Willie Nelson | I Can See Clearly Now | /w/willie+nelson/i+can+see+clearly+now_20171839.html | I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
Oh, what a bright, (bright)
Sun-shiny day

Willie Nelson | I Can't Begin To Tell You | /w/willie+nelson/i+cant+begin+to+tell+you_20171697.html | I can't begin to tell you
How much you mean to me.
My world would end if ever we were through.
I can't begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind like others do.
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart,
But when your near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart.
So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I've said them all to you.

Willie Nelson | I Can't Find The Time | /w/willie+nelson/i+cant+find+the+time_20649356.html | I've searched through each moment of each passing hour,
But your memory grows stronger, I find.
Oh, they tell me, in time, I'll forget you,
But somehow, I can't find the time.
They tell me, in time, I'll find another,
An' happiness, again, will be mine.
Oh, they tell me, in time, I'll forget you,
But somehow, I can't find the time.
Somethin' each moment reminds me of you:
You always end up on my mind.
Oh, they tell me, in time, I'll forget you,
But somehow, I can't find the time.
Somethin' each moment reminds me of you:
You always end up on my mind.
Oh, they tell me, in time, I'll forget you,
But somehow, I can't find the time.

Willie Nelson | I Couldn't Believe It Was True | /w/willie+nelson/i+couldnt+believe+it+was+true_20168489.html | Last night I came home
And I knocked on my door
And I called to my love
As I often had before
And I knocked and I knocked
But no answer there came
No kisses to greet me
No voice called my name
And I couldn't believe it was true
Oh Lord, I couldn't believe it was true
And my eyes filled with tears
And I must have aged ten years
And I couldn't believe it was true
The shock was so great
I am quivering yet
I'll try to forgive
But I cannot forget
My heartbreaking loss
Is another man's gain
And her happiness always
I hope will remain
And I couldn't believe it was true
Oh Lord, I couldn't believe it was true
And my eyes filled with tears
And I must have aged ten years
And I couldn't believe it was true

Willie Nelson | I Didn't Come Here (And I Ain't Leavin') | /w/willie+nelson/i+didnt+come+here+and+i+aint+leavin_20827782.html | I built a big pile of peanut shells on the sawdust floor
I winked at every pretty girl comin' in and out the door
Yellin', 'Hey bartender, how 'bout two more''
Bottle by bottle I'm clearin' off that shelf
And I feel so good that I'm not quite myself
Now, they're tellin' me that I gotta find someplace else
Well, guess what
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
I've been thrown into better places than this
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
If you wanna pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss
Well, I spent my dollar and drank up my last dime
Now, they're actin' like havin' fun is some kind of crime
If it'll make you feel better mister, I'll tell you one more time
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
I've been thrown into better places than this
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
Why don't you pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss
Now, you can call me a taxi
And you can call me a cab
I know you're gonna call me something
When I can't pay this tab
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
I've been thrown into better places than this
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'
If you wanna pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss
Why don't you pucker up, I got just the place for you to kiss

Willie Nelson | I Didn't Sleep A Wink | /w/willie+nelson/i+didnt+sleep+a+wink_20180754.html | Didn't sleep a wink last night,
'Cause you walked out the night before.
Just been sittin' here, rottin', hoping you'd come knockin',
Knocking at my door.
Watched the moon pass by my window,
The stars faded out of sight.
The sun came into view, an' still I thought of you,
An' I didn't sleep a wink last night.
Tryin' to remember what I'd done,
To make you treat me so.
What have I been guilty of?
Well, I'd just like to know.
Thought if we could talk it over,
Maybe I could make things right.
'Cause until I'm forgiven, I'm exisitin', I'm not livin',
An' I didn't sleep a wink last night.
I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Willie Nelson | I Don't Do Windows | /w/willie+nelson/i+dont+do+windows_20649352.html | You treated me like a doggone dog for so long
But I went along to keep peace in our home
But there's some things that I just won't do
I think it's time that I told them to you
I don't do windows and I won't go to hell for you
Although honey, hell is what you put me through
I'll do the clothes if you won't come unglued
And I'll clean the stove to keep you in a good mood
But you've been mean to me sometime
I think I better tell you what's on my mind
I don't do windows and I don't come to work 'til nine
And if you make me mad, I won't come to work any time
I want Sundays off so I can go out and play golf with all the boys
Honey, I'm tired of being just one of your toys
And there's one more thing that you don't understand
I wanna be treated like a natural man
I don't do windows and I don't play second hands
I said I don't do windows and I won't play second fiddle in your band

