Kiss me out of the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.

I have no confidence
And I can't see why I should
But I could do most anything for you
And you know I would
I try too hard and
Then I give up way too easily
I'm the run-around inside of you
And you're the winter inside of me
Lose your way and I will follow
Here today and here tomorrow
Let me free, don't I know
I'll never let you go
I still wish on an evening star
And I suppose I always will
Every child loses something
Her whole life can't fulfill
When you cry
I feel the sky burst open in my face
If lovin' you makes a slave of me
Then I'll spend my whole life in chains
(Chorus)
Walk the line, I'll walk inside you,
Change your mind, let your love decide you
It's the reason I know
You'll never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go.

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
 Feels like home to me, feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much
(Chorus)
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Everybody's tellin' all, bearing their souls,
Just to go on the Ricki Lake Show.. shoop-be-boop-boop why?
Yesterday I turned the TV on you were
Booed off stage singing your famous love song... why?
Tell me who makes the rules...
Chorus: Should have been born on the Milky Way
What have we brought to the world today?
Life's a bitch and then you die.
Should have been born on the Milky Way
Can't believe what I heard today
Life's a bitch and then you die.
I mean, why have I got the magazines sellin' me
Tellin' me lies on how I could be the perfect 10
Shoop-be-boop-boop why?
And my boyfriend left the other day
He's all messed up is he straight or is he gay
Shoop-be-boop-boop why?
So, tell me who makes the rules...
And if I fall... If I fall... Hold on...

You sit there in my shadows and you call it your relief
Don't be the one with bad eyes for the things that I could see
(Don't give me that)
The darkness has no armor need protection from the air
High hopes through time passing when I see I want you there
I can't believe you're the one for me
If it was this easy to find you
I should be ready for a fall
I should be ready for a fall
Now my wonders rally around the person I once was
Like a bird that I've been helping hope you're healed and strong
You never know when you might have to fly
Where will you go after me
Where will you go after I set you free
And I don't know you from a page in my book
Though I should though I should
Where will you go after me
Where will you go after I set you free
And I don't know you from a page in my book
Though I should

S t a y   Y o u
I love the way you speak and I love the way you swear
I love the way you walk in with your head held in the air
I love the way you words go over and I love the way you drive
I love the way you're scared of people, scared to be alive
Stay...Stay You
That's the toughest thing to do
I love the way you dress up on a Saturday night
I love the way you never speak until it feels just right
I love the way you're spendin all your money on yourself
I love the way you answer the phone and pretend you're someone else
Stay...Stay You
That's the toughest thing to do
Stay...Stay You
That's the toughest thing to do
Now I don't want to talk about the things you overcame
By dragging up the past that puts you through it all again
I've got the greatest admiration for the way that you got through it
Couldn't ask nobody else to do it better than you do it
Stay... stay You
That's the toughest thing to do
Stay... stay You
That's the toughest thing to do

Baby, look around see that I'm nowhere to be found
You wanna feel me near then close your eyes and I'll appear
And dream of all of me without tears
Anything it takes to wish me here
Oh, magic and sweet lullaby
Any lucky penny will do fine
Oh, wish me here
Your arms are open wide waiting for me to run inside
I'll meet you in the clouds please you, your power to bring heaven down
And when we're face to face
The world just fades away
So take me to the place
It's just you and I every single night
And dream of me without tears
Anything it takes to wish me here
Oh, magic and sweet lullaby
Any lucky penny will do fine
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sharing with us what he knows
Shining eyes are big and blue
And all around him water flows
This world to him is new, this world to him is new
He's born to shimmer, he's born to shine, he's born to radiate
He's born to live, he's born to love
But we'll teach him not to hate
And this thing they call our time
Heard a brilliant woman say
She said you know it's crazy
How I want to try to capture mine
I think I love this woman's way, I think I love this woman's
Way she shimmers, the way she shines, the way she radiates
The way she lives, the way she loves
The way she never hates
Sometimes I think of all of this that can surround me
I know it all as being mine
But she kisses me and wraps herself around me
She gives me love, she gives me time
And I feel fine, I feel fine
But time I cannot change
So here's to looking back
You know I drink a whole bottle of my pride
And I toast to change
To keep these demons off my back, just get these demons off my back
Cause I want to shimmer, I want to shine, I want to radiate
I want to live, I want to love
I want to try to learn not to hate
Try not to hate
We're born to shimmer, we're born to shine
We're born to radiate
We're born to live, we're born to love
We're born to never hate

