New Friend lyrics - aqualung

I got a new friend
He's waving 'Hello'
See he comes like a snail, like a comet tail then he goes

Say 'Hello' to my new friend
From my head to my toes
Oh my, he's filling me up with all these things he knows

Can you hear him singing along?
Do you hear him singing along?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?

In love with my new friend
Ah, he's good to the eye
So fine
Just a little glint and you will be blind

Say goodbye to your old friends
They're just a week or so old
They wave ....

Can you hear him singing along?
Do you hear him singing along?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?
Can you hear him singing along?
Are you picking out the words of his song?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?

He wants to sing it
to sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it and
sing it forever more!

He wants to sing it
to sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it
to sing it again!
He wants to sing it and
sing it and
sing it forever more!

Can you hear him singing along?
Can you hear him singing along?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's sing?

Can you hear him singing along?
Are you thinking of the words of his song?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?
Can you hear
Can you hear what he's saying?

I love to sing

I got a new friend
He's waving 'Hello'
See he comes like a snail, like a comet tail then he goes

Reel Me In lyrics - aqualung

Don't listen to the TV
Don't listen to the radio
Don't let anybody tell you
That this old ship is going down

Black bottom of the ocean
Picked up by an invisible hand
Have a feeling down my insides
And now, the sea, the stars, the sky
The sea, the sea, the sea

Washed over to the waterfall
I got swallowed by the undertow
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So honey if you're listening
Press your lip to the overflow
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS
I'm drowning, reel me in

Fly back into the lifeboat
Where did the women and the children go
Are these men my only friends
And we love, we love, we cry, we cry

Out of the boats into the crowds and oohooo,
Out of the crowds into the sleepy room
Pull the covers up to my chin
And we fall, our eyes, we rise, I fall
We leave it all behind

Washed over to the waterfall
I got swallowed by the undertow
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So if there's anybody listening
Press your lip to the radio
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS
I'm drowning, reel me in, reel me in

Walk back along the gangway
Back to the arms of the ones I love
Guess you guys keep your secrets
Hello, hello, hello

Washed over to the waterfall
I got swallowed by the undertow
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So if there's anybody listening
Press your lip to the radio
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS

Washed over to the waterfall, oooohoooo
I twist, I turn, but I know there's only one way out of this
So if there's anybody listening
Press your lip to the radio
Cause I'm just down here praying someone hears my SOS
I'm drowning, reel me in, reel me in

Don't listen to the TV
Don't listen to the radio

Sundowning lyrics - aqualung

I found the missing
Puzzle piece but
I don't know, I don't know where to begin.
Do I have what
What you need to
Put it all back together again?

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out.
These shadows slowly climbing up the walls.
Maybe we are
Sundowning.
Maybe we're just
Sundowning.

We torched another
Golden morning.
You only get, only get back what you can give.
Oh, perhaps we need a
Little time
Little time to remember how to live, oh.

With the rising of the moon
The dying of the afternoon
The evening takes us with it as it falls.

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out.
These shadows slowly climbing up the walls.
Maybe we are
Sundowning.
Maybe we're just
Sundowning.
Maybe we are
Sundowning.
Not waving and not drowning.
Just sundowning.

As daylight drifts away
And everything starts to fade
And all our colors turn to black and white.

The heart don't make a sound.
Feet don't you touch the ground.
Could this be just a tricking of the light?

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out.
But maybe I could wait another night.

Cause maybe we're just
Sundowning.
Baby we are
Sundowning.
Darling we are
Sundowning.
Not waving and not drowning.
Just sundowning.

Just sundowning.

36 Hours lyrics - aqualung

Maybe let the doll house burn
Maybe I can hit and run
Maybe love was flicking through a magazine
Goes away two moons agree?
Starting over is for free
Maybe now I learn to taste the air I breathe

Feel the earth begin to move
Underneath my buckle shoe
Maybe this is just exactly who I am
Taxi's crawling up the hill
Take me where the world stands still
Away from where the air is frozen in your hands

Oh, 36 hours away
36 hours away
In the moonlight
36 hours away
36 hours away
and it's over

In the middle going south
Dirty hands and empty mouth
I am indicating left and pulling out
Turn the map the other way
Through the hope and misery
And tilt the wheel towards the white lights up ahead

Oh 36 hours away
36 hours away
in the moonlight
36 hours away
36 hours away
and it's over