Willie Nelson | I Don't Feel Anything | /w/willie+nelson/i+dont+feel+anything_20649351.html | I don't feel anything what was I worried for
I don't feel love or hate or anything that I felt before
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
How I must have loved you once upon a time
And I can't seem to feel emotion now of any kind
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
'Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
You look the same as always time's been good to you
But I must confess that time has done a few things for me too
Why was I so afraid
But it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
|
Willie Nelson | I Gotta Get Drunk | /w/willie+nelson/i+gotta+get+drunk_20210101.html | Well I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money
Call everybody honey
And wind up singing the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck
On some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
But I gotta get drunk
And I sure do dread it
Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
Who'd like to hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
That I'd better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunkers
Than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round
Well now I gotta get drunk
Well I gotta get drunk
|
Willie Nelson | I Hope So | /w/willie+nelson/i+hope+so_20217618.html | You say your heart will never break:
I hope so, for your sake.
But happiness is sometimes hard,
For hearts to cling to.
You say he'll always be with you:
I hope so, for your sake.
But should he find somebody new,
What would you do?
If you were wrong, would you confess?
I wouldn't know, but I could guess,
That you would act the same as I,
An' cry.
And should these things ever come true,
When love is gone, what will you do?
Will you accept my love for you?
I hope so, for my sake.
If you were wrong, would you confess?
I wouldn't know, but I could guess,
That you would act the same as I,
An' cry.
And should these things ever come true,
When love is gone, what will you do?
Will you accept my love for you?
I hope so, for my sake.

Willie Nelson | I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye | /w/willie+nelson/i+just+cant+let+you+say+goodbye_20649348.html | I had not planned on seeing you
I was afraid of what I'd do
But pride is strong, here am I
And I just can't let you say goodbye
Please have no fear, you're in no harm
As long as you're here in my arms
But you can't leave so please don't try
But I just can't let you say goodbye
What force behind your evil mind
Can let your lips speak so unkind
To one who loves as much as I
I just can't let you say goodbye
The flesh around your throat is pale
Intended by my fingernails
Please don't scream and please don't cry
Cause I just can't let you say goodbye
Your voice is still, it speaks no more
You'll never hurt me anymore
Death is a friend to love and I
Cause now you'll never say goodbye

Wilson Phillips | All The Way From New York | /w/wilson+phillips/all+the+way+from+new+york_20147066.html | I'm gonna ask you for something, and it may sound like a lot.
I've never really asked you for anything, no.
We've always lived so far apart
[Chorus]
Would you fly all the way from New York to see me?
Could you fly all the way to stand here next to me?
I didn't think so
But here you are with me.
I was hanging on to nothing as a child.
And my brother, he used to slam into walls
Everyone called him wild
Yes it's been a while since I've had a day,
Where I don't wish away all the fear, all the fear
That's why it's so hard to ask
[Chorus]
Thank you for coming.
You'll never know what it means (ah..ah)
'Cause no one ever cared enough about you
How were you supposed to know what I need
You'll never know what it means
But thank you for coming.
[Chorus]

Wilson Phillips | Alone | /w/wilson+phillips/alone_20147067.html | Alone, alone with a sky of romance above
Alone, alone on a night that was meant for love
There must be someone waiting
Who feels the way I do
Who ever you are, are you, are you
Alone, alone on this night that we two could share
Alone, alone with your kiss that could make me care
And when you come I'll promise to be your very own
Alone, alone with a heart meant for you alone, alone
Alone, alone with a sky of romance above
Alone, alone on a night that was meant for love
There must be someone waiting
Who feels the way I do
Who ever you are, are you, are you
Alone, alone on this night that we two could share
Alone, alone with your kiss that could make me care
And when you come I'll promise to be your very own

Wilson Phillips | Already Gone | /w/wilson+phillips/already+gone_10188122.html | Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
But remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)
And I'm already gone (I'm already gone)
And I'm feelin' strong (now I'm feelin' strong)
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo
Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free (oh baby)
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
Oh no
But me, I'm already gone (I'm already gone)
And I'm feelin' strong (now I'm feelin' strong)
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone

Wilson Phillips | California | /w/wilson+phillips/california_10188121.html | Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot are left to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh, but California
California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a sunset pig
California I'm coming home
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you, California
California I'm coming home
Oh make me feel good rock 'n roll band
I'm your biggest fan
California, I'm coming home
[Chorus]
Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues
So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading rolling stone, reading vogue
They said, how long can you hang around?
I said a week, maybe two,
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California
California I'm coming home
Will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Yeah
Take me as I am
Will you
Will you

Wilson Phillips | Daniel | /w/wilson+phillips/daniel_20147052.html | Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and, I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it loks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain's pretty
Though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and, he should know 'cause he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel
Oh I miss him so much
Oh, Daniel my brother
you are older then me
Do you still feel the pain
of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died
But you see more than I
Daniel you're a star
in the face of the sky
I miss Daniel
Oh I miss him so much
Oh, Daniel my brother
you are older then me
Do you still feel the pain
of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died

God it loks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes

It looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes

Wilson Phillips | Dedicated To The One I Love | /w/wilson+phillips/dedicated+to+the+one+i+love_21006596.html | While I'm far away from you, my baby,
I know it's hard for you, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.
Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs.
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,

Then it's something that everybody needs
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above

This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love

Wilson Phillips | Doctor My Eyes | /w/wilson+phillips/doctor+my+eyes_10188127.html | Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Is it too late
Is it too late for me
Tell me doctor
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the price for having learned how not to cry

Wilson Phillips | Don't Worry Baby | /w/wilson+phillips/dont+worry+baby_21006597.html | Well its been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

