Mermaid Kiss

I am desire
That burns within like fire
I never tire
I am desire
With one look I can change the world
With one look, I am the mocking girl
I am the flame
The shadow over your name
Never the same
I am the flame
With one look, the world spins a different way
With one look, you're always in yesterday.
I am the sin
Carried on the wind
Breathing me in
I am the sin
With one look you need me to make you whole.
With one look, I know your heart and soul.
I am the sea
Deepest mystery
Come unto me
I am the sea
With one look I am your darkest wish
With one look I am your mermaid kiss.

Breathing Under Water
03:25
|

|
This isn’t simple, take my word
To forget or to remember all the things I’ve heard
One more footstep, take your time
It can lead you from the absurd to the sublime
Where the rosemary grows, well nobody knows, or nobody can remember
And if its pansies for thoughts, well I must have all sorts, and I watch them scatter....
And the whiteness washes over
As I float above the river bed
And I can finally forgive you
All the things you’ve said
Now I’m breathing under water
Dancing with the tide
Moving to a rhythm I can hear inside
When they’re gone.
I am not dreaming, take my hand
I shall sing to you of ways to understand
Where the rosemary grows, well nobody knows, or nobody can remember
And if it’s pansies for thoughts, well I must have all sorts, and I watch them scatter....
I make a garland for you, from the cornflower blue, it’s the colour of how I’m feeling
And now I’m playing at god, and I know that it’s odd, but I’m sure I'm sinking....
And the whiteness washes over
As I float above the river bed
And I can finally forgive you
All the things you’ve said
Now I’m breathing under water
Dancing with the tide
Moving to a rhythm I can hear inside
Now I’m gone.

Write My Name In Stars
05:52

All the love I ever wanted
Who’d have thought I’d find it here
Something I would never dream
All the love I feel for you
Takes pity on me
Takes pity on you
And I feel you
I feel you coming down
Now I feel you
I feel you coming down
Write my name in stars, write my name in stars
Don’t you think you owe me something for all these tears and all these scars?
Write my name in stars, write my name in stars
Don’t you think you owe me something for all these tears and all these scars?
All the words I’ve ever followed
They all lead back to you
All the stars I’ve ever watched out in the night
See them bleed into you.
Cos I feel you
I feel you coming down
Now I feel you
I feel you coming down
Write my name in stars, write my name in stars
Don’t you think you owe me something for all these tears and all these scars?
Write my name in stars, write my name in stars
Don’t you think you owe me something for all these tears and all these scars?

Blind
05:12

And though the storm is raging
My eyes are blind, my eyes are blind
And though the world is crazy
My eyes are blind, my eyes are blind.
And though the guns are blazing
My eyes are blind, my eyes are blind
And though the world is crazy
My eyes are blind, my eyes are blind.
And I don’t want to see,
No no I don’t want to see
The world in a different light
I keep it out of my mind and out of sight
And I don’t want to see,
No, no, I don’t want to see
The world on t.v.
Cos tonight I don’t want to face reality.
And now the light is fading
I close my eyes, I close my mind
And all the world’s gone crazy
Our eyes are blind, our eyes are blind.

Spirit
04:02

Beneath every song there’s a spirit
And the spirit lies in you
Beneath every word there’s a meaning
And I’m meaningless without you
So I’m floating down river
Lost at sea
But you can save me from drowning
Find a meaning inside me
Music touches my soul
It’s my heartbeat the melody stole
For you don’t find music it gets deep inside you
And the spirit won’t let you go.
I move with the feel of the rhythm
Cos I’ve felt the warmth so long
Inspired in a world without beauty
For the beauty lies in song
So I’m lifted on high
I’ve found my wings
And I leave all the hurt behind me
Helped by the words that I sing
Music touches my soul
It’s my heartbeat the melody stole
For you don’t find music it gets deep inside you
And the spirit won’t let you go.

Soundchaser
05:02
|
|||
|
See, here I come in the hours you’re sleeping
Round the edges of dreams you’ll find me creeping
Inside your head, for the echoes of lives you’ve led,
But I take my time
I’m searching for sounds in the heat of the night
The soft cries of love, the screams of fright
I will take them away, silence the dawn of day
But I take my time
And the Soundchaser will come
Drawn by the aching within my heart
And I’m there for you, there for you, taking your cares for you,
There for you, stealing the sound of your breath from you now...
I travel the night on a wave of words
The secrets, the lies, the whispers half heard
Whatever they be, they will set me free
But I take my time.....
And the Soundchaser will come
Drawn by the aching within your heart
And I’m there for you, there for you, taking your cares for you,
There for you, stealing the sound of your breath from you now...
Silent as shadow as swift as sin
I’ve come for the words you speak and sing
There’s nowhere to hide, I am at your side
And I take your time......

