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
Yeah but maybe there's no rainbow

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
*** Thanx a lot to Stan & Chris for this one ***
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

*** 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
Ride
I don't know if I took a wrong turn
Cause the birds don't fly low like they used to
The water's rising but I'm bone dry
And I don't come for you like I used to
And I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Just hold onto nothing
And ride
Well sometimes I'm hungry for the warmth of a body
Like a flame that could feed me or keep me alive
I done the right thing but I'm incomplete
I need something to explode inside
And I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Just hold onto nothing
And ride
Hold onto nothing
And ride
Onto Georgia O'Keeffe's skies
Over red earth plains
Where the desert raven flies
Where the truth remains
Let me ride
Yeah
Ride, ride
'Cause I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Just hold onto nothing
And I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Hold onto nothing
Yeah, I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and nothing and nothing
Yeah, hold onto nothing
And ride
Hold onto nothing
And ride
Hold onto nothing
Beautiful
storm
There is a light that catches my eye in the morning
And I see it now
There aren't any saints, it dreams like it paints
It's a beautiful storm, it comes with no warning at all
I walk the line, tripping each time, and I stumble
But now that I'm half gone
The world's on the table, I'm willing and able
This beautiful storm, it comes with no warning at all
And you stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning at all
Into the flesh
Into the sorrow I fall now
Waves coming on
And I'm soaked and I'm torn
I'm blissed out and worn
And this beautiful storm
It comes with no warning
And you stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning
And I, how will I ever tell you that I want you
Oh how will I ever touch you like I long to
You just blow right through me
You stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning
And you stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning at all
Maybe
tomorrow
When you touch me, I feel lonely
I don't know how to let you into me
It's been coming now for a long time
It's been coming now for a long time
Is there some way to reach my Hebrides
Burn a light on the headland, lonely seas
We've been rolling on for a long time
We've been rolling on for a long time
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Oh maybe soon
I've been out on the birdland, got no wings
I've been calling the nighthawk, hope she sings
It's been coming now for a long time
It's been coming now for a long time
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Oh maybe soon, oh maybe soon
Out on a
limb
I'm looking through to what this all comes down to
I'm looking for just a little more, a taste of happiness
This world keeps spinning me around, I can't see clearly
I got no way to find the ground and I've gotta move on
But what if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever before
Red sky at night, you tell me there's good yet to come
I think I might find a little more, a taste of happiness
I've built these walls around myself, I can't see over
And all these lines I tell myself, so I don't have to try
Cause what if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever before
Cause what if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever, yeah
What if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever before
Better than ever before
Better than ever before
Every
soldier is a mother's son
I keep a light in the window
Dark band on my heart
Some days are better than others
Mostly I'm falling apart
I keep his picture beside me
I see the dream in his eyes
I watch the light disappearing
Into unsettled skies
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
I know he can't take the killing
And how it messes with his soul
I know the days are unending
When you're so far from home
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
I keep a light in the window
I keep a vigil inside
I say a prayer for those mothers
Across the enemy lines
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son
Out in New
Mexico
These walls around me and the days are long
I fill my lungs with a widow's song
I'm looking for a reason, feel the spirit rise
I see my life before me when I close my eyes
I picture a road out in New Mexico
Red earth and mountains and sky
I picture my soul out in New Mexico
With all that space rolling by
Sometimes I feel, in a world between
Everything I touch and everything I dream
Sometimes I long for the rose to bleed
For the spark to light in the depths of me
I picture a road out in New Mexico
Red earth and mountains and sky
I picture my soul out in New Mexico
With all that space rolling by
I'm so scared of what I'll find
If I let it go, if I look inside
I'm so scared of what I feel
If I let it go, if I make it real
I picture a road out in New Mexico
Red earth and mountains and sky
I picture my soul out in New Mexico
With all that space rolling by
With all that earth rolling by
With all these dreams rolling by
Leaving this life behind
Looking
for the light
I'm looking for the spirit in life
I'm looking for the beautiful
I'm looking for the sweetness
Let my heart be full
I seen the face of Buddha
I seen the face of time
I've heard the words of Jesus
But I can't find mine
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