She lies overtime
You'd nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
I'm not that kind
My friend's flesh and blood
Night size, perfect ten
So rude, she's no good
But as she says
It pays to win
Play to win
She plays to win
My friend's flesh and blood
Street wise for her time
You'd nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time

In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room, in my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray

I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
It doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Mmm but when that change comes
Will you still feel the same?
How many times have I tried to turn this love around?
I don't want to give up
But baby it's time I had two feet on the ground

Oh, if you'd have come down from your high
Would we've been all right?
Release me
Can you release me
Come on baby, come on baby
You knew it was time to just let go
'Cause we want to be free
But somehow it's just not that easy
Come on Darlin', hear me Darlin'
'Cause you're a waste of time for me
I'm trying to make you see
That baby you've just got to release me
Release me
Release me
I'm not going back to you anymore

What you're looking for

Wilson Phillips | The Dream Is Still Alive | /w/wilson+phillips/the+dream+is+still+alive_20147084.html | Not so long ago we were so in phase
You and I could never forget the days
But then the fire seemed to flicker
Cold wind came and it carried us away
But we'll get back someday, baby
The dream is still alive
Look here in my eyes
Can you see what I'm feeling?
The dream is still alive
The one of you and I
And my heartache is healing
I couldn't let it die
No I knew it would survive
The dream is still alive
Not so long ago in a purple haze
People dreamed out loud they were not afraid
They stopped the war but not the dying
Some got a little bit lost along the way
But somehow we're here today (And we say..)
The dream is still alive
After all this time
The flame keeps on burning
The dream is still alive
The one of you and I
And my heartache is healing
I couldn't let it die
No I knew it would survive
The dream is, the dream is still alive
Oh yeah..
The dream is still alive
Look here in my eyes
Can you see what I'm feeling
The dream is still alive
The one of you and I
And my heartache is healing
I couldn't let it die
For all the times we tried
The dream is still alive

Wilson Phillips | This Doesn't Have To Be Love | /w/wilson+phillips/this+doesnt+have+to+be+love_20147085.html | Softly, love is standing here with its demands
(Tell me what you want from me, you want from me)
Slowly, I think I'm letting go of all my plans
(Tell me where we're goin' to, we're goin' to)
Why, why am I afraid to give into this
Why am I afraid?
[Chorus]
This doesn't have to be love
But it's all I can feel, it's all that I fear.
This doesn't have to be anything at all,
So hard to fall (from this high above)
But do we have to call it love?
I hold back, from everything I really want to say
(Should I let my guards down, my guards down, my guards down)
I don't, I don't make commitments that could break
(Maybe it's just too late, it's just too late)
I, I'm so afraid to give into this
I'm so afraid, Oh
[Chorus]
Need a little time to think things through, Baby
Do I really want to give myself, give all myself to you, now?
I can't believe it's happening so fast
'Cause I don't want to bring back what I left in the past, No.
[Chorus]
So hard to fall... in love
This doesn't have to be... love
(Love, love is all I feel... your love is what I fear)
Love me... love me
So hard to fall
So very hard to fall.

Wilson Phillips | Where Are You | /w/wilson+phillips/where+are+you_20147076.html | I'm all grown up
But somehow, it feels like I'm pretending
Visions of my younger years, they are buried
But the scenes that play inside of me, are impending
They are never ending...
[Chorus]
Where, where, where, where, where are you?
You don't have to look out that window, anymore.
You can just come back to yourself, you can come back to this world.
Where are you? Tell me who heard you. And where are you?
He led me into his room, and had me lay down
My heart, and my soul, and anything else that you could own,
When you're six years old.
But now I'm older
[Chorus]
Such a quiet secret, it hurt too much trying hard to keep it.
Oh, and I looked up to you... I wanted so much to believe in you.
I wanted so much for you to believe it me.
Oh I tried, I tried.
Where, where, where, where, where are you?
You don't have to look out anymore.
I don't have to look out of that window anymore.
I can just, come back to myself, I can come back this world
Where are you? Tell me who heard you? And where are you now?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Tell me who hurt you.

I'd give it right to you.
But I don't have it.
How could I ever find it?
The strength to let you go, 'cause I don't have it.
When will I have it?
And it goes and it goes on.
And it goes on.
You won't see me cry.
You know I decided.
that I'm gonna pull myself together and find a way to fight it.
I'm gonna have to hide it.
You won't see me cry.
You won't see me cry.
I've got no choice but to face it.
I have to let you know that I don't like it.
My love is good for someone and it may take some time,
but I will find him.
Why should I waste it?
When I go, (when I go)
when I go on, I will go on.
You won't see me cry.
You know I decided.
that I'm gonna pull myself together and find a way to fight it.
Oh no. Even if I have to hide it.
You won't see me cry.

You know I decided. That I'm gonna pull myself together
I finally decided and I found the way to fight it.

Gotta hold of your back, I like it like that
Do the Jerk, watch me work
Ah, do it!

