"Lost Cause" - Beck

 

Your sorry eyes

They cut through the bone

They make it hard

To leave you alone

Leave you here

Wearing your wounds

Waving your guns

At somebody new

 

Baby, you're lost

Baby, you're lost

Baby, you're a lost cause

 

There's too many people

You used to know

They see you coming

They see you go

They know your secrets

And you know theirs

This town is crazy

Nobody cares

 

Baby, you're lost

Baby, you're lost

Baby, you're a lost cause

 

I'm tired of fighting

I'm tired of fighting

Fighting for a lost cause

 

There's a place where you are going

You ain't never been before

There's no one left to watch your back now

No one standing at your door

That's what you thought love was for

 

Baby, you're lost

Baby, you're lost

Baby, you're a lost cause

 

I'm tired of fighting

I'm tired of fighting

Fighting for a lost cause

"Following The Sun" - Enigma

 

Following the sun

To find the one

Who's giving you the wings to fly

 

Following the sun

The golden one

Losing sense for space and time

 

I'm following the sun

Can you feel the waves of life

Can you hear the sigh of love

Do you believe in it

 

Following the sun

Just follow on

Till you find the door you thought

 

Following the sun

Like everyone

Just searching for a sign of hope

 

I'm following the sun

Have a look up to the sky

See the billion stars above

Cause maybe on one of them

You'll spend your further life

 

Cause maybe on one of them

You'll spend your further life

"Rain Is Falling" - Electric Light Orchestra

https://youtu.be/svqjijZHQrI

 

Early in the morning

The sun was up

And the sky was very blue

Without a warning

As I looked out

My thoughts returned to you

 

A noise in the city

Made the children run

And hide themselves away

And thunder boomed

And lightning filled the sky

 

Looking from this window

A thousand rivers running past my door

Standing on an island

Looking for someone upon the shore

I can see it very clearly

Nothing's really changed

Then lightning strikes across an empty sky

 

Ooh, the rain is falling

Ooh, the rain is falling

Ooh, the rain is falling

Will it wash away the lonely tears

 

With their brand new time transporter

They'll think maybe I fought to get away

But with all their great inventions

And all their good intentions

Here I stay

 

Down on the corner

Where the sun had shone

The people gathered around

Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground

 

Ooh, the rain is falling

Ooh, the rain is falling

I said ooh, the rain is falling

Will it wash away those lonely tears

 

Ooh, the rain is falling

I said ooh, the rain is falling

Ooh, the rain keeps on falling, falling

Will it wash away those lonely tears

"Cry Like a Rainstorm" - Linda Ronstadt

 

Life isn't easy

Love never lasts

You just carry on

And keep moving fast

 

I pulled off the highway

And rolled into town

I'm just fancy free babe

And I travel round

 

Sometimes I'm up

Sometimes down

Where can I run to

How have I sinned

When you cry like a rainstorm

And you howl like the wind

 

And my thoughts are filled with memories

They won't let me be

But if all the stars are shining bright

Well they would not let me see

 

It's so cold and the rain keeps blowing

It's tearing through the town

I'm still fancy free darling

And I've traveled round

 

Sometimes I'm up

Sometimes down

Oh where can I run to

How have I sinned

When you cry like a rainstorm

And you howl like the wind

 

Sometimes I'm up

Most times down

Oh where can I run to

Tell me how have I sinned

When you cry like a rainstorm

And you howl like the wind

 

Who can I turn to

Tell me where to begin

When you cry like a rainstorm

And you howl like the wind

When you cry like a rainstorm

And you howl like the wind

"Waiting for the Rain"

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

 

You told me you were gonna make it

You told me you were gonna win

And I believed it was true

Yes I believed

I believed in you

 

There you go

Running through the alleys

Can't you see

You're waiting for the rain

Look at you now

Wondering what you could be

 

You've had all the hard luck you can handle

Can't you see you're slipping down again

 

And I believed it was true

Yes I believed

I believed in you

 

There you go

You're running to the fire

Can't you see

You're near the danger zone

Look at you now

Hiding from the sunshine

 

You've had all the hard luck you can handle

Can't you see you're slipping down again

 

You deserve the sunshine and not the rain

You deserve the rainbow

You've had enough pain

I wanna see you win and get it all

Hey, I never wanna see you fall

 

Can't you see

Waiting for the rain

Can't you see

 

Waiting for the rain

Waiting for the rain

Waiting for the rain

"Storm" - Lifehouse

 

