Jonatha Brooke

A princess was invited to an island-
A king's castle in the sea
No one came to take her suitcase
She waited in the garden outside

The guests inside were dressed for the water
But the princess remained outside alone
And the king who had called her
His precious flower

Would not grant her a room of her own
She was young and frightened
By the glittering wealth, and she wondered
If she'd be allowed to stay...

But she slipped herself into the sea and
Swimming, naked, all the crystal,
Lovely, dancing waves were hers and
Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am always"

The king was angered by such indecency
He sent his soldiers to pull her out
Her foot met something sharp on the ocean floor
But still she did not want to leave

She saw the king, and she saw with him
That the island was not her home
She could not live her life
Like the rest of his court-

She needed a room of her own
But she slipped herself into the sea and
Swimming, naked, all the crystal,
Lovely, dancing waves were hers and

Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am...
Always, always, always, I am
Always, always, always, I am, always"
The castle still stands there on the island,

But the king and his court are alone
And his beautiful, precious flower
Has swum away to a room of her own
She slipped herself into the sea and

Swimming, naked, all the crystal,
Lovely, dancing waves were hers and
Whispered, "I am here, yes, I am...

Always, always, always, I am
Always, always, always, I am
Always, always, always, I am
Always, always, always, I am"

Annie, I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new
You can't keep living in one small room
When you never let anyone in
You never let anyone in

Annie, you think the whole world's been cruel
All the stars took advantage of you
Your mother was cold, your daddy'd no love
So you stomped your feet til they noticed
Stomped your feet til they put on the kid gloves

Now they're walking on eggshells, they're walking on glass
They sing you a lullaby each time you ask
Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go.

Annie, you think the boys never played fair
Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair
But wherever you run, it's yourself you face there
And he might be gone when you need him
He might be gone by the time you care

Now he's walking on eggshells, he's walking on glass
Sings you a lullaby each time you ask
Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go

But Annie, I love you, that's always been clear
It's the layers of history that won't let us hear
The twisted compassion that's burning our ears
The distance from there to here
The distance from there to here

'Cause I'm walking on eggshells, I'm walking on glass
We sing hallelujah each time that you pass
End Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go
'Cause you're gambling again and the stakes are too high
Your ante is fear, and my bet is desire
Took you far from the truth, and into the fire again

But Annie, I hope things line up for you
All in a row, shiny and new
You can't keep living in one small room
When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in, never let anyone in

I'd settle for less but I'd hold you accountable
Knock on your door but I wouldn't take "no" for a ride

A month in the country, a day by your side,
Two years in the forest, I can't see the trees if you hide

And if I forgot, could you make me remember
The piece of myself that I left winding by
It's on the top current of love's final breeze
There at the still point,
That's where I'll be

We would find hindsight at the edge of the world
Love at the end of indifference

We'd be the lovers that time could forget,
Distance would forge us, make us stronger in the end

And if you forgot, could I make you remember
The piece of yourself that you gave long ago
It's on the top current of love's final breeze
There at the still point,
That's where I'll be

At the still point, at the still point
At the still point of desire
At the still point, the still point
At the still point of desire
At the still point, at the still point
At the still point of desire

We'd be forever, a month in the country,
A day by your side, two years in the forest
A decade of hopeful, a terrible leap,
When it all comes out in the wash
I will love you
I will love you

At the still point, at the still point
At the still point of desire
At the still point, the still point
At the still point of desire
At the still point, at the still point
At the still point of desire
At the still point, at the still point
At the still point of desire...

I'm back in the circus
Back in the small town, big top
Backed up against the wall
And nothing's quite what I thought

I've got holes in my fishnets
Holes in my last alibi
And I can't remember
When it was that I last saw blue sky

And every town's the same
Only the names and faces change
On this rollercoaster ride, up and down
But I never get to the other side

Back in the circus
But at least I know the routine
Got back to back matinees,
Me and the drag-queens

We are queens of the funhouse
Kings of the real house of games
Yeah princes of darkness
And we're all on first name bases

And every man's the same
Only the times and places change
On this rollercoaster ride, up and down
But I never get to the other side

And all the pretty horses
And all the pretty men
Well they could not put this pretty heart
Back together again, O no

And every town's the same
Only the names and faces change
On this rollercoaster ride, up and down
But I never get to the other side

Every man's the same
Only the times and places change
On this rollercoaster ride, up and down
But I never get to the other side.

if i gave you the sky
if i laid down my life
would you believe me then?

if i promised to change
if i carried the blame
would you believe me then?

could you see it like me
and believe what i see
could you listen, and remember that i love you
only, because i told you, because i told you so.

if you told me you lied
but i stayed true and tried
would you believe me then?

and if your beauty was gone
but my love lingered on
would you believe me then?

could you see it like me
and believe what i see
could you listen and remember that i love you
only,
because i told you, because i told you so.

you take the wheel for now
i'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow,
for now

and when you mention my name
let this one thing remain,
my love,
believe me now.