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Lalalala
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Lalalala

Oh 36 hours away
36 hours away
36 hours away
Oh 36 hours away
36 hours away
and it's over
and it's over

Fingertip lyrics - aqualung

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo do doo [4x]

I wanna knock knock down your door
Wanna steal your bicycle
Wanna rock your rocking horse
Wonder what's the time now, Mr. Wolf

Dancing in the street
With my suit and my big white teeth
And my shirt and my big white shoes
And almost nothing left to lose

In a minute, I mean it, you lose your grip
'Cause you're hanging, by a fingertip
I'm gonna huff you and puff you and shake your tree
Gonna make you, fall in love with me

Oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh

This is the beat beat beat of my heart
It overheats every time we're apart
With the sweat dripping off my chin
Honey you don't know the shape I'm in

Oh, struck down in the street
Staring up ,up at the swings of your feet
Nobody knows the way that it is
Come on baby, baby please

A minute, you lose your grip
'Cause you're hanging, by a fingertip
And I've been waiting, impatient, down underneath,
Just to catch you, when you fall for me

I want to eat with you, sleep with you,
kiss you and listen to you
Get you what you want, give you what you need
I want to sing to and cling to
and wait and see
Gonna make you fall in love with me

'Cause they don't know
They don't know
In a minute, a minute, you'll fall for me
In a minute, any minute, wait and see
In a minute, I mean it, you'll fall for me
In a minute, any minute, oh wait and see

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo do doo [2x]

'Cause I've been waiting, impatient, down underneath,

just to catch you when you fall for me
And in a minute, I mean it, you lose your grip
'Cause you're only hanging on by a fingertip
I'm gonna huff you and puff you and shake your tree
Gonna make you, fall in love with me
Gonna make you, fall in love with me
Gonna make you make you fall in love with me

Lost lyrics - aqualung

Daylight comes in the nick of time
Shines some light into the darkest corners of her mind
All the world is, all the world is weighing down on you

Piece by piece, it all falls away
All this beauty, all this magic 'til there's nothing there
If only love was enough, I could reach you, I would reach you

I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me
It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home

Oh, I've been missing you, you got lost along the way
Oh maybe you aren't lost; it's still in you some way
If only love was enough, I could reach you, I would reach you

I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me
It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home

Seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home

If only love was enough, I would reach you, I could reach you

Time Moves Slow lyrics - aqualung

Leaving on time
Gone to look for a place to stand
And watch the world pass by

Living on a smile
There's nothing you need to explain
Where no one knows your name
And that suits me fine

Once I was young, I was stupid
And sure of myself
The truth is the word that
Gets harder and harder to spell

Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up
And all will be well
But time moves slow

Tonight

Sleeping lay my body down
Dream a dream where everything
You lost can still be found

Escaping laying my body down
All the weight of my skin it goes
At the great unknown
It's all uneven now

Once I was hot, I was hungry
I knew I was right
It's easy to do if you're wearing
Your wounds thrown inside out

??
Stretching out back
But time moves slow

Tonight

I'm leaving for a world
Gone to look for a place to stand
And watch the pass go by

Remember, remember, you told me
You'd be always be mine
We run, we run, we run, we run
We run, we run, we run, we run

Tomorrow wake up ??
Make up my mind
But time moves slow

Tonight

California lyrics - aqualung

Come with me to California
We'll lose our troubles in the sun
Let's fly away

Let's make our grand escape before we come undone
You know I've always been a dreamer
How you laugh at all my silly silly dreams
Let's fly away
Let's make our big mistake before we come undone
Before we come undone, yeah
Oh, come with me to California
Before we come undone

Come with me to California
We'll lose our troubles in the sun
Let's fly away

Remember Us lyrics - aqualung

Baby don't talk,
Don't say anything.
No need,
To say anything.

Cos lately when we talk,
We just spin it around,
So tonight, why don't we just set it down?
Let our shadows show us what to do.
What to be.
And in the hush,
Remember us.
Skin across my skin.
Do you feel it now?
Darlingm do you know me now?
In this remembering.

Remembering how we used to be.
Oh my - how we're supposed to be.
And when, as one, we come undone.
Then we find, as our souls unwind,
they intertwine.
And we find, that in the hush,
We remember us.

