Sam Brown Album

She was polishing the chairs
When the doorbell rang
She smoothed down her hair
And answered to a little old man
He gave her his widest grin and said
Would you mind if I came in and talked to you?

One April afternoon
Two shadows walking in the sun
Their final tune
Two shadows waiting for the April moon

She showed him the kitchen
And he pulled up a chair
As he was about to begin
He noticed her hair
He thought to himself
How beautiful she looked
And said
Would you mind if I took a picture of you?

April afternoon
Two shadows walking in the sun
Their final tune
Two shadows waiting for the April moon

Just one moment
A little time and you will find the feeling has gone - has gone
If I could show you
To close your mind would be a crime - just hold on - hold on

I'll be there when you call me
I'll be waiting

With love
With a little love
With love
With a little love

The way it seems to me
It's just an ordinary pain and it won't go.Let it go
It's just a memory
A time that's gone and doesn't matter any more
Let it go

I'll be there when you call me
I'll be waiting

With love
With a little love
With love
With a little love

There's a way to turn it all around
You have everything you need

With love
With a little love
With love
With a little love

Philosophy gives itself freely to all of our minds
You have yours and I have mine
I'll do you a favour completely free of charge
And tell you you're wrong and I'm right

If you'd think it over maybe you'd come round to seeing reason
Think it over it's something that's out of your hands

Well I'm going right out of my head
It's just a matter of time
Is there something that I could have said
That would make you change your mind
Or is it just the way your mind works

I wish I could conjure up something more pointed to say
But I'm just trying to tell you as a friend
Think it over think it over think it over again
You don't have to borrow in order to lend

If you'd think it over maybe you'd come round to seeing reason
Think it over it's something that's out of your hands

I'm going right out of my head
It's just a matter of time
Is there something that I could have said
That would make you change your mind
Or is it just the way your mind works

Meet me at the kissing gate
I know that's where you want to be
Meet me at that lonely place
Won't you just do this for me

Wow is a word that's not used
But that's how I felt
When I first met you
How did it start
This change of heart
There's one thing that you have to do

Meet me at the kissing gate
I know that's where you want to be
Meet me at that lonely place
Won't you just do this for me

Time and again we tried to make amends
We were making our way to a new brighter day
All we found
Was the end

Meet me at the kissing gate
I know that's where you want to be
Meet me at that lonely place
Won't you just do this for me

She never wonders why
The people stop and stare
Ambling through her empty life
Without a care for ordinary faces
But you don't have to stay out there
All alone

You keep on losing yourself
In another world you're
Anchored to dreams of island
Life and the stars but you
Don't know where you are
Where you are nobody knows
Where you are
There's no-one at home

I see those vacant eyes
They stare into space
Caught up in cloudy skies
Don't you often wonder when or
Where you're going
But you don't have to stay out there
All alone

You keep on losing yourself
In another world you're
Anchored to dreams of island
Life and the stars but you
Don't know where you are
Where you are nobody knows
Where you are
There's no-one at home

We say a lot of things
We see a lot of changes
You always seem to know
Which way the wind is gonna blow
They hang on your every word
Just waiting for some direction
It's all left up to you
They'll follow in everything you do

Don't you get tired of being the rock
The one that everybody know is gonna be alright
No-one sees you're all tied up
You know that you don't fool me

I know you've had enough
You've got your head in the sand and
You won't get up
I know it's plain to see
You're walking around full of contradictions

Look out for number one
You know it's the only solution
They'll see it when you're gone
You always were the chosen one

Night falls rain pours just like my tears
I feel so alone though you're still here
How long can I live on in your world of dreams
My love is so strong I feel in my bones
This was meant to be
Easy make it easy when you need me
You know I'll be there

For once in your life believe in me
Don't think twice won't you just let me be
Your once in a lifetime oh please
Open your eyes
For once in your life

I watch as clouds cross the evening sky
I stand in the shadows of doubt between
You and I
Easy make it easy when you need me
You know I'll be there

For once in your life believe in me
Don't think twice won't you just let me be
Your once in a lifetime oh please
Open your eyes
For once in your life

So here's another story, a tale of love, a tale
Of hate. You talk of hope and glory but I
Don't know if I can wait here all alone
Will you ever know

Hypnotised I'm sliding under
But will I fall I wonder
And would you stay forever
A life of love or just one day

So here's another story, I sit and wait here
All alone. I just can't help but worry, would
You leave me standing on my own. Here all
Alone will you ever know

Hypnotised I'm sliding under
But will I fall I wonder
And would you stay forever
A life of love or just one day

There's a child
In my heart
Feel it beat
Hear it speak
Hold me
Hold me

There's a light
In his eyes
I can see
Deep inside
Hold me
Hold me

See the way he smiles at me
See him talking silently of love
We are one
All fear is gone