I am trying to read your mind
We have stopped to smell the roses
I am trying not to lose mine
The roses or my mind

You are going to break my heart
I can see it in your eyes and I can
Feel it when the rain starts
Falling with my heart

I will watch the rain fall harder
I will stay and you will go
I won't beg and I won't barter
I won't say I told you so

Oh, oh

You are stringing me along
You'll pretend that you're not going
Try and comfort me but you're gone
And there's another song

And this is better after all
I will keep the holy sweater
Tend the roses when the leaves fall
It's better after all

I will watch the rain fall harder
I will stay and you will go
I won't beg and I won't barter
I won't say I told you so

Oh, oh

I am trying to read your mind
You are going to break my heart
You are stringing me along
And this is better after all
Yeah this is better after all
It's better after all

I am trying to read your mind
We have stopped to smell the roses
I am trying not to lose mine
The roses or my mind

You are going to break my heart
I can see it in your eyes and I can
Feel it when the rain starts
Falling with my heart

I will watch the rain fall harder
I will stay and you will go
I won't beg and I won't barter
I won't say I told you so

Oh, oh

You are stringing me along
You'll pretend that you're not going
Try and comfort me but you're gone
And there's another song

And this is better after all
I will keep the holy sweater
Tend the roses when the leaves fall
It's better after all

I will watch the rain fall harder
I will stay and you will go
I won't beg and I won't barter
I won't say I told you so

Oh, oh

I am trying to read your mind
You are going to break my heart
You are stringing me along
And this is better after all
Yeah this is better after all
It's better after all

It's as if we're tracing some familiar faultline
Running down the coast from you to me
Dark potential just beneath the surface,
All the worlds colliding in the tragedy

Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, only daughter
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter

Silence has become our only currency
You pay me and I'll be sure to pay you back
But step lightly 'til you've crossed the jagged border
'Cause the earth may shift beneath you, pull the rug out,
All your history keeping track

Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, only daughter
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter

I'll reel in my addictions in the face of your distress
Aches and pains all shelved and put aside
I'll jump to my conclusions, but I'll leap to your defense
And I'll wish I were the brave one as I breathe another lie

'Cause it runs in the family, it's coursing through our veins
It lingers and gets caught in our hearts
Running in the family, it's a little like insane
The trimmings and the trappings of the artist and the art

Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, only daughter
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter --

If it was any other year or any other life
But this one's mine to carry on now, yes, it's mine to carry on now
'Cause I will always disappoint you, is it vengeance or your pride
'Til you lose me like that trinket on your bracelet
Charming, charming

In the dream it's all a test that I face by myself
Lose the briefcase, lie at the airport, swallow the inky code
We'll all answer in the end in our temporary tongue
But for now, don't say anything, don't say anything
Charming, charming, charming charming

'Cause there, at the garden verge
I will pull you up in hope again
No more second thought
Will crowd you out of your desire
To be loved, not touched, to be
Blameless and ecstatic again
This is all there is, no knowledge is too much to bear in the end

And I want this more than anything and I want the damned red shoes
And I want to lead Dorothy back home
Here today, here tomorrow, here's the lay of the land
Here's my heart, here's my sorrow, I surrender
Charming, charming, charming, charming

'Cause there, at the garden verge
I will pull you up in hope again
No more second thought
Will crowd you out of your desire
To be loved, not touched, to be
Blameless and ecstatic again
This is all there is, no knowledge is too much to bear in the end.

I can tell, by the way you're pushing crumbs around the table
You're not listening to me
And you say, that you have come as far as you are able
But you're not far from the tree

And you say, you're OK, but you live your life like it's over
And you say, you're OK, but you live your life like it's over

In your dreams, all your passion is like liquid fire
You trail your fingers find the spark
And you see your face reflected in the silver spirals,
But then it burns down in the dark.

And you say, you're OK, but you live your life like it's over
And you say, you're OK, but you live your life like it's over

And all the things you ever tried to tell me,
Somehow don't apply to you
You're the one evading hope, side-stepping every inkling
That the good guy, the early bird, the one who tries, the one who tries Again
WINS

And you say you're ok, but you live your life like it's over
And you say, you're ok but you live your life like it's over....

Mother, mother, you're not listening any more
I am still the little boy with his height notched on the door
And it seems that my life has not turned out cut and dry
And it should have been love, love that showed you why

You cannot deny, you cannot deny me now

Father, father you are making a big mistake
I am not a shiny trophy, or another call that you forgot to make
And I have listened very closely to every word you have not tried
And it should have been love, love that showed you why

You cannot deny, you cannot deny me now

Oh my Lord, why's it taken you so long?
To give me grace and the dignity to right these wrongs
I will lead today, and I will follow you tomorrow
When the gloaming of my life, brings the promise of a peaceful night
And there's just one thing that I need to know

That you will not deny, you will not deny me now

I am digging deep, I am digging wide
Looking for clues, in the grand design
But no better, no better I'll never ever be
I f I can't keep what I find

Cuz I have lost so many things
And I have loved so foolishly
But oh, never no never have I walked this dark path
Or felt this troubled sleep

So can you make ends meet when they're tattered and frayed
Make peace with the things that you've done
Cuz the end has nothing to do with the means and the
Way that the battle's won

Cuz you try to talk me down
And I'm running all around
You try to make some sense of me
But there I am in pieces on the ground

And so I wander, so I lust
Ever wonder who to trust
Cuz there's no clear line from blindness to sight
No straight path from dust to dust

So can you make ends meet when they're tattered and frayed
Make peace with the things that you've done
When the end has nothing to do with the means and the
Way that the battle's won

And you try to talk me down
And I'm running all around
You try to make some sense of me
But there I am in pieces on the ground

So I am digging deep, I am digging wide
I can see true, when I see your eyes
And no better, no bettter I'll never ever be
Without love by my side

So this is how it feels to be happy, to find real true love
To be wanted, to be real
We throw away the rest of the past, every small broken thing
We find new things that will last

And everything's the same but my name
And I have everything I wanted
For a change I'm not ashamed
And I have everything I wanted

It's another gorgeous day in Miami, I am missing you
Can you hear me, are you real
Never home for long we are passing in our dreams at night
But we send signals we can feel

And everything's the same but my name
And I have everything I wanted
For a change, I'm not ashamed
And I have everything I wanted

We make do, we get by
We don't know how or why
We lose track, were we happy?
Would we take anything back? If we could,
Would we try?