Thin Air lyrics - aqualung

You know that I'm in love with you
You know I always will be
I'm haunted by the same dream
Haunted by the melody

Feels like a raincloud passing over
Looking for a place to stay
Eyes making rainbows as the rain goes down

You know what I think we should do
Take a train down to the sea
Desperate times, desperate measures
Wind rushing over me

Feels like the evening coming closer
Drumming like the shore around you
It's a beautiful sunset
Still the sun goes down, down

Tell me that you'll love me forever
Going on another world
With our hands are only tied together
Out into the new world

And you're standing on the edge of something
Tell me I was right to care
Well you know that I'm in love with you
Stepping out into the thin air

I believe in you [x6]

Oh, lay me down and love with you
Cause you know I always be
Oh

Feels like the evening's coming closer
Drumming like the shore around you
It's a beautiful sunset
Still the sun goes down, down

Tell me that you'll love me forever
Going on another world
With our hands only tied together
Out into the new world

And you're standing on the edge of nothing
Tell me I was right to care
Well you know that I'm in love with you
Yeah you know that I'm in love with you [x2]
Stepping out into the thin air

I believe I can [x6]
I believe I can [x6]

Magnetic North lyrics - aqualung

You're my, you're my underscore.
My kite in a thunderstorm.
When you're cold, I will keep you warm.

You're my, you're my auto-chord
Anagram of a dirty word.
The best joke I ever heard
The best joke I ever will.

You're my compass my magnetic north,
You keep this old ship on course.
Without you we would all be lost
So I'm begging you, to stay true.

When I write, you're the perfect verse.
I'll send it out through the universe.
Steal a star, just for the two of us.

See all, all the things we've made.
Ticket tape and the motorcade.
Dip a toe into our middle age
Dip a toe and in we'll go

You're my compass my magnetic north,
You keep this old ship on course.
Without you we would all be lost
So I'm begging you...

My compass my magnetic north,
You keep this old ship on course.
Without you we would all be lost
So I'm begging you...

to stay true.

7 Keys lyrics - aqualung

It wasn't open but somehow you let yourself in
Closed off and broken, I never wanted to go there again
I wasn't waiting but you came at just the right time
Maybe I'm wasted, I never knew I could feel so alive

Darling believe you're closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't leave me alone, I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my soul

I feel so connected like I've known you all along
I never expected to fall into loving so deep
So deep and so strong

Darling believe you're closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't leave me alone, I'm yours for eternity
You hold the 7 keys to my soul

Closer than anyone, this is where we belong [x4]

Darling believe you're closer than anyone has ever been
So baby don't go, I'm yours for eternity
You, you, you, you
7 keys to my soul
7 keys to my soul
You hold the 7 keys to my soul

Slip-Sliding Away lyrics - aqualung

Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

And I know a man, he came from my home town
He wore this bad shirt for his woman like a thorny crown
He said, "Dolores, I live in fear"
"My love for you is so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear"

He's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

And I know a woman, became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She says, "A good day ain't got not rain"
She said, "A bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might've been"

She's slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away
You're slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

Mmhmmm
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping and he turned around and headed home again

He's slip-sliding, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away
Slip-sliding away, slip-sliding away
You know the nearer the destination the more you're slip-sliding away

Can't Get You Out Of My Mind lyrics - aqualung

A kiss is not just a kiss
A smile is more than a smile
Maybe we get together, maybe forever
Maybe just for a while

I've seen the look in your eyes
I've seen you wondering why
There's a center of graviy
Bring you near to me
Nearer all the time

And I'm petrified, I'm hypnotised
Every time you walk by
And I can't get you out of my

Thought you'd never be mine
I thought I was wasting my time
Darling every I think of you
I can't believe it's true
That you're here by my side

And I'm petrified, I'm hypnotised
Every time you walk by
And I'm petrified, I'm hypnotised
Every time you walk by
And I can't get you out of my mind

I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind

Good Goodnight lyrics - aqualung

You talk in your sleep, I hear you say beautiful things
I love you I do, you know that I do
The world is awake but you don't hear
A sound that it makes, asleep in dreams so deep

Peace in your heart, peace in your soul
Peace in your head, good goodnight

You're far from me now but you'd be here
In the blink of an eye if I spoke your name
The morning will come for you and I
Life will go on, we'll keep at least for now till then

Peace in your heart, peace in your soul
Peace in your head, good goodnight
Peace in your head, good goodnight