This Feeling
03:37
|

|
I feel the sun against my skin
A new day dawns, a new world begins
So much pleasure must be a sin
But it doesn't really matter, no it doesn't really matter...
No summer rain will fall on me,
I walk on water - challenge gravity,
The road I want lies at my feet
Coz there's nothing in the way now, no there's nothing in the way of
This feeling....
My emotions are an ocean and I’m moving with the tide
My head cries out reason but I can't deny what's inside
I'm calm upon the surface yet underneath the waves
The currents are pulling and what carries me away is this feeling......
The far horizon is a purple haze
Stretches on forever like these endless days
Life's an open road and I'm on my way
Cos that’s all that really matters now, yes all that really matters...
This feeling...

Just Like You
04:02
|

|
I’m just a simple girl
My life man-made.
I’m one of a kind
Or so they say
But I’m the image of you
A mirror-maid
I’m just like you
I’m just like you.
O, I don’t want to go
I don’t want to fade
I’m not a memory
You can wipe away
Can’t put me back in the box
I’m here to stay
I’m just like you
I’m just like you.
You became a God
In your image I was made
A life born of self-love
But you weren’t born again
Just want to be who I am
But I remain
Just like you
Just like you.

Some Days Are Like This
03:02
|
|||
|
There's sun and lightning in the room that's next to mine,
And while he's throwing thunderbolts you still contrive to shine.
Do you think that I don't notice the cuts and bruises round your eyes,
The cigarette-burn tattoos that your make-up just can't hide.
Some days are like this...
A lamb goes to the slaughter with far more fuss than you
Suffering in silence while he beats you black and blue
And when I ask you, if I press you hard enough,
You say it's nothing - just his way of showing love.
Some days are like this...
Remember you once told me that things get better when we die?
I thought that you were joking, that it was just a silly lie.
But now I'm older and I can feel your bitter fear
I've learnt to see the truth in every desperate tear.
Some days are like this...

Like Water
04:15
|

|
Now the sun beats down
The heat turns me crazy
Theres no-one else around
No-one here to save me
You’re the devil on my shoulder
I crave your lips like water...
I’m reminded what love can be by the suggestion in your eyes
But I should have known better, should have seen through your disguise
And here we can do anything beneath the desert sun
And the devil on my shoulder is whispering go on
So take my hand, lead me on
Leaving shadows in the sand
Wind-blown on a course we hadn’t planned
So hand in hand, you lead me on
While our shadows are growing long
The wind covers over our tracks in the sand,
And we’re lost in this land.
All these days and nights,
My guardian angel lost from sight
You’re the devil on my shoulder
I crave your lips like water...
Remember love is protective, it comes in no disguise
Lust is a predator, blinding you with lies.
You say we can do anything beneath the desert sun
You’re the devil on my shoulder and you whisper go on.
So take my hand, lead me on
Leaving shadows in the sand
Wind-blown on a course we hadn’t planned
So hand in hand, you lead me on
While our shadows are growing long
The wind covers over our tracks in the sand,
And we’re lost in this land.

Fated
03:00
|

|
Look out the window
Look out the window see the snow
Falling like stars
Caught in mid glow
I guess we’re fated
All of us fated,
To come and go.
Josanne sent pictures
O pretty pictures,
Colorado
Her cabin in deep snow
I guess we’re fated,
All of us fated
By what we know.
And I like the sun, I like the rain
I like the way life’s just a game
We rise we fall we sink we swim
And then the world begins again.
Watching the water
Watching the water flowing past
A change in the air
Is coming at last
I guess we’re fated,
All of us fated
To stand and stare.

Whisper
03:47
|
|||
|
Lost in the dark rising mountains
I wander blind to their sound
Follow the words that you taught me
Keep your ear close to the ground
I hear them whisper my name
I hear them whisper my name
Lost in the art of the forest
I’m falling under its spell
Talking in tongues of the ancients
Listening to stories they tell
Lost in the tangle of rivers
I’m floating gently upstream
Drawn by the sound of your crying
Drawn by the sound of your screams
I hear you whisper my name
I hear you whisper my name

Thirteen

Treize, un nombre malheureux
Un nombre sans bonheur
Et sans joie
Mais aujourd’hui vous etes dans mon coeur
Et vous etes un bonheur
Pour moi.
Mais maintenant un nouveau jour commence
Et pour nous une nouvelle danse
Et maintenant le numero treize a de la bonne chance.

I am the sea
Deepest mystery
Come unto me
I am the sea
With one look I am your darkest wish
With one look I am your mermaid kiss.
I am the flame
I know your heart and soul
I am desire
I am your mermaid kiss.
