WATERCOLOURS IN THE RAIN

going through the motions.
ending up nowhere at all.
can't see the sun on my wall.
going through emotions.
ending up on a frozen morning
with a heart not even broken.
seems i've been running all my life
all my life.
seems i've been running all my life
all my life like watercolours in the rain.
find a place to settle down.
get a job in a city nearby
and watch the trains roll on by.
i'll find the falling star.
i'll fall in love with the eyes of a dreamer
and a dream worth believing.
seems i've been running all my life
all my life.
seems i've been running all my life
all my life like watercolours in the rain.
 
THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

Lay it down, pull my heart to the ground,
time's getting cold now the leaves all turn hard and blue.
And I know when I gaze to the sun, no place to hide,
I got nowhere to run from you, away from you.

Hold me now, girl, I don't know when,
when we will ever meet again.
That was then, baby, this is now,
I try to get over you.

Losing you...
Things will never be the same.
Can you hear me call your name?
If we changed it back again
things would never be...

In your hand, babe, I don't understand,
you've got the eyes of a child
but you hurt like a man always do, always do.

Touch me now, girl, I don't know when,
when we will ever meet again.
That was then, baby, this is now,
time won't get over you.
 
THE SWEET HELLO, THE SAD GOODBYE

Red like fire was the day I met you.
I tell you now, there are no regrets.
In this room there are many memories.
Some are good, some I try to forget.
I thought we were the chosen ones,
who were supposed to fly.
We're very much the same, you and I.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
When love lies in our hands,
we seem to run and hide.
And I can't help but wonder why.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

My heart was like a runaway train, babe.
I don't believe I've ever felt more alive.
In this room I hear voices linger.
We never talked about the price.
You know you're not the only one,
who knows how to cry.

We're very much the same, you and I.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
When love lies in our hands,
we run away and hide.
And I can't help but wonder why.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

We're very much the same, you and I.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
When love lies in our hands,
we run away and hide.
And I can't help but wonder why.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Goodbye.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
 
THE HEART SHAPED SEA

Babe it's time to tell me that it's over,
tell me that it's over, it's plain to see.
And this time we won't be starting over,
no crying on your shoulder into the heart shaped sea.
Oh you've been a-running from our door
and you've been enchanted by the gracious voice of love.

Babe it's time to look me in the eyes,
time to say goodbye, it's clear to me.
And this time I won't let you down,
you can turn around, I'll set you free.
Oh you've been a-sailing from our shore
and you've been enchanted by someone from afar.

Babe it's time to gather all the harvest,
to pray before the winter
and sail the heart shaped sea.
Oh you've been a-running from my love
and you've been enchanted by the powers up above.
 
SPENDING MY TIME

What's the time? Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you.
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the Lord above that you're not here to see me in this shape I'm in.

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me wake up from this dream?

Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you are missing me too.
I'm spending my time.
Spending my time, watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown",
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on,
time will make sure I get over you.
This silly game of love -
you play, you win only to lose.


Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.

Spending my time, watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown",
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.
I'm spending my time.
 
QUEEN OF RAIN

In that big big house there are fifty doors
and one of them leads to your heart.
In the time of spring I passed your gate
and tried to make a start.
All I knew was the scent of sea and dew
but I've been in love before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

In that big old house there are fifty beds
and one of them leads to your soul.
It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats,
regrets and sheets so cold.
All I knew your eyes so velvet blue,
I've been in love before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

It's time to place your bets in life,
I've played the loser's game of life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky,
fly fly away, bye bye.
 
SILVER BLUE

I got to get a message through,
I don't know where we're going.
I wrap my arms around your naked shoulders.
Take cover for the night.
I see you in the morning rain,
oh step inside and lay beside me.
Tender can you close my eyes and blind me,
oh give me just a smile...

Before I fade to silver,
Silver Blue for you.
Before I fade to silver,
Silver Blue for you.

I've turned into The Broken One
who lost the inspiration.
I want to give you all my love
like water to a blood red rose.
The Passion - I can't deal with her.
The Pain - well, I can do without him.
And this is like the milky way,
an ocean that only grows and grows.

And babe I fade to silver,
Silver Blue for you.
I turn and fade to silver,
Silver Blue for you.

I wrap my arms around your naked shoulders,
take cover for the night.
 