To light my way
I wanna hold it to me
I wanna catch the glow
I think I'm getting higher
Then I fall below
I find it in the skies sometimes
I find it in the dark sometimes
I find it in my mind sometimes
But I can't hold on
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
To light my way
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
To drive these doubts away
Hollow
What do you need to be high, to be here
I catch your eye, now I'm lost in the tears
And it's hollow, but it's beautiful too
In the shadows, with the light coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
What do you need to be warm, to be real
I found a photograph of how we used to feel
And I'm drifting, but I'm riding it too
In the silence, with your voice coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down
I wanna feel, wanna find what you are
Now that it's dark, we can see by the stars
And it's hollow, but it's beautiful too
In the shadows, with the light coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down
If I
should die
If I should die and leave you here, just disappear
I know the sun will still shine
The day I'm gone, you'll carry on and on and on
And I know the sun will still shine
And if you wanna reach me
Just feel the sun in your face
And if you wanna hear me
Just sing out with your own voice
Life in each hour is delicate
As a jasmine flower in my hands
Just for this time
To kiss your face, to hold you now
To feel this grace
Just for this time
And if you wanna reach me
Just feel the sun in your face
And if you wanna hear me
Just sing out with your own voice
Cause I will always, I will always
I will always be a part of you
And love will always, love will always
Love will always, love will get you through
Yeah, I will always, I will always
I will always be a part of you
And love will always, love will always
Love will always, love will get you through
Say
something
Say something, let it fly
Darkness is here and so am I
Say something, I don't care
Just let the words spill everywhere
And I'll just lie awake and watch the stars
There is no one can take this night of ours
Except for you, so get it through to me
Say something, I believe
There's still a chance for this to breathe
Say something, make it real
And risk it all, for what you feel
And I'll just lie awake and watch the stars
There is no one can take this night of ours
Except for you, so get it through to me
Your silence is not golden
Your words have not been stolen
No matter, in my head
I hear the words you never said
And I'll just lie awake and watch the stars
There is no one can take this night of ours
Except for you
Follow me
in grace
Dive in to a life
Fall in to the green
Out with my breath
Bursting unseen
Cradle you rock
Hold me in the deep
We all are lost
Searching and free
And to the little hearts
Hardly spoken
And to the wild hearts
Always fierce
Life, I don't know your ways
Life, follow me in grace
Crack in my voice
Where did you go
We've got no choice
Chariots swing low
And to the little hearts
Hardly spoken
And to the wild hearts
Always fierce
Life, I don't know your ways
Life, follow me in grace
Life, I don't know your ways
I will make mistakes
So follow me in grace
So follow me in grace
So follow me in grace
Always
Christmas
Christmas is coming
Like a road I'm running
All the lights reminding me
There's something more I've got to give
Bells are ringing
In my head, I'm singing
Still I can't begin to feel the light
That I was meant to live
All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
The night is silent
How the stars are vibrant
And I wish the world was peaceful
As it seems it is tonight
So hang the mistletoe
And kiss the one below
But pray the angels come
And bring this world a little light
All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, always Christmas
When I feel this way
All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, always Christmas
When I feel this way
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
A world I know but never seen
A fear that ripped the colour from me
I lit a candle for the day
Saw the light around your head
Walked where angels never go
Saw them shining from below
It's easy when you're blessed
With money, love and sex
You're not like all the rest
It's easy when you're blessed
And did your mother lie to you?
You got God and death confused
I can't blame it on your soul
There was nowhere else it could go
It's easy when you're blessed
With money, love and sex
You're not like all the rest
It's easy when you're blessed
It's easy when you're blessed
Blind
( Walk this world EP )
I've been searching for the answers
I've been diving in the sea
I've been haunted by the shadows
Of what we could have been
And its not that I'm broken
And it isn't that I bleed
But when you pulled the stars from the heavens
It got so hard to see
And where would I put my hands now?
Its over now, we had our time
Its over now, we had our time
But you leave me, blind
Will you leave me, blind
Dove for the treasures
We went deep down for the pearls
And we could have cracked it open
Yeah, it could have been so good
And where would I put my hands now?
Its over now, we had our time
Its over now, we had our time
I feel this pain, I know I'm alive
If love is wrong, then I'm doing time
I feel myself, small like a child
My love has gone, how will I survive
It's everywhere, it's in the trees
All those stars and I can't see
I'm blind, I'm blind, I'm blind
And how will you think of us
A crease along your hand
Lying at these temple doors
Beautiful and sad
And where would I put my hands now?
Its over now, we had our time
