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)]

Falling In Love Again lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

I'm so tired

Of falling in love

Finding it easier to fall out

Can't deny it

I feel it inside Cupid's fire

I can't hide

[CHORUS:]

I'm falling in love again

Ain't nothing I can do

Falling in love again

Girl this time it's with you

When I fall

It's always the same

And I'm so tired

Of playing this game

It's been so long now

Since I gave up my heart

I've kept it locked down

I don't wanna get it harmed

So let me tell you now

I just want to be sure

That you won't hurt me

Can you promise me that

[CHORUS]

You got to tell me

If you're going to break my heart

'Cos I don't wanna take the chance

And if it ain't true

All it's gonna be

Is nothing but a poor romance

So give me that promise to hold on

And I'll never let you go

We gotta have something to go on

I'm letting you know now

[CHORUS]

Falling in love again [REPEAT]

Conversation lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

[CHORUS:]

Conversation with the child who once believed in you

How does one explain to him what it is you do

He says Daddy Daddy please tell me it's not true

What all the people are saying....saying about you

There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led

That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said

And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth

Is begging for you to tell the truth

It's such a hard way to learn....hard way to learn

This moment of truth will hurt for life

Don't need to tell you that ain't right

Come now little boy don't you cry

'Cause the child in you is still alive

[CHORUS]

There comes a time in this child's life when the boy becomes a man

So many things from his past he now can understand

Like all the times when Dad would leave and be gone for so long

And he thought everything was all right

And he thought everything was all right

This moment of truth will hurt for life

Don't need to tell you that ain't right

Come now little boy don't you cry

'Cause the child in you is still alive

This moment of truth will hurt for life

Don't need to tell you that ain't right

Come now little boy don't you cry

'Cause the child in you is still alive

Such a hard way to learn......[REPEAT]

When Mermaids Cry lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

She was drowned in suicide

Faithless lover cast aside

This is how she came to be

Lorelei of the sea

Hopes destroyed, she wanted to find

Certain death peace of mind

Now you wonder who is she

Lorelei of the sea

Many tales I've been told of sailors having died

After seeing a mermaid known

As Lorelei

Faithless lover that is me

And she siren of the sea

So next time that the seagulls fly

Don't you cry sweet Lorelei

[CHORUS:]

Seagulls fly

When mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry

For Lorelei

The guilt is mine I was untrue 

The question is what am I to do

All I know is I got to try

Try to find sweet Lorelei

Make amends for what's been done

'Cause I believe that she's the one

And I will go where seagulls fly

Try to find sweet Lorelei

[CHORUS]

There she is I hear her cry

She's asking me if I will die

There ain't nothing I won't do

For you Lorelei

[CHORUS]

Shooting Up In Vain lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

Waking up as the sun goes down

Body all in pain

Straight out the door to the worst part of town

Shooting up in vain

Slips all his money to the man

Here we go again....here we go again

Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand

Shooting up in vain

[CHORUS:]

So he heads for the closest rooftop

And now he's free with the skyline begind

But it won't be long until his high will drop

Then you know what he'll try to find

Such a shame

Now he's back on that hunt for more

Body all in pain

Wanting to get back to where he was before

Shooting up in vain

So now he goes and sells his wedding ring

Here we go again......here we go again

But now he's sold exactly everything

Shooting up in vain

[CHORUS]

Such a shame

Down to the bed as the sun goes up

Body all in pain

Now he swears he's going to stop

Shooting up in vain

He's Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr. Hyde

He's got to listen to that voice deep inside

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Shooting up in vain

Such a shame

Such a shame

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Got to stop shooting up in vain.............[REPEAT]

Permanent Tears lyrics - Eagle Eye Cherry

On the day of her arrival

No one is there to meet her

Something of a sad one

A girl with permanent tears

Born without a family

Born without a name

And all she ever wanted

Was to wipe her tears away

Wipe her tears away

Away.........away

If someone came to love her

And if someone came to be

The one that will protect her

Be a family

Now we will see a smile again

And tears like dreams can be

Something we will never see

Lost in her memory

Wipe her tears away

Away.........away

Wipe her tears away

Tears away......away......away

She's something of a tragedy

Stands in the shade of despair

I want to cast some light onto her world

A world of permanent tears

Born without a family

Born without a name

Free this weeping willow

From drowning in a flood of tears

Wipe her tears away

Tears away......away......away [REPEAT]

Death Defied By Will lyrics - Eagle eye cherry

He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride

Wasn't in the plan to be gone for long

But he keeps looking back over his shoulder, yeah

He knows that something might go wrong

The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure

Strange mood what is the cure

He's got that feeling of impending doom

Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb, oh

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Boy you gotta learn what's true

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Oh, the joke is on you

You ought to know better

You ought to know better

Now, he is determined to outsmart this snake

With conviction he will stand his ground

Feeling invincible like death itself

But his immortality won't be found

What should he say at his own wake

That he refuses to fulfil his fate

He doesn't know that this is his last drive

On the road we call alive

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Boy you gotta learn what's true

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Now the joke is on you

Now the time has come

You can't play around, and you ought to know

You ought to know better

You ought to know better

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Boy you gotta learn what's true

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Now the joke is on you

You ought to know better

You ought to know better

Ala-la-la-la-laa

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Boy you gotta learn what's true

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Now the joke is on, the joke is on you

(You ought to know better)

Oh, joke is on you

(You ought to know better)

Oh, the joke is on you

(You ought to know better)

Ought to know better, yeah

(You ought to know better, better, joke is on you)

You ought to know better