Wilson Pickett | Mama Told Me Not To Come | /w/wilson+pickett/mama+told+me+not+to+come_20862215.html | Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me?
This is the wildest party that there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light 'cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, "That ain't no way to have fun"
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking on the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking 'bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath
The radio is blasting, someone's beating on the door
Our hostess is not lasting - she's out on the floor
I seen so many things here I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is - but I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, "That ain't no way to have fun"

Not just a little part, but all of your heart, sugar

To start this thing off right,
A man need a little love and affection,
Yes he do, now.

All right. Lookie here,
We got to bring it all down, start getting it right.
We got to stop this messing around,
And keep the thing up tight,

All right, sugar.
Got to have a hundred,
Got to have a hundred.
All right.
Ooh, I must do, I must do,
I must do now.

Got to have a hundred!
Oh! Got to have a hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hundred, too right.
Got to have a hundred, now. Oh

Wilson Pickett | Stagger Lee | /w/wilson+pickett/stagger+lee_20313954.html | The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"
Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four
Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass

(That's a man's way)
Of lovin' you, yes, it is, yes, it is, child
One more thing, I know I buy you so many fancy things

But that's a man's way, oh, that's a man's way
(That's a man's way)
Of lovin' you, yes, it is, yes, it is, child
If I had to leave you and go away, you know what?
I'd write you a letter each and every day
One more thing, I know you get so tired of me callin' you on the phone
But that's a man's way of sayin' you just don't wanna be all alone
If you give me a million things to do, you know what?
I'd do them all, baby, just to get back home to you
That's a man's way, oh, that's a man's way

Wishbone Ash | Alone | /w/wishbone+ash/alone_20241279.html | Sit by the river's edge, and watch the water flow,
Sunlight that touched your face, and told you not to go.
Where, oh where, you search your heart - how much do you need?
All the things that take you far away from being alone.
Stay where your fellowship have watched you hide inside,
Don't you alarm the path where danger's arrows fly.
Places everywhere that seem to have no other days,
Calling out from what could only still be all alone.
Rain falls into your life, and leisure steals away,
Love and wishes floating down under today.
Sit by the river's edge, and watch the water flow,
Sunlight that touched your face, and told you not to go.
Where, oh where, you ask yourself - how much do you need?
All the things that take you far away from being alone.

Wishbone Ash | Ancient Remedy | /w/wishbone+ash/ancient+remedy_20833255.html | If I seem a bit crazy
It's because these thoughts they crowd my mind
Gets a little bit hazy
These events distort my sense of time
My heart's like a cave where the sun
The sun refuse to shine
Well, it's bleeding me dry
It's a little like an ancient remedy
Nowhere left to hide
Leeching all my energy
My thoughts turn to death
When I'm in your company
It used to be that our planets
Were so perfectly aligned in our time
If you could see that, now it's harder to bring back
All your dreams and all you've left way behind
there's been a subtle shift
In the population's hearts and minds
Is there something I missed'
Something kinda hard to define
Now we search for evidence
Of the stranger in our midst
It used to be that our planets
Were so perfectly aligned in our time

Wishbone Ash | Angels Have Mercy | /w/wishbone+ash/angels+have+mercy_20147312.html | Look in the mirror, and what do you see?
Reflections of a person that used to be.
You're running 'round town, creating bad debts -
Let's face it, baby, your life is a mess.
You're driving fast now, and speeding again -
That'll never help you ease the pain.
There's nothing in a bottle you can take from the shelf
That'll bring you back to earth, 'cause you need help.
The angels have mercy on you,
But they can't stop you doing what you wanna do.
May the angels have mercy on you -
I'm gonna help you pull through.
Now you're headed down a one-way street -
Let the needle return.
I've been there. who you meet?
Watch out, you're gonna get burned.
You can't blame me for the mess you're in -
All your life you've been fooling yourself.
I'll help you if I can -
You know I'll be there.
Life's too sweet to show this lack of care.
The angels have mercy on you,
But they can't stop you doing what you wanna do.
May the angels have mercy on you -
I'm gonna help you pull through.
Take a look, a look at yourself. (three times)
As the angels have mercy on you!

Wishbone Ash | Anger In Harmony | /w/wishbone+ash/anger+in+harmony_20147236.html | No smoke without fire
When will you ever learn
That's what you said to me
Bigger the head that turns,
I say, maybe he's happy
So quick to fire, never a liar in honesty
It's hinged on a stranger thing
Than friends or enemies
From where comes the song I sing
Anger in harmony
Could he be in love again?
You know that she's got the touch
The thing is we're just good friends
Smoke without fire don't mean too much
Your trigger finger's itching on your loaded tongue
But it's hinged on a stranger thing
Than friends or enemies
From where comes the song I sing
Anger in harmony

You never told me you'd be there.
Nothing was said, but it was understood.
I never doubted that you'd care.
Another time, another memory,
Like the light from a burning star.
Another time you will come back to me
Like a messenger from afar.
Now the storm breaks without a warning,
With no time for us to prepare.
Now more than ever how I need you.
I never doubted you'd be there.
Oh, the prophecy
Of what it's gonna be
For you and me,
Oh, forgive me if I wander
From the path that we were on.
You never told me you'd be waiting,
You never told me you'd be there.
Now more than ever how I need you.
I never doubted you'd be there.