Its over now , we had our time
But you leave me, blind
Will you leave me, blind
Its in the trees
All those stars and I can't see
Oh, you leave me, you leave
You leave me, blind, blind
Ooh, you leave me, you leave me
Its in the trees
You leave me, you leave me
Blind
Dancing
( Mensano featuring Heather Nova )
I am the bird that circles
Above the waves
The waves returning and returning
Echoing, echoing, echoing...
Storm on the ocean
Shadows on my skin
This is the dream I'm living in
You were the one light
Burned like the sunlight
This is the dream I've fallen in
I'll be waiting
Sorrow in my hands
I'll be waiting
Dancing like my heart is breaking
Lying awake here
Hollow and stripped bare
Drifting away against the tide
Could be the last time
Could be the one time
I'll be waiting
Sorrow in my hands
I'll be waiting
Dancing like my heart is breaking
I'll be waiting
Sorrow in my hands
I'll be waiting
Dancing like my heart is breaking
Echoing, echoing, echoing...
I am the bird that circles
Above the wave
Echoing
I'll be waiting
Sorrow in my hands
I'll be waiting
Dancing like my heart is breaking
Dancing like my heart is breaking
Dancing like my heart is breaking
Days
and nights
( Heart & Shoulder EP )
I'm sorry I just get worried sometimes
And it comes out like anger
And then I take myself by surprise
I find how I feel for you
With a little bit of time
I might come of nothing
With a little bit of time
You might feel the same
'Cause you are my days and nights
You don't realize
You're my days
You're my nights
Each minute is a wide open space
There's too much I know for sure
Tonight I probably push you away
All I want is to feel you close
With a little bit of time
I might come of nothing
With a little bit of time
You might feel the same
'Cause you are my days and nights
You don't realize
I don't wanna feel this strong if it makes me weak
I don't wanna hold on to what's killing me
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Just like the moon and the tide
I'm strapped in my senses
These feelings are mountains sometimes
It's not good pretending
With a little bit of time
I might come of nothing
With a little bit of time
You might feel the pain
'Cause you are my days and nights
You don't realize
'Cause you are my days and nights
I don't wanna feel this strong if it makes me weak
I don't wanna hold on to what's killing me
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
( Live / Only a bad
recording exists )
(?)
I want to be with you
If I could drive away
Drive away with you
Drive away x 2
Possible to become so charming(?)
Want to be looked in the mirror (?)
Butterflies won’t fly away
Want to be loved
In a life I would(???)
Drive away with you x 2
Drive away
Drive away
Drive away-eyayaay
Don’t go away(?)
Can you stay?
Can you (?)
Drive away x 2
Ooo-ooh
(?)
Drive away with you
*** Thanx a lot to Stan for this one ***
( On ATB / Two worlds LP )
I could
feel you're across the miles of my body
Almost physical, spiritual
Like there was no separation
Like you were right beside me
Like a river
I can feel forever in my mind
I can always reach for you inside
We can stay together in our minds
Feel you like a river,
Never die
Ooh ooh ooh ...
Remember the bridge we crossed
Leaning out over the water,
With the sun streamin' in
Through the leaves
We can keep it alive,
It's just energy
I can feel forever in my mind
I can always reach for you inside
We can stay together in our minds
Feel you like a river,
Never die
Ooh ooh ooh ...
And I feel I feel I feel you
Like a river
And I feel I feel I feel you,
Like a river
I can feel forever in my mind
I can always reach for you inside
We can stay together in our minds
Feel you like a river,
Never die
Ooh ooh ooh ...
And I feel I feel I feel you,
Like a river
And I feel I feel I feel you,
Like a river
And I feel I feel I feel you,
Like a river
( The First Recording EP )
The leaves have turned and she has not
And she tells me she can't let him go
And she looks to the moon for answers
And she looks inside and she knows
She dresses by the window
Finds reflection in the pane
She looks towards the winter
And her hair falls around her like rain
She's sighing with September
She would like to run and hide
She's wrapped up in confusion
She unfolds like paper dolls
But she's flying as she falls
The birds have gone and she has not
For she follows the arc of their flight
And the softness has gone from the daylight
And the shadows have grown into night
She's sighing with September
She would like to run and hide
She's wrapped up in confusion
She unfolds like paper dolls
But she's flying as she falls
Soon will come cool October
It will rise all around her like fire
And she gathers her courage like harvest
And she gathers her thoughts and desires
She's sighing with September
She would like to run and hide
She's wrapped up in confusion
She unfolds like paper dolls
But she's flying as she falls
She will not run and hide
She will take it all in stride
And she will
She will
She will be flying as she falls
( The First Recording EP )
Comes a wind, carried from the south
Comes a rain, turns up the corners of my mouth
And I like this wide open view
But I'm not looking further than you
Come's a stranger, wants to know my name
Come tomorrow, ooh, I'll still feel the same
And I like this wide open view
But I'm not looking further than you
Oh, on a day like this
You can see forever, but that's okay
Cause I like this wide open view
But I'm not looking further than you
Comes a moon, floating like a fish
Comes a first star, ooh
Who'd have thought it'd come to this
And I like this wide open view
