spiker's blog: "Pour elle"

Some people think that they're the only one with a capacity to love or to feel sorrow or pain.  We all can!

Hardly worth getting on my soapbox... :/

*leaves - takes soapbox with me*

All We Are – Kim Mitchell

All we are is all that love brings
We spin as the highest star spins
We get hearts on fire and in love
And sometimes we're too blind to see

And I know now that love sometimes stings
When you're waiting for a telephone ring
And you feel like a lone star spinning
That might as well give up burning

Don't ask me if I'm still in love
I'm hit by this love song I sing
Cause you made me feel such a long way away

I know now that love sometimes stings
I've waited for your telephone rings
And you made me feel such a long way away

All we are is all that love brings
We spin as the highest star spins
We get hearts on fire and in love
And sometimes we're too blind to see

Don't ask me if I'm still in love
I'm hit by this love song I sing
Cause you made me feel such a long way away

I know now that love sometimes stings
I've waited for your telephone rings
Cause you made me feel such a long way away

Song For A Winter’s Night

The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you

The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me

If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you

The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my window pane
Where webs of snow are drifting

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with you
To be once again with you 

I love you. You know I do

Yea, it's perfect...well, it isn't and it is

And I've been meaning to call you

I've been meaning to call you

Then I do

I've been meaning to call you

I've been meaning to call you

Then I do

Phone rings once

Phone rings twice

Phone rings three times

I am of you

You are in everything I do

I do

I trust you, that makes you true

I don't care if it isn't the way it is

I've been meaning to call you

I've been meaning to call you

Then I do

Phone rings once

Phone rings twice

Phone rings three times

I am of you

You are always in view

Yea, I am my will

But you are in everything I do

I do. I do. I do

In the Day Eraser's dark of night

In the Excited States, gone in plain sight

Under the wave or by cavelight

I lose, things change, but never in your eyes

I am of you

You are always in view

I am my will

You are in everything I do 

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind

I want a love that's right but right is only half of what's wrong. I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long. Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe, baby, I'm in love with you. I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now, I'm telling you. You know you pick me up from where some try to drag me down And when I see your smile replacing every thoughtless frown. Got me escaping from this zoo, baby, I'm in love with you. I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you. If I grow up I'll be a singer wearing rings on every finger. Not worrying what they or you say I'll live and love and maybe someday Who knows, baby, you may comfort me. I may appear to be imperfect, my love is something you can't reject I'm changing faster than the weather, If you and me should get together Who knows baby, you may comfort me That love of yours, to miss that love is something I'd hate. I'll make an early start, I'm making sure that I'm not late. For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue, baby, I'm in love with you. I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you. I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you.

It Don't Come Easy

(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
Now you don't have to shout or leap about
You can even take it easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow

I don't want much, I only want for trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better

It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy
It don't come, oohh no, you know it don't come easy

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
As you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even take it easy
Please remember peace is what we make it
It's here within your reach, you are big enough to take it

I don't ask for much, I only want trust
You know it don't come easy
This love of mine is growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy

Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath the stars I'll greet you
There beneath the stars I'll leave you
Before you go of your own free will

Go gently

Underneath the stars you met me
Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
At least you'll go of your own free will

Go gently

Here beneath the stars I'm mending
And here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I'm here again, the stars befriending
They come and go of their own free will

Go gently
Go gently

Underneath the stars you met me
And underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me
They come and go of their own free will

Go gently
Go gently
Go gently

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again.
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defences down
All those wounds that I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer
The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away...

Summer's going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away...
The innocence slips away

If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost

When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost

And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
[And] if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost
