sail away

sail away with me honey
i put my heart in your hands
sail away with me honey now, now, now
sail away with me
what will be will be
i wanna hold you now, now, now

crazy skies all wild above me now
winter howling at my face
and everything i held so dear
disappeared without a trace
oh all the times i've tasted love
never knew quite what i had
little darling if you hear me now
never needed you so bad
spinning round inside my head

sail away with me honey
i put my heart in your hands
sail away with me honey now, now, now
sail away with me
what will be will be
i wanna hold you now, now, now.

i've been talking drunken gibberish
falling in and out of bars
trying to get some explanation here
for the way some people are
how did it ever come so far

sail away with me honey
i put my heart in your hands
sail away with me honey now, now, now
sail away with me
what will be will be
i wanna hold you now, now, now

sail away with me honey
i put my heart in your hands
sail away with me honey now, now, now
sail away with me
what will be will be
i wanna hold you now, now, now

sail away with me honey
i put my heart in your hands
you break me up if you pull me down
who-o-o-o
sail away with me
what will be will be
i wanna hold you now, now, now

mmmmm-mmm

babylon

friday night i'm going nowhere
all the lights are changing green to red
turning over tv stations
situations running through my head
looking back through time
you know it's clear that i've been blind
i've been a fool
to open up my heart
to all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

saturday i'm running wild
and all the lights are changing red to green
moving through the crowds i'm pushing
chemicals all rushing in my bloodstream
only wish that you were here
you know i'm seeing it so clear
i've been afraid
to show you how i really feel
admit to some of those bad mistakes i've made

if you want it
come and get it
crying out loud
the love that i was
giving you was
never in doubt
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now

babylon, babylon, babylon

sunday all the lights of london
shining , sky is fading red to blue
i'm kicking through the autumn leaves
and wondering where it is you might be going to
turning back for home
you know i'm feeling so alone
i can't believe
climbing on the stair
i turn around to see you smiling there
in front of me

if you want it
come and get it
crying out loud
the love that i was
giving you was
never in doubt
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now

babylon

nightblindness

a million to one outsiders
nightblindness
can't see

your bright eyes are what
the time is
twenty five past eternity

hear you listening
to the sirens
coming closer
now further away

what we gonna do
when the money runs out
i wish that there was something left to say
where we going to find the eyes to see
a brighter day

i'm sick of all the same old answers
lost chances
cold storms

propping mountains up
on matchsticks
dragging baskets
full of bones

and honey please don't stop
your talking
'cause there's a feeling
won't leave me alone

what we gonna do
when the money runs out
i wish that there was something i could say
how we going to find the eyes to see
a brighter day

what we gonna do
when the money runs out
i wish that there was something left to say
how we going to find the eyes to see
a brighter day?

a brighter day

please forgive me

please forgive me
if i act a little strange
for i know not what i do
feels like lightning running through my veins
everytime i look at you
everytime i look at you

help me out here
all my words are falling short
and there's so much i want to say
want to tell you just how good it feels
when you look at me that way
when you look at me that way

throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
moving out across the bay
like a stone i fall into your eyes
deep into that mystery
deep into some mystery


i got half a mind to scream out loud
i got half a mind to die
so i won't ever have to lose you girl
won't ever have to say goodbye
i won't ever have to lie
won't ever have to say goodbye

yeah na na na na

please forgive me
if i act alittle strange
for i know not what i do
feels like lightning running thru my veins

everytime i look at you

hospital food

just a little something for the pain
hospital food getting you down?
honey now i'm not one to complain
but this hangin' around
is wearing me out

so patch me up boys take me home
are you not hearing a word i say?
she sounds so different on the phone
i just sink like a stone
back to the day

tell me something
tell me something
i don't already know
tell me something
tell me something i don't know

don't seem to have that much
to show
for all the hard work, the sweat
and toil
you say 'well that's right,' and you
should know
you've been there before
you've basked in the glow
you've stood in the roar
you've tasted the snow

