Not Your Wife

I'm up way past my bedtime
Still looking at your face
I'm caught up in a rapture
in the thrill of the chase
Answer me my questions three
I'd really like to know you
a little better so I can let go
and just be
with your body next to me
Baby I
I think we'd get along just fine
Let me into your life
You don't have to make me your wife
Honey let down your guard
You don't have to make this so hard
You are such a sweet thang
You got a good brain in your head
It feels like an epiphany getting you in my bed
Oh, put your arms around me
You're gonna feel me breaking down
I got that stairway to heaven growing outta my crown
and Baby I
I'd like to keep you up all night
Baby I
I'd like to see you in the light
Let me into your life
You don't have to make me your wife
Honey let down your guard
You don't have to make this so hard
And honey I know
you got a woman back home
Honey I know
you got a woman back home
And I got a man too
But I want you.

Spring Fling

I met you in the springtime
Under skies of blue
It was easy to be lovers
When the world was new
Like a simple accident
Like a trick of gravity
There was suddenly no space
In between you and me
Somewhere somewhere in the heart's domain
the tyranny of distance holds no sway
Somewhere somewhere behind my eyes
I keep the secrets of your body close to mine
The wind was in the east on the day we blew away
Two kites released there was no way to stay
Flying to the sunset, I thought I heard you cry
This is not the end, I'll never say goodbye.
Somewhere somewhere in the heart's domain
the tyranny of distance holds no sway
Somewhere somewhere behind my eyes
I keep the secrets of your body close to mine
Years have passed me by now
In happiness and pain
I dance upon the wind
and the wheel turns again
Though our story ended
Although all stories do
Still there is the springtime
Still I dream of you.
And somewhere somewhere in the open sky
You and I still walk side by side
Somewhere somewhere like a lullaby
I let your memory sing me to sleep at night.

Hourglass
05:32

Time rushes by me on wings of quartz and steel
turns in circles round me till I forget to feel
Seconds turn to minutes, hours turn to days
Don't matter how I count them, I never win the race.
Against time, time I'm taking my
time, time, I'm taking it
I was lost inside a song
the years seem short but the days are long
time, time, taking me
time, time, breaking me
I'm lost inside a song
now the years seem short but the days go on and on.
And sometimes I remember the first days of my life
I was once a daughter, now I'm acting like a wife
and my mirror tells me lies when we discuss my age
I'm smoothing out the lines, I'm pulling out the greys.
Well that's time, time I'm taking my
time, time, I'm taking it
I was lost inside a song
the years seem short but the days are long
time, time, taking me
time, time making me cry
lost inside a song
now the years seem short but the days go on and on
It runs like rick-a-tick rick-a-tick tock
I set my alarm but I don't wake up
now it's been a long time since I've seen your face
been a long time since the good old days
I mean a damn long time since the good old days
so even if it's true, don't tell me that I changed.
The hourglass is running, you can't turn it around.
One day you're a mile high, the next you're underground.
The seconds and the moments, the seasons and the years,
won't matter how you measured, once it disappears.
Well, that's time, time, I'm taking my
time, time, I'm taking it
I was lost inside a song,
the years seem short but the days are long
time, time, taking me
time, time, breaking me
time, like water, deep and strong
the current pulls us all along.

Hello new face, how do you do?
I really couldn't help but notice you,
Walking toward me like you own this room.
Hello new friend, what's your sign?
What's your flavour, what's your design,
can my interest buy some of your time?
Do you speak my language, do you know my name?
Do you speak my language, will you play my game?
Do you speak my language, can you guess my name?
Do you speak my language, will you play my game?
And baby, do you wanna go with me?
Rock and roll with me,
Rattle the bones with me.
I wanna live right now.
Go with me,
Ready to blow with me,
Keep it on the down-low with me.
I wanna live right now.
Now I'm looking for you in every face,
I'd like to talk to you, but I got nothing to say,
Too many heartbeats standing in my way.
I don't know how it started, I don't know how to stop.
Every time you're near me my blood heats up.
Every time you're near me my blood heats up,
every time you're near me my...
Well I'm a deep-sea diver
Top-of-the-liner
I'm a deep-sea diver
Swimming in my raincoat, swimming in my raincoat
Deep-sea diver
Top-of-the-liner
I'm a deep-sea diver
Swimming in my raincoat now.
Baby, do you wanna go with me?
Out of control with me,
In the eye of the storm with me.
I wanna live right now.
On the road with me,
Never grow old with me,
Solid gold with me.
I gotta live, live, live right now.
Live, live, live right now.
Live, live, live right now.