If the sky was light
And the moon shine brightly
Then we?d be away tonight
Better chance be taken
Than love forsaken
This ain't no mistake that I'm making.
Baby the angels are here,
Brought me a Bible and a gun,
Baby I wanted to stay with you,
But they're saying I?d better run,
Cause heaven?s a footstep away.
Well I was hoping to make it
Sometimes you put it together
Before you try
Let it take it?s course,
Because you just can't force it
And I don't want to break down and cry.
Baby the angels are here,
Brought me a Bible and a gun,
Baby I wanted to stay with you,
But they're saying I?d better run,
Cause heaven?s a footstep away.

And it weakens me, so make your loving flow.

I just come of age, my car is stood outside.
Got my wings and I'm looking for a place to roost -
Cruise with the boys, catch anything on the loose.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I'm going to accelerate in some old fatty bar, yes sir,
If I hit the deck, just pick me up for some more.
Going to look around 'till the first girl smiles at me,
And on the way home I'll check out her i.d.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love at first sight.
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love.
I'm going to write my graffiti on the wall -
Paint this town like it's never been done before.
The way I feel, there's nothing I can't do,
So hold on, baby, I'm coming straight on through.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love at first sight.
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love.
Running wild with the pack, ace up my sleeve,
Got a taste of your love, and it's blinding me.
Can't see straight, that's for sure.
Me, I'm knocking on your pearly door.
Going down the road, and my tail lights glow...
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love at first sight.
I can't fight love,
I can't fight love.
Don't want to fight your love,
Can't fight love.
Don't want to fight your love,
Can't fight love.
Got to give it to me now.
Can't fight love.
I can't fight your love.

My pockets were empty
From livin' out on the sidewalk.
Footsteps takin' me nowhere,

What it is you're lookin' for?
Just as I was a desperate man
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"baby, come in from the rain".
You could see down the stitches and patches
That were holdin' me together,
So with stolen faces, hand in hand,
We made footsteps together for musicland.
Used to be I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty, yeah,
From the bad life on the back streets.
But when your footsteps are takin' you nowhere
Where can you go and what can you do
When you don't know what you're lookin' for?

You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"baby, come in out of the rain".
Oh, yeah, I said you made the sun start to shine,

You know the blame is all your own.
You paid your money and you made a choice.
A world out there's waiting to be shown.
Stuck in conformity, something wrong with that.
Searching for sanity, I'm not falling in that trap.
The way you're going, you'll travel alone
'cause I'll never stay in the comfort zone.
You didn't roll the dice, you didn't take the shot,
You're all wrapped up in what you got.
You're crying about the way you feel
To the music of your spinning wheels.

I could see that I was free.
I had an ace of hearts, the dream of every man,
And I could see my destiny.
I can not justify the way I play,
But only see them as they fall.
The diamond jack
Black magical lady luck,
Who will show me the way.
When you have your freedom
Without worldly care,
Around human share.
Along the way there's evil waitin' for you,
And there's no judge and jury, but yourself.
When you're tired to the bone
Remembrance gone,
And you have cast your dice,
Take your chances as they come, one by one,
The hand of fate is as cold as ice.

And me well be up and get away

When everything goes wrong

To the horror show today my friend
And me well be up and get away

Slowly taking my world apart.
I can't begin to think of anything else
Left my reason way up on a shelf.
Stealing away without a sound,
My feet don't hardly touch the ground.
I look at the clock, the hands of fate,
The train I'm riding can't be late.
Riding on that dream train -
One look in your eyes, and I follow through.
Riding on that dream train -
Been a rider since I met you.
The brush of her skirt, the look in her eye
No use denying the curve of her thigh.
I got a feeling I'm out on limb
Past committing original sin.
Cold steel on a railroad track
Hard heart, I ain't coming back.
Put the border on red alert
Heed the warning, you're gonna get hurt.

I can't wait, though, to get started,
And her love is so bona fide.
I'm in the mood for it, I'm in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
Yeah, my serenity, her intentions -
And we were rolling on down that road.
She was tuned to, to perfection -
I was heading for that overload.
I'm in the mood for it, I'm in the mood for it,
Your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat,
Puts me back into the seat,
It's just the nature, just the nature,
That makes my engine overheat.
Twin barrels burning, just like a rocket -
She took me faster than I've ever been.
There was nothing I could do, and I didn't ask for something
Like sitting on a guillotine. you know just what I mean.
I'm in the mood for it, right in the mood for it,
Your love, your love, your love, your love.
It makes my engine overheat -
Puts me back into the seat,
It's just the nature, it's just the nature of the beast.
Just the nature, just the nature,
Makes my engine overheat.

Felt just like falling down on my knees to pray.
Looked at myself, and all that I could say
Was,"I think I see the errors of my way".
There in the glass there was something caught my eye,
Although I try through my sighing not to cry.
See where I am, and what I try to say,
Just so I'll look at the errors of my way.
Guess I got no one around to pull me through.
I just need someone to turn to, yes, I do.
Doin' my best just to change my yesterday,
Then I won't have no more errors of my way.

