Kayak - Close To The Fire (2005) by Kayak (보컬) on maniadb.com

When shadows fall
Over the valleys
Beneath the clouds that obscure the sun
Who can recall
A dream, once it's over
And everything's been said and done

If I could hold you in my arms just one more time
If I could simply take away the distance between our minds
Forget the sadness in your eyes
The bitterness and lies
No love can hold
When hearts grow cold

We find ourselves
Losing a treasure
We never knew we had - 'till it was gone

I still want to hold you in my arms just one more time
And simply kiss away the distance between our minds
Forget the sadness in your eyes
The secrets and the lies
No love can hold
When hearts grow cold

A voice in the night, a face on the wall
And a thousand candles burning
He tries to look away but he's losing control
He's feeling so alone

Floating away into places unknown
Being haunted by desire
Is he a master of fate or just a captive soul
That shivers to the bone

But it's all in the mind's eye
Don't cry - Just a trick of the light

It's only a dream, child
Awake in the night
Don't worry anymore, cause it will be alright

Seeing it all in the blink of an eye
That the world will soon be changing
As the two-faced man shows his evil side
In this barren future land

But it's all in the mind's eye
Don't cry - Just a trick of the night

It's only a dream, child
Awake in the night
Don't worry anymore, cause it will be alright

She holds you in her sweet embrace
Divine and fragrant, Intoxicating
The promise of life
Watching the world with an innocent soul
Moving so gently
As if dancing with God

She comes and wears a different dress
With the seasons changing, Colours cascading
In a fountain of light
Touches the heart but never is what you've seen
Or am I mistaken
Is she more than a dream
Withing a dream

Morning tells its cruel tale
The winds have changed, the tide is turning
Her breath becomes a dying gale
Her voice a lonely echo in our ears

She planned her trick, her foul deceit
We all knew the ending
The snake and the apple
Just two pawns in her game
No moral no choice
Between and sinner and saint
Ashes to ashes, Only leaving a name, A frozen flame

Any words to say you'll love me
Till the end of time
Don't mean much
Don't do much
Don't mean much at all

No words can reassure me
What I mean to you
Just a touch
Simple touch
Just a touch would do

You got me losing my mind
You got me wasting my time
You got me holding the line
I know I can't take it for granted

Forever
No-one really knows what it means
Almost obscene
Forever
Everytime we're lost for words
Seems an absurdity
Forever and ever...

Love or leave me, spare me all
About the way to go
No effect
Cheap effect
No effect at all

Temptation- should I stay
Or should I take the fall
No respect
I object
No respect at all

You got me losing control
You got me playing my role
You make me hide in my hole
I know I can't take it for granted

Forever
No-one really knows what it means
Almost obscene
Forever
Everytime we're lost for words
Seems an absurdity
Forever

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere I go
Nothing seems perpetual
The only cycle's rise and fall
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere I go
Forever and ever...

Face to face
Eye to eye
Soul to soul
Heart to heart

We talk like strangers talk
But I know you just don't hear a word I say
When we touch when we make love
I can feel your heart is miles and miles away

Is it my imagination
The fear of losing you
Oh love your passion is fading
There's nothing we can do

We're eye to eye
Heart to heart
But worlds apart

We still share the same brass bed
But our nights are getting colder every time
Gone the love that we once had
And we know we've lost it somewhere down the line

I wonder am I mistaken
Though the writing's on the wall
This crazy game that we're playing
While we're heading for a fall

When we're eye to eye
Heart to heart
But worlds apart

Can't find a cure nor remedy
But it's clear that any fool can see
That the ground beneath our feet is shaking
I thought I was the only one
Now I guess I'm just the lonely one
Only you can stop this heart from breaking
Remember it's all yours for the taking

Face to face
Eye to eye
Soul to soul
Heart to heart

Crusader
Tell me where you've been
Tell me were you're going
Invader
From a time unseen
You know they changed the rules

Who will listen to the things you say
When your words are only feathers in the wind

Crusader
No more good and bad
In this world of strangers
Don't wait now
Till there's no way back
To your world of fools

Who believes the mighty sword
When the truth appears like bullets from a gun
Where can you run

Who's ever gonna know your face
When you're only casting shadows on the wall
Who do you call

I could have said it doesn't matter
I could have said I didn't mind
And that we're free
Cause love is more than jealousy

But darling you and I know better
No use in saying all is fine
If only one mistake
Can lead us so astray

We've been dancing on a cloud
Afraid to be the odd one out
To stand alone in the night

Forget your foolish pride
He said
But she said
Two wrongs don't make a right

You could have said it wasn't easy
You could have told me little lies
Oh no, you made me pay
And that's a game that two can play

But inside my heart was freezing
No more tears to fill my eyes
I couldn't understand
I felt like going 'round the bend
We've been chasing crazy dreams
Only to find out what it means
To stand alone in the night

