'Round Midnight

it begins to tell

'round midnight, midnight

i do pretty well, till after sundown

suppertime i'm feelin' sad

but it really gets bad

'round midnight

memories always start 'round midnight

haven't got the heart to stand those memories

when my heart is still with you

and ol' midnight knows it, too

when a quarrel we had needs mending

does it mean that our love is ending

darlin' i need you, lately i find

you're out of my heart

and i'm out of my mind

let our hearts take wings

'round midnight, midnight

let the angels sing

for your returning

till our love is safe and sound

and old midnight comes around

feelin' sadreally gets bad

'round midnight

Meet Me By The Water

would you please meet me by the water, baby

we'll have a really good time

would you please meet me by the water, baby

cause i can't get you off of my mind

.

i've been thinking everyday about you

don't fit anywhere into my life, but that's okay

cause i think i might be right for you

and because of that, i'm not scared at all

and everyone says i'm crazy

and everyone says i'm a fool

would you meet me by the water tonight

cause i'm ready to break all the rules

.

please don't leave me standing

with my heart in my hand

i can't last here

i'm breaking down

and no on understands why i got here

but i knew from the very first moment

that i met you

you'd be the one

.

would you meet me by the water tonight

would you please fall asleep

holding my hand

cause i've got everything in store for you, baby

if you'll be my man

Kate Bush

The Man I Love

someday he'll come along

the man i love

and he'll be big and strong

the man i love

and when he comes my way

i'll do my best to make him stay

he'll look at me and smile

i'll understand

then in a little while

he'll take my hand

and though it seems absurd

i know we both won't say a word

maybe i shall meet him sunday

maybe monday, maybe not

still i'm sure to meet him one day

maybe tuesday will be my good news day

he'll build a little home

that's meant for two

from which i'll never roam

who would, would you

and so all else above

i'm dreaming of the man i love

Dolphins

sometimes i think

about saturday’s child

and all about the times

when we were running wild

i’ve been out searching

for the dolphins in the sea

ah, but sometimes i wonder

do you ever think of me

.

this old world will

never change the way it’s been

and all the ways of war

won’t change it back again

i’ve been out searchin’

for the dolphin in the sea

ah, but sometimes i wonder

do you ever think of me

.

this old world

will never change

Girl From The North Country

well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair

where the winds hit heavy on the borderline

remember me to one who lives there

she once was a true love of mine

well, if you go when the snowflakes storm

when the rivers freeze and summer ends

please see if she's wearing a coat so warm

to keep her from the howlin' winds

please see for me if her hair hangs long

if it rolls and flows all down her breast

please see for me if her hair hangs long

that's the way i remember her best

i'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all

many times i've often prayed

in the darkness of my night

in the brightness of my day

so if you're travelin' in the north country fair

where the winds hit heavy on the borderline

remember me to one who lives there

she once was a true love of mine

Where The Wild Roses Grow

from the first day i saw her i knew she was the one

as she stared in my eyes and smiled

for her lips were the colour of the roses

they grew down the river, all bloody and wild

when he knocked on my door and entered the room

my trembling subsided in his sure embrace

he would be my first man, and with a careful hand

he wiped the tears that ran down my face

on the second day i brought her a flower

she was more beautiful than any woman i'd seen

i said, 'do you know where the wild roses grow

so sweet and scarlet and free?'

on the second day he came with a single rose

said: 'will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'

i nodded my head, as i layed on the bed

he said, 'if i show you the roses will you follow?'

on the third day he took me to the river

he showed me the roses and we kissed

and the last thing i heard was a muttered word

as he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

on the last day i took her where the wild roses grow

and she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

as i kissed her goodbye, i said, 'all beauty must die'

and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Like A Hurricane

once i thought i saw you in a crowded hazy bar

dancing on the light from star to star

far across the moonbeam i know that's who you are

i saw your brown eyes turning once to fire

you are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eye

and i'm gettin' blown away to somewhere safer

where the feeling stays

i want to love you

but i'm getting blown away

i am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream

you could have been anyone to me

before that moment you touched my lips

that perfect feeling, when time just slips

away between us, on our foggy trip

you are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eye

and i'm gettin' blown away to somewhere safer

where the feeling stays

i want to love you

but i'm getting blown away

you are just a dreamer, and i am just a dream

you could have been anyone to me

before that moment you touched my lips

that perfect feeling, when time just slips

away between us, on our foggy trip

you are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eye

and i'm gettin' blown away to somewhere safer

where the feeling stays

i want to love you

but i'm getting blown away

Sometimes I Need Them ...

