet you in the middle and I'll crawl to the edge
And I'll stand there forever just to see if I can
And I'll cry a river as I lay in your bed
'Cause I need you like I need the rain
And I need you like I need the man
And I need you like I've never needed anything before
'Cause we're just running wild and young
It was only just for fun
This melancholy love
Well, I'll see you there in your midtown square
And I'll see you there and I just won't care
And I'll hold you down but I'll never let you fall
'Cause we're just running wild and young
It was only just for fun
This melancholy love
But could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why?
Well, I'll meet you in the middle and I'll crawl to the edge
And I'll stand there forever just to see if I can
And I'll cry a river as I lay in your bed
'Cause we're just running wild and young
It was only just for fun
This melancholy love
Yeah, we we're running wild and young
It was only just for fun, wasn't it?
This melancholy love
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
Could you tell me why I feel so sad about it?
If you want me to
I'll lie about the way it really feels
And if you want me to
I'll turn back around and forget the whole deal
But I wanted you
And I thought that you wanted me too
Sometimes signals get crossed
And love gets lost
But if you want me to
I'll just pretend that you didn't mean a thing to me
Deep inside my room
I hold back the tear that I'll never let you see
Because I followed you
Just the way that you wanted me to
You reached out your hand and took hold
Then you let go
I've fallen in love with you
And it just burns
But what else can I do?
'Cos if you want me to
I'll lie about the the way it really feels
And if you want me to
I'll turn back around and forget the whole deal
But I wanted you
And I thought that you wanted me too
Sometimes signals get crossed
Sometimes feelings get lost
If you want me to
If you want me to
If you want me to
It's late at night about 12 and everyone is fast asleep
Just you and I are left now, and we both take a seat.
The mood around us changes, although we act as if it's not.
And we stare at the television, we glance at each other a lot.
I can feel my heart beat racing, I wonder if yours is too.
Cause all that I really want is a chance to touch you.
CHORUS:
So we stay up all night and talk a little longer.
We stay up all night and our friendship become[s] stronger.
We stay up all night and leave our daily lives behind.
It was so great.
Was that our first date?
Our first date.
We move to the same couch, just slightly separated.
We humor ourselves, with the feeling anticipated.
We exchange and try on each other's rings, just to brush over our hands.
The attraction that we're circling is so hard to withstand.
A new song I wrote I play to you I thought just to take up some time
But the word's design gave you a clue that I want to be yours and you mine.
Our first date.
I sleep all day
What makes me feel this way
When everything's a bust
When everything keeps losing my trust
Where do we begin with this unhappy ending?
Where do we begin after all that we've done?
And how do we begin to say, I forgive you?
And how do we begin to repair this family affair?
I think about the never ending way
That my day never seems to want to end
I think about the loneliness
Of losing a friend
Don't take it away from me
Don't take away the one love that matters
And I'll get well you'll see
You're all I have, you're my family
Is there ever enough love, ever enough?
Where do we begin pickin' up the pieces?
Where do we begin after all that's been said?
And how do we begin to say I still love you?
And how do we begin to repair this family affair?
Don't take it away from me
Don't take away the one love that matters
And we'll all get well, you'll see
'Cause we're all we have, we're family, family
Where do we begin?
Where do we begin?
Where is the laughter, where is the hopeful?
Where is that light that makes me sing?
Where is the courage, where is the faithful?
Where is that wind beneath my high wings?
I can?t get it back, my heart beat's flat
The color?s black, I don?t feel like I used to
When something?s that wrong, gotta make it right
When my day is so long, I gotta make it right
And I know that it?s got to be me that changes
And I know that it?s got to be me that makes it
'Cause I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
Could you give me an answer, could you give me a sign?
God, don?t let these monsters make up my mind
You know what I?m after
It?s gonna just take some time
I know that it?s got to be me that changes
And I know that it?s got to be me that makes it
'Cause I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe, I believe
(Where is the laughter, where is the hopeful?
Where is that light that makes me sing?)
I believe, I believe
(Where is the courage, where is the faithful?
Where is that wind beneath my wings?)
