On The Sea Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close
Now I will reach for the stars
Because Oh my love, that's where you are

[Chorus:]
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea

Waves crash break the silence
Gulls cry a song of lament
I walk on through the stormy night
The air cries flash of anger
Dark night enshrouds the stranger all alone without you
Now I will reach for the stars
Because Oh my love, that's where you are

[Chorus]

No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touching my face
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close
Now I will reach for the stars
Because Oh my love, that's where you are

[Chorus]

Goodbye Again Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I'm on the outside, looking in
What do I see?
So much of this left to begin
Where would I be?
I'm on the outside, looking in
Cover me through this night

Guess I don't know what's, left to say
But hear me out
All of the dreams of, yesterday
Keep breaking me down
What's on the outside, can you say
Or am I getting carried away

It's in your mind
It's in your eyes
So it's goodbye again
It's way past time
For one last try
So it's goodbye again
Goodbye... again

I'm getting on, what's the use
You know how I get
I can't decide which is the truth
At least not yet
I got the feeling, it's you
What can be said, alone in this room
No...

It's in your mind
It's in your eyes
So it's goodbye again
It's way past time
For one last try

Who wants you now?
Maybe somebody else
I'll wait around
Maybe you'll forget you were ever here
Maybe forget you were ever, never here

I'm on the outside, looking down
What do I see?
So much of this cold, in the ground
Where would i be?
On the outside, looking down
Cover me before you go

It's in your mind
It's in your eyes
So it's goodbye again
It's way past time
For one last try
So it's goodbye again

Your falling out,
I'm falling in
So it's goodbye again
It's way past time
For one last try
So it's goodbye... again
So it's goodbye again

Willingly Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

When I was just a young boy
My mama said to me
Don't fall in love willingly

Now that is all forgotten
Unwilling memory

But if you change your mind
I will walk the line
I'll follow....
Willingly

We used to talk about it
But now it seems the wind has blown your way
And I have come to doubt it
That you and I will ever love again

'Cause good enough is one thing
That I will never be
And I admit it all
Willingly

And now the times are changing
The things I've seen before don't look the same
My life is rearranging
But falls apart with whispers of your name

And though I swear to love you
With all sincerity
I'll slowly fade away
Willingly

The sun is on my shoulders
Perhaps it's colder for I've lost some pride
Or maybe it's the absence
Of all the joy I felt right by your side

And when the storm was over
I found your memory
And I will hold it warm
Willingly

Liberty Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

We met as two total strangers
As many lovers often do
But who could have ever seen the danger
I didn't know I'd fall in love with you

You are this lonely picker's daydream
Like a wish that's wishing to come true
So Liberty just know I'm waiting
To share this love song with you

[Chorus]
But do you think about me when you're lying in his bed
Won't you take the time to explain
Do you ever think you'd rather be with me instead
Or do you only think about me when it rains

We shared some special nights together
We said we'd watch the morning rise
But when the sun was all around us
Wasn't nothing I hadn't seen in your eyes

I try so hard to keep it hidden
But I am hurting deep inside
For every time I've seen you smile
There are two times that I have cried

[Chorus]

Now and forever my love will be the same
I will be waiting underneath the pouring rain.

Angel Without Wings Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

We started out so brand new darling
But now it seems that nothing can change your mind
I have seen your city lights
But have you seen my country skies

Watch the world go twirling by

And perhaps it's common fears
Or uncommon hearts
That makes us insincere
And torn apart

But when will I learn
Love is just my fantasy disguised

[Chorus]
An angel without wings can hardly fly
And love without a dream it will not survive

But now I can see
I am lucky just to have a heart
Discovery will knock you on your knees
And lonely tears can only hope to freeze
Yeah, they'll freeze and fall on down

And so our sun is sinking low
And your spirit's close behind
But there's something you should know now
That you're on my mind

But where are you now
When will you share your winter nights

[Chorus]

No it won't survive

Great Divide Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Keep on looking, find a way out
Get a hold on hoping, scream and shout
A new addiction, another show
Truth and fiction, well I did not know

[Chorus:]
I didn't know you and you didn't know me
Broken branches and a family tree
Blown over this wind is wide
A lone loner's, and our great divide

Running forward, warning signs
Looking backward at the yellow lines
All the great suggestions and the horoscope
Stubborn lessons, and we could not cope

[Chorus]

And I know it's not forever
This time it's not the same
Why can't we live together
And share more than a name

