I'll be waiting in the car
Don't forget the camera
If you wouldn't mind, could you find my yellow shoes
I think they're under the stairs
Fa la la la fa la
Through the hills and country side
Waving at the passers by
There's old Tom in a coat and tie
Looking every ounce the prince
His bike up against the fence
Fa la la la fa la
Fa la la la fa la
We drove to the sea
Where water is green
And the clouds and the blue
Through shadows of me and you
The shells that we found in the sand
The moment we held in our hands
You were making me laugh, it was easier then
When
But then again
I'll be dozing over there
Cozy in my folding chair
Watching seabirds in the air
as they circle the sun
Seabirds they suffer no one
Fa la la la fa la
Fa la la la fa la
We drove to the sea
Where water is green
And the clouds and the blue
Through shadows of me and you
The shells that we found in the sand
The moment we held in our hands
You were making me smile, it was easier then
When
But then again
All of the questions in my head
I'll paint them red
Put them to bed
All of the voices in my mind
Hard and unkind
Leave them behind (leave them behind)
As we drove to the sea
And water is green
And the clouds and the blue
Through shadows of me and you
The shells that we found in the sand
The moment we held in our hands
You were making me laugh
It was easier then
When
But then again
I'll be waiting in the car
Don't forget the camera
If you wouldn't mind, could you find my yellow shoes
I think they're under the stairs
Fa la la la fa la
Fa la la la fa la
Fa la la la fa la
Fa la la la fa la
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
I won't live like a paper man
And step into life, the joy that I had
I won't fold like a paper man
To which I've been told by a paper-white plan
Hear me
Hear me
When I stay, I won't play for long
As long as I have a song, I'll sing
A song, I'll sing
Here in my mind I am
Here in my mind I am
Here in my mind I am
Here in my mind I am
I won't live like a paper man
Step into life, the joy that I had
I won't fold like a paper man
To which I've been told by a paper-white plan
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
I won't live like a paper man
And step into life, the joy that I had
I won't fold like a paper man
To which I've been told by a paper-white plan
Hear me
Hear me
When I stay, I won't play for long
As long as I have a song, I'll sing
A song, I'll sing
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I am
Here in my heart I stand
Here in my heart I stand
Why so many people always run around
Looking for a happiness that can't be found
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
For everyone resplendent in the wealth of kings
Thousands upon thousands only suffering
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I want to be a part of the light
Please let me be a part of the light
I want to be a part of the light
I choose to be a part of the light
Our light
Why so many people only close their hearts
Turn their eyes as others' lives are torn apart
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
When kindness is the greatest gift that one can share
Why choose hate to subjugate your fellow man
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I want to be a part of the light
Please let me be a part of the light
I want to be a part of the light
I choose to be a part of the light
Oh, light
Oh, light
Oh, light
Oh, light
Since the first star split the black
Split the silence, too
Since the first dawn of this Earth
Founded clothed in blue
Since the first bird song was sung
Is through the air and float
It's been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
Since the first thrust of the sea
Life spent upon the shore
Since the first breath filled these lungs
Left them wanting more
Since the first your lips met mine
Soft as morning dew
It's been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
Let me out of the darkness
Feed my heart an ancient lie
Kept me close, kept me honest
I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Since the first star split the black
The very light itself was moved
Since the first word moved the air
One syllable rang true
Since the first your eyes found mine
It was all at once I knew
It's been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
Stay for a little while
Share a glass beside the fire
Time goes by so fast, so fast
Let's make it last
Stay, stay and talk awhile
Share a laugh, share a smile
Days go by so fast, so fast
Let's make it last
Years they roll and fall away
All the colors slowly fade to gray
Stay or watch another round
See the stars fading faster now
Why not wait and watch the sun
Circle back around again
Oh, the hour glass is cruel and
The moment given is the moment spent
Stay for a little while
Share a glass beside the fire
Time goes by so fast, so fast
Let's make it last
Let's make it last
Let's make it last
Oh, the years they roll and fall away
All the colors slowly fade to gray
If I could paint my delusion
I would paint it in colors bold
If I could capture illusion
I would hang it up on my wall
If I could be something other
I would slip right inside your skin
See the world as another
See the world as I never did
I thought as black as blood is blue
It's all over the radio
My heart as black as blood is blue
It needs no place to go
No way to hide from the light of electric soul
The light of an electric soul
Something wrong 'bout your praises
Something wrong 'bout them threatening
Hold your hand like a razor
Call it love but it's cutting me
I thought as black as blood is blue
It's all over the radio
My heart as black as blood is blue
It's giving me no place to go
There's nowhere to run
From the light of electric soul
The light of an electric soul
Here I, here I
I thought as black as blood is blue
It's all over the radio
My heart as black as blood is blue
It's giving me no place to go
There's nowhere to hide
From the light of electric soul
Nowhere to hide to hide
From the light of electric soul
Nowhere to hide to hide
From the light of electric soul
The light of electric soul
The light of electric soul
The light of electric soul
Tell me what you're feeling
I can take the pain
Tell me that you mean it
That you won't leave again
Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
I can't make you see
If you don't by now
I'll get through these chains
Somehow, somehow
Take it if you want it
I'm so tired I just don't care
Can't you see how much you hurt me?
It's like I wasn't there
Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
I can't make you see
If you don't by now
I'll get through these chains
Somehow, somehow
Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
Where is the light
Where is the light that used to shine
Hey, where is the light
Where is the light that used to shine on me
All of us asking the questions and yet no answer arrives
Where is the joy
Where is the joy that I used to see
Hey, yes, where is the joy
Where is the joy I used to feel
All of us asking the questions and yet no answer arrives
All of us asking the questions and yet no answer arrives
Where is the love
Where is the love I used to feel
Hey, hey, hey where is the love
Where is the love that I used to feel
All of us asking the questions and yet no answer arrives
All of us asking the questions and yet no answer arrives
Where is the light
Where is the light
Where is the light that shines on me
That shines on me
That shines on me
I could turn any day into gray
Let me stay always beside you
I could burn, I could break any day
Let me stay, ohhh
Beside you
Goodbye blue sky
Blue sky, goodbye
Let me breathe
Let me walk in fields of green
Let me be always beside you
I could fade into black
Turn my back
Let me be always beside you
Goodbye blue sky
Blue sky, goodbye
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
I could turn any day into gray
Let me stay always beside you
Beside you, beside you, beside you
