Lyrics
I’ve included the lyrics to the songs I have on this site’s playlist.
Most of these songs are new to me. Something in the lyrics speaks of what I’m thinking about this nightmare journey, or maybe about Pat, or about Pat’s and my relationship.
I didn’t want to include mainstream, pop, or too many country songs. This is such a profound and unique experience–I didn’t want anything too trite or overplayed.

Aimee Mann : One is the Lonliest Number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
two can be as bad as one
it's the loneliest number since the number oneNo is the saddest experience you'll ever know
yes it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
one is the loneliest number that you'll ever knowIt's just no good anymore since you went away
now I spend my time
just making rhymes of yesterdayBecause one is the loneliest number
that you'll ever do
one is the loneliest number
that you'll ever knowOne is the loneliest number
one is the loneliest number
one is the loneliest number
that you'll ever do
one is the loneliest number
much, much worse than twoOne is the number divided by two
One...........One is the loneliest number

Alison Krauss : I Will
Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I willFor (and) if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the sameLove you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apartAnd when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For (and) the things you do endear you to me
You know I willI will
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apartAnd when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For (and) the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will -
Alison Krauss : Maybe
Yesterday the odds were stacked
In favor of my expectations
Flyin' above the rest
Never fallin' from the nest
Tuesday came and went and now
I'm in a little situation
Maybe it's for the best
I can live alone, I guessMaybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on homeForgive me if I'm keeping you
Apart from better conversation
Hung up on all my doubt
Trying to sort the whole thing out
Tell me that I'm smart enough
To deal with all the information
Spinning inside my head
Every word he ever saidMaybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on homeMaybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home -
Alison Krauss : Moments Like This
What if a guy and girl redefines
the reasons we strive to exist?
We feign control
over pounding nerve
the waiting of moments like this.Cause in a peace for love,
the quiet spend
seduced by the promise of this.
We soon forget
nothing's happened here,
in living for moments like this.So hold me,
whisper gently
this is what we live for
how we learn who we are.
It defines us,
ever-reminding us
that life neverends,
more precious than this.From the dim line
in the greyness
the aim of the sword tends to miss
when the clouds catch fire
and the oceans pitch
we wait for the moments like this.So hold me,
whisper gently
that there's nothing to fear,
you'll always be near
to remind me,
stand behind me,
although life can be rough,
we can never give up.It's in our power
to face the storm
before its fury
and madness.
A flash of thunder
rolled behind us
with longing and sadness.
The clouds will rain.Hold me,
whisper gently
this is what we live for
how we learn who we are.
It defines us,
ever-reminding us
that life neverends,
more precious than this.So hold me,
whisper gently
that there's nothing to fear,
you'll always be near
to remind me,
stand behind me,
although life can be rough,
we can never give up. -
Alison Krauss/John Waite : Lay Down Beside Me
I've spent my life
Lookin for you
Findin' my way
Wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you
All the while
And it's been worth
Every mileSo lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
And kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander awayFemale:
Mornings and evenings
All were the same
There was no music
Til I heard your name
I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for a whileTogether:
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander awayAnd hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away*she hums
he sings
Love me and hide me*both hum
he sings
'Til I feel your heart beat*both hum

America : Need You
We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to meI need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need youAnd every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about meI need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need youI need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you ... -

Ben Harper Forever
Not talkin' 'bout a year
no not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
in my life anymore
forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from youPeople spend so much time
every single day
runnin' 'round all over town
givin' their forever away
but no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from youLike a handless clock with numbers
an infinite of time
no not the forever found
only in the mind
forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you -
Bob Dylan : Tomorrow Is A Long Time
If today were not an endless highway
If tonight were not a crooked trail
If tomorrow weren't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at allAnd only if my own true love were waiting for me
And if I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once againI can't see my reflection in the water
Can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Can't remember the sound of my own nameAnd only if my own true love were waiting for me
And if I could hear he heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once againThere's beauty in the silver, singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
None of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyesAnd only if my own true love were waiting for me
And if I could hear he heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me
And she could lie in my bed once again -
Bruce Springsteen : You're Missing
Shirts in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missingCoffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, but you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missingPictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing You're missing when I shut out the lights
You're missing, when I close my eyes
You're missing, when I see the sun rise
You're missingChildren are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?Morning is morning, the evening falls I got
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missingGod's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops -
Cat Stevens: Oh Very Young
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want them (HIM)to last forever
You know they (HE) never will
You know they (HE) never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder stillOh very young
What will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
You know you never will
And the goodbye makes the journey harder stillOh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time -
Collective Soul: Forgiveness
In my silence I would love to forget
Restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with one accord I keep pushing forth
I stretch my heart to heal some moreIt used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for youAs my seasons change I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with love's display -

Counting Crows: Hazy
When you disappear on me it's just like
parades in the rain
Every time i see you you just disappear again
Every time you're leaving i don't know what to say
I wanna see this whole town go awaySo could you tell me why you're leaving
Cause I don't know why it has to be so
Could you tell me why you're leaving
Cause I don't know I don't know I don't knowAll these ending love songs
come into my eyes
but every time I see you
I'm alive, I'm aliveSo could you tell me why you're leaving?
Cause I don't know why it has to be so
Could you tell me why you're leaving
Cause I don't know I don't know I don't know -
Counting Crows: High Life
All my friends got flowers in their eyes
But I got none this season
All of the last ten years' blooms have gone and died
Time doesn’t give a reason
Hey baby, do you ask yourself sometimes what you need to be forgiven?
Everything that you've ever done wrong
Is the reason that I'm driven
Straight to you.Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I get my ends and my beginning mixed up too
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two[speaking] It's just like answers
that come in small packages
that go in the mailWaiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in
the disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change into the worst kind of people
So unkind
Oh apologies, no apologies, this apology
Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you.Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with youI just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay for a little whileThere's a night life falling down on me
I just feel like a change
Beneath the sun in summer,
a sea of flowers won't bloom without the rain
But oh, this desert life, this high life
Here at the dying of the day
I wasn't made for this scene baby
But I was made in this scene
And baby, it's just my way
I don't want to go home alone, I wanna come on home to youWaiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver I can use
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two.[speaking] Isn't that just like disappearing into the sum of yourself
and the person you are disappearing into
it's like one plus one equals nothing at all
one plus two equals nothing at all
one plus me equals nothing at all
one plus you equals one plus you equals you and you and you and you and
nothing at all
nothing at all [repeated] -
Damien Rice: Cold Water
Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now,
Or am I lost?No one's daughter allow me that
And I can't let go of your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
or am I lost?oooo, I love you
Don’t you know I love you
And I always have
Hallelujah
Will you come with me?Cold, cold water surrounds me now
Women:cold cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, women :can you hear me?
Lord, women :can you hear me now?
Lord, women :can you hear me?
Ahh...Am I lost with you?
Am I lost with you?
Am I lost with you? -

