Jewel - Standing Still

 

 

Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights

Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here

To the twilight

There's a dead end to my left

There's a burning bush to my right

You aren't in sight

You aren't in sight

 

Do you want me

Like I want you?

Or am I standing still

Beneath the darkened sky

Or am I standing still

With the scenery flying by

Or am I standing still

Out of the corner of my eye

Was that you

Passing my by

 

Mother's on the stoop

Boys in souped up coupes

On this hot summer night

Between fight and flight

Is the blind man's sight

And a choice that's right

I roll the window down

Feel like I'm

I'm gonna drown

In this strange town

Feel broken down

I feel broken down

Do you need me

Like I need you

 

Or am I standing still

Beneath the darkened sky

Or am I standing still

With the scenery flying by

Or am I standing still

Out of the corner of my eye

Was that you

Passing my by

 

A sweet sorrow is

The call tomorrow

A sweet sorrow is

The call tomorrow

 

Do you love me

Like I love you?

 

Or am I standing still

Beneath the darkened sky

Or am I standing still

With the scenery flying by

Or am I standing still

Out of the corner

Of my eye

Was that you

Passing me by?

 

Are you passing me by?

Passing me by

Do you want me?

Passing me by

 

Do you need me

Like I need you too

And do you want me

Like I want you?

Passing me by

 

Are you passing me by

Or am I standing still?

Every time I think of you

I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue

It's no problem of mine

But it's a problem I find

Living a life that I can't leave behind

But there's no sense in telling me

The wisdom of the fool won't set you free

But that's the way that it goes

And it's what nobody knows

well every day my confusion grows

 

Every time I see you falling

I get down on my knees and pray

I'm waiting for that final moment

You say the words that I can't say

 

I feel fine and I feel good

I'm feeling like I never should

Whenever I get this way

I just don't know what to say

Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday

I'm not sure what this could mean

I don't think you're what you seem

I do admit to myself

That if I hurt someone else

Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

 

Every time I see you falling

I get down on my knees and pray

I'm waiting for that final moment

You say the words that I can't say

Kina Grannis - In Your Arms

 

 

Hush, now let's go quiet to the park

Where it first started

Cool night, us lying in the dark

I felt my heart

Was trying to find the place for you to stay

A place where I feel safe

 

[Chorus:]

Anything we have known, anything we've forgotten

In the rain, in the dark we'll lay

In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

Anything we have known, anything we've forgotten

In the rain, in the dark we'll lay

In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

 

Take my hand

Let's go into the trees

Behind the branches

Falling on our knees

I remember feeling like this part of us will never change

 

[Chorus]

 

Follow me

We both know the way

It's always been the same

 

[Chorus]

 

In your arms I'll stay [x4]

The Sundays - Hideous Towns

 

 

 

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I joined the army, The Salvation Army

But it didn't help

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I joined the army, but it drove me barmy

And it didn't help

 

Hideous towns make me throw up

 

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I went into service with The Civil Service

But it didn't help

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I went into service, but it made me nervous

And it didn't help

 

Ooh, hideous towns made me throw up

 

And sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will just finish me off

Yeah, near enough

 

Oh oh, my hopeless youth it's so uncouth

And oh, I'd like to be in history

I said, oh in my hopeless youth just so uncouth

So there you go and now you know

But just please don't

 

Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I went to the circus, Piccadilly Circus

It was very strange

Don't ask me why, cos I don't know why

Never one to roam, I took the first bus home

And I haven't changed

 

Ooh, hideous towns made me throw up

 

And I know sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will just finish me off

Yeah, near enough

 

Yes they do

Said, oh my hopeless youth it's so uncouth

Said, oh and I'd like to be in history

Said, oh in my hopeless youth it's just so uncouth

So there you go, and now you know

But just please don't...

