I could put it down to being tired, Or coming home to an empty house, A passing moment, A little man - No one around to stop me writing to you.
I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of
I could apologize, And say ′tear it up, And put it down to the pills I′ve taken′ Seeing my friends with their lives moved on Well I′ve been gently drifting
I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of I felt the same today As I was feeling yesterday It′ll be the same tomorrow From an only one change I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of
My home is home And I′m settled now I′ve made it through the restless phase I have no reason to get bored anymore My friends are around and your name comes up Asking if I ever heard from you I′m keeping it quiet about those words to you But I meant every word that I said I stand by every word that I said
I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of I felt the same today As I was feeling yesterday It′ll be the same tomorrow From an only one change I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of I felt the same today As I was feeling yesterday It′ll be the same tomorrow From an only one change I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of I never wanna say it′s love But it′s really what I′m thinking of
I found no peace In the lies that I′ve told, I′m only hurt by the blows that get withheld The sharper I get cut The harder I get held More that I believe That you will come to me
Without you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for Whao-ao Without you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for
I found no peace In the lies that I′ve told, I′m only hurt by the blows that get withheld The sharper I get cut The harder I get held More that I believe That you will come to me
Without you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for Whao-ao Without you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for
′Bout you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for
Without you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for Whao-ao Without you I′ve been burnin′ love Whao-ao You′re the one that I′ve been calling for
Let′s pretend that we′ll be here tomorrow And I′ll try for you to be a little more on time I know you need to say you know you′ve let me down But you haven′t and it′s hard to talk with people all around
Please don′t say how proud you are Lets do the things we normally do I′ll say see you later You′ll sing a line or two From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don′t hold my hand for longer than you need to
Lets forget that we′re here and make some plans We′ll go for walks Sit on the bench we always sat I′ll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you Don′t try to stay awake I′m feeling tired too
This is just another day Let′s do the things we normally do
I′ll say see you later you′ll sing a line or two From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don′t hold my hand for longer than you need to
Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons And everybody′s stood behind The man behind the wire There′s a fight to love A fight to have Your bed′s a battlefield and back And all of this will just be stripped away
Let′s do the things we normally do I′ll say see you later you′ll sing a line or two From your rebel songs sung out of tune Don′t hold my hand for longer than you need to
Don′t look me in the eye more than you need to
Don′t try to say goodbye if I don′t want to Don′t say how proud you are And say I′m far away and take along your and say a word and I can say fade away
Like a ghost don′t need a key Your best friend I′ve come to be And please don′t think of getting up for me You don′t even need to speak
When I′ve been here for just one day You′ll already miss me if I go away So close the blinds and shut the door You won′t need other friends anymore
Oh, don′t leave home Oh, don′t leave home
And if you′re cold I′ll keep you warm And if you′re low just hold on ′Cos I will be your safety Oh, don′t leave home
And I arrived when you were weak I′ll make you weaker, like a child Now are your love you give to me When your heart is all I′ll need Oh, don′t leave home Oh, don′t leave home
And if you′re cold I′ll keep you warm And if you′re low just hold on ′Cos I will be your safety Oh, don′t leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be When it′s just you and little me Everything is clear Everything is new So you won′t be leaving with me
And if you′re cold I′ll keep you warm And if you′re low just hold on ′Cos I will be your safety Oh, don′t leave home Because I will be your safety I will be your safety I will be your safety Oh, don′t leave home
I wanna go to bed With arms around me But wake up on my own Pretend That I′m still sleeping Til′ you go home
Oh I can′t look at you This morning I should probably have a sign That says ′Leave right now or quicker′ You′ve overstayed your time
If I don′t believe in love Nothing will last for me If I don′t believe in love Nothing is safe for me When I don′t believe in love You′re too close to me And that′s why You have to leave
Maybe I slept peaceful On your shoulder Your arm warm around my side But it′s different now It′s morning And I can′t face your smile
The second that I feel Your safe hands Reaching out for mine I slip away and out of sight You′ve ovestayed your time
If I don′t believe in love Nothing is good for me If I don′t believe in love Nothing will last for me When I don′t believe in love Nothing is new for me Nothing is wrong for me And nothing is real for me
When I don′t believe in love Why do you care for me? When I don′t believe in love Nothing is real for me If I don′t believe in love You′re getting to close to me And that′s why you have to leave And that′s why you have to leave