Forget your foolish pride
He said
But she said
Two wrongs don't make a right

I still want you near to me
My world is making no more sense
Why do I still want you here with me
Ooh, when your love tastes just like revenge

Times of sadness
Times of joy and times of gladness
Never lasting
Changing like the tides

Your love's an ocean
Rise and fall in constant motion
Brightly shining
And dark as moonless nights

I need you like the air I breathe to keep on living
I want you more than anything that life might be giving

Here today
But tell me you'll be here tomorrow
There's no way
Of knowing what you'll do

Come what may
Bring me pleasure, bring me sorrow
Here today I'm there for you

Our love's an ocean
Rise and fall in constant motion
Softly shining
Or bright as moonlit nights

I need you like the air I breathe to keep on living
I want you more than anything that life might be giving

Here today
But if you would be gone tomorrow
There's no way
Of telling what I'd do

Come what may
Don't go where I could never follow
Here today
My heart belongs to you

Making your way with no more delay
Attracted by the gold
Storming ahead and leave them for dead
All for one, and none for all

Don't just call it a day
Throwing chances away
What can I do, what can I say
Easy does it) don't you know that

It's just a matter of time
Just enough to step out of line, oh no
It's just a matter of years
Before oceans turn into tears, yeah
Could be a matter of days
Until love is changing its ways, oh no
Just a matter of time
For a fool to turn to crime

Targets are set, you're caught in a net
That will leave you scarred for life
Making ammends, forget common sense
By the time you have arrived

Don't just call it a day
Throwing chances away
What can I do, what can I say
(Easy does it) don't you know that

It's just a matter of time
Just enough to step out of line, oh no
It's just a matter of years
Before oceans turn into tears, yeah
Could be a matter of days
Until love is changing its ways, oh no
Just a matter of time
For a fool to turn to crime

Straight to the heart
That's where you'd like your words to go
If I were you, I'd be
Holding my own, holding my own

It's just a matter of time... etc

There's no denying how I feel
About this all consuming passion
Throughout the years there's hardly been
A single day
I didn't dream of having you around

You know we've danced this dance before
And tried to keep the fire burning
Whatever reasons may have caused
Our ways to part
You still control my heart
You were never lost
Just waiting to be found

Ruthless queen

With a quivering voice
You spoke the word
Shadow came between us
Sharp as a sword
Gone is my gladness
And vanished my pride
'Cause luck didn't stay on our side

Leaped in luxury
I cried for the moon
But the game is out
It all ended too soon
Awakening came as the belt from the blue
At last from a sheen to be true

CHORUS
Oh my ruthless queen
You would steal the treasure of my dream
It's the twinkle in your eyes
That took me by surprise
Oh my ruthless queen
I just can't accept our love has been

I bear you no malice
You show no remorse
Love is dead and gone
It was no endless source
Your sudden leave was the finishing stroke
Considering everything grow

CHORUS
Oh my ruthless queen
You would steal the treasure of my dream
It's the twinkle in your eyes
That took me by surprise
Oh my ruthless queen
I just can't accept our love has been

Pease don't tell me you couldn't care less
Well I feel like a ship in distress

Oh my ruthless queen
I just can't accept our love has been

(Japanese bonus track)

I know the prase: long time no see
That's not what I had in mind
Just as I banished you from my memory
You attacked from behind

Are you ignorant or isn't it clear
I don't want you around
Don't make me tell
Instead of bring me down

I'm looking right through your lies
Don't believe anything you say
It's about time you open your eyes
The price was too high to pay

It's been to long since I cried for love
It hasn't been easy, and times were tough
Too long since I died for love
I still remember, and I've had enough
Ooh I cried for love
Yes I cried for love

Let me tell you once and for all
It's no use hanging around
As you can see I regained total control
I won't be playing your clown

And while you're trying to find the weak spot in me
You forget about your own
Since I know where to look, it's easy to see
Why don't you leave me alone

I don't intend to fall once again
And believe anything you say
It's about time that you understand
The price was too high to pay

It's been to long since I cried for love
It hasn't been easy, and times were tough
Too long since I died for love
I still remember, and I've had enough

(Japanese bonus track)

I still remember the look in your eye
And how you used to tell me
That you'd say goodbye

Love lies
All for a reason
Love lies waiting for you
Love lies
Sweeter than words I believed to be true

I still remember the places we went
And how you used to tell me
That he'd understand

Love lies
All for a reason
Love lies waiting for you
Love lies
Sweeter than words I believed to be true

Gave you all my love but you let me on babe
Gave you all my heart, but you made me learn
Gave you all I had, getting just a promise in return

Feeling like a fool, like a silly dreamer
Should've read the signs, but I never did
Now you turn me down and you say you're sorry
And that's it

But baby I know
I've gotta let go

You may remember the things that I
And how I used to tell you, you were all that I had

Love lies
All for a reason
Love lies waiting for you
Love lies
Sweeter than words I believed to be true
