and when she walked in the room after so many years He looked up and saw her He was standing at the crossroads she was moving in slow motion Everything was the same except that everything was different In that very moment, everyone was silent, and everyone was friendly for the First time in years Everyone was smiling though their pain was apparent And the floor was wet and slippery with the tracks of their tears
: And then i see someone standing at the side of the stage Not standing in the shadows, i see her face, glowing in the darkness in her own Angel way I have come to make you better, i have come to take you away
No one slipped and fell this time everyone was steady Someone held my arm so that i would not fall For the first time in at long time Everyone was ready No one said a word and that simply said it all
Walking through the room together in suspended animation No one saw us go, no one said goodbye But in my heart i leave great expectations that you will find the answers to Your questions And that life will once more be a celebration And that you will be touched by an angel And that you will be touched by an angel And that you will be touched by an angel
You've left me now and it's seasoned my soul And with every step you take, I watch another part of you go...
I continue to build a wall... You were so strong, I fell to my knees... And I don't think I can handle this at all...
One more night I'd like to lie and hold you Yes and feel... To make you smile, I'd like to be there for you-- Have you forgotten me?
And the days go by Doing nothing about them... How much time will I have to spend?
My mind won't rest and I don't sleep Not even in my dreams...
If you ever did believe, for my sake... If you ever did believe....
And the days go by Doing nothing about them... How much time will I have to spend?
ooo....ooo.....ooo... Ooo baby don't leave me ooo..ooo...ooo...ooo I'm down on my knees... ooo..ooo...ooo...ooo begging you please... ooo...ooo...ooo...ooo baby don't leave me.... Did you ever believe?
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 sea
How 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
Silent night Holy night All is calm All is bright 'Round yon virgin Mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night Holy night Son of God Oh love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord at Thy birth Oh Jesus Lord at Thy birth...
Sleep Sleep Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Peace Sleep Sleep Sleep in heavenly peace
This was not pre-planned but after some calls I decided to go to the other side of the world I see something, I see a handsome soldier I see myself remaining when all of you are gone And the reason that I paint you in my paintings And the reason I record the sound of your voices
No one walks away from this battle From the power, it's so strong like a fury Keep that fury deep inside you And wish it to end And when your friends start asking you why You just say nothing
The beautiful and the sensitive and the, oh, so very young We are adapting to your silence I can live here without you, at least I'm learning But I cannot live without your songs
Who have you been with? Have you been with friends or is there more? (You're not listening to me) Have you been writing, well, you say it's harder now Well, I got the message, stay among the living
From what I can tell I need to be here You say someone's looking for you Nothing is wrong Well, I can and I will go on
When this battle is over, I feel I will survive In the battle of the dragon No one walks away Oh, you wish it to the end, wish it to the end
I remember him, he was very young No one spoke like him, he was someone And I carried on, like I couldn't stop All of it for us baby
And you, you got in my way Stood between me and my friends It was my sin, it was my shame You were unconscious to the pain I was in
[Chorus:] I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Down to the sea Show me the way back, honey I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Show me the way back...to the sea
With honor be it spoken To understand this light that we carry And let it light your way Of course, you know, I generally take it Well I make accommodations for you And consider this You used to be my love I make excuses for you
[Chorus]
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby I know you can, I've seen you do it And it brings up the wind And it rises around you in pillars of color
But the promise has been broken As you walk through the shadow of death You try to see no evil But you are heartbroken You say, dear God, make it stop!
Before the dawn of separation Brings up the wind Rises around you I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La Pillars of color Trouble in Shangri-La I make accommodations for you
I guess we don't believe That things could go that far We all believe in people... That we think believe in God Somewhere in the night... Someone feels the pain The ones who walk away Try to love again...