If I don′t believe in love If I don′t believe in love If I don′t believe in love Nothing is left for me If I don′t believe in love You′re too good for me
My lovers gone My lover′s gone His boots no longer by my door He left at dawn And as I slept I felt him go returns no more
I will not watch the ocean My lover′s gone No earthly ships will ever bring him home again Bring him home again
My lover′s gone I know that kiss will be my last No more his song The tune upon his lips has passed I sing alone
While I watch the ocean My lover′s gone No earthly ships will ever bring him home again Bring him home again
I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of her love Sweet desert rose This memory of Eden haunts us all This desert flower, this rare perfume
I don′t touch you the way I used to I don′t call and write when Im away We don′t make love as often as we did do What couldn′t wait Now waits and usually goes away
But listen and think when I say it Oh but listen and think when I say it Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel Who loves you and knows you the way I do Who touches you and holds you quite like I do Who makes you feel like I make you feel
I don′t mind if you come home late I don′t ever ask you where you′ve been I just assume there′s a problem will you tell me
But listen and think when I say it Oh but listen and think when I say it Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel Who loves you and knows you the way I do Who touches you and holds you quite like I do Who makes you feel like I make you feel Who makes you feel like I make you feel Who makes you feel like I make you feel
Being weak when I am strong Being seen, who you are Being sad and love′s not alone
But listen and think when I say it Oh but listen and think when I say it Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel Who loves you and knows you the way I do Who touches you and holds you quite like I do Who makes you feel like I make you feel
If I had the chance for just one day with you One day release from here and all that you go through Well I′d get you dressed and I′d get you out And I know you′d be fine as soon as we broke out
So please just for one day I wouldn′t talk for you You′d tell me what to say, you′d show me what to do And please just for one day I′d see you walk again And we′d go hand in hand so far we can′t go back
I′d do anything I could do for this one more day with you Away from all these wires and tubes they′ve stuck on you And I would buy you an early beer, we′d watch the game And we′d talk of all friends and of work and heartbreak You′d ask me who you′d need to kill to make it ok again But laughing about it′d make it small anyway
So please just for one day I wouldn′t guess for you You′d tell me what you felt and what you want to do And please just for one day I wouldn′t hide from you You wouldn′t see me try keep all of you from you
So please just for one day I wouldn′t talk for you You′d tell me what to say, you′d show me what to do And please just for one day I′d see you walk again And we′d go hand in hand so far we can′t go back
I won′t cry for you, cos I will wait until I have this day with you
Some days I wanna, and some days I don′t Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly it′s gone... Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don′t Only a change of mood sun goes down some one says something to quick or to soon A touch not made one made to late army′s of words can not hope to contain...
Then It Comes And It Goes.
And I have no control.
Some days I can think clear and some days I won′t Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly it′s gone... Some days I am strong and some days my skins broken and thin That′s when it feels and it takes what it needs and it leaves before I get to know Its only a step away moments that army′s of words can not hope to contain...
Then it comes and it goes.
And I can′t make it home.
And theres nothing at home.
And it breaks me when it goes.
Some days I wanna, and some days I don′t Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone... Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don′t Only a change of mood dream comes out some one tells something to quick or to soon A move not made one made to late army′s of words can not hope to contain...
No more trips to Grafton Street, No more going′ there, To see you lying still, While we all come and go.
No more watching sunsets, It seems like summer′s holding on. And no more standing quietly at your window.
No more driving down your road, Wondering when you′ll be home. And no more peace when they all leave And leave us two alone.
And time we always lose is finally found here with you. My love, I know we′re losing but I will stand here by you.
No more calling friends from the car saying "I don′t know when, I′ll be there but I′ll do my best to come." No more letting you warm my hands, No more trying to take it in. And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again" And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And time we always lose is finally found here with you. My love, I know you′re leaving but I will stand here by you.
No more trips to Grafton Street, No more going′ there, No more sitting up all night, Waiting for any word.
Nothing′s left that′s safe here now, Nothing will bring you home Nothing can bring us the peace We had in Grafton Street.
I have returned to the northern skies, Where the summer had not touched The clouds that pass above. Oh, and I have returned to the somber grace Of the days too early to come and too early to stay.
