Jazz great Charlie Haden has reared musically gifted sons and daughters who, interestingly, have not followed Dad's jazz footsteps, but opted for alternative rock turf instead. Petra Haden has done so in that dog. (sic), and Josh Haden, though he plays the same instrument as his father, leads Spain. Spain do have some decided jazz influences, particularly in the refined, spacious arrangements and precise rhythm section, both of which reflect the influence of cool/lounge jazz. But they are most definitely a rock band, performing songs with lyrics and vocals in a sedate but moody style that bears some resemblance to the work of early Cowboy Junkies, or (more vaguely) the Velvet Underground's third album. The songs are slow, but not quite lethargic; reflective, but not quite depressed; moody, but not chilly. Their 1995 debut, The Blue Moods of Spain, was a promising effort, handicapped by the lack of a strong vocalist. As of its release, they were primarily a studio act that had rarely performed live, as its members lived in separate cities; they did not regroup for another record until 1999's She Haunts My Dreams. Two years later I Believe surfaced.

They say life
Is never fair
That love's so far away
But I know babe
It's so true
It's so true
I know that
You feel so alone
And you cry yourself to sleep
But I know babe
It's so true
It's so true

They say fate
Plays cruel jokes
And keeps love from you
But I know babe
It's so true
It's so true
I know that
You feel so alone
And you cry yourself to sleep
But I know babe
It's so true
It's so true

Ten Nights

Storybook fable is ending
As ten angels are descending
I forget that you are my only friend

Love is my only devotion
Ten little steps to the ocean
Ten nights to decide
Whether I can live alone

Ten nights all alone
Praying you haven't gone
I can't stop love
I can't erase
What's been written down

Storybook fable is ending
As ten angels are descending
I forget that you are my only friend

Dreaming Of Love

But the cruelest thing
Was all my suffering
When I held you that night
I knew it felt so right
I knew it felt so right

She knew it was all over
When she turned her back
On her used-to-been
She knew it was all over

When she turned from him
She turned to me
But what was there to say
I see that you've been crying

Your old man's arms
Like to bear their fists
But my arms have hands like
The graceful mist

Please forgive
Me for what I've done
But you know I would've done it
Like I did before

Blue is the color of the sky
Blue is the color of her eyes
Blue is the color of the mountains
Blue is the color of the sea
Of the sea

Blue is the color of the sky
Blue is the color of her eyes
Blue is the color of the mountains
Blue is the color of the sea
Of the sea

I Lied

Holding hands down by the shore
And I know God knows it feels so fine
Holding hands down by the shore
And I know God knows it feels so fine

Holding you in my arms
In my bed God knows it feels so fine
Holding you in my arms
In my bed God knows it feels so fine

She Haunts My Dreams

I'm Leaving You

Made up
My mind
Tonight I'm leaving you

No love
To find
Tonight I'm leaving you

Nothing to say
Nothing left you can do

Tonight I'm leaving you

Don't need
Your lies
Tonight, tonight I'm through

Don't want
Goodbyes
Tonight, tonight I'm through

You can hold on
You can, it's up to you

Tonight I'm leaving you
Tonight I'm leaving you

It's All Over

It's all over now
He knew from the start
It was in the way
She walked and the way she moved

It's all over now
She told him somehow
It was in the way
She softly turned her head

It's all over now
And now she’s free
Free to find another love

It's all over now
And when shes alone
She remembers her first love
From so long ago

It's all over now
How she thinks of him
And of what it would be like
If he were to call