Well how long

Have I been in this storm

So overwhelmed

By the ocean's shapeless form

Water's getting harder to tread

With these waves crashing over my head

 

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

 

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

 

I know you didn't

Bring me out here to drown

So why am I

Ten feet under and upside down

 

Barely surviving

Has become my purpose

Cause I'm so used to

Living underneath the surface

 

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

 

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

And I know everything will be alright

 

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

 

Everything's alright

Yeah, everything's alright

"Why Walk When You Can Fly"

Mary Chapin Carpenter

 

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, Baby

In this world there's a whole lot of pain

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble

But a whole lot of ground to gain

 

Why take when you could be giving

Why watch as the world goes by

It's a hard enough life to be living

Why walk when you can fly

 

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow

In this world there's a whole lot of shame

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow

And a whole lot of ground to gain

 

When you spend your whole life wishing

Wanting and wondering why

It's a long enough life to be living

Why walk when you can fly

 

In this world there's a whole lot of cold

In this world there's a whole lot of blame

In this world you've a soul for a compass

And a heart for a pair of wings

 

There's a star on the far horizon

Rising bright in an azure sky

For the rest of the time that you're given

Why walk when you can fly

Who knew I'd have to need to go to a second choice since my chosen song is already here

 

 

" Overjoyed"

 

Matchbox 20

 

 

"Overjoyed"

 

Feeling my hands start shaking

Hearing your voice I'm overjoyed

I'm sorry but i have no choice

You're only getting better

 

Maybe you have your reasons

Maybe you're scared you'll be let down

Are you crying when there's no one around

Then maybe

 

Maybe if you hold me baby

Let me come over

I will tell you secrets nobody knows

I cannot overstate it

I will be overjoyed

 

The smile on your face like summer

The way that your hand keeps touching mine

Let me be the one that make it right

And maybe

 

Maybe let me hold you baby

Let me come over

I will tell you secrets nobody knows

I cannot overstate it

I will be overjoyed

 

And if you want, we'll share this life

Anytime you need a friend I'm gonna be by your side

When nobody understands you

Well, I do

 

So maybe let me hold you baby

Let me come over

I will tell you secrets nobody knows

I cannot overstate it

I will be overjoyed

 

Baby

Let me come over

I will tell you secrets nobody knows

I cannot overstate it

I will be overjoyed

 

Well, I will be overjoyed

Well, I will be overjoyed

"Grace" - Kate Havnevik

 

I'm on my knees

Only memories

Are left for me to hold

 

Don't know how

But I'll get by

Slowly pull myself together

 

There's no escape

So keep me safe

This feels so unreal

 

Nothing comes easily

Fill this empty space

Nothing is like it seems

Turn my grief to grace

 

I feel the cold

Loneliness unfold

Like from another world

 

Come what may

I won't fade away

But I know I might change

 

Nothing comes easily

Fill this empty space

Nothing is like it was

Turn my grief to grace

 

Nothing comes easily

Where do I begin

Nothing can bring me peace

Ive lost everything

I just want to feel your embrace

[[Re...]]

 

They heard me singing and they told me to stop,

Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock,

These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose,

But late at night the feelings swim to the surface.

'Cause on the suburbs the city lights shine,

They're calling at me, 'come and find your kind.'

 

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,

Then we can never get away from the sprawl,

Living in the sprawl,

Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,

And there's no end in sight,

I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.

 

We rode our bikes to the nearest park,

Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark,

We shield our eyes from the police lights,

We run away, but we don't know why,

And like a mirror these city lights shine,

They're screaming at us, 'we don't need your kind'

 

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,

Then we can never get away from the sprawl,

Living in the sprawl,

Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,

And there's no end in sight,

I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.

 

They heard me singing and they told me to stop,

Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock.

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,

Can we ever get away from the sprawl?

Living in the sprawl,

Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,

And there's no end in sight,

I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.

