Erasure Album

Love you boy, till I fall
The child in me again, he plays the fool
Cry for joy, amen
For after all, it's only love
And the way you stir your coffee
Like an angel in the morning

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Save your tears, don't mean much
Is the guilty party me? I don't think so
And it, it's no bed of roses lying here
Tossing and turning

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

And these, these years of love and giving surely
Must be something to you

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom
Don't come crying on my shoulder

Still you dare to change your mind
You'll be sorry when it's over
When you've had your taste of freedom

Never get angry at the stupid people
Though I go crazy at the dullness of my life
Sit and I stare through a dusty window
An empty face stares back at me and cries

My vulnerability rushes up to me
And I'm left here
The rebel without a cause
And the deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me with you
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

Though I get weary doesn't mean that I'm unwilling
My body belies me, I'm a fertile mind
And as I grow older the world forgets me
And talks to me as if I'm some kind of child

Their insensitivity washes over me
'Til I'm left here
The rebel without a cause
The deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me and you
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes

What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
I can't recollect
I'll never see your eyes again
I try to forget
I'll never see your eyes again
What hurts me most
I'll never see your eyes again

Tempered by greed, tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirring from sleep, we night owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone?

Star chime, hollow and true
Love child

Weep for me, and I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Sheltered by creed, one piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one?

Light shine, wild and free
Sunrise

Weep for me, and I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me, like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me, and I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Here we are, in the sunshine
Everything is fine
Here we are, in the sunshine
Everything is fine

Weep for me, and the sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me, 'till rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
Stand by me, and I will fill you with devotion

Weep for me, and the sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me, like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me, and I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me, and rays of sunshine will fill the ocean

I try hard to put you out of my mind
Every night alone I'm thinking about you
How can I avoid this pain without you?

I won't cry, I won't be sorry no more
I know that this is something I'll get over
Maybe I can learn to love another

It's just a matter of time
A matter of time

Just because I lock myself in my room
It doesn't mean that I'm afraid to talk to
Those people I know that might have seen you

No return, I keep reminding myself
I won't look back, won't regret a single moment
I'm gonna mend this heart inside you've broken

It's just a matter of time
A matter of time
It's just a matter of time
A matter of time

Show me the way, they say safety in numbers
I lift up my eyes to the sky
And imagine a crowd of hearts that surround me
And give me the courage to die

Were you to weep and lie soft at my feet
Then you'd wash all my troubles away
And imagine the host of angels around me

I ain't never going home
'Cause I'm having a good time
I ain't never going home
'Cause my time is come

I'll wait for the winter to lie at my door
White stretches out before me
Leads me to the hall

White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to its feet

I ain't never turning back
'Cause I've come this far
And I'm lost within my tracks
I will follow the north star

I'll wait 'til the springtime is breathing at my door
The wilderness before me
Heeds the lion's roar

White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world her hands and her knees

I'll wait 'til the winter is lying at my door
Time stretches out before me
A stone's throw from the door

White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world her hands and her feet

We go down
To a foriegn land
Dive through the clouds
You hold the guiding light in your hands

This must be all that there is
Times don't come much more beautiful
You can show me places that my eyes have never seen
I'm followin' you
Where are you taking me to?

You could be my angel who just
Walks out of a dream
I'm followin' you
Where are you taking me to?
I have all faith in you
And these tenderest moments (these tenderest moments)

We circle low
Embrace the night as she draws us in
A holy shroud
A veil to hide our tenderest moments

This must be all that there is
Times don't come much more beautiful
You can show me places that my eyes have never seen
I'm followin' you
Where are you taking me to?

You could be my angel who just
Walks out of a dream
I'm followin' you
Where are you taking me to?
I have all faith in you

Cuts to the quick
Pure emotion, a trip
No word of a lie

Pressed to your lips
We collide, slowly twist
Ardent and lithe

Seeps into the ground
Kisses the earth and I am found

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Alien, Wo-Ah, alien

Just so it seems
Softly potent, serene
Vacant and shy

You are everywhere
Under my skin and in my hair

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Alien, Wo-Ah, alien

Seeps into the ground
Kisses the earth and I am found

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye

Love's young dream
Could be serene

Can you see this prediliction rushing through my head?
Was a morning full of circumstance
I was seeing red
Put my blues away

Navigation gone astray, went any way I could
Haven't got the time of day
Cannot see why I should
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

Always had my reservations, who am I to blame?
Walked in to the ring of fire
Heart in a wall of flames
Put my blues away

My emotion running riot, through the neighborhood
Screaming in the dead of night
I wish to be understood
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

Navigation gone astray, went any way I could
Haven't got the time of day
Cannot see why I should
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me, someday

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

Tell me where you are, hey little darling
'Cause I ain't got twenty-twenty vision
And I know you're here somewhere
And it's nearly bedtime
And I'm getting lonely

Hey little darling, tell me where you are
'Cause I ain't got twenty-twenty vision
And I know you're here somewhere
And it's nearly bedtime

Love leave me alone, I've got troubles of my own
I do believe that I have paid the price
For all the things I've said and done
Every little thing that seemed to go wrong

How many times will I regret the chances taken?
And why do I end up always the one who is mistaken?

Love leave me to sleep, let me wallow in my dreams
See the icy past fade away
The dawning of a brand new day
The echoes of the past that still remind me

How many times will I regret the chances taken?
And why do I end up always the one who is mistaken?

How many times will I regret the chances taken?
And why do I end up always the one who is mistaken?

How many times will I regret the chances taken?

It's not just a love affair, it's all or nothing
Do I bet it all on love? Or change and freak out?
When the chances come my way, will they up and disappear?
Will it ever go my way? Or am I out of here?

There'll be tears before your bedtime, you mark my words
You wanted more than I could give you
You wanted more than you could have

It's not just a love affair, it's now or never
Could I give it all to you? Is that what we're about?
If I hold you, will you stay? Or will you up and disappear?
Be forever and a day, like your letter said

There'll be tears before your bedtime, you mark my words
You wanted more than I could give you
You wanted more than you could have

When the chances come my way, will they up and disappear?
Will it ever go my way? Or am I out of here?

There'll be tears before your bedtime, you mark my words
You wanted more than I could give you

Past five in the morning, feeling worse for the weather it seems
But what a feeling, what an endless night this has been

And we can't stay here, 'cause we won't be forever young
We'll have to go down before innocence is lost

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

Woah, woah

I've been getting used to all the crying and the games that you play
And if I carry on I'm going to end up with a hole in my head

And there's more to life than thrills and spills and dollar bills
We'll have to get through, some way and somehow

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
