Never Grow Old
I had a dream
Strange it may seems
It was my perfect day

Open my eyes
I realize
This is my perfect day

Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old

Do-do-do-do

Birds in the sky
They look so high
This is my perfect day

I feel the breeze
I feel it is
It is my perfect day

Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old
Hope you never grow old

Forever young
I hope you stay
Forever young
Do-do-do-do

Analyse
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Breathe the air, out there
We are free, we can be
Wide open

For you I open my eyes
To the beauty I see
We we will pray,
We we will stay
Wide open

Don't analyse
Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Don't lead that way
That would paralyse your evolution

Don't analyse
Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Don't lead that way
That would paralyse your evolution

Lalala this greatest moment
Lalala the strangest day
Lalala the greatest love of them all

Lalala. this greatest moment
Lalala, the strangest day
Lalala, the greatest love of them all

For you I open my eyes
To the beauty I see
We we will pray
We we will stay ...together

Lalala, this greatest moment
Lalala, the strangest day
Lalala, the greatest love of them all

Lalala, this greatest moment
Lalala, the strangest day

Time Is Ticking Out
We'd better think about the things we say
We'd better think about the games we play
The world went round, around and round

We'd better think about the consequences
We'd better think about the global senses
The time went down, the time went down

What about chernobyl
What about radiation
We don't know, we don't know
What about deprivation
Gluttony, the human nation

We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Time is ticking out

I guess that we screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
The time went down, the time went down
What about our children then
Is there nothing left for them

We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
La la la la the oxygen, la la la la the oxygen
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all

Time is ticking out yeah
Time is ticking out

Dying Inside
Terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying
It was a terribe thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying inside
To see her dying
Won't you come out
And play the games we played
Won't you speak out
And say the things you'd say

The lady loved her gold
The lady lost her soul

It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying
It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying inside
To see her dying
Do you remember the things we used to do?
Do you remember the way it was for you?

The lady loved her gold
The lady lost her soul

It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying
It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying inside
To see her die
La...

This Is the Day
I never had a friend like you
This is the day
Your skin is white, your eyes are blue
This is the day

But don't wind my change
I will still remain
I will always be there for you

A-ha

These thoughts, they circle in my mind
This is the day
The demons I can't leave behind
This is the day

Don't be insecure
I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you

They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! stay!
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! stay!
Stay!

I have provoked thy grace into my mind
This is the day
I have provoked thy grace that are divine
This is the day

Don't be insecure
I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you

They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! stay!
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! stay!
Stay!

But don't wind my change
I will still remain
I will still be here

But don't wind my change
I will still remain
I will always be there for you

They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! stay!
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! stay!
Stay!

The Concept
Come here, my lover
Something's on your mind
Listen to no other
They could be unkind

Hold on to the concept of love, always
Darling
Hold on to the concept of love, always

Take life between us
Live it like we choose
They'll never see us
I'll wait here you come

Hold on to the concept, always
Darling
Hold on to the concept, always

Night on night on night

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
I, I went to hell
I might as well
Learn by my mistakes

I at twenty-four
Was insecure
To whatever it takes

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
It's time, smell the coffee, the coffee
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Lose everything, everyday

Not a cloud in my day
Not a cloud in my way
Angel eyes, no disguise
No pretention is here
No pretention, no fear

Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling
Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling

Stay awhile, stay awhile
I will tell you my mind
I will tell you my mind

I will kill everything
Just to take off your pain
Just to take off your pain

Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling
Don't leave me calling
Don't leave me falling

I Really Hope
I don't down this row before
Now I'm coming back for more
This is like a déja-vu
I was born to be with you

Into the night we went to sleep
You and I were meant for peace
Into the night we went to play
You and i

I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way
I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way

So xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We don't have to change at all
And our life will not xxx
It's one freedom all about

Into the night we go to sleep
You and I were meant for kiss
Into the night we go to play
You and i

I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way

I really hope that you'll always be near
Take really note that I'll always be here
I really hope that we'll always be near

Every Morning
My God the years have passed me by
Where was I hiding
And then around the world for sometimes
It's a previous now

The morning sun is in my eyes
It doesn't hide the lies
It is not there
The great skies
Happy birthday baby
Happy birthday

Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine
Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine

I don't remember being you
Was it so much for me
I don't remember feeling this great
It was not for me

I paid the price
A sacrifice
It was worth than that

My time has come
I don't(? ) feel young
Begin again
Happy birthday

Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine
Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine

Do You Know
I need you awhile
My? smile
My? smile
I will be strong
I will carry on
And I'll always hold on to my smile
What would you say?
Would you say that it's sad for feeling this way?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
In my
Do you know what I think?
Do you know what I think about it?
About it
I guess you don't know anything
You don't know anything about it
About it
Do you know what I think?
Do you know what I think about it?
About it
I guess you don't know anything
You don't know anything about it
About it
Dust in my eyes
I realize
That I'm thinking
Of you
I fit my car
I will go far
Of the be lonely
For you

Would you say that it's sad for feeling this way?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
In my

Take destiny by the hand
And lead it far away
Take it to another land
We will all decay

The sun will always shine
Carry on, carry on
We'll have a glass of wine
Or cigarette

Ta, ra raa ra ra aa aa....

Don't make me guilty
Please don't chocolate brown
Chocolate brown
I can make
Lot of love
I will make it up to you
Chocolate brown

Bury the Hatchet [1999]

Animal Instinct
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal, the animal,
The animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal,
The animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
It's the animal instinct in me x2

Loud and Clear
I hope that you miss me
Put me down on history
I feel such a reject now
Get yourself a life
I hope that you're sorry
For not accepting me
For not adoring me
That's why I'm not your wife

People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged or

I remember there was
Nothing I could ever do
Never could impress you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody who cares
Fill the room with empty stares
Go to bed and say my prayers
Keep them satisfied

People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged

Loud and clear I make my point my dear

I hope that you never
Get the things you wanted to
Now I cast a spell on you
Complicate your life
Hope you get a puncture
Everywhere you ever drive
Hope the sun beats down on you and
Skin youself alive

Ra la la la la la la la
Ra la la la la la la la x4

Promises
You better belive I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'cos tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh oh

Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Oh eh, oh eh x3

Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do

You and Me
I'm not going out tonight
'cos I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight
'cos I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me
And I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness,
Your gift of purity

Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh,
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh x2

Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me forever be,
Eternally it will always be you and me

Taylor, taylor, taylor, taylor

I don't pay attention
To the ones who never cared
Find your own direction
'cos there's sweetness in the air
You will be the world to me
And I will always be
Dwelling in this happiness,
Your gift of purity

Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh,
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh x2

Aahh, you and me will always be
You and me forever be,
Eternally will always be
You and me

Always be you and me
Forever be, eternally
It will always be you and me
Forever be, eternally

Taylor, taylor x4

Just My Imagination
There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on friday night
And stay in bed until sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had and
Living not for reality

It was just my imagination x3
There was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Let it never be said that I'd be unstable

It was just my imagination x3

There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on friday night
And stay in bed until sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have
Living not for reality

It's not my imagination x3
Not my x18

Shattered
I'm trying to control myself
So please don't stand in my way
I've waited for the longest time
This is what I wanted in my way

Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way

I don't like you, don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you, and your lies
Shattered by your weaknesses
Shattered by your smile

All the kids are going back to school
The summer's over it's the golden rule
And now I'm coming out to play
So please don't stand in my way
And all the things that seemed once to be
So important to me
Seem so trivial now that I can see

Move over, move over
There's a climax coming my way x2

Please don't stand in my way

Desperate Andy
He always holds on to his girlfriend
That's where he likes to be
He like to wear the ball
And the chain on his neck
A false sense of security

And when he goes he goes with a smile
And when he goes he goes with a smile
And when he goes he goes with a smile
And when he goes he goes with a smile

Desperate andy a-a-a-a

Saving Grace
It could happen here today

Copycat
They had an accident
And they never noticed anyway
A lack of originality
Couldn't focus on the day
So much for the radio
Everybody sounds the same
Everybody wears the same clothes now
And everybody plays the game

Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy everyone else

I've got a great idea
I will change things on my own
I see my vision very clear,
Wouldn't wanna be another clone
So much for the radio, the radio is sad
Sad, sad, sad

They had an accident
But they never noticed anyway
A lack of originality
Couldn't focus on the day
So much for the radio
Everybody sounds the same
Everybody wears the same clothes now,
And everybody plays the game

