Never saw the morning till I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine till I turned out the light
Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody till I needed the song

Never saw the white line till I was leavin' you behind
Never knew I needed you till I was caught up in a bind
And I never spoke I love you till I cursed you in vain

Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
I live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two

Love lost, such a cost
Well, 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

O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt His worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder beams a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

During the time of which I speak
It was hard to turn the other cheek
To the blows of insecurity
Feeding the cancer of my intellect
The blood of love soon neglected
Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
They've all gone and left each other
In search of fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
And above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today, ah
Imagine there's no country
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Sharin' all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize (don't patronize me)
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
May your days be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away

Here we are like the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
And now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off stage lines

Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I've given everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman like me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
And she can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free

I don't know
What you're leaving behind
I'm not so sure that
I really want to find out
You don't necessarily
Have plenty of time
You can say it now
For the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

I don't know
What was wrong with my mind
I walked around like
I had a force inside and on my heart
Now I feel like

I hadn't seen the boy in fifteen years
He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tears
He left one day before his late night drives
He said everybody's gotta make a sacrifice
So he replaced the old girl for a boat named Jen
He thought if anyone could love her
Well he was the man

He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone

[Spoken:]
That puts me in a good mood
Thinking about surfing
Wow, we should go surfing
We should go surfing
Surf this groovy vibe

Ah, I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high and get pissed, I'll be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom and when I call people will come
Everyone will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Oohh ...

There are places I remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever
Not for better
Some have gone
And some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compares with you

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

Hold me, love, I can't sleep again
Or will I have to kiss your lips
Oh, I want to lay in this day, in love
I remember walking in the rain
Rain is falling on my eyes
Oh, I want to live through that again, oh

Outside only it gets darker
And I was walking in the park, now
And children singing songs
Of where we go our dreams come true
I'm in love with you

It only takes love
Love is a healing thing

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

Misery's turning my luck around
Framed all the faces on my way down
I don't have a reason, a reason to lie
The dull pain is screaming to be left behind, oh

It's never easy to see your past
Unfold before you, the outcast
I don't have a reason, a reason to cry
Caterpillars turn into rare butterflies, oh

Eve is gone again
Back to her palace
Back to her island
Eve can smile again
And run 'round the hedges
In the Garden of Eden

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it's over darling

Oh, could I be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could I forgive
And could I die in my mother's arms
Like her

Eve's a child again
Sing her a lullaby

Make me believe in you
Honestly for real, one thing true
Take me in, in your arms
Wandering alone seems so far

Let me know that you made it as far as forever, oh whoa
Let me know that you hear when I cry if you can

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little, oh

Let me know heaven sees
Shines on life our memories

[laugh]
[laugh]
[laugh]
[laugh]
[laugh]

You were searching for a soul
Tearin' yourself apart just to become whole, oh
You were walkin' down the road
Only to find your reflection in the puddles below, oh oh

Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
I see that dangerous look in your eyes
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

[laugh]

In these circles you seem to go

They must mean business
To say there's nothing worse
Then to let your precious love child
Leave the planet first

'Cause, oh whoa whoa
They've gotta just let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time lose
And all the things you never ...

So I think we're gonna have to record her

Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin' me love you
I think I can get through

Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin' to happen
On the way to nowhere

And now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Bein' a girl

Messages from where I used to grow
Twenty thousand frames of mind
This is my soul

Relentless where I'm most alone
Twenty thousand faceless names
This is your show

And, oh, I feel
I am a wandering
A fleeting transient

Soul
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

Covenant we will always grow
Our skin will fade transcend beyond
All we've been told

I could almost remember your face
When I heard your voice today
I could see your lips moving
At the other end of the receiver

It was almost a very good bye
But dialtones tend to make me cry
I call back within moments
You laugh and dont even ask why

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

You don't see me but I feel so exposed
Each time there's a pause on the phone

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

You'll never know how you run me down
And I don't even need you, no
And still you keep me holdin' on
Just for dear life

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

If you live a loveless life
Just blame it on me
On the count of oblivion
I'm guilty

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

They say we're in a state of emergency
So how come no one is panicking

Where were you when they wrote the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

Well, the paper doesn't cause too much of a fuss
Perhaps it's because it's not, it's not sad enough

Where were you when they wrote the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

You've never seen the colour blue
