Touch lyrics

We walk without a sound across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down to a dew entrailed ground
We watch the stars as they slowly fade away and in the clearing sky I see
The cold stone face of morning setting in on me
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world that leaves me
Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose
Your touch is cold and damp, the devil's in your eyes

Crouching down inside a deep ravine
Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen
So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans
Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands
Close call there in the shadows
There's a fear in the dark
There's one out there
All those memories, pain and anger, flood back one by one
They must be just around the bend, they always come

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
Son, he said, Grab your things, I've come to take you home.

Lilith Fair 1999 group closing song

Think of your fellow man
lend him a helping hand
put a little love in your heart

You see, it's getting late
oh please don't hesitate
put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me, you just wait and see

Another day goes by
still the children cry
put a little love in your heart

A time so haunting moonlight in the mist
Lay me down Beside you oh as long as it lasts
From the river comes a Figure drifting slowly by
Trailing long the water, leaving softer than a sigh
Softer than a sigh
All the feelings they remain like a still life
A dying swan song forever lost your cries of glory
The rain is falling down like silence in a shroud
When All that really matters left to lose

Somewhere deep inside me
I hold a picture of a time long gone
A time of ease and simple pleasures
And days in shadows not so long
Now with my mind I'm struggling
Holding on to what I believe
Listen to the fragments of my thoughts
That leave me broken and deceived
'Cause I don't know the way
He said "I can take you there,
I can show you places where our time has had no ware"

In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fires and you left my soul to bleed
And the pair that's in your death's receiving me has got me scared

CHORUS
Oh why

Through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm
Your up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never forms

My time went so quickly
I went lickety-splickly
out to my old '55
Pulled away slowly
feeling so holy
God knows, I was feeling alive.

And now the sun's coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer
Oh, Lord, that the feeling's getting stronger.

Now six in the morning
gave me no warning

On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true love's pyre
Who will bring a light to stoke the fire
Fear not for you're still breathing
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
Hear the cry for new life the morning's flame
You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain
Who will bring you back from where there's no return

You're always waiting on the tide
It's time you decide
I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all
You never wanted time to end
To let my life offend
It's time to realize what hides deep inside your holy eyes
Hold on tight, hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go
All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you

Unchained Melody-Sarah Mclachlan

Oh My Love
My darling
I hunger for your touch
Long and lonely tonight
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need our love
I need our love
Godspeed our love
Oh into me
Lonely river flow to the sea to the sea
Lonely river flow to the sea
Lonely riverside wait for me wait for me

(Instrumental)

[Chorus:]

Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Griefs silently across the darkened sea
This is it
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
The starless night across the mountain side
No one left to talk to
There's nothing left to say

[Chorus]

You and me
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
Stretched far and wide

The barren skies
Fighting a silence

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

Passion choke the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

(Instrumental)

A time so haunting moonlight in the mist
