Mary Black - Full Tide (2005) by Mary Black (보컬) on maniadb.com

Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you strum,
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

Struck by the sounds before the sun,
I knew the night had gone.
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you strum,
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

The ocean wild like an organ played,
The seaweed's wove its strands.
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands.

I stood unwound beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws.
The crying rain like a trumpet sang
And asked for no applause.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you strum,
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast.
The branches bare like a banjo played
To the winds that listened best.

I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched its winding strum.
The water smooth ran like a hymn
And like a harp did hum.

Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you strum,
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.

How can I say what I feel?
When I turn around you're not here
I know it's my time to lead
But the emptiness inside leaves me weak

Chorus
So now I see now you've been freed
You'll always be near like you were all those years
And now I breathe the life you gave
'Cause I've learned from the best
And I've always been blessed with your love

We gathered round for your last breath
Talked with you while you slept
Somehow I know you'll be all right
The perfect end to a perfect life

Then in a moment it all becomes so clear
I want so much to tell you
But you're no longer here

Chorus

So now I see now you've been freed
That you'll always be near like you were all those years
And now I breathe the life you leave
'Cause I've learned from the best
And I've always been blessed with your love

As I walked out one evening
To breathe the air and sooth my mind
I thought of friends and the home I had
And all those things I left behind oh...

A silent star shone on me
My eyes saw the far horizon
As if to pierce this veil of time
And escape this earthly prison oh...

Chorus
Will there come a time when the memories fade
And pass on with the long, long years?
When the ties no longer bind
Lord save me from this darkest fear
Don't let me come home a stranger
I couldn't stand to be a stranger

In this place so far from home
They know my name but they don't know me
They hear my voice; they see my face
But they can't lay no claim on me oh...

Chorus

As I walk this universe
I free my mind of time and space
I wander through the galaxy
But never do I find my place oh...

Chorus

Your hands are cold lover
Where have you been?
You don't need persuasion
You just need a sin
We can differ
Thought the hours of the night
That's no big thing
Ah but give me one embrace
And I'll stop all my talking

The real you is there to see
The real you is the one for me
All through this rocky ride
Lets do our bit in this full tide

Life gets so serious
There's no time to play
I don't want any blessing
'Cause I spy you headed my way
I could carve your name
Down on a stone
That's no big thing
Ah but when I see your face
There's no need for talking

The real you is there to see
The real you is the one for me
All through this rocky ride
Lets do our bit in this full tide

I was lost in a fog
Living in a world I never knew about
Now I'm standing in a place
And heaven's all around
The shadows have all washed out
Yeah the shadows have all washed out

Oh what paradise is this
The words of welcome on your lips
The stamp of certainty
In all your steps
You're here to save me from
This slow death

The real you is there to see
The real you is the one for me
All through this rocky ride
Lets do our bit in this full tide

The real you is there to see
The real you has the best for me
Gods loves even the poorest life
So let's do our bit in this full tide
In this full tide

I've been searching
Through other people's words
Looking for direction
I've been trying
To get into their worlds
Without satisfaction
So don't go changing
Your troubled mind again
You gotta make decisions
Don't go waiting
On middle ground when
It's not a safe position

Chorus
Though you've lost all you received
It's not what you got it's what you believe in
Though you've forgot all you need
You've got to stand up
For what you believe in

A lack of something
Is evident again
I feel I must explain
'Cause I feel nothing
But frustration and pain
That I can't contain

Chorus

Don't leave me behind
Out of sight is out of mind
Please don't let me stray
I know I'll be okay

So now I see
I've got to get off of this fence,
My mind's made up now
'Cause I feel free
And my soul can make amends
For all this doubt

Everybody else has gone
But you're still here with me
All the world is sleeping by and by
Through the windowpane
The frosted light is streaming in
Full moon sailing high across the sky
Tonight is like the night when we first met
I always knew I never would forget you

Come and hold me close
I miss you more than I can say
I can't imagine how I pass the time
Wondering if you'll ever know
How much you mean to me
I never dreamed there'd be a change of mind
Oh lover, this is where I want to stay
Maybe it could always be this way

Gentle music, rock away the sadnesses in me
Rock away my lonely yesterdays

I recall you said to me a long, long time ago
"Don't you lose direction in the crowd, I think you could"
But when I did you found me and I didn't even know
Hardly even knew you were around, and understood
I was reaching out each moment to be free
You were all those things I'd never be

Gentle music, rock away the sadnesses in me
Rock away my lonely yesterdays

Like pennies on the ocean
'Til no trace of them I see
'Til moonlight shows no ripples on the waves

And then the clear reflection will remain
Perhaps the same reflection of that same full moon

Full moon, full moon, full moon...

She roots out her best earrings with a comb
The ones that go with her rowdy red hair
Weaves her way between the plastic and the bones
Leaves all her empty evenings hanging in the air

And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl
He don't mind that she may soon say goodbye
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves
She's as straight as a die

She sees the men out changing the state
Knows they stoop through her eyes are half drowned
Hears the steeple say it's a quarter past eight
Moves on in a hurry well she's a long way from town

He don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl
He don't mind that she may soon make him cry
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves
She's as straight as a die

We won't get away from this either
No matter how hard we try
The truth is there to catch us
The truth is going to save our lives

He's in a thrill of anticipation
So glad he bought something small
To give her for a gift
He feels kind of silly
In case she thinks he's having her on
All he meant was
She's got a friend she can kiss

And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl
He don't mind that she soon has to fly
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves
She's as straight as a die

With your famous philosophies
Tied up in brown paper wrapping and string
You stepped back through time
Like the time that you stepped through
Meant nothing at all
A little bit weary and world worn and eager
For taking some more
And we leaned on each other like brothers
And fought with our backs to the wall

Chorus
We took no routine stance
We were living' our lives by chance
Robbing Peter for Paul
Losing it all
Maybe I'll find you one Saturday night
In St. Kilda again

We were wrong the world didn't end
Between there and here
Thought it's still looking shaky and worn
Did you give up your dreaming
Believing time finds a price for us all
But time is an enemy, patient and clever
And way beyond our control
When you run out of time
It's funny but money can't talk at all

Chorus

When the world turned rough
And betrayed your trust
And they left you out in the cold
In the deafening silence
A man is an island
When he's out on his own
A little bit weary and world worn
Not eager for talking anymore
Hey brother what happened
To standing and fighting
With our backs to the wall

Chorus

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
