SONG LYRICS

no fury

ENTRANCED

You look on me as a devoted fan

You call me baby 

Yeah, that’s what I am      

 

I should know better

I never have been anybody’s fool before

But for some reason I can't breathe until I see you coming through the door

    

I’m entranced by you 

Captivated

Under your spell

      

Entranced by you 

Watching waiting

till I can tell

 

I’m not in love 

So don’t get me wrong

I’d be obliged if you’d just play along

   

I can't define it, there’s no reason or no rhyme        

It’s over my head

 

This isn't me, this isn't how I ought to be     

I'm not so easily misled 

I’m entranced by you

Captivated

Under your spell     

 

Entranced by you 

Watching waiting till I can tell                  

                                                          

It's time to make  my move and bare my soul              

To venture into the unknown

And risk it all to be with you 

 

I’m entranced by you

Captivated

Under your spell 

    

Entranced by you 

Watching, waiting, 

till I can tell     

 

Entranced by you 

Watching waiting 

till I can tell 

 

You look on me as a devoted fan

You call me baby      

Yeah, that’s what I am

ALL I HAVE TO SAY

This little girl wears her heart on her sleeve

And all she wants is to be swept away

She is reeling from a feeling of failing

And she’d believe anything you say

 

It hadn't rained in twenty days or more

But it poured down on the day you left

Well, crush my heart and hope to die

I still haven’t seen the sunshine yet

 

And did I hear you say you loved me

Or was that the wind 

Was that the wine

Too many revelations for one day

So that is all

That is all I have to say 

 

In spite of many trips around the sun

I’m still figuring this road map out

I really don’t intend to play with your heart

Healing my own is what I’m all about

 

Is this a kindness that you show me now

I appreciate how soft you tread

I’m still nurturing a wounded wing

Please forgive me if I wreck your head


 

But did I hear you say you loved me

Or was that the wind

Was that the wine

Too many revelations for one day

So that is all. That is all I have to say

 

And did you say you loved me

Or was that the wind 

Was that the wine

Too many revelations for one day

So that is all. That is all I have to say 

 

But I can sing it to you

That I can do

TAKE ME WITH YOU

Are you a victim of your circumstance

Are you a slave to imperfection

I need  to know what moves you 

I want to know what makes you high

 

You see the big world through the eyes of a child 

And if you want it you just take it 

I want to see from your side

I want to know where you are coming from

 

Let me hide behind your smile

Let me wallow in your tears

Let me sing your sorry song

Let me see you 

Tell me what you want to know

Show me where you want to go

Take me with you 

Take me with you

 

Give me a reason to believe what you say 

Show me some courage of conviction 

When will you open your heart

What will it take to set it free

 

Please take a step or two back down from that cloud  

Into the land of the living

It’s not so bad down here and 

you could consign your soul to me

To me

Let me hide behind your smile

Let me wallow in your tears

Let me sing your sorry song

Let me see you 

Tell me what you want to know

Show me where you want to go

Take me with you 

 

Let me hide behind your smile

Let me wallow in your tears

Let me sing your sorry song

Let me see you 

Tell me what you want to know

Show me where you want to go

Take me with you 

Take me with you      

Take me with you

.

Wherever you’re going I wanna go 

Whatever you’re knowing I wanna know 

You gotta get over that tale of woe 

 

Whatever you’re holding, just let it show 

Whatever you’re feeling, I gotta know 

I could be the one, don’t you let me go

 

Take me with you

FACE IN MY DREAMS

Make the world go away    

I don’t wanna hear that they’re sorry

Nothing they say                    

is ever gonna bring you back to me

I search for you               

I know I’ll never see you again

 

But yours is the face in my dreams 

Yours is the voice that I hear      

And yours is the star that leads me               

And I love you so 

 

You were my life’s light                         

Now everywhere I turn I’m in shadow

My music is gone             

Only in my dreams can I hear you 

Sing to me then  

And tell me that you’re looking on me

        

Cos yours is the face in my dreams

And yours is the voice that I hear 

And yours is the song

The song I can’t get out of my head

My head

You’re here in my soul

To have and to hold 

To fight or to fold I’m yours

                          

Yours is the face in my dreams

Yours is the voice that I hear

Yours is the song

The song I can't get out of my head

My head

 

Yours is the air that I breathe

Yours is the peace that I need

Yours is the star that leads me 

And I love you so 

 

I love you so

DARLING MAN

You do not ask for much, my darling man

Renown is not the fix for which you yearn     

You tirelessly bestow all that you can

And spurn the tributes which your kindness earns you 

 

What providence did fate me to adore

sweet moments in your loving company

To know with every breath I love you more      

It makes me want to be a better me              

A better me

 

And so dear heart my words cannot begin

to heal the pains that you have come to bear

The silent tears that stifle from within

the unimagined sorrow of this year

 

Endure 

Endure 

Weep 

Precious memories to keep

LEAVING IT BEHIND

We’ve been walking this road for so long

We’ve grown accustomed to being left and being right 

Always travelling in opposite directions

But still beside each other, every day and every night

But where are you

Where did you go 

 

Now you, you don’t answer when I call  

You don’t catch me when I fall 

Cos there’s too much on your mind

And you, you don’t hear me when I cry

You don’t even wonder why

Are you leaving me behind

 

I always think the grass is greener on the other side

And my indecision gets the better of me

You make me wonder if i even know my mind

And scorn my foolishness in doubting that you love me

But where am I

Where did I go

Now I, I don’t answer when you call

I don’t catch you when you fall

Cos there’s too much on my mind

And you, you don’t let me see you cry

I don’t even wonder why

Am I leaving you behind

 