You talk in your sleep
You talk in your sleep

Mr. Universe lyrics - aqualung

Lead me or follow
Feed me or swallow
If this ain't the real thing I don't want the real thing
Ignore me, I sit here, I know where I fit here
You don't give a shit dear but really I do

Oh take me with you, I'd crawl through coal to kiss you
Just give me that sign and then I'll be

I used to be so tired a bit like I had expired
But woman you saved me, you came and enslaved me
Now I know exactly what to do, I know exactly where to go
This is just how I dreamt it might turn out to be

Come on disrespect me cause I know that you'll protect me
Just give me that sign and then I'll be here, yeah

Baby when I'm with you nothing seems to matter
Baby when I'm with you nothing seems to matter
Nothing seems to matter

Stars spinning round me, how will they ever find me
Everything seems so long ago
There's no need to worry cause we don't need anybody
Just give me that sign and then I'll be here, yeah

Baby when I'm with you nothing seems to matter [x5]
Nothing seems to matter

On My Knees lyrics - aqualung

All I want is to go back to the beginning
And try to make it new
But it is so hard to find a way to be forgiven
Find the right way back to you

Babe, no don't leave me like this
I must have been crazy girl, to do what I did

Don't you hear me calling, I'm on my knees
Don't you feel me falling at your feet
All alone in the darkness holding my heart
Singing please, please hear me calling now

In my heart you'll find a piece of me is missing
And there's nothing I can do
And look in my eyes you'll see I'm barely even living
That's what's living without you

I've got to tell you baby
I, I've got so much to say
It cuts me to pieces how you turn me away

Don't you hear me calling, I'm on my knees
Don't you feel me falling at your feet
All alone in the darkness holding my heart
Singing please, please ohhh

Babe, we've got so much to say
It cuts me to pieces how you push me away

Don't you hear me calling, I'm on my knees
Don't you feel me falling at your feet
All alone in the darkness holding my heart
Singing please, please

Don't you feel me falling at your feet
All alone in the darkness holding my heart
Singing please, hear me calling now

Oh baby don't leave me now
I'm calling now I'm on my knees
Hear me calling now I'm on my knees
Don't you hear me now I'm on my knees
Hear me calling now I'm on my knees
Don't you hear me now I'm on my knees
Keep me calling now I'm on my knees
Hear me calling now I'm on my knees
Hear me calling, hear me calling now

When I Finally Get My Own Place lyrics - aqualung

When I finally get my own place
The walls will be white
When I finally get my own place
I will stay up every night and it will be quiet
When I finally get my own place
I'll sit on the stairs
When I finally get my own place
It will have windows that will weep
A garden I will weed, and fish I won't feed

You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You just knock on my door
When I
When I

When I finally get my own place
I'll fly into a rage and lock myself out
And after hours of whispering through the keyhole
I will let myself back into your arms

You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You don't need to be sure
You just knock on my door

Will you love me?
And you'll hold me
And you'll open up to let me in
But I will leave you in the end, I will leave you in the end

When I finally get my own place
However low I go, I won't say a word
Let the floor come up to meet me
Walls collapse to keep me
It's the only way

You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You just knock on my door
You don't need to be sure

When I
When I

Nothing Else Matters lyrics - aqualung

If the chute doesn't open
If this plan doesn't work
Going down, down, down, down, down
Kinda great to know as I take that step
This is my one last chance

And everything shatters
Everything's falling apart
I'm hanging in tatters
Barely a beat in my heart
And nothing else matters
No

If the man is the sum
Of all that he's done
Then I'm nothing much today
And if it's true what they say
And you are what you eat
Then I'm nothing much today

And everything shatters
Everything's falling apart
I'm hanging in tatters
Barely a beat in my heart
And nothing else matters
No

Nothing else matters
Nothing else
Nothing else matters
No

Going down, down, down
Going down, down, down
Going down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down
Going down, down, down
Going down, down, down

Arrivals lyrics - aqualung

It has started, can't be stopped
Call the ferryman to cast me off
Send me, send me over the ocean
I'll find you

Not the radio, not today
There is nothing left
You can say
Just carry, carry me over the ocean to find you

Close your eyes baby
Close your eyes sunshine
Wait for one more sunrise
Then I'm home, I'm home

Feel the rumbling through the chair
Feel the future hanging in the air
Fly me, fly me over the ocean
I'll see you

