Colour
Of A Carnival
I live in a circle
Runnin around and around
and around and around
Walk over the wire
Pullin me down and me
down and me down
Sink under the water
Fadin away and away and
away
Crash into the wall if
Only you stayed if you
stayed if you stayed if you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
If only you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
Chorus
It coulda been the colour
of a carinval
It coulda been the light
in the dark
It coulda been the blaze
of glory
That keeps us all from
falling apart
It coulda been better
It coulda been bigger
Everything that I need
It coulda been me
I stand in the corner
Callin your name and
your name and your name and your name
Try tellin myself
I was never to blame
and to blame and to blame and to blame
Fall down to my knees
I'm slippin away and
away and away and away
Break under the strain
if
Only you stayed and you
stayed and you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
If only you stayed
Hey Hey Hey
Chorus
It coulda been me, it
coulda been me, it coulda been me
Chorus
It coulda been me, it
coulda been me, hey hey hey, it shoulda been me, hey hey hey
The Rain
I will try to break
Every habit that holds
me
I will try to make everyone
happy again
I will try to take anything
you can throw at me
I will let the rain come
in
I will try to face everything
that scares me
I will try to trace
Everywhere that I've
been
I will try to wait for
all of the hearts to be mended
I will let the rain come
in
Chorus
And if I try too hard
Or maybe not hard enough
I'll be the one who says
Its all gonna be OK
And if it all falls down
well its never gonna really matter
Because the rain washes
everything away
I will try to breathe
Deeper than all of the
oceans
I will try to see
The battle instead of
the win
I will try to leave
All that I've wasted
behind me
I will let the rain come
in
Chorus
La da da da da...
Chorus x 2
Yeah the rain washes everything
away, la da da da da
Hard Road
with Bernard Fanning
There's a fire on the
mountain
There's a fire in my
soul
There's a sign on the
highway
It's a hard road
There's a break in a heart
There's a break in a
bone
There's a ghost in the
dark
It's a hard road
There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the
water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an
angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save
my soul
It's a hard road
There's a heavy jacket
There's a heavy load
There's a weight on my
shoulders
It's a hard road
There's a howl at the
backdoor
There's a howl in the
cold
There's a broken bottle
It's a hard road
There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the
water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an
angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save
my soul
It's a hard road
There's a strange feeling
coming over me
Hollow eyes misery
There's someone at the
backdoor
There's someone in the
cold
God save my soul
It's a hard road

Sing
On The Door
I'm a believer
I paid for my sin
Stand over the water
Watch my ship come in
I was blind but now I
see
It was right there in
front of me
I was the reason
For the perfect mess
I covered up my failure
and called it happiness
I been untrue
I been unkind
Then you come in like
the lightnin' from the sky
Pickin' up the pieces
in the middle of the night
I cried oh baby
I'm broken
Theres a price youre
gonna pay
You jumped in the fire,
you saved me any way
Chorus
Open up the up the sky
All gather around
Praise the lord and
Take a look at what i
found
(I got a) love thats
as big as raging storm
I got walls coming down
that I need no more
I got a sign on the door
that says
Lonely don't live here
anymore
There was a moment i prayed
for my soul
(I was) Crawlin' and
hiding in a
Deep dark hole
I cried in the morning
I cried in the night
I was a drifter
Caught in the wind
Prepared to lose but
I was
Tryin to win and I was
breakin all the records on givin in
Then you came in like
the lightnin from the sky
Picking up the pieces
in the middle of the night
I cried oh baby I'm broken
Theres a price you're
gonna pay
You jumped in the fire,
you saved me any way
Chorus
Then you came round while
I was walkin on the wire
Stood there underneath
me
And you saved me from
the fire
And God might be the
king
In the land of the free
But you're the blessed
saviour
You're the one I need
Chorus
Light Up A Candle
You call me baby with
that look in your eye
A poster child for the
mojo fly
You click your fingers
and they fall at your feet
Well I'm drivin' home
but it ain't your street
I wont be cryin' in the
middle of the night
No countin' sheep and
the bugs wont bite
Fresh as a daisy when
I wake up in the morn
It wasn't yesterday that
I was born
Chorus
Light up a candle and
let it burn out
You say forever and I
say for now
It's not a wheelin' and
dealin'
Its just feelin you out
And baby I don't need
you around
Well you say your loves
as deep as a bottomless hole
Your promise you'll keep
until your blood runs cold
You'll tell me I'm the
only one in your world
But I know you say that
to all the girls
Chorus x 2
No baby I don't need
you around, no baby I don't need you around |
