A Matter Of Time – Lyrics
Matter Of Time
I think it’s time, I think it’s time
My baby’s coming back
I know it’s right, I know it’s right
My baby’s coming back
My baby’s coming back to me
Long time lost, long time of lost
Falling into the deep
Long time lost, long time of lost
Falling into deep
Falling into the deep
[chorus]
It’s a matter of time
It’s a matter of time, you see
It’s a matter of time
It’s a matter of life, to me
What did I say, what did I say
That drove you far away
What did I do, what did I do
I ain’t got a clue
What did I do, why did you go
[chorus]
See me standing here in flames
It must be 200 degrees
It’s a cruel and wicked game
See me down
I’m down on my knees
I know it’s time, I know it’s time
My baby’s coming back to me
Face on the wall
I heard it on the radio
I recognized your voice
You sang a song about
making love not war
I was on a bus
I was on my way home
like so many other nights before
[chorus]
Ahhhh, you’re a face
A face on the wall
We were lovers for a long, long time
It was me and you
But we didn’t make it all way through
I was ready to settle down
but you were on your way
There were so many things
you had to do
[chorus]
I still live in the same old house
It’s old and grey and worn
but it’s got a breathtaking view
I repainted the kitchen chairs
I sold off some stuff
The only thing I can’t erase is you
[chorus]
Cccc’mon
Come a little bit closer and let me make you feel so good and so fine
Just a little bit closer and I’ll show you what I’ve got on my mind
Close your eyes and I’ll take you for a ride
Ride round my world and everything will be so fine
It’s so funny how my feelings are running up and down
and round and out inside
Every minute of the day, every night I got you on my mind
Come tonight, come tonight and I will
wrap you in my arms and make you feel so fine
[chorus]
Cccccc’mon now, cccc’mon now
Hey, come on
Oh, come on
Come a little bit closer and I’ll whisper you a secret that I’ve got
A little bit closer, I’ve made my mind up
Hold on tight, hold on tight, I will whisper in your ear a secret that I’ve got
[chorus]
Come closer and I’ll make you feel like a hurricane
up and down and round and out inside
Come a little bit closer
Book of Love
I know we do all we can
To find a woman, find a man
Someone to stay closer to
Someone who says I love you
This is what it´s all about
It gives us hope, it gives us doubts
Gives us everything we need
Everything and it’s for free
But when you wrote the book of love
You forgot the chapter of
Broken hearts and hearts of steel
Love can kill you love can heal
Anytime you know it´s real
Love can hurt you ´til you cry
Love can make you stay alive
Lead you through until you die
Leave you in a blink of an eye
So wish us luck and wish us well
On our way on nowhere road
It may lead us straight to hell
It may be the way to go
We´ll be there before we know
Crazy
You really get me going, you drive me wild
Just a look, just a smile
Everything you say
and every little thing you do
Just makes me want some more of you
And it drives me crazy, crazy about you
You make me talk in a way I don’t
I say I will when I won’t
Words falling from my mouth
like a language I don’t know
No one makes me speak the way you do
And it drives me crazy, crazy about you
Your kisses taste better
than anything else that I’ve tried
They’re soft and they’re hot and
they’re melting the ice inside
The love that you give
makes me a little bit high
Makes me want some more
and some more and more…
You make me move a special way
A kind of dance, kind of strange
Everybody says I’ve got
a different kind of style
I say I know and it’s mine
And it drives me crazy, crazy about you
Real gone
So long, so long
Been waiting here for you for so long
A while, a short while
Time stood still for a while
In time, in time
Everything we do is in time
Everywhere I go I see your face
I can’t stop wondering where you are
Everywhere they play our favourite song
Such an attraction from that weeping guitar
[chorus]
I’m gone, I’m real, real gone
Just a little kiss
Oh, I’m gone
Away, so far away
I want to take you far far away
So stay, come and stay
I need you really close, come and stay
Everywhere I go I see your face
I can’t stop wondering where you are
Everywhere they play our favourite song
Such an attraction from that weeping guitar
[chorus]
A minute away
Say, say it in your way
Let your sweet melody sing out my name
Blow, blow wind blow
Bring me the message I’ve waited for
But I couldn’t wait
I tried to hold back, and behave
Now I’m on my way
Just a minute away, minute away
a minute away from you
Some, sometimes I lay
I lay awake all night, and it’s ok
Close, you’re so close
So real, I can nearly touch your face
But I want to feel
Your breath, your lips, your fingertips
Your arms around my neck
I’m just a minute away, minute away
a minute away from you
I couldn’t wait
I tried to hold back, and behave
Now I’m on my way
I’m just a minute away, minute away
a minute away from you
Pretender
Life is a mystery, life is a show
You’ve got a ticket for the first row
Come let me lead you to the unknown
Close your eyes, come on let’s go
I’m gonna guide you through the stars
Across the universe
we’re passing Mars
Hang on and glide in
my big red balloon
I’m the first girl on the moon
[chorus]
Believe me, cause I’m a pretender
Believe me
I’m a long way, long way
Long way from home
No flowers, no cars
No children, no bars
Nowhere to go to and just sit and talk
Just a funny way to walk
[chorus]
No mornings, no nights
No music, no lights
There’s really nothing to do
for the first girl on the moon
[chorus]
Run
Forever, since I was a baby
I’ve been thinking maybe
There will come a day
When I can look into the mirror
Get rid of the horror
And feel that I’m ok
[chorus]
I’m gonna run, run away
Run away from hurt, from the pain
I’m gonna find a place
Where I cannot be found
And later when it’s gone, long gone
I’m gonna try to carry on
Maybe I’ll find someone
Words, hit me like a knife
I thought it was all right
Cause I was raised on lies
Tears, always filled my eyes
But you never saw me cry
I kept it all inside
[chorus]
Still, I am thinking maybe
I’m still thinking maybe
There will come a day
[chorus]
Over and over
I’m gonna try to make a change
Get rid of all bad habits I made
Too much of everything can be great
Another day and I just failed
I killed my darlings one by one
I’ll try to stop falling in love
I hear your voice and I’m real gone
My promises they fade away
[chorus]
I do it over and over
Over and over again
It makes me happy, in a good mood
Don’t wanna change even if I could
Why is it bad when it feels so good
I never ever understood
[chorus]
Too much of everything is great
Don’t think I wanna make a change
Why is it bad when it feels so good
I never ever understood
[chorus]
Nothing without you
For so many years, I’ve been trying to write you a song
but I just couldn’t find enough words
I don’t know how to say
cause my love is so strong
So strong, sometimes it hurts
It shakes, worries and burns
[chorus]
Like a heart without a soul
Rock without roll
I’m nothing without you
Like the sun without a moon
A day without a noon
Like me and you
I’m nothing without you
Whatever you do, whatever you may confess
nothing can make me love you less
Days will come, days will go
and when you don’t know where to go
When you’re sad and blue
I’ll be waiting for you
[chorus]
Days will come and days will go
And when you don’t know where to go
I ’ll be there for you
[chorus]
