1.Sunrise

 Alba

Sunrise
Sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise
Sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said
Oooo, oooo, oooo
To you

Surprise
surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise
surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

And I said
Oooo, oooo, oooo
To you

And now the night
Will throw its cover down on me again
And if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back

And I said
Oooo, oooo, oooo

To you
 

Alba
alba
Assomiglia al mattino nei tuoi occhi
Ma le lancette segnano le 9.15

Alba
alba
Non ha potuto tentarci anche se ci ha provato
Perché il pomeriggio é già arrivato e andato
E ho detto
hooohooo hooohooo hooohooo
A te

Sorpresa
sorpresa
Non posso trovarla nei tuoi occhi
Ma sono sicuro che é scritta sul mio viso

Sorpresa
sorpresa
Non l'ho mai potuta nascondere
Quando ho visto avevamo passato un'altro giorno
Poi ho detto
hooohoo hooohooo hooohooo
A te

Ora la notte
Abbassa il suo manto
mmm ancora su di me
Ooo e se sono nel giusto
E' il solo modo per portarmi indietro
Hooohooo hooohooo hooohooo
A te
Hooohooo hooohooo hooohooo

2. What Am I to You

 

 What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you

Yeah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies
I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you

 

3.Those sweet words

Queste dolci parole

 What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say

And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody

All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin

Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again

See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody

I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words

Cosa hai detto
Lo so, ti ho sentito mentre lo dicevi
Le mie orecchie non vogliono fermarsi muovendosi
Lunghe sufficientemente per sentire
Queste dolci parole
Cosa hai detto
E adesso il giorno
L'ora la mano è distrutta**
Prima che la notte arrivasse
Potevo appena udire
Queste dolci parole
Parlare come una melodia
Tutto il tuo amore
È un pallone perso
Che sale attraverso il pomeriggio
Finché non urterà la punta di uno spillo
Avanti
Hai avuto tanto tempo per dormire
Perché una pesante luna ti ha svegliato
E tutto ciò che so è che sono felice di vederti ancora
Guarda il mio amore
Come un pallone perso
Che sale attraverso il pomeriggio
E poi appari tu
Cosa hai detto
Lo so, ti ho sentito mentre lo dicevi
Le mie orecchie non vogliono fermarsi muovendosi
Lunghe sufficientemente per sentire
Queste dolci parole
E la tua semplice melodia

  Ho sentito appena
Le tue dolci parole
Parlare come una melodia
Voglio sentire
Queste dolci parole
 

4.Carnival town

 

Round 'n' round
carousel
has got you under it's spell
moving so fast ... but
going nowhere

Up 'n' down
ferris wheel
tell me how does it feel
to be so high ...
looking down here

Is it lonely ?
lonely
lonely

Did the clown
make you smile
he was only your fool for a while
now he's gone back home
and left you wandering there

Is it lonely ?
lonely
lonely

 

5.In the morning

 

can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name
I can't stop myself from fallin'
Fallin' back again

In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon

Dark like the shady corners
Inside a violin
Hot like to burn my lips
I know I can't win

In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon

I tried to quit you but I'm too weak
Wakin' up without you I can hardly speak at all

My girlfriend tried to help me
To get you off my mind
She tried a little tea and sympathy
To get me to unwind

In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon

Funny how my favorite shirt
Smells more like you than me
Bitter traces left behind
Stains no one can see

In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon

You're gonna put me in an early grave
I know I'm your slave whenever you call

I can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name
I can't stop myself from fallin'
Fallin' back again

Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again

 

6.Be here to love me

 

Our eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,
I want you to stay
and hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They've left me with nothin' to say
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today

 

7Creepin in

 

There's a big ol' hole
That's gone right through the sole
Of this old shoe
And the water on the ground
Ain't got no place else it found
So it's only got one thing left to do

Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun
Won't stop until it's done
Sneaking in

There's a silver moon
That came just a little soon
For me to bare
Shines brightly on my bed
And the shadows overhead
Won't let me sleep as long as they're there

Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun
Won't stop until it's done
Sneaking in

There's a big ol' hole
That goes right through my sole
And that ain't nothin' new
So long as you're around
And got no place else you've found
There's only one thing left to do

Creep on in
Creep on in
And once you have begun
Don't stop until you're done
Sneaking in

 

8.Toes

 

The current is strong from what I've heard
It'll wisk you down the stream
But there never seems to be much time

My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water

Daydreamed on the bank again
I was swimming with the fish
And I thought this time that it may be true

But My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water

Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough to step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move

Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough to step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move

The spoiled sun up over there
It always has to have its way
And I know that the river's there to shelter me

My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water

 

9. Humble me

 

Went out on a limb
Gone too far
Broken down at the side of the road
Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up

Baby's in the backseat
Still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to

What do you say
When it's all gone away ?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to

You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
Please, please, please forgive me

Baby Teresa got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say

Heard you kicked the bottle
And helped to build the church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have somebody keeping you company ?

What do you say
When it's all gone away ?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when I want it to

You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
Please, please, please forgive me

 

10.Above ground

 

Underground I'm waiting
Just below the crowded avenue
Watchin' red lights fading out of view

Oh the air feels heavy
Everything just passes by
And I think that I'm a little shy

Meet me outside above ground
I see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday

Drawing lines above my head
But the fan keeps spinning over me
Just my thoughts to keep me company

Now I know I'm ready
Pour the night into a glass
Can I sip it slow and make it last?

Meet me outside above ground
I see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday

Meet me outside above ground
I see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday

 

11.The longe way home

 

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I can't hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home

I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
We can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home

 

12.The prettiest thing

 

The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightning from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
With somewhere to be

So why does it seem
Like a picture
Hanging up on someone else's wall
Lately I just haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind

I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I know

The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
Looks like home to me

I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing

 

13.Don' t miss you at all

 

As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin', laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile
So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory

Out my window, I see lights going dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand

And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand

As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
