Minnie Driver - Sea Stories (2008) by Minnie Driver (보컬) on maniadb.com

You court the darkness like she's your lover
A girl you nailed one time
And can't get over
Feverish and sleepless at night
It's only because you cannot
Tear your eyes away from her

If love is the answer you seek
You're asking the kind of questions.
The wrong kind of questions will keep
You asking me, asking me for love
And all the stars and satellites give you nothing.
'Cause all the satellites died.

And all the satellites in your atmosphere
They burn for you but you're cold as mars.
I know you see the light in the sky like I do
But for you they're just dying stars

If love is the answer you seek
You're asking the kind of questions.
The wrong kind of questions will keep
You asking me, asking me for love
And all the stars & satellites give you nothing
'Cause all the satellites died.

I guess there's poetry in a dayless life
And profit to be made from your pain
I hope you call me up if you ever get old
I would like to see your face again

If love is the answer you seek
You're asking the kind of questions
The wrong kind of questions will keep

You asking me, asking me for love
You asking me, asking me for love
You asking me, asking me for love

If love is the answer you seek
You're asking the kind of questions

If love is the answer you seek
You're asking the kind of questions…

I wish you everything good
It's no less than you deserve
Wish I could fake what you want
Oh, I give you my love

Sorry baby
Sorry baby
Sorry baby, I'm sorry baby
I miss you now

You grow like a tree in my life
Yeah, but I'm like a vine
Can't let you carry my weight anymore
Baby, it's mine

Sorry baby
Sorry baby
Sorry baby, I'm sorry baby
I miss you now

You are a thousand miles away
And I can't come find you anymore
Anymore

Oh, I've got a ghost in my head
Yeah, he's a bad man
Some kind of lingering dept
Oh, I pay what I can

Sorry baby
Sorry baby
Sorry baby, I'm sorry baby
I miss you now

The late light of the desert made
The mountains a silhouette
As curved as a woman's side
As far off as I feel inside
This gravity that used to feel like fear
Pulls me to a new conclusion
The light of you is the weight that keeps me here

I wake up with my soul on fire
I'm swimming in my heart's desire not
Drowning in somebody's wake, not
Smiling for somebody's sake
Why don't you just stay here in the sun
Beats me why you disappear honey
Ain't I your beloved one

My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one

I see you blue eyed old and grey still
Up all night 'til break of day.
You dance me across the kitchen floor,
You still got one eye on the door.
How you love me with,
Them halfway eyes.
And when I think there's nothing left
I think of love and all the time it buys.

My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one

The late light of the desert made
The mountains a silhouette
As curved as a woman's side,
As far off as I feel inside.
The battle was hard fought but nobody won,
I'll be your magnetic north baby,
You be my beloved one.

My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one

Sky's on fire
It's blazing up into the sun
Shouting red on everyone
But you're blue

Oh, I'm better than I used to be
Finally got up off my knees
I can't save you

Don't let it bring you downstream
You're drinking all of that cold dark river

Oh, love come down on me
Tell my heart to set me free
Oh, love come down on me

Can't shake you
You're there in everything I know
You're staring out from my soul
In every song, in every song I sing

Mountains, mountains
That I should have learned
I'll stand by and watch them burn with you

Don't let it bring you downstream
You're drinking all of that cold dark river

Oh, love come down on me
Tell my heart to set me free
Oh, love come down on me

Sure do song a pretty song darlin'
Pretty music, lord, and pretty words
Like a lark and sweeter than a starling
But mostly like a mockingbird.

Words that leave your mouth all turn to ashes.
They flutter to the ground like falling snow,
They make a bed that's soft enough to lie in
And your foot steps make no sound as you go.

Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were
Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing, I ever heard.

The colour of desire is a wretched blue,
It burns just like the centre of a flame.
It pulls the loosest thread inside your mind.
It burns everything
But it calls you out by name.

Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were
Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing, I ever heard.

The devil stole the wings from a poor angel
They grew into the skin upon his back
Now half of his heart for me it beats
And the other half just repeats
The things I'm feeling for my mockingbird.

Oh my my my my,
My mockingbird.

Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were
Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing, I ever heard.

I could write the book of you
And illustrate the pages
You shouldn't read it
I'm the one that you put down,
It was written in a hurry,
Slipped through your fingers.

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?

I lay my storms down at your feet
Maybe you'll build a shelter,
Maybe do my heart work for me.
Oh, I kick and scream,
But the job is mine,
So I'll stay by the ocean
You got your own hills to climb.

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?

And I know that I am full of holes
Still they let me, see on through to the other side.
And the southern cross has got you in her sights.

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?

Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around me...

