Your Hideaway
The sun is setting in your quiet eyes
You take for granted what we've always seen inside
You run in circles
And you don't know how
You got to this place
But you sure do live there now
And I won't blame you if you fall
And I won't ask you to believe that life won't hurt at all
When the tears stream down your face
And you've given all your light away
I'd like to be the safest place
Your hideaway
The fear keeps coming back to you in waves
When you catch the wrong side of the same mistakes you've made
You're tuning out because it hurts too much to try
You're giving up before you've had your chance to fly
And I won't blame you if you fall
And I won’t ask you to believe that life won't hurt at all
But when the tears stream down your face
And you've given all your light away I'd liked to be the safest place
Your hideaway, Your hideaway
And here comes the rain
When you've given all your light away I'd like to be the safest place
I will close the doors and lock the gates
And give to you my safest place
Your hideaway

Satellite
CD: All That Echoes
Composers: Dave J. Matthews
Language: English
Satellite [English]
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, satellite
Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
Television we bounce round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling,
I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, satellite

Changing Colours
CD: All That Echoes
Composers: Tony Dekker
Language: English
Changing Colours [English]
You look at me with uncertainty
You look at me with urgency
You look at me with fear in your eyes
Like you're about to fall away
Don't be afraid to change your colours now
I've known you all summer and you rose above it all
I see you hesitate to fall now
But it's a pretty good view from down here too
When the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too
I knew you when you were green and small
Like a feather on a wing, so long
You know I will miss you when you are gone
But don't be afraid if you just can't hang on
'Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
When you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
When you let go, I will let go too
When the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colours, I change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too
The cold air is pushing hard on you
I know what you're saying, I can feel it too
You'll go through changes and I'll go through them too
Don't be afraid now, no don't be afraid, don't be afraid
'Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
When you change colours, I'll change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
When you let go, I will let go too

Language: English
I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever) [English]
Shattered dreams worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
The sights our eyes behold
Will open up our merging hearts
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share
And the joys of caring will not be replaced
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
The truths of love are planted firm
They won't be hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you
Will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever

Hollow Talk
CD: All That Echoes
Composers: Jannis Noya Makrigiannis & Anders Rhedin & Frederik Nordsoe
Language: English
Hollow Talk [English]
Echoes start as a cross in you,
Trembling noises that come too soon
Spatial movement which seems to you
Resonating your mask or feud
Hollow talking and hollow girl
Force it up from the root of pain
Never said it was good
Never said it was near
Shadow rises and you are here
And then you cut
You cut it out
And everything
Goes back to the beginning
Silence seizes a cluttered room
Light is shed not a breath too soon
Darkness rises in all you do
Standing and drawn across the room
Spatial movements and butterflies
Shadows scatter without a fire
There's never been bad
There has always been truth
Muted whisper of the things she'll move
And then you cut
You cut it out
And everything
Goes back to the beginning
There's never been bad
There has always been truth
Muted whisper of the things she'll move

Happy in My Heartache

Language: English
Happy In My Heartache [English]
Coffee's on the table and I
Just can't seem to wake up
This aching heart of mine
One more day without you and I'll be fine
You know I'm good for waiting but waiting's wasted time
Oh and I
I don't take it lightly
The trouble that I've gone through
To get you to know who I am
Oh and I
I can't find a reason
To be happy in this heartache
'Cause I should know better than that
I'm better than that
Wicked winds are blowing through the hall
Those old familiar faces are clinging to the walls
I know it's cold but I can't feel at all
And I know these walls are crumbling and I won't stay to watch them fall
Oh and I
I don't take it lightly
The trouble that I've gone through
To get you to know who I am
Oh and I
I can't find a reason
To be happy in my heartache
'Cause I should know better than that
But I can't stop loving you
And I don't know what to do to keep holding on
Oh and I
I don't take it lightly
The trouble that I've gone through
I've given you all that I am
Oh and I
I can't find a reason
To be happy in my heartache

The Moon's a Harsh Mistress
CD: All That Echoes
Composers: Jimmy Webb
Language: English
The Moon's a Harsh Mistress [English]
See her as she flies
Golden sails across the skies
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
And Lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