In the name of friendship and the mask of love
Careful not to trip on the kid gloves
Or the cooking apron, and the wedding gown
Fabric so thin that it ties us down

[Chorus]

Love's Light Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Well I know that no one is to blame
But do you feel my strength when you call my name
'Cause I feel yours inside
How could this be more right

And I have traveled through my mind
I've given all my dreams up to time
Tell me what else can I do
We'll I'm nothing without you

But you, you just don't know what to do
I guess I'll have to lose my love for you
These feelings cannot stay
'Cause I'm withering away

I'm withering away
Withering away
And teardrops are all that I can give
But do you really know what true love is
Don't let it slip away
This doesn't happen everyday

And you'd have no problem without me
So take this song as my apology
But you have closed my eyes

And love's light shall never rise
Shall never rise on me
Shall never rise
It shall never rise

And I'm scared I'll never hold you again
But I know that no one is to blame.

Famous Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Oh I know
That things are gonna change
The only thing for certain
Is that nothing stays the same
But all I want
Is love from you
Give me your hand
To hold on to
And if tears fill your eyes
Listen to my music it's no surprise

[Chorus:]
I don't want to be famous in life
I don't want to be famous in the world
I just want to be famous
Famous
I want to be famous in your heart

Oh I know
The wind is gonna blow
And in the winter
There's sure to be snow
But with the warmth of your smile
And the sun of your face
Shine on me in the darkness
With your love and grace
And if time hides my eyes
Listen to my music and recognize

[Chorus]

And if time hides my eyes
Listen to my music
Listen to my music and recognize

[Chorus]

We Are Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Take a listen through the window
Take a lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know

Time enough to get a good one
Though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
Do you know

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know how
And I don't know where
We are we are

And I don't know why
I don't know if
We are we are

Seven days and not a return
Seven lives and not a thing learned
Take a lover on the highway
Do you know?

'Cause I am sleeping on a time bomb
And I am waiting for the light to come
You and I could get away now
Do you know

[Chorus]

I get up sometimes
Like somebody else
Am I just wasting time
For somebody else

Take a listen through the window
Another lover on the radio
Ask her if she's got an answer
Do you know?

[Chorus]

Sunshine Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Sometimes I can't get enough
Ooh, of you
This friendly game keeps getting rough
Think I'm breaking through
I cannot hide this well
This well as I should
There's always something left to tell
Tell me is it good?

I see you
Do you see me too?
Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine
Come on through
I will find you
Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine

I guess you chose a different road
I am not aware
I got the one that's been closed
Shut down for repair
I hold a highway in my head
Ruling of a king
Driving away the things I've said
And I've said everything

I see you
Do you see me too?
Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine
Come on through
I will find you
Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine

Meet me in the sunshine
Meet me in the... sunshine

There's something better in this heat
Getting it on
I feel the warmth, I feel the greed
And I fear the fall
I hold this window wide enough
To keep the whole world
I want to spit out all this stuff
And keep the girl

I see you
Do you see me too?
Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine
Come on through
I will find you
Close your eyes and meet me in the sunshine

Meet me in the sunshine
Meet me in the sunshine

Children's Lullaby Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Little girl was down by the waterside
The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie
As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around
Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down
But now....

What's behind those big brown eyes
Do you dream at night
Without your lullaby

Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark
Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart
He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see
Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory
And Now...

As his dreams go flashing by
He begins to hear
A lonely lullaby

Well now
We used to sing
And we used to cry
Through everything
In our children's lullaby

Little girl on the street with nobody around
Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground
She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake
Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days
And still...

She believes that she'll get by
On her own without
Her little boy's lullaby

Little boy prays to God to answer his song
To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone
Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars
So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars
And he screams...

Little girl won't you hear my cry
Won't you come back home
To your lover's lullaby

Little girl down by the waterside
Goodbye

Prayer For An Innocent Man Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Oh won't you listen O Lord to my plea for justice
Can't you hear my cry for help
Try to heed my honest prayer
And judge me in my favor

'Cause you know my heart
You have come to me at night
But it's so hard to speak no evil
In a hole deprived of light

So I pray for you to answer
And to turn to me and smile
Shower me with love to save me
From demons deep inside

Protect me as you would your own eyes
In the shadows of your wings
And learn to know the sound that echoes
When an innocent man sings
When an innocent man sings
When he sings

So I lie with all my failures
Praying to my best friend's ghost
Time to kneel instead of sitting
And let me do thy bidding
Won't you let me do thy bidding yeah
Help me do thy bidding

Inside Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

We're all lost
We're all found
We're all the same
Just one heart
Beats in us
We're different names
Just one heart
Oh- different names

Oh me, inside you
Cause I wanna be,
Inside you
Inside you

Take this hand
Lift me up
Into your sky
Oh, hold me here
It's just you and me
Cause you make me fly
Oh you make me fly

Oh me, inside you
Cause I wanna be,
Inside you
Inside you

We're all lost
We're all found
We're all the same...