Copy everyone else x4

What's on My Mind
Baby I would do anything for you
Nobody's ever treated me
Quite like you do
I've wasted too much time
I've wasted too much time
And I'm gonna tell you
What's on my mind
Yea yea

I was wrong all along
There could be somebody like thee
Here we are finally
I've found my
I've found my

Maybe it'll be quite sometime
I love you forever
And we will be waiting in time
I'm wasting no more time
I'm wasting no more time
I'm always gonna tell you
What's on my mind
Yea yea

I was wrong all along
There could be somebody like thee
Here we are finally
I've found my
I've found my

Fee Fi Fo
Fee fi fo she smells his body
She smells his body
And it makes her sick to her mind
He has got so much to answer for
To answer for, to ruin a child's mind

How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child
You're vile, sick

It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way

He was sitting in her bedroom
In her bedroom
And now what should she do
She's got so much insecurity
And his impurity it was a gathering gloom

How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child you're a vile, sick

Fee fi fo x4

Dying in the Sun
Do you remember
The things we used to say?
I feel so nervous
When I think of yesterday

How could I let things
Get to me so bad?
How did I let things get to me?

Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying x2

Will you hold on to me
I am feeling frail
Will you hold on to me
We will never fail

I wanted to be so perfect you see
I wanted to be so perfect

Hollywood
I've got a picture in my head
In my head
It's me and you we are in bed
We are in bed
You've always been there when I called
When I called
You've always been there most of all, all, all, all
(chorus)
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there?
Get away, get away,
Is there anybody there?
get away, get away, get away, away....
I've got a picture in my room
In my room
I will return there I presume
It will be soon
The greatest irony of all
Should do all
It's not so glamourous at all, all, all
(repeat chorus)

Salvation
To all the people doing lines
Don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
Oh no it's not, not what it seems
(chorus)
Salvation, Salvation, Salvation is free
Salvation, Salvation, Salvation is free
To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
No no it's not, not what it seems
(repeat chorus)

When You're Gone
Hold on to love
That is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above
Everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night
I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleepping without
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple when I'm not around you
But I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
It's hard to carry on
That is what I do
Hey baby...
Hold on to my hands
I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind
Everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night I could be helpless
I could be lonely, slipping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple
When I'm not around you
I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
It's hard to carry on
That is what I do
Hey baby...

Free to Decide
It's not worth anything more
Than it is at all
I live as I choose
Or I will not live at all
So return to where to where you came from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it bloody well
And I'm free to decide
I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidial after all
You must have nothing more
With your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with all your thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind
Cos I'm free to decide
Free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide....

Warchild
Who will save the warchild baby
Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid
Fine by me
At times of war, we're all losers
There's no victory
We shoot and kill and kill your lover
Fine by me
Warchild, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild
I spent last winter in New York and came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless
He said "I fought in Vietnam"
Beneath his shirt he wore his mark, he bore the mark of pride
A two inch deep incision, carved into his side
Warchild, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, terrirtorial greed

Forever Yellow Skies
Yellow Sky
I can see you in the yellow sky
See you again
I'll see you again
In my dreams
Morning light
I remember morning light
Outside my door
I'll see you no more
In my dreams
Forever
Forever I'll be
Forever holding you
Responsible
Black and white
It's become so black and white
It's become so wrong
So insecure
You're so insecure
That's what you are
Forever
Forever I'll be
Forever holding you
Responsible...

The Rebels
Seems like yesterday we were 16
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
We wore Doc Martens in the sun
Drinking vintage cider having fun
Drinking vintage cider having fun
It wasn't often that we fought at all
It wasn't often...
We wore Doc Martens in the sun
Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow
What I am now is what I was then
I am not more acceptable that then
I an not more acceptable than then
It wasn't often that we fought at all
It wasn't often...
Seems like yesterday we were 16
We were the rebels of the rebel scene

I Just Shot John Lennon
It was a fearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price
John Lennon died...
With a Smith and Wesson 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
The man who took his life declared:
He said, "I just shot John Lennon,
I just shot John Lennon"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night...

