Over the sea and far away She’s waiting like an iceberg Waiting to change But she’s cold inside She wants to be like the water All the muscles tighten in her face Buries her soul in one embrace They’re one and the same Just like water The fire fades away Most of every day Is full of tired excuses But it’s too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You’re close enough to see that You’re the other side of the world to me On comes the panic light Holding on with fingers and feelings alike But the time has come To move along The fire fades away... Can you help me Can you let me go And can you still love me When you can’t see me anymore The fire fades away... Are you blind Blind to me trying to be kind Volunteering for your firing line Waiting for one precious sign The flicker of a smile You should try it just once in a while Maybe it’s not quite your style It’s simply too easy to do And you might not see it through Are you proud To have founded a brand new behaviour With hatred and hurt as your saviour But nobody’s choosing to follow So you choke back the tears and you swallow Men who have ruined your life You consume them with minimum strife But now you have got indigestion The antacid comes as a question Find yourself another place to fall Find yourself up against another brick wall See yourself as a fallen angel Well I don’t see no holes in the road but you Find another place to fall Are you alive Is there a young woman hiding inside Does she know that we’re trying to help her Is she totally frozen with fear Can she feel can she hear can she see? If you let her come out for a day She might even like it and stay But it’s gonna take you to invite her Coz you seem so determined to spite her Find yourself... There isn’t much more I can say For I don’t understand the delay You’re asking for friendly advice And remaining in permanent crisis Affection is yours if you ask But first you must take off your mask When your back’s turned I’ve decided I’ll throw it away just like I did Find yourself... Under this national rain cloud I’m getting soaked to the skin Trying to find my umbrella But I don’t know where to begin And it’s simply irrational weather Can’t even hear myself think Constantly bailing out water But still feel like I’m gonna sink Coz I’m under the weather Just like the world So sorry for being so bold When I turn out the light You’re out of sight Although I know that I’m not alone Feels like home You say you feel like a natural person You haven’t got nothing to hide So why do you feel imperfection Cut like a sword in your side Coz you’re under the weather... Just like the world And I need somebody to hold When I turn out the light... My heart knows me better than i know myself So i'm gonna let it do all the talking I came across a place in the middle of nowhere With a big black horse and a cherry tree I felt a little fear upon my back I said don't look back just keep on walking But the big black horse said look this way He said 'hey lady will you marry me?' But i said no no You're not the one for me My heart hit a problem in the early hours So I stopped it dead for a beat or two But i cut some cord and i shouldn't have done it And it wont forgive me after all these years So i sent to a place in the middle of nowhere With a big black horse and a cherry tree But it wont come back coz it's oh so happy And now i've got a hole for the world to see It said no no You're not the one for me Big black horse and a cherry tree I can't quite get there coz my heart forsaken me I don’t want to be second best Don’t want to stand in line Don’t want to fall behind Don’t want to get caught out Don’t want to do without And the lesson I must learn Is that I’ve got to wait my turn Looks like I got to be hot & cold I got to be taught and told Got to be good as gold But perfectly honestly I think it would be good for me Coz it’s a hindrance to my health If I’m a stranger to myself Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes Bring me to my knees Well I must be my own master Or a miniature disaster will be It will be the death of me I don’t have to raise my voice Don’t have to be underhand Just got to understand That it’s gonna be up and down It’s gonna be lost and found And I can’t take to the sky Before I like it on the ground Miniature disasters... Well I must be my own master... I’ve got to run a little faster... I need to know I’ll last if a little Miniature disaster hits me It could be the death of me I was happy in my harbour When you cut me loose Floating on a ocean And confused Winds are whipping waves up Like skyscrapers And the harder they hit me The less I seem to bruise Oh when I Find the controls I’ll go where I like I’ll know where I want to be But maybe for now I’ll stay right here On silent sea A fire burns Water comes You cool me down When I’m cold inside You are warm and bright You know you are so good for me With your child’s eyes You are more than you seem You see into space I see in your face The places you’ve been The things you have learned They sit with you so beautifully You know there’s no need to hide away You know I tell the truth We are just the same I can feel everything you do Hear everything you say Even when you’re miles away Coz I am me the universe & you Just like stars burning bright Making holes in the night We are building bridges You know... When you’re on your own I’ll send you a sign Just so you know I am me the universe & you I’m trying to put this thing to bed I’ve drugged it in its sleep There isn’t many memories I’m comfortable to keep This ball keeps rolling on It’s heading for the streets Keep expecting you to send for me The invitation never comes Each time I turn around There’s nothing there at all So tell me why I feel like I’m up against a wall But maybe it’s a false alarm And all the answers sound the same Just colours bleeding into one That doesn’t have a name Maybe I can’t see Maybe it’s just me Now the curtain’s coming up The audience is still I’m struggling to cater for The space I’m meant to fill And distance doesn’t care Each time I turn around... Maybe it’s a false alarm... I’m trying to put this thing to bed I drugged it in its sleep Remember what you said Are you comfortable to keep it? Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world You can see she’s a beautiful girl She’s a beautiful girl And everything around her is a silver pool of light The people who surround her feel the benefit of it It makes you calm She holds you captivated in her palm Suddenly I see This is what I want to be Suddenly I see Why the hell it means so much to me I feel like walking the world Like walking the world You can hear she’s a beautiful girl She’s a beautiful girl She fills up every corner like she’s born in black and white Makes you feel warmer when you’re trying to remember What you heard She likes to leave you hanging on a word Suddenly I see... And she’s taller than most And she’s looking at me I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower A big strong tower She got the power to be The power to give The power to see Suddenly I see... So you think it’s funny That you keep calling me all of the time Every day Oh honey Don’t want to be following & falling behind If you’re gonna be walking away And I don’t know Why I wouldn’t follow Wouldn’t follow You got me looking up Even when I’m falling down You got me crawling out of m y skin You got me wondering why I am underneath this big old sky Stopping the loving getting in Now you say it’s easy That you been falling for all of my charm And getting lost in my smile Never ceases to amaze me When I’m chancing my arm That I still do it with style And now I hope You’ll be with me tomorrow With me tomorrow You got me... It isn’t very difficult to see why You are the way you are Doesn’t take a genius to realise That sometimes life is hard It’s gonna take time But you’ll just have to wait You’re gonna be fine But in the meantime Come over here lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer baby Coz you’ll heal over Heal over Heal over someday And I don’t wanna hear you tell yourself That these feelings are in the past You know it doesn’t mean they’re off the shelf Because pain is built to last Everybody sails alone But we can travel side by side Even if you fail You know that no one really minds Come over here lady... Don’t hold on but don’t let go I know it’s so hard You’ve got to try to trust yourself I know it’s so hard, so hard Come over here lady... As I walk away I look over my shoulder To see what I’m leaving behind Pictures of puzzles And wishes on eyelashes fail Oh, how do I show All the love inside my heart For this is all new And I’m feeling my way through the dark I used to talk With honest conviction Of how I predicted my world Gonna leave it to stargazers Tell me what your telescope says Oh, what is in store for me now It’s coming apart For this is all new And I’m feeling my way through the dark Trying to find a light on somewhere Trying to find a light on somewhere I’m finding I’m falling In love with the dark over here Oh, what do I know, I don’t care Where I start For my troubles are few As I’m feeling my way through the dark Through the dark Yes I’m feeling my way through the dark