Everybody needs to have a friend
It's only love that I can give
And I give to you the only love I have
When I see you're so unhappy
It makes me want to try and understand
Everybody needs a helping hand
If everything should turn around
And it's me who feels so down and out
You could be the kind of company
To share a load and know how bad it feels
Everybody needs to have a friend

Casts the die of destiny
It's a perfect life she gives to you
Not to lose so innocently
Leading the way, she rises above
Unexpected adversity
I hear her calling, keeper of the light
The words of warning, thunder in the night
I hear her calling, guarding what is right
I see her waiting, keeper of the light
A silhouette on the skyline, a symbol of your liberty
Protecting time that's passing by
Mother knows, never lies
A better life the children will see
A world of change, full of hope and sympathy
I hear her calling, keeper of the light
The words of warning, thunder in the night
I hear her calling, guarding what is right
I see her waiting, keeper of the light

Dogs were sleeping,
I had to bite my tongue.
Looking down the street,
I was hanging on
Eighty floors above the ground,
Suffering vertigo.
Got me a date with a drug store blond,
With a cure I know
She picks me up when I'm coming down.
Kicks on the street
It's a shot in the arm.
Get your kicks on the street
Can't do any harm.
Can't put me on a drip feed,
Under state control.
I put a razor to my face,
And the steel is cold.
It ain't going to take me too long before I get revived.
I'm traveling incognito,
Don't want to be identified.
They dress you up,
They strip you down.
Ain't going to find me falling asleep behind the driver's wheel.
You get me intoxicated,
That's the way I feel.
I can't break the ice,
Shrinks in the heat,
Falling like an acrobat and landing on my feet.
She picks me up when I'm coming down.

Listen to my song
The jay, my lovely lady,
To the earth she did belong.
I can't trace her,
Lost her from my life,
But the manor lady's bright young son
Can take her for his wife.
Under the forest branches
She came to me,
Until the day she cried aloud
A father I should be.
That was the last time that we met,
I never saw her again,
For she took her life on princeton wharf
To save my worthy name.
She found death's open arms
And lay in them in grace
I watched as icy fingers
Clawed her lovely face.
Now I stumble through the mist
To where they laid her in the grave,
And maybe I'll remember
The flowers for my days.
Far beyond the sand
I will take your hand,
The spirit of our love will live forever.
Far beyond the clouds
We will laugh aloud,
The spirit of our love will live again.

She ain't been home for two weeks now,
And ain't that such a pity, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wishbone Ash | Rainstorm | /w/wishbone+ash/rainstorm_20147252.html | I'm amazed at the way you do,
You do the things that they want you to.
Can't you see there's a turning tide?
It's going to turn into a landslide.
The ground will fall from your feet,
You got to do before you feel the heat.
It's "heads I win, tails you lose" -
There's no escaping any way you chose.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Something's blowing up in the air.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
There's a rainstorm coming, beware.
Oh, it's a tragedy it had to come to this.
There's no way out, so don't you try to resist.
The thunder cloud hanging overhead,
It's going to break and cause a landslide.

Wishbone Ash | Renegade | /w/wishbone+ash/renegade_20147276.html | I can't tell you, mother, why I feel this way.
People passing through my life, I let them slip away.
Standing in the bright light, let the music play.
Better in the spotlight
You gotta turn my night to day.
Lead me to the water
You can't make me drink.
Dressed like a renegade, faster than you think.
Can't put down these feelings rising to the boil,
Colours of a rattlesnake, ready to uncoil.
Better by far this way.
Turn, I want you to turn,
Turn my night to day.
You yourself set me on this course when I was a child,
Walking down these men streets like a boy gone wild,
Programmed for survival.
All will be revealed.
The child is father to the man
I guess my fate is sealed.
Better by far this way.
Burn my blues,
Burn my blues away,
Like a renegade.

Wishbone Ash | Rest In Peace | /w/wishbone+ash/rest+in+peace_20147221.html | Last night i had a dream
A vision in the dark,
I found that i had been across the desert space,
Saw all the people behind a naked face.
I held out my hand,
Hoping you'd be there.
I could not understand all the reasons why
Faces from the past looking me in the eye.
Now the light has come
Breaking form the east
Someday we can find somewhere
To rest in peace.
I lost my control,
In a nightmare of being
Just a lonely soul
Without a hanging cross,
Standing all alone
Watching the lightning flash.

