B i o g r a p h y 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. |

The
Blue Moods Of Spain
It's So True
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
Lost my way
It's alright
Lost my way
It's alright
I've been dreaming
Of love
And we're so close
And we're so near
Oh when we touch
Oh we'll disappear
Lost my way
I don't care
Lost my way
I don't care
I've been dreaming
Of love
And we're so close
And we're so near
Oh when we touch
Oh we'll disappear
Repeat Chorus X2
Untitled #1
Walked away
Released from all my crimes
Walked away
Released from all my crimes
But I could never hide
What I kept inside
Walked away
Released from all my sins
Walked away
Released from all my sins
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
Walked away
Released from all my crimes
Walked away
Released from all my crimes
But I could never hide
What I kept inside
Her Used-To-Been
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
And all they want to do
Is hold you
Ray Of Light
Ray of light
I never see
Through the passing clouds
Or through the trees
When you left
Into the pouring rain
I knew I would never
See you again
Ray of light
Won't shine through
When love is through
When love is through
Late one night
I heard you at my door
But I pretended like
I wasn't home
Please forgive
Me for what I've done
But you know I would've done it
Like I did before
Ray of light
Won't shine through
What can I do
What can I do
Repeat 1st verse & chorus
World Of Blue
Blue is such a cold shelter
Shelter

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

Of the sea
Blue is such a cold shelter
Shelter
Shelter
Blue is such a cold shelter
Shelter
Shelter
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

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
I said I loved you
I said I loved you
Holding hands down by the shore
Leaned over and whispered in your ear
But I lied
I lied
I couldn't love you if I tried
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
I said I loved you
I said I loved you
Holding you in my arms
In my bed I whispered in your ear
But I lied
I lied
I feel so dead inside
I couldn't love you if I tried

Jesus
I don't want to die
Alone
Jesus
Oh Jesus
I don't want to die
Alone
My love wasn't true
Now all I have is you
Jesus
Oh Jesus
I don't want to die
Alone
Jesus
If you hear
My last breath
Don't leave me here
Left to die a lonely death
I know I have sinned
But lord I'm suffering

Once again
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 shes 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
I
believe
She Haunts My Dreams
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

Oh girl
You were meant for me
You were meant for me
You were meant for me
All night

You needed love the most
Last night
Was just like a dream
Oh girl
You were meant for me
You were meant for me

Surrounded by the light

Just kiss me girl and hold me tight
Oh don't you see the light

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
