B i o g r a p h y The sweetness of Heather Nova consumed the indie rock market throughout the 1990s, and into the new millennium she was a rising star across the globe. Born to a Canadian mother and a father from Bermuda, Heather Frith used singing and music as a means of entertainment during her childhood. She was born in her father's native land on July 6, 1967, and spent the next 16 years of her life aboard a 40-foot boat with her parents, brother, and sister. Her imagination was tested and music was her calling. She incessantly listened to taped records from her mother, later crafting her own songs by age eight. By 14, she was learning to play guitar and was a fan of Neil Young and Jimmy Cliff. Two years later, she and her family returned to the States, where Nova enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Performing Arts and began studying visual arts. One to be taken by a moving image and art itself, Nova shifted creativity into writing music, but music for films. A closet songwriter of sorts, Nova was quick to realize that she could mix her love for film and music for something solid. To make her dream come true, she moved to New York City and adopted her mother's maiden name. Time spent in the city that never sleeps was short-lived; Nova found herself at home in London by the late '80s and focused on songwriting. A self-titled EP was recorded under her given name, but later released by Rough Trade as These Walls in 1990. Nova was a budding artist and growing confident by the time she issued her first album, Glowstars, in 1993. Coffeehouse gigs across the country attributed to Nova's growth as a performer and Blow, a live effort, followed the same year. The president of Big Cat Records, Abbo, was taken by Nova's innocent lyrical beauty and made her an offer. Nova hooked up with Killing Joke's Youth for her proper global debut, 1994's Oyster. Oyster, which appeared on Sony/Work in the U.S., was dark and sultry, but raw and sexy. The single "Walk This World" was a hit in Europe and she went on to play nearly 300 gigs across the continent for the next two years. After a world tour, Nova returned to Bermuda for some down time. It was there that she reflected upon her life and composed songs for a third album. Siren would surface in 1998, showcasing a more calm and serene Nova. It was a surprise hit among critics and earthy, passionate songs such as "Heart & Shoulder" and "London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)" that were mainstays among college radio. Prior to the decade's end, Nova went back to Bermuda on December 31, 1999, for her first show ever. She performed Bob Marley's "One Love" and embarked on another journey, another decade. The years to come would prove prominent for Heather Nova. She was creatively in control of her own material and comfortable in her London home. Still England's sweetheart, Nova surfaced for a fourth album in the fall of 2001. South (V2 Records) was recorded while on vacation in Bermuda and the title itself was an homage to Nova's upbringing. The album was a chart-topper in the U.K. as was the single "The Virus of the Mind." In May 2002, American fans finally got a taste of Nova's new material when South was officially released the U.S. Several months later, Nova self-published a book of drawings and poems titled "the sorrowjoy." Her fifth album, Storm was released in 2003. |

Bare
I want to live where the sky is big
Simple and free
That's where I want to be
Simple and free
That's where I gotta be
Take my clothes off,
Be the one I am
In my own rhythm
Like the water
Simple and free
That's where I gotta be
Just living day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day
Like a cherry seed
Let me learn to bleed
Breaking open
Like the sun
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Why do I keep fucking up X3
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day
My fidelity
Is it something ritual
I'm caught in, can't break the spell?
Is it moving in my body
Is it biological?
I gotta hand it to you
You've got one heart ten times divided.
Did you cut yourself in pieces
To get them all inside?
You dream about her, can't you see?
She's only shining bright
'Cause she's so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.
I'm rocking in my bed
I can't talk can't think can't sleep.
And nothing's jumping fences,
I only count what I cannot keep.
I lick my wounds,
I chase my instinct, like a cat.
I don't know how I got so good
Or why my heart's a trap.
You dream about her, can't you see?
She's only shining bright
'Cause she's so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.
Why I love you, why I love you
Why I love you I don't know,
Why I love you, why I love you, why.
Taking sides with my enemy
Making love to my fidelity.
You dream about her, can't you see?
She's only shining bright
'Cause she's so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.
I'm landlocked, stuck in here,
I don't want to take my freedom.
I can't change what makes me high
And I can't change what I believe in.
I'm not pleasing no guru,
I'm not out to look for Jesus.
I'm not afraid to break the rules
It's just, one love keeps me breathing.
You dream about her, can't you see?
She's only shining bright
'Cause she's so out of reach.
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night,
Making love to my fidelity.
Why I love you, why I love you
Why I love you I don't know,
Why I love you, why I love you, why.
Taking sides with my enemy
Making love to my fidelity
Spirit in you
Under your skin there's something
beckoning,
There's something that makes me believe in you.
Behind your eyes, that's where the sacred lies,
You know I need to get through.
Oh here I go again.
Through the undergrowth again;
Feel the earth move, the planets spin
But I can't get through.
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
That I want to find.
I've seen your face, the one your mother made.
Now let me see what makes you really move.
I know you're scared, I know it's tender there,
Just let me closer let me get through.
O here I go again,
Through the undergrowth again,
Feel the earth move, the planets spin
But I can't get through.
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
That I want to find.
And when you make me feel
When you make me bleed,
My lucky stars fall down on me.
You know I need to know you,
I need to see,
I need to take ahold of what's underneath.
So close your eyes, close your eyes,
Unlock your mind, unlock your mind,
Throw off the fear, and let us fly.
O here I go again,
Through the undergrowth again;
Feel the earth move, the planets spin,
But I can't get through.
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
That I want to find.
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
It's the spirit in you,
That I want to find.
Shell
Look at me I'm smooth like a shell,
Put your head down
You can hear the ocean.
Hold my body - feel it roll,
So much inside and it's all been broken.
You know it's just one step out it could all be over,
You know this could rip us out at the seams.
I'm falling; it's all in your hands,
Don't let it wash away.
I'm aching; don't take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.
Look at me I'm out on the edge,
Put your hand here
See I'm bleeding.
I can't get it, get the light out
I can't seem to tear out the feeling.
You know it's just one step out it could all be over,
You know this could rip us out at the seams.
I'm falling; it's all in your hands,
Don't let it wash away.
I'm aching; don't take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.
I am a box, I am a fish, I am a trail, I keep you warm,
And I remember stripping down to meet the water,
Wading out to where the sky turns under,
My insides smooth like a shell,
Like a shell...
You know this could rip us out at the seams.
I'm falling; it's all in your hands,
Don't let it wash away.
I'm aching; don't take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.
I'm falling; it's all in your hands,
Don't let it wash away.
I'm aching; don't take it all away,
Breaking the shell again.
