letra de Fragile
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

letra de All This Time
I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play.
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea.
Two priests came round our house tonight
One young one old to offer prayers for the dying
To serve the final rite,
One to learn, one to teach,
Which way the cold wind blows
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea
If i had my way i'd take a boat from the river
And i'd bury the old man,
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
And as these words were spoken i swear i hear
The old man laughing,
'what good is a used up world, and how could it be
Worth having'
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly like a silent tear
And all this time the river flowed
Father, if jesus exists,
Then how come he never lived here.
The teacher told us, the romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire
Garrison town,
They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found
And all this time the river flowed
In the falling light of a northern sun
If i had my way i'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
But they only get better
One by one
One by one...

letra de When We Dance
If he loved you
like i love you
i would walk away in shame
i'd move town, i'd change my name
When he watches you
when he comes to buy your soul
on your hand his golden rings
like he owns the bird that sings
When we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
The priest has said my soul
salvation is in the balance of the angels
and underneath the wheels of passion
i keep my faith in my fashion
When we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
(oooh) i'm still in love with you
Chorus
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
i'm gonna love you night and day
i'm gonna try in every way
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna find a place to live
give you all i've got to give
i would love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
If i could break down these walls
and shout my name at heaven's gate
i'd take these hands
and i'd destroy the dark machineries of fate,
cathedrals are broken
heaven's no longer above
hellfire's a promise away
i'd still be saying
i'm still in love
still in love
still in love
still in love...
He won't love you
like i love you
he won't care for you this way
he'll mistreat you with disdain
Come and live with me
we'll have children of our own
i would love you more than life
if you'll come and be my wife
Chorus
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
i'm gonna love you night and day
i'm gonna try in every way
when we dance
angels will run and hide their wings
i'm gonna find a place to live
give you all i've got to give
i would love you more than life
if you'll only be my wife
[etc...]
When we dance...
I had a dream last night
dreamt you were by my side
walking with me baby
my heart was filled with pride
i had a dream last night

letra de Brand New Day
How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear
That you'd never love again?
How many lonely sleepless nights?
How many lies how many fights?
And why would you want to
Put yourself through all of that again?
Love is pain i hear you say
Love is a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet?
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day?
Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey?
I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero sister
You'll never know how much i missed her
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we'll swim across
We're starting up a brand new day
It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
There is simply no immunity
There's no guarantee
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it
You need some time for reflection
You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Turn the clock to zero honey
I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we'll swim across
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
We're starting up a brand new day
I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm the bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and i'm the wave
I'm the plough and you're the land
You're the glove and i'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm the flagpole to your nation
I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and i'm the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil i'm the teacher
You're the church and i'm the preacher
You're the flower i'm the rain
You're the tunnel i'm the train
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day
You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We could turn this ship around
And go up instead of down
You're the pan and i'm the handle
You're the flame and i'm the candle
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

letra de Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

letra de Moon Over Bourbon Street
There's a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street
It was many years ago I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eyes of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street
She walks everyday through the streets of new orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street
If I Ever Lose My Faith In YouVer letra 4:31

[X]
letra de If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
You could say i lost my faith in science and progress
you could say i lost my belief in the holy church
you could say i lost my sense of direction
you could say all of this and worse, but
if i ever lose my faith in you
there'd be nothing left for me to do
Some would say i was a lost man in a lost world
you could say i lost my faith in the people on tv
you could say i'd lost my belief in our politicians
yhey all seemed like game show hosts to me
if i ever lose my faith in you
there'd be nothing left for me to do
i could be lost inside their lies without a trace
but every time i close my eyes i see your face
I never saw no miracle of science
that didn't go from a blessing to a curse
i never saw no military solution
that didn't always end up as something worse, but
let me say this first
if i ever lose my faith in you
there'd be nothing left for me to do

letra de Every Breath You Take
Every breath you take

Every move you make

Every bond you break

Every step you take

I'll be watching you

Every single day

Every word you say

Every game you play

Every night you stay

I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see

You belong to me

How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face

I look around but it's you I can't replace

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby please

Oh can't you see

You belong to me

How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you