May the trail rise up to meet you
May your heart rejoice in song
May the skies be fair above you
As you journey ever onEver on, ever on
Ever on, ever onIn this planetary circle
We are but a single stone

May we walk within your footsteps
As you lead us ever onEver on, ever on
Ever on, ever on
Ever on, ever on

Dan Fogelberg : Longer
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with youStronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with youI'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wingsThrough the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with youLonger than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you -
Dan Fogelberg : Only The Heart May Know
Silent sea
Tell this to me:
Where are the children that we
Used to beSilent sea:
At picture shows
Where nobody goes
And only the heart can see.Starry skies
Soft lullabies
Where do they go when their
Melodies die?Starry skies:
To a day
Far, far away
That only the heart may know.Friends we knew
Follow us through
All of the days of our lives
Love we shared
Waits for us there
Where our wishes forever reside.Falling tears
Memories mirrors
Where are summers
Oh, where are the years?Falling tears:
Carried far
To a wandering star
That only the heart may know.Friends we knew
Follow us through
All of the days of our lives
Love we shared
Waits for us there
Where our wishes forever reside.Starry skies
Soft lullabies
Where do they go when their
Melodies die?
To a day
Far, far away
That only the heart may know. -
Dan Fogelberg : The Sand And The Foam
Dawn...like an angel
Lights on the step
Muting the morning she heralds
Dew on the grass
Like the tears the night wept
Gone long before
The day wears old.
Times stills the singing
A child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways
The child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam.
Pressed in the pages
Of some aging text
Lies an old lily, crumbling
Marking a moment
Of childish respects
Long since betrayed and forgotten.
Times stills the singing
A child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways
The child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam.
Dawn...like an angel
Lights on the step
Muting the morning she heralds
Dew on the grass
Like the tears the night wept
Gone long before
The day wears old.
Times stills the singing
A child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways
The child followed home
Gone, like the sand and the foam
Gone, like the sand
Gone, like the sand and the foam. -

We are the last ones who can hear itWe’re calling in whispers

Dashboard Confessional: Stolen
I Am Stolen
We watch the season
Pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend
Of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced
Another sun soaked season fades awayYou have stolen my heart

David Gray: Lately
That the sky would lift
That I’d find my place
That I’d see your face in the door
And the sun would glint
On a time well spent
On a time that ain’t no moreTakes the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
To see the fruit that rots on the trees
Had to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it’s in my mind alwaysHoney lately I’ve been way down
Load on my mind
Honey lately I’ve been way down
Load on my mindSomeone tell me where did it go
Darling I'm damned if i know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
GoodbyeDrag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Or Leave it all for dead
But it’s in my head alwaysHoney lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mindSomeone tell me where did it go
Darling I'm damned if i know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbyeGoodbye
Goodbye
GoodbyeNow Honey lately
Yeh Honey lately

David Gray: Shine
I can see it in your eyes
what I know in my heart is true
that our love it has faded
like the summer run through
and we'll walk down the shoreline
one last time together
feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts
like a feather
but who knows what's waiting
in the wings of time
dry your eyes
we're gonna go where we can shineDon't be hiding in sorrow
or clinging to the past
with your beauty so precious
and the season so fast
and hey, no matter how cold the horizon appears
or how far the first night
when I held you near
we're gonna rise from these ashes
like a bird aflame
take my hand
we're gonna go where we can shine
(na na na na na na na na, shine)And for all that we struggle
for all we pretend
you know, you know, you know it don't come down to nothing
except love in the end
and ours is a road
that is strewn with goodbyes
but as it unfolds
as it all unwinds
remember your soul is the one thing
you can't compromise
step out of the shadow
we're gonna go where we can shine
we're gonna go where we can shine
we're gonna go where we can shine(and look, and look)
Through the windows of midnight
moonfoam and silver -
Death Cab For Cutie: Where Soul Meets Body
I want to live where soul meets body,
And let the sun wrap its arms around me,
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing,
And feel, feel what it's like to be new,
'Cause in my head there's a Greyhound station,
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations.
So they may have a chance of finding a place where,
They're far more suited than here.BAda-bada ba-bah
bada ba-ba bada ba-bah
bada ba-ba bada-ba
bada bada-bahI cannot guess what we'll discover,
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels,
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's,
And not one speck will remain.And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere. -
Donovan: Catch the Wind
In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind. -
Eddie Vedder: Good-Bye
I've got our love to remember
that will never change
I have you in my head
and no, I'll never hold you
and I'm still asking why
I guess that this is goodbyemy dreams suddenly seem so empty
I could go on my own, but I feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
I don't know where you are tonight
I guess that this is goodbyewe lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
there's an ocean in my eyes
cause I know that this is goodbye
cause I know that this... is goodbye -
Eddie Vedder: Long Nights
Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was beforeI've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recallLong nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever knowI've got this light
And the will to show
I will always be better than beforeLong nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground -
Eddie Vedder: Long Road
And I wished for so long...cannot stay.
All the precious moments...cannot stay.
It's not like wings have fallen...cannot stay.
But still something's missing...cannot say.Holding hands of daughters and sons,
And their faiths are falling down.
I have wished for so long...
How I wish for you today.Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...All the friends and family.
All the memories going round.
I have wished for so long.
How I wish for you today.And the wind keeps rollin',
And the sky keeps turning gray.
And the sun is set...
The sun will rise another day.I have wished for so long...
How I wish for you today.
I have wished for so long...
How I wish for you today.Will I walk the long road?
We all walk the long road... -
Eddie Vedder: Rise
Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it growGonna rise up
Burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into goldSuch is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and beholdGonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole -
Evanescence: Everywhere
Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me, and
Dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my handWe're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your nameI have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you thereWe're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where no one needs a reasonForget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you nowWe're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name -
Evanescence: My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Coz your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me aloneThese wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot eraseWhen you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of meYou used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in meThese wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot eraseWhen you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of meI tried so hard to tell myself that your gone,
But though you're still with me,I've been alone all alongWhen you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me, me -