Look at me I'm smooth like a shell,
Put your head in
Hear the ocean, roll
Glow stars
Kiss me, Kiss me, under a glow-star
sky;
If they're stuck on the ceiling I don't mind.
It's a brittle world but it's soft inside
I'll make the milky way for you, only you
For you, only you.
And I will always ride far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.
Only you, with you, only you
Love me, love me, under a glow-star sky,
It's a galaxy when we get high
And sleep to the junkies' lullabies,
I close my eyes for you, only you
You, only you.
And I will always ride far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.
I touch your face, I'm flying over fields,
I touch this moment - it's mine.
I'm an angel, I'm a parasite,
I'm a vessel - I shine.
Kiss me, kiss me, under a glow-star sky,
We'll be pushing up soil someday, sometime,
So hold me now, hold me tight,
I'll make the milky way for you, only you,
For you, only you.
And I will always ride far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, far into the night with you.
And I will always ride, kiss me kiss me, far into the night with you,
And I will take my chances, kiss me kiss me, far into the night with you.
With you.
Ear to the
ground
I've been wondering,
Waiting for something to give,
I won't be a heroine,
I'm just looking for something to live by.
And there are lesions in the soil
And there pockets of pain where the shadows lie,
And there are voices in the ocean,
And there is something in the sky.
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you,
Look up, Look down,
Keep your ear to the ground.
It's washing over me,
It's spinning, it's spinning under me
And am I looking up at the angels
Or am I really looking up at the clouds floating by?
And when I say I'm listening
Why is it I only hear you when you cry?
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground X3
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground X6
Second skin
The bullet's deep, I'm not dreaming,
The blood I keep, while you're healing.
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Second skin.
You're riding high, you won't be falling
Don't look behind, I'm crawling.
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Oh you could have been born to swim,
You could have been born to camouflage.
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Does it pull ? A ring around your finger ?
Does it hurt ? And will it linger on ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you found your second skin, second wind ?
Have you have you have you have you X5
Mothertongue
I got my daddy's eyes
But you gave me your double vision,
I got my daddy's stride
Now I'm walking blind with double vision.
And I can almost see your face now, in me.
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.
You had to break the skin
To put the blood between us,
You did the dirty work
To put the blood between us.
And I can almost see your face now, in me.
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.
Oooh rocking the seed in me
Oooh learning to speak the mothertongue.
Sometimes between the lines
I crashed, I could've killed you
I tried to go too fast
And I crashed, I could've killed you.
And I can almost see your face now, in me
And I can almost feel the weight you carried.
Oooh rocking the seed in me
Oooh learning to speak the mothertongue.
But I can almost see your face now, in me
And I can almost feel the weight you carried
The mothertongue, the mothertongue.
All
the way
When birds fly they navigate by
stars,
These nights the walls come down,
These nights are ours.
This love is life, I want to stay,
I'll be beside you all the way.
All the way, all the way, all the way,
All the way, all the way, all the way.
Frontier
Sometimes I'm an indian
Caught only by the sky,
I can't go further
I'm going inside.
See it's like a ride
It turns you out in the night,
You're far from the road now,
But it's getting brighter.
If you don't believe it
Then loose yourself and feel it;
This is the bright frontier
Right now, right here;
This is the bright frontier
Right now, right here.
Taking hold of what we have,
It's easy now;
We're splitting it open
To eat the seeds.
Looking in at what we've found,
It's easy now;
This big horizon,
It's you and me.
If you don't believe it
Then loose yourself and feel it;
This is the bright frontier
Where the love runs free;
This is the bright frontier
The sky is the limit for you and me.
When you get to the top of something
Do you get that feeling?
Do you get that high?
When you get to the top of something
Do you get there, you want to jump off ?
Oh we're going to keep on stretching out
We're going to ride on.
If you don't believe it
Then loose yourself and feel it;
This is the bright frontier
Right now, right here;
Where the love runs free;
This is the bright frontier
The sky is the limit for you and me.
This is the bright frontier
Where the love runs free;
The sky is the limit for you and me.
Where the love runs free;
The sky is the limit for you and me.
This is the bright frontier.
Shaking
the doll
Oh I won't be your pretty baby,
I won't eat from your hand again.
And the man in the white says it's alright,
He says, come on girl give up the fight.
You'll go to sleep, there will be no pain.
Well I want to live with myself again.
Well, where we lived there was a lighthouse,
Throwing a white beam into our house,
Over my body when I was sleeping,
Over the secrets I was keeping,
I could tell myself there would be no pain,
But I have to live with myself again.
I'm digging up, I'm digging up,
I'm digging up, I'm digging up,
I'm digging up, I'm digging up,
I'm digging in the earth.
I'm looking for signs
And I'm shaking the dolls
And the fairy-tales lied
And somewhere, back there
I didn't understand,
Man and woman and woman and man.
And I'm shaking the dolls
I'm shaking the dolls.
Oooh, the dream isn't coming through,
I can't feel for you.
Well somewhere, back there
I didn't understand,
Man and woman and woman and man,
And I'm shaking the dolls
I'm shaking the dolls.
Oooh I have to live with myself again,
Oohh I want to be with my body again,
OoohYou can't make me hollow again.
Oooh, the dream isn't coming through
I can't feel for you.
Love, shooting up, through my veins,
I gotta get a hit again.
Talking to
strangers
I'm talking to strangers
To see what I feel,
Your face is changing now
And nothing seems real.
These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me;
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all.
I'm talking to strangers
To see what I need;
This love between us now,
How it's twisting in me.
I want to get it out,
I want to feel the breathing,
I want to really love,
I want to know the meaning,
I want to share all these things.