Wishbone Ash | Right Or Wrong | /w/wishbone+ash/right+or+wrong_20147150.html | Like to have you 'round
With all the lies that you make
The things or darkness and you
Some people say, have just a taste
Right or wrong, you might get burned
What you gain is what you learn
Got one too many women
Don't know quite which way to go
They're all gettin' so expensive
When they walk by themselves
Right or wrong, don't regret
What you went for is what you get
No point in bitter tears
When someone else has cut you down
'Cause there's a time for leavin'
And there's a time for stickin' around, hey
Right or wrong, you've got to live
So what you collect is what you give

Within Temptation | And We Run | /w/within+temptation/and+we+run_21076802.html | It burns into your heart, the darkness that you fear
You were never free, and you never realized
And love, is a word you've never heard
Your heart is cold cause it burns, the desire to leave the mind
Take your breath til nothing's left
Stars of life upon your chest
And I know you wherever you go
And we run and we don't look back
And we run til we've had enough
And we run, tell me how to run
And we run, til we break down
And we run til we fall apart
And we run til we've had enough
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head. We gotta get gone
Yeah, we outta here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
Too late, we gone
Yeah, we outta here
And we run, for this killing love
And we run, tell me how it's enough
And we run, far ahead we go
I'ma break these chains, ran through the rain
Never looked back, never quit, worked through the pain
This blood in my veins run cold when I hate
Give enough to keep sane but I never lose hope
This is my time now, no time for tears to celebrate
Put it in the air right now
Never back down, you'll never wear my crown
cause it weighs too much and I crush every motherfucking thing I touch
This is what I've never loved so much
Get involved what's the worst stand up
Here my mic before I ever get far
Man in lights, you lost all my trust
Now it's time to face all of us
Get in line just to spar with us
And it feels so far from us, just take my hand and run
And we run, for this killing love
And we run, tell me how it's enough
And we run, til we never don
And we run til we fall apart
And we run, til it's enough
Yeah, we out of here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
We gotta get gone
Yeah, we outta here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
Too late, we gone
Yeah, we outta here
And we run, for this killing love
And we run, tell me how it's enough
And we run, til we never don
And we run til we fall apart
And we run, til it's enough
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
We gotta get gone
Yeah, we outta here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
Too late, we gone
Yeah, we outta here

Within Temptation | Candles | /w/within+temptation/candles_10188442.html | Take away,
these hands of darkness.
Reaching for my soul.
Now, the cold wind
blows out my candles.
Feeling,
only fear,
without any hope.
A thousand dark moons.
A thousand winters long.
A million fallen stars,
the candle burns in the womb
We try not to forget,
they live through us.
Slowly they die away at every candle's end
A thousand dark moons,
A thousand winters long.
A million fallen stars,
the candle burns in the womb.
We try not to forget,
They live through us
Slowly they die away at every candle's end.

Within Temptation | Dark Wings | /w/within+temptation/dark+wings_10188450.html | Why was I one of the chosen ones
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
(Ah...)
As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Gave us the strength we needed
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down

Within Temptation | Deceiver Of Fools | /w/within+temptation/deceiver+of+fools_20180058.html | He feeds on fear
He feeds on hate
He rules again
With growing hate
He will gain their faith again
Light in the darkness is too small to see
There's always a sparkle of hope
If you just believe
He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
In the world of the free
He plays with your mind
As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him free
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
To a world of decay
He rules your heart
He will sell your soul to the grave
Without a hesitation to make
He belongs to the dark
Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way
In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it's small, it's bright
But darkness is lurking
He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
All fear him
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again?

Within Temptation | Destroyed | /w/within+temptation/destroyed_20190702.html | I did my best to please you
But my best was never good enough
Somehow you're only able to see
All I am not
Did you ever look behind?
Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find?
I have failed you
But you have failed me too
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life, why didn't you ever try?
I close my eyes as I walk the thin line
Between love and hate
For the person with the same blood
In his veins
You show no regrets
About all the things you did or said
I have failed you
But believe me you failed me too
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life, why didn't you ever try?
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?

Make it all beautiful?
Can I carry it, carry it, carry it now?
The truth can't bare the sunlight
You're afraid for the day it does
Hell when I told you so
I got burn, burn, burned again
Heaven forbid that my heart is forsaken
Hope in the end truth prevails
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world, run to the edge of the world
Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world, run to the edge of the world
Need to find my way home, home
He earns fire as a god
But I believed in your heart
And I'm leaving you, leaving you, leaving you now
The truth can't bare the sunlight
And don't pretend to be my guide
Heard you said you'd change it over
But I got burn, burn, burned instead
Heaven can wait cause my soul is forsaken
Hope in the end truth prevails
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world, run to the edge of the world
Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try
I'm gonna run to the edge of the world, run to the edge of the world
Need to find my way home, home
Just to fall out, no more rain
Once upon a time

Now, its chains are broken
An ancient force unleashed again
As I enter the portal I feel the enchantment
It takes me away, away from here
Come near me,
Enter my private chambers
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
Light-in darkness, lift me up from here
Give me your wings,
To flee from my ivory tower
As I enter the portal
I feel the enchantment
The stars above are lying at my feet
Come near me,
Enter my private chambers

Light in darkness, lift me up from here
Give me your wings,
To flee from my ivory tower