Five For Fighting: The Riddle
There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over meHe said,

Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see."Then he said,
"Here's a riddle for yah

Did you learn anything 'cause in in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to meHe said,
"Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small

Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"And Hey Dad

There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to seeHe said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is high over me
Something comes over meI guess we're big and I guess we're small

Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free

Five For Fighting: World
Got a package full of wishes
A time machine, a magic wand
A globe made out of gold
No instructions or commandments,
Laws of gravity or indecisions to uphold
Printed on the box I see: ACME's Build a World to Be.
Take a chance, grab a piece
Help me to believe itWhat kind of world do you want
Think anything
Let’s start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts nowShould there be people or peoples
Money, funny pedestals
For fools who never pay
Raise your army, choose your steeple
Don’t be shy, the satellites can look the other way
Lose the earthquakes, keep the faults
Fill the oceans without the salt
Let every man own his own hand.
Can you dig it baby?What kind of world do you want
Think anything
Let’s start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts nowSunlight’s on the bridge
Sunlight’s on the way
Tomorrow’s calling
There’s more to this than loveWhat kind of world do you want
(x3)
Think anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
History starts now
Starts now
Be careful what you wish forStart now

Guided By Voices: Hold On Hope
Every street is dark
And folding out mysteriously
Where lies the chance we take to be
Always working
Reaching out for a hand that we
can't see
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding meInvitation to the last dance
Then it's time to leave
But that's the price we pay
when we deceive
One another/animal mother
She opens up for free
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's
holding meLook at the talkbox in mute
frustration
At the station
There hides the cowboy
His campfire flickering
on the landscapeThat nothing grows on
But time still goes on
And through each life of misery
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding me -
Howie Day: Collide
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
YeahI'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up againEven the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collideI'm quiet you know
You make a frist impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mindEven the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collideEven the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collideYou finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide -
Jack Johnson Adrift
Your voice is adrift
I can't expect it to sing to me
As if I was the only oneI'll follow you
The leaf that's following the sun
When will my weight be too much for you?
When will these ideas really be my own?
Cause this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold onThis was a scene worth waking up for
When I woke up
You planted me in my own body
Don't know why
But somehow it just feels so wrong
When you're sad I will be lonely
But when you rise again I'll become the sun
I will shine down upon you
As if you were the only oneYour voice is your own, I can't protect it
You'll have to sing
A verse no one has ever knownDon't be afraid
Cause no one ever sings alone
Your way will never be too much for me
Your ideas have always been your own
And this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on -
Jack Johnson: Better Together
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're togetherMmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're togetherAnd all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that they’ll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two,
Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're togethermmmmmmm
I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
There is no, no song I could sing
and there is no combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together -
Jack Johnson: Never Know
I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on playing for their metaphors
But don't leave much up to the imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery back
But I know it just ain’t so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again
and again and again
It sure seems the same, with a different name
We're breaking and rebuilding
and we're growing
always guessingNever knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
Were trying but where is this all leading?
We'll Never KnowIt all happened so much faster than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last one and maybe that’s just the answer that we're after
But after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We're moments just combusting
We feel certain but we'll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name
We're begging and we're needing
and we're trying and we're breathingNever knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing
Never KnowKnock, knock coming door to door
To tell ya that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim things are looking pretty grim
If you don’t believe in what they're spoon feeding
Its got no feeling so I read it again and again and againIt sure seems the same so many different names
Our hearts are strong our heads are weak
We'll always be competingNever knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
But the truth is all we got is questions
We'll Never Know
Never Know
Never Know -

James Blunt: Goodbye My Lover
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. -
James Blunt: Cry
I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.You and I have been through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend. -
Jeff Buckley: You and I
You and I.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and I.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and I, you and I, you and I,
All for you.
Where you think you'll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,
I will open for you.
If we had only known, in a way
We'd never reach this ground.
I'll know, silver eyes.
I can see us shine.
I said, we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I,
All for you. -
Jewel: Painters
Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by
They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.
When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go'Cause I'm a painter and i want to paint you a lovely world
A lovely world.Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
He put water-colored roses in her hair
He said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine, the sunset too
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, they made it an art to live by
They painted every, passion every home, created every beautiful child
in the winter they were weavers of warmth, in summer they were carpenters of love
They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
And in her heart she knew something was wrong
She went running through the orchard screaming,
'No God, don't take him from me!,'
But buy the time she got there, she feared he already had gone
She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her
She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me
with nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits to remind me!
He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understand
I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands
Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still
My body may die now, but these paintings are real.'
So many seasons came and many seasons went
and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers,
talking to the trees and singing to his children
And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening,
and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her
when she was crying'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by, they remind her of her lover
how he left her and of times long ago, when she used to color carelessly,
Painted his portrait a thousand times, or maybe just his smile,
and she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would goYes, she and her canvas still follow
Because they are painters and they are painting themselves
A lovely world -
John Mayer: Clarity
I worry
I weigh three times my body
I worry
I throw my fear around
But this morning
There's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remainooh ooh ooh ooh
By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light pretending
That it somehow lingered on
Well all ive gots
oooh oooh oooh ooohAnd I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
Well it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
(It's not supposed to)Was there a second of time I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down?
Was anything enough to kiss the ground
And say I'm here now?
And she is here nowoooh oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh oooh ooooooh...So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you?And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't and it won't
And I will pay no mind
Worried bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our life togetherhaaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaaaaaa...
ooooooo...