These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all
These things I know
Are like a baby how they grow in me
I pull them out
Just like a baby for you to see them all
*** Thanx a lot to Cassander from
Heathernova.net
for these lyrics ***
Walk
this world
I have slept beside the winter,
and the green is growing slow
I have watched you find the places hidden by the snow
I have tripped into a valley that is blue 'til you can see
I want you to come walk this world with me
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
I'm not touched but I'm aching to be
I want you to come walk this world with me
And I'm sucked in by the wonder and I'm fucked up by the lies
And I dig a hole to climb in and I build some wings to fly
And I think that I could love you 'cause you know how to be free
I want you to come walk this world with me
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
I'm not touched but I'm aching to be
I want you to come, I want you to come
I want you to come walk this world with me
And it's burning in our fingers and it's burning on the road
And I like the way you're broken and I'll like you when you're old
And I see you in the garden and I feel you plant the seed
I want you to come walk this world with me
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
I'm not touched but I'm aching to be
Dust to dust, ah dream to dream
I want you to come, I want you to come
I want you to come walk this world with me
Heal
Fall for me, my Southern Cross,
my star
Shine for me when love has gone too far
I've got you belly deep in me
It's just a little breath on water now is all we need
Just a little strength in our hearts, enough to heal
Enough to heal
Dig me out; can't leave this love for dead
Hand to mouth, we're pickin' up the thread
I've got you belly deep in me
It's just a little breath on the water now is all we need
Just a little strength in our hearts, enough to heal
Enough to heal
And the sea glistens
And the waves pull us in
Something rising up and up
A little breath on the water now
Just a little strength in our heart, enough to heal
A little breath
Enough to heal
A little strength
Enough to heal
Just a little breath on water, it's all we need
Just a little strength in our hearts, enough to heal
Enough to heal
Enough to heal
Island
Yeah, there are parts of me
he'll never know
My wild horses and my river beds
And in my throat
Voices he'll never hear
He pulls in me
Like a cherry tree
And I can still move
But I don't speak about it
Pretend I'm crazy
Pretend I'm dead
He's too scared to hit me now
He'll bring flowers instead
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you
Somewhere to go
And the dogwoods shimmer
In the October sun
"Oh, sweet thing", he sings to me,
"You're the only one"
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you
Somewhere
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you
Somewhere to go
And I don't know why
I can't tell my sister
He spat me in my face again
And I don't wanna die here
You know that dream when your feet won't move (move)
You wanna come but your body won't let you
He steals it from me
He steals it from me
Well shine, shine like sweat, like jewels
Like something that - that's died too soon
He fucks with the beauty
A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss, kiss, kick, kick, kick
He steals it from me
It's out of my hands again
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you
Somewhere
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you
Somewhere to go
To go
I need an island
I need an island
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you, somewhere to go...
Throwing fire
at the sun
I think of Venus sinking down
into the sea
And what it is to be alone and have nothing
I don't know why you wanna leave the space between
Is it easier to be alone and have nothing?
Oh, you and me and everyone
Oh, throwing fire at the sun
I put my hands up, lay my weapons down
I know that I was stupid, I was wrong
If I listen, there's something deeper that speaks
If we reach out, maybe we could make a little peace
Remember stealing oranges and how they bled
And you're the one who showed me how to touch myself
Blood is a river, ties you to me
Blood is a river, ties everyone
Blood is a river, ties you to me
Blood is a river, ties everyone
Oh, ties everyone
Oh, ties everyone
Maybe an
angel
I put my hands where your wings
should be, ooh yeah
I put my feet where the earth should be, ooh yeah
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead, I hung on
Something I feel, oh yeah
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
I got this light, hangs over me,
ooh yeah
I got this fear, cuts into me, ooh yeah
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead, I hung on
Something I feel, oh yeah
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
See how they run
Snd nobody said you would go
See how they fall
Ooh yeah
And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead, I hung on
Something I feel, oh yeah
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
See how they run
You are an angel
See how they run
All the same, all the same
Something out here
You are an angel
Truth and
bone
Sometimes I can feel you
breathing into me
And these hands I can feel them tugging at my sleeve
I move through the day in the rhythms that I've known
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down to truth and bone
All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it to truth and bone
All of it, oh all of it, all to truth and bone
My mouth is full of secrets that I'm too afraid to tell
And my body's full of longing for you to know me well
I move through the day in the rhythms that I've known
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down to truth and bone
All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it to truth and bone
All of it, oh all of it, all stripped down
All of it, oh all of it, all to truth and bone
And I think of sinking in way over my shoulders
Let the water, let the water take me in
And I need you to cut through to where I'm hidden
And I'm awkward and I'm too polite
And I want two stars for arms like Orion
I could breathe in, breathe in, breathe out
If I could only lose myself, I would lose my myself in you
I move through the day in the rhythms that I've known
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down to truth and bone
All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it to truth and bone
All of it, oh all of it, all stripped down
All of it, oh all of it, all to truth and bone
All of it, oh all of it, all stripped down
All of it, oh all of it, all to truth and bone
All of it, all of it, where are you
All of it, where are you, to truth and bone
Blue black
Eat your words, eat your heart
out
Eat your words, eat your heart out
There's not much left, just my red dress
Just this feeling that I got
You made me a victim in your Christmas kitchen
It's my memory, it's your loss
Blue black
Maybe you got something but the flowers grew back
And was it familiar when you touched my sister?
God, I don't think there's a word for that
Blue black
Maybe you got something, maybe you got something
But the flowers grew black
I gave it away, whore for a day
It's so ugly, I'm still breathing
But you never got my virgin heart
It stayed locked up, it's still beating
Blue black
Maybe you got something, maybe you got something
But the flowers grew black
Eat your words, eat your hat
Eat your words, eat your heart out
I never felt so clean, you did the sin supreme
You never had a clue, you can't take it with you
I never felt so clean, you did the
sin supreme
You never had a clue, you can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
Walking
higher
I carry you with me, ghost inside
In these shattered arms, you're still alive
I carry you with me, holy shrine
Dogs and angels follow right behind
Could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her
The bones they bury will feed the trees
But every word you ever spoke is still in me
Could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her
And I will feel for you in the music
And I will send that river home
And I will cry for you sometimes
When the night is down
And I will raise my head up to the mountain
Talk to the birds and I fly
'Cause the spirit lives on
When the body dies
Could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her
Could (Could I now be?) I be
walking higher? (higher)
Could (Could I be?) be right beside her?
Could I be walking, walking higher?
Could I be walking higher?
Light years
You found me
Drifting
Big motion like a bird
Strangest song I ever heard
Now, now that you’re here
Stay with me light years
Light years, light years
No paper, no ring
In the trees where frogs sing
I brought lilies for you
Think of all the things we’re gonna do
Now, now that you’re here
Stay with me light years
I give you a thousand hours
Making love in the tall sunflowers
I give you a thousand feet
Down where the water’s deep
Sleepy storm, sleepy head
Limb for limb on my bed
Now, now that you’re here
Stay with me light years
Light years, light years
Light years, light years
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with, stay
Stay, stay
Verona
La la la la la la
La la la la la
It gets inside you like the sun
It makes you wet just like the rain
It makes you sound so sentimental
Ah, it's a lovely kind of pain
La la la la la la
I used to dream (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
I used to dream about Verona (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
I used to dream (la la la la la) (dream, dream)
La la la la la la
I used to dream about Verona (la la la la la) (Verona)
And if there ever was an earthquake
I'd go down in the earth with you
And if there ever was an avalanche
I'd landslide down with you
La la la la la la
I used to dream (la la la la la) (dream, dream)
La la la la la la
I used to dream about Verona (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
I used to dream (la la la la la) (dream)
La la la la la la
I used to lean over the side of the boat
La la la la la
And get hypnotized by the water
It's up in the trees, up to me
It's out of the blue, out to you
La la la la la la
I used to dream (la la la la la) (dream)
La la la la la la
I used to dream about Verona (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
I used to dream (la la la la la) (dream, dream...)
