"April Clouds"

"April Clouds"


Stay forever, stay a little while
I'm pleased to have seen you,
I'm pleased to have seen you smile
April clouds shaped like shells
April rain shall fall somewhere else
I need the sun, a soft caress
I wish you the best

It's been a good time,
The best there ever was for me
Oh, whoa, umm
I miss your body, I miss your company
Yeah

There was a man who looked like you
There were some nights he passed through the room
I closed my eyes, and I felt blessed
I wish you the best

Wherever you go, or whatever you'll do
I pray for peace in your heart,
May your wishes come true!

(Uhm-mmm hm)
April clouds shape like shells
April rain shall fall somewhere else
I suggest you take a rest
Oh, I wish you the best
I wish you the best.

"Beautiful Things"

"Beautiful Things"


Beautiful things
Are comin' my way
Beautiful things
I want them to stay
But after a while
My beautiful things
Don't seem beautiful at all

Terrible things
Like when you wake up
And all of your dreams
Seem to crack up
Like things you have done
Like breakin' my heart
For you it don't seem
Terrible at all

Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?

Beautiful things
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things
The sky and the sea
Since you've been gone
No beautiful things
Seem beautiful to me

Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone out there on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?

Make the grass grow in the garden
When the rain is passin' by
Does anybody want to know
What's on my mind?

"Better Off On Her Own"

"Better Off On Her Own"


My girl came home to me just the other day acting okay
I was reading alone in my favourite room the TV was on
May I be excused for not telling the truth?

'Cos she's gone she said she's better off on her own
she turned her head much better off one her own

My girl knocked on the door to the place I usually refer to as home
I died surely some tide should have dimmed my eyes small and surprised
And God closed every gate the moon fell into the lake

Boy she's gone she's better off on her own
She closed and she left much better off on her own

Sitting naked by the window sill
Watching cars upon the hill
Am I sleeping?
I was dreaming for just a moment time stood still
Hey

Better off on her own
Better off on her own

Now
She's gone (better off on her own)
She said (she's better off on her own)
She's better off on her own
She turned (better off on her own)
Her head (she's better off on her own)
Much better off on her own

She's gone (better off on her own)
She sighed (she's better off on her own)
She's better off on her own
The tears (better off on her own)
I cried (she's better off on her own)
Much better off on her own

My girl came home to me just the other day

"Big Black Cadillac"


My baby came back in a Big Black

"Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart)"

"Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart)"


You promised me it would last forever
You said there's no way it could die
Everything you ever told me
Was a bunch of lies

Hey, I'm on the back of the outside
You know that's not where I belong, no
Every truth, evrything I believed in
Has turned out wrong

It's all bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart

It's all clear when you scratch on the surface
Going deeper deeper down
All I wanted was to make you happy
But baby what's that sound?
But baby what's that sound?

It's all bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
You broke my heart

All you ever cared for was to make you stronger
No-one I have known has looked so weak, oh yeah

It's all bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
You broke my heart so many times
A lot of bla bla bla bla bla
you broke my heart

You broke my heart
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
You broke my heart so many times

"Breathe"

"Breathe"


I've got to come down
I've been awake for far too long my eyes look torn they were so strong
I wore the crown
I wrote the song now it's fading my heart was open like a window to a summer breeze

I breathed your love
I filled my lungs and veins and I breathed your love until
I felt the pain and like rain it slipped away

I tried to find out what love was really all about behind the curtain waits the sky it's rare
I feel enough to cry
I'm drying up inside

My life was open like a window to the summer breeze

I breathed your love
I filled my lungs and veins and U breathed your love until
I met the pain and like rain it slipped away
Just like a little rain

I breathed your love and nothing stayed the same
Yes I breathed your love and filled my heart in vain
Cuz like rain it slipped away
Just like rain it swept away

"Bringing Me Down To My Knees"

"Bringing Me Down To My Knees"


Been thinking about you
Without even trying, I've done it
There's something about you
I can't put my finger on it
Monday was fine and I was on a high

I'm begging you please to ease, allow your feelings to show, oh oh
You're bringing me down to my kneesw cos I love you so

If your love is strong I want to be sure about it
Oh is it all wrong to go on talking about it?

Oh you thrilled me
I should be alright but Friday I died when you killed me
You're bringing me down to my knees, oh oh
Love me forever or baby, just let it go, oh oh

Monday was fine, yea the hours went by like a summer breeze
But way down the line you might make up your mind and it's time to freeze
You're bringing me down to my knees
I've been thinking about you

"Call Of The Wild"

"Call Of The Wild"


I know her, and every notion I get from her I wear inside me.
I know her, all of the broken leaves of love she leaves behind.

Oh - don't you hide away from the rain.
Oh - can you tell me the name of this game?
I got to get thru to you.

Behind the door, another wall, a lonely cry a call of the wild.
A dancing daze, an empty face, a crystal high a call of the wild.

And there is something that sweeps the dark, a lover's dart,
the call of a broken heart.
Wrapped in the night, behind these eyes, oh hear the cry,
a call of the wild.

I know her and in my mind I dream of her, how she aches without me.
I know her and every heart is a lonely hunter when she walks by.

Oh - can you read the hurt in my eyes?
Oh - don't you leave without saying goodbye.
I got to get thru to you.

Behind the door, another wall...

"Chances"

"Chances"


Hear my call,
here and everywhere
I've been walking the streets in despair.
One more fire turns a shade of grey,
one more tear is lost in the rain.
And I say that I love you.
I say that I need you.
Baby I leave you a sign of desire.
No shadow will haunt you,
no heart will desert you,
no one will hurt you,
no space or no time.
Got to got you got to got to
take your chances on me,
like the river will lead
the water to the sea,
take on me,
take your chances on me.
Don't ever let it be.
Don't ever let it be.
There's a night
when you close your eyes
around a dream
that shines like the sun.
Everyone knows it's beautiful,
tell me why you want to dream it alone.
And I say that I love you,
I say that I need you,
baby I leave you
the lines in my palm.
No darkness will get you,
no heart will desert you,
nothing can hurt you
or do you any harm.
Got to...