Within Temptation | Final Destination | /w/within+temptation/final+destination_20598930.html | I escaped my final moment
But it's turning back at me
On every corner I can feel it waiting
Just a moment, no awareness
I could easily slip away
And then I'll be gone forever
I'm searching,
I'm fighting for a way to get through
To turn it away
It's waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they're suffocating
Tell me what's the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can't take it no more!
All around me I see danger
And it's closing in on me
Every second I can hear it breathing
I can't stand the fear inside me
Cause it's leading me astray
And it will be my ending
I'm searching
I'm fighting for a way to get through
To turn it away
It's waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they're suffocating
Tell me what's the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can't take it no more!
But no one faced what's coming my way
And I will let my fear fade away
Whatever may be, I'll have to find out
It's waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they're suffocating
Tell me what's the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can't take it no more

Within Temptation | Fire and Ice | /w/within+temptation/fire+and+ice_20906039.html | Every word you're saying is a lie
Run away my dear
But every sign will say your heart is dead
Bury all the memories
Cover them with dirt
Where's the love we once had
Our destiny's unsure
Why can't you see what we had
Let the fire burn the ice
Where's the love we once had
Is it all a lie?
And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling
I'm breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I
Closer to insanity
Buries me alive
Where's the life we once had
It cannot be denied
Why can't you see what we had
Let the fire burn the ice
Where's the love we once had
Is it all a lie?
And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling
I'm breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I
You run away
You hide away
To the other side of the universe
where you're safe from all that hunts you down
But the world has gone
Where you belong
And it feels too late so you're moving on
Can you find your way back home?
And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling
I'm breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I
Every word you're saying is a lie.

Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Time has passed you by
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
And here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

Within Temptation | Forsaken | /w/within+temptation/forsaken_10188461.html | Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.
We lived our lives in our paradise,
as gods we shaped the world around.
No borderlines we'd stay behind,
though balance is something fragile.
While we thought we were gaining,
we would turn back the tide, it still slips away.
Our time has run out, our future has died,
there's no more escape.
Now the day has come,
we are forsaken,
there's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,
we are forsaken,
we're the last of our kind.
The sacrifice was much too high,
our greed just made us all go blind.
We tried to hide what we feared inside.
Today is the end of tomorrow.

I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul
I would stop running
If I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
But I'm forced to let go
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
You say that I am frozen but what can I do?
I can feel your sorrow
You won't forgive me
But I know, you'll be alright
It tears me apart that you will never know
But I have to let go
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
You say that I am frozen but what can I do?
Everything will slip away
Shattered pieces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell it's tale, if it all has been in vain
I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
Frozen
What can I do?
Frozen
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
You say that I am frozen, Frozen

Do you hear these words

I feel resentment,
they feel betrayed
They hate the cold
I don't feel redemption on their side
Fallen from grace, help me rise again
Fallen from grace, help me through

Within Temptation | Hand Of Sorrow | /w/within+temptation/hand+of+sorrow_20599914.html | The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you or kill on demand
The choice he'd made he could not comprehend
His blood a grim secret they had to command
He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister price
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
Please forgive me for the sorrow, for leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence, that's all they'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that serves you
Though you'll not see that it is me
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

And skies turned to grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of the new day
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins on our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?

I can almost see your smile

Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?
Sweet darling you worry too much
My child, see the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are
Never thought this day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not by my side
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?
So sorry your world is tumbling down
I will watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child this is not our farewell
This is not our farewell

That the tide could turn so fast to this degree
Can't believe my eyes
How can you be so blind?
Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside?
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
So in the end now what have we gained?
Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?
Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain?
Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
If we can't restrain the beast which dwells inside
It will find it's way somehow, somewhere in time
Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail it will be in vain
Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,
Can we break free from chains of never-ending agony

or two was without defenders. They have penetrated deeply and spread alarm and
confusion in their track.")

Within Temptation | Overcome | /w/within+temptation/overcome_10188469.html | Where are the heroes
In my time of need?
Is my cry not loud enough
Or have they gone all numb?
They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That they're not to blame
Falling and crawling
A fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me
In the dead of night
Over and over, I felt so small
But one day I'll be stronger
And you better watch out
I will overcome, your violence their silence
Although it can't be undone
I will overcome, knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome, it's the only way to carry on
Where are the saviors?
Afraid of the toll
Sorry, do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul
Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone
Twisting and turning
It's always the same
Truth is never honest
When you're to blame
Pushing and pulling
Never give in, one day I wish
You'll see you're not so beautiful within
I will overcome, our violence your silence
Although it can't be undone
I will overcome, knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome, it's the only way to carry on
Run and run
Run and run
I will overcome, their violence your silence
Although it can't be undone
I will overcome, knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome, it's the only way to carry on
I will overcome

though I know nothing has changed.
It's all my state of mind,
I can't leave it all behind.
I have stand up to be stronger.
[Chorus]
I have to try to break free
from the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't say goodbye,
have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
in the end it's worthwhile,
that the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be alright.
I know, should realize
time is precious, it is worthwhile
Despite how I feel inside,
have to trust it will be alright.
Have to stand up to be stronger.
[Chorus]
Oh, this night is too long.
I have no strength to go on.
No more pain, I'm floating away.
Through the mist I see the face
of an angel, who calls my name.
I remember you're the reason I have to stay.
