Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)

In a time where the sun descends alone,
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made out of stone.
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind,
To see the world through different eyes
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower
Tell me why?
When I scream there's no reply,
When I reach out there's nothing to find,
When I sleep I break down and cry , CRY...
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower
Fading like a rose,
Fading like a rose,
Beaten by the storm, talking to myself,
Getting washed by the rain, it's such a cold cold town.

Joyride

Hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump my car and be a rider
In the love game following the stars.
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon.
Oh she's the heart of the funfair,
She's got me whistling her private tune.
And it all begins where it ends,
And she's all mine, my magic friend
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you.
C'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride
She's a flower, I can paint her,
She's a child of the sun,
We're a part of this together,
Could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
Cos it all begins again when it ends,
And we're all magic friends
She says: hello, you fool, I love you.
C'mon join the joyride,
Be a joyrider
I take you on a skyride,
A feeling like you're spellbound.
The sunshine is a lady
Who rox you like a baby.: (Chorus)

Spending My Time

What's the time?
Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on but the only thing showing
Is a picture of you.
Oh I get up
And make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
In this shape I'm in
Spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you
Think of me too.
I'm spending my time
I try to call
But I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?
Spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you
Are missing me too
I'm spending my time,
Watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "Tears of a Clown",
A prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time
My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on, time will make sure
I'll get over you.
This silly game of love - you play, you win only to lose.: (chorus)

The rain

I was raised the northern way And my father had a northern name, I did my crying out in the pouring rain And a season turned into another one, Found a heart bright like the morning sun He touched my lips, (so softly) With his fingertips But I kept the rain falling down on me, all the time, all the time Oh I kept the rain falling down on me, all the time, all the time And some things in life won't ever change, There's a smell of a rusty chain And of love disappearing like an aeroplane Oooh, I've kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time I've kept the rain falling down on me, all the time, all the time, all of the time Oh, I've kept the rain falling down on me, all the time, all the time...

The voice

Between the open heart, And the whisper goodbye, There's a perfect teardrop in your eye, Between the lover's moon, And the trembling sky, There's a broken dream in your mind. And the voice is carryin' the love you have lost And the change of heart in someone you trust, Yeah, the voice is carryin' the love and the scars Hear the lonely voice in the dark. Between the careful touch, And the breakaway kiss, There's a beauty you can't resist Between the fall apart, And the moment of this, There must be something more than this. And your voice is carryin' the love you have lost And the change of heart in someone you trust, Yeah, the voice is carryin' the love and the scars Hear the lonely voice in the dark, In the dark. And your voice is carryin' the love you have lost And the change of heart in someone you trust, Yeah, the voice is carryin' the love and the scars Hear the lonely voice in the dark In the dark Lonely voice Lonely voice in the dark Lonely voice....

The secrets that she keeps

Keeps away from me
Keeps away from me
Keeps away from you

Whoa ooooh oh
Whoa ooooh oh
Whoa ooooh oh
Whoa ooooh oh

I move all right, I got the wheels going round,
Making waves in the night.
Yeah we're movin' all right,
Wipin' the rain from the ground
And the pale from the sky
But something happens in his heart
when the morning comes.

The secrets that she keeps away from me,
The tears on her pillow she don't want me to see,
When every little thing she does is for me
While somebody new is breaking us in two.

Whoa ooooh oh
Whoa ooooh oh
Whoa ooooh oh
Whoa ooooh oh

He's the kind of love
that makes a whirl in your mind,
Like the tide and the time.
With just a little bit o'soul
He fights to find peace of mind
In these shattering eyes
But something happens in his heart
When the morning comes.

The secrets that she keeps away from me,
The tears on her pillow she don't want me to see,
When every little thing she does is for me
But somebody new is breaking us in two

Secrets that she keeps away from me
The love of you and me
Secrets that she keeps away from me
The love of you and me
Secrets that she keeps...

Surrender

She knows I'd do anything she wants me to, The love she finds is deeper than the ocean She knows I'd do anything she wants me to, A river of dew, warmer than the dawning Surrender, tie the cover to the ground. Surrender, tie the cover to the ground. But don't turn around and walk away again Don't turn around and walk away again
He know's I'd say anything he wants to hear, Loud and clear calls the voice of lovers He know's I'd do anything he wants me to, Like ruby rain, I wash away the pain
Surrender, tie the cover to the ground Surrender, tie the cover to the ground But don't turn around and walk away again Don't turn me down and walk away again
Surrender, tie the cover to the ground Surrender, tie the cover to the ground But don't turn around and walk away again Don't turn me down and walk away...