La la la la la la
I used to dream about Verona (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Oh, Romeo, you are priceless, lifeless (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
Skipping star to scar to star (la la la la la)
La la la la la la
I used to dream, dream (la la la la la)
Slipping, slipping, slipping from me
I used to dream, dream
Burning, breathings, sleeping in me
I used to lean over the side of the boat
And get hypnotized by the water
Slipping, slipping, slipping from me
Burning, breathing, breathing, sleeping in me
Oh, Romeo
Doubled up
I saw a mountain from higher
above
I held your hand and I was doubled up in love
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And I'm doubled up in love
You're watching your step but you fall as you're walking
You take it in stride but still you fall as you're walking
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And I'm (ah) doubled up in love
Feels good, it feels like poetry
Don't ask me to explain
It just feels good like poetry
I'm doubled up again
Look at the sky lift off like an aeroplane
Watch the ground come up to meet you
Big sky above me, a river inside me
And I'm (ah) doubled up in love
Feels good, it feels like poetry
Don't ask me to explain
It just feels good like poetry
I'm doubled up again
Big sky above me, a river inside
me
And I'm, ah, doubled up in love
Feels good, it feels like poetry
Don't ask me to explain
It just feels good like poetry
I'm doubled up again
Big sky above me, a river inside me
Big sky above me, a river inside
And I'm, ah, doubled up in love
Sugar
On the Vermont Transit bus
I leaned my arm into a little chink of sun
Going somewhere older than I was
Strapped into something tight, keeping me small
I dug into you like rock climbing
Too scared of coming down
Too scared of going up
Too scared of rock face
I should've split my sides
Or spilled my guts
Or hit you or something
But I was good
And your father's little pancakes
So round and perfect
And me sitting up too straight
Laughing in wrong places
Kissing you
Kissing up
Kissing too soon
Ooh, when the cock crows
When the morning comes, where will I go?
Ooh, when the cock crows
When the love is gone, where will I go?
And when you got me pregnant
I stopped the party
And I stopped the typewriter
And I stopped your dumb ball game in the red barn
And I stopped your father and bled instead
And I felt the lie
I, something sticky on the inside
A bitter wind in my throat
Oh, stopping me wanting
In my stomach
My head
And you said
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't come come
Sugar, sugar, without your mother mother
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't taste it
Sugar, sugar, in my throat
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't come come
Sugar, sugar, without your mother mother
Sugar, sugar, you couldn't taste it
Sugar, sugar, in my throat
You couldn't, you couldn't taste it
You, you, you couldn't taste it
Siren
Keep me ( London Rain )
I'm coming, i'm coming home to you
I'm alive I'm a mess
I can't wait to get home to you
To get warm, warm and undressed
There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in
So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do
And when somebody knows you well
Well there's no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well there's no drug Iike that
B
ut I'll give you my heartWanna run for you
Would it do any good?
If I flew for you
You would still be standing
And it's hard watching
'Cause I'm part of you
And it's hard not to
Not to know what I can do
What a feeling
Now's the time when this will turn to
fruit
All the poppies gonna push up through
And I can see the ground below
The places that I know, disappearing
And I can see the winter fade
I don't feel so afraid it's clearing
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
I'm
the girl
I'm The Girl
by Heather Nova
I got a memory a thousand years old
And I know secrets I've never been told
And I got jewels I haven't found
And they'll return me to the ground
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
And I'm a Siren, I wreck you on my shores
And I'm Godiva, I'll call you back for more
And I'm Medusa and I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a Georgia O'Keefe hanging on your wall
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm Joan of Arc
I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter before
And I remember being born just sound and lights
Sound and light and light
And I remember the first time, skin on skin
Yeah, in the arms of the night
Well how many times have we looked up into the starry skies
And how many times have we felt the passion rise
Every ruby-lipped girl baby, old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl
Every muse, whore, good witch, princess, back-arching year after year after year
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm Joan of Arc
I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter of the mother and the daughter before
Reach your hand out
Now at first love when she said
Yeah, she loved you
Hmm, I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl...
Winter blue
Kiss your lashes, hiss you low
I'm driven to you like the driven snow
There's a place for us to lie
For every lover there's a piece of sky
To every life a light
that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
You know that this was meant to be
Long ago a hundred years from now
Tossing on an open sea
Love so good it's easy to go down
To every life a light
that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Love you like a jungle fever
I'll never never never, I'll never leave
Through every vein and every fibre
I'll never never never, I'll never leave
To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Winterblue, winterblue ...
Winterblue, my yellow summer ...
I'm
alive
Your hands were covered in paint
The pillow smothered my cry
You were half charmer half snake
I lived in dreamtime
But I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
Some nights I'd sleep in the car
Just to escape you
You drove devotion too far
No-one could save you
But I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
I still have visions of you
I still have nights to get through
And when the trust isn't true
I have these visions of you
I have these visions of you
And I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
I'm alive
There's nothing more to say
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
I'm alive
There's nothing more to say
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
Widescreen
Lately I've been slipping down
Thinking I'm the only one
Drifting in and out of blue
But destiny's a state of mind
And today I'm doing fine
Rolling through the afternoon with you
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
I
will be your misfit queenC
an you feel I still, can you feel the roomI'm lyin' on the backseat of
my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
Paper cup
Wishful thinking I might be yours
Drifting on every step
I'm always drawn to the dark horse
Sweet sweet, oh nothing's said
And every dream, every, is just a dream after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
Wishful thinking you might be mine
Every shiver sends
One breath under the bridge of sighs
Bending where the river bends
And every dream, every, is just a dream, after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the nights in a paper cup
When you want it to last
And every dream, every, is just a dream after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
Avalanche
I lie in a field,
In the trailer-park of my dreams
Saving up for someday,
But what does someday mean?