tell me something
tell me something
i don't already know
tell me something
tell me something
i don't already

seeing it all so beautiful
the way it oughta be
seeing it all so beautiful
and turning away
turning away
turning away

tell me something
tell me something
i don't already know
tell me something
tell me something
i don't already know

from here you can almost see the sea

come the weekend
and we’ll long gone baby
just like the old days
letting the world flow through me

just a parasite in the line
i'm smoking, killing the time
how long’s a piece of twine
what use is sympathy
from here you can almost see the sea

if you would hold still
could make a clean incision
we could sit back
and watch the demolition

little puppy dog in a box
somebody’s picking the locks
must want the darn from the socks
here comes the cavalry
from here you can almost see the sea

just another fool in a line

i dream of high clouds
flushed with the light of daybreak
i'm gonna dive in
to a water so cold it makes your bones ache

fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
all of the rubbish heaped
a piece of cardboard taped
up where the bedroom window pane used to be
from here you can almost
from here you can almost see the sea

just another fool in a line
just another fool in a line

i saw a film once
where all the airholes froze up
a killer whale swam
under the blue ice
'til her heart stopped

nos da cariad

one lifetime is long enough
is long enough to wait
the rain like silver in my ears
fat nothing on my plate
a bucketful of babylon
a belly full of hate
go to sleep my one true love
and may your dreams be sweet

then we’ll be running

see its face beneath the glass
it murmurs on the breeze
like a long black cadillac
it passes ‘neath the trees
what is it you’re waiting for?
sweet love is on its knees
go to sleep my one true love
and find your heart’s release

then we’ll be running
afraid of nothing
yeah we’ll be running

silence is golden
here i am
i ain’t afraid of nothing
silence is golden
here i am

the sun above the cotton grass
is sinking down like lead
the seagulls know the truth of it
and scream it overhead
hold on to st. christopher
the sky is murderous red
go to sleep my one true love
our glory lies ahead

then we’ll be running
afraid of nothing
then we’ll be running

all wired up in a dawning ray

easy way to cry

smoke curls through my hands
these one night stands
are making me crazy i know
morning i'll go
crowds in the rain all passing by

faith gone from your eyes
each word it flies
taking you further away
and come that day
there ain't no easy way to cry

and as i watch you leave i stand
inside my house of straw
and everywhere i go i find
things recollecting to my mind
how right it all could be

faith gone from your eyes
each word it flies
straight to the heart and i know
watching you go
there ain't no easy way to cry

so right now
so right now
so right now

and as i watch you leave i stand
inside my house of straw
and everywhere i go i find
things recollecting to my mind
how right it all could be
could be

so right now
so right now
so right now
so right so right
so right

be mine

from the very first moment i saw you
that's when i knew
all the dreams i held in my heart
had suddenly come true
knock me over stone cold sober
not a thing i could say or do
cause baby when i'm walking with you now
my eyes are so wide
like you reached right into my head
and turned on the light inside
turning on the light
inside my mind... yea...

come on baby it's all right
sunday, monday, day or night
written blue on white, it's plain to see

be mine, be mine!
rainy, shiny, night or day
what's the difference anyway
honey 'til your heart belongs to me

if i had some influence, girl
with the powers that be
i'd have them fire that arrow at you
like they fired it right at me
maybe when your heart and soul are burning
you might see
that every time i'm talking with you
it's always over too soon
that every day feels so incomplete
'til you walk into the room
say the word now, girl
i'll jump that moon... yea...

come on baby it's ok
rainy, shiny, night or day
there's nothing in the way now
don't you see

be mine, be mine!
winter, summer, day or night
centigrade or fahrenheit
baby 'til your heart belongs to me

be mine, be mine
thursday, friday, short or long
when you got a love so strong
how can it be wrong now? mercy me

be mine, be mine
jumpin' jesus, holy cow!
what's the difference anyhow
baby 'til your heart belongs to me

on fire, my body's on fire, my body's on fire
my body's on fire, want you by my side
be mine, be mine