John Mayer: Wheel
People have the right to fly
And will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say "Move along"
Their minds say "Gotcha heart"
Let's move it alongAnd airports, see it all the time
Where someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
Cause someone's coming home
In hand, a single roseThat's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last
No I won't be the last, to love herYou can't build a house of leaves
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing that seasons doAnd that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you won't be the first
No you won't be the first, to love meYou can find me, if you ever want to give
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around, I'll be around
And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You will wave hello again
You just might wave hello againAnd that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working nowYou can't love too much, one part of it(repeat)
I believe that my life's gonna see
The love I give return to me
I believe that my life's gonna see yeah
The love I give return to me.
I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give
Return to me... -
Neil Young: Comes a Time
Comes a time
when you're driftin'
Comes a time
when you settle down
Comes a light
feelin's liftin'
Lift that baby
right up off the ground.
Oh, this old world
keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees
ain't layin' down
There comes a time.
You and I we were captured
We took our souls
and we flew away
We were right
we were giving
That's how we kept
what we gave away.
Oh, this old world
keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees
ain't layin' down
There comes a time. -

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon. -
Neil Young: The Birds
Lover,
there will be another one
Who'll hover
over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
in your wings my little one
This special
morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over. -
Neil Young: The Painter
The painter stood before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colours from the airGreen to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black when the evening comes
Blue to blue in the nightIt's a long road behind me
It's a long road ahead
If you follow every dream, you might get lost
If you follow every dream, you might get lostShe toed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of two men
But in the end she fell down
Before she got up againI keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can't be foundIt's a long road behind me
And I miss you now
If you follow every dream, you might get lost
If you follow every dream, you might get lostGreen to green, red to red
Yellow to yellow in the light
Black to black when the evening comes
Blue to blue through the night -
Peter Gabriel: I Grieve
it was only one hour ago
it was all so different then
there’s nothing yet has really sunk in
looks like it always did
this flesh and bone
is just the way that we are tied in
now there's no-one homeI grieve for you
you leave me
it’s so hard to move on
still loving what's gone
they say life carries on
they say life carries on and on and on and onthe news that truly shocks is the empty, empty page
while the final rattle rocks its empty, empty cage
and I can't handle thisI grieve for you
and you leave melet it out and move on
missing what's gone
they say life carries on
they say life carries on and on and onlife carries on
in the people I meet
in everyone that's out on the street
in all the dogs and cats
in the flies and rats
in the rot and the rust
in the ashes and the dust
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and onit’s just the car that we ride in
the home we reside in
the face that we hide in
the way we are tied in
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and ondid I dream this belief?
or did I believe this dream?
now I can find relief
I grieve -

When the 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 sometimesSometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not aloneIf you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang onWell, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone -
REM: The Great Beyond
I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I cant believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
There's a new planet in the solar system
Theres nothing up my sleeve(chorus 1)
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the groundAnd all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I dont want to stay around
Why cant we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyondI want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2 2x)
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great, answers from the great
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great, answers from the great, answers -
Velvet Underground: I'll Be Your Mirror
I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're homeWhen you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see youI find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraidWhen you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see youI'll be your mirror
(reflect what you are) -
Dave Matthews: Oh
The world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it okI hear you still talk to me
As if you're sitting in that dusty chair
Makes the hours easier to bare
I know despite the years alone
I'll always listen to you sing your sweet song
And if it's all the same to youI love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven overflow and fill hell
Love you oh so wellAnd it's cold and darkness falls
It's as if you're in the next room so alive
I could swear I hear you singing to meI love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven overflow and fill hell
Love you oh so wellThe world is blowing up
The world is caving in
The world has lost her way again
But you are here with me
But you are here with me
Makes it ok
Oh girl you are singing to me still
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven overflow and fill hell
Love you oh so well -
The Fray: Heaven Forbid
Twenty years, it's breaking you down
now that you understand there's no one around
Take a breath, just take a seat
you're falling apart and tearing at the seamsHeaven forbid you end up alone, you don't know why
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you'll be alrightIt's on your face, is it on your mind
would you care to build a house of your own
How much longer, how long can you wait
It's like you wanted to go and give yourself awayHeaven forbid you end up alone, you don't know why
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don't know why
Hold on tight, wait for tomorrow, you'll be alrightIt feels good (Is that reason enough for you)
It feels good (Is that reason enough for you)
It feels good (Is that reason enough for you)
It feels good (Is that reason enough for you)Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
Heaven forbid you end up alone, you don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alrightOut of this one
I don't know how to get you out of this one
I don't know how to get you out of this one
I don't know how to get you out of this one
I don't know how to get you out of this one -

