Time before you open up your eyes
Time before you open up your eyes
Time before you open up your eyes
Time before you open up your eyes
You know how to meet me there
Only you know how to meet me there
You know how to meet me there
Only you know how to meet me there
Flowers from the garden
Blooming in my hand
Taller than our father
Blowing in the wind
Water from the ocean
Rolling in my bed
Tell me how a daughter
Could ever understand
Tell me how a daughter
Could ever understand

Time was never easy on you
Time was never easy on me, too
Five, six, seven eight
I’ve counted all the ways
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
You wake up to the morning bells
Put your long arms around me
Have you ever thought of dancing
Feeling fine
Have you ever thought of dancing
As moving into time
Time was never easy on you
Time was never easy on me, too
Five, six, seven, eight
You leave here now you’ll still be late
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Just listen to the morning bells
Tell the people outside
We are going out tonight
1234
Have you ever thought of dancing
Feeling time
Have you ever thought of dancing
As swimming with the tide
Put your long arms around me
Put your long arms around

Amor Amor Amor

Amor, Amor, Amor, Amor
Era o que eu tinha para ti
Era uma história
De uma vida lá fora
Era verdade, era amor
Amour, Amour, Amour, Amour
C’est ce que j’avais pour toi
C’était t’une histoire
D’une vie ailleurs,
C’était vrai, c’était l’amour
Oh Love, oh love, oh love, love
That’s what I had for you
It was a story
Of a life overseas
It was real, it was love
Amor, era eternidade
Fruto da vontade
Louco e sem saudade
Corre em fuga à liberdade
(L’amour était l'éternité
Fruit de la volonté
Fou, sans envie
Court en fuite, vers sa liberté)
(Love was eternity
Fruit of the will
Mad without longing
Running towards freedom)

This is it? I came a long way
The fire is out, but I can feel the flame
What tangles inside of me?
The question remains
The question remains
The question remains
And how come you never get mad?
Put your feelings outside
How come you never get angry?
How come you never get sad?
Oh I believe I can master that
Oh I believe I can
This is now, who I am
Stretching into a another shape I don’t quite understand
Looking up at the moon, that used to hold my fate
That old dream again
But the question remains
The question remains
The question
The question remains
The question
(April came and lent the land her rain)
(August ran to warm your hands again)
(Then Autumn’s here and nothing really changed)
(Another year, the question still remains)
How come you never get mad?
Put your feelings outside
How come you never get angry?
How come you never get sad?
Oh I believe I can master that
Oh I believe I can
Oh I believe I can master that
Oh I believe I can

Kiss me now or never
Hold me close or let me go
I just want to feel your love again
I would almost give you everything
But it is the time that I let you know
Or you hold me tight, or you better let me go
Oh I know how hard you’ve tried
To live all your alternative lives
But you loved me once before
Could you love me once again
And carry me, into one dream, until the end,
Just asking
Is it now or never
Hold me close or let me go
I just want to feel your love again
I just want to feel the love again and again
Could take many times
Could take many lives
To break through that fear
We just hold our hands, and understand and kiss and try again
Could take many times
Could take many lives
To break through that fear
We just hold our hands, and understand and kiss and make it real
Kiss me now or never
Hold me close or let me go

Learning My Ways
04:30

I’m learning my ways again
The storm comes back and back again
I see it roll across the lake
Oh but I can only wait
N’these buildings they planted here
Though storms come back, back every year
And my only shelter
Is your hands over my hand
Old storm stay away
Oh no no, don’t come my way
Our love is American
Not just like the movies
Our love is a miracle
Growing wild through the concrete
We drove and drove forever on
That winding road into my heart
And somehow in the desert
All the flowers coming out
Old storm feed the ground
Let the pain teach us how
As we grow from pieces
Just running away
Our love is American
Not just like the movies
Our love is a miracle
Growing wild through the concrete

Lock Me Inside

Lock me inside
I am tired of being lonely
The more that I try
The more I get the feeling
Its time, its time I go down
Its time, its time I go down
Lock me inside
Arrest me to my own mind
The more that I try
The more I get this feeling
This time, this time around
Its ok, its time to go down
Bridge
Too many rivers to the sea
Too many lovers in my heart
Blue, curry, lilac, rust and ecru
There’s too many, too many of you
Na na na na na
This time I’m gonna be right here
Na na na na na
Just feel the water cold and clear
Na na na na no
This time I’m gonna
Just feel the water
(Time to slow down)

Lovers In The Street

All my life, all my life,
I’ve been waiting for you
And all this time, all this time,
I’ve been saving for you
A dream of you
A dream come true
Lovers in the street
They don’t give hands anymore
Baby when we meet
I won’t take my hand off of yours
Gently close your eyes
Let time crystallize
Oh I have you now
All the light, (the light, the light) all this light
Shinning on you
All this light, all this light
Shining from you
A dream of you
A dream come true
Lovers in the street
They don’t give hands anymore
Baby when we meet
I won’t take my hand off of yours
Gently close your eyes
Let time crystallize
Oh I have you now
Gently close your eyes
Let time crystallize
Oh I have you now
You know I have you now

Hand Kisser

The lines you wrote in Portuguese
Of life and love and overseas
The lines I traced, on your face
Your hands, your touch, your melody
Your way of sitting next to me
The way I miss it everyday
Your feet were cold and tired
I was too young to build the fire
So I sang for you, you cried most of the time
I keep it all in me
I keep it
I keep it all for me
I keep
Seeing you, seeing you, I can see you
See you, I can see you
The way you stood, the way you smiled,
The chicken coop, the gate, the tile,
The way you looked, when you talked about him
Your eyes would light, your voice would ring
You saw my art, my song, my dream
And everything, from the corner of the yard
I keep it all in me
I keep it
I keep it all for me
I keep
Seeing you, seeing you, I can see you
See you, I can see you
My hand-kisser, I kissed your hands
My hand-kisser, I kissed your hands
My hand-kisser, I kissed your hands
See you, see you
I can

Read My Mind

I started smoking
Just to hang around you then
I started playing
Just to hear the sound of you singing
Like you know
You know how to read my mind
Don’t you?
Yeah you know
You know how to read my mind
I started walking down
The streets we used to run
Its all as it was
But somehow its like everything’s gone
And I can’t tell what
But you know
You know how to read my mind
Don’t you?
Yeah you know
You know how to break my heart in two
Yeah you know
You know how to read my mind
Oh the time it takes
To recreate,
Hold hands,
Forget, and love again
