Isobel Campbell Album

Make it whole
Heart and soul
Heart and soul...

Make it whole
Heart and soul
Heart and soul...

Make it whole
Heart and soul
Heart and soul...

Un jour je t'emmènerai
Vers ce grand pays froid
Là où l'été se tait
La nuit la pluie sans cesse
Engouffré par l'hiver
Et blotti contre toi
Je te raconterai
Cette envie qui fait vivre

This is a story
That happened long ago
I never thought love would ever find me
Only infernal pain and woe
Weeping and wailing
"Saw gold and could not drink" (from "Season In Hell", Rimbaud)
Somnambulance eased the sea of questions
A sea of trouble brings and then

The breeze whispered your name
Long enough to hear it
Trees whispered the same
What I must do is follow you

Into the water and all the way to sea
Little fishes and eels and frogs dive after
So careless and so free
Must I abide now
Against the glassy stream
To wake or to sleep, remain forever
The strangest lily seen

And then the breeze whispered your name
Long enough to hear it
Trees whispered the same
What I must do is follow you

Tell me how I play around
So you say "I don't want you"
Go and play your little game
But still I'm going to haunt you now
Wearing your guitar
Letting your soul cry
Look into my eyes

Every time you miss the point
Yet every time you scold me
Talking so self-righteously
About everything you showed me, boy
Wearing your guitar
Letting your soul cry
Look into my eyes

And still your spirit comes to me
You were the one for life
You brightened up the sun for me
Even through all the fights

LyricsAnd still your spirit comes to me
You were the one for life
You brightened up the sun for me
Even through all the fights

This is not about what we see
A silhouette or colour
This is not about gaining points
But loving one and other
Boy, say you're angry now
I wonder why
You've got then round your little finger
You say you're angry now
Though I wonder why
The pattern it was in full swing
Yeah yeah yeah

Say you're angry now
I wonder why
You've got then round your little finger

Instrumental

Have you ever wanted to look beyond clouds and the stars
Want to know what causes the trees to burn
And what changes the darkness into light
If you talk like this, people call you crazy
But if I could figure out just one of these things
What eternity is for example
I wouldn't care if they did call me crazy

So fine, so elegant
Fun with no money spent
Each minute of the day, boy
That’s why I’m asking you
What is a girl to do
To make you notice her too

Marching to a different beat
When we walk down the street
Other girls won't alarm us
They think we're the cat's pyjamas

That’s why I’m asking you
What is a girl to do
To make you notice her too

Instrumental

Johnny, i'm alone and i'm feeling blue
Now you're grazing on pastures new
Cut the cord and we let it go
A nightingale flying, high and on its own
When you coming home?

Words came, violently filling up the room
Lovers have their own private mood
To taste the honey, we must taste blood
The poison nectar
And if we were on fire
Why we grow so tired?

Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba
Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba
Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba
Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba

Johnny, i'm alone and i'm feeling blue
Now you're lazing on pastures new
Lost my devil and lost my saint
Waiting's like dying...

If you are alone
Darling, come back home

Da-badaba-da-ba-da-badaba
Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba
Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba
Da-badaba-da-da-da-badaba

Instrumental

And now you come to me
Offering a rainbow
And now you come to me
With love for tomorrow

But now we must be wise
We have both been burnt here
I'm looking in your eyes
Yet still there's much to learn

Yours is to question why
My best occupation
Is letting life pass me by
Loving is not my thing

And yet you persevere
You mean the world to me, boy
If we don't give this thing a try
We'll wonder why

Sure as the rainbow climbs
After clouds and thunder
Sure as the sunbeam shines on fear
Because you're near

And so I come to you
Offering a rainbow
I'm giving only you
My love for tomorrow

Love used to be a stranger to me
Love was so disappointing
I was waiting for a sign
I was looking for some company
So I took a walk outside
What a lucky day

I saw the devil waiting for me
He'd bullets and green paper
He'd been walking through the earth
Swinging to and fro and down in it (from" the Book of Job" 1.6)
As I turned to walk away
That's when I saw your face

Love, there is nothing better than this
Love, think of all the chances we miss
See the people walking by
With their mobile and computer eyes
If they'd just afford the time
There is no greater gold

Love, I don't think I'll see you again
It isn't easy you say we're friends
When you opened up your heart
Just enough to make me see again
When you stopped to take my hand
It was meant this way
It was meant this way

The sun the moon
And the stars too
Fall to my feet
When I'm with you
Wilderness fades
With dark decay
December's june
November's may
This land flows with milk
This land flows with milk

Across the sea
You say today

I'm in your town, you're in the states
Even still we'll lie awake
Two thousand and one
The year of snakes

This land flows with milk
This land flows with milk
Lyrics
The sun the moon
And the stars too
Fall to my feet
When I'm with you
Wilderness fades
With dark decay
December's june
November's may
This land flows with milk
This land flows with milk

This land flows with milk
This land flows with milk...

Take your time
Take it real slow
It takes time
You know
Do unto
As you would do
To yourself
It's not new
What you reap
Is what you sew
Work it - stop!
Now go
There are those
Who will hurt you
And this just
Won't do
And there are those
Who'll bring you love
Sweet love
Listen up!
You will grow strong
LyricsWish you luck
Sing-song
Stars that shine
One day maybe
Yours and mine
Baby

And there are those
Who'll bring you love
Sweet love

Just when I think I'm getting closer
Just when I think I understand
Here comes a chaos to surround us
Of all the years without a plan
And to the spaceship from the carthorse
We play along, it's in the game

This time is just the same

They say we're too young to be lazy
And you're not going anywhere
And though I know that you'll act crazy
That doesn't mean I never care
And when you're tired of chasing rainbows
Just look me up and say my name

This time is just the same

With the seasons and the rung
Love is never changing, only time

LyricsAnd I'm not getting any younger
It is still the month of may
And where I'm going days are longer
I'm going to make it there one day
And I am not the same as you are
So wish me luck upon my way

This time is just the same

It's just the same
It's just the same
It's such a shame
It's just the same
It's such a shame
It's just the same