I believe
(I can?t get it back, my heart beat's flat)
In love
Everything changed, I don't feel the same
I'm standin' in the shower, I'm cryin'
It shouldn't be that hard, I've made it this far
Just wash away the tears, it keeps fallin'
I don't know why, I never take the time
To slow down, you're movin' too fast, nothin' will last
Everything changed, nobody to blame
Just put away my heart and stop tryin'
I don't know when I'll ever love again
Got to slow down, movin' too fast, nothin' will last
I don't know why, I never take the time
To slow down, movin' too fast, nothin' will last
You say you?re tired of this circus life
Tired of the freaks and the colored lights
Come on, come on the night is young
It?s too late to change your mind, you can?t turn back now
So high, so high just you and me and the big sky
Close the door and shut off the lights
At 6 o?clock we?ll be takin' flight
Hold on, hold on and then relax
Tell everyone we're gone and we won?t come back
So high, so high just you and me and the big sky
That?s all we are, that?s all we are, it?s all forever
That?s all we are, that?s all we are, it?s all forever
So you're tired of this crazy, crazy life
And no one can save you
How long, how long can this go on
You only get one chance and then you're gone
So high, so high just you and me and the big sky
It?s all right, it?s all right
So high, so high just you and me and the big sky
That?s all we are, that?s all we are, it?s all forever
That?s all we are, that?s all we are, it?s all forever
That?s all we are, that?s all we are, it?s all forever
That?s all we are, that?s all we are, it?s all forever
After all these years
I can still remember
The way you taste
The way you feel
After all these years
I?ve got my foot on the parking brake
Waiting for that song on the radio
To play out
Alive as an ember, burning inside
Just when you think it?s ended
It comes on bright, alone in the dark
I whisper your name, it?s calling me again
But I am with you now
We are dancing in the moonlight
You got me spinning around
I can feel everything
Driving me all away
Through the old time memory
Was it so wrong to say
That I wanted you again?
And I could take you back
And we could go down in the city
And get lost for hours
We won?t say anything
Memories start to fade
The moment the lights turn
There?s no one here
I?m drifting down the avenue
But I?m with you now
We are dancing in the moonlight
You got me spinning around
I let my guard down in the momentary lapse of emotion
And it just slipped out and we both knew my heart could be broken
And I said something I never intended to say
You stopped laughing and I said, "Do you feel alone in that way?"
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone, do you make it tragic?
If you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
I just stood there, I'd expected another reaction
Out of thin air came the strangest sense of satisfaction
Can you tell me how you see me so well?
If you help me, would you let me see that part of yourself?
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone, do you make it tragic?
When you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
Where do we go?
Do we say this means less than we know it does?
Please tell me
Do you trip on love? Do you run from magic?
When you kiss someone, do you make it tragic?
When you feel too much, do you start to panic?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
When the word comes up, do you trip on love?
Don't you wanna love me no more?
Speak easy when you speak of leavin' here
Try not to talk too loud, yeah
Take your time when you walk away from here
Try not to take too long, yeah
Sometimes this love feels just like a big wheel
It keeps turnin', turnin' down the avenue
Sometimes it goes up, sometimes we go down
Sometimes we just don't know what to feel
For our love is only perfect for a very short time
So I'll, I'll let you go
And I'll, I'll watch you fall
And I'll, I'll push you deeper than
You've ever been pushed before
For our love is only perfect
For a very short time
Said our love, it's only perfect
So come on throw another penny down the river bed
We'll see if it comes out shinin' and bright
Throw another penny down the river bed
We'll see if it comes out shinin' and bright
And I'll, I'll let you go
And I'll, I'll watch you fall
And I'll, I'll push you deeper than
You've ever been pushed before
Throw another penny down the river bed
See if it comes out shinin'
(You've ever been pushed before)
Throw another penny down the river bed
See if it comes out shinin'
Throw another penny down the river bed
See if it comes out shinin'
Throw another penny down the river bed
As fast as a river
As deep as an ocean roar
As big as a mountain
Full of emotion
I don't want to be strong anymore
I just want to lay here on the floor
Don't want to have to be brave all the time
I just need to rest for a while
Won't you take care of me
Could you hold me up? I keep falling
Won't you take care of me?
Could you dust me off ? I've been crawling
Can you feel it?
It's life, yeah
Can you feel it?
That's right
I can feel me falling into the sky
I'm blowing away in the wind
But we won't ever have to say goodbye
I'm just leaving this life that I'm in
Everything keeps opening
All these endings and beginnings
Make it stop
I don't want to be strong anymore
I just want to lay here on the floor
Don't want to have to be brave all the time
I just need to rest for a while
Won't you take care of me?
Could you hold me up? I keep falling
Won't you take care of me?
Could you dust me off ? I've been crawling
I can feel me falling into the sky
I'm blowing away in the wind
We won't ever have to say goodbye
I'm just leaving this life that I'm in
Can you feel it?
It's life
Can you feel it?
It's life
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
It's life
Can you feel it?