It's all over now
And now shes free
Free to find another love

Before It All Went Wrong

There must be a way
To feel like I used to feel before
Before it all went wrong

Before I thought that love
Could never be
Before I felt your body
Next to me

There must be a way
To get back to where we were before
Before it all went wrong

Before I thought that love
Could never be
Before I felt your body
Next to me

Hoped and Prayed

In those days
I was all alone
I was all alone

In those days
I was all alone
I was all alone

I was all alone

Met a girl
And I hoped and prayed
That she wasn't the one

Met a girl
And I hoped and prayed
That she wasn't the one

That she wasn't the one

I hoped and prayed
That God wouldnt make
Her the one

In those days
Didn't know about love
Didn't know about love

In those days
Didn't know about love
Didn't know about love

Didn't know about love

Met a girl
But I turned her away
I was so young

Met a girl
But I turned her away
I was so young

I was so young

I hoped and prayed
That God wouldnt make
Her the one

Waiting For You To Come

It was love
Only love
Only love

Oh then why
Do I feel
So alone

Love
Only love
It's only love

I'm waiting for you to come

It was you
Only you
Only you

Oh then why
Did I cry
The whole night through

Love
Only love
It's only love

I'm waiting for you to come

Easy Lover

Easy lover
What are you trying to say
Made love now we have to pay

Easy lover
What are you trying to do
Made love now we'll see this through

Easy lover
What is there left to see
Easy lover
Now you know what it takes
To satisfy me

Easy lover
It ain't so easy now
Love just works this way somehow

Easy lover
You know it has to end
Now we can't remain just friends

Easy lover
What is there left to see
Easy lover
Now you know what it takes
To satisfy me

Bad Woman Blues

Some people say she is cursed
More trouble than she is worth
More trouble than she will ever be worth

I knew I could get away
Knew it wasn't good to stay
Knew it wouldn't ever be good to stay

I couldn't leave her if I tried
For I have touched her deep inside
Why can't these people understand
Why I am so sad, so sad

They ask me if I can see
She'll lead to the death of me
She'll lead someday to the death of me

But they may have overlooked
That I have become so hooked
That I have now become so hooked

I couldn't leave her if I tried
For I have touched her deep inside
Why can't these people understand
Why I am so sad, so sad

Nobody Has To Know

Nobody has to know
Girl we've fallen so in love
It was just a year ago
And you've kept it to yourself

Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know

Nobody has to know
Girl our love has grown so strong
Close the shades unplug the phone
How can our love be so wrong

Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know

Nobody has to know
Girl we've fallen so in love
It was just a year ago
And you've kept it to yourself

Nobody has to know
Nobody has to know

Every Time I Try

I want to hold you
But every time I try
Something keeps you
Out of reach

I want to love you
But every time I try
Something keeps
Love away

And I can feel it

So love me right now
Though it won't last
Girl don't make me try
‘Cause I'll lose you forever
Every time
Every time

And every time I try
To put our love out
Like a fire
You keep me in your reach

And every time I try
To throw away my desire
You hold me
So close

And I can feel it

So love me right now
Though it won't last
Girl don't make me try
‘Cause I'll lose you forever
Every time
Every time

Our Love Is Gonna Live Forever

Tonight's the night
That we're alone
So baby turn the lights down low

Girl our love is gonna live
Forever

All it took was just
One kiss
You're the one I'm gonna miss

Girl our love is gonna live
Forever

Soon we will be far apart
But girl you've gone and
Touched my heart
And tomorrow
I'm gonna love you
Just like I do today
Today

Oh the feelings never went away
Like she did
Now she haunts all my dreams

Oh love's traces left in memories
I was once alone
Now she haunts all my dreams

Now she haunts all of my dreams
Now she haunts them all

Oh I thought I saw her yesterday
Thought our eyes met
Now she haunts all my dreams

Oh I tried so hard not to believe
I held her
Now she haunts all my dreams

Now she haunts all of my dreams
Now she haunts them all
Now she haunts all of my dreams
Now she haunts them all

Now she haunts all of my dreams
Now she haunts them all
Now she haunts all of my dreams
Now she haunts them all

Born To Love Her

Tell me why
She Makes Me Wait

She's wasting time
And tempting fate

Why can't she see
That her search is in vain

I was born to love her
I was born to love her

Tell me why
She's so afraid

What destiny hides
Is locked away

Why can't she see
That her destiny came

I was born to love her
I was born to love her

I was born to love her
I was born to love her
I was born to love her
I was born to love her