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesRemember all the good times that we had
We let them slip away from us when things got bad
Clearly I first saw you, smiling in the sun
I want to feel your warmth upon me, I want to be the oneI will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesI'm so tired,I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, we can't be heardI will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesI'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
Gave me everything you had, oh you gave me lifeAnd I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesI will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories -
The Fray: Some Trust
So you fake you're full and you feel tomorrow
Coming and you gotta do what you can do to get
Away with everything you want and still get what you need.So you're slowing down cause you've done it before,
You look at the floor and you wonder when it's gonna
Come on up over your head so you can get some rest.Some trust in love and some trust in hatred
Some trust in fear and some in violence
Some trust in faith and some trust in fortune
Some trust God and some just get away.Swear to God I'm going to get it right
Stay down tied until I get my fill.So I take it all but it's falling through
Done it before so maybe a little bit
More will make it easier to get on through the door.Some trust in pain and some trust in pleasure
Some trust in union, some in innocence
Some trust in fear and some trust in fortune
Some trust in everyone and some just get away.Call it security, Call it your purity, Call it the words we pray,
Call it the sins we say, You never wanted thisSome trust in God and some trust in country
Some trust in love and some in violence
Some trust in diamonds, some trust in devils
Some trust fear and some just get away -
Sinéad O'Connor/Terry Hall: All Kinds of Everything
Snowdrops and daffodils,
Butterflies and bees,
Sailboats and fishermen,
Things of the sea,
Wishing wells and wedding bells,
Early morning dew,
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.Seagulls and aeroplanes,
Things of the sky,
Winds that go howling,
Breezes that sigh,
City sight, neon lights,
Grey skies or blue,
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.Summer time, winter time,
Spring and autumn too,
Monday, tuesday, everyday,
I think of you.Dances, romances,
Things of the night,
Sunshine and holidays,
Postcards to write.Parting trees, autumn leaves,
Snowflake or two,
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.Summer time, winter time,
Spring and autumn too,
Seasons will never change
The way that I love you.Dances, romances,
Things of the night.Sunshine and holidays,
Postcards to write,
Parting trees, autumn leaves,
A snowflake or two.All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.All kinds of everything
Remind me of you. -
The Fray: Oceans Away
Figure since I'm so far gone, oceans away, I can lay my sabre down today.
I miss the words I love the words, you did not say.
I miss the kiss you never gave away.
There goes the sun, oceans awayAnd days die young when you're gone and you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone elseHonestly I thought that we could make it all the way,
Barefoot on beaches dancing against the gray.But stone by stone the castle crumbled to the ground,
I stood and stared as you started to fall into the waves.There goes the sun, oceans away
And days die young when you're gone and you're gone
There goes the sun, oceans away
And leaves the day for someone else
Here's to the man of your dreams.I take it all in a box and make my way down to the shore,
Throw it in and begin to leave it to the waves -
Sinéad O'Connor: The Healing Room
I have a universe inside me
Where I can go and spirit guides me
There I can ask oh any question
I get the answers if I listenI have a healing room inside me
The loving healers there they feed me
They make me happy with their laughter
They kiss and tell me I'm their daughter
I'm their daughterThey say
You have a little voice inside you
It doesn't matter who you think you may be
You're not free if you don't know me
If you don't know meSee I'm not the lie that lives outside you
And it doesn't matter what
You think you believe
You're not free if you don't know me
If you don't know meSee I am the universe inside you
You come to me and I will guide you
And make you happy with laughter
I joy in seeing you're my daughter
You're my daughterSo believe you're not free if
you don't know me
If you don't know me
If you don't know me
If you don't know me
If you don't know me
If you don't know me -
Tom Petty: Wildflowers
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel freeRun away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with youYou belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel freeRun away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and byYou belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free -

Smashing Pumpkins Landslide
I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'til the landslide brought it downOh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've,
built my life around you
But time makes you bolder,
even children get older
And I'm getting older, tooWell, I've been afraid of changing cause I've,
built my life around you
Time makes you bolder,
even children get older
And I'm getting older, too
I get older, tooI took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
The landslide brought it down

Aqualung: Just For A Moment
Just for a moment
Everything I treasured was gone
Just for a moment
I faced my life aloneOh how I love you
Just for a moment
The world was full of pain
Just for a moment
My luck had finally run outOh how I love you
The same thing that blew us together
Might blow us apart
So keep a piece of me precious
And close to your heartJust for a moment
All of my nightmares came true
Just for a moment
My heart was broken in twoOh how I need you
Oh how I'd miss you
Oh how I love you -
Snow Patrol: Open Your Eyes
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so oldThe anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mineTell me that you'll open your eyes [x4]
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
Cos they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last timeEvery minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mineTell me that you'll open your eyes [x8]
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you -
Dropkick Murphys: Forever
All of my dreams seem to fall by the side
Like a discarded thought or the day's fading light
But I know that if I could just see you tonight
ForeverAt times we may fall, like we all tend to do
But I'll reach out and find that I've run into you
Your strength is the power that carried me through
ForeverYour kindness for weakness I never mistook
I worried you often, yet you understood
That life is so fleeting, these troubles won't last
ForeverYou inspired me truly you did from the start
To not be afraid and to follow my heart
There's a piece of you with me they can't tear apart
ForeverAt times we may fall, like we all tend to do but your strength is the power that carried me through
ForeverForever I'll find you, forever we'll be
Forever your power and strength stays with me
Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be
Forever your power and strength stays with me

Forever your power and strength stays with me

Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I’m going away
But I’ll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not returnOh don’t you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She’s weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mineOh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You’ve been a friend to me -