[Chorus]
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby Because you are so heartbroken You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby Before the dawn of separation You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby Show me the way back
For no special reason I am leaving you for awhile tonight I'm flying far above you Still I love you You make things right
[Chorus:] I've been with you before I'll be with you again I'll come back for more, yea The story has a strange ending
Well, you know me I'm a nomad I can't feel bad About the way I am I've been rolling around My whole life You're my candlebright in the window
[Chorus:] You guide me back again And I come when you shine You are not my friend, no But I am something of a dreamer I am something of a dreamer I am something of a dreamer
[Repeat verse and Chorus]
Still I love you My candlebright You are not my friend But still I love you You're my candlebright Still I love you But you are not my friend But still I love you I can't feel bad
Timeless in your finery It's a high price For your luxury
[Chorus:] Sorcerer Who is the master A man and woman on a star stream In the middle of a snow dream Sorcerer Show me the high life Come over Let me put you on ice
All around black ink darkness And who found lady from the mountains All around black ink darkness And who found lady from the mountains Lady from the mountains
I'm tired I need you badly I'm wild-eyed In my misery
Timeless in your finery It's a high price For your luxury
The bright light is lying down The earth and the sea and the sky Is at rest with the ocean And the days go by They go into the seas that have no shores Haunted by that same closed door Looking up at skies on fire Leaving nothing left of us To discover And the planets of the universe Go their way Not astounded by the sun or the moon Or by the day You and I will simply disappear Out of sight But I'm afraid soon there'll be No light
No doubt no pain Come ever again well Let there be light in this lifetime In the cool silent moments of the nighttime of the nighttime And the planets of the universe Go their way Not astounded by the sun or the moon Or by the day We will never change again The way that we are changing Well you'll forget the chill of love But not the strain Now I know Well I was wrong To live for a dream If I had my life to live over I would never dream no I still wish you gone And I will live alone Yes I will live alone And the planets of the universe Go their way I know believe Not astounded by the sun or the moon Or by the day I know believe You and I will simply disappear Out of sight well I'm afraid soon there'll be No light You will never love again The way you love me You will never rule again The way you ruled me You will never change again The way you're changing
Don't keep me hangin' on a string Tell me what I feel is no big thing Don't turn away I'm listening Over and over again Don't give me visions to explain There are no doubts I feel the strain Of all my senses yearning Over and over again ::Chorus:: Every day I see you Every day I need you Every way I breathe you On and on and on and on again It's not important to wonder why What is just is no more to imply This simple thought repeating Over and over again Imagine all the ways to cope I close my eyes, that gives me hope It cures the silence
There's a plane, it's headed for London Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it Ooh, I can't stop it
There's a house there, somebody's waiting Somebody else's arms will wrap around him And in that moment what will he think then... When I can't touch him
[Chorus:] Maybe my love could fly over the ocean Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone All that I really know is that he's goin' Too far from Texas Too close to home
In a room just outside of Houston That's where I spend my nights trying to get through to him He says he's comin' back in every letter... But he might never No he might never
[Chorus]
Does he know how long I've waited for this love to come Does he know I'm holdin' on And that won't change no matter where he's gone
[Chorus]
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
Dreams reoccur in my solitude Breaking my heart Injuring my mood With all of the things that I thought I knew It was you
[Chorus:] Well the conversation rings in my head Well you know me better than I know myself Will you write this for me He says no, you write your songs yourself That made me stronger It made me hold on to me
Well, I remember You caught my eye It was late September It was no surprise He made me better His songs were soft and tender sometimes
Well the conversations ring in my head I remember everything that we said All those tears that we shed
[Chorus]
The conversations ring in my head I remember everything that we said All those tears that we shed Don't call me when you're lonely
[Chorus]
Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul To stay back Everything has changed now And I don't want to go back And nothing you can say can change my mind
Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul To stay back Everything has changed now And I don't want to go back And nothing you can say can change my mind
It wasn't that I didn't love you I just couldn't make you see That as hard as I tried To make it all better It was not better for me The love that I gave you was...
