Bleeding Hearts


Don’t know what I thought I’d find

Out here on my own

Freedom or just peace of mind

A way to get back home


I gave up on the life I knew

And tore our love apart

You wiped away the traces

But you kept the Bleeding Hearts

 

Bleeding Hearts! How many broken hearts

I can see them now swaying in the dark

You moved on when I tore our lives apart

And now all that's left are Bleeding Hearts.


On the corner, all alone

I pass them everyday

A tribute to a love that’s gone

A life I threw away


I gave up all the things I knew

and tore our love apart

All the plans we made but all

that’s left are Bleeding Hearts


Bleeding Hearts! And crying broken hearts

They are in my mind swaying in the dark

You broke free when I tore our love apart

And now all that's left are Bleeding Hearts.


I wonder if you told her

I planted them with you

It feels like so long ago

Was any of that true?


I gave up on the life I knew

And tore our love apart

My mistake cuts like a knife

Into my bleeding heart.


Bleeding Hearts! How many broken hearts

I can see them now swaying in the dark

You found someone new when I tore our lives apart

And now all that's left are Bleeding Hearts.


Flowers fade and fall away

Seasons turn and torment me

I went off to live my dreams

But nothing ever comes for free


Bleeding Hearts! And crying broken hearts

They are in my mind swaying in the dark

You broke free when I tore our love apart

And now all that's left are Bleeding Hearts.

Get Moving


太阳下山

华灯初绽

不要错过这夜未央


不要告诉我在哪儿

不要告诉我去哪儿

只想跟上夜的节拍


One last kiss. Don't wake up.  

You make it all seem so unclear. 

There is nothing here for me…

I'll find my own way out of here. 

 

I can't stay, not this time.  

I'm leaving you, without a sound

I've been down this road before. 

And this time I won't turn around. 


太阳下山

华灯初绽

不要错过这夜未央


不要告诉我在哪儿

不要告诉我去哪儿

只想跟上夜的节拍


I'm not breathing

Heart is fading

Senses failing day by day


Need some loving

Gotta get moving

Got a feeling its OK

 

Time to move… time to fly

I really hope you understand

Yes I've been down this road before. 

And this time I won't turn around. 

 

Turn it up. Drown it out.

My memories they're all so loud.

Time will pass, and soon you’ll be

Another face within the crowd.


太阳下山

华灯初绽

不要错过这夜未央


不要告诉我在哪儿

不要告诉我去哪儿

只想跟上夜的节拍


I'm not breathing

Heart is fading 

Senses failing day by day


Need some loving

Gotta get moving

Got a feeling its OK

I'm Coming Home


From a bus on the old highway

The river still looks the same

I found and lost my dreams

There's no one else to blame


And the birds they fly south for the winter

But they come back every spring,

And so I had to go but tonight

I'm coming home, Im coming home, Im coming home


My heart hasn't changed its mind

If you still feel the same

I wanted to stay right here  

No one but me to blame

And i had to try to fly

To see what i could be

I know what I took from you

But I needed to be free


Wherever you are in life

I hope you still feel the same

And now you've moved on from here

I have to take the blame


And the birds they fly south for the winter

But they come back every spring,

I have no right but I hope you're here for me

When I come home…. I'm coming home.

The Morning Sun


Red leaves blowing from the west reveal the time

It's all moving way too fast within my mind

I can't stop the world spinning round the sun

Please hold on tonight. We knew the time would come


I don't know what tomorrow brings, how can we

Deceive our yesterdays? And hold each other near.

The morning sun will come again the light now

Will guide us on our way. Tonight I know you're here


My breath on your neck, hold it in your soul

Take it out when you’re alone let it make you whole.

We can stop the world spinning round and round.

Please hold on to tonight

What’s lost can still be found.


I don't know what tomorrow brings, how can we

Deceive our yesterdays? And hold each other near

The morning sun will find us lying here.


Red leaves are falling in clear jade moonlight

Hold me till morning all through the night

The world stops its turning, the heavens are one

Wait for the new day, the new Morning Sun.

Falling Down


Don't try to tell me that I'm just afraid of falling
And don't try to say that I'm scared of letting go
And don't try to tell me I'm frightened and I'm stalling
'Cos I already know

It's been dark so long that I thought the light had faded
Your smile filled the room just like it was the sun
I'm so good at the easy answers, I'm so jaded
You laugh and I'm undone

And I'm so afraid of the things that I am feeling
And all I can see are the things that I could lose
I've worked very hard to be empty and now I'm reeling
And so how can I choose?

You can see right through into my soul
You make me long for something I've not known before
Everything I am has been laid bare
It feels like I could be someone who doesn't care

But you look at me
And it sets me free
Like tumbling down into a different world
Shiny new and I'm a different girl

Don't try to tell me that I'm just afraid of falling
And don't try to say that I'm scared of letting go
And don't try to tell me I'm frightened and I'm stalling
'Cos I already know

And I'm so afraid of the things that I am feeling
And all I can see are the things that I could lose
I've worked very hard to be empty and now I'm reeling
And so how can I choose?

