HERE WITH ME
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Oh I am what I am, I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been
Oh I am what I am, I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
Until you're resting here
And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
Oh I am what I am, I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
Until you're resting here
And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
HUNTER
With one light on, in one room
I know you're up, when I go home
With one small step, upon the stair
I know your look, when I get there
If you were a king, up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
The unread book, and painful look
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin
Oh look what, the cat's brought in
If you were a king, up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
Let me leave
For the crown you've placed upon my head
Feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you
But I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking
I want to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
If you were a king, up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
DON'T THINK OF ME
So you're with her and not with me
I hope she's sweet and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
A little angel beside you
So you're with her and not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me
So you're with her and not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel?
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me
And it's too late, and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late, and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late, and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Does it bother you now, all the mess I made?
Does it bother you now, the clothes you told me not to wear?
Does it bother you now, all the angry games we played?
Does it bother you now, when I'm not there?
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me
And it's to late, and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad
Don't think of me
MY LOVER'S GONE
My lover's gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn
And as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
No more his song
The tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone
While I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My lover's gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn
And as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
ALL YOU WANT
I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side
And although sleep leaves me behind
There's nowhere I'd rather be
And now our bed is oh so cold
My hands feel empty, no one to hold
I can sleep what side I want
It's not the same with you gone
Oh if you'd come home
I'd let you know that
All you want is right here in this room
All you want
And all you need is sitting here with you
All you want
It's been three years, one night apart
But in that night, you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone
If those seeds had not been sown
Oh you could come home
And you would know that
All you want is right here in this room
All you want
And all you need is sitting here with you
All you want
I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin
Can leave the way you just came in
Send my regards to her
I hope you've found that
All you want is right here in this room
All you want
And all you need is sitting here with you
All you want
I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side
THANK YOU
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
That I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
And oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
And oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
And oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
HONESTLY OK
I just want to feel, safe in my own skin
I just want to be, happy again
I just want to feel, deep in my own world
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day
If I was safe in my own skin
Then I wouldn't feel, lost and so frightened
But this is today
And I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
ISOBEL
I thought it was funny when you missed the train
When I rang you at home they said you'd left yesterday
I thought it was strange when your car was found
By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around
Dear Isobel
I hope you're well and
What you've done is right
Oh it's been such Hell I wish you well
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last
When it's last day leaving
And I'm helping it pass by loving you more
And who he would become all the things he'd have done
Would he have loved you and not let you down
And would he be stronger than his father
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone
Dear Isobel
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such Hell I wish you well
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last
When it's last day leaving
And I'm helping it pass by loving you more
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last
When it's last day leaving
And I'm helping it pass by loving, loving you more
SLIDE
Even on a day like this
When you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring
Anyone who knows you anymore
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Staring at the same four walls
Have you tried to help yourself?
The rings around your eyes
They don't hide that you need to get some rest
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't.. slide
Don't slide
Slide, slide...
Even at a time like this
When the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you
But it's happened to us all
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't.. slide
Don't slide
Slide, slide...
You brought this on yourself
And it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
And dream of something else instead
Don't slide
Don't.. slide
Don't slide
Slide, slide...
I'M NO ANGEL
If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I'd be rich beyond my dreams
I'm sorry for my weary life
I know I'm not perfect
But I can smile and I hope that you see
This heart behind my tired eyes
If you tell me that I can't
I will, I will, I'll try all night
And if I say I'm coming home
I'll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I'm alive
And I hope that you trust this heart
Behind my tired eyes
I'm no angel
But please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel
But does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel
But please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel
But does that mean that I won't fly
I know I'm not around each night
And I know I always think I'm right
I can believe that you might look around
Coz I'm no angel
But please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel
But does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel
But please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel
But does that mean that I won't fly
My Life
What I choose to do
Is of no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat may not be my home
But I will last on my own
Coz it's me, and my life
It's my life (it's my life)
Oh the world has sat in the palm of my hand
Not that you'd see
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you
And all those things you never do
Coz it's me, and my life
It's my life (it's my life)
TAKE MY HAND (BONUS TRACK)
Touch my skin and tell me what you're thinking
Take my hand and show me where we're going
Lie down next to me look into my eyes
And tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing
So sit on top of the world
And tell me how you're feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone if I'm lying to you
See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I'm telling you
Give your trust to me
And look into my heart and show me
Show me what you're doing
So sit on top of the world
And tell me how you're feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone if I'm lying to you
Take your time if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me
You believe me...
Feel the sun on your face
And tell me what you're thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue
And show me how it tastes
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone if I'm lying to you
Take your time and if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me
You believe me...
WORTHLESS
I know what you came for
And I know when you'll leave
You came for my heart
And it's lost to me
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're leaving
And I'll just let it be
I am left with nothing
And now you're lost to me
For I can't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're waiting
To give me time to breathe
Before you take my heart now
Just give up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless, as worthless can be
For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a fool of us
You know it's worthless, as worthless can be
It's worthless, it's worthless
Can't be...