"Cry Just A Little" - Avantasia

 

A heart out of affection

A night at the masquerade

You won some and you're lonesome

As the spotlight fades

Going forth pretending

Destination is at hand

When she's crying just a little

Just for me

 

I've seen them set off

To the Promised Land

Escaping from the hurtings

They don't understand

A sense of satisfaction

On account of pristine tears

She's crying just a little more

Just like you

 

Why don't you cry

Cry a little over me

Why don't you lie

Can't you tell me that I am

Hard to deny

 

Can't you see

What I am going through

Cry just a little for me

Oh, girl, a little for me

 

Afraid to give away

What you keep inside

There's a ghost in your mirror

Every lonesome night

All those nights are getting colder

And your heart's a frozen wound

Don't you wonder who'll be there

When you awake

 

Why don't you cry

Cry a little over me

Why don't you lie

Can't you tell me that I am

Hard to deny

 

Can't you see

What I am going through

Cry just a little for me

Oh, girl, a little for me

"Water's Edge" - Cyndi Lauper

 

I went to the water's edge

Forgot I couldn't swim

I went to the water's edge

All ready to jump in

 

I saw the water shimmer

I heard the wind howl

I saw my own reflection

I just can't see it now

 

You say it's the way of the world

To somehow co-exist

That eventually life unfurls

A path to happiness

 

So I whisper your little secret

And repeat it under my breath

I'll save it for you in my heart

In case we both forget

 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I am gripped by a loneliness

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I'd be released in your tenderness

I'd be released in your tenderness

 

I went to the water's edge

And saw my life eclipse

I went to the water's edge

And then felt myself slip

 

I dreamed that I was floating

Just coast until I grew fins

I want to catch this tide back home

And feel you again

 

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I am gripped by a loneliness

Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me

I'd be released in your tenderness

I'd be released in your tenderness

"Endless Flight" - Leo Sayer

 

Keep me steady

Don't rock me all around

Lord, I don't wanna fall down

Understand me

I wish this jet was off the ground

 

Look around you

And tell me what you see

Are you afraid or is it me

I hope we make it

I hope we don't fall in the sea

 

And it's gonna be an endless flight

Until we reach the ground tonight

Yes it's gonna be an endless flight I know

Like a flying bird in the night

The wind is strong but I hope I'm right

And this will be the end of this endless flight

 

Make me happy

Just let me see the light

I hope the runaway path is near

The look the captain gave

Was it confidence or fear

Oh, was it fear

 

And it's gonna be an endless flight

Until we reach the ground tonight

Yes it's gonna be an endless flight I know

Like a flying bird in the night

The wind is strong but I hope I'm right

And this will be the end of this endless flight

 

And it's gonna be an endless flight

Until we reach the ground tonight

Yes it's gonna be an endless flight I know

Like a flying bird in the night

The wind is strong but I hope I'm right

And this is the end of this endless flight

 

And it's gonna be an endless flight

Until we reach the ground tonight

Yes it's gonna be an endless flight I know

Like a flying bird in the night

The wind is strong

I know I'm right

This is the end of this endless flight

"Pass In Time" - Beth Orton (feat. Terry Callier)

 

So much stays unknown till the time has come

Did you imagine you could ever be so strong

Then watch your fear just turn into relief

You see your doubt become your own belief

Though tears don't come to cry some grief away

The tears will help to keep your need at bay

 

So come on now

Come on now, child

You're here just a while

Come on now

Come on now, child

You're here just a while

 

A mother told me just before she died

My mother told me just before she died

"Oh darling, darling, don't you be like me

You will fall in love with the very first man you meet"

But mother, mother, some will never know

The love that you have is still holding my soul

 

So come on now

Come on now, child

You're here just a while

Come on now

Come on now, child

You're here just a while

You're here just a while

So much stays unknown till the time you are strong

Did you imagine you could ever feel so strong

And all your pain just turns into relief 

Yea all your doubt becomes your own belief

Though tears don't come to cry some grief away

The years will help to keep your need at bay

 

So come on now

Come on now, child

You're here just a while

Come on now

Come on now, child

You're here just a while

 

You're here just a while

 

You're here just a while

You might as well smile,

You might as well smile,

Cause tomorrow you just don't know

It will pass

Oh it's gonna pass

 

It will pass in time

It will pass in time

It will pass

It will pass in time

It will pass in time

It will pass

 

It's gonna pass

It's gonna pass

It's gonna pass in time

 

It will pass in time

It will pass

 

It's gonna pass

It's gonna pass

It's gonna pass

"Frozen Charlotte"

 

Natalie Merchant

 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hrIEbmETRoU

 

"Frozen Charlotte"

 

Blue like the winter snow in this full moon

Black like the silhouettes of the trees

Late blooming flowers lye frozen underneath the stars

I want you to remember me that way

 

Far away

I'll be gone

Will you wait for me here?

How long?

I don't know

But wait for me here

 

Still as the river grows in December

Silent and perfect blinding ice

Spring keeps her promises

No cold can keep her back

I want you to remember me that way

 

Far away

I'll be gone

Will you wait for me here?

How long?