Soul deep

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, My baby's coming back. Say a prayer, hide hide away Yea baby's coming back. (Hey Hey Hey) Ain't gonna trouble his wandering mind, Gonna take on the time To find out if my love is (Soul Deep) spinning the heart round a wire. (Soul Deep) heavenly wave. (Soul Deep) heating the heart like a fire. (Soul Deep) taking my breath away Save a tear till the curtain will fall, Well I'm saving them all for you Knock on wood, is it understood That I'm saving it up for you (Hey Hey Hey) Love is a hustle just a moment behind, Gonna walk on the line And find out if my love is (Soul Deep) spinning the heart round a wire. (Soul Deep) heavenly wave. (Soul Deep) heating the heart like a fire. (Soul Deep) taking my breath away
Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint My baby's coming back. Say a prayer, hide hide away Yea baby's coming back.

(Soul Deep) heavenly wave. (Soul Deep) heating the heart like a fire. (Soul Deep) taking my breath away

Small talk

It's not the chapters he reads when you're feeling low down It's not the touch of his skin when you kiss him goodnight It's not the money he spends when you want to buy a daydream, and not that miracle smile that makes the sky bright It's not the way his hands behave When you've turn out the light It's the small small small talk, That makes it all happen, mmm mmm. Small small small talk, That makes you want to fly, yes it does. It's not the way he believes in you like a religion It's not the thrill you get when he's holding you tight, yea It's not the way his eyes persuade you
To stay the night It's the small small small talk, That makes it all happen, mmm, mmm. Small small small talk, That makes you feel like flying, yes it does. Information, heart and soul, A whisper, a word Confessions that have to be heard Small small talk, small small talk...
Come on now, come on now, Come on, you make it rock so heavenly. Come on now, come on now, come on, You seem to talk so heavenly, mmm mmm.
It's not the way his eyes persuade You to stay the night, oh, oh, oh. It's the small small small talk, That makes it all happen, mmm, mmm. Small small small talk, That makes you feel like flying, yes it does. Information, heart and soul, A whisper, a word Confessions that have to be heard Small small talk small small talk Na na na na na na na na na na. Oh oh oh. Small small small talk Na na na na na na na. Oh oh oh. Big words... Small talk...

So far away

In the coldest time of year, Darkness all around my heart I was alone but didn't fear To wander in the light of stars In the bright and silent night, Winds would knock and disappear Still I felt a feeling near, Like the first time you were ever here. You're so far away, so far away, You left me, you told me you would stay
You never said goodbye and I keep wondering why, I keep on wondering how, Oh come unto me now
I have breathed the morning air, I have heard the four winds blow I was weary but prepared, To follow down this lonely road In the room where lovers sleep, Winds would knock and disappear Still I felt the music near, Like the first time you were ever here. You're so far away, so far away, You left me, you told me you would stay. Oh you never said goodbye and I keep wondering why, I keep on wondering how, come unto me now
I keep on wondering how,
Oh come inside me now

It must have been love

Lay a whisper on my pillow Leave the winter on the ground I wake up lonely I stare at silence In the bedroom all around Touch me now I close my eyes and dream away It must have been love, but it's over now It must have been good, but I lost it somehow It must have been love, but it's over now From the moment we touched Till the time I ran out Make believing we're together That I'm sheltered by your heart But in and outside I turn to water Like a teardrop in your arms And it's a hard Winter's day, I dream away It must have been love, but it's over now It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without It must have been love, but it's over now. It's where the water flows, It's where the wind blows
It must have been love, but it's over now It must have been good, but I lost it somehow It must have been love, but it's over now From the moment we touched Till the time I ran out It must have been love, but it's over now It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without It must have been love, but it's over now It's where the water flows, It's where the wind blows...

Things will never be the same

Lay it down
Pull my heart to the ground, Time's getting cold Now the leaves all turn hard and blue
And I know When I gaze to the sun, No place to hide, I got nowhere to run from you, Away from you Hold me now, Girl, I don't know when, When we will ever meet again That was then, Baby, this is now, I try to get over you Losing you...
Things will never be the same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again Things would never be... In your hand, Babe, I don't understand, You've got the eyes of a child But you hurt like a man, Always do, always do. Touch me now,
Girl, I don't know when, When we will ever meet again. That was then, Baby, this is now, Time won't get over you. Losing you... Things will never be the same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again
Things would never be...
Losing you... Things will never be the same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again Things would never be the same Things will never be the same. Can you hear me, Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again Things would never be the same.