And we're hurrying
And we wait, now we're tumbling
To the gate
Send me clearly over the ocean
To find you

Close your eyes

Close your eyes baby
Close your eyes sunshine
Just this one last sunrise
And I'm home, I'm home

Everything Changed lyrics - aqualung

Magic drifted through the air touching everybody there
You came into my life so small altering everything
Changed

(one plus one)
I looked into my crystal ball
(two then three)
The future wasn't clear at all
(three then four)
And yesterday was hard enough
(distant dream)
At the top of this precipice

Magic settled on the floor and there she lived forever more
Turning minutes into hours and days, stumbling, tumbling

Nothing can be the same as it was, I know, I know
Nothing can be the same as it was, I know, I know

You came into my life so small altering everything
Changed

Cinderella lyrics - aqualung

I'm on a roll
Everything I touch turns to shh..
It's taking it's toll
Can anybody get me off it?
Stuck on a roll
And it's wearing thin

I remember the night
No wet eyes, no crossroads
No mention of fate
Just a poor decision

I shouldn't have gone
Even though my head would bust
I shoudn't have gone

[Chorus]
Be careful what you hope and you pray for
You know you only get what you pay for

And I can hear the ticking of timebombs
For poor Cinderella

I'm on a roll
Everything I touch turns to gold
It's taking its toll
Can anybody get me off it?

I shouldn't have gone
Even though my head was busting
I shouldn't have gone

[Chorus]
Be careful what you hope and you pray for
You know you only get what you pay for
And I can hear the ticking of timebombs
The clock strikes
It's midnight
For poor Cinderella

Pressure Suit lyrics - aqualung

Well two spinning spheres,
Two spinning spheres in a bed of stars
Silence is super
Staring into space, I wonder where you are

You're all that I've ever needed
I know that you won't feel it

Drift out into darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright
It's alright
I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright
It's alright

Violently clear the upper atmosphere
Raging out your heart
Somewhere far beneath
Your pointed tongue and teeth
Is where you really are

Don't want to be forgiven
But drag you down from where you are

Drift out in the darkness
Lost out on horizon
It's alright
It's alright
I'll be your respirator
I'll be your parachute
It's alright
It's alright

Oooohhhh oh
Mmmm, ohhhh oh

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, It's alright

I will not let you go...ohh

Two spinning spheres, they spin together
I'm gon' spin alone
I don't know how I can do this
I don't know how to get through
It's alright, It's alright
I can't stop loving you [10x]

It's alright, It's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit
It's alright, It's alright
I'll be your four leaf clover
I'll be your pressure suit
I'll be your angel wings
I'll be your parachute
I'll be your running reason
I'll be your only reason
Ohhhh, ohhhhhh
I can't stop loving you [4x]
It's alright, It's alright

I'll be your respirator
I'll be your pressure suit

Something To Believe In lyrics - aqualung

You talk too much.
Maybe that's your way
Of breaking up the silence
That fills you up.
But it doesn't sound the same
When no one's really listening

We stumble into our lives:
Reach for a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Just scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

You have too much.
You're spending all your time
Collecting and discovering
It's not enough.
And no matter how you try,
You never find the one you want.

We stumble into our lives:
Without a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Still scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

("mumbling" ??)

C'mon, c'mon [repeats til end]

Glimmer lyrics - aqualung

I know that I was lost
And I know that it was too too hard
And although it isn't much
I give you all I have.

There's a mirror in the old place
A place where we would stand
And wonder at our sweet sweet selves
Smiling hand in hand
This wasn't what we planned.

[Chorus]
Though the night has fallen
I close my eyes and imagine
A tiny glimmer flickering on the horizon.

It takes time to get it right
Takes no time to get it wrong.
I can't believe I didn't see
The ground was caving in

Oh, can we just start again?

[Chorus]

Everyday, everyday
Living my life like it's over
Like it's over and deep underground.

Little look, little smile
Flick the switch and it's over
Like it's lost and can never be found.

But maybe there's a tiny glow
That won't die and won't leave us. A lone
Star shining. The sun is rising.

There's a tiny glimmer flickering on the horizon.
Can you see it? Can you see it there?
Can you see it? Can you see it there's
A tiny glimmer flickering on the horizon.

Vapour Trail lyrics - aqualung

I was feeling nothing,
Forever never took so long
One day, then another
then another on and on.