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine X4
Gonna make you mine, yeah
I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
In the bluebells of your soul
Yeah before the sea runs dry
Ruby red
I've got a ruby red desire
Like a virus like my last hope
I've got a ruby red desire
I've got to hear the red bird sing
I've got to rip this cord
And rinse this lazy blood
Clear a path and walk away
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
And every memory's a
dream
And each uncertainty reminds me why
I saw a kid outside playing by a moongate
Making paper things that fly
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that [m not ready yet
I want to live ...
I've been waiting for
the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
I want to live ...
Not
only human
Morning is almost here - let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I don't think I could breathe now with you gone
But it's not weakness it's just something I've begun
Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human
When you're sleeping your ceramic
You're surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours
Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go
I got an email from you today
With a poem that you wrote
I was touched because you felt it
And 'cause I nearly let you go
Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go
This long distance has me outta my mind
But it gives me time to think
And it gives me room to see you
In another live
Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go, won't let
you go
Sweet, won't let you go

Do do do do do da do doo doo x 4
While I was watching this talk show the other day
And on it there was this guy
And he was saying "When you let other people tell you what's right
when you leave your instinct and your own truth behind he said
That's a virus of the mind, that's a virus of the mind"
Well I guess it's kinda like loosing your sight
For a second you think that they might be right
And it feeds the doubts that you have inside
It almost starts to feels like a crime
To follow your own rhythm and rhyme
I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind
Your virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo x 2
virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo x 2
Well I went to this party thing last night
A lot of people I hadn't seen in a long long time
And they wanted to know about my life
But making me feel like it wasn't quite right
Like "Where's is your kids?" and "Where is you car?"
I said "I don't have either but I have a guitar"
And I ended up feeling like I was a freak
So I found some wine and something to eat
I talked to the dog to pass the time
I told myself "I'm doing just fine"
It's just a virus of the mind x 2
I'm pretty happy living in my my own sweet time
Living in my
Yeah I'm pretty happy
And I don't need your virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo x 2
you're a virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo x 2
It's in the deep of your soul, it's on the tip of your tongue
It's the feeling you get, when you feel young
It's in the sound of a beat, it's in the base of your spine
It's in your gut reaction, yeah every time
But they tell you what you should have, they tell you who you should be
It's in the pictures and ads and in the magazines
I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze
Cause is anyone out there inside me
I say "Is anyone out there inside me?"
I say "Is anyone?"
Oooooh ooh hooo
[I'm pretty happy living in my my own sweet time
living in my
yeah I'm pretty happy

The streets are all busy
We're still in bed
We should be up working
But we're lying here instead
I look outside
The weather's fine
For playing music and drinking wine
I could waste the day with you
I could slip away into
Another dimension
What a perfect way to spend the day with you
Let's walk to the café
And sit in the sun
And read all the papers
And watch everyone
Cause Life is Short
Life is sweet
And Sometimes you've just got to set yourself free
I could waste the day with you
I could slip away into
Another dimension
What a perfect way to spend the day with you (ooo-ooo -ooo -oo) x3
I could waste a day with you
I could slip away in two
Another dimension
What a perfect way to spend a day
Yeah what a perfect way to spend a day with you (ooo -ooo -ooo -oo) x3

Heaven
Sent
Got the lights down low, the street below
The world inside is spinning
All my memories, my doubts about the ways that I've been living
You come on like the sun
And blow it all away
I guess
Heaven sent you
cause I'm heaven high
And I'm heading into what I can't describe
It's all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
You're in my head, in my veins, in my world
And you're here to stay
Every day I wake, I hesitate
I feel you're in my sky
All my melodies, my dreams it seems
You're always on my mind
If you come on like a tide you turn me
And I can't turn away
And I guess
Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high
And I'm heading into what I can't describe
You're all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
In my head, in my veins, in my world
And you're here to stay
And I guess
Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high
And I'm heading into, what I can't describe
You're all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
In my head
Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high

Heading into, what I can't describe
You're all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified

It's
only Love
Love...
I used to think that I knew what we needed
I just assumed we would always be fine
Now I don't think that we lost the feeling
But we, let everything build up inside
It's only love
But love.. should make us strong
It's only love
But love.. has been hurting so long
What a challenge, honesty
What a struggle to learn to speak
Who would've thought that pretending was easier
It's only love
But love.. should make us strong
It's only love
But love.. has been hurting so.. long
And it's all, a part of me
It tears at my heart only
Love..
And it's all, an eternity
Hoping to learn only
Love..
Love..
There's a part of you I'm trying to reach
Still a part I don't know
Tell me, is devotion a gift or a thief
Do you wish I'd let go
It's only love
But love.. should make us strong
It's only love
But love.. has been hurting so.. long
And it's all, a part of me
It tears at my heart
Only love
And it's all, eternity
Hoping to learn
Only love
Only.. Only love.. Love..
Only love.. Love..
*** Thanx a lot to Stan for this one ***
Are you ready
For me to be stronger
I'm keeping my distance
My voice to a whisper
Are you ready
For me to surrender
'cause I find in my return
There's no need to hide these words
Cause maybe I'm no angel
But I feel like I could fly
And maybe there's no rainbow
But my love for you still shines
And I want to
I want to be endless
I want to be helpless
I want to be true
Like a sunbeam
The shadow's behind me
Sliding out of view
Let me bring it home to you
Maybe I'm no angel
But I feel like I could fly
And maybe there's no rainbow
But my love for you still shines
'Cause here I am, here I am
I've been running long enough to know
Here I am, here I stand
All this rung's got me longing in my soul
Longing in my soul
Maybe I'm no angel
But I feel like I could fly
And maybe there's no rainbow
But my love for you still shines
Yeah maybe i'm no angel angel
Feel like feel like i could fly

Help
Me Be Good To You
Here in the light of late afternoon
Sun on the water, I'm thinking of you
How we've come too far
To be drifting apart
All this distance we're losing
I know it's my fault
But I think that I love you
I know that I do
I just need you
To help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
I don't know why
I can't settle down
Something from my childhood
I still haven't found
And I don't wanna hurt you
With all my longings and my doubts
Just the way I need to feel free
I can see how it brings you down
Well I think that I love you
I know that I do
I just need you
To help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
Help me, please help me dad
Help me be good to you

When
Somebody Turns You On
Can you hear me
Am I loud enough
Could you see it coming
Like an avalanche
I only felt the need
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
When somebody turns you on
It's like a light in the dark goes on
It's like you've waited for rain, you're waited
So long
When somebody turns you on
Were you waiting, were you waiting
When you took my hand
Were you aching with me
Did you understand
I only felt the heat
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
When somebody turns you on
It's like a light in the dark goes on
It's like you've waited for rain, you're waited
So long
When somebody turns you on
When I know this is real

You eyes go straight to my soul
And I know this is good
It goes deep like I know it should yeah
We've just got to let love grow
When somebody turns you on

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Simplicity, is what we need
And I know it in my heart
So many choices make us think we need
What we haven't got
I've been blessed, by you
I've been tested, by an angel
I've been blessed, by you
And I know and I believe
There's a way out to the sea of happiness
And if I knew what Buddha taught
And would my wings unfold
And if I had all that I want
Could I let it go
I've been blessed, by you
I've been tested, by an angel
I've been blessed, by you
And I know and I believe
There's a way out to the sea of happiness
And sometimes I feel I'm learning to crawl
Like I'm still learning how to love
And sometimes I feel like I'm losing it all
But I know there must be some way we can rise above
I've been blessed, by you
I've been tested, by an angel
I've been blessed, by you
And I know and I believe
There's a way out to the sea of happiness
And I know and I believe
And I know and I believe
And I know and I believe
*** Thanx a lot to Stan for this one ***
My heart opened, like an oyster shell
I drank salt water, from your lips
And just below the equator
I swallowed the pearl
And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born
And the sea rolled in
And rose around us
Your face above me
Darkening the stars
And as the waves are breaking out along the reef
I dived for your heart
And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Want you yeah
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Want you yeah
My heart opened, like an oyster shell
I drink salt water, from your lips
And just below the equator
I swallowed the pearl
And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you want you yeah
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you, yeah...