All around you There was nothing left for me
But I hate to say it But I saw it coming My feelings were changing
I only say what you want to hear When there is a conflict I stay clear When he was loving I was in tears He knows my fears
I wish I could figure a way around this She says...like a sad song I don't understand the way that I feel I am terrified of being wrong Well, I am not happy And I am not crazy Are you listening, do you hear Everything happens for a reason Stay clear
I only say what you want to hear When there is a conflict I stay clear When he was loving I was in tears He knows my fears
When love changes in the flash of an eye It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road You stand there you got nothing to hold For the first time you are alone For the first time you are alone
It wasn't that I didn't love you But I just couldn't make you see That as hard as I tried to make it all better It was not better for me The love that I gave you was all around you There was nothing left for me But I hate to say it But I saw it coming My feelings were changing
I only say what you want to hear When there is a conflict I stay clear When he was loving I was in tears He knows my fears
When love changes in the flash of an eye It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road You stand there you got nothing to hold For the first time you are alone For the first time you are alone
That don't mend the sorrow Or reinvent the pleasure
When I think about you I think about how much I Miss you when you're not around When I think about you I think about how much I Can't wait to hear the sound Of your laughter Time and distance never matter
[Chorus:] Well I miss you now I have so many questions About love and about pain About strained relationships About fame as only he could explain it to me
Seems like yesterday I think about how much I Wish that you were here with me now The invisible girl that was my name She walks in and walks out And I'm sorry now I'm sorry now
[Chorus]
Paris to Rome, London to Paris Always goodbye, I nearly couldn't bear it Her heart settles down She's back on that staircase On the way up to her place
Youbeloved Were to me - everything That love stood for To love one another for awhile Was enough - It was all that I lived for How can I go on without you Can I go on - without you I tell myself - this time I'm going to have to - Move on
[Chorus:] It's like Bombay sapphires Hey I can take you higher Whatever you desire I can mend your heart
It is green It is aqua marine It is colors I have never seen I can see past you - to the white sand... It is blue It is not about you It is all true You knowwho I am
The sea never changes - not really It is the constant in my life I always return here To the flash of those colors Through every window The wind through the night Here I am dramatic Here I am not waiting Here I am not listening For the call of the wind
[Chorus]
It's like purple haze It's there every day Its passion never fades You know what I mean
I choose to be his confidant And to keep him from the fire I choose to be quietly discreet If that is his desire I touch with gossamer wings To be quiet around you There is so much going on You could easily
[Chorus:] Wake up with a stranger It's not something you plan One night in a world of pain And you finally understand Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men Could put it back together
You say you wouldn't do this for very long The applause from it all is so defining Well it bounces off the wall at you When the miracle is happening High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this Twice as much, intensified What people will do To get...this...high
[Chorus]
And now alone in my room As it all begins again Was I so wrong Why am I always so intense In this same place I sit The same place as before Well I came all the way here Just to watch you walk out that door
I didn't ask when you shook your head I always accepted what you said As the truth and the truth only Well it's not enough that you depend on me And it's not enough that you say you love me It's not enough to just save face Because sometimes You just fall from grace Sometimes You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now Maybe things are fine Maybe I made the whole thing up Maybe it isn't a lie Maybe the reason I say these things Is to bring you back alive Maybe I fought this long and this hard Just to make sure you survive Just to make sure you survive
Do you know what this is No, I don't But whatever it is It's very powerful Have you felt this way before Oh, I thought I knew Do you know that I love you now Oh yes, I do
Love is... You've got the softest lips
You know that I cannot stay Yes, I know It has nothing to do With you or with love Oh, yes it does Do not call or come around here Do not tell You know that I loved you then Oh well...
Love is... You've got the softest lips Love is... The touch of your fingertips Love is... Knowing you won't let go
She awakens things That he said he thought were dead He says, are you happy now Oh yes, I am But when it's over How then will you feel Will you miss those arms that used to go Around you
So she stood there in the hallway frozen In the dark And her heart broke down She cried She fell to the floor
One tear slid across her lips To the corner of her mouth Love is... And dropped to the floor
Love is... You've got the softest lips Love is... The touch of your fingertips Ooh, she says love is Knowing you wont let go Love is... Watching you go
You're so very powerful Love is...
Am I happy Yes I am Do I know you love me now Yes I do Do I know you cannot stay I know All about love All about love