Oh me, inside you
Cause I wanna be,
Inside you
Inside you
Hold me, inside you
Cause I wanna be,
Inside you

The Unchosen One Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

God why you want to play with me
Can't you see I'm tumbling down
And like your favorite toy
Boy I'm tired of being thrown around

You lead me through this life of complication and delusion
So you drop it in my lap and slap me back towards confusion
When it's so hard to decide whether to live or to die in this destiny
Tell me what would you say if at the end of the day it was just you and me

Smile away the fears that only seem to run me around
So you open up the door then the floor came crumbling down
I've only one or two dreams there worth losing
But they're unraveling, traveling down the road to ruin

And the harder I try the more I slip and I slide through this fantasy
All by myself I need your help to perservere
But the same conclusions always greet me at my door
Wouldn't it be nice to fade away
And maybe one day you will show me what went wrong
How did I become the unchosen one

So when the rain is just around my corner
Throw some sunshine down my way
And I'll hit you with a smile all the while my worries melt away

So won't you show me a sign as I continue to climb up this reality
All by myself I need your help to perservere
And the same conclusions always greet me at my door
Wouldn't it be nice to fade away
And maybe one day you will show me what went wrong
So how did I become the unchosen one

I'm Still Here Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I found the pieces in my hand
They were always there
It just took some time to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
So if nothing else
I'll hold on while you drift away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive

Cities grow
Rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one that's gone
I'm still here
Still here

Seeing the ashes in my heart
The smile the widest
When I cry inside and my insides blow apart
I tried to wear another face
Just to make you proud
Just to make you put me in my place
But everything you wanted to take from me
Is everything that I could never be

Cities grow
Rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one that's gone
I'm still here

Maybe tonight
It's gonna be alright
I will get better
Maybe today
It's gonna be okay
I will remember

I held the pieces of my soul
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole
When I saw you yesterday
But you didn't noticed
And you just walked away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive

Cities grow
Rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here
The lights go out, the bridges burn
Once you're gone, you can't return
I'm still here
Remember how you use to say I'd be the one to runaway
But I'm still here

Miracle Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

It's taken much too long
To get it right
Would it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

And all you really need
Is everything you could never be
And so you'd give it all
For a miracle

[Chorus]
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle

You never really know
What it is
Not until it goes
And if it comes again
It's a miracle

But what you miss is love
In everything below and up above
And could she bring it all
A miracle

[Chorus]

All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
And all you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle

It's taken so long to get it right
Could it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

[Chorus]

Shackled Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own

I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again

So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It's half the distance before you leave me behind
It's such a waste of time

[Chorus]
'Cause my shackles
You won't be
And my rapture
You won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me

So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don't need you to keep my faith alive

I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

[Chorus]

Though you know you care

[Chorus]

And my laughter
You won't hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears

Footprints In The Snow Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Seems like only yesterday
But it started long ago
Trials tribulations
And notes in the autumn nights

We didn't know way back then
What brothers we really were
Letting the time pass quickly
And watching it go

[Chorus:]
But we stood together
And we made each other strong
We tried to comfort ourselves when the nights were long
And we held back the tears
When they needed to flow
But where we once stood lie only footprints in the snow

Even when it was hard
To find a smiling face
And when others would leave us
Without a trace

We never thought about tomorrow
Or what she might bring
We never stopped to realize
That we might not always sing

[Chorus]

Seems like only yesterday
God where'd the time go
Where we once laughed lie only tears in the snow

The Ride Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I hope you know why
You're taking me for a ride

I'm taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the anger's been
When it's deep inside

And each day my hope subsides
It's killed by your reasons why
Chalking it up to fate
What's to become of the injured hate
When it won't die

[Chorus:]
And though I'd like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down
Into another stormy day
So I've got to get away

Someday I'll realize
Why you wouldn't be my bride
I wish you could take the hit
'Cause your luck becomes what you make of it
But you have to try

And though I'd like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down
Into another lonely day
Won't you save me