And every single day I am grateful, I hold my heart in my hands
And I love you, this is real

'Cause everything's the same but my name
And I have everything I wanted
For a change I'm not ashamed
And I have everything I wanted

Not to blame, not ashamed, everything I wanted

So this is how it feels to be happy, to find real true love
To be wanted, to be real
We throw away the rest of the past, every small broken thing
We find new things that will last

And everything's the same but my name
And I have everything I wanted
For a change I'm not ashamed
And I have everything I wanted

It's another gorgeous day in Miami, I am missing you
Can you hear me, are you real
Never home for long we are passing in our dreams at night
But we send signals we can feel

And everything's the same but my name
And I have everything I wanted
For a change, I'm not ashamed
And I have everything I wanted

We make do, we get by
We don't know how or why
We lose track, were we happy?
Would we take anything back? If we could,
Would we try?

And every single day I am grateful, I hold my heart in my hands
And I love you, this is real

'Cause everything's the same but my name
And I have everything I wanted
For a change I'm not ashamed
And I have everything I wanted

Not to blame, not ashamed, everything I wanted

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

[Chorus:]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

[Chorus]

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now

Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now

Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now

'Cause you are there in my dreams and in my days
Like you've always been
I've got a river of kin, a footbridge of neighbors
The rest of my little world is
Full-fledged strangers, full-fledged strangers

But you think you know me
Think it's just a matter of time
'Til you make me see the depth of your sincerity
But I can't shake this

The way on is no longer clear
The bridge is out and the woods are dark and dear
And I could get lost for trying, all my fears in ambush on the way

'Cause they are there in my dreams and in my days
Like they've always been

I'm waiting and there's still no one to meet my train
I'm waiting and there's no one but myself to blame
I'm waiting and there's still no one to meet my train
Waiting, for you

Love is love ??it could have gone either way
'Cause it is also love that walks away
And I'll take one step back and pull the wool back over your eyes
And I'll walk on

'Cause you are there in my dreams and in my days
Like you've always been
I've got a river of kin, a footbridge of neighbors
The rest of my little world is
Full-fledged strangers, full-fledged strangers

I'm waiting and there's still no one to meet my train
I'm waiting and there's no one but myself to blame
I'm waiting and there's still no one to meet my train
Waiting.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world would show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you (2x)
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you

I don't think I ever really knew
I don't think I ever really saw
I don't think I ever really felt
I don't think I ever, ever

How deep is your love?

Room for two, fuel for thought
My new dress, stocking's caught
Kiss my mouth, taste my tears
Let them fall with all my fears
Talk to me, say my name
Hold me down, say it again
Rise for me like moon for sea
Rise for me like poem to pen

I don't think I ever really knew
I don't think I ever really saw
I don't think I ever really felt
I don't think I ever, ever

How deep is your love?

Stay with me precious wild
Stay with me, hold me awhile
Love me like a little child
Stay baby...
Let them talk in this cheap town
We will burn the old house down
Cuz I love you crazy, love you blind
Love you til the end of time

Room for two..... kiss my mouth
Room for two, fuel for thought
My new dress stocking's caught
I.... Room... Two.... Caught....Let them Talk

I don't think I ever... Kiss... Kiss my mouth
I don't think I.... Taste my tears
I don't think I ever.... Let them talk.... Hold me down.... Say my name
I don't think I..... How.... Deep... Think..... Talk...Tears....
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?

Everything that I held true has failed me
And nothing is as clear as it once seemed
You have told me who I am and what to do and where to go
I have listened and I' m trapped inside your dream

But I'll take it from here
I'll succeed or I will fail but I will decide
I'll take it from here
Catch my breath and count to ten and
Open my eyes...
Again

My father's plans my mother's fears
My own fine day
Are careening past my reach and my control
You can take your love and keep your money but
Not my will and not my way
At least every mistake will be my own

And I'll take it from here
I'll succeed or I will fail but I will decide
I'll take it from here
Catch my breath and count to ten and
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

I may not know right now but I will find my way
And I can't wait to see the city when it snows

I am not a child now
I can take care of myself
I mustn't let them down now
Mustn't let them see me cry
I'm fine I'm fine

I'm to tired to listen
I'm too old to believe
All these childish stories
There is no such thing as faith
trust and pixie dust
I try but it's to hard to believe
I try but I can't see what you see
I try I try I try

My whole world is changing
I don't know where to turn
I can't leave you baby
But I cant stay and watch
the sitting burn
Watch it burn
'Cause I try
but it's so hard to believe
I try but I can't see where you see
I try I try I try and try
To understand The distance in between
The love I feel The things i fear
I dearly say good dream
I can finally see it
Now I have to believe
All those precious stories
All the world is made of faith
And trust and pixie dust
So I'll try 'Cause I finally believe
I'll try 'Cause I see where you see
I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
To fly

In the gloaming, oh my darling
When the lights are soft and low
And the quiet shadows, falling,
Softly come and softly go
When the trees are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me and love me,
As you did once, long ago
In the gloaming, oh my darling
Think not bitterly of me
Though I passed away in silence
Left you lonely, set you free
For my heart was tossed with longing
What had been could never be
It was best to leave you thus, dear,
Best for you, and best for me
In the gloaming, oh my darling
When the lights are soft and low
Will you think of me, and love me
As you did once long ago

I never knew what enough was
Until I'd had more than my share
Then I let the darkness in
It was then I lost the dare
It was then I lost the day

