Bic Runga - Birds (2006) by Bic Runga (보컬) on maniadb.com

I want you when you are close to me
I want you never to be far
I know you have laid a trap for me
Yes, I know you, but not as who you are
Black on the ground, I am still as a stone
Whatever changed my love to despair
Light through the clouds trapped the scent of a soul
In a moment, my love, I am captured, captured
I want you when you are close to me
I want you never to be far
I know you have laid a trap for me
Yes, I know you, but not as who you are
Black on the ground, I am still as a stone
Whatever changed my love to despair
Light through the clouds trapped the scent of a soul
In a moment, my love, I am captured, captured

Whatever changes love to despair

In a moment, my love, I am captured, captured

Take your time
make peace with the day
Lying on the ground
and cold feet
And never mind
what people will say
Talking is thoughtless
and cheep
I only said it to be kind
I wont pretend to be nieve
And thoughts arrive like
leaves on the page
Trying and hoping to be
You and i like birds in a cage
Dreaming how once
we were free
The evening closes
on the wire
I saw you hiding in the eeves
Dont leave me hanging
all the while
A shadow underneath the trees
<interlude>
I only want you to be mine
I only want you to be free
If either on of us is right
It must be sealed
to be believed
<interlude>
I only want you to be mine
I only want you to be free

I met my darling last night
I've never seen him before
He put his warm hand in mine
There'll be no crying,On no more
And in a flutter of bees
And in a whisper of trees
I've never seen him before
There'll be no crying, no more
There is no rest for the wicked
No blues like before
Our spell's been lifted
Just like a baby born once more
On other side of the street
The flowers bloom where we meet
I've never seen him before
There'll be no crying no more
There'll be no crying no more

There is a love
There is a life that we share
Hand in glove
They won't separate us
Climb once again
Cast off your sorrows
The long night will end
Dance on the morning dew
Casting a line to you
Safe from a slinging arrow
Think of the love we knew
How it goes on
Five days of love
There is a scent in the air
Above & beyond
The one who named us
Climb once again
Cast off your sorrows
The long night will end
Won't get the best of you
Casting a line to you
Love is a winning arrow
Fire it straight and true to wherever you are

Casting a line to you
Love is a winning arrow
Fire it straight and true to wherever you are

If I had you
What in the world could be better
A crazy love that waits for you
Why must it wait forever
If I had you
Key to a hidden treasure
A ruby heart that hides from you
Don't hide for long
'Cos in the warm, warm night
Does nothing stir your cold, cold heart
There's not a thing that I couldn't do to belong
Oh, oh, oh darling, in the night
I ask the good Lord in Heaven
Please show me what love can do
I couldn't care for more
If I had you
What in the world could be better
A crazy love that waits for you
Why must it wait forever
If I had you
To be ever so close together
One safe love to shelter you
And tender loving arms

'Cause in the warm, warm night
Does nothing stir your cold, cold heart
There's not a thing that I couldn't do to belong
Oh, oh, oh darling, in the night
I ask the good Lord in Heaven
Please show me what love can do
I couldn't care for more
All what love can do
I couldn't care for more

All that love can do
I couldn't care for more

Moon glow
White light will bathe your pillow
Loneliness leaves no shadow
Where did you go?
Be cool now
Quietly up and leave you
Must I be your fool and lead you
How gracious we go
Love ends in a fire
Fire through the streets
Set them alive
Don't say your goodbyes
Say after me
I'll go my own way baby, yeah

It's a crying shame
To have only hopeless sorrow
To have no more days to borrow
The distance will grow
A new day
Out walking cold and endless
All to be stoned and painless
I'm lost in the snow
Love ends in a fire
Fire through the streets
Set them alive
Don't say your goodbyes
Say after me
I'll wish you well then baby, yeah

Raise to the ground
I'll burn you down
Before you go and break me
Burn like the sun
What has become
Of you and me
My baby, yeah

Raise to the ground
Love ends in a fire
Fire through the streets
Set them alive
Don't say your goodbyes
Say after me
I'll wish you well then baby, yeah