I'm taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the anger's been
When it's deep inside

[Chorus]

The Mountain Song Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive

It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time

If your lost and you need someone to count on
Oh you've got to look to me
Because it's times like these when a good friend is a savior
Oh you come running on back to me

It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time

And someday when you're feeling awkward
And someday when you're down
Come to me I will give you anything
I'll turn your frown around

What you've done for me is more that I could hope for
Oh you are my friend
And I'll be there for you through happiness and sad times
Oh our love will pull us through

This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive

Goodnight My Friend Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Goodnight my sun
Goodnight my friend
Rest your soul at this
Long day's end

The fire inside
Will warm our night
And daddy's arms will
Hold you tight

Dream of summer skies
Sunset is bound to each sunrise
Rest is your first right
My friend goodnight

This world spinning
Time always winning
The silver chains keep thinning and
This is just your beginning

Sleep my friend
At last be free
No we won't forget
Our merriest melody

Gone to another place
Of carousel rides round an angel's face
I'm sure we'd both laugh at the sight

My friend goodnight

When You Cry Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Heaven knows you're with me now
Heaven knows that you're here
I feel your breath all around me now
And all the pain just disappears
It goes away, it goes away

And it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry

You carry too much on your shoulders
I can't wait till you let me down
Cause the only thing we're getting is older
This time never comes back around
You just gave it, gave it away

And it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry
When you cry

Heaven knows you're with me now
And I'll do my best to hold on
Cause nothing is worth all this fighting now
And I won't give up till it's gone
Make it go away, go away
Make it go away, go away

Cause it only hurts, when you cry
I'm alone inside, when there's tears in your eyes
I can't hide and say I'm fine
But it only hurts, when you cry

It's Only Me Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I am the blood
I am the heartbeat
I am the needle drawing me from me
Separate vials for the vile I see

I am the mind
And I know what I know
Fragments of pictures form my core
All strewn about on this prison floor

[Chorus:]
Watched on by secret eyes
Hidden internal lies
It's only me
I get afraid of the dark sometimes
I can't see
When the light shines I find it's only me

I am the flood
And I am the cleansing
Reckless and pure still unsure
I got aimless precision

I am the savior
And I am my brother
Holding me in locking me out
Different room for a different doubt

[Chorus]

I am the blood
And I am the heartbeat
I am the needle drawing me from me
Seperate vials for the vile I see

[Chorus]

Everything You Want Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

[Chorus]

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know

One Of You Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Breathe in the water
Drown in the sky
High, high above her
While I'm flowing through your eyes

Hold me in motion
Still in your sun
Under this ocean
There's a world melt into one

And i'm hanging on to everything i hold dear
And i'm letting go of fear
I'm hanging on to every single one of you

See all the darkness
Blind in the light
Deep in this forest
Tell me leave this in this night

And I'm hanging on,
To everything I hold dear
And I'm letting go of all this fear
I'm hanging on to every single one of you

Go somewhere better
Go to the sea
Walk through the desert
Till your love grows over me

And I'm hanging on
To everything I hold dear
And I'm letting go of all my fear
I'm hanging on to every single one of you
To every single one of you
To every single one of you
Every single one of you

It's Over Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I'm here, wide awake again
This fear is something I call a friend
Hello again
It's been a while since I saw you here
I don't remeber you saying goodbye

No,
It doesn't matter it's over
Here I've been waiting
All my life
All this time
It doesn't matter it's over
Here I've been waiting
All my life
All this time

Here we go, jump to the stars above
So low, why do I fall to love?
Hello my love
This voice never called your name
This boy would never be the same

No,
It don't matter it's over
Here I've been waiting
All my life
All this time
It don't matter it's over
Here I've been waiting
All my life
All this time

Don't let it end up this way
Don't spend another night afraid
Don't let it end up this way
Hey-yeah

Don't matter it's over
Here I've been waiting
All my life
All this time
Don't matter it's over
Here I've been waiting
All my life
All this time
All this time

I'm here, wide awake again

Fragments Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Hold my thoughts I'm at an impasse
Past the place I stopped before
The sweeper's sweeping fragments
Of my head out the door

And the ice it burns upon my forehead
The calmness starts to scream
Must I always hold the upright
When my soul longs to dream

[Chorus:]
Is it too much to find an answer
Is it too much to hold you close
Is it too much to find a reason
Is it too much to free my soul
From self control

I can't get it any better
I always end up killing time
Time for love and time for living
Time to find what's really mine

[Chorus Twice]

And I know you're always waiting for me
You take me far away
And I know you're holding me
And it's better now . . .
And it's better now . . .
And it's better now . . .