Buckingham Nicks: Crystal
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the seaHow the faces of love have changed turning
the pages
And I have changed oh, but you...you remain
ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea -
Tracy Chapman: For You
No words to say
No words to convey
This feeling inside I have for youDeep in my heart
Safe from the guards
Of intellect and reason
Leaving me at a loss
For words to express my feelingsDeep in my heart
Deep in my heart
Look at me losing control
Thinking I had a hold
But with feelings this strong
I'm no longer the master
Of my emotions -
Patty Griffin: Rain
It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climbSometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling downStrange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
RainIt's hard to know when to give up the fight
Two things you want will just never be right
It's never rained like it has tonight beforeNow I don't want to beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to liveStrange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain Rain Rain -
Tracy Chapman: The Promise
If you wait for me
then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heartIf you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heartRemembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waitingIf you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heartRemembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waitingI've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you areRemembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waitingTogether again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for meAnd say you'll hold
A place for me
In your heart. -
Patty Griffin: Up To the Mountain
I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to
Up over the clouds
To where the sky was blue
I could see all around me
Everywhere
I could see all around me
EverywhereSometimes I feel like
I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking
Till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
But then I go on again
Because you ask me toSome days I look down
Afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothing at all
Then I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly
You love me soThe peaceful valley
Just over the mountain
The peaceful valley
Few come to know
I may never get there
Ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later
It's there I will go
Sooner or later
It's there I will go -
Travis: Turn
I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I want to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever youngI want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very longIf we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloonWe'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strongI want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very longIf we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Learn to turn -
Patty Griffin: Crying Over
Light it up, baby, light up that fire
I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now
And these sorrows I'm crying over
And these sorrows I'm crying overEmbrace me, embrace me with your kind love
It's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of
And all of this dreaming of silver and gold
Is something to break this winter so cold
And these sorrows I'm crying over
And these sorrows I'm crying overWe go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain
Love leaves a mark and love leaves a strain
Back in the saddle again and again
Millions of eyes and none of them friendsYou better light it up, baby, you better light up that fire
Cause I don't know what's gonna save me from the cold now
From these sorrows I'm crying over
From these sorrows I'm crying over
From these sorrows I'm crying over
Crying over -
U2: Always
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be the bee
And the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sourWhat we have we're gonna keep... always
What we've lost we don't need... always
What is it that won't let you sleep... alwaysBe the arrow
And the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool
Yes, be awkward
And don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soul mateGet down off your holy cloud... always
God will not deal with the proud... always
Well if you dream then dream out loud... always
Eternally yours... alwaysI want you
I want you
I want you(Here she come)
Touching the other side
I wanted to be in love
I wanted to call
(Hey, soon soon)You say come to know yourself... always
Don't find yourself in someone else... always
And always wear a safety belt... always
Wait for me I'm running late... always
This is the moment that we share... for always
Turn each song into a prayer... alwaysNow and forever
For always
For always
For always -
Dido: Here With Me
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memoryOh, I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hideI won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with meI don't want to call my friends
For they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's beenOh, I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hideI won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me -
U2: Kite
Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I didAnd hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skinI want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone
Or anything at allWho's to say where the wind will take you?
Who's to say what it is will break you?
I don't know, which way the wind will blowWho's to know when the time has come around?
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbyeIt's summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me...I'm a man, I'm not a child...
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyesWho's to say where the wind will take you?
Who's to say what it is will break you?
I don't know, where the wind will blowWho's to know when the time has come around?
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbyeDid I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basementThe last of the rock stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big ideaThat was the big idea

Dido: My Lover is Gone
My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn, as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone, no earthly ship will ever bring him home again
My lover's gone, I know that kiss will be my last
No more his song, the tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone, while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again,
Bring him home again -

Laura Veirs : Cast A Hook
Breathe life to the street from the mouth
Those ruby red lips have much to give
Pull life from the land with your capable hands
Those life loving beautiful broken hands
Oh, I'll stand with you and marvel
At the cosmos pink and bright
All the pages flipping backwards
Til time is gone and wrong is rightRivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in meSing me a salty blue song, I'll be gone
With watery cheeks down flowered lanes
Tattered sails on a ramshakle ship, I'll go pale
Staring straight in the face looming tempest waves
Otherwise I'll wither and die here
On this reach of rubble rambling
With two years filled up with sand, dear
In a broken daze I'll be scramblingLike rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in meSummer sky falling into the sea, taking part of me
See the bones on the sand in the light
All the heards of the sea rushing by, pay no mind
To the dancing reflections gone wild
And at night a fractured star fell
And pierced right through the thick of me
I cried out in pain and joy, yes
I'm not dead, not numb, not witheringLike a falling leaf who keeps her green, I'm turning bright in the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me -
Eva Cassidy : Songbird
For you there'll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
‘Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's rightAnd the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never beforeTo you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
‘Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's rightAnd the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never beforeLike never before; like never before.

