Here are most of the lyrics to these songs, which I figured out myself.
Halah
Well, I think I see another side,
maybe just another light that shines.
And I look over now, through the door,
and I still belong to no one else.
Maybe I hold you to blame
for all the reasons that you left.
And close my eyes, still I see your surprise,
and you're leavin' before my time.
Baby, won't you change your mind?
Surely, don't stay long.
I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you
I'm over you somehow.
Before I close the door,
I need to hear you say goodbye.
Baby, won't you change your mind?
I guess that hasn't changed someone.
Maybe nobody else could understand.
I guess that you believe that you are a woman,
and that I am someone else's man.
But just before I see that you leave,
I want you to hold all the things that you said.
Baby, I wish I was dead.
Surely, don't stay long.
I'm missing you now.
It's like I told you
I'm over you somehow.
Before I close the door,
I need to hear you say goodbye.
Baby, won't you change your mind?
Blue Flower
Waitin' for a sign from you
waitin' for the signal to change
Have you forgotten what your love can do?
Is this the end?
Walkin' through the city,
your boots are high-heeled, and they're shinin' bright.
The sun was sparklin' on the shaft of your knife
Flower in the morning rain,
dyin' in my hands.
Was it all in vain?
Superstar in your own private movie,
I wanted just a minor part.
But I'm no fool
I know you're cool
I never really wanted your heart.
You're the keeper of the key.
Nothin' seems to bring you down.
It's not that cool when I'm around.
Flower in the morning rain, dyin' in my hands.
Was it all in vain?
Superstar in your own private movie,
I wanted just a minor part.
But I'm no fool.
I know you're cool.
I never really wanted your heart.
Ride it On
Ride it on, baby, into my view.
Ride it on, baby, into your sight.
Ride it on, baby, just like you used to do.
Did you want me to love you?
Well, I'm just here for the call.
And you said that you're so low.
Well, I won't really do you any harm.
Won't you ride it on, baby, just like you used to do?
There's no love that you're over feelin',
and you still wanna be with me.
But you're leavin' like you said that you would.
I'm awaitin' for the call.
And you love like you always say noww,
but you know it won't do you any harm.
Ride it on, baby, just like you know it's understood.
Ride it on, baby. It's still into your view.
Ride it on, baby. I only wanna be with you.
I'm dreamin' that you're goin' far,
and you like takin' wine.
Won't you ride it on, baby?
But you're so heavy filled with pride.
Ride it on, baby, just like you said that you would.
She Hangs Brightly
She hangs brightly from the tree,
wonders what she's done with me.
I'm the winner of the game.
Come and watch me, watch me comin' down.
Takes me down, deep and wide,
pulls me through to the other side.
She's the winner of the game.
Come and watch her, watch her comin' down.
It's safe that sour and true,
lies and love and stories, too.
She's the winner of the game.
Come and watch her, watch her comin' down.
Take me down,
deep and wide,
pull me through
to the other side.
Take me down,
deep and wide,
pull me through
to the other side.
I'm Sailin'
I'm sailin', sailin'
place I've never seen,
that's way down south
sweet ol' New Orleans
'cause my hometown friends
treat me awful mean.
If I could holler, yeah, holler.
If I could scream and cry,
it hurts me so when I look up in the sky
'cause my friends turn their heads
as they're passin' by.
Now it's rainin'. It's rainin',
the wind blowin' cold.
Lord, I thought I heard
that train whistle blow.
Now, I'm gonna sail so far
that I won't be back no more.
Pardon me, pardon me.
It's so hard to stand.
I ain't got no money.
Uncle Sam has called my man.
Now there's not a soul
to give me a helping hand.
Give You My Lovin'
Give you my lovin' seven days a week.
I'll be your honey if you'll be sweet.
I know I'm the only one for you.
I know that you think this is not true.
Man says it's rainin', rainin' outside.
I'll be out there in a little while
'cause you see, rain reminds me of you,
and everything has turned to you.
See you in places, I'm following you.
You'll be upstairs, and I'll be there, too.
Everywhere you go, I will follow.
I know it won't be the same tomorrow.
People give me warning, stay away from you.
They say you'll hurt me.
I don't think that's true.
Discomfort arouses when I speak with you,
as if you've been sayin' somethin' bad about me.
When I see you, I wanna kiss you,
but I know that ain't right, so I ask if I can hold you.
Oh, babe, I need you so bad.
Oh, babe, I only wanna make you glad.