Big World
Please do not swallow us up
Please do not blind our eyes with ocean blue
A young girl
She's got time left to grow up
See the light of hope in her eyes
She gives to you
And now I know
Just what we're fighting for
How long to go
Until we ask for more
And we all might find ourselves
Living below the line
Still living below the line
One world
Strong as the beating of drums
Loud as the voice inside
Is more than enough
Fire
Under the burning red sun
Wake up the heartless sky
And show some love
And now I know
Just what we're fighting for
How long to go
Until we ask for more
And we all might find ourselves living below the line
Still living below the line
When I start to feel the night begin to fall
And in the silence hear the heart of it all
Sometimes it's hard to find a way to rise above
But then we find our strength in love
Just what we're fighting for
How long to go
Before we ask for more

She Moved Through the Fair [English]
My own love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
She went away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long
Till our wedding day
She went away from me
And she moved through the fair
And slowly I watched her
Move here and move there
She went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
I dreamed last night
That my own love came in
She came in so sweetly
Her feet made no din
She came close beside me
And this this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day

Falling Slowly [English]
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You make it now
Falling slowly,
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me
And erase me
And I'm painted black
Will you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
So take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now
So take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice

Language: English
False Alarms [English]
Far across the red horizon
I am walking down the line
I am picking up the pieces
That this storm has left behind
After all the clouds are fallen
I would breach the battered ground
Turn your darkness into light love
Turn your silence into sound
But I can't cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up your window
And I watched you fly away
Have you raised the final anchor
Have you cut the lesson free
Sending off our due redemption
Like a funeral at sea
I will always hear you calling
You're the sway of falling leaves
Like a bird you'll spiral onward
And you just know where I'll be
And I can't cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up your window
And I watched you fly away
And I can't cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms
And you can't tell me not to stay
When I opened up your window
And I watched you fly away
I'm closing up my window
Till I see a blue horizon
And the quiet calm of my love will fly away

Wake up wake up the sun cannot wait for long
Reach out reach out before it fades away
You will find the warmth when you surrender
Smile into the fear and let it play
You wanna run away and you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face of what I don't understand
My reason to be brave
Hold on hold on so strong
Time just carries on
All that you thought was wrong is pure again
You can't hide forever from the thunder
Look into the storm and feel the rain
You wanna run away and you say that it can't be so
You wanna look away look away
But you stay 'cause it's all so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
In the face of what I don't understand

Feels Like Home [English]
Something in your eyes makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself in your arms
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 low I've felt for so long
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my world the way you've done
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I've come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Another window breaks down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But that's alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I've come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

They Won’t Go When I Go [English]
No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go
All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go
And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with Him I'll bide
Because they won't go when I go
Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go
And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He will give
He will give
He's hardly going to give
Ohhh
The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go
Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
'Cause they won't go when I go
And I'll go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny.
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go
All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go
And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with Him I'll bide
Because they won't go when I go
Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go
And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He will give
He will give
He's hardly going to give
Ohhh
The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go
Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
'Cause they won't go when I go
And I'll go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny.
Straight To You
CD: Illuminations
Composers: Nick Cave
Language: English
All the towers of Ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I’ll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I’ll cry, girl but I’ll come a running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again
Gone are the days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
One more time
Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I’ll run, babe, but I’ll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

War At Home [English]
Fallen brother he’s a fallen husband
He’s about to be woken in his hospital bed
He doesn’t want to rest
He just wants to run
And he’s tired of being told that he’s the lucky one
Caped crusader she’s newborn leader
But you should see her when her daughter’s on the phone
And she wipes the tears away
And she laces up because there’s still hell to pay
And it sure feels like hell today
And she says
You see these hands they’re bruised and brown
They’re yours alone
Hold on love we’re still going down
Hold on love we’re still fighting at home
The war at home
Innocence behind his broken expression
He’s a child of mercy he’s our unlearned lesson
And he’s trying to wake up
From this wilderness his world has now become
He’s reaching out to those he’s running from
And he says
You see these hands they’re bruised and brown
They’re yours alone
Hold on love we’re still going down
Hold on love we’re still fighting at home
The war at home
And it’s (one step forward and two steps back)
This is all who are marching
(one step forward two steps back)
This is young and old
(one step forward two steps back)
Through the void of silence
You are not alone
You see these hands their million strong
They are yours now
Hold on love we’re all going down
Fallen brother he’s a fallen husband
He’s about to be woken in his hospital bed
He doesn’t want to rest
He just wants to run
And he’s tired of being told that he’s the lucky one
Caped crusader she’s newborn leader
But you should see her when her daughter’s on the phone
And she wipes the tears away
And she laces up because there’s still hell to pay