I don't know

But wait for me here

Follow

Don't follow me to where I'll go

 

Far away

I'll be gone

Will you wait for me here?

How long?

I don't know

But wait for me here

Follow

Don't follow me to where I've gone

Someday you'll take my place

And I'll wait for you here

"My Skin"

 

Natalie Merchant

 

 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?autoplay=1&v=E1pOAhGUJYk

 

 

"My Skin"

 

Take a look at my body

Look at my hands

There's so much here

That I don't understand

 

Your face saving promises

Whispered like prayers

I don't need them

 

I've been treated so wrong

I've been treated so long

As if I'm becoming untouchable

 

Contempt loves the silence

It thrives in the dark

With fine winding tendrils

That strangle the heart

 

They say that promises

Sweeten the blow

But I don't need them

No, I don't need them

 

I've been treated so wrong

I've been treated so long

As if I'm becoming untouchable

 

I'm a slow dying flower

Frost killing hour

The sweet turning sour

And untouchable

 

Oh, I need

The darkness

The sweetness

The sadness

The weakness

Oh, I need this

 

I need

A lullaby

A kiss goodnight

Angel sweet

Love of my life

Oh, I need this

 

I'm a slow dying flower

Frost killing hour

The sweet turning sour

And untouchable

 

Do you remember the way

That you touched me before

All the trembling sweetness

I loved and adored?

 

Your face saving promises

Whispered like prayers

I don't need them

No, I don't need them

 

I need

The darkness

The sweetness

The sadness

The weakness

I need this

 

I need

A lullaby

A kiss goodnight

The angel sweet

Love of my life

Oh, I need this

 

Well, is it dark enough?

Can you see me?

Do you want me?

Can you reach me?

Or I'm leaving

 

You better shut your mouth

Hold your breath

Kiss me now you'll catch your death

Oh, I mean it

Oh, I need this.

"Break Your Heart"

 

Natalie Merchant

 

 

 

"Break Your Heart"

 

People downcast, in despair

See the disillusion everywhere

Hoping their bad luck will change

Gets a little harder every day

 

People struggle, people fight

For the simple pleasures in their lives

But trouble comes from everywhere

It's a little more than you can bear

 

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

And the way they've always been

 

People shallow, self-absorbed

See the push and shove for their rewards

I, me, my is on their minds

You can read about it in their eyes

 

People ruthless, people cruel

See the damage that some people do

Full of hatred, full of pride

It's enough to make you loose your mind

 

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

 

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

 

Don't spread the discontent

Don't spread the lies

Don't make the same mistakes

With your own life

You never will let love survive

 

I know that it will hurt

I know that it will break your heart

The way things are

And the way they've been

 

Don't spread the discontent

Don't spread the lies

Don't make the same mistakes

With your own life

Don't disrespect yourself

Don't loose your pride

And don't think that

Everybody's gonna choose your side

 

 

❤️

 

Hmmm that's a first...a Natalie trilogy...she deserves it

"White Room" - Cream

https://youtu.be/pkae0-TgrRU

 

In the white room with black curtains near the station

Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings

Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes

Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment

 

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

 

You said no strings could secure you at the station

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

 

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

 

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

 

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd

Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

[[...]]

"Lost For Words" - Pink Floyd

 

I was spending my time in the doldrums

I was caught in the cauldron of hate

I felt persecuted and paralyzed

I thought that everything else would just wait

 

While you are wasting your time on your enemies

Engulfed in a fever of spite

Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades

Like shadows into the night

 

To martyr yourself to caution

Is not going to help at all

Because there'll be no safety in numbers

When the right one walks out of the door

 

Can you see your days blighted by darkness

Is it true you beat your fists on the floor

Stuck in a world of isolation

While the ivy grows over the door

 

So I open my door to my enemies

And I ask could we wipe the slate clean

But they tell me to please go eff myself

You know you just can't win

"Have You Ever Seen The Rain"

 

Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

Bonnie Tyler 

https://youtu.be/sH8oSVs_spg 

 

Smokie

 

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm

I know it's been coming for some time

When it's over so they say

It'll bring a sunny day

I know, shining down like water

 

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

Coming down on a sunny day

 

Yesterday and days before

Sun is cold and rain is hot

I know, been that way for all my time

Till forever on it goes

Fill the circle fast and slow

I know, and it can't stop my wonder

 

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

Coming down on a sunny day

 

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm

I know it's been coming for some time

When it's over so they say

It'll bring a sunny day

I know, shining down like water

 

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

Coming down on a sunny day