Please, please, please

Said oh, yeah my hopeless youth just so damn, oh oh

Yeah, my hopeless youth is really very young

Just really very young

"Still I'm Sad"

 

The Yardbirds

 

Boney M.

https://youtu.be/v9aU-9AqfKk

 

See the stars

Come falling down from the sky

Gently passing

They kiss your tears when you cry

 

See the wind come softly blow

Your hair from your face

See the rain

Hide away in disgrace

 

Still I'm sad

 

For myself

My tears just fall into dust

Day will dry them

Night will find they are lost

 

Now I find the wind is blowing

Time into my heart

Let the rain fall

For we are apart

 

How I'm sad

How I'm sad

Oh, how I'm sad

 

:'(

Cindy Lauper - I Drove All Night

 

 

I had to escape

The city was sticky and cruel

Maybe I should have called you first

But I was dying to get to you

I was dreaming while I drove

The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

 

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

 

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

 

What in this world

Keep us from tearing apart

No matter where I go I hear

The beating of your heart

I think about you

When the night is cold and dark

No one can move me

The way that you do

Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

 

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

 

Could taste your sweet kisses

Your arms open wide

This fever for you is just burning me up inside

 

I drove all night to get to you

Is that alright

I drove all night

Crept in your room

Woke you from your sleep

To make love to you

I drove all night... to hold you tight

[[Lo...]]

Mazzy Star - Halah

 

 

Well I think I see another side

Maybe just another light that shines

And I look over now through the door

And I still belong to no one else

Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons

That you left.

And close my eyes, still I see your surprise

And you're leaving before my time.

Baby won't you change your mind?

 

Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now.

It's like I told you I'm over you somehow

Before I close the door I

Need to hear you say goodbye.

Baby won't you change your mind?

 

I guess that hasn't changed someone

Maybe nobody else could understand

I guess that you believe you are a woman

And that I am someone else's man

But just before I see that you leave

I want you to hold on to things that you said

Baby I wish I was dead.

 

Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now.

It's like I told you I'm over you somehow

Before I close the door I

Need to hear you say goodbye

Baby won't you change your mind?

"Sail Away"

Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

Lock the door

Sun's a-falling

Poke the fire

Don't let the cold in

Gonna try to sail away

From the rest of my life

 

Found a boat

To make the break in

Filled with hope

About the step I'm taking

Gonna try to sail away

From the rest of my life

 

Spent a long time listening

To the captain of the sea

Shouting orders to his crew

But no one hears but me

 

Cast away

Tide's a-running

Hoist the sail

Strong wind's coming

Gonna try to sail away

From the rest of my life

 

Spent a long time listening

To the captain of the sea

Shouting orders to his crew

But no one hears but me

 

Lock the door

Sun's a-falling

Poke the fire

Don't let the cold in

Gonna try to sail away

From the rest of my life

 

Gonna try to sail away

From the rest of my life

The House of Love - Blind

 

 

God I'm blind

I'm not an eagle

I'm not saint

To burn away

Oh God I'm blind

Honest and eager

I'm am the car

On the road

 

I'm not a sea

I'm not a forest

I'm not a drug

Eating away

 

You'll never see me

- walking in a nightmare

I'm not the Son

You send away

I'm just blind

 

God I'm blind

I've got a future

I've got a child

A mouth to feed

I'm not alone

I'm not in torment

I'm am the stone

- in your hand

 

I'm not a fire

I'm not a journey

I'm not a King

To cut you away

 

I'm not the food

To throw on a fire

I'm not the Son -

You sent away

I'm just blind

I'm just blind

"Save Me" - Toni Braxton

 

All alone tonight

No stars are shining on me

Thinking I'd be alright

If somebody would just call me

 

Know that I'm not crazy

Everybody must get this way sometimes

So look around

For the people in your life that say

 

[CHORUS:]

Save me

I need somebody's help here

Thought that it would be alright but

I'm not pulling through on my own

Is anyone around who can save me

I'm falling down it's crazy

If this is the pain God gave me

I'm cool with that

But won't somebody save me

 

I guess you missed the signs

But honey, I could never blame you

I don't want you feeling guilty

That it keeps you in pain too

 

Now I can't hear you

When I'm far away, away from you

So maybe you could learn from this

And help somebody else someday

 

