Kurt Elling

The white, electric skillet of a day
threatened to sear us all away -
fat frying, spluttering - rank Chicago smeltering along,
smothered in heavy, wooly sweat,
the city knew a sad regret
for staying long in summer's heavy.No escape. Delirious.
So I went subterraneous.
Maybe I'd dream about Dolores'
kinda' auburn hair

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he, And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he, And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Minuano
Music by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays
Lyric by Kurt Elling
Originally titled "Minuano (Six Eight)" from the 1987 recording Still Life (Talking)

Day comes slowly - absorbing the darknesses softly.
Night leaves gently - her beauty is spent, and she rises.
I step into the lightness - I hear you.
You're calling me out of my sadness.
Your flowering wonders are calling me home.

Darkness lingers - but always surrenders to loving.
Darkest midnight - is swallowed in oceans of laughter.
I follow into lightness - I hear you.
You're calling me out of my sadness.
Your flowering wonders are calling me home.

Dancing along a dawn that leads to you -
Singing a song that blossoms in a fugue as morning settles on
Dreaming into a sky of brilliant blue -
Noticing clouds are whispering that you will dance with me very soon

Already been as high as Kathmandu -
`Willing to go as far as Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today -
maybe today will finally be the day

Flying along a dawn that leads to you -
Singing a song that makes itself anew - a music magic wand
Reaching into a sky of brilliant blue -
eagles are calling out to say the you will dance me very soon

Already been as high as Kathmandu -
Willing to go as far a Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today -
maybe today we'll make our getaway!
Like light from the stars made ten thousand years ago - comes love, like a gift of sight
Growing stronger every moment on the way home.

Never My Love




You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love


You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love
Never my love

What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends on you



You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love



Never my love
Never my love

How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life with me




절대 그렇지 않아요 내사랑



당신은 내게 묻죠 그런 날이 올지

내가 당신이 싫증이 날 때가..

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

당신은 궁금해했죠 나의 이 마음이

당신을 향한 갈망이 사라질지..

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

당신은 왜 사랑이 끝날 것이라고 생각하죠?

나의 전부의 인생이 당신에게 달려있다는 것을 알면서


당신은 내게 말하죠 나의 맘이 바뀔까봐 두렵다고

내가 당신을 원하지 않을 거라고

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑


절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

절대 그렇지 않아요 내 사랑

어떻게 당신은 사랑이 끝날 것이라고 생각하죠

당신은 나와 같이 평생을 같이 살자고 해놓고서는.

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

She's come undun
She found a moutain that was far too high
And she found out she couldn't fly
And it was too late...

Now it's too late,
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun...

She's come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realise
That it was too late...

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

Now it's too late,
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun...
She's come undun (2x)

Too many moutains
And not enough stairs to climb
Too many churches
And not enough truth to find
Too many people
And not enough eyes to see
Too many lies to lead
And not enough time...

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

She's come undun
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realise
That it was too late...

Now it's too late,
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun...
She's come undun (3x)
She wanted truth but all she got was lies,
She's come undun (2x)

She's come undun
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when she found what she was headed for
It was too late...

She's come undun
She found a moutain that was far too high
And she found out she couldn't fly
And it was too late...

Now it's too late,

If I should write a book for you
That brought me fame and fortune too
That book would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you.
And, if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be, like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
To you, because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
To you because with you I know one lifetime could be just one heavenly place.
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wonderous as you are.
That star would be, like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
To you, because your love is a beacon that lights up my way
To you because with you I know one lifetime could be just one heavenly place
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wonderous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you.