Wilco: What Light
If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along
Just sing what you feel
Don't let anyone say it's wrongAnd if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're not sure which colors belong
Just paint what you see
Don't let anyone say it's wrongAnd if you're strung out like a kite
Or stung awake in the night
It's alright to be frightenedWhen there's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
Inside of youIf you think you might need somebody
To pick you up when you drag
Don't loose sight of yourself
Don't let anyone change your bagAnd if the whole world's singing your songs
And all of your paintings have been hung
Just remember what was yours is everyone's from now onAnd that's not wrong or right
But you can struggle with it all you like
You'll only get uptightBecause there's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
Inside of you -
Eva Cassidy : Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy
the pipes the pipes are calling
from glen to glen and down the mountain side
the summer's gone and all the roses falling
it's you it's you must go and I must bidebut come ye back when summer's in the meadow
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you sobut if you come and all the flowers are dying
and I am dead as dead I well may be
you'll come and find the place where I am lying
and kneel and say an Ave there for meand I will know though soft ye tread above me
and then my grave will richer sweeter be
and you'll bend down and tell me that you love me
and I will rest in peace until you come to me -
Eva Cassidy : Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and goldI see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburnt hands I used to holdSince you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
my darling,
When Autumn leaves start to fallSince you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
my darling,
When Autumn leaves start to fall -
Eva Cassidy : Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of goldSo she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of goldWill you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of goldSee the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of goldI never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of goldMany years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of goldYou'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold -
Eva Cassidy : What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I say to myself
What a wonderful worldI see skies of blue
And clouds of white
Bright sunny days
Dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful worldThe colours of the rainbow are so pretty in the sky
And also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying 'how do you do'
They're really saying 'I love you'I see babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than
I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself
What a wonderful world
WorldAnd I say to myself
What a wonderful world -
Eva Cassidy : I Know You By Heart
Midnights in winter, the glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile shine throught the darkness
It's light is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heartMornings in April, sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children, laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on
Cause I know you by heartI still hear your voice on warm summer nights
Whispering like the windYou left in autumn, the leaves were turning
I'd walk down roads of orange and gold
I saw your sweet smile, I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me everydayCause I know you by heart
Cause I know you by heart -
Katie Melua : Just Like Heaven
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with youSpinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away? he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with youYou, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dreamDaylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of meYou, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heavenYou, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven -
Katie Melua : Thank You, Stars
Some call it faith, some call it love.
Some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.Some people think it's far away,
Some know it's with them everyday.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there.To some it's the strength to be apart,
To some it's a feeling in the heart.
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home.There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there.
Some call it faith, some call it love.
Some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.
Thank you stars,
Thank you stars,
Thank you stars -
Katie Melua : I Cried For You
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at youBut others pass, the never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand whyI cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisperI'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to holdIn many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisperWithout you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper -
Norah Jones : Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over that rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come trueSomeday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops high above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find meSomewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over that rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I? -
Norah Jones : Nightingale
Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer
To a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if I should blow it to the leftAll the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away -
Cranberries : Dreams
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible wayAnd Oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seemsI know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from youAnd then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
LaI want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)And now I'll tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't findA totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me -
The Youngbloods : Get Together
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know whyCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowSome may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grassCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowIf you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your commandCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowI said...
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right nowRight now...

The Innocence Mission : What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful worldI see skies of blue, clouds of white
The bright blessed days, and dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful worldThe colors of the rainbow
Are so pretty in the sky
It's also on the faces
Of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I think to myself, what a wonderful world -
The Innocence Mission :
We will walk on a hill
Red hats and blue coats, and everything still.
Snow will cover until
We can't tell the sky from the ground.
Where are the buildings, the old wounds of mine?
Did I ever once cry?Waiting for you to arrive,
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?Friends have moved away,
One tree has come down, another one flowers and sways.
Miri was lost for five days.
From upstate at school one friend writes,
Everything is changing while the day sky stays blue.
Changing around him, and me without you.Waiting for you to arrive,
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?Balconies and flights
Of wooden stairs down to the water at low tide.
I'll carry you and we will walk in the light.Waiting for you to arrive.
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go?
Where does the time go? -

When you wake up sun will shine.
We will not go under any cloud.
Let balloons go up in town,
ring out every bell.
Happy birthday, beautiful,
all the birds of this day
sing a song, sing a song.Dream of trains carrying you
through the state parks with the cherry flowers.
When you wake up it will be
the beginning of the world.
Happy birthday, beautiful,
in the fields of this day
hear a song, hear a song.Oh, undeserved sweetness and light,
stay by my side.
We will go out in the morning now,
a crown of maple leaves, a crown of flowers
circling your sweet head.
Happy birthday, beautiful,
in the streets of this day
play a song, play a song. -

I have desired to go
Oh, I have asked to go
Where a few lilies blow
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail

Out of the swing of the sea
Where the green swell is in the heavens won
And no storms come
And no storms come -

Set me free
Well, I have seen your face
And it's too much, too much for meTrouble, oh trouble
Can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of meI've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair?
So won't you be fair?I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me?
Just let me go where
I'll have to go thereTrouble, oh trouble
Move away
I have seen your face
And it's too much for me todayTrouble, oh trouble
Can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my miseryI've seen your eyes
And I can see death's disguise
Hanging on me
Hanging on meI'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to seeTrouble, oh trouble
Move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery?Trouble, oh trouble
Please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time -
George Harrison : If Not for You
If not for you
Babe, I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue, if not for youIf not for you
Babe, the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
It would not be new, if not for youIf not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost, if not for youIf not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for youIf not for you, my sky would fall
Rain would gather, too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost, if not for youIf not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue, if not for youIf not for you

George Harrison & Paul Simon : Here Comes The Sun
Oh no, here comes that sun again
That means another day without you my friend
And it hurts me to look in the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes, sometimes,
you just have to walk away, walk away.With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes, sometimes,
you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.We've tried the goodbye so many days.
We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.
They say if you love somebody then you have got to set them free,
but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.
They say time will make all this go away,
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.
You just walk away, walk away, walk away.
You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door -
Crosby, Still, Nash & Young : Don't Say Goodbye
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna face my world without you.Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna live my life without you.Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna see you walk away from me.If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
My heart is on my sleeve
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
In you I still believe
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna live my life without you.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love. -
Dan Fogelberg : Souvenirs
Here is a poem
That my lady sent down
Some morning while
I was away.
Wrote on the back of
A leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey.And here is the key
To a house far away
Where I used to live
As a child.
They tore down the building
When I moved away
And left the key unreconciled.And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries...cries.And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries...cries.And here is a sunrise
To set on your sill.
The ghosts of the dawn
Moving near.
They pass through your sorrow
And leave you quite still...
Sitting among souvenirs. -
Sweet Baby James : The Water Is Wide
The water is wide I can not get o'er,
And neither have I wings to fly,
Give me a boat that will carry two,O love is handsom and love is fine,
And love's a jewel when it's first new,
But love grows old then waxes gold,
And fades away like morning dew,There is a ship it's sailing the sea,
It's loaded deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I'm in,
I know not if I sink or swim,The water is wide I can not get o'er,
And neither have I wings to fly,
Give me a boat that will carry two,
And both shall row my love and I,
And both shall row my love and I, -
Jewel : Angel Standing By
All through the night I'll be standing over you
All through the night I'll be watching over you
And through the bad dreams I'll be right there, baby
Holding your hand, telling you everything is all right
And when you cry I'll be right there
Telling you you were never anything less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm your Angel standing by -
Niamh Parsons : Water Is Wide
The water is wide
I can't cross over
And neither have
I wings to fly
Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and IThere is a ship
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
As the love I'm in
I know not how
I sink or swimOh love is handsome
And love is fine
The sweetest flower
When first it's new
But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away
Like Summer dewBuild me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
And both shall row
My love and I -

Led Zeppelin : Thank You
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.