All my life,
All my love is there
Wish that love,
Love was all it took to get me home.

Strung out on a line.
Watch the credit counting down.
Running out of chances
Oh, I'm running out of time.

All my life,
All my love is there
Wish that love,
Love was all it took to get me home.

[Chorus:]
All I needs a moments grace,
So I just got to see your face,
That's all.
Pull my head between my knees,
The earth might crack,
The sky might freeze,
That's all,
I'm asking for.

Just let me go

One way,
Or the other,
I will feel your touch again.
I got disconnected
But I still heard everything.

All my life,
All my love is there
Wish that love,
Love was all it took to get me home.
Get me home.

[Chorus:]

Who was I to take the risk,
And watch my hand become two fists,
That's all I'm asking for
That's all I'm asking for.

I was in the garden
Wishing on a vapor trail.
Pull your arms around me
Oh you make me happy
Oh, just let me go
Just let me go.

[Chorus:]

Who was I to take the risk,
And watch two hands become two fists,
That's all
I'm asking for
That's all, I'm asking for.
Just let me go.
Just let me go.
Put your arms around me

Rolls So Deep lyrics - aqualung

I'm gonna teach myself to drive
Down the road on the other side.
I'm gonna set myself alive
To put some fire in my soul.

Could've told you a million lies
Given everything to compromise
But you could run for a million miles
And still have nowhere to go.

[Chorus]
It's like lightning in a clear blue sky.
There's a storm but you keep it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls...it rolls
It rolls so deep.

You're gonna have to wait awhile.
Tune it in on another dial
Cause every time that you make me smile
Blood bursts out of a stone.

And if I have to be myself again
Drown our tears in the pouring rain
It's the end of the holiday
And you don't wanna go home.

[Chorus]
It's like lightning in a clear blue sky.
There's a storm but you keep it inside

It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls...it rolls
It rolls so deep. Yeah!
It rolls...it rolls so deep.

I wanna feel it everyday
I wanna feel it everyday everyday
Oohh

It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls
It's like lightning in a clear blue sky
There's a storm but you keep it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls so deep, yeah.
It rolls...it rolls so deep, yeah.
It rolls...it rolls so deep.

La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la, yeah.
Yeah
Oooh, ooh, ooh ooh ohh

It's like lighting in a clear blue sky
There's a storm but you keep it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes

The Lake lyrics - aqualung

This house is full of secrets.
This house smells of ghosts.
Dreams that never woke,
Dreams that never woke.
Nightmares never spoke of.

Outside the water's black,
This one we won't throw back.
A lifetime is too long,
A lifetime is too long
Let's say no more about it.

Listen to me,
I can only say this once.
Are you listening?
See these empty hands,
Know that it was all for you.
Til see you again,
Down by the lake.

Sleeping beauty stirs,
The whole world could be hers.
But after all these years,
After all these years
I'll say no more about it.

Listen to me,
I can only say this once.
Are you listening?
See these empty hands,
Know that it was all for you,
Til I see you again..
Yes, I'll see you again..
When I see you again,
Down by the lake..

This house smells of ghosts.

Black Hole lyrics - aqualung

Sooner or later this will fall apart
It takes more than science to save a failing heart
I wanted to keep you and hide you from the sun
but no one could reach you

You say I'm a black hole
Sigularity
My own supernova
A blazing blind catastrophe
And for once I was a star
A long time before that
Somebody's sun

But enough of these pointless noises
Enough of just counting down
This is not a test
If love is not the answer
then maybe I misunderstood Oh the question
Oh there must be someway out of this

We stand in a circle

hand in hand in hand
There's talk of a comet
Over moon and land
The sand has run out of the glass
We stand in a circle
We stand in a line

But enough of these pointless noises
Enough of just counting down
This is not a test
If hope is not the answer then maybe I misunderstood Oh the question
Because there must be someway
I want it so so..
There's always someway

Well enough of these final nothings
There's no time to reconsider
So love was not the answer but maybe I misunderstood the question
Because it must be somewhere
I read it somewhere
There's always someway

Outside lyrics - aqualung

He wants to give but he'll give himself away
She wants to take but she's taking all she can
They've got it all figured out
He wants to listen but there so much more to say
She wants to shout it out loud but she doesn't
She doesn't open her mouth