Listen, this stands to reason
short as a season in all you and i can be wrong,
when you walk in to the room like a song
this can be wrong.
Tender long as i living
i promise you this evening and it's moving me along
but the day i wait from you is too long
much much to long,
much much too long,
and i guess i say it playing
with one in the same oh yeah
in the face of all that's change
we'll stay the same oh yeah
Last time i was mistaken
my face was shaken my heart was never strong,
but the fear inside is already gone,
its already gone
its already gone
and i gess i say it playing
with one in the same oh yeah,
in the face of all that's change
we'll stay the same oh yeah...


and i gess i say it staight
with one in the same oh yeah
the face of things that change
we'll stay the same oh yeah...

It brings you down
It gets the better of you
She's not around
And yet it stays with you
Nobody told you it was a waste of time

You're heading home
Through all the streets you know
You're on your won
Don't wanna be alone
Nobody holds you tonight

That's alright
That's alright just
Take your time to find what it is you're looking for
That's alright
That's alright just
Hold it out a little more
You'll know when you start to fall

And though you say that it's OK with you
Although today has run away from you
I won't believe you tonight

That's alright
That's alright just
Take your time to find what it is you're looking for
That's alright
That's alright just
Hold it out a little more
Nothing matters more when you're in love, no
You're not in love, no
Not in love
You're not in love, no
You're not in love, no
Not in love
You're not in love
Not in love
You're not in love

Minute you wake from a bad day dream, alone,
as the bird play dawn.
A little chink from a reverie,
it pulls at my blue, blue heart.
Ooh la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
So you said you were leaving but
I don't feel a thing at all,
Til the ghost of your memory
beats drums down every hall
Ooh la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Find us down on memory street.
How long since you've been gone? (Already gone)
Like some forgotten dream,
pinned to my blue, blue heart (Already gone).

Something quite extraordinary
I don't feel a thing at all.
People come for miles to see the girl
with the blue, blue heart.
Ooh la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Find us down on memory street.
How long since you've been gone? (Already gone)
Like some forgotten dream,
pinned to my blue, blue heart (Already gone).
If I loved you endlessly how could we be wrong?
Where did we go wrong?

Something quite extraordinary
my soul jumped to a start.
Blood to the extremeties runs cold from my blue, blue heart.
Ooh la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

(Already gone)
If I loved you endlessly how could we be wrong?
Where did we go wrong?

The last that I saw
With eyes filled with rain
A waterfall of gold
It flickered on his face
Flickered on his face

He rode to the summit
And waited at the bridge
I waved him goodbye
He vanished over the ridge
Vanished over the ridge

My face to the heavens
I waited for a sign
But only cloudy demons
Were circling in the sky
Circling in the sky

I cried to the river
I cried to the rain
I begged the ruby night
To bring my love again
Bring my love again

The calling of the tune
The sowing of the sun
Into the ruby night
Again we will be one
Again we will be one

Everything that we make
has long been overrun
thought our love could be safe
but know now I was wrong

I tried and tried and tried again
cos honey now I had a long day in the sun

and baby now it's over
and nothing can be done
and nothing can be done

I cried and cried and cried again
I swore you were the one
but baby now it's over
and nothing can be done
and nothing can be done

so run and tell your mamma
and run and tell your friends
but baby now it's over
and this is where it ends

I cried and cried and cried again

Honey now it's over
and nothing can be done
and nothing can be done

Somewhere in the night your voice is miles away
Rendered from the dust it will be dust again
Spoken like a lullaby
Infinite as sky on sky
Somewhere in the night how sweet you sing for me
Tender as the smile that drifts across your face
Fleeting as the wind that passes on the plains
Never to be ball and chain
Never to be seen again
Somewhere in the night how sweet you sing for me
Oh you may ask but I won't say
Oh in the still of the cool day
Deep inside a dream I swore I was awake
Waking to the tune I hear your voice again
Lifted by a sudden breeze
Tangled in the cypress trees
Somewhere in the night how sweet you sing for me
Oh you may ask but I can't say
Oh in the still of the cool day
Ba da da da da da da da..