There will be no prayers on your return
And there will be no party thrown
And you will find your inheritance
Is the silence that's grown
It is the seed that you've sown

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing

Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

There is no mystery to be revealed
And so we tell the truth and then run
I love you because I love you
And I did think that you were the one
But now I see who you've become

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing

Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

I never knew what enough was
Until I'd had more than my share
Then I let the darkness in
It was then I lost the dare
It was then I lost the day

There will be no prayers on your return
And there will be no party thrown
And you will find your inheritance
Is the silence that's grown
It is the seed that you've sown

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing

Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

There is no mystery to be revealed
And so we tell the truth and then run
I love you because I love you
And I did think that you were the one
But now I see who you've become

'Cause you were the one sure thing
The one sure thing

Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable
Inconsolable

All things being equal,
Her beauty was not her fault
And it was not her only advantage
Midst the feast and the novelty-
The manliness of his charms...
So was it really such a shock,
So much history in a kiss,
Besides, they both knew it was over
What do they have to worry about,
just privacy and pain
And the damage they've done

Is this all?
Can I go now?
Is this all?

So when you sleep do not dream
The dreams they weigh you down
When you carry them along with you
They will wrack your lovely body
Report back to your soul
All the sickening sweets of the afternoon
As we lose the last of innocence
Like some romantic notion
Buried by the fashion of disdain
You can make the world your apple
But take a bite before it sours
Or you can make the world your charm or your chain

Is this all?
Can I go now?
Is this all?

All things being equal,
Her beauty was not her fault
And it was not her only advantage
Midst the feast and the novelty-
The manliness of his charms...
So was it really such a shock,
So much history in a kiss,
Besides, they both knew it was over
What do they have to worry about,
just privacy and pain
And the damage they've done

Is this all?
Can I go now?
Is this all?

So when you sleep do not dream
The dreams they weigh you down
When you carry them along with you
They will wrack your lovely body
Report back to your soul
All the sickening sweets of the afternoon
As we lose the last of innocence
Like some romantic notion
Buried by the fashion of disdain
You can make the world your apple
But take a bite before it sours
Or you can make the world your charm or your chain

Is this all?
Can I go now?
Is this all?

Sour, sour grapes make bitter wine
And you're no funny Valentine
You take such pleasure in revenge
A perfect settled score
But it just whets your appetite for more

Listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say, anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
It won't matter when we're old
It matters now

Hopes worn down, you've got dreams rubbed thin
Threadbare, like the carpet that your mother dragged in
You break it now you own it,
Like original sin
But you cannot take it with you in the state you're in

Listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
I won't matter when we're old

It matters now, it mattered then
It matters how why or when
If at first you won't try
You've gotta try again

What price love, for how much pain
What a surprise, you pray for rain

Listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
It won't matter when we're old
It matters now

There never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now
There never was a love that I could not replace until now
Winter was hard, we came out with our hearts frozen through
Now we're holding our breath, and I'm trying to hold on to you

What was it that you wanted that I didn't understand
The Boomerang of expectation's back to bite the hand

I give my love to you
And you, you walk away too soon

A landmine doesn't take much to trigger the blast
You could feel along my faults and defenses at last
Someday you'll dismantle the colored wires
Yellow, green or red, is it love or desire

You can face me now or you can shrug and act surprised
Either way someday you'll see yourself reflected in my eyes

I give my love to you
And you, so brave, sing "heroes" when you're all alone
You balk at what you should have known,
You've got nothing to lose, but me

You lose me, love me, choose me

There never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now
There never was a love that I could not replace until now

But I, I give my love to you
And you, you walk away too soon
I, I give my love to you
And you, so brave,
Sing "Heroes" when you're all alone,
You balk at what you should've known
You've got nothing to lose, but me
You lose me, love me, choose me

> I give you love, but you won't take it.
You flip your collar as you leave.
Bicycles on cobble-stones.
A corner cafe' all alone.
They whipser, they whisper.

Don't let them take your love for granted.
Don't think that he's the only one.
There's more to love than keeping time.
More to reason than the rhyme, so listen, just listen.

Less than love is nothing, nothing is not enough.
And more than anything, I wish you love.
Less than love is nothing, and nothing is not enough.
And more than anything, I wish you love, wish you love.

'Cos there might be love around the corner.
These streets have seen it all before,
They've seen every up and down,
Every callous, lucky clown mistaken,
and a serenade.

'Cos less than love is nothing, and nothing is not enough. And more than than anything, I wish you love.
Less than love is nothing, nothing is not enough.
And more than anything,

I wish you will,
I wish you might,
I wish you were alone tonight,
I wish that I could leave the past behind,
For once I wish that love would last.

I wish you will,
I wish you might,
I wish you were alone tonight,
I wish that I could leave the past behind,
For once I wish that love could last.
'Cos nothing is not enough, and more than anything I wish you love.

Less the love is nothing, and nothing is not enough, and more than anything I wish you love.
(X2)

Less than love is nothing (X2)

I am walking past the sprinklers and the newly painted porches
And the lemonade stand girls on a suburban afternoon
I am leaving cuz I love you, I am leaving cuz I don't
And I am hoping you will follow, and I'm praying that you won't
Let me go

I am captive in your presence I will melt before your eyes
But I still crave your approval, and I'm helpless when you criticize, criticize

Cuz it's written on your body -- it's on the tip of your tongue
The look in your eyes, in the glare of the sun
The touch of your cold fingers, when you say goodbye
The way that you linger
The way that you lie

You saw me through the keyhole of a door that I kept locked
But I'd decorate the threshold just in case you knocked
What I might feel on the edges you will never come to know
And who I might be in the corners I will never ever ever ever show
Never show

Cuz it's written on my body -- it's on the tip of my tongue
The look in my eyes, in the glare of the sun


The touch of my cold fingers, when I say goodbye
The way that I linger
The way that I lie

Who said that love would linger who said that love would last
When we cannot seize the moment and we will not leave the past
I don't think I was afraid of you but how could I be sure
When with every altercation you were showing me the door
Well here I go, here I go, here I go...

