Intro: Dreams
02:26
|

|
Once, I had a dream, a dream about love.
But love is but a thought a fool once had about a dream.
I've got nothing but feelings in my thoughts.
Whoa now, I've got the devil's fears in my eyes.
Whoa now, it fathers shadows in my fire.
You've got me down! (Falling down this road)
Away from all my thirsts! (Downwards into this hole)
Anything for something new!
O' God! Save me someone like You.
I will come back to You.

Orpheus

Please don't go where I cannot go with you.
But please don't stay if you cannot say, "I'll be brave".
Play me a song, babe, play me a love song you wrote;
The verse that says you'll never let me go.
Yes, you escalate me, you gave me the Sun.
No, we don't have forever, we only have time.
Sing to me, sing to me au claire de la lune.
I'll follow you, I'll follow you home, Orpheus.
Don't look back at me too soon.
Just sing to me, sing to me now, all the way through.
I'll follow you, I'll follow you home, Orpheus.
But don't look back at me too soon.
Please just know that I will still love you.
& please don't cry because you have to let go.
Just play that song that tells them that we're all alright.
But don't you let the world forget all these things we had.
Yeah, you escalate me, you gave me all the suns.
No, we don't have forever. No, we don't have more time.
Sing to me, sing to me au claire de la lune.
I'll follow you, I'll follow you home, Orpheus.
Don't look back at me too soon.
Just sing to me, sing to me now, all the way through.
I'll follow you, I'll follow you home, Orpheus.
But don't look back at me too soon.

Little Bird

Hope is gone but morning comes for you.
I've been told that if you ask the right bird, you'll find truth.
But it said that I am not for you.
But it said that I am not for you.
Though you're the only one that I have ever loved.
You're the only one that ever fell through.
Oh look! I am now lost again.
Little bird, don't tell me a lie again.
I'll follow the white rabbit down to Happiness,
So, little bird, don't loose my heart again!
Oh please, little bird, don't let me down again.
Please let me in. (No!)
This time, I promise, I won't leave.
& you told me that if I get down on my knees,
I'll be well.
But I know in my heart I'm not for you.
Though you're the only one that I have ever loved.
You're the only one that ever fell through.
Oh look! I am now lost again.
Little bird, don't tell me a lie again.
I'll follow the white rabbit down to Happiness,
So, little bird, don't loose my heart again!
Oh please, little bird, don't let me down again.
You know, I'll always love you for the rest of my life. (Oh)
You know, I'll always love you for the rest of my life. (Oh)
You know, I'll always love you for the rest of my life.
(Father, shine down your light upon us!)
You know, I'll always love you for the rest of my life.
(O! dear, don't make me live this way; just to brave this pain!)
You know, I'll always love you for the rest of my life.
(O! Father, shine down your light upon us!)
You know, I'll always love you for the rest of my life.
(I love you.)

Walls

Sleep tight my nightingale, for one day, I will love you the same.
(You know, I've come a long way just to let me go).
These strong walls I have built, o' one day, will bury us all the same.
(But I have done the same too, you know).
(I have done the same too, you know).
All I've got is you, you, you, you.
(I have done the same too, you know).
All I've got is you, you, you, you.
(I have done the same too, you know).
All I've got is you, you, you, you.
(I have done the same too, you know).
I don't want to be hurt anymore.
(I did love you so long ago).
But I don't want to hurt you either.
(I did love you so long ago).
So I will wait for these walls to come undone;
(I did love you so long ago).
For the great summer to take me somehow.
(I did love you so long ago).
Take me somehow.
Take me somehow.
Take me somehow.
Sleep tight, my nightingale, for one day I will bury you all the same.
(You know that I've come a long way just to let us go.)
Set sail to the promise land, oh one day, I will carry our dreams there.
(But I have done the same mourning too, you know).
(I have done the same too, you know).
All I've got is you, you, you, you.
(I have done the same too, you know).
All I've got is you, you, you, you.
(I have done the same too, you know).
All I've got is you, you, you, you.
(I have done the same too, you know).
I don't want to be hurt anymore.
(I did love you so long ago).
But I don't want to hurt you either.
(I did love you so long ago).
So I will wait for these walls to come undone,
(I did love you so long ago).
For the great summer to take me somehow.
(I did love you so long ago).
Take me somehow.
Take me somehow.
Take me somehow.
Take me some how.
I did love you.
I did love you.

Johnny

God!
Where have You been all my life?
I found You by the river side where You left me all this while.
I found You by the tattered bed where my mother sleeps and my father died.
How did You get so did at saying things without, without sounding it out?
You can only die in my cold arms, like our daughter sleeps, if you're still alive.
Well, Johnny can only break a heart he once loved.
Well, Johnny can only break a heart he once loved.
Well, Johnny can only break a heart he once loved.
Well, Johnny can only break a heart he once loved.
(Johnny, could you just put me to bed, please?)

Put the waves to sleep tonight.
As I'm waiting for my Marcus to arrive,
Are you waiting for your Emma to decide?
God knows you try.
"You make monsters outta men", they cry.
But I know you try.
You're not a monster. You're a man. Don't cry.
God knows why we're chasing numbers!
O' God knows why we're chasing the sea!
For Marcus, I'll always love you.
For Emma, you'd always believe.
For Marcus, I'll always love you.
For Emma, you'd always believe.
I'm just a letter for your Emma to read.
I see the moon almost blue.
The moon said my Marcus will come soon.
Are you waiting for your Emma too?
Well, I know you try.
You're not a monster. You're a man. Don'tr cry.
& I know you try.
If you're a monster, you're my monster. Don't cry.
God knows why we're chasing numbers!
O' God knows why we're chasing the sea!
For Marcus, I'll always love you.
For Emma, you'd always believe.
For Marcus, I'll always love you.
For Emma, you'd always believe.
I'm just a letter for your Emma to read.
(For Marcus, I'll always love you. For Emma, you'd always believe.)
I'm just letter for you Emma to read...

I'm just letter for your Emma to read....

So many ways to tell you I love you but I couldn't even choose one, though I really do.
Oh, I! I would set on fire for you.
I would set a fire & time to waste on you.