Your Were Meant For Me

Last night
Was just like a dream

Oh girl
You were meant for me

You were meant for me
You were meant for me

All night
Girl we were so close

Oh girl
You needed love the most

You needed love the most
You needed love the most

Last night
Was just like a dream

Oh girl
You were meant for me

You were meant for me
You were meant for me

Do You See The Light

Don't it feel so right
Oh don't it feel so right

The lord let there be light
Oh don't it feel so right

Oh don't it feel so right
Surrounded by the light

Won't need no sleep tonight, tonight
Just kiss me girl and hold me tight

Oh don't you see the light
Girl it shines so bright

Won't need no sleep tonight, tonight
Just kiss me girl and hold me tight

Won't need no sleep tonight, tonight
Just kiss me girl and hold me tight

Make Your Body Move

Two o'clock
You're all alone
Starting from across the room

Come right here
Girl you know
Just what our love can do

We don't have
To take it slow
Talking all the whole night trough

I just want
To take you home
And make your body move

Make your body move

Girl you'll feel
Your loneliness
Drifting away from you

And you'll see
This love exists
We found a love so true

Now we have
Happiness
It's what out love will prove

I just wan't
To kiss your lips
And make your body move

I Believe

Could it be
That no one else
Could make me see
Could make me trust

Girl you know now I believe
Girl your love
Has taken hold of me
Now I know
This love was meant to be

Could it be
You feel so right
You made me see
Day comes from night

Girl you know now I believe
Girl your love
Has taken hold of me
Now I know
This love was meant to be

Girl you know now I believe
Girl your love
Has taken hold of me
Now I know
This love was meant to be

Now I know
This love was meant to be

Oh That Feeling

Girl
Oh that feeling
That was the love
You've been needing

Girl
Your heart's beating
Faster now
You ain't dreaming

Yes it was
That was love

Don't let it slip away
Love's there for you to take
Stop playing these games with fate

Girl
You've been waiting
You feel so much
Has been forsaken

Girl
Your heart's aching
For the touch
Love's awakened

Yes it was
That was love

Don't let it slip away
Love's there for you to take
Stop playing these games with fate
Oh girl before it's too late

If We Kissed

I know
If we kissed
Then love
Would follow

Follow
Through the rain
And the snow

I know
If we touched
We'd lose
Our sorrow

Sorrow
Oh the rain
Could never know

Sorrow
Oh the rain
Could never know

Long Time Ago

One time long ago
When the sun had dimmed it's glow
When the clouds were filled with
Rain and cold

That was a long time
That was a long time
A long time ago

Love has left me all alone
Her secrets left they're better left untold
Why oh why she left I'll never know

But that was a long
That was a long time
A long time ago

That was a long time
A long time ago

I Love You

If I could
I'd put away my sorrow
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow
To let you know how I feel

If I could
I'd look you in the eyes
And it wouldn't be a surprise
I would know what to say

But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do

Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you

But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise always to keep
This broken heart that wants you

If I could
Every time you held me close
Remembering when love at most
Burned in flames
Died away

If I could
I'd take you by the hand
And I'm sure you'd understand
Why it is I want you so

But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do

Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you

But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise always to keep
This broken heart that wants you

Phone Machine

I got a message tonight
It was on my machine
She said, I quote,
'Hope you're not asleep
'Cause I'm in my bed
And the lights are dim
And the air is hot
So won't you come on in

I got a message tonight
It was on my machine
But I got home too late
I couldn't even see
That the stars above
Deter me from love
'Cause she's in her bed
And the lights are dim
And the air is hot
So won't you come on in

Died At Calvary

Holy holy Jesus
Everlasting peace
Walked across the water
Died at Calvary
Oh lord how he died
At Calvary

Jesus up in Heaven
Wanting only you
Save me from temptation
Oh lord walk me through
The ruins

Holy holy Jesus
When you took your
First step across the sand
To the place up in Heaven
From the promised land
Oh lord how he left the promised land

Holy holy Jesus
Everlasting peace
Walked across the water
Died at Calvary
Oh lord how he died
At Calvary
