Oh yes, you gone now
What is there for me to do?
Cry, no, I’ll just be sad and blue
But you taught me how to love, it’s true
Why did you leave me here too blue?
You left me, left me in a lonesome mood
This heart aches, not an easy thing to lose
Now here alone I sing the blues
This feeling, oh, what a lonesome mood
Now that you’ve gone
I feel so bad
I lost the only love that I ever had
You left me, left me in a lonesome mood
Du du du du du du du du du
Cry
Du du du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du
Why
Du du du du du du du
Du du du
Now that you’ve gone
I feel so bad
I lost the only love that I ever had
You left me, left me in a lonesome mood
Bye now, oh, what a lonesome mood
Bye now, oh, what a lonesome mood
Bye now, oh, what a lonesome mood
Bye bye, now now now now, oh
I thought I had it altogether
But I was led astray
The day you walked away
You were the clock
That was ticking in my heart
Changed my state of mind
But love’s so hard to find
Your feelings change like the weather
Went from clear to grey
On that cloudy day
How can I go on
With that bomb in the palm
Love’s so hard to find
When someone’s on your mind
Listen baby
Your wish is my command
Baby won’t you understand
That your wish is my command
What can I do to make
My baby understand
Something tells me that I’m dreaming
I can see us there
Waving unaware
Of problems that have a tendency to keep
Keep the truth confined
Far from our minds
You need someone you can believe in
This i do declare
Trust me i’ll be there
The road that leads to heaven can be so steep
I will help you climb
Change your state of mind
Listen baby
Your wish is my command
Baby won’t you understand
That your wish is my command
What can I do to make
My baby understand
Every face
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
Cause everything’s changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday
Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration?
You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
When you’re secure do you feel much safer?
But days never change and it’s three years later
It’s like your life
Hasn’t changed and it’s three years late
How does it feel to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today?
What seems different, seems different today?
Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration
You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how you wanted it to be
I’m over my head, out of her head she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you’ve always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory you were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude as you talked and chewed on the last of your pick and mix
You said “You’re mistaken if you’re thinking that I haven’t been called ‘cold’ before” as you bit into your strawberry lace
Then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
It’s all you had left and it was going to waste
Your pastimes consisted of the strange, the twisted and deranged
And I loved that little game you had called “Crying Lightning”
And how you liked to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection it was on its way to meet you, thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side but your profile could not hide the fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache, stood and puffed your chest out like you’d never lost a war
Although I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction there was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your pastimes consisted of the strange, the twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called “Crying Lightning”
And how you liked to aggravate the ice cream man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting, but not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
I’ve got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You’ve got somethin, I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can’t erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can’t believe there is a lie
Promise is promise, an eye for an eye
We’ve got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
I think you already know
How far I’d go not to say
You know the art isn’t gone
And I’m taking my song to the grave
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don’t tell anyone
Like a folk singer’s song, I’m moving on
And I’m not the kind of man that acts very strong
When the girls are looking on
When the girls are looking on
If you tied my hands and put chains on my feet
I can picture myself walking down any street
Telling people that I meet
“Psst, looks like rain to me”
Every single day at eleven, I’m home in bed in sleep heaven
Alone cuz my girl leaves at seven
Ain’t got time for my bed in, she said stop pretending
You’re not John Lennon
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrists
And drop your fists
Soon as I’m well I’m gonna leave my house
Become more of a man and less like a mouse
Drive my car down south to the Mississippi’s mouth
In the gulf of Mexico I’ll get soused
Every girl I made in the shade of Esplanade
I’ve saved in a song that I play when I’m afraid
Of a full scale air-raid from the choices that I’ve made
Every single day at eleven, I’m home in bed in sleep heaven
Alone cuz my girl leaves at seven
Ain’t got time for my bed in, she said stop pretending
You’re not John Lennon
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrists
And drop your fists
D r o p y o u r f i s t s
No matter how much you take of each song that I make
I’m not fragile, I don’t break and I’m down at the lake
And I hope someday you’ll have a fait
With all that money that you make
It was fun while it lasted and then it was blasted
Right out of the water and into fantastic
Now he feels shafted and she’s already past it
She’s like elastic and he’s just some spastic
Every single day at eleven, I’m home in bed in sleep heaven
Alone cuz my girl leaves at seven
Ain’t got time for my bed in, she said stop pretending
You’re not John Lennon
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrists
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrists
If I ever get over this
Will I ever get over this
Having tasted your lips with a kiss
You can cross me off your list
Take these cuffs from off my wrists
And drop your fists
Offer your trust to a friend
Who is not what he says
And you know when you’re dry, what you’re thinkin
Trout in the brook, you’re about to get hooked
To a greedy false un-catholic knave
The black book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why
I took the locomotive to kreutzberg
Passed through the scenery
And passengers got on that train too
And they really surprised me when they said
The black book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why
I’ve got some friends
But I got some enemies too
And yes I got some people in between
People just like you
The black book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why
The black book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Said the voice from afar
Don’t you know it doesn’t have to be so hard?
Waiting for everyone else around to agree
Might take too long
When it won’t be so hard
(It won’t be so hard)
Well it’s true, yes, but you
Won’t get far telling me
That you are
All you’re meant to be
When the one from my dream
Is sitting right next to me
And I don’t know what to do
Oh alter ego
Get them to love you
While they may depending
On your words and wealth
The only one who’s really judging you
Is yourself
Nobody else
If I could part
It wouldn’t be so hard
Well it’s true yes, but you
Won’t get far telling me that
You are all you’re meant to be
When the one from my dream
Is sitting right next to me
And I don’t know what to do
Oh alter ego

THERE GOES THE FEAR Doves
Out of here
We’re out of here
Out of heartache
Along with fear
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear
And cars speed fast
Out of here
And life goes past
Again so near
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear
Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
‘Cos there goes the fear
Let it go
You turn around and life’s passed you by
You look to those you love
To ask them why?
You look to those you love
To justify
You turned around and life’s
Passed you by
Passed you by, again
And late last night
Makes up her mind
Another fight
Left behind
There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear
Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
‘Cos there goes the fear
Let it go
You turn around and life’s passed you by
You look to ones you love
To ask them why ?
You look to those you love
To justify
You turned around and life’s
Passed you by
Passed you by, again
Think of me when you’re coming down
But don’t look back when leaving town
Think of me when he’s calling out
But don’t look back when leaving town
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don’t look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you’re coming down
But don’t look back when leaving town today
There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear, let it go
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don’t look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you’re coming down
But don’t look back when leaving town today