I'm coming, 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, 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, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
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 Iike that
So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
And where l'm home, curled in your arms and I'm safe again
I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep to the sound of London Rain
So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do

Mind your manners, watch your weight
Be a good boy, just behave
What's wrong with you? Settle down.
Keep your two feet on the ground.
Stand up straight, sit up tall
Never falter, never fall
Stay in school, make the grade
Never fail and never fade
Be a hero, be a star
Anything but what you are
Find a girl to possess
Always pay, pursue, protect
Be a master, be a slave
Work your ass into an early grave
But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel
Daddy's favorite little girl
Dress up in your momma's pearls
Serve us breakfast in her bed
Heard a little kiss on the forehead
You are sugar, you are spice
You are growing up so nice
Paint your nails, paint your face
Paint around the empty space
Find a man that can provide
Try and fill the hole inside
With a family and a home
Tell yourself you're not alone
Keep your memories of yourself
In a shoebox on a closet shelf
But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
Time to heal
Time to feel

L e t t i n g   G o
Don't call me, don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that we needed
Some time and space to breathe
I still recall the words you said to me
It's what you did not say that sets me free
Now how can I find peace of mind when you keep coming back again?
It's okay for you to play this game of seesaw with my head
Now it hurts too much and it hits too hard
And I won't play this part
So now I say the things I want to say
Sometimes it's better letting go this way
I'll always know down in my soul
We really had so far to go
I've given all I had to give
And now it's time for me to live
And I won't look back, and I won't regret
Though hurts like hell someday I will forget
To say that you've been thinkin'
Cause I know it's just the drinkin'
It's funny how we seem to end up here
I never thought I'd see this soul disappear
And this is letting go
This is letting go, this is letting go
This is letting go
To say that you've been thinkin'
Cause I know it's just the drinkin'

C r y   O p h e l i a
Something went wrong
You're not laughing
It's not so easy now to get your smile
You gotta be strong
To walk these streets
And keep from falling
But when you're not, just let yourself cry
You've been working hard
Just trying to pay the rent
Tryin' to draw the line between who you are and who you invent
But if you throw a stone
Something's gonna shatter somewhere
We're all so fragile
We're all so scared
You say you wanna learn how to live your life without tears
But we've been trying to do that for thousands of years
So go on and cry Ophelia
It's the only thing to do sometimes
You know I'm crying too
Right there with you
It's alright Ophelia
Everybody cries
Thank god for my bad memory
I've forgotten some of the stupid things that I've done
I've come to a little wisdom through a whole lot of failure
So I watch more carefully what rolls off my tongue
You pray for rain
But you don't want it from a storm
You find a rose
And cut your finger on a thorn
So go on and cry Ophelia
It's the only thing to do sometimes
You know I'm crying too
Right there with you
It's alright Ophelia
Everybody cries Ophelia

Did you ever love somebody
So much that the earth moved?
Did you ever love somebody
Even though it hurt to?
Did you ever love somebody
Nothing else the heart could do?
Did you ever love somebody
Who never knew?
Did you ever lay your head down?
On the shoulder of a good friend?
And then have to look away somehow
Had to hide the way you felt for them?
Have you ever prayed the day would come
You'd hear them say they feel it too?
Did you ever love somebody
Who never knew?
And if you did,
Well, you know I'd understand
I could I would
More than anybody can
Did you ever love somebody
So much that the earth moves?
Did you ever love somebody
Even though it hurt to?
Did you ever love somebody
Nothing else your heart could do?
Did you ever love somebody
Like I love you?
Like I love you.
Like I love you.

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every I
She had two babies
One was six months one was three
In the war of '44
Every telephone ring
Every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh would her son grow to know his father
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right know
What will it be
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be sorry
He showed up all wet
On the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw
Lives inside him still
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years passed by and now
He has granddaughters
Oh so you look at me
From across the room
You're wearing your anguish again
Believe me, i know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
Oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life
All we have is the very moment
And I don't want to do what
His father and his father and his father did
I want to be here now
