Heather Nova Album

I see you standing in the doorway
Shadow in the sun
I'm reaching out to touch you

Is it better when you know?
That you're not the only one.
That I can hear you.

And there's so much I can do for you.
Give it time I know that I can pro-ove
Now my world is often out to you.
Let if fly-i-i

Welcome
To my life
Welcome
To my world

Welcome
Come inside

I see you pick'in up the pieces
The pieces of a dream
You tried to build around you

I know you're looking for a reason
A reason to believe
And now I found you

And there's so much I can do for you
Given time I know that I can prove
Now my world is offered up to you.

Come inside
And I say. . .

Welcome
To my life

Welcome
To my world

Welcome
Come inside
Wel-he-he-he-he

And there's so much I can do for you
Given time I know that I can prove
Now my world is often out to you.

Come inside
And I say. . .

Chorus (x 4):
Welcome
To my life

Welcome
To my world

Welcome
Come inside

Wel-he-he-he-he

I bury myself in the leaves to sleep
The sun so strong and rage so deep
I keep waking to find I've been dreaming again
And the sound of the ocean is not a plane
And far away they talk about me
In newspaper columns they write about me
round dinner tables and cocktail parties
I'm a heroine and a tragic figure
I'm a heroine as I'm lying here
Beneath my sky

And sometimes
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Why we're always coming down
And why we need to touch the ground
And why I didn't keep on heading
right on up to heaven
I miss my sky

Here from below the clouds are shadows
Not the golden mountains I used to fly through
Here from below the sky's a painting
In a child's room with the future waiting
But not for me

I look up at the birds flying overhead
My sentinel's true but the signals dead
It's been 500 days of hope and sorrow
500 nights with no tomorrow
And the poetry and the best of me
And the heart and the spirit and the sex of me
All fell into the azure sea
In the tailspin with the last of me
And my wings, and my song, all that I knew is dead and gone
I'm weak and tired but my will is strong
And my hope lives on, my hope lives on…

But sometimes,
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Why we're always coming down
Why we need to touch the ground
Why I didn't keep on heading
Right on up to heaven
I miss my sky

If I could keep you underneath my wing
The sky above you, safe from everything
Under, under my wing

To watch you breathing is all that I can do
To see you smile, my only wish come true
I'm living, living for you

The waves roll in, I help you swim
You take my hand
And through the years and through the fears
I'll be your rock, the motherland

The bond is written, the animal in me
I'd lay my life down, I'd give it happily
I'd give it, I'd give it for you

The waves roll in, I help you swim
You take my hand
And through the years and through the fears

I saw the redbird fly
Bright flame against the sky
Burning against the sun
Am I the only one?

I watched the rose unfold
Secrets we left untold
The rose, the red red rose
Still nobody knows

I split the pomegranate
Restless until you've had it
Sweet against the tongue, am I the only one

The blood red rubies of

I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
I'm done drifting, I'm ready for living
With you

And though the world is big and wide
What I want is peace inside
And though there's still so much to do
All I need is you

I'm done searching, I'm ready to dig in
I'm done searching, I'm ready to dig in
With you

And though we still have far to go
That's alright, we'll take it slow
And though the days are often long
With you here I can be strong

I'm done wishing, I'm ready for giving
I'm done wishing, I'm ready for giving
With you

And though the world is big and wide
What I want is peace inside
And though there's still so much to do

On a flight path out of Berlin
I had a sense what I was falling in
I caught the light refracting from your eyes
On the runway below making me blind
I had a hurricane warning in my chest
Listening for the voice that knows me best
It's all so simple and so true but I'm so slow to learn

Yeah you've got me
I'm in your world
Caught in your sunset
Overturned

So I put down in Nova Scotia
In the pine tree sun I could smell the ocean
I was trying so hard not to remember
Washing it clean in the icy water
But the energy I can't resist
And when the fog rolls in I think of your kiss
So I light a fire to stare into
But love's so slow to burn

Yeah you've got me
I'm in your world
Caught in your sunset
Overturned

Well some will say that nothing lasts forever
And some will say it's better to be safe
I don't care; I'll stay with you whatever it takes

Yeah you've got me
I'm in your world
Caught in your sunset

(Chris Isaac)

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I never dreamed I'd love somebody like you
I don't want to fall in love
No I don't want to fall in love with you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I don't want to fall in love
No I don't want to fall in love with you

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No I don't want to fall in love
No I don't want to fall in love with you

Your face so beautiful it makes me cry
I was not thinking I would get this high
But here I am mesmerized

Life gets heavy but bright
Deeper blue, crystallized
I'm so weak, so alive
Mesmerized

A light appearing in my broken sky
Night falls around me as the stars shoot by
While here I stand mesmerized

Life gets heavy but bright
Deeper blue, crystallized
I'm so weak, so alive

Do you think I can't see through to who you are?
All the life that shines below the pain, the scars
Did you think that you could hide?
Build up a wall inside?
Just turn yourself to stone, and go through this alone?
No, I'll be there
Like a bird, singing to you
I'll be there
Like a bird, singing you through
I'll be there, I'll be there
Holding the light for you
Making it right for you
Singing you through

Do you think that I don't know how far you've come?
All the heights you've had to climb, the miles you've run
Did you think I'd let you down?
just turn this ship around
and leave you in the dust?
But you must know you must
That I'd be there
Like a bird, singing to you
I'll be there
Like a bird, singing you through
I'll be there, I'll be there
Holding the light for you
Making it right for you
Singing you through

People think that they can heal without the touch
Learn to live without the love they need so much
But everybody hurts, and everybody cries
And everybody needs a helping hand sometimes
And I'll be there
Like a bird, singing to you
I'll be there
Like a bird, singing you through
I'll be there, I'll be there
Holding the light for you
Making it right for you

If we can't find a way to live
It's that we don't know how to give
We're breathing but with iron lungs
Speaking but in separate tongues

Just find a way, a way to live

The walls are high but made of glass
The dye is dark but not yet cast
And though remorse comes easily
An act of love could set you free

Just find a way, a way to live

A way to live a way to live a way to hold our fire

The world outside can't describe my inner life
The river's long, the road rolls on in my inner life
I know you're a good man, but you can only guess

This body has traveled on, this body is fine and strong
This body has given life, nurtured and sacrificed
This body has done so much, this body needs your touch

All I want is a little tenderness
A warm embrace to wake up my senses
I just want a caring hand, I want you to understand

That this body has traveled on, this body is fine and strong
This body has given life, nurtured and sacrificed
This body has done so much, this body needs your touch

This is sacred ground, waiting here to be found

This body has traveled on, this body is fine and strong
This body has given life, nurtured and sacrificed

Hey don't cry, the night is almost through
And I'll be here to hold and comfort you
Sometimes you'll look out on dark and stormy skies
But darling remember the sun will always rise
And bring the light, and bring the light

Life will take you through many endless nights
And you may struggle with pain and loss sometimes
But as long as you are humble
And you stay true inside
Come what may the sun will always rise
And bring the light, and bring the light

Mountains will make it harder
Dark clouds will make you doubt
But you'll get through
And when I can't be with you
This ray of hope I give to you

So hey don't cry, the night is almost through
And I'll be here to hold and comfort you
Though sometimes you'll look out on dark and stormy skies
Darling remember, the sun will always rise
