I'm coming home to you
I'm alive, I'm a mess
I can't wait to get home to you
to get warm and undressed
There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in
So keep me in your bed all day
Nothing heals me like you do
And when somebody knows you well
Well, there's no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well, there's no drug like that
And when I'm home, curled in your arms
And I'm safe again
I'll close my eyes and sleep
to the sound of London Rain
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do
Wanna cry for you
Would it do any good?
If I rained for you
It would just be water
And the night's with you
And the storm's in your hand
And you're down and you're down
And I can't lift you
I'm powerless to change your world
I'm powerless to stop the hurt
I'll give you my heart, give you my shoulder
Give you my heart, give you my shoulder
Wanna run for you
Would it do any good?
If I flew for you
You would still be standing
And it's hard watching
'Cause I'm part of you
And it's hard not to
Not to know what I can do
I'm powerless to change your world
I'm powerless to stop the hurt
I'm trying hard to be your tower of strength
I'm trying hard to bring you back to joy
When tht night just cuts you through
And the dream is lost to you
When you're worried and confused
I will give you my heart, give you my shoulder
Now's the time when this will turn to fruit
All the poppies gonna push up through
And I can see the ground below
The places that I know, disappearing
And I can see the winter fade
I don't feel so afraid it's clearing
What a feeling, what a feeling
What a feeling
Life is only half way in our hands
Years have passed while I was making plans
And I could never find the words
I always felt absurd, and on the outside
But now I know I shouldn't care
There's a song already there
Waiting inside
And I can feel the clock unwind
The parts of me I tied are running
And all the birds are in my head
The laughter that was dead
is coming
What a feeling, what a feeling
The laughter that was dead is coming
I've got a memory a thousand years old
And I know secrets I've never been told
And I've got jewels I haven't found
And they'll return me to the ground
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
And I'm a siren; I'll wreck you on my shores
And I'm Godiva; I'll call you back for more
And I'm Medusa; and I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a Georgia O'Keefe
Hanging on your wall
I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before
And I remember being born just
Sound and light and sound and light
And I remember the first time,
skin on skin in the arms of the night
Well how many times have we looked
Up into the starry skies, and how many times
have we felt the passion rise
Every ruby-lipped girl baby, old lady, squaw junkie
girl after girl after girl, every muse, whore, good witch,
princess, back arching, year after year after year
I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before
Your hands were covered in paint
The pillow smothered my cry
You were half charmer half snake
I lived in dreamtime
But I'm alive, I survived you
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
Some nights I'd sleep in the car
Just to escape you
You drove devotion too far
No-one could save you
I still have visions of you
I still have nights to get through
And when the trust isn't true
I have these visions of you
But I'm alive, I survived you
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
There's nothing more to say
Ride on and fade away
There's nothing more to say
Lately I've been sinking down
Thinking I'm the only one
Drifting in and out of blue
But destiny's a state of mind
And today I'm doing fine
Just rolling throught the afternoon with you
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
I will be your misfit queen
I'll take you where the grass is green
Past the littered sidewalk to the sun
I hear the traffic move outside
Yeah, but if I close my eyes
I can make it sound like waves rolling on
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
And if we lie still, can you feel the room
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?
Can you la la la lie
I lie in a field, in the trailor-park of my dreams
Saving up for someday
But what does someday mean?
And I'm young but I let it slip by
I'm co-dependant and I'm lost inside
And you, you look like freedom
You look like the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
And there's a road, leads away from here
And every day I stand in place and watch it disapear
And there's a bird, circles in my mind
Security's the whore in me that never lets me fly
And you, you look like freedom
You look like change
You look like the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
With your sunburned soul
And your hunger for the road
I'm snowblind and crying after
Like nothing matters
When you go down take me
When you go down, yeah, make me
I got a hunger you could feed
And I know it's a fine line divides
The place I'm looking for and what's inside
And I know it's a long, long way
Throught the outskirts of everyday
And you, you look like freedom
You look like change
You look like the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
Avalanche
You're the one I think about time after time
You're the one who comes to me, visions in the night
I want to complicate your feelings
I want to heat you up inside
Yeah, I wanta make you mine
I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Gonna make my bed beside you
in the bluebells of your soul
Gonna slip into your river, linger in your shoals
And when the stars are bright like fireflies
And the night is black as coal
I'm gonna make you mine
I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
make you mine, make you mine
I've got a ruby red desire
Like a virus like my last hope
I've got a ruby red desire
I've got to hear the red bird sing
I've got to rip this cord
And rinse this lazy blood
Clear a path and walk away
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been thinkin I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the saftey net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
And every memory's a dream
And every uncertainty reminds me why
I saw a kid outside playing by a moonogate
making paper things that fly
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been thinkin I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the saftey net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
Morning is almost here-let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I don't think I could breathe now with you gone
But it's not weakness, it's just something I've begun
Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human
When you're sleeping you're ceramic
You're surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours
Change the street, change the decade
Still the longing's left inside
But why am I too small to carry you?
Why does twilight make me cry?
Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
We're not only human
Life is something set to music
I can hear it when I'm sad
There's a chord in every muscle
every kiss you ever had
There's a power when you're near me
In our heads or in our bones
I know nothing but I'm guessing
When we die we're not alone