Cuz it's written on our bodies -- it's on the tip of our tongues
The look in our eyes, in the glare of the sun
The touch of our cold fingers, when we say goodbye
The way that we linger
The way that we lie
The touch of your fingers
The look in your eyes
The way we accuse
The way we deny

I am walking past the sprinklers and the newly painted porches
And the lemonade stand girls on a suburban afternoon
I am leaving cuz I love you, I am leaving cuz I don't
And I am hoping you will follow, and I'm praying that you won't
Let me go

I am captive in your presence I will melt before your eyes
But I still crave your approval, and I'm helpless when you criticize, criticize

Cuz it's written on your body -- it's on the tip of your tongue
The look in your eyes, in the glare of the sun
The touch of your cold fingers, when you say goodbye
The way that you linger
The way that you lie

You saw me through the keyhole of a door that I kept locked
But I'd decorate the threshold just in case you knocked
What I might feel on the edges you will never come to know
And who I might be in the corners I will never ever ever ever show

There you are, bathed in bright light
All your friends have gone
You've had a great fright
But all the world's a stage

Don't be shy, take your place now
You know the show must go on
Despite how crazy this night feels

On your mark, watch your step, go
All your life led you here, so...

Say goodnight, Lullaby
Say goodnight, don't say why

Cuz there you are, bathed in bright light,
All your friends have gone
You've had a great fright
But all the world's a stage

I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna look for you
I know you'll be waiting there, 'cause it's a woman's trick
I'm gonna give you what you want, 'cause you've been asking
And I don't even want to know your name
But you'll remember mine
You will remember my name
You will remember my name
You will remember my name, my name
Like the nights in the movies, I'll be waiting
And the days in the heat of her vengeance
You'll know what I've wanted, what she wouldn't admit
I'll show her, I'll show the world, just what they asked for
And they'll remember my name
They will remember my name
They will remember my name
They will remember my name
And what you want most will elude you
What you want most will elude you
'Cause everything, before it changes, seems to be made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
In some strange way I'm preparing myself for you
I've been waiting all my life
But I won't give you what you want, I won't fight
I will live, and tell, and you will remember me, you'll remember my name
You will remember my name
You will remember my name
You will remember my name, my name
You'll try to hide me under the mattress, with all your other short sins
But I'll come back, the click in my spine
Will order our lives like a metronome
You can't shut it off
You can't shut it off
You can't shut it off
You can't shut it off
And what you want most will elude you
What you want most will elude you
'Cause everything, before it changes, seems to be made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
Made of gold
And like the river, you will remember my song
'Cause love is a heartbeat away from here

Shatter the plate now
Crush the glass
And all the things I've carried
I put them down at last

I keep my promise
Some days better than my heart
But like little paper valentines
This is where we start

Cuz you take me to the window, love
And you leave the light on
You take off my uniform
And say baby put this new dress
Baby put this new dress on

You pull me from my corner
You promise not to laugh
I'm afraid you'll see right through me
But I'm afraid that I will never get enough

Cuz you take me to the window, love
And you leave the light on
You take off my uniform
And say baby put this new dress
Baby put this new dress on

From your window I can see the endless ocean blue
From your window I can finally see that I love you
I love you

So take me to the window, love
And leave the light on
Come take off my uniform
And say baby put this new dress
Take me to the window, love
And leave the light on
Come take off my uniform
And say baby put this new dress
Baby put this new dress
Baby put this new dress on.....

If you could take shake back a thousand tears
You could take back the crosses in your fingers
You would know no better, better, better than me
We were meant to be together

Spinning freely, you could collide
And lesser free and only subtle
And the gift of union, crossbreath in this loveless life
Cause you could stay now
Cause we were meant to be together
And I still see your face
And I still wear that ring
And I will not lie
Its the hardest thing

I still love you
You dont want me
You dont want me
You dont want me

Bless me father, for I am not myself
Kiss me, my love, the right way
Cause youre all that glitters, glitters, glitters to my shame
We were meant to be together
Cause I still see your face
And I still hold that flame
And I will not lie
In that hopeless hour

I still love you
We were meant to be together
Meant to be together
Someday, someday, someday, someday...

It's that I leap and then I look
At all the chances that I took
Feel the air, miss the catch
Then I have to swing back

My timing's all wrong
And the ladder is gone
And all I can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
All I can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
And I can let go

I am not faint of heart
But I get weak in the knees
I am tired for the world
For the wind in the trees

But we'll still find the song
Though the ladder is gone
It's all we can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
Swing 'til it's all net below
And we can let go

And I'll still look you in the eye
It's the longest goodbye
I'll feel the air, make the catch
But I won't swing back
My timing is clear
And I'll never fear

I'll swing 'til there's no net below
Yeah, I'll swing 'til there's no net below

It's that I leap and then I look
At all the chances that I took
Feel the air, miss the catch
Then I have to swing back

My timing's all wrong
And the ladder is gone
And all I can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
All I can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
And I can let go

I am not faint of heart
But I get weak in the knees
I am tired for the world
For the wind in the trees

But we'll still find the song
Though the ladder is gone
It's all we can do, is
Swing 'til it's all net below
Swing 'til it's all net below
And we can let go