Be My Angel
They say it's me that makes you do things
you might not have done if I was away,
and that it's me that likes to talk to you
and watches you as you walk away.
Don't say it's useless.
Don't say forget it.
Don't bring your wishes of silly dreams.
Just say it's all from too much freedom,
too many fingers, and too many fears.
They say it's you who washes the weary
and brings the night into the day.
If you don't notice, how can I show you
all of your worries have all gone away.
Don't leave me lonely.
Don't leave me unhappy.
Just bring me up into your fate.
If you don't need me, then don't deceive me,
letting my freedom turn into stone.
Just be my angel if you love me.
Be my angel in the night.
Be my angel 'cause you need me.
Be my angel, and treat me right.
Don't say lonely if you don't need me.
Don't send me roses on your behalf.
Just take me down and walk through your river,
down in the middle and make it last.
Holdin' on to you, holdin' on to me,
holdin' on tight 'till my love has crossed.
Don't say it's useless.
Don't say forget it.
You are my spirit, and I am your god.
Be My Angel
They say it's me that makes you do things
you might not have done if I was away
And that it's me that likes to talk to you
and watches you as you walk away.
Don't say it's useless.
Don't say forget it.
Don't bring your wishes of silly dreams
Just say it's all from too much freedom
Too many fingers and too many fears.
They say it's you who washes the weary
and brings the night into the day.
If you don't notice, how can I show you
all of your worries have all gone away.
Don't leave me lonely.
Don't leave me unhappy
Just bring me up into your faith
If you don't need me, then don't deceive me,
letting my freedom turn into stone.
Just be my angel if you love me.
Be my angel in the night
Be my angel 'cause you need me
Be my angel and treat me right.
Don't say lonely if you don't need me
Don't send me roses on your behalf
Just take me down and walk through your river
down in the middle and make it last.
Holdin' on to you, holdin' on to me
Holdin' on tight 'till my love has crossed.
Don't say it's useless
Don't say forget it
You are my spirit, and I am your god.
Taste of Blood
Red, oh red, the taste of blood on lips of wine.
We're so tired, wait a minute, or just a little while
but are you lookin' for the taste of red,
the taste of fear in your stunningly convincing smile?
Red, oh red, the taste of blood on lips of wine
The time is waitin', baby,
takes away from yours and mine (yours and mine)
Say you're slippin' wait a (?)
It's not easy, now you know
Give You My Lovin'
Give you my lovin' seven days a week.
I'll be your honey if you'll be sweet.
I know I'm the only one for you.
I know that you think this is not true.
Man says it's rainin', rainin' outside.
I'll be out there in a little while
'cause you see, rain reminds me of you,
and everything has turned to you.
See you in places, I'm following you.
You'll be upstairs, and I'll be there, too.
Everywhere you go, I will follow.
I know it won't be the same tomorrow.
People give me warning, stay away from you.
They say you'll hurt me, I don't think that's true.
Discomfort arouses when I speak with you,
as is you've been sayin' somethin' bad about me.
When I see you I wanna kiss you
But I know that ain't right, so I ask if I can hold you.
Oh, babe, I need you so bad.
Oh, babe, I only wanna make you glad.
Ghost Highway
You're a ghost on the highway,
and I love you forever
ghost on the highway,
and I love you forever
Forever and ever
and ever and ever
Your eyes are an island,
and I'll hold you forever.
Your eyes are an island,
and I love you forever
Forever and ever
and ever and ever
You're a ghost on the highway,
and I love you forever
ghost on the highway,
and I love you forever
Forever and ever
and ever and ever.
Free
I fell asleep in the silence
before the streets fight the fire
Free in the world that you've given.
Lay in the sand with the water still calm. (still calm)
Afraid of the dark that surrounds me
hide in the dirt of the ground
Free of the will that surrounds me
I'm not afraid to sleep in the night,
not afraid to sleep in the night.
Free like a bird in the holders
holdin' the weight of the sun.
I know the road that you send me
I know the way leads to one.
Real like the bones in my body
Real like the flesh that covers the grape
and it's real like the flesh that covers the grape.
Waitin' for the guards that you send me
Before I (?) show you myself
Wait for the storm that comes to me
Maybe I'll just change my mind.
Plea for the will of forgiveness
I'm not afraid to say I was wrong
I was wrong
Maybe I was
so wrong
so wrong
Before I Sleep
If it's the truth, that's all I know.
I'll look for you, and just say no.
The life that was is now the last
I'll go for you.
Before I sleep, I'll hear you say
you say
I stay near the edge and waste my time,
just waste my time.