Had enough of crying
When she's happy and smiling when she sad
Had enough of wondering
What became of all the dreams he had
Are they out there somewhere

Baby don't you stay there on the inside
Together we can make it on the outside
You and me on the outside

Can you remember the way it used to feel
We'd run as fast and as far as we wanted to go
But then the walls closed in
And I was one step forward and two steps back
Two steps forward and three steps back

Oh it's all too much
So take my hand we'll jump together

Baby I won't leave you on the inside
Together we can make it on the outside
You and me on the outside
You and me on the outside
On the outside

Shine your light on me and I'll shine my light on you
Shine my light on you if you shine your light on me
Shine your light on me and I'll shine my light on you
On the outside
On the outside
On the outside

Baby I won't leave you on the inside
Together we can make it on the outside
You and me on the outside
You and me on the out (yeah)
You and me on the outside

Garden Of Love lyrics - aqualung

In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet.

In the garden of love I saw
Starlight sigh and shadow move.

Faltering, no faltering
Faltering

[Chorus]
Before you go, a few words for your heart
Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart
As you go

In our garden of love we grew
Roses so red our hearts were busted open
All feeding on the dream we made
The bright and beautiful parade
That bloom by bloom began to fade
And blow by blow, oh

[Chorus]
Before you go, a few words for your heart
Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart
As you go

How we tried to make everything right
How we fought and we talked through the night
How we nearly
Made it.

In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet.

Stepping out into the light
Other side of the window
Blinking and blind in the light
Other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now
Other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now
That journey is over
Over
Over

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing

So we pushed and we pulled with our nerves of steel
You had the pedals and I had the wheel
And the terrible truth
Is we never knew where we were going

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing

Broken Bones lyrics - aqualung

Picking up broken words
Snipping the tips off
Grinding down the long ones
That wind around your eardrums

Dangerous plastic words
For crowd dispersal
And dumb dumb words
That could blow your head off

[Chorus]
This is a story 'bout the three of us
Down by the water and the tide is rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you, oh
I just need a little more time with you

One fine day you'll sing
Your inevitable love song
Inevitable lie song

Inevitable cry song

Time bends broken bones
Time bends broken bones
'Til they wrap around your throat
And snap around your fingers

[Chorus]
This is a story 'bout the three of us
Down by the water and the tide is rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you, oh

Down by the water and the tide keeps rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you
Oh, I just need a little more time with you
Oh please, just a little more time with you

"Strange And Beautiful" (2005)

Strange & Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You) lyrics - aqualung

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart, unseen.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see, lyric's top
And you'll realise that you love me.

Yeah...
Yeah...

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep,
I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep 'cos I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me, yeah...

Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...

Falling Out Of Love lyrics - aqualung

I watch the sun
See it rise and fall
Waiting for something to change
I get through the day
Hope to turn things around
Seems like

I'm falling out of love

Feeling alone
With you by my side
Further and further away
Funny how long
A moment can seem
When you're trying to hold on
Feels like

I'm falling out of love

Good Times Gonna Come lyrics - aqualung

Need to know
If you're letting go
It's alright,alright, it's alright
Didn't know
I was hurting you so
It's alright, alright, it's alright.

You came to me from nowhere
With nothing
And no-one
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Goes to show
You never really know
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

This is just one of those
Lonely night
The good times gonna come

See me then
Investing so much
In you, in you, in you
Came so close
To the edge
I do, I do, I do

This is just one of those
Lonely night
The good times gonna come

In the end
We let it go away
We let it float away
On the breeze

'Round the bend
The sun is in the sky
It's starting to look like
It's gonna be, yeah, it's gonna be
A bright
Beautiful day
Yeah, the good times gonna come, oh no
The good times gonna come, yeah, yeah,

This is just one of those
Lonely night
The good times gonna come, oh,
The good times gonna come, oh yeah
The good times gonna come, ohh
The good times gonna come, yeah.
Need to know if you're letting go
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Brighter Than Sunshine lyrics - aqualung

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn't have the strength to fight
Suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

I got a feeling in my soul ... [repeat chorus to end]

Breaking My Heart lyrics - aqualung

Need to know
I don't wanna know
Already know
I've seen the signs
I watch you as you pull yourself away from me

Can't believe
I wanna believe
How can i believe
You're making me doubt
I thought i knew you
I don't even know myself

I'm losing faith
I'm losing all faith

You're breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart again
Don't ask me to start
Ask me start
Don't ask me to start again
Start again