And I'll still look you in the eye
It's the longest goodbye
I'll feel the air, make the catch
But I won't swing back
My timing is clear
And I'll never fear

I'll swing 'til there's no net below
Yeah, I'll swing 'til there's no net below

it would take a wider net to drag that deep
through all the years
the years i beleived you
you'd be hard pressed to face back
of all the lies
and fears that decieved you
you say it doesnt matter now
angels nothing standing in your way
but you forgot to mention how you were done with me
its not your problem anymore
to be true to be kind to never walk away
and its true you were blind no matter what i would say
to you is there nothing sacred
to you

i will turn my back to the wind in your wake
to the cold shards of the life strewn behind you
your record scratched but these lines will break
through the drone of time till their meaning will find you
but you say it doesnt matter now
angels nothing standing in your way
did i forget to mention how im done with you
its not my problem anymore
to be true to be kind to never walk away
and its true you were blind no matter what i would say
to you is there nothing sacred
to you
to be true to be kind to never walk away
and its true you were blind no matter what i would say
to you is there nothing sacred
is there nothing sacred

Look at you, you're out of your mind again
It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake
And miss the boat at the same time

You've had bad luck, a tough draw, a rollercoaster stretch
On this rough road life
And every pretty promise taken back again

But you're a strong one, smart enough, not to blame
But not enough to make you feel alive
And there's nothing more that I could do to ease your pain

Look at you, you're out of your mind again
It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake
And miss the boat at the same time
Look at you, you're high as a kite again
It's nothing new, cuz you never try -- it's black and white
And make or break at the same time

Then one day you'll have enough, you'll take a look
And see love staring in your eyes
And nothing in the world could make you hesitate

Look at you, you're out of your mind again
It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake
And miss the boat at the same time

Cuz you're the life of the party 'til the lights go down
Can't keep still when there's no one else around
Your fingers shake and your mind won't quit
With all the reasons why you don't fit

Look at you, you're out of your mind again
It's nothing new -- you're one of a kind you take the cake
And miss the boat at the same time
Look at you, you're high as a kite again
It's nothing new, cuz you never try -- it's black and white
And make or break at the same time

Look at you
Look at you
Look at you....

L'allemand used to visit me in Paris, in ParisI remember the men, I remember the houses in ParisHis station nearby, I was his afternoonsWe didn't mind, we shared everything, everything, ParisHe'd come in looking for comfort, leave again looking to the left and the rightDid we see too much, say too littleStepping over every dark thingWould it all be true tomorrow?But he loves meFraming his face with my hands in the doorwayI try to decipher the friend from the foe in his eyesA man's skin will be blown back with time and confusion'Til it gathers by his ears in the same human shallows like sand at the seaDid he hear too much, say too littleCould any year recover what we lost in these?With the hum of the war in the run of the day, butI walk with my head held high and naked in the sunClaiming these streets for myselfI walk with my head held high and naked in the sunClaiming these streets for myself,AgainI am the unchanging narrative, I don't resolve neatlyAnd I am the unchained melody, the current of the need to surviveAnd I go on looking for comfort, I can no longer see to the left or the right, butI walk with my head held high and naked in the sunClaiming these streets for myselfI walk with my head held high and naked in the sunClaiming these streets for myself,Again.

I'll wear the red dress tonight
You will reel your heart in tight
You can have the upper hand and I'll pretend to understand
Why, it came to this

How it came from there to here
How we muddied what seemed clear
Were we just doomed from the start
Undermined by simple hearts
Why'd it come to this

[Chorus: ]
Come down in silence, come down in fear
Come down in pieces
Come down in tears

Well there are days when the light hits true
Days of him days of you
Nights of sweating, toss and turn
Nights I feel your cigarette burn
Why'd it come to this

As we take our places in this charade
If the sun's too hot, well then sit in the shade
Jury's still out so we make lemonade and say
Why'd it come to this

[Chorus: ]

Well, we all get what we deserve
I get him and you get her
Given the chance I still defer
And maybe we will always wonder
Why, it came to this

So I'll wear the red dress tonight
You will reel your heart in tight
I will have the upper hand and
You will finally understand
Why, it came to this (Repeat 3X)

I'll wear the red dress tonight
You will reel your heart in tight
You can have the upper hand and I'll pretend to understand
Why, it came to this

How it came from there to here
How we muddied what seemed clear
Were we just doomed from the start
Undermined by simple hearts
Why'd it come to this

[Chorus: ]
Come down in silence, come down in fear
Come down in pieces
Come down in tears

Well there are days when the light hits true
Days of him days of you
Nights of sweating, toss and turn
Nights I feel your cigarette burn
Why'd it come to this

As we take our places in this charade
If the sun's too hot, well then sit in the shade
Jury's still out so we make lemonade and say
Why'd it come to this

[Chorus: ]

Well, we all get what we deserve
I get him and you get her
Given the chance I still defer
And maybe we will always wonder
Why, it came to this

So I'll wear the red dress tonight
You will reel your heart in tight
I will have the upper hand and
You will finally understand
Why, it came to this (Repeat 3X)

We pinned the tail on Jonny Polanski
And asked mother may I, and she said I was it
And nothing mattered, nothing but the moment
Some days made perfect sense, some days never fit

But there was room in my heart for you
Room in my heart for you

We captured the flag in our own foreign countries
And took each other prisoner bit by bit
We take no prisoners now, in this sullen landscape
Just ask for forgiveness, and hang on to our wits

But there's room in my heart for you
Room in my heart for you

I am hard wired, fully detonated
You pull the pin and you can't put it back
It's a crash course, fully consummated
Cuz I was aimed from birth to break off from the pack

But there's room in my heart for you
Room in my heart for you

So here's what I keep, here's what I carry
The sweetest intentions, love in the remains
Here's what's strange, and what's extraordinary
Nothing changes, but nothing stays the same

And there's room in my heart for you
Room in my heart for you

So here's what I keep, here's what I carry
The sweetest of intentions, love in the remains
Here's what's strange, and what's extraordinary
Nothing ever changes, but nothing stays the same

Cuz I know your secrets, I have tasted their fruit
I have known the flash of her teeth in the dark
And you thought that I wouldn't notice, and you thought that I would not follow suit
Or the song in your soul or your heart......

Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me
'Cause I wander around and the world is so strange
I'm here on the ground and all of my dreams just fly away

Sally it's only September
But Sally we've both come a lifetime since May
And it's lines and it's rhymes that I can remember
But I always forget what I wanted to say

'Cause everything's changed, deep in my heart
Love's rearranged, where do I start, where do I start?

I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again

Sally you'll have another sweet baby
Sally I'll write another ten songs
And we'll keep looking back at the paths we've not taken
Both of us still wondering where we belong

'Cause everything's changed and so we start
Love comes again, and there go our hearts, there go our hearts

I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again

Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me.

Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me
'Cause I wander around and the world is so strange
I'm here on the ground and all of my dreams just fly away

Sally it's only September
But Sally we've both come a lifetime since May
And it's lines and it's rhymes that I can remember
But I always forget what I wanted to say

'Cause everything's changed, deep in my heart
Love's rearranged, where do I start, where do I start?

I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again

Sally you'll have another sweet baby
Sally I'll write another ten songs
And we'll keep looking back at the paths we've not taken
Both of us still wondering where we belong

I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again
I will, I can, I do, again

Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me.

If I'm sleeping with the light on
It means that you'll be back soon
If I'm walking on all the lines on my side of the street

I know it's for a reason, right comes before left
I know it's for a reason, up before down

There's an order to things
There's an order to things
There's an order to things, now that you're gone

If I'm sleeping with the light on
I'll record the false hope
And when the telephone rings out in the night and it's not you

I know it's for a reason, nothing lasts
I know it's for a reason, you come and you go

There's an order to things
There's an order to things
There's an order to things, now that you're gone

And it's hard not being a hero
And it's hard living in between
Here with the light on in the dark

> Where'd you get that dress?
Where'd you learn to walk like that?
Don't talk back
Tell me where you've been - maybe I don't want to know
Oh, Lord, why me?

You were so much, so much mine, now I reach for you
and I cannot find you
So much, so much mine, now I reach for you
and I cannot find you

So much mine
So much mine
So much mine

You know you've got my hands,
and you've got your father's eyes -
lovely, bold eyes
I know that it's not fair, but things aren't always what they
seem - and now I worry so -

Where you'll lay your head, where you'll sleep tonight,
Way up high, why, oh why can't I
Someone's pillow's cold, someone loved you so,
And bluebirds sang, "There's no place like home"
(They sang)

Where's the heart in me that made the one in you so cold,
Please don't go
'Cause I know where you got that dress, I know where you
learned to walk like that

'Cause you were so much, so much mine
now I reach for you
and I cannot find you
So much, so much mine
now I reach for you and I cannot find you

(Where you'll lay your head, where you'll sleep tonight,
Way up high, why, oh why can't I
Someone's pillow's cold, someone loved you so,
And bluebirds sang, "There's no place like home"
They sang)

So much mine
So much mine
So much mine
So much mine, so much mine

I bottled up my hope, before it got spread too thin
I threw it in the ocean and then I jumped right in
All my heroes disappeared just like deja vu
But I am a strong swimmer and I swam right into you

Now there's evidence I've been here, but no one knows how long
My change is in your pocket, and the whisper of my song
My clothes are in your closet and my books surround your bed
I wonder what you expected, and what you got instead,
What you got...

Cuz I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it

My friends all think they've lost me, my family's up in arms
But no one ever noticed 'til I sounded the alarm
There's danger in complacency and comfort in the fight
For the way that you whisper in the sweetness of the night
The sweetness of the night

Cuz I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it

Where there is ruin there is hope for treasure
Out of the ashes come comfort and pleasure
This is the love that no one can measure
I have you, I hold you
We are birds of a feather

I bottled up my hope, before it got spread too thin
I threw it in the ocean and then I jumped right in
All my heroes disappeared, just like deja vu
But I am a strong swimmer and I swam right into you

The steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it

I bottled up my hope, before it got spread too thin
I threw it in the ocean and then I jumped right in
All my heroes disappeared just like deja vu
But I am a strong swimmer and I swam right into you

Now there's evidence I've been here, but no one knows how long
My change is in your pocket, and the whisper of my song
My clothes are in your closet and my books surround your bed
I wonder what you expected, and what you got instead,
What you got...

