Go Away

corners that I glance around
I expect you coming round
my peace of mind is lost
my life shall be tempest-tossed
you got me chocolates
and red berries for the tasting
but when you're talking, your breath
you're a-wasting
please go away
please go away
mixed tapes and jewellery are nice gifts for me
but give them to your wife
and let me keep my life
I never meant for this to get
huge and out of hand
I was just being polite
I never wanted you to be my man
please go away
please go away
you were my substitute
I blame you for everything
violation like no other one
from your arms I tried to run
every time I saw you I tried to flee
I'm crying for help please someone
rescue me
please go away
please go away
please go away

The City Square
03:37
|
|||
|
there's a man on the street
yelling at every person that he sees
it gets cold and no one seems to care
'he's a crazy' and 'those guys are everywhere'
but oh, can you feel his soul?
and oh, can you free his soul?
There are some kids in the city square
doing drugs drinking booze, they don't care
lives are wasted and they're only in their teens
it's a sad tale, never part of their dreams
but oh, can you feel their souls?
and oh, can you free their souls?
there's a woman on the bus
she brings her kids on and they make a fuss
so she yells and tries to take control
we all turn our heads or stare at the floor
but oh, can you feel her soul?
and oh, can you free her soul?
but oh, can you feel their souls?
and oh, can you free their souls?
oh, can you free their souls?

Ugly Dreams
04:35
|

|
across my mind
the memory trips
stuttering on that moment when
he touched my lips
I resolved it would be over
I'd never fall into his trap
but he pushed through my boundaries and
something in me snapped so
speak softly to me
take away these ugly dreams
I tried so hard
to shut out the scene
act like nothing happened
but it all comes rushing back in these ugly dreams
these ugly dreams
these ugly dreams
these ugly dreams
these ugly dreams
speak softly to me
take away these ugly dreams
dark shadows in the night
give me solace
and give me light
give me light
give me light
give me light
give me light
and where is the rainbow
to come after this storm?
these dreams, they haunt me
they've been with me all along
all along
all along
all along
so speak softly to me
take away these ugly dreams
dark shadows in the night
give me solace and give me light
give me light
give me light
give me light
speak softly to me
take away these ugly dreams
dark shadows in the night
give me solace
and give me light

Cold

it's really cold in here
can you help me warm up?
I've been cold for years
and my heat's all used up
all used up
it's been a long day
help me push my feelings away
can I tell you my secrets?
show me no tears, no fears, no regrets
so let's drink some tea
you'll feel better, you'll see
when you're with me
we won't feel so lonely
cuz it's been a rough year
full of pain, loss and fear
hold me now
I can't breathe
it's a feeling
I just don't need
so hold me tight
it'll be alright
can I tell you why
everything leads me to cry?
cuz it's been a hard life
this world stings like a knife
I've had my share of woe
and it's hard just to let go
it's really cold in here
can you help me warm up?
I've been cold for years
and my heat's all used up
all used up

In Love
03:06
|

I wake up in thee morning, there's a smile upon my face
I see you sleeping there and I would not replace
a single hair on your scruffy chin
because that's the kind of love that I find myself in
and I am in love
yes, I am in love
with you
with you
so in love
with you
every night we go to sleep
I warm up to you and get ready to dream
arms entwined, breathing slow
then it dawns on me from head to toe
that I am in love
yes I am in love
with you
with you
so in love
with you
every day and every night I see the joy in my life
and it's all thanks to you cuz I see it through your eyes
and I am in love
yes I am in love with you

my heart is heavy
my lungs are tight
I feel unsteady
but I'm just trying to do this right
gave up my night life but I'm still awake
I tell myself that this is just what I have to take
so lift me up then shoot me down
you give me life then watch me drown
light as a feather
stuck to the ground
frozen forever
though I try, I can't make a sound
I'm alone here
all by myself
so scared, I shiver
but I put those feelings on the shelf
so lift me up then shoot me down
you give me life then watch me drown
but oh, to be the one
in the crowd and having fun
and it's so dangerous
when you can see, you can see what you can't touch
so lift me up then shoot me down
give me life then you watch me drown
and it's so dangerous
when you can see, you can see what you can't touch

Lullaby

this is my lullaby
I sing to you
please don't cry sweetie pie
I'll comfort you
the world out there will get you scared,
but I'm here for you
never fear, I'll be right here
protecting you
and all those people out there will get you down if you let them
but don't you let them, oh no
if you want to be yourself
and they will get you down
if you let them
but I just want to see you smiling all your life
this is my lullaby
I sing to you
please don't cry sweetie pie
I'll comfort you
the world out there will get you scared,
but I'm here for you
never fear, I'll be right here
protecting you
but don't you let them, oh no
if you want to be yourself
and they will get you down
if you let them
but I just want to see you smiling all your life