I wanna fight
Afraid to fight
Why don't i fight
And make you see
I hold my breath
And disappear inside myself

I'm losing strength, i'm losing all strength

You're breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart again
Don't ask me to start
Ask me to start
Just don't ask me to start again
Start again

Oh you're breaking my heart again

Don't ask me to start
Ask me to start
Just don't ask me to start again
Start again

No

Oh no no

I'm losing you
I'm losing, oh, you

Tongue-Tied lyrics - aqualung

I'm tongue tied
Waiting
Hoping
And praying
Lying
Beside you
Longing
To touch you

But this feels like the end

So tired
We are
Drifting
Too far
Eyes closed
Tightly
Thinking
There might be
Some way

But this feels like the end

What went wrong
I need to know
I can feel
You're letting go
Though there is
So much to say
I'm tongue tied
Tongue tied
Waiting

I'm tongue tied
Waiting
Hoping
And praying
So near
Yet so far
Alone
Together

Still this feels like the end
Still this feels like the end
Still this feelslike the end
Feels like the end

Left Behind lyrics - aqualung

Open the curtain,
Let some light in,
I feel so grey,
The world got smashed to pieces,
And put back together
The wrong way.

Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.

Open the window,
Let some air in,
I feel so old
There - Where we were happy,
Long ago
Yesterday

Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.

You open your mouth and I know
What you're going to say.

Open the window,
Let some air in,
I feel so grey.

Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.

You open your mouth and I know
What you're going to say

You Turn Me Round lyrics - aqualung

The end it was the end the sirens were pulling him down
And his heart was cold so very cold you believe it might never have beat

When the sun sets around me my daydreams confound me
And the long nights surrounds me
You turn me around
You turn me around

And you she was there too drownig and wanting it over
And her hope was all lost
All hope was lost given up and never again

But watch as fingertips touch and the life floods in
And they swim to the sun

And the long night surrounds me
You turn me around

I won't let you down won't let you down
I won't let you down you turn me around

If I Fall lyrics - aqualung

Swept away
By the wonder of it all
So amazed
Never saw it coming
Left me dazed
And i don't know where to turn

Here and now
Seems i'm standing on the edge
Looking down
I can clearly see your face
In the crowd
Makes me feel i'm not alone

If i fall
Will you catch me

Seems to me
I'm exactly where i dreamt
I would be
And the view from here is
Something to see
But i need a hand to hold on to

If i fall
Will you catch me

Easier To Lie lyrics - aqualung

To bear the weight
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

And honestly
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

To be the one
to be the only one
something has to give a lot
something has to give a lot

And who am I
to give you what you need
when I'm learning
just learning
Learning how to live and

to bear the weight...
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

And honestly
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

To fill the space
the space you made for me
try to be the one you want
try to be the way you want

And maybe I
could be the one you need
if you'd only
show me
Show me how to live and

how to bear the weight
And push into the sky
it's easier to lie
easier to lie

And do what's right
when everything is wrong
it's easier to run
it's easier to

Never have
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

To bear the weight
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie

Extra Ordinary Thing lyrics - aqualung

Cheer up it might never happen, oh, it might never happen we we'll see
As i sit here spitting and churning, oh, its clear its happening right noe to me

Make it special for a loved for a stranger peace is hard to hard to come by extra ordinary thing

Why not believe in something somethings got to be better than nothing
Just because its the end of the beggining doesn't mean its the beginning of the end

Failing fractured borken busted all for nothing sing my heart out for a stranger
Extra ordinary thing song my heart out for a stranger extra ordinary thing

Another Little Hole lyrics - aqualung

No need to tell her she knows that there another little hole in her heart
Each day each dollar she knows it tears another little hole in her heart
'Cos she feels it happen no doubt that theres another little hole in her heart

The day is breaking and the time is taking the love were making
Away this life can only leave us lonely theres no tommorow
Just another little hole in her heart

No need to tell me i know that theres another little tear in my eye
I'm quite aware i see thats there another little tear in my eye
Do you ask yourself why shold we ask oursleves why

Away this life can only leave us lonely theres no tommorow
Just another little tear in my eye another little tear in my eye

I don't know i don't know i don't know i don't i don't know

Just another little hole in my heart another little hole in my heart

Don't know i don't know i don't know i don't i don't know