Electric Blue Eyes
Electric blue eyes where did you come from
Electric blue eyes who sent you
Electric blue eyes always be near me
Electric blue eyes I need you
"Domina adjuva me"
Wish you'd go
Wish you'd know I am out here
If you should go you shoudl know I am here
Always be near me guardian angel
Always be near me, there's no fear
"Domina adjuva me"

I'm Still Remembering
I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare,
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed
Or I've changed in a way
I try to remain,
I'm tyring not to go insane
I need your affection all the way...
I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology
Never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul,
I didn't sell my soul...
I need your affection all the way....
They say the cream will always
Rise to the top
They say the good people
Are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain?
Will his prescence still remain?
Remember JFK?
Ever saintly in a way
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I say, where are you now?
I need your affection all the way...

Will you Remember?
Will you remember the dress I wore?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there
I won't remember the dress I wore
I won't remember champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember?
Will you recall?

Joe
There was a time I was so lonely
Remember the time, it was a Friday
You made me feel fine, we did it my way
I sat on your knees every Friday
I still recall you...
I see you in summer...
Joe... Joe...
I sat on your chair by the fire
Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher
Precious years to remember
Childhood fears I surrender
I still recall you...
I see you in summer...
Joe... Joe...

Bosnia
I would like to state my vision
Life was so unfair
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo changed my mind
And we all call out in despair
All the love we need isn't there
And we all sing songs our rooms
Sarajevo erects an undertune
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sure thigns would change if we really wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
There are babies in their hands, terror in their heads
For life, for life
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?

Cordell
(Bonus Track in Japan)

Once you ruled my mind
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold on to your face
But everything changes in time
And the answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell...
Your lover and baby will cry
But you prescense will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me
That what many people will see
And to hell with the endless dream
Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
We all will depart and decay
And we all will return to a better place
Cordell...

The Picture I View
(Bonus Track)

I haven't changed, but my life has
people are strange when it's like as,
I did something wrong to them
and I don't even know your name...
I swear that he's good for me,
and I don't even know your name...
I swear that he's good for me,
and I swear he looks after me,
and I swear that he looks out for me...
and I swear that he's good
(chorus)
La, La, La, the picture I view
La, La, La, the picture I view
all my friends and promises
went tumbling down the hill
all my friends and promises
went tumbling down the hill
they went tumbling down the hill
I haven't changed, but mylife has
People are strange when it's like as
I did something wrong to them,
and I don't even know your name

Ode To My Family
Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see
Do you like me. Do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care
Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you. I miss
'Cause you liked it. I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh me liked me, does anyone care
Does anyone care

I Can't Be With You
Lying in my bed again
And I cry cos you're not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not cleart
Put your hands, put your hands
Inside my face and see that it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad
and it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you
Baby I can't be with you
Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother
of your child
And now it's just farewell
Put your hands in my hand
We'll find another end
And come with me
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And baby I'm still in love with you

21
I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
You took my thoughts from me
Now I want nothing more
And did you think you
Could just take it all away
I don't think it's happening
This is what I say
Leave me alone
Cause I found it all
Twenty One
So I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
Twenty One
Today
Twenty One

'Twenty One' was written on September 6th 1992

Zombie
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me,
It's not my family
In your head, in your
head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks
In your head they are dyin'
In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

"Zombie" was written on the Cranberries English tour 1993.
Man's inhumanity to man and worse still, to child.

Empty
Something has left my life
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused me strife
And it's not what I was seeking.
Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
Didn't you see me standing there
Why did you turn out the lights
Did you know that I was sleeping
Say a prayer for me
Help to feel the strength I did
My identity has been taken
Is my heart breaking on me
All my plans fell though my hands
They fell
Though my hands on me
In my obvious it suddenly seems
Empty

Everything I Said
It makes me lonely
It makes me very lonely
When I see you here, waitin' on
It makes me tired, he makes me very tired
And inside of me, lingers on
But you have a heart
Don't believe it, and you will find it
Waitin' on
Everything I said, oh, well I meant it
And inside my head, holdin' on
'Cos if I died tonight
Would you hold my hand, no
Would you understand
And if I lived in spite
Would you still be here, no
Would you disappear
Surely must be you
But I don't make you lonely
I'll get over you
But I don't make you lonely

The Icicle Melts
When
When will the icicle melt,
And when
When will the picture show end
I should not have read the paper today
Cause a child, child he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long
How could you hurt a child
Now Does this make you satisfied
I don't know what's
happening to people today
When a child, he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother that cried
And she will hold him in
her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long
There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And you will hold him in
Yours arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long