So don't try to tell me that I'm just afraid of falling
And don't try to say that I'm scared of letting go
And don't try to tell me I'm frightened and I'm stalling
'Cos I already know
'Cos I already know
'Cos I already know
'Cos I already know

Dream All Your Dreams (Over Me)


Cry for me once turn around and begin
Love with your heart and be free
Take all you can take the world in your hands
Dream all your dreams over me

I saw you in the square
I could see your thoughts so clearly
Waves of secrets hidden there
I let one of them come near me

Face the fear
Chase the new
These are things that I must say to you

Cry for me once turn around and begin
Love with your heart and be free
Luck will arrive you will dance you will shine
Dream all your dreams over me

I watched him yesterday
I still can feel him clearly
Something dark inside a smile
A thousand feelings flowing through me

Catch your eye
Light your soul
Ease your mind

Cry for me once turn around and begin
Love with your heart and be free
Luck will arrive you will dance you will shine
Dream all your dreams over me

I miss you every day
You find a pathway to my heart
You're the one who knows the way
To stop me living in the darkness

Through the crowd
Lights will shine
Life is fantasies caught up in time

One day one day life will trip life will fall
One day the moment hits you
Take all you can take the world in your hands
Give all the love that you can

Cry for me once turn around and begin
Love with your heart and be free
Luck will arrive you will dance you will shine
Dream all your dreams over me

Dance through the sky, go to sleep, don't you cry
Love with your heart and be free
Take all you can take the world in your hands
Dream all your dreams over me

You're My Man (Till Death Do Us Part)


You're my man

A light in my hand

You make it easy

You understand


You're the one

Who hears every call

Helps me to fly

And catches my fall


And you found me here

Afraid of the dark

You lit the stars

And healed my heart...


You're my man

A light in my hand

Till the night comes

Till we understand


Why we're here

And how to give

Hold nothing back

For that is to live


You found me here

Afraid of the dark

You lit the stars

And healed my heart...


Be my man

A light in my hand

You make it easy

You understand


And that is to love

And that is to light

A path in the darkness

A star in the night

A star in the night.

High Flying Machine


High flying machine

smooth precision, pristine

Burnt straight out of a dream

Step In, and fly it with me


Leave your worries behind

Relax, the higher we climb

Illusions they always change with time

Now you can be free

 

Ride, step inside, inside your mind, mind your soul,

feel it growing now….

just let go, let go of the world, the world is yours,

so let's get going.


The isolation you feel

In your heart, you know it's not real

Watching the world from up here

The walls are no longer clear


A billion souls in the night

Waiting to see the light

Stay with me on this magic flight

Be free, be who you can be


Know, who you are, you are the child, child of stars,

ever burning bright

Since time began, timeless light, lights the dark,

so keep on learning.


Ride, step inside, inside your mind, find the urge,

feel it growing now

You can let go, let go of the world, the world is yours,

so let's get going now…..

Nothing Here To See


From the clear blue sky
You come to visit me
You come to find me in the waters
Of your empathy

I await my fate
You watch me on TV
My one remaining thought is how it feels to not be me
How it feels when you can close your eyes and dream

Turn away and close your eyes
Don't let the sadness stop you breathing
Turn away there's nothing here to see
Look towards your heart and
Shield your eyes from all the suffering
It's all a game there's nothing here to see

Carry on your games
You leaders of the free
While you debate and sleep in satin
Dust is all I breath

We salute your words
We love sincerity
Enjoy the moment
Make the most of your diplomacy
As you wait to take your place in history

Turn away and close your eyes
Don't let the sadness stop you breathing
Flip the channel nothing here to see
Look towards your heart and
Shield your eyes from all the suffering
It's all a game there's nothing here to see

Dig me from the sand, let me see blue sky
Dig me from the sand, let me learn to cry
Take me in your arms and sing to me
And please take me home

Turn away and close your eyes don't let the sadness stop you breathing
Turn away and close your eyes don't let the sadness stop you breathing

Turn away and close your eyes
Don't let the madness stop you breathing
Turn away there's nothing here to see
One more child awakes and then
Another cries in suffering it's
All a game there's nothing here to see

Everything Is Easy


Is this the right way?

I need an answer right now

I need to understand

And get the picture somehow

How can I find myself

When you're around me

Explaining who I should be

There's no place left here for me


Two souls together

Two souls forgot how to touch

Soul-mates to strangers

But still you own my heart so much

So much of who I am is wrapped up inside you

And here in the girl that you see

Who's so messed up in you

She's losing sight of me


Everything is easy when the sun goes down

Everything is easy when you smile

When you're here for me to put my arms around

When we can kiss our way into denial

Everything is easy when it's make-believe

Pretend that we're not fraying at the seams

Pretend that this is not some tangled web we weave

Made up of love and history and dreams.


Is this the right way?

To let it all slip away?

Or is it not the end

And we can both pretend and say?