But I'm not looking further than you
Further than you
And I like this wide open view
But I'm not looking further than you
Grow Young
( London Rain EP )
Sitting here on the water's edge
Now that the storm is gone
First time in years it feels like
Nothing's wrong
There've been a lot of changes
I was so lost for a while
Sitting here I remember
How it's easy to smile
Oh let me grow young
Like a brand new day
Like I've just begun
Like a shiver like a rush
Like a soul I might touch
Let me grow young
Nobody to tell me where to go
Nobody to call
Just me and the kiskedees
And my guitar
Oh let me grow young
Like a brand new day
Like I've just begun
Like a shiver like a rush
Like a soul I might touch
Let me grow young
Gotta try to remember this feeling
Gotta store it up inside
Bring it out when it's cold in the city
And I'm worried and tired
Oh let me grow young
Like a brand new day
Like I've just begun
Like a shiver like a rush
Like a soul I might touch
Let me grow young
Higher Ground
( 7Sky magazine
Exclusive song )
Why do I
Follow this heart of mine
Risk my life
Follow it every time
Ride the waves
Into the wild beyond
To bring you hope
That’s what I'm riding on
It’s what I see inside
I see in your eyes
I can pull you from the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
I can make it alright
But it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
Yeah it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
Why do I
Follow the call again
No one hears
But I can feel your pain
Worlds away
Everyone’s looking through
Glory fades
But it’s what I am to you
It’s what I see inside
I see in your eyes
I can pull you from the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
I can make it alright
But it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
Yeah it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground, yeah
It's you, it's you, it's you
I can pull you from the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
I can make it alright
But it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
Yeah it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
Yeah it’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s you
Who lifts me to higher ground
( Walk this world EP )
Take me home
Send me on a ship
My life leaves me
Homesick
Home
I forget myself
Home
I can't let myself
Let myself go
Miss my baby bones
I know the way they felt
I've been aching
For mother's milk
Home
I forget myself
Home
I can't let myself
Let myself go
And I wanna be only bereft
And I wanna get smartest in my heart
Somebody to cut what I can't chew
Fill me up like it fills the room
Got my big girl
Body and shoes
Sometimes lately
Its hard to choose
Home (can't let myself go)
I forget myself
Home (can't let myself go)
I can't let myself go
Home (can't let myself go)
I forget myself
Home (can't let myself go)
I can't let myself
Let myself
Let myself
Let myself
Let myself go
I Have the
Touch
( Peter Gabriel Cover / The Craft Ost )
The time I like is the rush hour, 'cos I like the rush
The pushing of the people, I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion, do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and ... I have the touch
I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch
Only, only
Wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake hands, shake hands.
Any social occasion, hello, how do you do
All those introductions, I never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My hand moves out and ... I have the touch
Only, only
Wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact
Only, only
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands
Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette, the tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back, but nothing seems to please
I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
Tac-tacatac, tac-tacatac
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
Tac-tacatac, tac-tacatac
I need contact
Ah, Tac-tacatac
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact
I need contact
I'm on fire
( Bruce Springsteen Cover / Truth & Bone EP )
Hey little boy is your mum home
Did she go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire.
Tell me now baby is she good to you
Can she do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire.
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul.
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire.
In The Garden
( I'm no Angel EP )
In the garden
Was it peaceful
Did he show you how the marigolds grew
When he gave you
Liquorice Allsorts
With the thing he only shared with you
I don't remember, what it feels like
I only know that I don't wanna give it away
I don't remember, all the details
I only know that I don't wanna feel it today
In the garden, in the orange grove
Did he play the games you liked to play
By the fishpond
And the dragon-flies
With the things you swore you never say
I don't remember, what it feels like
I only know that I don't wanna give it away
I don't remember, all the details
I only know that I don't wanna feel it today
So turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
I don't want my body now
I don't want my body now
So turn the sun around
Around, around, around
I don't remember, what it feels like
I only know that I don't wanna give it away
I don't remember, all the details
I only know that I don't wanna feel it today
Turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
I don't want my body now
I don't want my body now
So turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
Around, around, around, around, around