You're A God Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's OK
There's somewhere beyond this I know
But I hope I can find the words to say

Never again no
No never again

[Chorus]
'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go

But I've been unable
To put you down
I'm still learning things I ought to know by now
It's under the table so
I need something more to show somehow

Never again no
No never again

[Chorus]

I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's OK
There's somewhere beyond this I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again no
No never again

[Chorus]

Underwater Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

You and I,
Are here, underwater
Seconds are so dear, underwater
Searching for a light, to draw me closer
I hold my breath in tight, bring me closer
I feel your touch, will you pull me up again?

It's not so bad down here, underwater
Once you get past the fear, underwater
Since you through the haze, it's like a memory
I've been down here for days, have you seen me?
I feel your touch, will you pull me up again?

It's all the same for me, underwater
There's nothing much to see, underwater
I cannot make a sound, but I can listen
I can't tell up from down, now I'm listenin'
I feel your touch, will you pull me up again?
You're just in sight, will you save my life again?

You and I are here, underwater

Lines Upon Your Face Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

A small group of boys walks down the street
Throwing a ball in the air
One says to another
Hey I'll always be your brother
I'll always be your friend

[Chorus:]
Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face

Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says

[Chorus]

It's three A.M. and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country
A brother listens to his blues he says

[Chorus]

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now

Sometimes I wish
That we all were immortal
And the game of life always had a happy end
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing
But I'm just glad to spend my time
With you

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now

Sunrays And Saturdays Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Open the window
Let the sunset in
If only for the last time
Let me see you smile again

I'll take my records
You can have your books
I'm sorry I never read them
But it says so much about us

Always trying
To make love out of care
The perfect recipe
But something wasn't there

[Chorus:]
Sunrays and Saturdays
Perfect starry nights
Sweet dreams and moonbeams
And a love that's warm and bright
Sunrays and Saturdays
Friendship strong and true
Oceans of blue and a room with a view
To live the life you choose

You'll write me letters
I'll call you on the phone
A wire away from touching
And never quite alone

We'll get to know ourselves again
And we'll heal our hearts
It's not that we're bad together
We're just better off apart

Always trying
To have one and one make two
And even though it never worked
I still feel love for you

[Chorus]

All Of You Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

So you say
I'm too quiet
Holding things
Up in my head

I say so much
But you don't buy it
I don't want to wake up
Alone in my head

Oh say that you'll never go now
Don't go
Don't go

[Chorus]
I need a lot of you
I want a lot of you
I need a lot of you
All of you

I tend to think
I'm getting nowhere
I drag it out
Whenever I can

Someday
I'll get back there
And find the world
You dropped from your hand

Oh but some things you'll never show now
I know
I know

[Chorus]

Watch you coming up
Out on top now
Watch you coming up

[Chorus]

Forever Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Take these roses all from me
Let me live, let me be
For a little while
Let my eyes,
See everything and nothing in their time
I do not mind

Who've guess I'd learn
To let the walls around me burn
Light up the hillside
My words, I ate them for so long and nothing changed
It was just the same

And I don't know if you see me
But I can tell you your face is clear
I will see you...

Forever
Forever
I will see you
Forever
Forever

Call me close once again
Call me teacher, call me friend
Just like the first time
Call my name, it echos around me in this room
Its all you

I don't know if you hear me there
But it's dark so no one cares
I will hear you...

Forever
Forever
I will hear you
Forever
Forever

I wanted you to be everything to me
Now I've got to learn to carry on
I know I cannot hide this emptiness inside
But nothing is the same since you've gone

Send me letters from above
Send me strength, send me love
Such sweet love
Sing me songs that echo in my head and in my heart
That's where you are

And I don't know if you feel me here
I can tell you one thing that's clear
I will feel you...

Forever
Forever
I will feel you
Forever
Forever
I will hear you
Forever
Forever
I will see you
Forever
Forever

Take these roses all from me
Let me live, let me be

Children's Lullaby Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Little girl was down by the waterside
The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie
As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around
Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down
But now....

What's behind those big brown eyes
Do you dream at night
Without your lullaby

Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark
Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart
He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see
Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory
And Now...

As his dreams go flashing by
He begins to hear
A lonely lullaby

Well now
We used to sing
And we used to cry
Through everything
In our children's lullaby

Little girl on the street with nobody around
Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground
She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake
Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days
And still...