Disappointment
Disappointment you shouldn't have done
You couldn't have done
You shouldn't have done
The things you did then
And we could've been happy
What a piteous thing, a hideous thing
Was tainted by the rest
But it won't get any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
And it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did then
In the night we fight, I lied you're right
It was exactly then
I decided
And drew you out
In the night we fight, I lied you're right
It was exactly there
I decided
But it won't be any harder
And I whope you'll find you way again
And it won't get any higher
But it over boils down to what you did then
Disappointment

Written on making a clear decision, no more struggle inside

Ridiculous Thoughts
Twister does anyone see though you
You're a twister, an animal
But you're happy now
I didn't go along with you
So happy now
But you're going to have to hold on
hold on
Or we're going to have to move on
Move on
I feel alright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I feel alright
Twister. I shouldn't have twisted you
Twister
It's not going to happen no
You're not going to make fun of me
Happen no
But you're going to have to hold on
You're going to have to hold on
Hold on
Or we're going to have to move on
Move on
I feel alright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I feel alright
I should have lied
But I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I should ha' lied
But you're gonna have to hold on
Hold on
But you're gonna have to hold on to me

Dreaming my Dreams
All the things you said to me today
Changed my perspective in every way
Then things come to mean
To much to me
Into my faith you
and your baby
It's out there
If you want me
I'll be here
It's out there
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
It's out there
If you want me, I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

"Dreaming My Dreams" was written on December 25th 1993. New found happiness.
Dedicated to my husband, lover, best friend, support.
What more can be said?

Yeat's Grave
Silenced by death in the grave
WB Yeats couldn't save
Why did you stand here
Were you sickened in time
But I know by now
Why did you sit here?
In the GRAVE
W.B. Yeats "Second"
Why should I blame her
That she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men violent ways
Or hurled the little street upon the greant
Had they but courage
Equal to desire
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
But she had Mac Bride anyway
And you sit here with me
On the isle Inistee
And your writing down everything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In a grave ...
Why should I blame her
Had they but courage equal to desire

Daffodil Lament
Holding on that's what I do
Since I met you
And it won't be long, would you notice
If I left you
And it's fine for some
Cause you're not the one.
All night long, I laid on my pillow
These things are wrong
I can't sleep here
So lovely, so loving
I have decided to leave you forever
I have decide to start things from here
Thunder and lightning won't change
What I'm feeling
And the daffodils look lovely today
Oh in your eyes I can see the disguise
Oh in your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning
Has anyone looked lovely
And the daffodils looked lovely today
Looked lovely

No Need To Argue
There's no need to aruge anymore
I gave all I could
But it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had
I knew, I knew, I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
And I remember all the
Things we once shared
Watching TV movies on
The living room armchair
But they say it will work out fine
Was it all a waste of time
Cause I knew, I knew, I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Will I forget in time
You said I was on your mind
There's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There's no need to argue anymore
Special

I Still Do
I'm not ready for this
Though I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though I thought I could see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
I still do

Need some time to find myself
You wouldn't live with it
Can I go my own way
Can I pray my own way
I don't want to leave you
Oh I need you
Am I ready for this
Did I think I would be
Can I see the future
No, I can't see

I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
I still do
I still do
I still do

Dreams
Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

Then I open up and see
The person fumbling here is me
A different way to be

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
They'll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

Now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
For what I couldn't find

Talk to me amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
'cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

Sunday
Oh do you know
Where to go
Where to go

Something on your mind
Wanna leave me behind
Wanna leave me behind

You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I don't know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
You mystify me
You mystify me
You mystify me

Oh when you walk into the room
It happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
'cause you really have to go
You mystify me
You mystify me
You mystify me

And I didn't find the words to say I love you
And I couldn't find the time to say I need you
It wouldn't come out right
It wouldn't come out right
It just came out all wrong

Oh you're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I don't know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
You mystify me
You mystify me
You mystify me

Oh do you know
Where to go
Where to go

Something on your mind
Wanna leave me behind
Wanna leave me behind

Pretty
You're so pretty the way you are
You're so pretty the way you are
And you have no reason to be so slick to me