I’m going to London
I’m sitting on a plane
I’m leaving my hometown
Making promises
Gazing at the sky
I’m going away for awhile
I’m going to smile
They pass us on and on
It’s a wonderful Sunday to fulfill a dream
Stop stealing a child
‘Cause this is what it's all about

Look, what we can do
Let our feelings go where I go
Look, what you make me do

I’m gaining the power
To see this day alone
Stop being so blue
Look to see what else’s goin’ on

Like a hurricane
( Neil Young Cover / Truth & Bone EP )
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
Somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I get so blown away.
I am just a dreamer, and you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That moment when time just slips away,
Between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I get so blown away.
Yeah yeah, hi hi, yeah, blown away
Yeah yeah, hi hi, yeah.
I am just a dreamer, and you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That moment when time just slips away,
Between us on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I get so blown away.
( On ATB / Two worlds LP )
Ooh, listen
Let it go
Hmm let it go
Everything
I believe it's all inside you
All the answers
Stripped it down
And see the light cut
Through the cry
I believe it takes a moment
Just to know it
Listen to the wind
Let go of the fear
Let go of everything
Let go of what's real
Love will find you
There you go, you're down again
Disbeliever
Hoping for a way to get through
Desire
Everything in life has shown you
It's so easy
Listen to the wind
Let go of the fear
Let go of everything
Let go of what's real
Love will find you
Let go of the fear
Let go of everything
Let go of what's real
Love will find you
I believe it's all inside inside you
All the answers
Stripped it down and see the light cut
Through the cry
I believe it takes a moment,
Just to know it
Listen to the wind
Let go of the fear
Let go of everything
Let go of what's real
Love will find you
Let go of the fear
Let go of everything
Let go of what's real
Love will find you
Love, let go, let go, let go, let go
Ooh ooh oooh...
Man In The Ocean
( I'm no Angel EP )
This is a song for the man who went down
This is a song for the man in the ocean
This is a heartbeat
This is a part of me
Everyone's reading in, in the papers
Feeling the fear and forgetting it later
This is a heartbeat
This is a part of me
This is the first step learning to fall
These are the wings, this is the call
This is the first kiss, bringing it home
This is the breath and the sex and the bones
And my hands, are full of life
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And my hands, are full of life
Oooh, you make me feel
And this is the curse to the wave, that threw you
This is the shame of the years I slept
This is the glory, these are the tears
This is the longing in your belly
This is the siren in your veins
This is the light in the eyes of angels
This is the dark in the heart of danger
And my hands, are full of life
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And my hands, are full of life
Oooh, you make me feel
We live forever our minds
A bit still we know there's never time
Enough to share the ones we loved
Enough to have to care to live above
I feel the chain that brings to time
I feel the way you left behind
I feel, this is a part of me
And my hands, are full of life
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And my hands, are full of life
Oooh, you make me feel
And I know how loud a heart can beat
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And I know, I know
Cause I've heard them scream
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
Many
Rivers To Cross
( Jimmy Cliff Cover / Heart & Shoulder EP )
Many rivers to cross
But I can`t seem to find
My way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it`s only my will
That keeps me alive
I`ve been licked
Washed up for years
And I merely survive
Because of my pride
And this loneliness won`t leave me alone
It`s such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I`m playing for time
There`ll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime.
And this loneliness won`t leave me alone
It`s such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah
Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross
( Blof feat. Heather
Nova )
Blof :
De zon, het zand, de hitte en de rustige rivier
De stilte en de droogte, en de leegte van dit hier
De hemel en de aarde, de weidsheid van het land
En de wijsheid van één man, dat is genoeg
Er is niets waar ik op wacht
Morgen blijft het nacht
Ik overdacht mijn zorgen en de wereld
En alle keren dat ik wakker lag
Ik besloot
Wat een mooie dag
Wat een mooie dag"
Heather Nova :
Valleys and hills
And all the world has brought me to this place
Yellow sky
In your own sea
Waiting in the wasted
There’s nothing to me now
The love that I’ve found
Is all I need.
There’s nothing that I’ve waited for
Think about the tides
And all the soil in the world
And all the time I lay awake at home
What a beautiful day x2
Blof / Heather Nova :
Er is niets waar ik op wacht / There’s nothing that I’ve waited for
Morgen blijft het nacht / Think about the sun
Ik overdacht mijn zorgen en de wereld / And all the soil in the world

