SONG LYRICS

FROM THE ALBUM LUCID DREAMS 

 

LUCID DREAMS OF YOU

Meet me in Paris

Underneath the Eiffel Tower

I'll give you my smile

You'll give me a flower

Take my hand

Press your lips into mine

A secret assignation of a kind

What a rush

Lucid dreams of you

 

Stroll down the Champs Elysees to

Savour the time

At this moment you are completely mine

We can do anything that I please

and it pleases me

What a rush

Lucid dreams of you

 

Skinny dipping in the sea

Come lie with me

Under starry skies

Catch a shooting star

We can go anywhere I want to go

We can do anything I please

and it please me

What a rush

Lucid dreams of you

 

Don't want to wake from this perfect dream

This pleasure is not quite as it seems

Please

Please let me sleep 

Lucidly dreaming of you

What a rush

Lucid dreams of you

 

 

 

 

 

 

WITH WORDS

So near

So far

So sad

You are

 A mIllion miles away from me

Can look

Can't touch 

I want 

So much 

To hold you 

Close to my heart

You smell the spring

My flowers won't flower

The leaves turn golden

And the world turns round

With words

You're here

I feel you near

So close 

They wash over me

Show yourself

Please

Announce yourself

Mend the longings of an aching heart

So near

So far

So sad

You are

 A mIllion miles away from me

Can look

Can't touch 

I want 

So much 

To hold you

Close to my heart

My heart

OUT IN THE COLD

No no no no

Don't leave me out in the cold

Because you can't handle me

No

No no no no

Don't pretend you don't care

Because you can't be with me

No

 

Every second you wait's a moment to late

You're cold chills to the bone

If I scream and shout

You won't come out

Heart broken and alone

 

Chorus (No no no...)

 

You send me away

But I want to stay

Such sadness makes me moan

I think you'll find

I'm not out of mind

Out of sight

But not home

 

Chorus (No no no no...)

 

Home is where the heart is and I want to be home

 

Chorus (No no no no...)

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

BRIDGES BURNED

I don't know if I can go back there

I don't know if I can return

I don't know if I can go back there

Now my bridges are burned

 

Burn burn burn burn bridges  

Bridges bridges burned

Burn burn burn burn bridges

Bridges bridges burned

 

The past can cast long shadows

Shadows over me

The past can cast long shadow 

Dark and threatening

Chorus (Burn burn...)

 

Must not live my life in fear

Fear of what might be

Must not live my life in fear

Just be brave and you will see

We can build new bridges

Stronger than before

We can build new bridges

Won't burn down no more

Chorus (Burn burn..)

 

Skat

 

Feel the fire, fear the flames

Feel the fire, fear the flames

Chorus (Burn burn..)

 

I don't know if I can go back there

I don't know if I can return

I don't know if I can go back there

Now my bridges are burned

 

HELLO DAY

Dawn brings another day

Birds sing in the trees

Roses scratch against the house swaying in the breeze

Hello day 

Be good to me

Please

The night was cold and full of fear

Could not help but shed a tear

Hello day

Be good to me

 Please

Plum blossom heralds spring in your garden

Does your magnolia weep it's petals for you?

Hello day

Be good to me 

Please

Logic a good long life

Heart just give me more

Dread dread dread dread dread the day

You are no more

Hello day

Be good to me

Please

 

LITTLE BOY BLUE

Little boy blue come blow your horn

Little boy blue

Little boy blue come blow your horn

Little boy blue

 

The trumpet sounded within her soul

Trumpet sounded within her soul

Chorus (Little boy...)

 

Led away from her grave he cries

In troubled times she dies

Chorus (Little boy...)

 

Would that I could wrap my arms

Around your wounded soul

Would that I could comfort you and

Help to heal the hole in your heart

Chorus (Little boy...)

 

The trumpet sounded within her soul

Trumpet sounded within her soul

Little boy blue come blow your horn

Little boy blue

Little boy blue come blow your horn

Blow away the the pain

Blow away the the pain

 

Would that I could wrap my arms

Around your wounded soul

Would that I could comfort you and

Help to heal the hole

In your heart

Chorus (Little boy...)

 

The trumpet sounded within her soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOUCH

Our eyes meet look away look away

Can't go there with you

Feel your need, need in me too

Moves me closer to you

Touch, hold, kiss, so lonely wanting you

Steel away secluded cafe linger linger linger

Fingers touch I know you know I know 

Said enough said enough

Touch, hold, kiss, so lovely being with you

Park at twilight 

Clearing in the trees

Hidden from view

Down in the bush

Inside, outside

Bad, but so good

Touch, hold, kiss, so lovely being with you (repeat)

Park at twilight 

Clearing in the trees

Hidden from view

Down in the bush

Inside, outside

Bad but so good

Touch, hold, kiss, so lovely being with you

Pick up time gotta run gotta run

Washing on line, jobs done

Shopping shelved, menus made

Cleaning can wait, can wait

Touch fantasy, hold fantasy, kiss fantasy

So lovely fantasy you 

 

HUNGRY FOR LOVE

You don't love me like I need to be loved 

Don't love me like I need to be loved

Don't

Touch enough

Talk enough

Hold my hand and 

Walk enough

You don't love me like I need to be loved

 

Leaves me lonely vulnerable

To attention of others

Craving company 

Hungry

Hungry for love

Chorus (You don't love me...)

 

Don't say sorry

Criticise with your eyes, should listen

Where's the laughter gone

No time for making love

Chorus  (You don't love me...)

 

Fun times from photographs

Reminisce on our bliss

Chorus  (You don't love me...)

 

But it's a two way street and

I'm thinking one way thoughts

I think I don't love you

Like you need to be loved

I don't love you like you need to be loved

Don't love you like you need to be loved

Don't touch enough, talk enough, hold your hand and walk enough

I don't love you like you need to be loved

Leaves you lonely vulnerable 

To attention of others

Craving company 

Hungry

Hungry for love

So I'll try to love you like you need to be loved

Try to love you like you need to be loved

Try to touch enough

Talk enough 

Hold your hand and

Walk enough

I'll try to love you like you need to be loved

Then maybe you'll love me better 

 

EYES WIDE OPEN

You climbed inside my mind

Eyes wide open

Feel so sad inside

Sad inside, sad inside

 

Birds of grief fly over again

Will they nest in my hair?

Shoo shoo them away

Got too much to live for

Chorus (You climbed...)

 

Special little ones understand

Comforting giving love

With the warmth of a warm hand

Got too much to live for

Chorus (You climbed...)

 

A little bird told me

The early bird catches the worm and

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush while

Birds of a feather flock together

The birds and the bees the birds and the bees

Chorus (You climbed...)

 

So I'll let the birds build their nest

Breed a brood stay a while

'tll its time to take flight

Got too much to live for

Chorus (You climbed...)