She believes that she'll get by
On her own without
Her little boy's lullaby

Little boy prays to God to answer his song
To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone
Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars
So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars
And he screams...

Little girl won't you hear my cry
Won't you come back home
To your lover's lullaby

Little girl down by the waterside
Goodbye

Trying To Find Purpose Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind

[Chorus:]
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind
The wind and your love to carry me

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But I know in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy
In jealousy

[Chorus]

Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind

[Chorus]

To carry me
Please carry me

Life In The City Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Cut it down go put it away
Take an inside look on the outside
Another day

Take time look at the sunshine
Have mine it's better on you anyway

Nobody's perfect all the time
But I know you
And you know me
And it's alright

I'm waking up gonna buy me some shoes
Take a long walk out of the hindsight start anew

Look around maybe buy a new topcoat
Stop moping the rain's gonna rain through
Rain through on you
Yes it's true that

Nobody's sunny all the time
But I know you and you know me
And it's alright

And it's your life
and it's my life
It's our life in the city

Get a new place out in the hills
Plant a seed I'm in need of a break from the fire drill
Repaint where all the paint ain't
Get a clean slate and maybe we can buy a thrill
I'll foot that bill
Yes I will 'cause

Nobody's busy all the time
But I know you
And you know me
And it's alright

Echo Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Everywhere I go
There's something I really need
Everyone I know
Is someone I want to be
Even though
I don't really know me

I better pick it up
Before I let it slip away
I better stick it out
Before I take another day
Into mouth
Everything I say fades out

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Can I open up your eyes?
Only when the clouds break?
Can I feel the light?
Even though the world shakes
Every night,
You're my quiet satellite

Can I hold you close?
Do her out of focus
And everything I know
I don't even know this
It all falls through
I'm here and I hear you

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Cause I need to, just to reach you
Do you hear me?
Coming clearly?
Am I hollow?
Just an echo

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...
Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Falling Down Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

Where does the time go
Spinning my wheels
Standing still
It's like running on ice
I only gain a little distance when I fall
How did I become a molecule
In the concrete of this city
Indifferent to my endless motion
In a space too small to see
Nonetheless expected to be
I only get a little attention when I fall

[Chorus:]
And I'm falling
Falling down
Falling
Falling down

Cursed with reason
In a world so defiant
Without conclusion
This is the story
The story we live out
And it is the moral too
Look at me I'm falling for you
Shaking, crying
Hating lying to myself
I'm tired of telling myself it's OK
To be this tired
This sick and tired of the turns the world takes
And the people that it makes us be
And lately it appears to me that

[Chorus]

I'm falling down...

Best I Ever Had (grey Sky Morning) Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever

Call It Even Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

I saw an open door and I looked inside it
But I'd no idea
What you were hiding

So now I'm holding the bag
And it's heavy
And the conversation stopped
So much for friendly

And if I told you I was not very good
At making small talk when I should
But you have one advantage over me
At times like this I'm lost at sea

[Chorus]
Why can't I see it for what it really is
And know it like I know my name
And if it's all the same I don't like this game
So let's pack it up
And call it even

Well I'm not the type to speak
Just to hear my voice
And I'm sure you'd hear me out
If you had the choice
But your words keep coming out
Neverending
And I wonder if I'd have to shoutp> And if I told you I was dying of thirst
And the sky was falling just to make it worse
Would you just smile and continue on
As if your mouth had a race to run

[Chorus]

Well I'm glad we had this talk
I feel better
And if I've something else to say
I'll write a letter

And if I told you you were not very good
At hearing others when you really should
Would you just smile and push me away
You can't be bothered there's still words to say

[Chorus]

The Man Who Would Be Santa Lyrics By Vertical Horizon

And the man who would be Santa slips into the room
And the hour of daylight's yet to come but he hopes they don't wake too soon
All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow
The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below
And he can hear the children dreaming

[Chorus]
And he says
All I want is for you to have
A life you love and live
Take from me all I have to give
Because you are in my heart

And the man who would be Santa tells his son to write
And to call him if he needs him in the middle of the night
Don't you worry don't you cry now you'll do just fine
Your mother and I love you
We think about you all the time
And he can see the train is leaving

[Chorus]

Now the old man sits and tells of days when time stood still
The hours always seem to fade but the memory never will
All the love that you gave me
All the dreams in the night
And I just want to thank you while the day's still light
But I can see the sun is setting

[Chorus]