It's life
The rider rides with a clickety-click And the timer stops for a second or two You got your hands in your pockets, and you're lookin' ahead You got no time, you draw the fine line But look, see the juggler throws his sticks in the air He's got them angels from below, they'll keep his time He don't care You can't hold on to it or keep pushing away Ever true Time isn't after you Just sitting around in your wishing well Paint a wish for you, paint a wish for me just the same The poet throws her words in the air She's got them angels from below, they'll keep her words She don't care Ever true Speak to me in the way that you do And I could be taken back to the days of that old jacket Push me in your way, and you hold me down You hold me, hold me, hold me We don't care I kinda like that. The lightning pushes on through the air We've got those angels from below, they'll keep our time Ever true You got no time Time's tickin' away You draw that fine line Between you and me
One thing I never can get
Can't put my fingers on it
Always forgetting my lines
One thing I never can get
Displacing logic in the memory banks of my mind
I find myself in the strangest places
My head's got a mind, said a mind of it's own
I find myself in the strangest places
I wake up I've been sleeping in somebody's shoes
This is the last of all my songs
Got to get, to get you in the back of the room
You're one thing I never can get
Can't put my fingers on it
Always forgetting my lines
I find myself in the strangest places
My head's got a mind, said a mind of it's own
I find myself in the strangest places
I wake up I've been sleeping in somebody's room
I find myself in the strangest places
My head's got a mind, said a mind of it's own
I find myself in the strangest places
I wake up I've been sleeping in somebody's shoes
I find myself in the strangest places
My head's got a mind, said a mind of it's own
I find myself in the strangest places
I wake up I've been sleeping in somebody's shoes
I find myself in the strangest places
My head's got a mind, said a mind of it's own
I find myself in the strangest places
If I loved you, would you like that?
Would you have me on my front or on my back?
I used to like that.
If I trust you would it matter
Would you care more if I showed you what I hide?
And let you inside.
Please don't ask me cause it's not you.
The careless things I say and do
That cause this stress
But this is someone else's mess
Can I kiss you, can I try to make you laugh?
Can I have you on my floor or in my bath
I used to like that.
Please don't ask me cause it's not you.
The careless things I say and do
That cause this stress
But this is someone else's mess
Someone else's mess
Someone else's
Someone else's
Someone else's mess
If I loved you would you like that?
Would you have me on my front or on my back?
I used to like that, yeah.
I used to like that, yeah.
When the past won't let you, leave behind all your yesterday
Remember times when you never could find that perfect word to say
Now your mind won't forget him,and the latest song just brings you down, down...
Remember your boy from the neighborhood, that sidewalk-smiling run around
You don't know why you're crying, and you don't know why you're dying inside
It seems the past won't let you ever fall in love again
It's time you let him go, for somebody that cares
Does he say he loves you, and does he play to win?
And does he leave a light on, when you're late getting in?
Now you can't keep leaving, trying to run from your feelings again
It seems your mind won't forget that undecided love affair
It's time you let him go, let him go, let him go, for somebody that cares
Does he say he loves you, and does he play to win?
Does he leave the light on when you're late getting in?
I wanna sing
Sing to your eyes where they once held windows
When you're lookin' at me
I wanna hear
Hear all the sounds and the cracks in your voice
When you speak to me.
Look at my eyes and my nose and my fingertips
I'm lookin' so much like you.
Look at the way that I switch my walk, mama
I'm walkin' like you used to do.
What about tomorrow?
You won't be there to watch me bleed.
What about all the yesterdays
And all the times that I was hoping that you'd come back to me.
Mama sing
Sing to me
I know you're out there
What about tomorrow?
You won't be there so I can make you proud.
What about all the yesterdays
And all the times I was hoping that you could sing out loud
Sing with me

Let's do it for love, let's do it just this once.
There's a million reasons why we do the things that we think we have to do.
Wouldn't this world be a better place if we saw the truth.
They could keep all their money and we could burn all our mastercards.

Ok I win, you've finally lost me
You're letting me go, I'm walking away
No fight, no fight still falling apart
I can't get you out of my heart
All right, all right I lied about loving
A man that I love, a love I won't have
And it's true, it's true I'm falling apart
And I can't get you out of my heart
Kiss me under the table
And make believe in love
And dream with me under the table
It makes me feel, it makes me feel alive
Something is filling my heart full of secrets
Something is filling my heart full of lies
Something is taking my lover for granted
Something is making me cry
Kiss me under the table
And make believe in love
And dream with me under the table
It makes me feel, it makes me feel alive
And in my heart, I can't get you out of my heart
Ok I win, you've finally lost me
You're letting me go, I'm walking away
It's true, it's true, I'm falling apart
And I can't get you out of my heart
I've tried my damnedest to get near you My ears are bleeding trying to hear you I'm lost in the middle of a cold rain And you're forests away Every state I've ever been Has greeted me with a bad beginning To swing you my way I stand in the pathway of a fast train I look around and nobody cares I look around and nobody's there I look around and nobody's there But every night like an army on a foray I try to keep myself contained My thoughts do invade I watch TV ignore the pain I look around and nobody cares I look around and nobody's there I look around and nobody's there You don't believe that I've been through hell You don't believe that I feel alone Cause I'm pretty together and doing well I look around and nobody's there Cause the people that pass me say hello I look around and nobody cares I look around and nobody's there
So I'm a little left of center
I'm a little out of tune
Some say I'm paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
In a crazy, mixed-up world
I don't care what they're sayin'
As long as I'm your girl
Hey, you are on my side
And they, they just roll their eyes
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you get me
So what if I see the sunshine
In the pouring rain
Some people think I'm crazy
But you say it's okay
You've seen my secret garden
Where all of my flowers grow
In my imagination
Anything goes
I, I am all you want
They, they just read me wrong
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and hold my hand, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
Still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
'Cause you get me
Hey, you are on my side
They, they just roll their eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
When none of the pieces fit
You make sense of it
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still I want you all the time
Yeah, I do
'Cause you get me
Hey, what's your name?
