Capaldi

Eve, there's a woman in your eyes
Oh Eve, you made me realise
Eve, give me a smile
Oh Eve, you're only a child.

But it's making me turn my head all the time
'Cause looking at your face is like seeing the sunshine.

Eve, I'll never let you down
Oh Eve, I'll always be around.

And it's making me turn my head all the time
'Cause looking at your face is like seeing the sunshine.

Oh Eve, give me a smile
Oh Eve, you're only a child.

Capaldi-Mason

Everybody's standing in a lake, crying out for the rain
Hoping for a miracle to drive away the pain
And some are heavy with a thirst which burns their very soul
For no one sees direction when they're standing in a hole.

Big thirst on my head, oh Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
But I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the South.

Some are walking in their graves, knowing it's no use
Beaten up for ignorance and treated with abuse
Oh God, I need your hand so bad, help me to get through
'Cause I know there's a place for me standing next to you.

Big thirst on my head, oh Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the South.

Everybody's looking up at the sky, waiting for a sign
Blind men leading blind men who're dragging on a line
People shooting at the sun, trying hard not to see
All the trouble in this world that's caused by you and me.

Big thirst on my head, oh Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the South.

Oh big thirst on my head, Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
I can see those green fields
Stretchin' to the South.

Capaldi

You're asking me if I can help you
In this world of live and die
But the only thing that I can do
Is try to make you laugh or cry.

Before someone can really help you
You gotta learn to help yourself
But don't get hung up with this message
I'm just concerned about your health.

'Cause I've been to the end and I've come back again
And I know not how or why
But I do know that love is free for the asking
And love O sweet love is all you can try.

I asked a man for some directions
In the early morning frost
'I'm a stranger in this town' - he said
'To tell you the truth, we're both quite lost'.

The temperature was slowly dropping
From our heads down to our toes
And the only thing that I could see
Was the icicles around my nose.

'Cause I've been to the end and I've come back again
And I know not how or why
But I do know that love is free for the asking
And love O sweet love is all you can try.

Capaldi

Can't stop this aching inside my heart
Can't stop this feeling that's tearing me apart
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn.

Can't stop the sun from setting in the West
Can't stop this pressure inside my chest
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn.

On the last day of dawn, when the world is no more
And the last tiny pigeon's been swept off the floor
And nobody's calling out loud in their sleep, yeah
'Cause the midnight entanglers thrown 'em all in a heap, alright now.

Can't stop this aching inside my heart
Can't stop this feeling that's tearing me apart
It's been with me ever since the day I was born
And it'll be with me on the last day of dawn.

Can't stop the sun from setting in the West
Can't stop this pressure inside my chest
And just like the singer when the curtain's been drawn
I'll fade in the shadows on the last day of dawn.

On the last day of dawn, when the world is no more
And the last tiny pigeon's been swept off the floor
And nobody's calling out loud in their sleep
'Cause the midnight entanglers thrown 'em all in a heap.

Can't stop this aching
Can't stop this aching
Can't stop this aching
Oh.

Capaldi

Don't be a hero, heroes are so sad
Don't be a hero, it'll just make you feel bad
Beware of the candyman, he doesn't realise
That the present that he's brought for you is gonna burn out your eyes.

Old Pharaoh's daughter once swallowed a grain
Which took her to Hades, where they blew out her brain
All the physicians just looked on in shame
Om the walls of the temple they erased her name.

'I'll see you tomorrow' - I heard someone say
The man he was talking to had faded away
Oh how he must have cried when he was alone
For the devil had taken his soul and the snow had froze him to the bone.

God's living herb is OK I suppose
But the thorn in your side once grew on a rose
So just take it easy, that's all I beseech
For love is the highest high you can reach.

Capaldi

Open your door so I can see your love
Open your heart so I can be a part
Of all you feel as you are me and me is you.

Loving you then the way I did before
Loving you now just makes me love you more
Each day I see that you are me and me is you.

Feeling love is true
Living love is real
How can I explain ?
Do you feel the same ?

Open your door so I can see your love
Open your heart so I can be a part
Of all you feel as you are me and me is you.

Loving you then the way I did before
Loving you now just makes me love you more
Each day I see that you are me and me is you.

Open your heart
Open your heart
...

How much can a man really take
When he's pushed himself too far ?
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall ?
How many times ? Too many to recall
Come on home.

He left his home in search of his soul
A many miles he did travel
Towards the East and distant shores
For the mystery of life to unravel
And many wondrous sights he did see
While passing through those lands
But he cast a shadow deep and long
Across the moving sands.

How much can a man really take
When he's pushed himself too far ?
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall ?
How many times ? Too many to recall
Come on home.

Fate was about to deal him a card
From the bottom of the pack
And he met his end in fair Nepal
With a dagger in his back
So raise up your eyes and see
That angel in the sky
And remember when you're searchin' for your soul
You're searchin' for to die.

How much can a man really take
When he's pushed himself too far ?
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star.

How many times have I seen him fall ?
How many times ? Too many to recall
Let's go.

Oh yeah, come on home, come on home
Got to get on home ...

Chaplin-Jolson

Oh how we danced on the night that we wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the sky
Except for the two that were there in your eyes.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love you so.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love ..

Oh how we danced on the night that we wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the sky
Except for the two that were there in your eyes.

Oh baby, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Always remember here in my heart
Baby I love ..
Alright, come on.
