Lizz Wright Album

Cold winds may blow
over icy seas
I'll take with me
the warmth

a taste of honey
a taste much sweeter
than wine

I'll leave behind
my heart to wear
and may it ever
remind you of

a taste of honey
a taste much sweeter
than wine

I will return
I will return
I'll come back
Lyricsfor the honey
and you

he never came back
to his love so fair
and so she died
dreaming of his kiss

his kiss was honey
a taste more bitter
than wine

I will return
I'll come back
I'll come back

mmm
I will return

Donґt tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
ґCause he said so

Tell me love isnґt true
Itґs just something we do
Tell me everything Iґm not
Donґt tell me to stop

Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time
Let it fall by the way
Leave me where I lay

Tell the leaves not to turn
Donґt tell me Iґll learn
Take the black off a crow
But donґt tell me go

Tell the bed not to lay
LyricsLike the mouth of a grave
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf on its knees

Tell me love isnґt true
Itґs just something we do
Tell me everything Iґm not
But donґt tell me to stop
Tell me everything Iґm not
Donґt tell me to stop

Hit the ground, babe
Itґs alright now
Hit the ground babe
Take your veil down
See your eyes in mine
Leave the rest behind
Hit the ground babe,
ґCause I want to love you now

Hit the ground, babe
I said is alright now
Hit the ground babe
Youґre gonna make it somehow
Babe, why so lonely?
The day has just begun
Hit the ground babe
Hit the ground and run

See your eyes in mine
Leave the rest behind
Hit the ground, babe
Hit the ground and run
Hit the ground, babe
Hit the ground and run

When I close my eyes
I can almost taste you
I canґt face you
Youґre still too strong
And itґs no surprise
I canґt erase you
I tried to replace you
But it all went wrong
ґCause seeds donґt crawl off the mountains
And they donґt fall
fall from the tree
And they donґt drop
not when youґre counting
Or maybe thatґs my sweet philosophy
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm ...

When I close my eyes
I dream about you
Tell me how to
Tell me how not to
Grab on to something new
I looked my fate past through
But instead I keep on holding on
I keep holding on
When I close my eyes
I think about you
I just canґt let you go
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

I'm confessing that I love you
Tell me do you love me too?
I'm confessing that I need you
Honest I do
I need you every moment

In your eyes I read such strange things
But your lips deny they're true
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue

I'm afraid someday you'll leave me
Saying can we still be friends
If you go, you know you'll grieve me
All in life, on you depends

Am I guessing that you love me
Dreamin' dreams of you in vain
I'm confessing that I love you
Over and over again

LyricsI'm confessing that I love you
Tell me do you love me too?
I'm confessing that I need you
Honest I do
Oh oh oh
Honest I do
Oh oh oh
I really do

Old man look at my life,
Iґm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life
Iґm a lot like you were

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and thereґs so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two

Love lost, such a cost
Give me things
that donґt get lost
Like a coin that wonґt get tossed
Rolling home to you

Old man take a look at my life
Iґm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
LyricsJust one look in my eyes
and you can tell thatґs true

Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the some old town
Doesnґt mean that much to me
To mean that much to you

Iґve been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But Iґm all alone at last
Rolling home to you

Old man take a look at my life
Iґm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Just one look in my eyes
and you can tell thatґs true

Old man look at my life,
Iґm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life
Iґm a lot like you were

Wake up, wake up
Little sparrow
Don't make your home
Out in the snow
Don't make your home
Out in the snow

Little bird,
Don't you know
Your friends flew south
Many months ago
Your friends flew south
Many months ago

Youґre just a babe
You cannot fly
Your wings won't spread
Up against the sky
Your wings won't spread
Up against the sky

Mmm ...

Wake up, wake up
Little sparrow
Don't make your home
Out in the snow
Don't make your home
Out in the snow

Itґs just three digits
but Iґm far from home
Fallen, nobody cares
I twist three keys and Iґm all alone
Thereґs a party upstairs
Itґs not the first time Iґve been lied to
I knew nothing about you

I am chasing a strange
And I will rearrange
To be a part with every change that you make

Breaking shadows every time that I run
Under a love I canґt share
The liquid daughters and the liquid son disappear in thin air
Every single breath, every single sight
Is all the earth
And it needs to be

And I am chasing a strange
And I will rearrange
LyricsTo be a part
With every change that you make
And I am chasing a strange
And I will rearrange
To be a part
With every change that you make

I am chasing a strange
And I will rearrange
To be a part
With every change that you make

Mmm ...

Love is but the song we sing
Fearґs the way we die
You can make the mountain dream
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try and love one another right now

Mmm ...

Some will come and some will go
We will surely pass
When the one who left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a momentґs light
Fading in the grass

LyricsCome on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try and love one another right now

Mmm ... right now
Mmm ...

If you hear the song I sing
You must understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
And itґs there at your command

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try and love one another right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Yeah, yeah, right now
Mmm ...
Oooo, yeah
Mmm ...

Trouble in the air
I don't want it
But Iґve to breathe
Itґs coming through the door
Behind the shadows that surround me when I sleep
Somehow I know
that I canґt pray this away
Iґll keep my head down and get up on this train
This train
Ooo ...

Iґm gonna ride this pain like a wave
Lord, make me over I donґt wann e afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I donґt wanna be the one who canґt let go

What if I get lost
I call out to you and you donґt save me?
The water comes too close
I donґt have the time to give
what you gave to me?
LyricsWell, as long as my name donґt change, Iґll be the same
I loved you more than time
Forever canґt take that away
Ooo ...
Canґt take that away

Just let me ride this pain like a wave
Lord, make me over I don't wanna be afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I donґt wanna be the one who canґt let go

Yeah, yeah, yeah

There is a river
Running by the train
It ainґt troubled
Itґs just laying there, wading in the wind
Wading in the wind
Wading in the wind


Just let me ride this pain like a wave
Lord, make me over I don't wanna be afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I donґt wanna be the one who canґt let go

Let me ride this pain like a wave
Make me over I don't wanna be afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I donґt wanna be the one who canґt let go
Yeah, yeah
Iґll move on
Yeah, yeah
Ride
Yeah, yeah
Ooo, yeah ...

My eyes burn
I have seen the glory of a brighter sun
My heart aches
It has felt the peace of perfect love
My mind fails
As I try to recall the bliss of a glorious day
When I was sleeping, eyes wide open
Dreaming wide awake

Who are you, stranger
To come here, and answer all my prayers?
Where are you from, angel?
You saved my life and disappeared
How do I find you?
Will you come when I need you?
Oh, how Iґd love,
Iґd love to be sleeping, eyes wide open
Dreaming wide awake

So you roam, and you roam
You say that no place is your home.
so I will roam too

I don't wanna stay, whithout you.
There's nothing here, nothing here.
It's time for me to disappear if love won't come through.

I don't wanna stay without you.

And I know, any place I go, all I see,
all I see, is you there in front of me
Do dreams ever come true.
I don't wanna stay without you

I don't wanna stay without you.
I don't wanna stay without you.

I don't wanna be without you
oooh
Don't leave me.
I wanna be where you are.