I see you standing in the doorway
Shadow in the sun
I'm reaching out to touch you
Is it better when you know?
That you're not the only one.
That I can hear you.
And there's so much I can do for you.
Give it time I know that I can pro-ove
Now my world is often out to you.
Let if fly-i-i
Welcome
To my life
Welcome
To my world
Welcome
Come inside
I see you pick'in up the pieces
The pieces of a dream
You tried to build around you
I know you're looking for a reason
A reason to believe
And now I found you
And there's so much I can do for you
Given time I know that I can prove
Now my world is offered up to you.
Come inside
And I say. . .
Welcome
To my life
Welcome
To my world
Welcome
Come inside
Wel-he-he-he-he
And there's so much I can do for you
Given time I know that I can prove
Now my world is often out to you.
Come inside
And I say. . .
Chorus (x 4):
Welcome
To my life
Welcome
To my world
Welcome
Come inside
Wel-he-he-he-he

Let's Not Talk About Love
I don't know if I love you
Or if it's all in my head
I don't know if I love you
Though I know it's what I said
I don't know
This love is something I don't understand
Can't explain, can't hold in my hand
But I'll stay here tonight and I'll keep the flame alight
Let's not talk about love
I don't know if I love you
Though I feel some pain
I don't know if I love you
Or if I'm playing the game
I don't know
This love is something I don't understand
Can't explain, can't hold in my hand
But I'll stay here tonight and I'll make you feel alright
Let's not talk about love
Yeah, i'll stay here tonight
And i'll make you feel alright
Let's not talk about
Let's not talk
Let's not talk about love
You Left
Me A Song
Out of the glitter and the shine,
Out of the corner of my eye,
Saw you walk in, I freezed the frame,
My luck again.
We could have been strangers if we
tried
Moved to the rhythm side by side,
Maybe a glance across the room,
Blue moon
Why do the hours burn so long?
Sunset and shadows call,
I hear the music playing on
I know you're gone but you
You left me a song
Under the skylight after dark,
Crept in to find you, what a lark
We were like children stripping down,
The joy we found.
But even the lights that turn me
on
Make it so hard to see beyond;
Make it a rainbow in my mind
This borrowed time
Why do the hours burn so long?
Sunset and shadows call
I hear the music playing on
I know you're gone, but you
You left me a song
Oh, you left me
Oh, you left me a song
Why do the hours burn so long?
Sunset and shadows call
I hear the music playing on
I know you're gone, but you
You left me a song
Drink It
In
How many days are left
And what to spend them on?
Should I keep working
Or sit and marvel at the sky?
I think about your skin, your
fragile skin
The heaven of life we're living in
Drink it in, drink it deep yeah
I pray to life your soul to keep
Drink it in, drink it in
Pink clouds scatter
My heart beats clear
For all the hearts that I hold dear
Drink it in, drink it deep yeah
I pray to life, your soul to keep
Drink it in, drink it deep yeah
I pray to life, your soul to keep
Drink it in
Drink it in
Drink it in
Drink it in
River Of
Life
I wanted to feel like a bird
On the wings of time
But it was not our time
I wanted to lie for a while
In the fields and dream
But it was not to be
’Cause sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life
I wanted to hold you so long
In the dark till dawn
But I could feel you go
I wanted to sing in my head
I could hear a song
But it was not our song
Oh, yes
Sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life
The river of life
Sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life
One Day
In June
One day in June
I slipped away
Caught by desire
Drawn to the flame
My virtues disappeared
Light on my feet
Whispers as sweet as honey
Calling to me
One day in June
One day in June
I felt the hunger
I ate the fruit
One day in June
So don't cry for me
I had my chance
I took a risk
I asked the wind to dance
Don't try to save me
I'm already gone
Everything's over
I'm burning on
One day in June
One day in June
I felt the hunger
I ate the fruit
One day in June
And I don't like how it feels
To tell all these little lies
Try to be the one you can count on
But it's a thin disguise
I kissed it all goodbye
One day in June
Storm
Storm's out on the water
I watch it getting closer
Are you coming home ?
All these years we've wandered
Trying to break the cycle
All these years of hope
And my heart feels the strain
But it makes me feel like i am alive again
Well sometimes in our lives
We need the pain
So I find some candles
Put out all the anchors
Pull the shutters down
It makes me think about us
All those things that got lost
Still we're holding on
And the storm rushes in
But it makes me feel like i'm alive again
But sometimes in our lives
We need the pain
The wind, the rain
The storm will wash us clean again
The wind, the rain
The storm will shake us up again
The wind, the rain
The storm will make us think again
The wind
And maybe we can start again
Storm's out on the water
Sea and sky become one
Are you coming home ?