When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me. -

Moody Blues : Forever Autumn
A summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter will be much colder
Now you're not hereI watched the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one, they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.Like the sun through the trees, you came to love me
Like a leaf on the breeze, you blew awayThrough autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Thus fallen leaves lay undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not hereLike the sun through the trees, you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze, you blew awayA gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here'Cause you're not here

The Moody Blues : Question
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for.It's not the way that you say it
When you say those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life,
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.Between the silence of the mountains,
And the crashing of the sea,
There lies a land I once lived in,
And she's waiting there for me,
But in the grey of the morning,
My mind becomes confused,
Between the dead and the sleeping,
And the road that I must chose.I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life,
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me to,
The land that I once knew,
To learn as we grow old,
The secrets of our soul.It's not the way that you say it when you say those things to me,
It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be.Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for. -
The Moody Blues : New Horizons
I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three.
I have my hopes to comfort me,
I've got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift,
It will always be that way,
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Some day, some way.Where is this place that we have found?
Nobody knows where we are bound.
I long to hear, I need to see
'Cos I've shed tears too many for me.But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift,
It will always be that way,
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Some day, some way.On the wind, soaring free,
Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see.
Out of mind, far from view,
Beyond the reach of the nightmare come true.I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three.
I have my hopes to comfort me,
I've got my new horizons out to seaBut I'm never gonna lose your precious gift,
It will always be that way,
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Some day, some way. -
Jed Madela : Can't Cry Hard Enough
I'm gonna live my life
Like everyday's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me nowCan I open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kiteThere it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me nowCan I look back in vain
And see you standing there
With all that remains
Its just an empty chair
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me nowThere it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now -

Matchbox Twenty : Can't Let You Go
I'll stick around
And see how bad it gets
I'll settle down
And deal with old regrets
You know I
I adore youI can't let you go
Can't let you go
You're part of my soul
You're all that I know
Can't let you goIs it better now
Do you feel like all is fair
Can we work it out
So it's easier for me to bear
Because life
It can blind youDown from the edge
I can see where we end
I'd give up all my days to go back
There was all this wonder
And all this magic
Is all this wonder
Over and doneIf love were a whisper
What would I give you to speak
Maybe you're out of my reachI can't let you go

But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with youBut I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
and give it away as much as I can
To those that I am fondest ofSomeday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with youSomeday I'll get over you
I'll miss dreaming with you
Someday I'll get over you

The Flaming Lips : (Just Like) Starting Over (John Lennon)
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere aloneIt's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting overEveryday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting overWhy don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darlingIt's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting overOur life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhereStarting over

The Flaming Lips : Assassination Of The Sun
As you walked away
A strand of hair came undone
And was reflected in the sun
And everything was orangeAs you disappeared
The shadow of death came undone
And was reflected in the sun
And everything was orangeThey have begun to celebrate
The tidal wave they think is great
The ever-beating heart that it wasn'tThey have begun
They have begun
They have begun
To assassinate the sunAs you died in the night
A million stars formed into one
And became another sun
And everything was orangeAnd now this horrible machine
Churns out pain instead of love
And looks just like the sun
And everything was orangeThey have begun
They have begun
They have begun
To assassinate the sun -

The Flaming Lips : Say It Isnt So
I know everything changes
Yeah, it's strange how time marches on
Maybe there'll be some time in the future
Oh, tell me I'm not wrongOh, if I could stop time
It would be a frozen moment just around Christmas
When all of mankind reveals its truest potential
And there is sympathy for the suffering
Yes, there is sympathy for those who are sufferingAnd the world embraces peace and love and mercy
Instead of power and fear
And as sure as I'm standing here
I swear it really does appear that a change comes over us
Yes, some kind of change comes over usAnd it's glimpsed for one shining moment
And this change feels like a change that's real
But then it passes along with the season
And then we just go back to the way we were
Yes, we just go back to the way we wereSay it isn't so
Tell me I'm not just a dreamer
I'm talking with a friend and he knows how it ends
He says it's easier, that's just the way we are
That's human nature and that's just the way we are
Oh, say it isn't so! -

It's all behind me

She'd try to find meOur love is over

Playing so free, like a breath rippling by -
Nick Drake : Road
You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
I can see the moon and it seems so clear
You can take the road that takes you to the stars now
I can take the road that'll see me through
I can take the road that'll see me throughYou can take the road that takes you to the stars now
I can take the road that'll see me through
I can take the road that'll see me through
I can take the road that'll see me through -
Nick Drake : From The Morning
A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all aroundSo look see the days
The endless colored ways
Go play the game you that you learnt
From the morningAnd now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise frm the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
And see she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning -
Nick Drake : Saturday Sun
Saturday sun came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue
Saturday sun came without warning
So no-one knew what to do.
Saturday sun brought people and faces
That didn't seem much in their day
But when I remember those people and places
They were really too good in their way.
In their way
In their way
Saturday sun won't come and see me today.Think about stories with reason and rhyme
Circling through your brain.
And think about people in their season and time
Returning again and again
And again
And again
And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain.So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun
And wept for a day gone by.