Love Only Knows
CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English
I’ve tried to hold this back so long
And we’re always such a good thing when it’s gone
It be alright, if we just left our heads tonight
Take me away from this old game
Saying that we’re both too much the same
It be alright, if I just stayed with you tonight
And before I go, will I ever see you again
She said love only knows
Love only knows
If we’ll give into fear and chose life undercover
She said love only knows
If it’s special enough then we’ll chose one another
We’ll chose each other
You were the secret I loved to keep
The name I would only sing in my sleep
Would it be alright, if we just lose ourselves tonight
And if you let go, will you reach out again
She said love only knows
Love only knows, if we’ll give into fear and chose life undercover
She said love only knows, if it’s special enough then we’ll chose one another
We’ll choose each other
And I can’t breathe without you and I don’t
And I can’t live without love and I won’t
And I won’t
Love only knows
If we’ll give into fear and choose life under cover
She said love only knows if it’s special enough then we’ll choose one another
Love only knows, how your arms pull me in like the tide pulls me under
She said love only knows just how long we can run before we lose each other
And we need each other
And I can’t live without you and I won’t

If I Walk Away [English]
Lately, I’ve been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of the songs you played for me
Sailing into the misty air
Fading bound for I don’t know where
When I’m there I’ll see
And If I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me
Weightless drifting through stars I got
Faithless woke in the dark and I made this from my dream
Play me all your sweet rhymes
Recreate me, now comes the time when I’ll need your truth to see
So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yeah if I walk away
Please follow me
Walk away
Let the fear fall away
Into the fire you made
Scarlet and gold
Walk away
Head for the light of day
Follow a brighter way
Out of the cold and dark
Down to the one bright spark
Futures that all might start
Someday
So if I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me
Fragments shells of a long ago lifetime
Faces that once were mine
Thrown down by the sea
So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yes if I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Would you please follow me
Lately, I’ve been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of the songs you played for me
Sailing into the misty air
Fading bound for I don’t know where
When I’m there I’ll see
And If I walk away

If I walk away

Higher Window [English]
For all the times I tried for this
And every chance at you I missed
I’ve been known to go my way, but I confess
It made me miss you more
I drew my line across the sand
And set my flag in no man’s land
But here I am the one man band
With a song that’s meant for two
And there is a light, from a higher window
Shining down on you tonight
And the music floats on the breeze
Bringing an easier time
And all of our cards are on the table
Tell me what you want to do
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
For me to love you
How perfect we were meant to be
Our warm and silent symmetry
It’s times like these when all, all we need
Is to be reminded
And I have flown a thousand miles
To empty room and crowded aisles
And we went from cathedral bells
To show and tell and wish you wells
And I, I still look at you and I am blinded I am blinded
Because there is a light, from a higher window
Shining down on us tonight
And the music floats on the breeze
From an easier time
And all of our cards are on the table
Tell me what you want to do
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
Don’t tell me that it’s too late now
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
For me to love you
For all the times I tried for this
And every chance at you I missed
I’ve been known to go my way, but I confess
It made me miss you more
I drew my line across the sand
And set my flag in no man’s land
But here I am the one man band
With a song that’s meant for two
And there is a light, from a higher window
Shining down on you tonight
And the music floats on the breeze
Bringing an easier time
And all of our cards are on the table
Tell me what you want to do
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
For me to love you
How perfect we were meant to be

Hidden Away [English]
Over mountains and sky blue seas
On great circles will you watch for me
The sweetest feeling I’ve got inside
I just can’t wait to get lost in your eyes
And all these words that you meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please don’t keep them
Hidden Away
Sing it out so I can finally breathe
And I can take in all the same
Holding out for something i believe in
All I really need today
I want to free your heart
I want to see your heart
Please don’t keep your heart
Hidden Away
You’re a wonder, how bright you shine
A flickering candle in a short lifetime
A secret dreamer that never shows
If no one sees you then nobody knows
And all these words you were meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please don't keep them
Hidden Away
Sing it out so I can finally breathe
And I can take in all the same
Reaching out for someone I believe in
All I really need today
I want to feel your love
Will you reveal your love
Please don’t keep your love
Hidden Away
I want to free your heart
I want to see your heart
Please don’t keep your heart
