Rosie Thomas Album

I'm wandering
I'm crawling
I'm two steps away from falling
I just can't seem to get around
I'm heavy
I'm weary
I'm not thinking clearly
I just can't seem to find solid ground
Since you've been around

I'm running
I'm hiding
I'm afraid you'll never find me
because I've always felt lost in the crowd
I'm sinking
I'm drowning
I'm so afraid of losing
my head's been spinning round and round
since you've been around.

I'm foolish and crazy
I just think that maybe
I've got a lot of things to figure out
I'm winning
I'm losing
I'm afraid of never choosing
this heart of mine was so beaten down
before you came around

Put your pretty dress on
it's time for you to go to the dance
tie your hair in ribbons and lace
and wear pearls round your neck
And all the pretty princes will see you
All the pretty princes will see you
Some day
Some day

Put your red boots on
it's time for you to walk home from school
every one will laugh
they'll point fingers at you
they'll be cruel
but cover up your ears and don't listen
because you'll know much better than them
some day
some day

and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you

put your red coat on
and walk with a light in the woods
if it gets dark dont get scared
there's so much waiting for you
cover up your tears and dont show them
cause you'll know much better than them
some day
some day

and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you

cause they don't see you like i see you
if they did, they'd see
the nice litte girl whose
grown up to become homecoming queen

put your pretty dress on
put your red boots on

and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you
and we'll wave to you
and we'll wave to you

put your pretty dress on
put your red boots on
put your red coat on
put your pretty dress on
put your pretty dress on
put your red coat on
put your red boots on
put you pretty dress

She's like a sweater, old and used
Tossed and overworn too many times through
And she used to look so bright
All her seams were tightly tied

She's like a sweater that's just worn out
Fading, coffee stained, and out of style
And she's just about to run
Before her stitches come undone

She's gonna pack her bags & leave
No more loose, unravelled seams
She is young & she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends

She's like a fire in the rain
His words will damp her eyes & heat her veins
And the love she thought she found was just another
Hand-me-down of dwindled grace

She's gonna pack her bags & leave
No more loose, unravelled seams
She is young & she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends

She's found a refuge for her face
While dividing her unfortunate displace
Now she stands too high for them to ring her dry
She's found her way

She's gonna pack her bags & leave
No more loose, unravelled seams
She is young & she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends

It don't matter to the sun
If you go or if you stay
No, the sun is gonna rise, gonna rise
Shine down on another day
There will be tomorrow
Even if you choose to leave
Cuz it don't matter to the sun no, no
It matters to me

It ain't gonna stop the world
If you walk out that door
This old world just keeps spinning round, spinning round
Like it did the day before
Cuz to them it makes no difference
It just keeps on keeping time
Cuz it ain't gonna stop the world no
But it'll be the end of mine

So what can I say?
What can I do?
I'm still in love.
Why aren't you?

Cuz it don't matter to the moon
If your not in my life
No the moon will just keep hanging round, hanging round
Like its just another night
Who find another place to shine
On some other lovers dreams
Cuz it don't matter to the moon no, no
It matters to me

Cuz it don't matter to the moon no, no
But it matters to me

I'm still learning what love is
Everyday I wake up in your arms
I'm still trying to figure out what works
How to set off all your alarms

I'm still learning what love is
When I'm walking close to you
The best way to hold your hand in mine
The best way to comfort you

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way

I'm still learning what love is
Every time you look at me that way
I'm still trying to figure out just how
You can still look at me the same

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way

Even though i may not get it right
All the time i will always try
And i will always stand right by your side

I'm still learning what love is
Everyday I wake up in your arms
I'm still trying to figure out what works

Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way

I'm blessed the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Cause each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell you love me only
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me

So never leave me lonely
Tell you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me

[No lyrics]

Say what you want to say
Play this game your way
It's over anyway
You didn't give it up for love

Take what you want to take
Take back the words you'll say
They never mattered anyway
You didn't give it up for love
No you didn't give, give it up for love

When I look through the photographs
And I see the smile on your face
I remember how you used to feel
And I see how much has changed

Say what you want to say
I'll carry on the same
Maybe you'll look back someday
You didn't give it up for love
No you didn't give, give it up for love

When I look through the photographs
And I see the smile on your face
I remember how you used to feel
And I see how much has changed

When I look through the photographs
And I see the smile on your face
I remember how you used to feel
And I see how much has changed

Say what you want to say
Play this game your way
You will know someday
You didn't give it up for love
No you didn't give, give it up for love
No you didn't give, give it up for love

He took me to the hillside
He liked to take me there
He took me every Saturday
He put flowers in my hair

And we laughed like my mother said she once did
With my father on his birthday when they went swimming
And he took her hand into his
And he told her that he loved her
And his words held meaning, then

How do we make these moments last?
And, how do we get them to stay?
When everything passes and time goes away

He took me to the theater
He liked to take me there
He took me every Saturday
We didn't talk in there

And we laughed like my mother said she once did
With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen
They took her car out for a spin
Along the ocean with the top down
And life held meaning then

How do we make these moments last?
How do we get them to stay?
When everything passes and time goes away

And how do we make these moments last?
And, how do we get them to stay?
When everything passes and time goes away

I can't, I can't stop crying
Everyday I'm so afraid
Afraid of dying
Death already came and got me
Cause I'm not living...
I'm not living anyway...

And who am i supposed to be?
Everybody seems to see except for me
Who cares anyway....
Cause when it's over,
It's all over, and what you gain you throw away

When will love ever find me?
All my life all I've craved is to be seen
Who cares anyway...
Cause when it's over,
All that matters is the love you gave away

What if I told you
I could lose you?
If I waited,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
May be too late

Birds fly above you
Love is around you
I would like to be too
Forever, forever and ever
With you

I would follow you
Anywhere you are going to
Tomorrow, forever, always

And if you were to
Sail across the ocean blue
I would like to sail with you
I'd follow, I'd follow, I'd follow
You home

I would follow you
Anywhere you are going to
Tomorrow, forever, always

I would follow you
Oh, anywhere you are going to
Tomorrow, forever,
Tomorrow, forever,
Tomorrow, forever, always