Cause I'm human after all

And I could not catch my fall

And nobody ever came around my way

To check up on me

To see if I was doing alright

Nobody came to save me

 

[CHORUS]

 

Save me from my demons

Save me from myself

Save me, somebody save me

I need someone's help

 

Save me

I need somebody's help here

Thought it would be alright

But I'm not pulling through on my own

Is anyone around who can save me

I'm falling down, it's crazy

If this is the pain God gave me

I'm cool with that

But won't somebody save me

 

Oh, somebody save me

Somebody save me

 

Somebody save me

Cause I need somebody

Here beside me

Cause I need a little bit of help now

 

Somebody save me

"Let Me Fly" - Sara Kempe

 

Bring me strength to embrace

The unknown face to face

Give me fire to inspire

My soul

 

When alone let me fight

To believe through this night

In the air that I breathe

Let me fly

 

Soaring higher than crannies and hills

For the journey

That's driving me homeward bound

Lift me higher than stars in the sky

Let me fly

 

Bring me hope for this day

This is where dragons play

Breathing fire to inspire

My soul

 

Soaring higher than crannies and hills

For the journey

That's driving me homeward bound

Lift me higher than stars in the sky

Let me fly

 

Lift me higher than stars in the sky

Let me fly

Let me fly

Fly

"If I Should Fall Behind"

 

 

Linda Ronstadt

Bruce Springsteen

Faith Hill

 

We said we'd walk together

Baby, come what may

There come the twilight

Should we lose our way

If as we're walking

A hand should slip free

 

I'll wait for you

And should I fall behind

Wait for me

 

We swore we'd travel

Darling, side by side

And we'd help each other

Stay in stride

But each lover's steps

Fall so differently

 

So I'll wait for you

And if I should fall behind

Wait for me

 

Everyone dreams of

A love lasting and true

Oh, but you and I know

What this world can do

So let's make our steps clear

That the other may see

 

I'll wait for you

And if I should fall behind

Wait for me

 

Now there's a beautiful river

In the valley ahead

There 'neath the oak's bough

Soon we will be wed 

Should we lose each other

In the shadow of the evening trees

 

I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind

Wait for me

 

Darling, I'll wait for you

And should I fall behind

Wait for me

 

Darling, I'll wait for you

The Only Ones - Someone Who Cares

 

 

If you try to follow me home tonight

You will find everything that you've heard is right

You'll never return to the home you knew

Leave it all behind, it's up to you

 

Who wants to be happy forever? Up to you

You know that fate brought us together

And when time has left you too weak to resist

I hope you will remember this

 

We survived the cold winter nights last year

Any time now my heart could melt with fear

I'm scared of losing the most precious thing I own

Wake up one day to find the bird has flown

 

We could have been happy forever and ever, I'm all alone

Remember that fate brought us together

 

Shattered dreams have left you scarred beyond repair

I hope you find someone who cares

Someone who cares

Someone who cares

 

And when time has left you too weak to resist

I hope you will remember this

Depeche Mode - Everything Counts

 

 

 

The handshake seals the contract

From the contract there's no turning back

The turning point of a career

In Korea being insincere

The holiday was fun-packed

The contract, still intact

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves - after all

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves - after all

It's a competitive world

 

Everything counts in large amounts

 

The graph on the wall

Tells the story of it all

Picture it now see just how

The lies and deceit gained a little more power

Confidence - taken in

By a suntan and a grin

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves - after all

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves - after all

It's a competitive world

 

Everything counts in large amounts

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

"Sparrow" - Tom Odell

 

Why, sparrow, why

Won't you tell me why I'm sad

Sing us both a melody the best that you can

 

Fly, sparrow, fly

Won't you sit on my hand

Sing it in a language we both can understand

 

When you sit on that tree

Look in my eyes

I wonder what goes on in your mind

 

Speak, sparrow, speak

Please, won't you try

Tell me why you'd walk if you knew that you could fly

 

Speak, sparrow, speak

Oh, please, won't you try

Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life

 