Cuz I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it

My friends all think they've lost me, my family's up in arms
But no one ever noticed 'til I sounded the alarm
There's danger in complacency and comfort in the fight
For the way that you whisper in the sweetness of the night
The sweetness of the night

Cuz I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it

Where there is ruin there is hope for treasure
Out of the ashes come comfort and pleasure
This is the love that no one can measure
I have you, I hold you
We are birds of a feather

I bottled up my hope, before it got spread too thin
I threw it in the ocean and then I jumped right in
All my heroes disappeared, just like deja vu
But I am a strong swimmer and I swam right into you

The steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it
I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see
And I like it, I like it, I like it

If I knew what I was after, I'd remember where I'd been
If I was sure of something better, I'd go, I'd go
But I am just another picture, and I watch myself like you
I imagine what you're thinking,
I know, I know

Ten cent wings, I'll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings tried and true
Orbiting like satellites I'll sail away with you

I will love across the borders, I will wait until it's dark
I will fly and you'll be with me, my wings, your heart
Then our memory may fail us, and our language will go too
But the shooting stars will catch our
Celestial view

Ten cent wings, I'll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings, tried and true
Orbiting like satellites I'll sail away with you

But I'll never tell, I'll never say, I'll never be that brave

Ten cent wings, I'll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings tried and true
In another life you are with me, and I'm with you
Ten cent wings, I'll take two
Pin them to my sweater and I'll sail above the blue
Ten cent wings, tried and true
In another life you are with me and I'm with you

I am walking in your shoes
For just a mile or two
My heals are all torn
But I will dig them in for you

I feel the pain you've known
And the seeds of hate you've sown
They're scattered on the grownd and I can barely step around
Insanity and pain
The things you will not name
Growing in the feilds
Spinning with the wheels

And wind of time and whimsy
Your excuses and your flimsy lies
I'm running out of faith
I'm tired of saving face
And where the hell is grace
I didn't ask for second place

I am picking through the weeds
And I'm falling to my knees
And this is where I'll leave your shoes
And step away from these
Insanity and pain
Who will take the blame

Beyond your will and whimsy
No excuses no more flimsy lies
I'm running out of faith
I'm tired of saving face
And where the hell is grace
I didnt ask for second place
I'm running out of faith
I'm tired of saving face
And where the hell is grace
I didnt ask for second place

Every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the warAnd every morning it upstages all my favorite shows--Donahue, Hogan's Heroes(chorus:)It's the American way, the new world orderWe hold these truths to be self-evidentIn the American day, you must give and I shall take,And I will tell you what is moral and what's justBecause I want, because I will, because I can, so will I killEvery morning I get up and I raise the flag,Salute the monument of those who gave their livesAnd I guess war's OK, it's just a little inconvenient, but it's betterThan a video game...it's better than the movies(chorus)Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will I killAnd every morning I get up and I watch the war, watch the warAnd every morning it upstages everything I know...(chorus)Because I want, because I will, because I can, so will IBecause I want, because I will, because I can, so will IBecause I want, because I will, because I can, so will I

<i>Lyrics &copy; Universal Music Publishing Group</i>

I'm retravelling this lifeline that's so close to home
We are on our way to West Point
Where your perfect, blond cousin will throw his hat up in the air
And we will watch it fall

And I'm still the girl that loved you
When your eyes were open wide
I'm still the girl that wandered on and I'm still the girl that lied
'Cause when I'd tell the truth, you would run and hide

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink
I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed
I can't help myself

You'll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotel
And you'll want to tell me something
Just like every other time
And our hopes will rise,
And we'll watch them fall

You're still written in my days, all the pages coming back to me
I will carry you along, singing discreetly
Old raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wife
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die here and nobody know

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink
I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed
I can't help myself
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die...here.

I'm retravelling this lifeline that's so close to home
We are on our way to West Point
Where your perfect, blond cousin will throw his hat up in the air
And we will watch it fall

And I'm still the girl that loved you
When your eyes were open wide
I'm still the girl that wandered on and I'm still the girl that lied
'Cause when I'd tell the truth, you would run and hide

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink
I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed
I can't help myself

You'll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotel
And you'll want to tell me something
Just like every other time
And our hopes will rise,
And we'll watch them fall

You're still written in my days, all the pages coming back to me
I will carry you along, singing discreetly
Old raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wife
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die here and nobody know

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink
I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed
I can't help myself
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die here and nobody know
Don't want to die...here.

You know the tricks of the trade
You can hit the soft spots at the center
Dish it out and take it back
Riding on the wave of your pompous ways
But I know that sooner or later
You'll have to wring your lovely hands in dismay
You'll go back to the board room
Add the numbers up and turn the page at the end of the day
Where were you at the bleakest of moments?
Where were you at the hint of success?
When through the window of opportunity came
The glimmer of a day in the sun
Glimmer of a day in the sun
You took the canvas of a life
Torn with the wind and the loss could still pull you along
Pocketing images one by one
Of the past, toward your future,
"A penny for your song"
Position memories carefully
You dust them off at holidays
Then you'll go back to the board room
And declare your passion for the new day
But where were you at the bleakest of moments?
Where were you at the hint of success?
When through the window of opportunity came
The glimmer of a day in the sun
Glimmer of a day in the sun
I don't think that it's me you've got in mind
Looks like the blind still bluffing the blind
Lead me on and lay me down
'Cause where were you?
Where were you at the bleakest of moments?
Where were you at the hint of success?
When through the window of opportunity came
The glimmer of a day in the sun
Glimmer of a day in the sun

Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Take me down to your house
Show me where you live
Room by room, all the things you cherish

Tell me where you're going
Show me where you've been
Year by year, all the things that you wished

And I'll give my love, give my love
Angel, I am here and I am.....yours.

Whisper me your secrets,
I won't tell a soul
One by one, I'll treasure every story

This is where our love goes
Circling back again
This is heaven's gift to us to tell it

And I'll give my love, give my love
Angel I am here and I am....yours

Tonight we'll speak the old words
Caress the silence
Tonight we'll tell the whole world where to go

I will walk the way in,
You'll take the journey out
Path across our hearts, eyes wide open

Room by room, year by year, one by one, say goodnight,

Love...
Love.
