Singer, sing a song A little heart and soul Singer, sing it soft and low Such a lonely key Feels like home to me A familiar melody
Passing the hours when only music saves the night I feel like an angel in a window Forbidden to fly Passing the hours how I just lose track of time Passing the hours
Simple life of mine Left it all behind It's a charge I can't deny Singer, sing the blues Nothing left to lose Watch the world go drifting by
Passing the hours when only music saves the night I feel like an angel in a window Forbidden to fly Passing the hours how I just lose track of time Passing the hours
I hate my dreams to die It's wearing me out And no wonder why I'm just a face in a crowd All serving time
Passing the hours when only music saves the night I feel like an angel in a window Forbidden to fly Passing the hours how I just lose track of time Passing the hours Passing the hours when only music saves the night
Passing the hours Passing the hours Passing the hours
Cover me ... Over with fallen leaves I've gone to ground I need you ... Cause when I crack you cordon me ... Off to the passers by so they can't steal ... Their looks at the things I can't hide
Roll over I'm not done with you You can stop me feeling blue
When holding my smile Starts to wear me out child Tell me I don't have to be so brave When I let my shoulders fall And sink softly in my seat Shield me from my sadness and defeat Ooh!
Cover me My eyes are broken They're just seeing grey But you bring ... The colours of the waking day A lament begging you to save me Cover me girl so they can't break me Pick me up when it overtakes me
Roll over I'm not done with you You can stop me feeling blue Can you stop me feeling blue
When holding my smile Starts to wear me out, child Tell me I don't have to be so brave When I let my shoulders fall And sink softly in my seat Shield me from my sadness and defeat Yeah!
Cover me ... Over with fallen leaves A lament begging you to save me Cover me girl so they can't break me Pick me up when it overtakes me
For every time you cried From all the frustration You swallowed your pride You wear the scars Of the imprisoned arise ... And you can testify
Blessed are we We are free Ominira, wa ominira And all our hurt ... is now our history All that hurt ... is now our history All that hurt ... is now our history Our history ... Ooooh!
Gather unto you Your scattered resources Have long been misused Give again your heart Don't let their corruption taint you Your strength will multiply
Blessed are we We are free Ominira, wa ominira And even our broken hearts Will mend eventually Ominira, wa Blessed are we Now we are free Ominira, wa ominira And all our hurt .. is now our history All that hurt ... is now our history All that hurt ... is now our history
I have never, never walked alone Though you're far ahead you have never left me behind There are days I can't avoid the stones in the Middle of the road But I have never, never walked alone
I will never be afraid for any time In so many ways you have anchored your arm to mine There are days when I lean heavily upon you To guide me home But I have never, no never walked alone
In my search for human kindness When it all gets out of pace Your love's the one thing that gets me by For I have never, no never walked alone
You have listened to a thousand calls in the dark Before the dawn I have never, never walked alone We have worked it out together so I can say Somehow I've known That I have never, no never walked alone
I was frightened By your suffering Fear is poison Faith the remedy But it didn't heal you So how could it help me
I felt useless You stared but couldn't see me Growing distant You were slowly burning out But your cry for mercy Was stuck inside me, oh
No enlightenment No anaesthetic No last remission No miracle reprieve I'm still a child beside you How did we come to be Inside this helpless moment Oluwa shanu mi Wa shanu mi
I bring my thoughts back to you They are framed in broken light Your hands full of compassion The war that took your life So hard to remove the pain from The pure love you gave me
Can you tell me you're not hurting anymore A waking dream, a sign to reassure Cause your last words I heard clearly You were crying for mercy
No enlightenment No anaesthetic No last remission No miracle reprieve I'm still a child beside you How did we come to be Inside this helpless moment Oluwa shanu mi Wa shanu mi
I've been in denial I've been hiding like a kid I try to list your imperfections Shift the blame for what I did I don't trust my excuses They're just how I've learnt to live Knowing I destroyed the shelter of our love
I can say I'm ready to learn I've been chasing the answers But I don't have enough to keep up with your pace
You're miles ahead of me In knowledge and love Miles ahead of me In courage and faith Miles ahead of me In truth and intent Miles ahead of me In kindness and strength You're miles ahead of me