Love, love
You say you want it
But you won't change me

Love, love
You say you want it
But you won't change me

You're so pretty the way you are
You're so pretty the way you are
And you have no reason to be so slick to me

Love, love
You say you want it
But you won't change me

Love, love
You say you want it
But you won't change me

Waltzing Back
Who gave them the right
Waltzing back into your life
Ignored their fear
Wished that they never come here

What they gonna do
What they gonna say
Taking you away
From my life, my life, my life

Say, what they gonna do
What they gonna say
Taking you away
From my life, my life, my life

Who gave them the right
Turning you back into denial
Denied their fear
Wished that they never come here

What they gonna do
What they gonna say
Taking you away
From my life, my life, my life

Who gave them the right
The right
The right

Repeat 3x

Not Sorry
Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude
Said I'm not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll even forsaken me

I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish
You don't see you're rude to me

I keep on looking through the window agian
No, I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude
I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude

You told me lies
And I sighed, and I sighed, and I sighed
Cause you lied, lied
And I cried,
Yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

I realize
When you say, you say, you say
Cause you lied, lied
And I cried,
Yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude
Said I'm not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll even forsaken me

I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish
You don't see you're rude to me

I keep on looking through the window again
And I'm not sorry if I hate you, detest you
No, I'm not sorry if I hate you, detest you

You told me lies
And I sighed, and I sighed, and I sighed
Cause you lied, lied
And I cried,
Yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

When you say, you say, you say
Cause you lied, lied

Yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

I keep on looking through the window again
I keep on looking through the window again

Linger
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
And I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to. do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Wanted
Sitting in an armchair
With my head between my hands
Wouldn't have to be like this
If only you'd understand
To many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
If it doesn't work like this
Well, I'll try another way

Oh, this is the way you wanted
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, this is the way you wanted
Oh, I didn't understand

You know that all wanted
Was to be there by your side
If you didn't want it
Well, you should have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right form the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart

Oh, this is the way you wanted
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, this is the way you wanted
Oh, I didn't understand
Understand

Still Can't...
Still can't recognize the way I feel
I feel
I feel

Have to know if what you said to me was real
And you still can't find the strength to apologize
Lies
You just go on laughin' and tellin' everyone lies

'cause you wanted it all
You wanted it all
You wanted it all

No, and there's nothin' at all
There's nothin' at all
There's nothin' at all

Maybe if you could see beyond your nose
Your nose
Your nose

Who knows
Let you know what had happened surely showed
But you ___________ that your attitude
I do
I do
And you go on laughin' and shoutin' it all too soon

'cause you wanted it all
You wanted it all
You wanted it all

No, and there's nothin' at all
There's nothin' at all
There's nothin' at all

Still can't recognize the way I feel
I feel
I feel

Have to know if what you said to me was real
And you still can't find the strength to apologize
Lies
You just go on laughin' and tellin' everyone lies

'cause you wanted it all
You wanted it all
You wanted it all

No, and there's nothin' at all
There's nothin' at all
There's nothin' at all

Wanted it all
Wanted it all
You wanted it all

Repeat

I Will Always
And now it's all the same to me
Be whatever you want to be
Go wherever you need to go

And how it all seems like a mistake
Take whatever you need to take
Leave the rest for my own self

I have lies
Though beside you
You will always
Understand you

Now, it's all the same to me
So be whatever you want to be
Go wherever you need to go

And how there's nothing left behind
Takin' whatever you needed to
And leave it all into my mind

I have lies
Though beside you
You will always
Understand me

How
Look, you're standing alone
(standing alone)
However I should have known
(I should have known)

Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend
Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend

In your world, you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone

Now you're just walking away
(walking away)
When you said you always would stay
(always would stay)

Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend
Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend

In your world, you're alone in your face
Your alone in your world
Your alone in your face

How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone

Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend
In your world, you're alone in your place
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your place

How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone
How, you said you never would leave me alone, how
How, you said you never would leave me alone
Alone

Put Me Down
Let me take you by the hand
Away from here
To another land
Oh this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
'cause you're always putting me down

I can't take this anymore
I decided to leave
Walked out throught the door
Oh, and why do you think I go
Because you know it can never be so
And you always prove me wrong
'cause you're always putting me down

So let me take you by the hand
Away from here
To another land
Oh, this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
'cause you're always putting me down
