One Good Reason lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Like a thief you've stolen

Like rain on a grave

Like a priest who's spoken

But failed to save

Now the air is empty

And the ground the same

Love has gone to be buried

Beside my name

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Why couldn't you have told me

about your liar's kiss

I can't believe you'd leave me

At a time like this

And the wind is howling

And it's a dying dream

And my faith is silent

While my doubts scream

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

And I'll be there

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason

That I should care

Burning Up lyrics - Eagle Eyey Cherry

Would you believe me

If I said I'd never lie

Though it ain't easy

I can tell you I have tried

But I got to say

That it comes those days

That I told something untrue

Would you forgive me

If I said I'd lied to you

This is my fear

To tell you what I've done

As things come clear

I'm afraid that you'll be gone

But all I know

Is if you go

At least I've told what's true

Hope you'll forgive me

When I say I've lied to you

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

How will you kill me

For what I'm about to tell

Please do it gently

'Cause you know I'm bound for hell

All I know is 

I've lost my soul

I'm burning inside

Hope you'll forgive me

Yes I have lied

Oh yes I've lied

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Now you know that I've gone

And I've been untrue to you

And once it's told

Well you know there's nothing we can do

I regret that I let this get so out of hand

I pray, please stay, that you'll understand

I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

Yes I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing I can do

I'm burning up...

[Repeat]

Together lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Madness is fragile and fragile is she

In chaos she's agile and madness is me

We knew from the beginning it wasn't alright

Like being in a padded room for more than one night

Judgment escaped me I speak for us both

Like the bond that we made let's call it an oath

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Filled with the confidence of nothing to loose

Armed with an axe and a whole lot of booze

Plans were made down to each detail

With a plan like that how could we fail

We packed all our gear in the trunck of my brother's car

'Cause time is running out says the clock on the wall

Judgment escaped me I speak for us both

Like the bond that we made we call it an oath

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Madness is fragile and fragile is she

In chaos she's agile and madness is me

She had the key to keeping me insane

But now I'm gone and she's got to be tamed

As I am telling you as it is true

I'm on my way to bury you

Gonna put you down under

Gotta put you down under 

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Together we will live

Together we'll die

Long Way Around lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

You say what you say

And you pray that one day

You'll be seen between the shadows

Now that's a waist of your pain

Living your life like a saint

When it don't...no

It don't even matter

Even saints make their mistakes

Letting their dreams fall and break

All it feels like

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

Now I want you to see

How good life can be

You can turn around

And better your life

With the good times found

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

I'm not afraid of pride

When it's for the right side

Don't betray what I believe in

Stand where you want to stand

And I'll believe when I can

'Cause I'm telling you now

I been where you're living in

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

Will tomorrow keep it's promise

No one here can say

The past is all behind us

And all we have is today

And all we have is today

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around

Before you know it you'll be lost and found

Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down

People will always take the long way around

Lonely Days lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Girl I can't abide

By the rules you laid down in this game

'cause now I've gone and lost myself in you

One time you catch a ride

And it takes you miles away

There's a chance of never feeling blue

And those lonely days will be long time forgotten

If we could find another way

Now let's contemplate is this time of passion

Strong enough to make you stay

Because I do believe in forever

And forever I will stay

And those lonely days will remain

Miles and miles away

Emotional exile

Is the safest way to play

Gotta take a chance every now and then

Irresistible change of heart

I will guide your way

We could share a life again

And those lonely days will be long time forgotten

If we could find another way

Now let's contemplate is this time of passion

Strong enough to make you stay

Because I do believe in forever

And forever I will stay

And those lonely days will remain

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away

Miles and miles away....

[repeat]