PERFECT DAY

breathe some faith into my chest.
lay me down, i need the rest.
ever since the sky turned grey
i've waited for the perfect day.
hey now
- it seems you've always touched me
like the sun.
there's no escape for the broken-hearted,
there's no return once you've lost your way.
i say a prayer now our love's departed
that you'll come back to stay
and bring the perfect day.
blinded by a crazy light
i fell into the darkest night.
those magic ties, the two of us,
i couldn't see it turn to dust.
hey now
- it seems you've always reached me
like the sun.
there's no escape for the broken-hearted,
there's no return once you've lost your way.
i say a prayer now your love's departed
that you'll come back to stay.
bring back the perfect day.
 
NEVER IS A LONG TIME

You build it up and tear it down,
there's no reason to follow you.
You left the song without a sound,
you left the story I made for you.
Softly angels bow and cry
in the stillness of the night.

Never is a long time - goodbye.
No answers for the asking.
It's a long time - goodbye.
No mercy for the aching.
It's a long time
oh I see no light on the forsaken.
Never is a long time - goodbye.
Let's spend the night when this dream
has come to an end.

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry,
and yes, I've cried over you.
You've left me blind in paradise.
You've left me hungering for the touch of you.
Snow white angels run and hide
in the blackness of the night.

Never is a long time - goodbye.
No answers for the asking.
It's a long time - goodbye.
No mercy for the aching.
It's a long time
oh I see no light on the forsaken.
Never is a long time - goodbye.
Let's spend the night when this dream
has come to an end.
 
IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE (CHRISTMAS FOR THE BROKEN HEARTED)

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.

Make-believing we're together,
that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water
like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard Christmas Day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now.
It's where the water flows,
it's where the wind blows.
 
I'M SORRY

The first time we met time stood still
You left me breathless
Suddenly speechless.

Within the hour we were one
Two total strangers kissing the moonlight.

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry it had to die
I'm really sorry I mad you cry
Cry.

We fell in love between the nights
Of too many lovers and too many teardrops.

And fate won't resist some satin sheets
I was so helpless
Totally ruthless.

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry you're hurt inside
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Cry, cry.

Love is lifting you up and draggin' you down
Makes you go round and round and round
Time makes a stop then it's all gone
Funny how memories keep ingering on.
 
I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT

In everything I see you appear with me,
how come? How come?
And everything I do involves you too.
We are like one.
In my life there has been so many changes
and I don't want to be left out in the rain.

I don't want to get hurt,
I've done my time.
All I want from you is to tell the truth.
I don't want to get hurt no more this time.
I don't want to go blind and find it's falling apart all the time.

In the middle of a dream you are there for me,
your face, your lips.
But there's no way you can tell
cos I hide it really well, so well.
In my life there has been loving and lying
and I don't another reason to cry.

I don't want to get hurt,
I've done my time.
All I want from you is to tell the truth.
I don't want to get hurt no more this time.
I don't want to go blind and find I'm falling apart one more time.
 
FADING LIKE A FLOWER (EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE)

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
to find a heart that's made of stone.
I will try, I just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Tell me why, when I scream there's no reply,
when I reach out there's nothing to find,
when I sleep I break down and cry.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Fading like a rose, fading like a rose,
beaten by the storm, talking to myself,
getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower.
 
CRASH! BOOM! BANG!

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!".

I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
They won't heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.

My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rules

I kick it up
I kick it down.


Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat
Slowly fallin' from the sky
And the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain
Comin' tumblin' from behind
And the wild holy war.

I kick it up
I kick it down.


Cos every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.
That's my real middle-name
It has always been the same.

Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh
Been the same, been the same
It has always been the same.
 
WHAT'S SHE LIKE?

What's she like when she turns around to kiss you goodnight?
When she wakes up in the morning by your side?
What's she like?

What's she like?
The yellow moon or the deep blue of the sea?
Do you feel the same way you did when it was me?
What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on
I've been holding on for far too long
I've been holding on
I've been holding on much too long.

What's she like when you're making love and stars are in her eyes?
When you're looking for the answers in her smile?
What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on
I've been holding on for far too long
I've been holding on
I've been holding on much too long.
To long.

I never knew I could love somebody the way that I loved you
I never thought I'd be the broken-hearted
Well, nothing hurts you like the truth.

So what's she like when she turns to you, when push comes to shove?
When she whispers in your ear that she's in love?
What's she like?

Oh I've been holding on
I've been holding on for far too long
I've been holding on
I've been holding on much too long.
So what's she like?