If It Be Your Will

if it be your will, that i speak no more

and my voice be still, as it was before

i will speak no more, i shall abide until

i am spoken for, if it be your will

if it be your will, that a voice be true

from this broken hill, i will sing to you

from this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring

if it be your will, to let me sing

if it be your will, if there is a choice

let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice

let your mercy spill, on all these burning hearts in hell

if it be your will, to make us well

and draw us near, and bind us tight

all your children here, in their rags of light

in our rags of light, all dressed to kill

and end this night, if it be your will

if it be your will

Over The Rainbow

somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
there's a land that i heard of, once in a lullaby

somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

and the dreams that you dare to dream

really do come true

some day i'll wish upon a star

and wake up where the clouds are far behind me

where troubles melt like lemondrops

away above the chimney tops

that's where you'll find me

somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

birds fly over the rainbow

why then, oh why can't i?

some day i'll wish upon a star

and wake up where the clouds are far behind me

where troubles melt like lemondrops

away above the chimney tops

that's where you'll find me

somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

birds fly over the rainbow

why then, oh why can't i?

if happy little bluebirds fly

beyond the rainbow

why, oh why can't i?

Svefn-G-Englar

i'm here again, inside you

i'ts so good staying here, but i stay a short while

i float around in underwater hibernation

in a hotel connected to the electricity board and nourishing

the wait makes me uneasy, i kick the fragility away

and shout i have to go, help

i explode out and the peace is gone

bathed in new light

i cry and i cry, disconnected

a ruined brain put on breasts

and fed by sleepwalkers

i slide myself forward through my head

i think half way backwards

see myself sing the anthem

that we wrote together

we had a dream, we had everything

we rode to the end of the world, we rode searching

climbed skyscrapers, that later exploded

the peace was out, i leak balance, fall down

i slide myself forward, through my head

i always come back to the same place

total silence, no answer

but the best thing god has created

is a new day

New Light Of Tomorrow

you gave me hope amidst my sorrow

may it be tomorrow, that i can love again

and in return for what i've borrowed

be with you tomorrow and until the end

i know the road we're on is narrow

along comes tomorrow, we're gonna see the sun

and with the wings of the first sparrow

new light of tomorrow

we're gonna be as one

Just Like Heaven

show me how you do that trick

the one that makes me scream, he said

the one that makes me laugh, he said

and threw his arms around my neck

show me how you do it

and i promise you, i promise that

i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge

i kissed his face and kissed his head

and dreamed of all the different ways

i had to make him glow

why are you so far away? he said

why won't you ever know

that i'm in love with you

you, soft and only

you, lost and lonely

you, strange as angels

dancing in the deepest oceans

twisting in the water

you're just like a dream

daylight licked me into shape

i must have been asleep for days

and moving lips to breathe his name

i opened up my eyes

and found myself alone alone

alone above a raging sea

that stole the only boy i loved

and drowned him deep inside of me

you, soft and only

you, lost and lonely

you, just like heaven

Rest Your Eyes

you said to write you a song

so here, this is for you

.

now as you toss through those lonely nights

just know there is someone thinking of you

everyone is waiting for the timing to be right

and we hope it's coming soon

so just rest your eyes and then

you'll be in love again

.

we talked and the moon was bright

your words were glowing as they drifted out of sight

but now the change of the seasons sets in and nothing

nothing feels just right

we fear these nights and then we compromise

yeah, but morning always comes

so just rest your eyes and then

you'll be in love again