It wasn't my intention That I used your precious time You opened up your life But i was holding on to mine Returned your honest certainty With panic and retreat The fear defeats me everytime we speak
But I'm ready to learn I've been chasing the answers Still I don't have enough to keep up with your pace
You're miles ahead of me In knowledge and love Miles ahead of me In courage and faith Miles ahead of me In truth and intent Miles ahead of me In kindness and strength You're miles ahead of me In knowledge and love Miles ahead of me In courage and faith Miles ahead of me In truth and intent Miles ahead of me In kindness and strength
How could anyone be so obsessed with freedom I somehow still expected you to stay
But I'm ready to learn I've been chasing the answers Still I don't have enough to keep up with your pace
You're miles ahead of me You're miles ahead of me You're miles ahead of me You're miles ahead of me
(In knowledge and love) Miles ahead of me (In courage and faith) Miles ahead of me (In truth and intent) Miles ahead of me (In kindness and strength)
You're miles ahead of me (In knowledge and love) Miles ahead of me (In courage and faith) Miles ahead of me (In truth and intent) Miles ahead of me (In kindness and strength)
Miles ahead of me (In knowledge and love) Miles ahead of me (In courage and faith) Miles ahead of me (In truth and intent) Miles ahead of me (In kindness and strength)
You're miles ahead of me (In knowledge and love) Miles ahead of me (In courage and faith) Miles ahead of me (In truth and intent) Miles ahead of me (In kindness and strength)
Step from you car back into the real world Can't hold your heat in the cold light of day I won't find the heart to accept that we're over As long as you're there I can beg you to stay
You say that you need to talk later But I can't hold it together So I call right away
Letting me down gently Is breaking my heart slowly And this can't be better So just get it over Cause holding on desperately In fear that you might leave me
Is breaking my heart slowly (letting me down gently) Is breaking my heart slowly (breaking my heart slowly) Letting me down gently (letting me down) Is breaking my heart
Chasing around have you twisted and stumbled Losing your way to end up by my side Now you are ready to change your direction Remember you came with your eyes open wide
You say that you need to talk later But I can't hold it together So I call right away
Letting me down gently Is breaking my heart slowly And this can't be better So just get it over Cause holding on desperately In fear that you might leave me
Is breaking my heart slowly (letting me down gently) Is breaking my heart slowly (is breaking my heart slowly) Letting me down gently (letting me down) Is breaking my heart Is breaking my heart
Letting me down gently Is breaking my heart slowly And this can't be better So just get it over Holding on desperately In fear that you might leave me
Is breaking my heart slowly (letting me down gently) Is breaking my heart slowly (is breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently (letting me down) Is breaking my heart slowly (breaking my heart slowly)
Oh, letting me down gently (letting me down) Is breaking my heart slowly (is breaking my heart slowly)
Oh, letting me down gently (letting me down) Is breaking my heart (is breaking my heart slowly)
Ooh, my heart (breaking my heart) Letting me down gently (breaking my heart)
Ooh, letting me down gently (letting me down) Is breaking my heart (breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently (letting me down gently) Is breaking my heart (breaking my heart slowly)
Hey, so you threw your heart right in And it turned out less than perfect A losing streak is starting in your mind You let yourself believe the pain Is never gonna be worth it
Don't beat yourself up Know that you were never wrong for wishful thinking So you done lost the battle Should we just cross out your name and let you sink
You got me feeling like the last surviving Great romantic But stop dreaming and the world stops spinning around You feel foolish cause love never turns out Like you planned it But stop believing and the world starts letting you down
So, you had to let it go It clearly wasn't working A new love leaves you trembling You hide behind the door So unsure of what you used to know
So now you think you're every move ten steps ahead And you are frozen Caught inside yourself You're drowning as the anger overflows
You got me feeling like the last surviving Great romantic But stop dreaming and the world stops spinning around You feel foolish cause love never turns out Like you planned it But stop believing and the world starts letting you down
You got me feeling like the last surviving Great romantic But stop dreaming and the world stops spinning around You feel foolish cause love never turns out Like you planned it But stop believing and the world starts letting you down