And I have left a million stars, And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue. And I have left the warmth of the sun And a million adventures not yet begun. The great sense of passing through, The great sense of passing through, The great sense of passing through. Oh, for once there was beauty here for me Under these white, northern skies. I felt the green was blacker And the blue was darker still. My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again. Heartache and poverty under these northern skies. The great sense of passing through, The great sense of passing through, The great sense of passing through
Only now it`s gone I can see the year See for what it was And start another day
All the liberty you took The love that you abused The friends that you turned Against me if you could
And you`re twisting what i say All that saying you scared It doesn`t matter any more Cos i`m not there
You were careless when the beat kicked in And careless when it left And carless all the way I didn`t see it till the end
(Chorus)
I feel nothing when you cry I hear nothing See no need to reply I can smile now And turn away Come over here so you can see me walk away And celebrate the end of night The end of night The end of night The end of night The end of night The end of night The end of night
Only takes one lie To bring this house down Behind closed doors No one tells the first time around
Pain is worse when Whem you bring it on yourself The sweetest bully building A love that couldn’t last
You were ugly when the beat kicked in And ugly when it left And ugly all the way Didn’t see it till the end
(Chorus)
I feel nothing when you cry I hear nothing See no need to reply I can smile now And turn away Come over here so you can see me walk away And celebrate the end of night The end of night The end of night The end of night(x15)
After the fall comes love Thate to nate and love to love After the fall comes love Thate to nate and love to love
I feel nothing when you cry I hear nothing See no need to reply I can smile now And turn away Come over here so you can see me walk away And celebrate the end of night The end of night The end of night The end of night…
We can make it rain again I′d feel like I belong Let′s make it cold again I′m not ready and it′s wrong We can put the outdoor chairs back in and lock the door Go back to walking all heads down and put our coats back on
The summer′s come too soon and I′m still missing you
We can stay at home and draw the blinds and light a fire Pull the covers high and go to sleep early for hours Don′t want to be too hot and there′s no way to cool down Don′t want to sit outside all night or even leave the house
The summer′s come too soon and I′m still missing you
I don′t want to sit and drink in parks and watch the sun go down Don′t want to put my feet in water and lie back in the grass I don′t want to watch the plains go by or hold anybody′s hand
The summer′s come too soon and I can′t come back to you The summer′s come too soon and I′m still missing you
And if the sun would go down Stop reminding us how If we ever had a chance I don′t by now
Walking home, burnt and red "Sticky thin" he said Let us go down in the woods "Can you be careful?" she said Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet
"Sticky thin, how you′ve grown?" They said "You′ll never fit in your long white dress When′s he going to try and get a job?" "I′m thankful for what we′ve got" She said Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet
Just in this life, I need no other Just this day, I need no more Just this moment, let it all stop here Let it all stop here I′ve had my fill.
"Summers here, early again Let′s take the kid and go and celebrate Drinking beer, moon on the left And there′s the sun, hold my hand" He said Us 3 little gods, with the world at our feet
Just in this life, I need no other Just this day, I need no more Just this moment, let it all stop here Let it all stop here I′ve had my fill.
Two weeks away it feels like the world should′ve changed But I′m home now And things still look the same I think I′ll leave it to tomorrow till unpack Try to forget for one more night That I′m back in my flat on the road Where the cars never stop going through the night To real life where I can′t watch sunset I don′t have time I don′t have time
[Chorus:] I′ve still got sand in my shoes And I can′t shake the thought of you I shake it all, forget you Why, why would I want to I know we said goodbye Anything else would′ve been confused but I wanna see you again
Tomorrow′s back to work down to sanitation should′ve run back ?? before I left here Try to Mama show her that I was happy here Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away From the road where the cars never stop going through the night To real life where I can′t watch sunset And take my time Take up our time
[Chorus]
I wanna see you again Two weeks away, all it takes to change in time around by falling I walked away and never said that I wanted to see again
Speeches won′t be made today, clocks will carry on Flowers won′t be left in parks, work will still be done People won′t be dressed in clack, babies will be born No flags will fly, the sun will rise, But we know that you are gone
You who love to love and believed we can never give enough
It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day Did you stop at any time have doubts at any stage Were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done I′ve lived my life without regret until today
You who love to love and believed we can never give enough
I didn′t get to say goodbye the day before the day Was trying to get to work on time, that′s why I turned away And missed the most important thing you′ve ever tried to say I′ve lived my life without regret until today
You who love to love and believed we can never give enough And you who hoped that underneath we all felt the same That was until the day before the day
My tea′s gone cold, I′m wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can′t see at all And even if I could it′d all be grey, but your picture on my wall It reminds me that it′s not so bad, it′s not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there′ll be hell today, I′m late for work again And even if I′m there, they′ll all imply that I might not last the day And then you call me and it′s not so bad, it′s not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I′m home at last and I′m soaking through and through Then you hand me a towel and all I see is you And even if my house falls down, I wouldn′t have a clue Because you′re near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
I know you think that I shouldn′t still love you I′ll tell you that But if I didn′t say it Well, I′d still have felt it Where′s the sense in that?
I promise I′m not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were
Well I will go down with this ship And I won′t put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I′m in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess And destruction to come back again And I caused but nothing but trouble I understand if you can′t talk to me again And if you live by the rules of It′s over Then I′m sure that that makes sense
Well I will go down with this ship And I won′t put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I′m in love and always will be
And when we meet As I′m sure we will All that was then Will be there still I′ll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I′ve moved on
Well I will go down with this ship And I won′t put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I′m in love and always will be
Well I will go down with this ship And I won′t put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I′m in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship And I won′t put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I′m in love and always will be
