They say we're in a state of emergency
So how come no one is panicking

Where were you when they wrote the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

Well, the paper doesn't cause too much of a fuss
Perhaps it's because it's not, it's not sad enough

Where were you when they wrote the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

You've never seen the colour blue

Call me in the morning, we'll go for toast and tea

Where were you when they broke the news
And how are you, are you feeling blue

You've never seen the colour blue
You've never seen the colour blue

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Well you've never ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
No you've never seen the colour ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen the colour blue
Never seen the colour ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen the colour blue
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
No no no you've never seen the colour ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Never the seen the colour blue
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen the colour blue
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
No no you've never seen the colour blue, oh

You've never seen the colour blue

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

You'll never know how you run me down
And I don't even need you, no
And still you keep me holdin' on
Just for dear life

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

If you live a loveless life
Just blame it on me
On the count of oblivion
I'm guilty

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

I'm over playin' with your massive ego
Still I keep on holdin' on for dear life

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

When you're cold and under the covers
Does it ever bother you
Do you remember how warm the truth is
How can you live without it

No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
No we've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
We've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again
We've never been away from here
So we'll try to lose ourselves again

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

I could almost remember your face
When I heard your voice today
I could see your lips moving
At the other end of the receiver

It was almost a very good bye
But dialtones tend to make me cry
I call back within moments
You laugh and don?t even ask why

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

You don't see me but I feel so exposed
Each time there's a pause on the phone
I wish there was another button to press
So I could read your mind

In heaven we won't have to call
I'll be with you spring summer and fall
But for now soon you?ll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

So for now soon you'll be here
And heal in my arms as the night goes by

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

That's what we do
Can we do it
Until we die

Messages from where I used to grow
Twenty thousand frames of mind
This is my soul

Relentless where I'm most alone
Twenty thousand faceless names
This is your show

And, oh, I feel
I am a wandering
A fleeting transient

Soul
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

Covenant we will always grow
Our skin will fade transcend beyond
All we've been told

I feel I am the wandering
A fleeting transient

Soul
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

And oh all I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

Heal me
I'm healed when you see me
You see me when you feel me

Souls
All I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone

And oh all I feel is I am holding on
But only for a moment then it's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone
It's gone

Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin' me love you
I think I can get through

Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin' to happen
On the way to nowhere

And now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Bein' a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
And now I think I'll get through

Now honey around you
I'm feelin' so good
'Cause you picked me up out of the rough
And you polished me up and made me brand new

And baby before you, ho ho
There was just a black hole
Yeah I was beat down, blacked out
My darling you couldn't even know

But ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through

Oh ... ho ...
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ....
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ... ho ...
And now I think I'll get through

And now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through

They must mean business
To say there's nothing worse
Then to let your precious love child
Leave the planet first

'Cause, oh whoa whoa
They've gotta just let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time lose
And all the things you never ...

So I think we're gonna have to record her
Sometimes against her will
We're gonna keep her alive with black and whites
Colour moving and still

And then, oh whoa whoa
We've gotta just let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose

Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose

All the things that you swear you're gonna do
Reservations on the next train to the moon
Pack your things cause there ain't no time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose

You were searching for a soul
Tearin' yourself apart just to become whole, oh
You were walkin' down the road
Only to find your reflection in the puddles below, oh oh

Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
I see that dangerous look in your eyes
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

[laugh]

In these circles you seem to go
Never finding the centre
Never finding your way home
And do you ever see yourself
When you look in the mirror
Or is it a reflection of everyone else

Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
I see that dangerous look in your eye
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

There's a part of me that wants to hold you
And tell you everything is gonna be OK
And there's a part of me that wants to shake you
And tell you there's no such thing as a soul anyway, hey hey

I see that dangerous look in your eyes
Uh oh, you're soul searchin'
But is a soul really worth your whole life

[laugh]

Oh, I don't need to know myself that well oh
Oh, I don't need to know you better today
Oh, I don't need to know myself that well
I don't need to anyway

Make me believe in you
Honestly for real, one thing true
Take me in, in your arms
Wandering alone seems so far

Let me know that you made it as far as forever, oh whoa
Let me know that you hear when I cry if you can

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little, oh

Let me know heaven sees
Shines on life our memories
Mmm, make me feel all that you are
Angel child or a radiant star

'Cause I know that we?ll meet up again in forever. oh
Let me know you?ll be waiting for me in the end

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little

Ha ... ha ... ah ... ah ah

You're far away from me
You're far away from me
You're far away from me
Come a little closer
Just a little, oh
Just a little

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Just a little
Whoa oh oh oh ...

Eve is gone again
Back to her palace
Back to her island
Eve can smile again
And run 'round the hedges
In the Garden of Eden

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it's over darling

Oh, could I be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could I forgive
And could I die in my mother's arms
Like her

Eve's a child again
Sing her a lullaby
Read to her every night
Eve's in heaven
Plenty of friends are there
No one the enemy

Run the way you did before the nightmares
Run just like before the overkill
Run the way you did it's over darling

Oh, could I be so gentle
Oh, so soft and tender
Oh, and could I forgive
And could I die in my mother's arms
Like her
Like her
Like her

Like her ...
Run the way you did before the nightmares
Like her ...
Run just like before the overkill
Like her ...
Run the way you did it's over darling
Like her ...
Run the way you did before the nightmares
Like her ...
Run just like before the overkill
Like her ...
Run the way you did it's over darling

Could I die in my mother's arms
Like her

Misery's turning my luck around
Framed all the faces on my way down
I don't have a reason, a reason to lie
The dull pain is screaming to be left behind, oh

It's never easy to see your past
Unfold before you, the outcast
I don't have a reason, a reason to cry
Caterpillars turn into rare butterflies, oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them and I'll be alright
Oh oh oh

Da da da da da da da da da da da

Humility's easing my ego down
The past holds the truth like a lost and found
There's no need to worry, no need to be scared
'Cause little things will come along and life's never fair, no
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them that I'll be alright
Oh oh oh

Da da da da da da da da da da da

Everything is gonna be ...
Everything is alright
Everything is gonna be ...
Everything is alright, is alright, is alright

The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them and we'll be alright
The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't wanna show them and I'll be alright
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I.........
I.........
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
This early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Chorus:]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go

I.........
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now
They don't mean a thing
Every place I go
I think of you
Every song I sing
I sing for you
When I come back
I'll wear your wedding ring

[Chorus]

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the time when I don't have to say........

[Chorus]

Leaving on a jet plane
[repeat]

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' 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 been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life 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 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

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 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 the back where I 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
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Oohh ...

There are places I remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever
Not for better
Some have gone
And some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love
As something new
Though I know I'll never those affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more

Oohh ...

In my life
I love you more