Ik besloot
Wat een mooie dag / What a beautiful day
Wat een mooie dag / What a beautiful day
Blof / Heather Nova :
Er is niets waar ik op wacht / There’s nothing that I’ve waited for

Voor de dood
*** Thanx a lot to Chessimprov & Michel for this one ***
( The First Recording EP )
There's a barge going by on the river
Yellow against the blue
There's a bus driving up along the bridge
And it's red like the color of new love
And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come
There's a woman beside a window
Quiet against the street
There's a man beside a magazine stand
Looks like he's waiting to meet someone
And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come
And everything reminds me of you
Everything reminds me of you
And everything reminds me of things we used to do
Everything reminds me of you
And even though I miss you, I know we're through
And I need to find something new
And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come
There's a man playing guitar in the subway
Everything reminds me of you
Gentle against the crowd
Everything reminds me of you
There's a kid in the upstairs apartment
Everything reminds me of you
Plays his recorder, wakes me up from above
And I need new love
And I need true love
And I need to be held
And I need to be told
There's more to come
Everything reminds me of you
Nothing
( Heart & Shoulder EP )
The truth comes over me
Like wine, like summer heat
The world, it moves too fast
I miss my simple past
And I can see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing
Child, she knows it's good
She plays the way she should
Her days, they taste like lime
She moves in perfect time
And I can see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing, nothing, no
There's no promises
Today is all there is
And I can't see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing, oh nothing, nothing
*** Thanx to Luli who helped me with

( Virus of the mind EP )
It's like a chain reaction
Misunderstanding every word
It's like a train to nowhere
And everyone gets hurt
And maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to see it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye
We never go the distance
We just [..] in the dirt
And I could say I'm sorry
But I want you to say it first
And maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to see it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye
This is so stupid
This is all so lame
This is so stupid
Playing these games
Everything is unfocused
Everything is stained
This is so stupid
Playing these games
Well I could learn to fake it
And you could learn to bruise
And maybe we can make it
But then it's easier to lose
And maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to see it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye
This is so stupid
This is all so lame
This is so stupid
Playing these games
Everything is unfocused
Everything's in pain
This is so stupid
Maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to feel it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye

