Bare lyrics

Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat

Bitter pill to swallow
Slidin' down my throat
Bitter pill to swallow
How it makes me choke
How the hell am I gonna find
Happiness and peace of mind
When I'm losin' all the time?
Yes... bitter

Don't you ever call me
I don't wanna see your face
Don't you dare to call me
Don't darken up this place
What the hell d'ya expect from me?
Emptiness and misery
Took it all away ya see
Yes... bitter

I'm gonna put it all behind me like nothing ever happened between us.
Nothing ever took place between you and me
Yeah, nothing ever happened.
And if you see me walking down the street
I won't even recognize you
I'll just erase you from my memory
Put it all behind me becaue you are erased.
Oh, erased.

You'll be sitting on someone else's couch
You'll be eating off a stranger's plate

The beauty that you gave
Has turned upon itself
And all the things you said
Evaporated, evaporated

Was I blind, deaf and dumb
To the words slipped from your tongue?

Honestly, honestly, honestly
(Alone in my bed, the things that you said
Go round in my head, still)

Honestly, honestly, honestly
(It seems to be true that nothing I do
can influence you)

I tried and tried again

Loneliness...
It's a place that I know well.
It's the distance between us
and the space inside ourselves.
And emptiness...
Is the chattering in your head.
It's the call of the living
and the race from life to death.
And I know-
yeah, I know-
what you feel...

And I've got a longing
that's hard to find-
won't give me no peace of mind.
Something that I've lived with all along.

Oh God...
Where are you now?
And what you gonna do
About the mess I've made
If there was ever a soul to save
It must be me
It must be me

Dear god...
Oh how can I survive?
Will I make this drop this dive?
When it all comes to this
I'm looking down at the abyss
Where you don't exist
You don't exist

but if you hear me
If you can see me...
I know I can't be that strong

The city streets are wet again with rain
But I'm walkin' just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
And love don't show up in the pavement cracks
All my water colours fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat

(Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back)

Time and space will pass us by and by

To everything there is a purpose ...
To every blade of grass
And every leaf on every tree
Every livin' thing will surely
Come to pass
And what will be will be ...
That's when the hurtin' time begins

And all the things you never said
Or didn't have the strengh to say
And everything you ever did
That time won't ever wash away
Fears that you've been livin' with
Come runnin' down your face

Darling are your feeling
the same thing that I'm seeing?
The troubles of the day,
took my breath away.
Took my breath away.

Now you're no longer talking
And I'm no longing hearing
There's nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway

And I want you not
I need you not
I'm dying 'cause this is the saddest song I've got
The saddest song I've got

Darling are you healing

I didn't want to know you.
I didn't mean to be your friend.
But now it seems
I'd run through burnin' fire
Just to see your face again.

I didn't want to hurt you
Or be hurt by you
At the closing of the game.
But now it seems too late for that desire.
I watched it all go up in flames.
I watched it all go up in flames.

Tell me
Darlin'
What would it take
To untie the twist in us?

I want to have you, cause you're all I've got
I don't want to lose you, cause it means a lot
All the joy this world can bring
Doesn't give me anything
When you're not here

Idiot me
Stupid fool
How could you be
So uncool
To fall in love with someone
Who doesn't really care for you
It's so obscure

But I feel wonderful
Yes, I feel
Don't you know I feel
Wonderful

(Chorus:)

Darling are you feeling
The same thing that I'm seeing
The troubles of the day
Took my breath away
Took my breath away
Now you're no longer talking
And I'm no longer listening
There's nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway
And I want you not
And I need you not
I'm dying
Cos this is the saddest song I've got
The saddest song I've got
Darling are you healing

I was watching the woman that was walking down my street
Walking with grace, so beautifully, carefully
She's a big and pretty mother, big and pretty mother
Swinging her hand-bag back and forth so joyfully
She's drawing circles with her breasts in her jumper
Give me a big mother
Huge and loving one
I can crawl upon
And cling to

She's a large woman...
Warm and cuddly...

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like he does
Ooh he does
Yea he does
And if somebody loved me
Like he do me
Ooh he do me
Yea he does

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
No no no
Don't let me down

I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever

Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You?ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

[Chorus]
What can you see
On the horizon?

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure, that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

That's o-kay
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends

J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse
L'ile de Paques et Kairouan
Et les grands oiseaux qui s'amusent
A glisser l'aile sous le vent...
Voir les jardins de Babylone
Et le palais du Grand Lama
Rever des amants de Verone
Au sommet du Fuji Yama...

Voir le pays du matin calme
Aller pecher le cormoran
Et m'enivrer de vin de palme
En ecoutant chanter le vent...

Avant que ma jeunesse s'use

Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile oooh
Now don't you slip away
Don't you go too far
'Cause when I close my eyes
I know who you are.

You are the dark emotion
That makes me hold my breath
Just like the silent water
Upon the ocean's depth.

Don't you slip away
Don't you go too far
'Cause when I close my eyes

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
The only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day
Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum
It beats for you - It bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs...

Once I had the rarest rose
That ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon.

Oh loneliness - oh hopelessness

Love comes like a miracle...

Love comes to the rescue - whenever you need it
Love comes like a miracle so you better believe
It's true (it's true) - when I look deep inside of you
Just when I think I cannot find
Some peace of mind...
Love comes to the rescue - whenever you need it
Love comes like a miracle so you better believe
It's true (true) - when I'm lost for words to explain

Live with me, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
By hills and valleys, dales and fields,
And all the pleasant pastures yields.
There will we sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, by whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

There will I make thee a bed of roses,
With a thousand fragrant posies.

Heaven is the home of the hearts
And heaven don't tear you apart
Yea heaven is the home of the hearts
And heaven don't tear you apart
There's too many kinks wanna hold you down
And the world is a window gone underground
There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine
And a clock on the wall and it counts my time

Heaven is the home of our hearts
And heaven don't tear you apart

Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
think so little of me they allow you to go.
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
there's no love finer, but how strange the change from
major to minor...

Can ye no hush your weepin'
all the wee lambs are sleepin'
Birdies are nestlin' nestlin' together
Dream Angus is hirplin' oer the heather
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell
Angus is here wi' dreams to sell
Hush ye my baby and sleep without fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear.

List' to the curlew cryin'
Faintly the echos dyin'

Trina wears her wampam beads
She fills her drawing book with line
Sewing lace on widow's weeds
And filagree on leaf and vine
Vine and leaf are filagree
And her coat's a second-hand one
Sewn in antique luxury,
She is a lady of the canyon
Annie sits you down to eat
She always makes you welcome in
Cats and babies around her feet
And all are fat and none are thin