Do you live around here?
Don't I know your face?
You say I've been a stranger for too long.
And I didn't even notice I was gone
And I wanna come back home
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth I need to know
There's a million places I can go, but without you it ain't home.
Please say
What I need to hear you say
Say I'm thoughtless and foolish
But say it's not too late
Now I don't know exactly where we go from here
Trying is the only way we'll know
And I wanna come back home
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth I need to know
There's a million places I can go, but without you it ain't
It ain't hopeless please believe me.
Don't give up cause we're halfway there
We're at the crossroads in the middle
Between hope between despair
All we need is some direction
Let me know you're there for me
Where you are is where I'll be
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth I need to know
There's a million places I can go but without you it ain't home
See, I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got this four leaf clover
It's gotta bring a little luck
Yeah, uh huh
Yeah, uh huh
So I let go of all of the big deals
I let go of the bitter dream
You see the girl in the pretty white picture
Well it's never what it really seems
Yeah, uh huh
Yeah, uh huh
My mind is always racing
and my body's on overload
You've got my heart in the middle of a feeling
I've got no place to go
Yeah, uh huh
See, I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got a four leaf clover
It's gotta bring a little luck
I'm running but I've got nowhere to be
But I'm alright
I'm running, it's got the best of me
But it's alright
See, I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got a four leaf clover
It's gotta bring a little luck
Said I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got a four leaf clover
It's gotta bring a little luck
See, I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got a four leaf clover
Dream Time
Abra Moore
In dream time
I sleep a thousand years
A thousand clouds
Pass through my eyes
Making sunlight disappear
In dream time
I cross to the other side
Cross the fields of gravity
Where angels like to fly
hey hey
I know you and you
hey hey hey
Closer
I'm getting so much closer
To the fall
Thats how i sleep at night
Between the pillows and the floor boards
Across to the other side
Along the spinning wheels of yesterdays
Where memories sometimes collide
In dream time
I will sleep a thousand years
A thousand clouds
Pass through my eyes
Making sunlight disappear
Closer
I'm getting so much closer
To the fall
Closer
To the fall
Closer
To the fall
Thats how i sleep at night
A thousand clouds
And a thousand clouds
A thousand crows pull out my hair
Casting shadows upon my wall
For you are so beautiful
And you are so wild
And you are so young
Could you stay the way you are?
You don?t have to carry
This world on your shoulders
This life can be scary
But when you get older
Well, I don?t have no magic map
To help guide you along your path
I just wish you
All the best in this world
For you are so beautiful
And you are so wild
And you are so young
Could you keep it in your heart?
And there you are
You?re way above the rafters
I?m coming after you, yeah
I pull you back
But you keep crawling back for more
You keep crawling back for more
Go get your life
It?s out there calling to you
Yeah, you got the light
For you are so beautiful
And you are so wild
And you are so young
You just stay the way you are, yeah
All I want is you
All I need is you
Liar, liar in my bed
You're filling up my pretty, pretty head
You're telling me things that I want to hear
I'm enraptured
Fire, fire in my heart
You're tearing me, you're tearing me, you're tearing me apart
Show me things that I want to feel
I'll be captured
This road's got to end soon
See it's taking the better part of me, part of me
Fire, fire in my heart
It's tearing me, it's tearing me, it's tearing me apart
Telling me things that I want to hear
You've got me tellin' till my mind is set a reelin'
I don't need some picture-framed photograph
To save me when it keeps coming back to this
All I want is you
You know it, you know it
All I need is you
My heart's a reelin' and you don't know what I'm feelin'
And I don't need some picture-framed photograph
To save me when it keeps coming back to this
All I want is you
You know it, you know it
All I need is you
Won't you give it
All I want is you
(Won't you give it)
(Come on give it)
All I need is you
(Won't you give it to me)
(Come on give it)
All I want is you
(Won't you give it)
(Won't you give it, come on)
All I need is you
(You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it)
(It's all I want)