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me

Indigo light as the day starts to fade
Still enough light for me to stand in your shade.
I have developed a good idea
Of the words you love,
Yeah, what you want to hear.

All alone with the wind whistling round your throne.

And I know it wears you down,
So slowly
You chased me all around
Just to show me,
That your head is hanging down
From the weight of your own crown,
You're a king without a queen.

Stop the thunder when you come around,
And the white lighting that burn
Me to the ground.
You say you want me,
But just not now.
Should I be afraid,
Maybe you'll show me how.

And I know it wears you down,
So slowly
You chased me all around
Just to show me,
That your head is hanging down
From the weight of your own crown,
You're a king without a queen.
A king without a queen...

All alone with the wind whistling round your throne.

And I know it wears you down,
So slowly
You chased me all around
Just to show me,
That your head is hanging down
From the weight of your own crown,
You're a king without a queen

Eyes as blue as the cheapest streets
You build your hotels on.
You take the pennies I'm betting with,
Because cash is cash.
I steal your whiskey and cigarettes,
From behind the old television set
It's still got a dial,
When I get sick you smile.

Oh oh are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh oh are you watching?
Mary watch over me.

When I was bloodied and broken,
From a deadbeat kind of love.
You laughed as you held my hand,
And said "go on and cry,
But let that be the very last thing,
That you give him darling
Now let's go on in the house,
And make a voodoo doll."

Oh oh are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh oh are you watching?
Mary watch over me.

Got a faded photograph
A lion just like me
I folded it in half
I keep it with me.

Oh you didn't go quietly
Into the great white shining light,
You were hopped up on love,
And singing Johnny Cash.
You looked up and you yelled at me,
You said "Bad is cheap and good is free,
So don't pull any fast ones kid,
'Cause I'll be watching you."

Oh oh are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh oh are you watching?
Mary watch over me.

Lakewater hair,
The sweetest smile you've seen for awhile
In the green tipped afternoon.
Trade the sun for the moon and the velvet of the night,
Gives you a buzz, gives you a second sight,
You know that she's the one.

Last time you fell in love, was the first time.
Last time you fell in love, was the first time.

Love has a shape,
Feel it swallow dive into your head
And surface in your heart
In the late summer night
There's a bending of time
And a million years seems to last all night,
You know that she's the one.

Last time you fell in love, was the first time.
Last time you fell in love, was the first time.

Oh it gives you something to talk about
Something to hold onto, forever

Say goodbye, a half wave through the window
Of a car then the tail lights drown her out
Go down to the lake and you stay out all night,
You get pretty drunk, feel bad inside,
That girl was the one.

Last time you fell in love, was the first time.
Last time you fell in love, was the first time.

I'm an alien in my life,
Don't you know
My skin is white as snow.
I went running to the sun it burned me up,
A painful kind of fun.

You, your loving me give me eyes to see.

Rain, cool me down
I'm feverish oh, and i'm to blame,
Rain, calling me from London Skies,
Bring me home again.

And you always let me go,
Even when you knew I was gone for good
In the wreckage of the hell I made,
You were there, the fire storm and you.

You, your loving me give me eyes to see.

Rain, cool me down
I'm feverish oh, and i'm to blame,
Rain, calling me from London Skies,
Bring me home again.

So I tell you that I love you,
Though words are cheap
And they cannot buy me time.
When my shadow cuts my life in two,
I can see, the best of me is you.

You, your loving me give me eyes to see.
You, you'll never know how much you mean to me.

Rain, cool me down
I'm feverish oh, and i'm to blame,
Rain, calling me from London Skies,
Bring me home again.

We alter and grow,
Oh how we change,
But some things stay immutable
We alter and grow,
Oh how we change,
But some things stay immutable
Like love.

I see you coming back to life
I didn't know when you died.
I watch you in the morning sun
You're sleeping hard alone but,
Now I think the darkness is done.

Believe, believe in me, and I will
Be in your real life, your real life.

People feeling safe when you're sad
Throws into relief what they have
And sympathy just tightens the knot
They're smiling but they're thinking
"...there but for the grace of God..."

Believe, believe in me, and I will
Be in your real life, your real life.

Let me be in your real life, your real life,
I'll take the weight of your real life,
Your real life, oh your real life
Not the one you made to hide away.

I had a dream of you and I,
We were falling side by side
There was no where left for us to be
And nothing complicated
Just the way you looked at me...

When I saw your eyes for the first time
They were bluer than in my dream.
I felt my life, run to catch you up,
And I was there before you smiled.

Love is love, hoe can I stop
Know that I never would,
'Cause you are something,
And we are nothing,
But love is good.
