See Me Cry 04:18
I'm tired of keeping my secrets from you baby I get the feeling that you can read my mind I know you'd hear the truth even when I lie Get this feeling whenever I'm with you This craving that only you can satisfy What I want is for you to see me cry And I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why Before I met you I could never show my feelings I thought it meant I had fallen far behind Now I feel like crying all the time Don't think I need you to get to know me better I don't want you to try and sympathize All I want is for you to see me cry And I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why I hope you don't need me to explain this Cause it may be something I cannot define Well I've never been that good at explanations But it's just something I fantasize sometimes That you hold me and try to dry my eyes I hope I don't scare you away by being honest But that's the way I try to live my life Truth is something I can't sacrifice There is only one way I can show you How this little thing can ease my mind All you need to do is see me cry And I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why Oh I don’t know why I don’t know why

Love love love I am watching You see more when it's raining While the sun is still shining there's no time for complaining Love love love I am listening Catch your breath when you're spinning Can't say I never told you that everything’s confusing sometimes Understand where your hate is Hold your love in your heart Feel the sun on your shoulders Your head is in your hands And don't believe if they tell you that the world will be ending There'll be sun tomorrow Your courage is exploding All this motion It's your thing Let it spin Don't let it swallow you You always wanted to be the one to keep moving through the rain And I'll look after you I don't want you to cry anymore Break it down turn it over it's nothing but the sound of the rain La la La la La la La la la Well this girl she's a woman Likes to cry when it's raining Holds the night on her shoulders She knows the day is coming And she speaks to the future Wipes the pain from her hands She keeps on moving Though nothing maybe changing All this motion It's your thing Let it spin Don't let it swallow you You always wanted to be the one to keep moving through the rain And I'll look after you I don't want you to cry anymore Break it down turn it over it's nothing but the sound of the rain Just keep on moving when it's raining Stop complaining All this motion it's your thing Let it spin Don't let it swallow you You always wanted to be the one to keep moving through the rain And I'll look after you I want to show you that all this motion It's your thing Let it spin Don't let it swallow you You always wanted to be the one to keep moving through the rain And I'll look after you There's so much more in the rain this time It's your thing now girl just go And move with the rain this time It's your thing now girl just go

Julia 03:56
Tonight she keeps me awake spilling traveling tales She wants me to speak Open my empty world Well nothing’s changed, Julia You're still the wild one And tell me where’d the time go Julia When we had time to have our fun Julia, tell me where the fever goes this time Oh Julia, there must be a reason why I stayed behind Smiling she inquires How my family's been At my silence she knows It's just the same old thing Where is the fire, Julia That you saw in my soul When I said I follow close behind You never showed me to the road Standing in the road again I wave goodbye So long my friend Can't let another journey catch you moving slow When I'm alone tonight If all the things you said were right I'll question if this life is all I'll ever know Julia, tell me where the fever goes this time Oh Julia, there must be a reason why I stayed behind Oh Julia, tell me where the fever goes this time Oh Julia, tell me where the fever goes Julia, there must be a reason why I stayed behind

This morning I'm feeling The signs that say I should be leaving It's something I need to let you know Though lately It's been hard to speak my mind I keep waiting for the right time Be honest You know this The truth is that you're always lying You tell me It's only Just a presentation of the world seen through your eyes That they really aren't lies Well that's a story I'm not gonna buy You tell me that you want me to stay But baby I'm on my way Been feeling Like leaving Not happy with the love we're making You tell me I need to give it time to grow But I know that's just your line Cause you fed it to me last time I'm seeing Daylight coming I have decided I'll be leaving I'm watching You sleeping And I'm wondering Should I wake you up to say goodbye But I just don't have the time I don't have the time You tell me that you want me to stay But baby, I'm on my way Good morning I'm leaving I'm calling from the railroad station Train’s coming Doors open I'm boarding doors closing It's rolling it's rolling it's rolling it's rolling I'm gone