Heather Nova ( Christine ) :
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Midge Ure ( The Phantom ) :
Once sing again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
Heather Nova :
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
Midge Ure :
It's me they hear
Midge Ure / Heather Nova :
Your/my spirit and your/my voice,
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
Offstage voices:
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Beware the Phantom of the Opera
Midge Ure :
In all your fantasies,
You always knew
That man and mystery
Heather Nova :
Were both in you
Midge Ure / Heather Nova :
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Here inside your/my mind
Midge Ure :
Sing for me
Heather Nova :
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Midge Ure :
Sing for me
Heather Nova :
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Photograph
( Exclusive dvd song )
I slipped in, into warm water,
Into those hands,
Up through the delta
Up through the fog, like a hungry dog.
It's like a photograph. It's like a dream I had
Vivid and fading fast, it was never meant to last.
The lilies were blooming; a hundred of them
Intoxicating me - filling the room,
The city below us, lit up like Christmas,
Hanging on every word of your foreign tongue.
It's like a photograph. It's like a dream I had
Vivid and fading fast, it was never meant to last
So take a picture from the ceiling,
All the colours in me bleeding
It's like a photograph, it's like a photograph
So take a picture of the feeling
All the colours in me reeling
It's like a photograph, it's like a photograph
Leave it behind you, a skid mark in the dust
A storm on your pillow
Put it down to lust
( ATB featuring Heather
Nova )
Take care, cause I'm coming in
I see my shadow and I don't know when
I'm alive with you
And it feels so true
We don't need shelter in this sky
Bring back the storms that made us high
I'm alive with you
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm searching too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm hurting too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you
Sweetheart, this world it makes no sense
Sweetheart, this world it makes no sense
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart...
Sweetheart, this world it makes no sense
No pot of gold incense
I'm alive with you
We don't need shelter on this sky
Bring back the storms that made us high
But we're alive
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm searching too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm hurting too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you
Find a dream, we'll take it all together
Find a dream cause you're the one I need
Find a dream, cause we won't live forever
Find a dream
Baby, I'm a renegade
Baby, I'm a renegade
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Run with me, we'll take it all together
Run with me, cause you're the one I need
Run with me, cause we won't live forever
Run with me
With me
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you
Baby, I'm a renegade like you
Baby, I'm hurting' too
Been around the world
Now I'm running back to you

My life is a chain of
islands
My life is a string of pearls
Every heartbeat is a new beginning
And each breath brings a whole new world
I was born at the end of an evening
The day I die will be a brand new day
If my song is one star shining
Then my symphony is the Milky Way
I know the stars by the space between them
You can't have islands without the sea
Pure thin air is what defines me
I can't be real if I can't float free
Mmm ooh
Oo-ooh ooh
I feel your touch when we're not touching
The feeling's strongest when the feeling's gone
My life is a chain of islands
Land for a moment, then sail on
Sail on
Sail on
Land and sail on
Sail on
Sail on
Land and sail on
Sail, ooh
Land and sail on

Ship Song
( Nick Cave Cover / London Rain EP )
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, darling
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, darling
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
( Sandy Dillon f/ Heather Nova
- Nobody's Sweetheart LP )
Take a look on down by the shoreline.
Baby ask me ??
??? most days
I walk inside ?? your face
If I could eat
If I could sleep
If I could force myself to weep
If I had faith
If I had hope
If we had time
By the shoreline
Heather Nova background :
Walk along the road
there's no end today
Try to walk the beach
Try to care.
Heather Nova background:
Somebody swims
Somebody drowns
(Heather Nova crooning)
Somebody
Heather Nova echoes in background :
If I could eat
If I could sleep
If I could force myself to weep
If I had faith
If I had hope
If we had time
Heather Nova continues to echo in background:
If I could weep
If I could stay
If I could find another man
If I could sing
into the lake
??
Heather Nova :
The lake
Heather Nova echoes in background :
If I could force the sand to weep
If I had hope
If we had time
Heather Nova continues echoes in background :
If we could weep
If I could stay
If I could find another way
If I could sing
into the wind

Eskobar :
So is it goodbye?
Is it time to set you free?
Heather Nova :
Is it time to let it fly?
Heather nova & Eskobar :
Is it time to let it bleed
Eskobar :
We used to take turns
To cover up the pain
Heather Nova :
Deep below it burns
And the fellin' still remains
Eskobar :
You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on thru,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you
Eskobar :
Yes we gave it a try
Heather nova & Eskobar :
But maybe for too long
Out of every sorrow
Another day will dawn

You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on thru,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you

And the road travels on
But I'm still near you
In my life, like a song
I will still hear you
Still

Straight To
Hell
( Clash Cover / The Clash Tribute LP )
If you can play on the fiddle
How's about a British reel?
Speaking in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel
Water froze
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There ain't no need for you
There ain't no need for you
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell boys
You wanna join in a chorus
Of the Amerasian blues
When it's Christmas in Ho Chi Minh
Oh poppa San take me home
See me got a photograph of you Mamma-san
Oh poppa San take me home
Oh take me home
Straight to hell
Go straight to hell
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell
Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
Wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Could be any hemisphere
And no man's land
And there ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived 'round here
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell
Straight to hell boys