Girl I can't abide

By the rules you laid down in this game

First To Fall lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

What you doing in the alley

What you doing my friend

What you doing in the alley

Are you lost again

Ain't no good going down that road honey

Ain't no good at all

Getting down on your knees just for the money

And you're the first to fall

No shame you feel no shame

Just come back home again

No blame I lay no blame

Just come back home again

Going on a road trip easy rider

One thing you've got to know

You walking on a minefield

Better watch your number

Before you know it you might blow

I can see the sand in the hourglass

And I can hear the last call

You better take you're chance before it's in the past

And you're the first to fall

No shame you feel no shame

Just come back home again

No blame I lay no blame

Just come back home again

No shame you feel no shame

Just come back home again

No blame I lay no blame

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Just come back home again

Miss Fortune lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

She is my Miss Fortune

With all the troubles we have had

When ever I am around her

I do something bad

Trouble is her lover

Trouble is her friend

When ever I am around her

I commit a sin

Trouble is her love

Troubled love

She Didn't Believe lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

He's going back to Georgia

Because he knows time and time has come

don't even know if shell be waiting

Because he's been gone for way too long

How long will you stay

Boy you don't got nine lives to waste

How long will you stay

Saving time losing grace

She believed every word he told her

About the troubles and how they start

She didn't listen to the laughter

She only listened to her heart

How long will you stay

Boy you don't got nine lives to waste

How long will you stay

Saving time losing grace

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

He made a promise to no one

That he could right a wrong

He wanted to do something just

But he was just gone

How long will you stay

Boy you don't got nine lives to waste

How long will you stay

Saving time losing grace

She didn't believe

She didn't believe

She didn't believe believe believe

She didn't believe what they told her about her lover

Nothing left bet her tears and theirs were laughter

Forever after

Shades Of Grey lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

If you start here late no one will know what you did

No the streets are straight it's the soul that's crooked

I've been treated fine I've been treated elegantly

But I'm not one for bathing in the waters of plenty

East is east west is west

And bowery is screaming while delancey rests

Well I'm south of the skating but I'm north of the cash

I could sure use the money but I'm ashamed to ask

The traffic has buried all of last nights rain

The words are all different but the accent is the same

The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

There's at least ten different strains of smoke in the air

And my prints are on them all to prove I was there

And I love the curses but I'm not one for the trenches

And I do love the walking but thank God for the benches

It's hard to tell where green begins and the city gray stops

I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops

My second had is working but the minute hand is broke again

I know time will pass but I don't know when

The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

And there are no shades of gray in between

I know the great ones have been here but where I cant tell

There's dreams here a plenty but they're being withheld

And I'm more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open

The whole place tells time by a tower clock that's broken

The pigeons are ravens and the gulls are vultures

And trash is art and cash is culture

The sun is white and the moon is gray

And the river is black blue and green

The young are young and the old are old

And there are no shades of gray in between

There are no shades of gray in between

There are no shades of gray in between

Save Tonight lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Go on and close the curtains

'Cause all we need is candlelight

You and me, and a bottle of wine

To hold you tonight (oh)

Well we know I'm going away

And how I wish - I wish it weren't so

So take this wine and drink with me

And let's delay our misery

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

There's a log on the fire

And it burns like me for you

Tomorrow comes with one desire

To take me away (ohh it's true)

It ain't easy to say good-bye

Darlin' please, don't start to cry

'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)

And Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away

I wish that I, that I could stay

But girl you know I've got to go (oh)

And Lord I wish wasn't so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight

Save tonight

Save tonight

Save tonight

Oh that's right

Save tonight

Save tonight

[fade out]

Indecision lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Well I found my inspiration there

In silent whispers it just came to me so clear

Simple question of what was I doing there

[CHORUS:]

Hesitation

When I'm standing with my prey

Indecision

Of if I should blow him away

It's kind of strange

What happened from that moment on

What more can I say than reason he was gone

What they were asking was more than I could bear

Execution

What more can...can I say

The realization

Of blowing a brother away

Something in me was gone

Something in me was gone

[CHORUS]

Simple question of what was I doing there

Execution

It was not a part of me

The realization

Of how things are going to be

In my commitment to staying away from guilt

I feel no emotion for those I have gone and killed

Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me...

I take my gun and I give it to my prey

I turn my back to him and start to walk away

All I want is for someone to stop me there

Don't want redemption

Don't want salvation........[REPEAT]

In my commitment to staying away from guilt

I feel no emotion for those I have gone and killed.....

Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me...

Comatose (In The Arms Of Slumber) lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

The doors are closed and walls are white

Someone calls but I don't want to talk tonight

Stay away you all want to stay away

I'm going to be all right, all right

Within the arms of slumber, going to leave it all behind, mmm yeah

Comatose gone under, like all the other times

With pride and disdain I'm going to ignore this pain

When someone falls you're supposed to get up again

I try to oblige but I, I can't tonight

I'm going to be all right, all right

Within the arms of slumber, going to leave it all behind, mmm

Comatose gone under, like all the other times, yeah

Comfort of my dreams I resign myself to you

Dream as I might, oh I'm sleeping when I'm blue

Such a pleasure when I feel myself go under

Stay away, stay away while I'm in the arms of slumber

And I'm leaving it all behind

Mmm, going to leave it all behind

The magic of sweet morpheus, you're doing it once again

You saved me from my sadness, you saved me from my pain

Protect me from depression, protect me one more night

And I'll be all right, all right

Within the arms of slumber leaving it all behind, mm

Comatose gone under, like all the other times, yeah

Comfort of my dreams I resign myself to you

Dream as I might, oh I'm sleeping when I'm blue

Such a pleasure when I feel myself go under

Stay away, stay away while I'm in the arms of slumber

Comfort of my dreams I resign myself to you

Dream as I might, well I'm sleeping when I'm blue

Such a pleasure when I feel myself go under

So stay away, stay away while I'm in the arms of slumber

And I'm leaving it all behind, mmmhm

Stay away you all want to stay away

Stay away you all want to stay away

Stay away you all want to stay away

Stay away you all want to stay away

Worried Eyes lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

I've tried so hard to remember what it is that I forgot

But I can, but I can believe.....will you now

I've tried, I've tried

I've tried

Cried and kissed goodbye

To something that we both know

Boy you blow my mind

I don't know how I'm going to

Show you what I feel for you

All I know

All I know is I...

Want to be with you

Have you ever tried to be

Have you ever tried to see

Something but you don't really know what it is

Lord but we got to try

[CHORUS:]

I look at you

I hear your voice

I try to remember.....I try to remember

So don't you look at me with worried eyes

'Cause you know we got to try girl

All I know

All I know is I....

Want to be with you...

Here I am and I believe

Yes I do.....What I do, What I do for you

[CHORUS]

All I know

All I know is I....

Want to be with you...

Rainbow Wings lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

I met the Devil in disguise

With his rainbow wings and a pack of lies

I had my suspicions but they were ignored

[CHORUS:]

Far away the angel cries

How far away the angel sings

Don't sell your soul for a pack of lies

Don't sell your soul

I watched him preach from the book of greed

With promises of glory and how we'll succeed

I had my suspicions but they were ignored

[CHORUS (2x)]