I Wanna
Be Your Light
Nothing's promised in this life
So I am thankful
That we're here tonight
Take my hand and let's look up
At the stars
We can make them ours
I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
I wanna be your star
Let me be your star
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
I don't wanna see you cry
All that pain we hold inside
Life is waiting, don't forget
You are free, I'll help you see
I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
I wanna be your star
Let me be your star
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
There's no time in life to judge
Only time enough for love
So as another night slips by
Let us dance beneath the sky
I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
I wanna be your star
Let me be your star
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
The milky way
Aquamarine
Aquamarine
All that glitters lies beneath
Deep blue, shallow green
I won't let it go
Aquamarine
You're my sexy little daydream
Deep blue, shallow green
Gotta make it so
Aquamarine
Send it up into the gulf stream
Deep blue, shallow green
I won't let it go
Now is the dream
Now is the dream
Aquamarine
All I
Need
Can we love each other
And respect each other
Find some joy together
'Cause that's all i need, oh, all i need
That's all i need, oh, all i need
I don't want your money
Or all your time
Just a heart that's beating
With mine
'Cause that's all i need, oh, all i need
That's all i need, oh, all i need
And when you've got the world on your shoulders
You'll see
I be there for you
Like you there for me
That's all i need, oh, all i need
That's all i need, oh, all i need
That's all i need, oh, all i need...
Everytime
See the lights go by
Streaks against the sky
You've been by my side
You've been on this ride
All the times I've cried
All the nights beside
You have brought me round
Yours the thorny crown
Where the sea grass grows
Dark among the stones
You have thrown the line
Saved me every time
Fool For
You
You came into my life, I don't think that you meant to
You were standing in a doorway I was trying to walk through
Like an angel or the devil, I could never quite say
It doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Open my heart and let the wind blow through
'Cause I'm a fool for you
Well you can tell me anything and I'll believe
'Cause when you keep me hanging it only feeds the dream
I'm never going to reach you, you're a distant shore
But you've still got me coming back for more
'Cause I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Open my heart and let the wind blow through
'Cause I'm a fool for you
Oh let the wind blow through
And now the snow is falling; all the roads are gone
The earth keeps moving but I'm moving on
I had so much to tell you, but no words to say
It doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Open my heart and let the wind blow through
'Cause I'm a fool for you
Oh, I'm a fool for you
I'm still a fool for you
Open my heart and let the rain fall through
'Cause I'm a fool for you
*** Thanx a lot to Stan via Cassander from Heathernova.net for these lyrics ***
I see you standing in the doorway
A shadow in the sun
I'm reaching out to touch you
Is it better when you know
That you're not the only one
That I can hear you?
And there's so much I can do for you
Given time I know that I can prove
Now my world is offered up to you
Let it fly
And I say
Welcome
To my life
Welcome
To my world
Welcome
Come inside
Well, well
I see you picking up the pieces
The pieces of a dream
You tried to build around you
I know you're looking for a reason
A reason to believe
And now I've found you

*** Thanx a lot to Stan & Chris for this one ***
I bury myself in the leaves to
sleep
The sun so strong and the rage so deep
I keep waking to find I've been dreaming again
And the sound of the ocean is not a plane
And far away they talk about me
In newspaper columns they write about me
Round dinner tables and cocktail parties
I'm a heroine and a tragic figure
I'm a heroine as I'm lying here
Beneath my sky
And sometimes
Sometimes I cry
And sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Why we're always coming down
Why we need to touch the ground
Why I didn't keep on heading
Right on up to heaven
I miss my sky
Here from below the clouds are shadows
Not the golden mountains I used to fly through
Here from below the sky is a painting
A child's room with the future waiting
But not for me
But sometimes
Sometimes I cry
But sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Why we're always coming down
Why we need to touch the ground
Why I didn't keep on heading
Right on up to heaven
I miss my sky
I miss my sky
I look up at the birds flying overhead
My sentinel's true but the signal's dead
It's been five hundred days of hope and sorrow
Five hundred days with no tomorrow
And the poetry and the best of me
And the heart and spirit and the sex of me
All fell into the azure sea
In the tailspin with the last of me
And my wings and my song
And all that I knew is dead and gone
I'm weak and tired but my will is strong
And my hope lives on
My hope lives on
But sometimes
Sometimes I cry
And sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Why we're always coming down
Why we need to touch the ground
Why I didn't keep on heading
Right on up to heaven
Why we're always coming down
Why we need to touch the ground
Why I didn't keep on heading
Right on up to heaven
I miss my sky
I miss my sky
I miss my sky
Yeah
Motherland
If I could keep you
Underneath my wing
The sky above you
Safe from everything
Under
Under my wing
To watch you breathing
Is all that I can do
To see you smile
My only wish come true
I'm living
I'm living for you
The waves roll in
I help you swim
You take my hand
And through the years
And through the fears
I'll be your rock
The motherland
The bond is written
The animal in me
I'd lay my life down
I'd give it happily
I'd give it
I'd give it for you
The waves roll in
I help you swim
You take my hand
And through the years
And through the fears
I'll be your rock
The motherland
The motherland
The motherland
Motherland
Motherland
If I could keep you
Underneath my wing
The sky above you
Safe from everything
Under
Under my wing
The waves roll in
I help you swim
You take my hand
You take my hand
And through the years
And through the fears
I'll be your rock
The motherland
(he waves roll in
I help you swim
You take my hand
You take my hand
And through the years
And through the fears
I'll be your rock
The motherland
The waves roll in
The waves roll in
The waves roll in
The motherland
The motherland
Motherland
Motherland
I saw the redbird fly
Bright flame against the sky
Burning against the sun
Hmm, am I the only one
I watched the rose unfold
Secrets we left untold
The rose, the red red rose
Hmm, still nobody knows
I split the pomegranate
Restless until you've had it
Sweet against the tongue
Hmm, am I the only one
Am I the only one
The blood red rubies of
The blood red rubies of
The blood red rubies of our sexuality
The blood red rubies of our sexuality
Of
Am I the only one
Of
Am I the only one
The blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
Blood red rubies
I saw the redbird fly
Done
drifting
I'm done drifting
I'm ready for living
I'm done drifting
I'm ready for living
With you
And though the world is big and wide
What I want is peace inside
And though there's still so much to do
All I need is you
I'm done searching
I'm ready to dig in
I'm done searching
I'm ready to dig in
With you
And though we still have far to go
That's alright, we'll take it slow
And though the days are often long
With you here, I can be strong
I'm done wishing
I'm ready for giving
I'm done wishing
I'm ready for giving
With you
And though the world is big and wide
What I want is peace inside
And though there's still so much to do
All I need is you
I'm done drifting
I'm ready for living
I'm done drifting
I'm ready for living
I'm done drifting
I'm ready for living
I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
With you
I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
With you
I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
Ooh...
I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
Ooh...
