Sarah Mclachlan - The Freedom Sessions (2005) by Sarah Mclachlan (보컬) on maniadb.com

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
Distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand
I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near
I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand
Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it
I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it
Would you try to understand

I looked into your eyes
they told me plenty
I already knew
you never felt a thing
so soon forgotten all that you do
in more than words I
tried to tell you
the more I tried I failed

I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
and I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say,
I would have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day

I used to think my life
was often empty
a lonely space to fill
you hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
you made my world stand still
and in that stillness
there was a freedom
I never felt before

I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
and I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say,
I would have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day

Mary walks
down to the water's edge
And there she hangs her head
To find herself faded
A shadow of what she once was
She said How long
have I been sleeping
And why do I feel so old
Why do I feel so cold
My heart is saying one thing
But my body won't let go
With trembling
hands she reaches up
A stranger's flesh is offered
And I would be the last to know
I would be
the last the let it show
I would be the last to go

Take her hand she will lead you
Through the fire
oh give you back hope
And hope that you
won't take too much
Respecting what is left
she cradled us
She held us in her arms
Unselfish in her suffering
She could not understand
That no one seemed to
have the time
To cherish what was given
Oh and I would be
the last to know
And I would be the
last to let it show
I would be the last to go

Mary walks

Oh and I would be
the last to know
And I would be the
last to let it show
I would be the last to go

Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home
Why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
After all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me

So don't tell me I
haven't been good to you
Don't tell me I
haven't been there for you
Just tell me why
nothing is good enough

Hey little girl would you like some candy,
your momma said that it's o.k.,
The door is open come on outside,
no I can't come out today,
It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground,
Who's there that makes you so afraid
you're shaken to the bone,
You know I don't understand,
you deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you,
Don't tell me why
he's never been there for you,
And I'll tell you that why
is simply not good enough,
So just let me try
and I will be good to you
Just let me try
and I will be there for you,
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
you know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
this isn't easier than the real thing
My love
you know that you're my best friend
you know I'd do anything for you
my love
let nothing come between us
my love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am I...
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face

Oh god if you're out
there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
oh god the man I love is leaving
won't you take him
when he comes to your door

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face...

Hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