But you're up on that tree

And you look in my eyes

I wonder what goes on in your mind

 

Stay, sparrow, stay

Won't you stay in my window

I've never been so close to anything so beautiful

 

Wait, sparrow, wait

Oh, please don't you go

I love the way our feathers move as the wind it blows

 

But you're up on that tree

And you look in my eyes

I wonder what goes on in your mind

 

Sing, sparrow, sing

Sing away the pain

When you get to the bones of it, we are just the same

 

I said, Sing, sparrow, sing

Sing away our pain

I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today

 

Because you're up in that tree

And you look in my eyes

And I wonder how, but you're saying goodbye

"Fragile" - Delta Goodrem

 

Six thoughts at once I can't focus on one

Seven days a week and my life has just begun

So caught in emotion that I'm overcome

As I'm falling down I come undone

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong

Sometimes I feel so frail so small

Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Sometimes I feel a little fragile

A little fragile

 

In six thousand years what will this mean

Words from the heart or a melody

So caught in emotion that I'm overcome

As I'm falling down I come undone

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong

Sometimes I feel nothing at all

Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Sometimes I feel a little fragile

A little fragile

 

If people can see right through my eyes

Like an open door that I can't disguise

I won't be afraid from the tears I cry

I'll not run, I'll not hide, this is how I feel inside

A little fragile

A little fragile

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong

Sometimes I feel so frail so small

Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Sometimes I feel a little fragile

A little fragile

"Hard Times Come Again No More"

 

Mavis Staples

 

Kate & Anna McGarrigle & Friends

Rufus Wainwright, Emmylou Harris, Mary Black,

Karen Matheson, Rod Paterson

 

Annie Moses Band

 

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears

While we all sup sorrow with the poor

There's a song that will linger forever in our ears

Oh, hard times, come again no more

 

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door

Oh hard times, come again no more

 

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay

There are frail forms fainting at the door

Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say

Oh, hard times, come again no more

 

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

 

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away

With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er

Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day

Oh, hard times, come again no more

 

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

 

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary

Hard times, hard times, come again no more

Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door

Oh, hard times, come again no more

"Fantastic Dream" - Alphaville

 

Hello, today

Open your eyes

The snow is falling just like leaves

Aquarian warriors rebuild the ship

Mr. Rainbow is gone

 

Hello, my love

Here's to your heart

Unfold the lilies in the deep

The season's over, the shores are sealed

Now ashen roses rain on the fields

 

Innocent dreamers

Look what you've done

Now it's time for the phoenix to fly

 

Hello, today

Wake to the dawn

To meet the guardians of the isles

The valiant captains will rule the seas

Till the comets return

 

Hello, my love

Here's to your heart

Release that dream into the world

Join in the air race leaving tonight

How does it feel to follow the light

 

Beautiful dreamer

It's up to you

If we glide through the glamour of love

 

We believe in our dreams

Reaching out for above

We believe in our dreams

Reaching out for love

"Can't Stand the Rain" - Lady Antebellum

 

 

The storms of life

Are gonna blow through, Baby

You know we've all seen a cloud or two

But I meant it when I promised

I would have your back

Through sky black or blue

 

Do you remember

How we swore forever

Till the sweet or the bitter end

Well, this is what they mean

When they say

You got the real thing in a friend

 

[CHORUS:]

With arms open wide

I'll be your umbrella

When you just can't stand the rain

I'm there by your side

I wanna be your shelter

When you just can't stand

When you just can't stand the rain

 

I don't know where

The road you're on is gonna end up

Or what this crazy world will put you through

But don't you worry about me, Baby

You just go and do what you gotta do

I'll still be here for you

 

[CHORUS]

 

When you can't take it

Even one more day

No, I'm never too far away

Even when you feel like

You're out there on your own

No you're not alone, no

Oh, no

 

With arms open wide

I'll be your umbrella

When you just can't stand the rain

I'm there by your side

I wanna be your shelter

When you just can't stand

When you just can't stand the rain

 

Oh yeah

When you just can't stand the rain

When you just can't stand the rain
