Call Off the Search lyrics

I won't spend my life
Waiting for an angel to descend
Searching for a rainbow with an end
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
And I won't spend my life
Gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that I've found you I'll call off the search

Out on my own
I would never have known this world
That I see today
And I've got a feeling

Every morning 'bout half past eight,
my mamma wakes me says
"don't be late",
get to the office, tryin' to concentrate,
my life is just a slow train
crawling up a hill.

So I stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without
a shadow of a doubt,
to sing the blues that I know about,
my life is just a slow train
crawling up a hill.

Minute after minute,
second after second,

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,

Some people say

That oysters make you come on strong,

But I don't buy it,

I don't believe my diet turns me on.

Won't take no pills,
That's the last thing that I need to do,

I can't deny it,

My aphrodisiac is you.

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,

And go to bed in rubber gloves.

But I don't need no stimulation,

Potions, balms or embrocation,

The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted

You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it

That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light - one after another

Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her

You're only burning - a torch you can't lose

Gonna blame it on the moon,

Didn't want to fall in love again so soon.

I was fine, feeling strong,
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone.

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt,

I'll blame it on the moon

'Cause it's not my fault;

I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon

So I'll blame it on the moon.

I was happy to be free

I've got a ticket to the fast city,

where the bells don't really ring,

getting off the plane the cold air
rushes like bullets through my brain.

And I'm divided between penguins and cats,

but its not about what animal you've got,

its about being able to fly

its about dying nine times.

Walked on broadway, going up to falls,

where the old man I used to know,

Broken windows and empty hallways

A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles

With frozen smiles to chase love away

Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely

Tin can at my feet

Think I'll kick it down the street

Hush now, Honey, here's the word

My Baby's gonna buy me a mockingbird

If that mockingbird don't sing

Baby's gonna buy me a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine

We'll still have a real good time,

So I'm making it clear

Woah, woah.

To this man that I have found

I'm gonna sing the sweetest sound

And if that sweetest sound don't rock

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong
In this world

You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright.

I was the one who looked so hard,
I could not see.
And now I could never live

Ooh, faraway voice,
We can hear you voice,
What's it like to be hears?
But from you not a word,

Are you over those hills?
Do you still hum the old melody?
Do you wish people listened?
Over here with me,

Ooh, faraway,
What I would give, give
To hear that voice,
What's it like to breathe?
My ears decive me, voice.

And I will Walk with
On a summers day,
And I will talk to you,

I lost myself on a cool damp night

Gave myself in that misty light

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree

Put my heart in its recipe

It makes me see what I want to see

and be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think

Do things I never should do

I drink much more than I ought to drink