We talk and talk on different wavelengths all the same

We hear the sound but we don’t tune each other in 

We’ve no idea where the two of us are going 

All we know is we’ve forgotten where we’ve been

So where are we 

Where did we go

 

And who, who will answer when we call

Who will catch us when we fall

and there’s too much on our minds

And who, who will hear us when we cry

and we don’t even wonder why

Are we leaving it behind   

Are we leaving it behind

EVERYBODY HURTS ~ FIX YOU (REM~ Coldplay)

When your day is long

And the night the night is yours alone

When you're sure you've had enough

Of this life

well hang on

 

Don't let yourself go

'Cause everybody cries

And everybody hurts sometimes

 

Sometimes everything is wrong

Now it's time to sing along

 

When your day is night alone

If you feel like letting go

If you think you've had too much

Of this life, well hang on

Everybody hurts

Take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I

 

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try 

 

Hold on

Lights will guide you

Hold on

LIVE FOR ME

Tell me what you’re thinking 

What’s been happening in your mind 

I’m walking a minefield never knowing what I’ll find

These days are your darkest there’s a cloud over you now

No storm lasts forever you will make it through somehow 

 

I live for you

Live for me

I live for you

Live for me

 

Tell me what can I do to restore your precious smile

I would stop at nothing to see you shine for a while

Now your eyes betray you they're the mirror of your soul

If you’d only use them you would see you’re not alone

 

I live for you

Live for me

I live for you

Live for me

Tell me where do you go to enjoy your solitude 

No matter how far I will be one step behind you 

Let me be your lifeline, let me rekindle your flame

Let me reassure you we are still one and the same 

 

I live for you

Live for me

I live for you

Live for me

 

Tell me what you’re thinking 

What’s been happening in your mind

CROSSROADS (Don McLean)

I've got nothing on my mind

Nothing to remember

Nothing to forget

And I've got nothing to regret

 

But I'm all tied up on the inside

No one knows quite what I've got

And I know that on the outside

What I used to be I'm not

Anymore

 

You know I've heard about people like me

But I never made the connection

They walk one road to set them free

And find they've gone the wrong direction

 

But there's no need for turning back

'Cause all roads lead to where I stand

And I believe I'll walk them all

No matter what I may have planned

Can you remember who I was

Can you still feel it

Can you find my pain

Can you heal it

 

Then lay your hands upon me now

And cast this darkness from my soul

You alone can light my way

You alone can make me whole

Once again

 

We've walked both sides of every street

Through all kinds of windy weather

But that was never our defeat

As long as we could walk together

 

So, there's no need for turning back

'Cause all roads lead to where we stand

And I believe we'll walk them all

No matter what we may have planned

SORRY

So this is how it ends

A sorry way of living              

And still you reprehend 

Unbending unforgiving 

So, banish me

Bury me

Bury me                        

 

So this is where we are

The accused or the aggressor                         

How did it get this far

The oppressed or the oppressor   

who will never bend

Never bow 

Never bow 

 

Beneath the blackness of duality

There lies a truth that 

We refuse to see

         

And so I cry                       

Leave me to cry                        

Do you know why

And are your eyes dry

 

So this is how we live

A history deleted

Nothing left to give 

It appears we stand defeated

Impassibly

How can this be

Can this be?

 

And so, is this goodbye

I believe hell hath no fury                                                             

We cannot deny

The dark side to this story 

This tragedy

If it be

So it be

              

Between the whys and whens,

In weal and woe

It seems that we were fated long ago

And who we were or who we couldn’t be

Has all-consumed the better part of me

        

And still I cry          

Forever I cry  

And though you try to justify

I’ll never know why

I miss you and I                          

So this is goodbye                                      

Your eyes are dry

AMAZING GRACE

You wandered lonely, lonely as a cloud

No one could blame you 

For crying out loud

You pray

You dream

Nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen

Nobody knows

Nobody knows

 

A fate foreshadowed 

by forces which you fight 

The foe, the fouler

Exposed beneath your light 

 

You cry

You scream 

Nobody knows the places you’ve been 

Nobody knows 

Nobody knows 

 

Amazing grace is shining in your face

For all the blinded ones to see

You couldn't save yourself

But you saved everybody else

You were bound, but now you’re free

The final curtain 

For one of such renown 

To see those pillars 

Come crumbling to the ground 

You strive 

You rise 

Oh but they cut you down to size

Building their lies

Building their lies 

 

Amazing grace is shining in your face

For all the blinded ones to see

You couldn't save yourself

But you saved everybody else

You were bound, but now you’re free

You’re free

 

You pray

You dream

Nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen

You cry

You scream

Nobody knows the places you’ve been 

 

You rise

You rise 

You rise above the lies

You rise

You rise

Angels will lead you to paradise

ALWAYS YOU

We’ve come through it all better than most

A match made in heaven

They talked about us, a picture of love

That’s what we were then

 

I know you have this fear

Though I am here

Am I really with you

Don’t worry 

I’m still around                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

And I know now I’ve found all that I need in you

 

It was always you

The one who had the courage to believe in me like you do

It was always you, it always will be

No one could love the way you do

 

I am what I am and I’ll never change

Headstrong as ever

I do what I do, heaven knows what

keeps us together

But you just seem to know

When to let go or when to hold on

And so here’s where we are

We’ve come so far.                                                                                    

And love is eternal

 

It was always you

The one who had the courage to believe in me like you do

It was always you, it always will be

No one could love the way you do

No one but you