Crash, boom, bang

My papa told me to stay out of trouble "When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!". I've learned that nothing really lasts forever I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal They won't heal.
Cos every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew. My mama told me not to mess with sorrow But I always did, and lord, I still do I'm still breaking the rules {I kick it up, I kick it down} 'Cos every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's my real middle name It has always been the same That's the call, that's the game
And the pain stays the same.
I still feel the heat {Slowly fallin' from the sky} And the taste of the kissing Shattered by rain {Comin' tumblin' from behind} And the wild holy war.
{I kick it up, I kick it down.} And every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the roses dying on the floor Crash! Boom! Bang! {Crash! Boom! Bang!} That's the call, that's the game and the pain Stays the same. That's my real middle name It has always been the same
Oh yea, oh yea oh yea huhu Been the same, been the same It has always been the same. It has always been the same

Vulnerable

Everywhere I look I see her smile Her absent-minded eyes She has kept me wondering for so long How this thing could go wrong
It seems to me that we are both the same Playing the same game But as darkness falls This true love falls apart Into a riddle of her heart She's so vulnerable, like China in my hands She's so vulnerable and I don't understand I could never hurt the one I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable, Oh, so vulnerable. Days like these no one should be alone No heart should hide away Her touch is gently conquering my mind There's nothing words can say
She's coloured all the secrets of my soul I've whispered all my dreams But just as nighttime falls This vision falls apart Into a riddle of her heart. She's so vulnerable, like China in my hands She's so vulnerable, and I don't understand I could never hurt someone I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable Oh so vulnerable.
She's so vulnerable, like China in my hands She's so vulnerable, and I don't understand I could never hurt someone I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable Oh so vulnerable... She's so vulnerable My baby she's vulnerable She's so vulnerable, oh yeah Oh so vulnerable, she's all I got She's so vulnerable, oh yeah She's so vulnerable She's so vulnerable

You don't understand me

I've been up all night, You've been putting up a fight Seems like nothin' I say gets through How did this old bed Fit a world between me and you? We said "Good night" But the silence was so thick You could cut it with a knife We've hit the wall again And there's nothin' I can do You're the one, Yeah I've put all my trust in your hands C'mon and look in my eyes, Here I am, here I am You don't understand me, my baby You don't seem to know that I need you so much You don't understand me, my feelings The reason I'm breathing, my love The mornin' comes And you're reachin' out for me Just like everything's the same And I let myself believe things are gonna change When you kiss my mouth And you hold my body close Do you wonder who's inside? Maybe there's no way We could feel each other's pain Tell me why
It gets harder to know where I stand I guess loneliness found a new friend, Here I am You don't understand me, my baby You don't seem to know that I need you so much You don't understand me, my feelings The reason I'm breathing, my love You don't understand me You don't understand me, my baby You don't seem to know that I need you so much You don't understand me, my feelings The reason I'm breathing, my love Oh you don't seem to get me, my baby You don't really see that I live for your touch You don't understand me, my dreams Or the things I believe in, my love You don't understand me You don't understand me Oh oh Understand me

She doesn't live here anymore

We grew up together, We've been here forever. Barefoot in the summer, Cold in stormy weather. She taught me all there is, Like magic and love, Lots of forgotten words Lots of forgotten words
But now, she doesn't live here anymore. She's off and she's gone, She doesn't live here anymore. I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all She dressed just like a painter, A female street Picasso and I, I will remember the heaven in her laughter. And the scent of her sweet perfume When we made love under an August moon
Under an August moon But now, she doesn't live here anymore. She's gone since long, She doesn't live here anymore. I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all. I'm sorry.
But now, she doesn't live here anymore. She's off and she's gone, She doesn't live here anymore. She's gone since long, so long, She doesn't live here anymore. She took off and left home, she doesn't live here anymore. I'm sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all. That's all. She doesn't live here Bye bye Wave to her bye bye So sorry now Hey hey hey

I wish I could fly

Halfway through the night
I wake up in a dream
Echoes in my head
Make every whisper turn into a scream

I dreamed I could fly out in the blue
Over this town, followin' you
Over the trees, subways and cars
I'd try to find out who you really are

In the middle of the night
Cool, sweatin' in my bed
Got the windows open wide
Thinkin' about all the things you said

I wish I could fly out in the blue
Over this town, followin' you
I'd fly over rooftops, the great boulevards
To try to find out who you really are
Who you really are...

I wish I could fly now
I wish I could fly now
I wish I could fly now...

I wish I could fly around and around
Over this town, the dirt on the ground
I'd follow your course, of doors left ajar
To try to find out who you really are
Who you really are...

Fly, fly fly...
I wish I could fly
Ooooooh
I wake up in a dream
In the middle of the night
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly...