Flint and Tinder
02:56

Flint and tinder, we go dancing in the night
Flint and tinder, we'll explode when we unite
Flint and tinder, stars shoot across the sky
The dusty moonlight shines inside your eyes.
Cremate what does not serve you
Fear not the flame and spark
This death is but a doorway
Into the dark.
Flint and tinder, you caught her and you skinned her.

Love has many faces, they change from day to day.
Love is always moving in mysterious ways.
I see love in kitchens and in carpeted halls.
I learned it from my mama, she says it conquers all.
You can run far, you can run fast
But love is gonna chase you down.
Whether it lasts, whether it fades
Love is gonna make the change.
You can't be surprised when you wake up and find
That love is all around
So if you want to get out, you'll have to fall in.
Now I've seen the world from below and from above.
and I've been everywhere, man. I've been everywhere but love.
Some girls like to ramble, some girls just have to roam.
This girl's been around, love, will you take her home?
You can run far, you can run fast
But love is gonna chase you down.
Whether it lasts, whether it fades
Love is gonna make the change.
You can't be surprised when you wake up and find
That love is all around
So if you want to get out, you'll have to fall in.
I fell in and love surrounded me.
I fell in so deep I couldn't breathe.
I fell in and while my face turned blue
My heart was red, and beating for you.
I know love's not a question of how much or how long
For if love could be answered we wouldn't need so many songs.
Somewhere beyond our anger, sometime after our grief
Somewhere in between the lines, that's where love will be
I fell into that burning ring
I fell in and love was everything
I fell in and my plans fell through
When I lost my way, I found you
So you can run far and you can run fast
But love is gonna chase you down.
Whether it lasts, whether it fades
Love is gonna make the change
So don't be surprised when you wake up and find
That love has changed your life.
No matter what you do, love will follow you
Until the day you choose to fall in.

Fresh Air
03:52

I come from a small prairie town
where the grass grows high and the eagles fly
Yes, I come from a little place
Where everybody knows your name.
I have walked a lonesome road
Only a song to warm my bones
Yes, I come from a little place
I always longed to escape.
Baby, baby, since you came around
I've been turning circles in my sleep
You bloom like a springtime in my mind
You light that fire under my feet
Make me wonder who I'm s'posed to be.
Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere?
I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air.
Ooooo, it could be so sweet.
Ooooo, just you and me.
I'd like to pack up all of my things,
Just put my heart in a bag and my dreams on the wing
Yeah, you, me, and baby makes three
Ooo, that's the life for me
Because every time the seasons change
I feel that highway rumblin' in my veins
to the mountains, to the sea
Ooo, that's the life for me.
Baby, baby, since you came around
I've been turning circles in my sleep
You bloom like a springtime in my mind
You light that fire under my feet
Make me wonder who I'm s'posed to be.
Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere?
I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air.
Ooooo, it could be so sweet.
Ooooo, just you and me.
Well this city life's been breaking me
Keeps me blind cuz I'm too busy
I'd rather be on a dirt road somewhere
feet in the grass, wind in my hair.
Or with one thumb stuck to the side of the road
Just trying to get where I'm trying to go,
Down to the lake baby follow my trail,
knee-deep in the mud, shaking my tail.
Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere?
I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air.
Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere?
I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air.
Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere?
I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air.
Ooooo, it could be so,
Oooo, it could be so,
Ooo, it could be so...
sweet.
