Don't Bury My Heart

Last night I saw you down the street,
I caught your face in the glass,
Last night you strolled down to our seat in the park,
I was in the shadows down the path.
Last night I watched you till the bedroom light died,
And I swear I heard you call my name.

Don't bury my heart, girl,
Don't bury my heart,
Don't you bury,
Don't you bury my heart.

I was trying to forget the time,
When you drove all night just to say hello,
I was trying to forget the place,
where we kissed and said Forever together,
I was trying to forget the way,
You smiled when you said goodbye.

Don't bury my heart, girl,
Don't bury my heart,
Don't you bury,
Don't you bury my heart.

What do I do when we meet again?
Do I say I'm never better?
What do I do when my eyes wont lie,
For everything you are is sweet to me, so sweet to me
Whad do I do, I'm begging you please,
Dont keep the air between us or I will freeze

Don't bury my heart, girl,
Don't bury my heart,
Don't you bury,
Don't you bury my heart.
Don't bury my heart, girl,
Don't bury my heart,
Don't you bury,
Don't you bury my heart.
Don't bury my heart,
Don't bury my heart,
...

Timmy

I know what your brother thinks,
Your brother thinks im mad,
But the whole worlds a little crazy
Timmys just a little bit bad,
You
All of saturday night,

Timmy turns off all the lights,

Cos i want to go there,
Out on the sound,
Sweet Cecilia,
All the way down.


At 11 o'clock.
Timmy got his pointey shoes on,
And his bright yellow socks,


And the lager it tastes flat,
Timmy down on the lino dancefloor,
He don't care about that.

Cause I want to go there,
I want the sound,
Sweet Cecilia,
All the way down.

Walking by the riverside,
Watch the yellow sun rise,
Cecilia down in the damp green grass,
She's making love with her eyes

Cos I want to go there, (We are the tribe)

Just music and heat,
And I want to go there, (I want to go)
Out on the sound,       (Out on the sound)
Sweet Cecilia,          (Sweet cecilia, sweet sweet cecilia)
All the way down.       (all the way down)

I want to go
I want the sound,
I want to feel the rhythm all the way down
I want to go
I want the sound,
Sweet Cecilia
I want to go
I want the sound,
Sweet Cecilia

Cos I want to go there,
I want the sound,
Sweet Cecilia,
All the way down.

So Deep

A thousand butterflies

As the hunter persues his wounded prey,


I cant

I can't I can't


Walking in through the sand,

People
with english tea

secret garden,

with the naked children

I can't I cant I cant keep,
It's so it's so it's so deep.
I can't I can't I can't give it to myself,
It's so it's so it's so deep.

The window out in the snow
Hauting the ordinary with wise wise proverbs.

And suddenly you feel back a million years.

I can't I cant I cant keep,
It's so it's so it's so deep.
I can't I can't I can't give it to myself,
It's so it's so it's so deep.

I can't I cant I cant keep,
It's so it's so it's so deep.

I can't I can't I can't give it to myself,
It's so it's so it's so deep.

So deep.

No Thunder, No Fire, No Rain

Martin sets out from the village
Katta pella kopa leh
As the blue sun reherses the falling roll
And all the vultures still sleep.

Martin's bus comes to the forest
Katta pella kopa leh
With engine blowing steam into the morning dust,
As far as the

No thunder, no fire, no rain,
Niacetanovalain,
No thunder, no fire, no rain.

Martin checks in the chemical plant of
Katta pella kopa leh
As his young bride,

and its own dream,
he starts a long day,

Martin works with
Niacetanovalain
As warning bells ring critical


No thunder, no fire, no rain,
Niacetanovalain
No thunder, no fire, no rain.

Martin feels the cold wind screaming

as the
not the roads

Martin was killed in the company name

As the    tore right through his soul,


No thunder, no fire, no rain,
Niacetanovalain
No thunder, no fire, no rain,
Niacetanovalain
No thunder, no fire, no rain.
Niacetanovalain
No thunder, no fire,
No thunder, no fire,
No rain, no rain.
No thunder, no fire,
No thunder, no fire,
No rain, no rain.

Martin sets out from the village

As the blue sun reverses
The falling
And all the vultures still

Carve You In Marble

When you asked me how does it feel,
To be loved by someone like you,
I could only answer with this song.
Many colours fill the canvas,
Will I ever catch you drift, girl,
Make your shape and give your feeling form.

I will carve you in marble,
Carve you cause I love you,
I will carve you in marble.

Every day i crave your presence,
Lose myself in tender feeling,
You and i will stand the test of time.
I remember nights of passion,
Drifiting into days of wonder,
Memories are all we live these nights.

I will carve you in marble,
Carve you cause I love you,
I will carve you in marble.

I will carve you in marble,
Carve you cause I love you,
I will carve you in marble.

I will carve you in marble,
Carve you cause I love you,
I will carve you in marble.
Marble.
Marble.
Cause I love you.
Cause I love you.

Water Into Wine

Im stood here on the platform,
Got my ticket in my fist,
And im staring at the flowers,
On your pretty printed dress,
And I say your brothers waiting,
In the escort 85,
And its better if you leave it,
Just a little while,

Cathy


From
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Oh Cathy, please dont go


Says i can help him do some banks,

Cathy say you'll have me back

If i drive this stuff accross the line

Its just like water into wine.

Cathy i can make it better,
Cathy

Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Oh Cathy, Cathy,
Cathy please dont go.

I think your brothers getting edgy,
He keeps blowing on his horn,
He says im lying like last time,
And im never going to learn
Cathy you and I dont care,
We'll last a thousand years,
Cos we've got gold dust on our skin now,
And diamonds in our tears.

Cathy this could be the big one,
Just tell me we're not over yet,
Cause I've got money coming,

Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Cathy dont go,
Oh Cathy, Cathy,
Oh Cathy, please dont go

Billy's planning for my future,
Cathy dont go,
Its just like water into wine.
Cathy dont go.

Hyacinth

What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
My lovely bloom.

What are you dreaming of?
What are you dreaming of?

Sail away with you
Let me sail away with you.

Let me be your hero,
I can play that bow for you.

[CHORUS]
You are the difference and the
You ....  where our skins will reach,
In my huge lens you are the Hyacinth.
You are the stranger sent of grace
You are .......... race
In my huge lens you are the Hyacinth.


What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
My castle queen,
What are you dreaming of?
What are you dreaming of?
My evergreen,
Let me find my strength to .......
Proove mysef to you
Let me proove myself to you.
Cause all i really want right now
Is to know that you love me to.

[CHORUS]

       in the highest place.
You are the Hyacinth.
       in the highest place.
You are the Hyacinth.
       in the highest place.

Please let me be the hero
I can play that bow for you.

[CHORUS]

What you thinking of?
What you thinking of?
My evergreen.