Stayin' Alive
( Bee Gees Cover / Live song 2001 )
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's all right. It's Ok
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Life goin' nowhere
Somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere
Somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right. It's Ok
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Stayin' alive

Sweet november.. you stole my heart
I let it go with all the fear and doubt
Sweet november.. you opened my mind
With all the sweetness that you left behind
And I'm living, with a vision of you
All the days grow colder, but I know
It's not the way I'm holding on but how I'm letting go
And how I will remember
Sweet november
And now you're with me
You're with me in the sun
I'm a baby in a world that's just begun
And now you're with me
You're with me in the rain
I'm so glad that I will never be the same
Cause I'm living with a vision of you
All the leaves are falling, falling down like snow
It's not the way I'm holding on it's how I'm letting go
But how, I will remember
Sweet november
Sweet november

These walls
( The First Recording EP )
In your heart, there are oceans
In your heart, there are flowering trees
Look inside, it lives inside these walls
Your body is
In your dreams, you've seen castles
In your dreams, you've been kings and queens
You've ridden white horses past these walls
Your body is
And I'm not one to say I know what you go through
I only want to
Open wide the window and let sunlight through
For you
In your face, I see longing
In your face, I see hopes and fears
And you've been locked for too long behind these walls
Your body is
I'm not one to say I know what you go through
I only want to
Open wide the window and let sunlight through
For you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What you feel
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What you need
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Everything
Take my hand and I'll lead you
Take my word that I'll not deceive you
And I only want to carry you on beyond these walls
Your body is
I'm not one to say I know what you go through
I only want to
Open wide the window and let sunlight through
For you

( Together As One EP )
The wind is up, I'll take
you with me
We'll ride the waves and build a dream together
We'll set the sails and as in life
We'll take each turn; the fair and stormy weather
Cause it's in our hearts, it's in our minds
With only our fears to leave behind
And we'll be sailing to get there
Sailing to come back home
Sailing, sailing
Together we can learn to live as one
We are an island in the sea
We are all sailors you and me, remember
So like our fathers did before
Let's weigh the anchors and explore together
Cause it's in our blood, it's in our veins
We're taking it back to win again
And we'll be sailing to get there
Sailing to come back home
Sailing, sailing
Together we can learn to live as one
We have the chance to shine (we have the chance to shine)
To pull together, leave our differenes behind
Cause it's in our hearts, it's in our souls
Just as they did in days of old
Take up the challenge of the sea
And we can set our mind and spirits free
Cause we'll be sailing to get there
Sailing to come back home
Sailing, sailing
Together we can learn to live as one
Yeah, together we can learn to live as one

( Live )
I walked along the shore
today
Stood lookin’ out across the bay
Took off my shoes pulled back my hair I
Looked into the water there
Thought about my life and where I had to go
And what I know now
I feel older
Than I must be
Still the wonder stirs me up I
Still my dreams are pullin’ at me
Things I want to feel and see
Thought about the passing time
Of what we’re really trying to find
Where we go when we’re gone
I just can’t walk it on
Up to the rocks I waited you
Above my ankles and my shoes
I felt the sand beneath my feet weak
Take the bitter with the sweet
Take the pain in search of joy
I’m still the child I was inside
Emotions that I tried to hide
*** Thanx a lot to Stan for this one ***
Water From Wine
( London Rain EP )
I've lost my headlights
Dark lets me see too much
And i'm just groping
for anything to touch
Am I a seabird
I have the strangest cry
Am i just drifting
Am i too far inside
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
I can hear thunder
But I am made of stone
I'm reaching out
I'm reaching out but I'm still alone
I look for my body
but it just disappears
Nodody knows me
Everything feels like years
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
I look for joy
It's in the cracks sometimes
I can hear music
but it's been locked inside
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
Every night owns me, nothing is holy
Every night owns me, nothing is holy
We Can Work
It Out
( Beatles Cover - I am Sam OST )
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short
And there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short
And there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
