PLEASE LOVE ME

Please love me
Please, please love me
After all my show is absolutely free
So please love me

Tell them all
The price is low, the high don't fall
They've loved much less and paid much more for company
Don't build me up, don't tear me down, just let 'em see
The song's the thing that makes it free

But maybe I'm wrong
If the price is high than they will love the song
If that's the case than they'll erase all that I've sung
They're gonna rest assured that I was singing just for fun
And that I couldn't really matter to no-one
How could I matter if I'm free
Oh won't you please love me
Please, please love me

Please love me
Please, please love me
It's all much grander than the pennies and the cheers
It's what you get from living all these years
And then seeing me, won't you please love me, ah
Please, please love me
After all my show is practically free
So please love me


IN THE HOUR

In the hour when the sun shines shines bright 
On my head in the city where I am alone, 
I never think of that once told story 
When two flowers almost were one. 
But what to do? 
I still think in the morning of you. 
 
When darkness hovers and city lights take over 
I am blinded to the words "I am alone". 
It's useless to cry for a star in the sky, 
For the city lights tell me there's none. 
But what to do? 
I still cry in the morning for you. 
 
When my head touches my pillow I am too weary 
To dare dream that I am alone. 
Now I lay myself down to sleep, 
I pray the Lord his soul to keep is my song. 
But what to do? 
I still dream in the morning for you. 


GETTING OUT

Well I'm getting out and I feel a lot better
Than I felt when I was getting in
When you say goodbye to one thing
Means a new thing can begin

Well sometimes I may cry and I may wish it didn't end
But I'm getting out and I feel a lot better
Than I felt when I was getting in
La la la...

Well sometimes I may cry and I may wish it didn't end
But I'm getting out and I feel a lot better
Than I felt when I was getting in


MOMMA MOMMA
 
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong, 
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong 
'cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong. 
 
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad, 
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad, 
I have a yearning for something that I never had. 
 
Oh, sometimes I feel my life has come and then it's gone, 
Sometimes I feel my life has come and gone. 
I live in this world but I'm only looking on. 
 
I can't understand, it's too far over my head, 
I can't understand, it's too far over my head. 
I'm living the life but I'm really dying instead, yeah. 
 
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong, 
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong, 
'cause I lift up my head and I can't tell where I belong. 
Momma Momma Momma Momma, something's terribly wrong. 


SAVE THE NIGHT

Save the night
If I could find the feeling I could save the light
That lit our nights before
Before we knew the reasons saving nights were for

Save the light
The light that made us sure
We'd never find that light at any other door

Overdone (??)
I'm sure this song I'm singing has been sung
But I'm gonna sing it again
Save the past, 'cause the future's a question

On your own
Remember when you are alone it's great
This feeling of being secure
But I always thought there'd be more
But I always thought there'd be more

To save the life
While you are playing husband I will play the wife
But sometimes I'll slip away
I'll pretend that it all can grow another way
Sometimes I'll slip away
I'll pretend life and dream that I can save the day

Save the night
La da la la....


PLEASE LOVE ME (instrumental)

EARS TO THE GROUND

Ears to the ground
Listen for noises that have no sound
Hear with your eyes that won't see
The silence in me

Cause they know
All love's gotta come and go
They know life must change
If life's to grow
Take it in, take it in till the very last
We must love it, yes
But let it pass

Ears to the ground
Listen for voices that have no sound
Translate the silence you hear
Your language of fear

Don't be afraid
It may be I've changed my ways, you know
All things come, but they don't stay
La la la...


WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN'

For every smile in the world there's someone out there cryin'
And each time something is born, there's something dyin'
Still the river keeps on flowin'
But we don't know what it is and we don't know where we're goin'

For every sunny sky that's grey with warnin'
And in the darkest night somewhere it's morning
Still the wind keeps on blowin'
And we don't know what it is and we don't know where we're goin'

Bound together by something
But we don't know what it is and we don't know where we're goin'


PEBBLES IN THE SAND

Isn't it grand
I picked up a pebble on the sand
It knows my hand
I taught the sea my song
And it sings it for me when I am gone

Seasons of rain
I bring my little river thus he knows my pain
I gave the sea my tears
And they'll cry for you when I am not here

Under the sun
All pebbles on the sand know why I've come
The sea knows what I've done
And it missed the sea toys that I took home
And it's gonna miss me when I am gone
And it's gonna miss you 'cause we are one

Isn't it grand
I picked up a pebble on the sand
It knows my hand
I taught the sea my song
And it sings it for me when I am gone
And it's gonna miss me when I am gone


STOP! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT ANYMORE

Reason is the only way to change what we're creating
But reason sometimes turns into another word for waiting
Oh stop, I don't wanna hear it now, I don't wanna hear it anymore
You keep right on talking but I don't wanna hear it
No, I don't wanna hear it anymore

Now all the things that you defend are what you hide behind
Well, you sing yourself to sleep each night by saying everything takes time
Oh stop, I don't wanna hear it now, I don't wanna hear it anymore
You keep right on talking but I don't wanna hear it
No, I don't wanna hear it anymore


GOD'S ONLY DAUGHTER

I'm God's only daughter
I'm the one that he grows his garden for
I'm beginning to see him more and more
And I see my papa in the morning

I'm God's favourite little girl
I'm his own pride and joy in the whole big world
I'm his favourite song he likes to sing
And he sings it best in the morning

And you know I just can't hide
The way that I feel inside
When the sun hits my eyes in the morning

When I go to bed at night
He gives me a smile and turns out the light
And he tells me a tale of loving
And he'll kiss me hello in the morning

And you know I just can't hide
The way that I feel inside
When the sun hits my eyes in the morning

I'm God's only daughter
I'm the one that he grows his garden for
I'm beginning to see him more and more
And I see him best in the morning
