First Say Good Night
02:52
|
|||
|
This dream I had of you, as if
You were there, I didn't dare to wake up
This dream I had of things to come
Was so real, as though I could feel you
Chorus:
Why are the best parts of my life
When I'm not awake, when I'm tucked out of sight
When it all feels right, to keep dreams alive
It seems I must surely first say good night
The dreams I have of life as how it could be
Are just moment’s that flee
I know it sounds weird, or I'm out a my head
Maybe this is how it is when you're dead
I could go anywhere, I hadn't a care
I could float through the air
Take me back there

A Long, Long Way
02:45
|
|||
|
It's a long, long way before I'll get there
Yes a long, long way before I'll home
Chorus:
I never felt so sure that things are so unsure
I didn't know it'd take so much time to return
It feels a long, long way before I'll get there
Time is running short, can anybody hear me
If I scream and if I shout?
Forever seems a day when I'm so far away from my truth
To Chorus
You live and love and learn
But knowing what I know now fills me with concern
Gone is the day when I can easily say, “thing’s will be OK”
Chorus:
I never felt so sure that things are so unsure
I didn't know it'd take so much time to return
It's a long, long way before I'll get there
Yes a long, long way before I'll home
It feels a long, long way before I'll get there

Far Too Crazy
03:44
|
|||
|
I could be going crazy
It all just seems so absurd
I talk to myself, while my whole life sits on a shelf
I could be goin' crazy
Time has shifted nothing, seems the same
When I really look it couldn't seem more insane
I listen to the blues, while the earth licks her wounds
A small price to pay but I'm goin' crazy
Chorus:
It could all be in the stars
But life here is more like on Mars
I got it bad, I think I'm going crazy
3
Tell me there is not a sinister plot
Filling us with poison while we count down the clock
Yet the rainbows appear, but they won't let me out a here
Conspiracy and fear the world gone crazy
4
Am I just bein' made a fool?
By the ones who think they'll continue to rule?
It's gotten all so mixed up, nobody's sure anymore what they got
but this won't finish me off, let me tell you what's crazy
Chorus 2:
It could all be in the stars
But life here is more like on Mars
Save the world from itself
For it's far too crazy
Save the world from itself
For it's far too crazy

I felt my heart rise over the city tonight
Eyes opened wide for the lights are so bright
Chorus:
Anything is possible when we open our minds
Dreams aren't just dreams they possibilities you call on
This year’s been a cold one and look to the new
Nothing to hold on to, I've done all I can do
To Chorus
Bridge:
Let the snow fall, let the wind push and pull
I'm not going anywhere, all I need is right here this year, with you
Write a new chapter in our lives, starting now
Celebrate everything and your heart it knows how
To Chorus

It's Not OK
02:55
|
|||
|
Here today, suddenly you're away
I just got up to find we broke up
Chorus:
I'll find my way through the day
It's not OK, just not OK
That you left me I didn't get my say
Now alone to face the unknown
You turn your back as I fall through the cracks
|

Do You Really Care?
02:48
|
|||
|
Do you really want this?
Do you really dare?
Does it really matter?
If you treat me fair?
Do you really care?
If you go and break me
If you then go un-make me
Will you rattle cages?
Open a box of despair?
Do you really care?
You became my alter
No life could compare
I gave you every ocean
You left me desert air
But do you really care?
I loved my life around you
I loved all that we'd share
Like books with torn out pages
The story still is there
Do you really care?

Wake Up to the Call
02:32
|
|||
|
If you look around you, and
See how things have been
The lights are sadly dimming
Come turn them on again
Chorus:
An uprising is not surprising, revolution is evolution
Stop what you are doing, an wake up to the call
Wake up to the call
Head the strength in number
Let the beginning begin
We road that path behind us
Not going back again
Chorus:
An uprising is not surprising, revolution is evolution
Stop what you are doing, an wake up to the call
Wake up to the call

All the Love & Grace
03:04
|

|
You zipped my coat right up in the winter
Then taught me how to lace up my shoe
You came to see the shows when I were in 'em
I knew you would, I counted on you
You came through, as mothers do, you came through
Mother when you're might be feelin' down
I'll do my best to bring some flowers 'round
'Cause you been there through thick and thin
Mending scratches, keeping me in line
Mother when you look at me you shine
Your love for me I know don't end with time
You wrote the book on how to survive
Saving every penny, nickel or dime
"This child of mine," you'd say with pride
"This child of mine," I don't know why
Mother you are always on my mind
My gratitude is oceans deep and wide
For bringing me into this life, making sure I get it right
Mmm
All the love and grace
Mother all because of you
My children have someone to look up to
An' all the love and grace you've shone
Never ever have I felt alone
Mmm

More Than You Wanted
02:55
|
|||
|
I'm far from being perfect, far from being right
Far from the one you wanted, an’ I ain’t givin’ up on site
Chorus:
I loved you more than you ever wanted
loved you through and through
I loved you more than you needed
And I won't be giving up any time soon
Don't expect me to reason
Don't think you'll be getting through
‘Cause all that I ever wanted, is me to be loving you
You say it's too late for affection, you say you have too much to do
But I see in your eyes you're just gamin', C'mon let my love overcome you

Left to Wonder
03:51
|
|||
|
Left to wonder where it’s going
Left to wonder about tonight
Left to wonder what you’re thinking
Left to wonder if we’re tight
I’ve the afternoon with you tomorrow
You’ve a lover with you tonight
I know I know
I know all the boundaries
I been told it’s OK, just don’t hold on too tight
You’ll find me tonight
At home with a single shot-glass in the living room
Left to wonder buy you flowers
Left to wonder how to say "good night"
Left to wonder what your doing´
Left to wonder where you get the right?
I know I know
I know all the boundaries
I been told it’s OK, just don’t hold on to tight
You’ll find me tonight
At home with a bottle of red and in bed
just a little too soon
I survive on you’re inconsistent attention
Like grains a hope sprinkled in my direction
We’re nobody if you don’t feel the soul connection
Mmm
No connection
Mmm
Left to wonder about the cards you're dealing
Left to wonder why you left me feeling
what I’m feeling
I know I know
I know all the boundaries, yeah
I been told it’s OK, just don’t hold on to tight
You’ll find me tonight
At home with a bottle of red and in bed
Just a little too soon
I survive in the shadow of your decision
I thought that I'm the one for you
Until you found a new obsession, no
We're nobody, nobody, nobody
If you don't feel the connection
No connection
Left to wonder about the cards you're dealing
Left to wonder why you left me feeling
What I’m feeling