Say all the things we would say if we were in love

And hope our words make it real

So close your eyes and just feel.


Everything is easy when the sun goes down

Everything is easy when you smile

When you're here for me to put my arms around

When we can kiss our way into denial

Everything is easy when it's make-believe

Pretend that we're not fraying at the seams

Pretend that this is not some tangled web we weave

Made up of love and history and dreams.

See Me Like That


I saw you there, with her again, I know what it means

You looked at me, staring at you. You smiled, easily.

A sheet of glass, a simple mask that hides, this blade in my heart.

‘Cause you’ll never see me like that.


You held her hands, so tenderly, I know what she means

She has your heart, she’s won the game. She knows how to play.

I shut you out, I was afraid and now you’ve moved on

Now you’ll never see me like that.


Style runs deep… I know how to bleed

who are you …. this man who's in need

of so much love he runs away too soon…..

and when he looks back he knows….

his moment has gone, and boy how it shows  


I saw you there, with her again, I know what it means

You looked at me, staring at you. You smiled, easily.

A sheet of glass, a simple mask that hides, this blade in my heart.

‘Cause you’ll never see me like that.

No you’ll never see me like that.

Dancing On My Own


I thought you were my everything

I flew too high and broke the string

 

I thought that all I had was gone

I tried my wings and they were strong

 

You broke me down I lost control

And that is when I found my soul

 

Now there is nothing you can do

I’m me and not a part of you

 

You want to break me just you try

And I will take my wings and fly

 

I have found, my truth, my light, my soul

That's the only path that I can know

 

That single note you tried to hide

Behind your smile, your laugh, your pride

 

When you told me I might be alone

I learned to dance… all on my own

 

There's nothing now to stop my dreams,

There’s no more need to hide my screams

 

No other place to be right now,

I wouldn’t be there anyhow

 

There’s more to me than I once knew

I’m not that girl who needed you

 

If this is who I have to be

For once the world makes sense to me.


Just try to break me just you try

Just watch me take my wings and fly

 

I have found, my truth, my light, my soul

That's the only path that I can know

 

That scheming mind you tried to hide

Behind your smile, your laugh, your pride

 

When you told me I might be alone

I learned to dance… all on my own

Eight Miles To The Border


8 miles to the border and we're getting there fast

8 miles to a life without you

8 miles to freedom so just turn on the gas

we've come too far not to make it through


We've come so far, not far enough yet


Just keep on driving we can get out of this

Silence and smoke are both getting so thick

I think of what they've done and it makes me sick

But there's no turning back the clock on it now


No turning back so keep on driving

Cos we need to focus on surviving


All the things I wish I'd done I never said goodbye

And now all the doors are closing fast behind.

It seemed so easy in the sun it felt like we could fly

And I have no future and my past is hard…. to find

Goodbye to all I was, I'm a shadow now as empty as the sky.

So wash away the world that's gone, destroy what's in my mind

I can force the fires of destiny to die

I can't regret the things i've done, I have to clear my mind,

you can't start a fire unless you have a spark.


Just one more crossing and you'll fade in the dark

Just one more bridge left to burn

Just one more bloody heart you've carved out your mark

Ran out of places I had to turn to


Ran out of space and time to save us


I know you want to keep on moving alone

The only path that you know how to take

And loving someone well it slows you right down

Makes all the choices so hard to make


We built our life on revolution

Believe me this is the best solution…


All the things I wish I'd done I never said goodbye

And now all the doors are closing fast behind.

It seemed so easy in the sun it felt like we could fly

And I have no future and my past is hard…. to find

Goodbye to all I was, I'm a shadow now as empty as the dark.

I can't regret the things I've done I have to clear my mind,

you can't start a fire unless you have a spark.

Before I Ever Knew Your Name


The winds are changing, blowing cold tonight.
  I see your eyes reflect the winter's light
The icy storms embrace
It makes you feel afraid
I see it all within your face
  How quick your smile can fade

(Girl of the frozen northlands, silent like the sea
How I wish you could know the soul of my country)

The home I knew is far away tonight.
Gardens in the morning mist, the golden light
The day I found you here
Beyond the broken road
I heard a voice that rang so clear
It sang and filled my soul

And it sang how I had always missed you
How I had longed to kiss you for so long
And it sang how I had once been blind to
Resist this urge to find you and hold on
And I never dreamed that I would be here
And now i see the reason why I came
And I needed you to make me whole again,
I feel it in my soul I think I knew it long before
I ever knew your name.

(Girl of the frozen northlands, silent like the ice)

So dry your tears and ease your weary mind
I' m not going anywhere tonight.
The day I found you here
Beyond the broken road
I heard a voice that rang so clear
It sang and filled my soul
And it sang how I had missed you
How I'd longed to kiss you for so long
And it sang how I'd once been blind to
Resist this urge to find you and hold on
And I never dreamed that I would be here
And now I see the reason why I came
And I needed you to make me whole again
I feel it in my soul I think I knew it long before
I ever knew your name.