Enough is plenty
But some people want for more
They'll leave you empty
What do they do it for
You're feeling mad and don't understand it
You want to even the score
But that's what they do it for

An eye for an eye means we'll all go blind
From rags to riches, they're one of a kind
An eye for an eye means we die inside
Bad men and bitches, they're one of a kind

They see me coming
Of that I think I'm sure
Straight for my heart they'll go
Right through my soul they'll bore
You're feeling mad and don't understand it
You want to even the score
But that's what they do it for

An eye for an eye means we all go blind
From rags to riches, they're one of a kind
An eye for an eye means we die inside
Bad men and bitches, they're one of a kind

An eye for an eye
And we all go blind
An eye for an eye
They're going nowhere
But they really don't care
Don't they know it's so

Betrayed by apathy most every day
With grey skies time and time again
The colour drains the darkest shadows pale
My eyes cloud over once again
A simple answer that I've never found
Some peace of mind to have or hold
A simple answer is it ever found
And do we really want to know
It's just a troubled soul

And as I pace across my bedroom floor
I have a thought I feel a pain
But that's forgotten in a moment
My eyes cloud over once again
The skies cloud over once again
A simple answer that I've never found
Some peace of mind to have or hold
A simple answer is it ever found
And do we really want to know
It's just a troubled soul
Winter in a troubled soul

Betrayed by apathy most every day
With grey skies time and time again
But I won't breathe a word for fear of rain
The skies cloud over once again
My eyes cloud over once again

Dans la nuit
Argentée de l'été
Je laisserai
Une étoile filer
Nous aurons l'éternité des temps a'contempler
L'univers pour nous envoler

Timeless space
Endless night
Happiness and we will fly
You and I

Et mon áme
Loin du feu loin des flammes
Flottera doucement
Dans les cieux
Nous aurons l'éternité de temps a'contempler
L'univers pour nous envoler

Timeless space
Endless night
Happiness and we will fly
You and I

In your slate grey suit and black
brogue shoes little horn rimmed glasses
you've got nothing to lose. But it's just
like a curse when you're the owner of a
hearse. You won't get very far in your long
black car

You make me shiver Henry
Down at the mortuary
You're not just ordinary
And I get all in a dream
Although you bring me roses
I'll have to think it over
You're not quite Casanova
But I get all in a dream

You're there all alone with your skin and
your bones and the man in the back
wants it all painted black

You make me shiver Henry
Down at the mortuary
You're not just ordinary
And I get all in a dream
Even though you bring me roses
I'll have to think it over
You're not quite Casanova
But I get all in a dream

It's so much harder so much harder
Than you thought it would be
You try and you try but you can't see the light
You hide in the day and cry in the night
But don't lose sight

It's so much harder so much harder
Than you thought it would be
You've so many friends but you're always alone
You're trying to swim but you sink like a stone
You're not on your own

Your knees get weak your hands are shaking
You get so scared that you can hardly speak
But hold on tight it's a new surprise
I can see the tears are in your eyes

It's so much harder so much harder
Than you thought it would be
You try and you try but you can't see the light
You hide in the day and cry in the night

Who would have thought this pride and joy
Would end up being such a lonely boy
There goes love here comes hate
You get confused so you watch and you wait
By the time you wake up it's all too late

It's so much harder so much harder
Than you thought it would be
Your knees get weak your hands are shaking
You get so scared that you can hardly speak
But hold on tight it's a new surprise
I can see the tears are in your eyes
This hate is only love in disguise

Let's take a walk in the park
Where we first said "Hello"
Maybe borrow a dream for hour
And sooner or later from nothing forget-me-nots grow
But love grows much faster than flowers
With daisies and roses and red lips and valentine pearls
Ticker tape tears all alone in tortoise shell world

La la la ........
We'll be together for now and forever

Lavender lollipops lilies and bush lullabies
All spin in a circular motion
The logic is lovely but sometimes it wears a disguise
You can find it in all this commotion
Then hope on a motorbike holding a torch to her eye
She says "nothing is easy but everything is going to be alright"

La la la ........
We'll be together for now and forever
La la la ........
We'll be together for now and forever

The stars up above will keep running on love
And we'll be together for now and forever
Forever

You're a no good heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why I let you do these things to me

My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
I'm stuck like glue
Cos I ain't never - I ain't never
I ain't never no no
Loved a man the way that I love you

The way you treat me is a shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Baby you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don't you never never say that we're through
Cos I ain't never - I ain't never
I ain't never no no
Loved a man the way that I love you

I can't sleep at nights
And I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got your hooks in me

I ain't never loved a man