Jonathan 03:46
Jonathan craves me He think he can save me From all of the boys who come He's never been able To tell truth from fable He doesn't believe he's wrong Jonathan invades me He tries to persuade me That I shouldn't walk alone He smiles shy and sweetly Every time he greets me But I don't want Jonathan following me home ah ah ah ah Jonathan blames me He says I'm too pretty I shouldn't have smiled that way And they never asked him if he had a reason They only told Jonathan, “don't do it again” ah ah ah ah

Feel so good Takes my world so nice Makes me run all night In my world so right And I'd love to climb a thousand places See what's good Makes me see sunlight Hide no more in flight Cry again for happiness I'd love to see what's inside It's so simple So amazing What's going on to bring All this beauty into everything Did you catch the sign Sings of love, it shines Can you carry the sweetness By the loneliness it leaves behind Crawl along Can we lose the wrong I won't stay too long But it's alright, it's fine you don't mind So simple (what’s the thing) So amazing (that can bring) What's gone on to bring All this beauty into everything So simple everything So simple everything So simple everything Is it wrong to see you’re beautiful Nothing’s wrong with me anymore I just feel free Feel so good Feel so right See what's good See sunlight Cry again for happiness I'd love to see what's inside It's so simple (what’s the thing) So amazing (that can bring) What's gone on to bring All this beauty into everything So simple everything

Angel 05:24
In the morning I will pray to you Light a candle on my knees There must be something I can say to you Something to make you believe Will you kiss me in the morning light This is all I ask of you Like you kissed me when we said good night Let me know you feel this, too Oh Angel I'm in love with you If you can please speak to me And tell me that you want to be my angel Cause I'm in love with you All my wishes will come true If you say you'll be my angel Will you bathe me in your sacred wine Till I’ve stained my body red Show me how to drink your love divine So I can calm these angry voices in my head And in the morning we will lie together With this candle burning low Tell me this will be Tell me we will be this way forever Cause my beautiful angel this is something that I need to know Oh Angel, I'm in love with you If you can please speak to me And tell me that you want to be my angel Cause I'm in love with you All my wishes will come true All my wishes will come true Oh do you feel me Angel I'm in love with you If you can please speak to me And tell me that you want to be my angel Cause I'm in love with you All my wishes All my wishes will come true with you My angel I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I’m in love with you Oh won't you tell me that you want to be my angel Cause I'm in love with you All my wishes will come true If you say you'll be my angel

Lorraine 03:26
She holds mountains in her hands When he cries she knows why There is love and everything tonight Where Lorraine goes he wants to be Over rainbows drifting lazy Toward the land where she comes from There is only freedom Tangled tangled in her web He unwinds and finds a thread To rejoice that she has said He can stay around till summertime has ended Where Lorraine goes he wants to be Over rainbows drifting lazy toward Toward the land where she comes from He follows Lorraine He follows Lorraine He follows Lorraine She holds mountains in her hands When he cries she knows why There is love in everything There is magic in her He follows her everywhere Crimson petals fall in silver streams from her hair Oh where Lorraine goes he wants to be Over rainbows drifting lazy Toward the land where she comes from He follows Lorraine He follows Lorraine He follows Lorraine

Baring Souls 05:28
Spending time baring souls Let me in Let me go You want to be close But you need to be distant, too Take my hand let it go How can I let you know Just how good it feels baby when I'm next to you I want you to notice that I want You say you're here for me But you still want to be free So I never know when you will be around Well Penelope is someone I'll never be Waiting for her man to cross the sea Honey I'm not the kind to wait that patiently No no no

Another Life 04:34
Let me feel this day Cause it's charm has almost ended And I know you will say That I'm crazy for believing But I feel this time That I know my direction and I know my mind Let me feel this way There are days when I Am sure that I have lived another life There are days when I Can feel this love it's all inside my mind So you think I'm a fool I don't paint the world like you do But the colors I see Are the ones that I will paint for you Well you tell me time has a Way of making you change your mind I will not be swayed cause There are days when I Am sure that I have lived another life There are days when I Can feel this love it's all inside my mind Well you tell me that it's not for you This life I lead But you asked me what it is That makes me smile So I tell you that it's all the things you don't believe So you tell me it's not your style Well I don't mind You'll see the signs In time
