Now I'm sliding, it's intriguing
So young yet too old to learn
That summer is the thirst
The river always runs dry first

You're in heaven
This is heaven now
You're in heaven

As the tides they draw and close
And the seasons turn again
Will the moon still wax and wane?
Will you always colour the day?

You're in heaven
This is heaven now
You're in heaven

Now I'm sliding, it's intriguing (this is heaven now)
So young yet too old to learn
That summer is the thirst
The river always runs dry first

You're in heaven
This is heaven now
You're in heaven

You're sailing away, to another shore
My heartache today, I can't tell you anymore

And I thought I saw your shadow in the street today
But that was yesterday, oh that was yesterday

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time
You might forgive me

Believe me I know it's been hard for you
There's never an easy way to let it go

And I dreamt that you were telling me you dreamt of me
But now I'm waking up, I think I'm waking up

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time
You might forgive me

And I thought I saw your jacket in my room today
But that was yesterday, oh was that yesterday?

With a little courage, in time
You might forgive me
With a little loving, in time
You might forgive me

I see stars above me
But the sky is bare
When will I catch the sunrise?
I could wear it anywhere

I'd like to take you with me
To steal the moon
Then we could bring it back
To brighten up my best friend's room

Close your eyes
Let me take you to the sun
Burning slowly
Held together in the sky

I want to find a rainbow
And paint it black
Then fly the satellite
That landed here this afternoon

Close your eyes
Let me take you to the sun
Burning slowly
Held together in the sky

Close your eyes
And let me take you to the sun
Burning slowly
Held together in the sky

There's nothing missing you can place
Nothing broken you can save
Nothing wounded you can heal

Close your eyes
Let me take you to the sun
Burning slowly
Held together in the sky

Close your eyes
Let me take you to the sun
Burning slowly
Held together in the sky

I'm inside, I'm outside
I'm with you, without you
Don't love me, don't leave me
Don't trust me, believe

Embrace me, release me
Deny me, then feed me
I'll own you, then lose you
So distant, so near me

I, I wanna hear the sound
I only dream of

And I, I wanna feel the chill
of summer love

Make it true
Making you

Oh, make it true
Making you

I, I wanna hear you your voice
Through the darkness

But how, yeah how can I be sure?
You constantly change

Oh, make it true
making you

Oh, make it true
making you

Try to catch her
coming from the sun

There's an answer
till the daylight comes

Try to catch her
coming from the sun

There's an answer
till the daylight comes

Try to catch her
coming from the sun

Maybe you'll die
In her arms

In her arms

There's an answer
till the daylight comes

Try to catch her
coming from the sun

When I close my eyes
I can see you reach out to me
In my deepest dream
I can hear you call out to me

Where in the world are you tonight?

Did I Imagine You?
Did I Imagine You?
Are you somebody real?
That I can touch and feel?

Here in my dreams
I'm waiting for you
Just take my hand
I'll carry you through

Now and then it seems
I can hear you climb the stairs
Opening the door
I realise you're not there

Where in the world are you tonight?

Did I Imagine You?
Did I Imagine You?
Are you somebody real?
That I can touch and feel?

Here in my dreams
I'm waiting for you
Just take my hand
I'll carry you through

Here in my dreams
I'm waiting for you
Just take my hand
I'll carry you through

You travel through my blood coursing through my veins
And today, the memory like a shadow I can't shake

[French verse]

I confess you've got a hold on me
But I never fall this easily

Your history seems to shroud you like a plague
And you wonder why this thought keeps you awake

I never asked you to step inside my skin
I let you stay here haunting me within

[French verse]

I confess you've got a hold on me
But I never fall this easily

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

(She's lost)
Words mean nothing now
(She's lost)

She didn't want to conquer you
Another misconception
It tasted strange, she can't explain
But it's all forgotten now

Her fingerprints are on your hands
That's all she's left for you
You just untangled all her words
They're inexpensive now

(She's lost)
Words mean nothing now
(She's lost)

You walked the world
It's almost over now
You satellite escape each day

You've got an alpha female muse
A little introspection
She isn't there to be misused
The shallowest reflection

(She's lost)
Words mean nothing now
(She's lost)

When all is said and done
So weak and overcome
So tired of running still
The winter

I look into your eyes
An orchid without sun
Some things you can't disguise
So many people so lonely inside

Waiting
And if all this brings you down
I will be coming round

When useless dreaming comes to an end
Who will carry all your fears?

When all the tears from fury have passed
Maybe love has just begun

Like a faded photograph
A child caught in a storm
Though we will never sleep
The winter

There's lipstick on the glass
The questions left unasked
Two fools who've left the game
Finding themselves without solace again

Waiting
And if all this brings you down
I will be coming round

When useless dreaming comes to an end
Who will carry all your fears?

When all the tears from fury have passed
Maybe love has just begun

Maybe love has just begun

I'm inside, I'm outside
I'm with you, without you
Don't love me, don't leave me
Don't trust me, believe

Embrace me, release me
Deny me, then feed me
I'll own you, then lose you
So distant, so near me