I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
I'm ready for living
I'm ready for living
Overturned
On a flight path out of Berlin
I had a sense what I was falling in
I caught the light refracting from your eyes
On the runway below making me blind
I had a hurricane warning in my chest
Listening for the voice that knows me best
Well it's all so simple and so true
But I'm so slow to learn
Yeah, you got me
I'm in your world
Caught in your sunset
Overturned
So I put down in Nova Scotia
In the pine tree sun I could smell the ocean
I was trying so hard not to remember
Washing you clean in the icy water
But the energy I can't dismiss
And when the fog rolls in
I think of your kiss
So I light a fire to stare into
But love's so slow to burn
Yeah, you got me
I'm in your world
Caught in your sunset
Overturned, oh
Well some will say that nothing lasts forever
And some will say it's better to be safe
But I don't care, I'll stay with you whatever
It takes
Yeah, you got me
I'm in your world
Caught in your sunset
Overturned, oh
Yeah, you got me
Yeah, you really got me
I'm in your world
In your world
Caught in your sunset
Overturned, overturned
Mesmerized
Your face so beautiful it makes me cry
I was not thinking I would get this high
But here I am mesmerized
Here I am mesmerized
Life gets heavy but bright
Deeper blue, crystallized
I'm so weak, so alive
Mesmerized
A light appearing in my broken sky
Night falls around me as the stars shoot by
But here I stand mesmerized
Here I am mesmerized
Life gets heavy but bright
Deeper blue, crystallized
I'm so weak, so alive
Mesmerized
Here I am mesmerized
Life gets heavy but bright
Deeper blue, crystallized
I'm so weak, so alive
Mesmerized
Mesmerized
Singing
you through
Do you think I can't see through
To who you are?
All the life that shines below
The pain, the scars
Did you think that you could hide
Build up a wall inside
Just turn yourself to stone
And go through this alone
No, I'll be there
Like a bird
Singing to you
I'll be there
Like a bird
Singing you through
I'll be there
I'll be there
Holding the light for you
Making it right for you
Singing you through
Do you think that I don't know
How far you've come
All the heights you've had to climb
The miles you've run
Did you think I'd let you down
Just turn this ship around
And leave you in the dust
But you must know you must
That I'd be there
Like a bird
Singing to you
I'll be there
Like a bird
Singing you through
I'll be there
I'll be there
Holding the light for you
Making it right for you
Singing you through
Singing you through
People think that they can heal
Without the touch
Learn to live without the love
They need so much
But everybody hurts
And everybody cries
And everybody needs
A helping hand sometimes
And I'll be there
Like a bird
Singing to you
I'll be there
Like a bird
Singing you through
I'll be there
I'll be there
Holding the light for you
I'll be there
Making it right for you
I'll be there
Singing you through
Like a bird
Singing you through
Singing you through
Like a bird
Singing you through
Like a bird
Singing you through
A way to
live
If we can't find a way to live
It's that we don't know how to give
We're breathing but with iron lungs
Speaking but in separate tongues
Just find a way
A way to live
The walls are high but made of glass
The dye is dark but not yet cast
And though remorse comes easily
An act of love could set you free
A way to live, a way to live, a way to take it higher
A way to live, a way to live, a way to hold our fire
A way to live, a way to live, a way to live
A way to live, a way to live, a way to take it higher
A way to live, a way to live, a way to hold our fire
A way to live, a way to live, a way to live
A way to live, a way to live, a
way to take it higher
A way to live, a way to live, a way to hold our fire
A way to live, a way to live, a way to live
A way to live, a way to live, a way to live
Oh, a way to live, a way to live, a way to live
Wicked game
( Chris Isaac )
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
With you
With you
What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
And I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
No I don't want to fall in love
This world is only gonna break your heart
With you
This world is only gonna break your heart
This world is only gonna break your heart
No I...
This world is only gonna break your heart
This world is only gonna break your heart
This world is only gonna break your heart
Nobody loves no one
This Body
Hmm, hmm, hmm
I'll tell you what I want
Hmm, hmm, hmm
This is what I want
Yeah this is what I want
The world outside can't describe my inner life
The river's long, the roads roll on in my inner life
I know you're a good man
But you can only guess
That this body has traveled on
this body is fine and strong
This body has given life
Nurtured and sacrificed
This body has done so much
This body needs your touch
And all I want is a little tenderness
A real embrace, hmm to wake up my senses
I just want a caring hand
I want you to understand
That this body has traveled on
This body is fine and strong
This body has given life
Nurtured and sacrificed
This body has done so much
This body needs your touch
Needs your touch
Hmm, hmm, hmm
I tell you this is what I really really want
Hmm, hmm, hmm
This is, this is what I want
Yeah, this is sacred ground
Waiting here to be found
This body has traveled on
This body is fine and strong
This body has given life
Nurtured and sacrificed
This body has done so much
This body needs your touch
This body has done so much
Yeah, this body needs your touch
Needs your touch
Hmm, hmm, hmm
This is what i really really want
Hmm, hmm, hmm
This is really what i want
Don't you know
Can't you see
Can't you feel
The sun
will always rise
Hey, don't cry
The night is almost through
And I'll be here
To hold and comfort you
Though sometimes
You'll look out
On dark and stormy skies
Darling
Remember
The sun will always rise
And bring the light
And bring the light
And life will take you
Through many endless nights
And you may struggle
With pain and loss sometimes
But as long
As you are humble
As you stay true inside
Come what may
The sun will always rise
And bring the light
And bring the light
Mountains will make it harder
Dark clouds will make you doubt
But you'll get through
And when I can't be with you
This ray of hope
I give to you
So hey, don't cry
The night is almost through
And I'll be here
To hold and comfort you
Though sometimes
You'll look out
On dark and stormy skies
Darling
Remember darling
The sun will always rise
And bring the light
And bring the light
And bring the light
And bring the light
Believe
In Angels
( The Crow : City Of Angels Soundtrack )
Where the silence falls
There the river runs deep
Where the shadow ends
So begins the dream
Where the hunger leads me
It's hard to believe
I'll be lost to you
It's the blood that ties
It's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
Yeah, I'm afraid to breathe
An' I'm lost to you
Yeah, I'm lost to you
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
Hold me under
Let the river wash away my sins
Let me drown and you
Let the water and the love rush you
You can hear me whisper
When you're listenin'
And I'm lost to you
Yeah, lost to you
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
It's the blood that ties
It's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
I long to believe
And I'm lost to you
Yeah, lost to you
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels
Oh- through the city of angels....
Blessed
( Blow LP )
Tonight my life is moving fast
I sit and watch the demons pass
