I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love But to you I gave my affection right from the start I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart Yet still you get my attention
Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone Make me lie when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool You make me stay when I should not Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by But I mean to see you And I mean to hold you, tightly
Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep This old love has me bound but the new love cuts deep If I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall And I need you, and you
Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone Make me lie when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool You make me stay when I should not Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by But I mean to see you And I mean to hold you, tightly
When the morning comes Like shifting sands In a desert storm Like a raging fire Heats up the big sky baby Your love is pure and strong Chained to your heart I surrender Here's where I belong
And If I get emotional and I'm restless You’re like a soothing ray of light Bring to me to my senses in a heart beat darling Hold me tender in the night
Tell me what miracles are made of Like the sweet soft morning dew How can I ever show you baby How can I prove it all to you
That I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love
I get so mixed up and tongue tied I can hardly say my name Bring to me to my senses in a heart beat darling Hold me tender in the night
Cos I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love
Never thought this would Never thought this would Never thought this would happen to me
Never thought this would Never thought this would Never thought this would happen to me
I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love

Those little imperfections Are what I love about you The scar on your arms In the shape of a heart Baby blue eyes And the smile of an angel Melt the snow from any mountain And make a madman sane He won’t ever complain
In the everglades In the backyard lit by fairy lights With garlands let us walk By the water's edge let's dance Let’s dance, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance You lead, I'll follow And if I stumble Catch me Before I fall
I know where we’ve come from I know the road we’ve travelled to get here We’ve seen some tragedies along the way When folks want to exchange places Just walk a few steps in these shoes Sometimes they hurt cost they’re too tight It ain’t always easy being me It ain’t always easy being me
Those little imperfections Are what I love about you The scar on your arms In the shape of a heart Baby blue eyes And the smile of an angel Melt the snow from any mountain And make a madman sane He won’t ever complain

Watch the rain gently fall Like the tears running down my face Watch the rain gently fall Like the tears running down my face
Sometimes it feel like the sky' is violence Sometimes it feels like nobody hears Sometimes it fells like I'm on an empty highway And I'm on a road to nowhere I'm on a road to nowhere
As I watch the street lights flicker Like the dying embers of your affection As I watch the street lights flicker Like the dying embers of your affection
Sometimes it feels like we never kissed I've got no interest in the push and pull of the tides Who cares if the world stops spinning Cos I'm a lonely number Yeah I'm a lonely number
As I lay me down to sleep All the little birds and the bees That would sing to all the lovers They just pass me by Yeah yeah yeah
Even in my dreams Vivid colours turn to a grey scale Even in my dreams Vivid colours turn to a grey scale
And I turn to you and I ask How can I make things better And you say You say it's gone It's gone, it’s gone, it's over And I stand outside in just my underwear And I watch the gentle rain fall Yeah watch the gentle rain fall Yeah I watch the gentle rain fall down
I was born on an Island St. Kitts In a little biddy town Had a mama and a papa Four brothers and a sister
Mama papa told us Play hard Fight fair Live life And love the Lord I said love the Lord Said love the Lord
Their choice was The United Kingdom Living in Birmingham When they wanted to spread their wings And fly away
Seven people in one room No heat One wage And bills to pay I said bills to pay Gotta pay those bills
Now when you're walking on heaven's floor Talking in the ear of God What you gonna say to the man When he asks you what you've done
Can you say you did your very best With what you had Like my mama and my papa
I know two people who served up love And a whole lot more They made us hold our sides with laughter all night long Oh they made us laugh Until we cried Till we begged them stop Or we'll split our sides
Now when you're walking on heaven's floor Talking in the ear of God What you gonna say to the man When he asks you what you've done
Can you say you did your very best With what you had Like my mama and my papa
I swear you were not my ambition A cooling aid was on my mind I walked up to the bar and I ordered Then I took my ice outside I sat down under the hot sun I looked around at this new land And then oh Cool Blue Long dark You stole my heart Stole my heart
I woke up first light next morning And I took a tram to the Leidse Plein I hired a bike and I drove around for hours I was searching for those dark eyes I made a stop at the Blue Note I passed up a chance for some good fun Cause of you Cool Blue Long dark You stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart
Stole my heart
I made a stop at the Blue Note Passed up a chance for some good fun Looking for you, Cool Blue Looking for you Long dark Cool blue Looking for you, Cool Blue Looking For You, Cool Blue You stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart
I'm looking for you You stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart Stole my heart
I sat down under the hot sun You stole my heart I'm looking for you Looking for you Looking for you, Cool Blue
Travel so far I've got to get myself back Move so far from you And you so true Well let me get myself back Never gonna wander again Travel so far Well let me get myself back
Was seeing the old moon Walking past my door He had freedom eyes His home was the skies And he beckoned me to his side He said come let's, let's go Freedom road Just you and me Bring the sun If you feel You need some warm company
Travel so far Well let me get myself back Move so close to you And you're still true It's good to have you smile back Get back, get back, get back I'll let you lead the way I'm never going to wander again
Don't say You stopped loving me 'Cos there by your side Should be no one but me Don't say You stopped loving me 'Cos there by your side I've travelled so far to be Get back, get back, get back
Was feeling how your body moved Watching the leaves blow in the trees Then I thought of your touch And that reminds me of your kiss And I almost drove myself insane
Don't say You stopped loving me Thinkin up as I go How you're gonna Outshine sun and moon Don't say You stopped loving me 'Cos there by your side Should be no one but me Should be no one but me Should be no one but me Should be no one but me
Let me sail To the depths of your soul Let me anchor as near as I can be To your shore I'm coming into dry land Been a long time at sea And the season of loving Has long awaited me
Tides and waves have kept me Kept me going I'm longing for the calm I'm heading for the pastures I can see on your dry land Let the sea that once did take me Bring me back safe to your door For I long to touch the dry land Of your shore
Clear back to land I'm rowing Clear the decks Let me touch your soul Maybe I'll bring you back a gift of love I'll promise you so much more
Clear back to land I'm rowing Clear the deck Let me touch your soul Maybe I'll bring you back a gift of love And I'll promise you so much more
Let me sail To the depths of your soul Let me anchor as near as I can be To your shore I'm coming into dry land I've been a long time at sea And the season of loving Has long awaited me

Clear back to land I'm rowing Clear the deck Let me touch your soul Maybe I'll bring you back a gift And I'll promise you so much more
Oh the feeling When you're reeling You step lightly thinking you're number one Yown to zero with a word Leaving For another one Now you walk with your feet Back on the ground Down to the ground Down to the ground Down to the ground Down to the ground Brand new dandy First class scene stealer Walks through the crowd and takes your man Sends you rushing to the mirror Brush your eyebrows and say There's more beauty in you than anyone Oh remember who walked the warm sands beside you Moored to your heel Let the waves come a rushing in She'll take the worry from your head But then again She put trouble in your heart instead Then you'll fall Down to the ground Down to the ground You'll know heartache Still more crying When you're thinking of your mother's only son Take to your bed You say there's peace in sleep But you'll dream of love instead Oh the heartache you'll find Can bring more pain than a blistering sun But oh when you fall Oh when you fall Fall at my door...
