Текст песни:

You don′t like it in the shadows
but you won′t let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
or find yourself, on your own

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

If we don′t talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can′t have.

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

Billy′s leaving today (don′t know where he′s going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can′t escape the truth).
He knows the price that he′s paid.
He admits that it′s too late to admit that he′s afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he′s always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Billy′s leaving today (don′t know where he′s going).
He′s got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it′s his fate.
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he′s always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he′s just known as a cheat.
And he wish he′d had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he′s always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Текст песни:

Well you can stand there waiting for a rainy day
Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away
And cut yourself with your mistakes
Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk
Everything you need is disguised in double talk
So wound yourself and let it ache

But if you′re waiting for something to bring you round

[Chorus]
I′m calling out, I′m calling out your name
Lift your head up high
I′m calling out, I′m calling out your name
Lift your head up high

It′s all little pieces till there′s nothing left
All just debris of your former self
Just take a breath for your own sake
And if you′re waiting for something to bring you round

[Chorus]

And are you caught between the lines
Did no one see you fall behind

[Chorus]

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

The trouble is her only friend and he′s back again.
Makes her body older, than it really is.
And she says it′s high time she went away,
No one′s got much to say in this town.
The trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I′ll carry you home.
I′ll carry you home.

If she had wings, she would fly away
And another day God will give her some...
The trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I′ll carry you home.
I′ll carry you home.

And they were all born pretty in New York City in light,
And someone′s little girl was taken from the world tonight,

Under the Stars and Stripes.

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I′ll carry you home

As strong as you were, tender you go.
I′m watching you′re breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I′ll carry you home.

I′ll carry you home...

Текст песни:

You have seen the singer
And he said ′ believe in me′
Now let me wash my bloodied hands
In this pool of extasy

Cos you know what′s required of us
And you know that they′re tired of us
And you know
That they haven′t got the clarity to have an open mind

So close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close Your of eyes)
and believe in me

You have seen the singer
And he said believe in me
Now open up and let me in
To your childhood fantasy

Cos you know that the time is right
And you know that we′re dynamites
And you know
That your dreams can be reality if you just made up your mind

So close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close Your of eyes)
and believe in me

And you know that the time is right
And you know that we′re dynamites
And you know that your dreams can be reality if you just made up your mind

So close your eyes (close your eyes)
close Your of eyes (close your eyes)
close your eyes (close your eyes)
And believe in me

(Yeah)

Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
And believe in me.

And believe in me.

Текст песни:

I have seen peace, I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?

And if you want to... talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry... on my shoulder,
I′m a friend.

I have seen birth, I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover′s final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?

And if you want to... talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I′ll cry... on your shoulder,
You′re a friend.

You and I have lived through many things.
I′ll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn′t cry for anything,
But don′t go tearing your life apart...

I have seen fear, I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.

And if you want to... talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me,
And cry... on my shoulder,
I′m a friend...

And if you want to... talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor...

Cry... on my shoulder,
Once again...
Cry... on my shoulder,
I′m a friend...

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

Did he break your heart today?
Well, some will say
It′s never gonna be easy
And did he tell you that he loved you,
He′s just not in love with you anymore?

I met a man who saw a ghost
Sat down on his bed and he said
"Hey, there′s no need to worry,
I′ve lived my life from start to end
And I′ve seen nothing that makes sense
Except being in love."

So, dear, dear Katie
What have you done lately?
I′ve heard it′s all gone wrong.
So, dear, dear Katie
This mess you′re in is crazy
Remember real love.

Take tea for two
An afternoon
By the sea
Remember how it used to be
When we were young and we didn′t care
And oh people used to smile
We were holding hands in the park
The simple things men and woman share,
They used to make you smile.
Little girl don′t be lonely,
You′ll never be lonely

So dear, dear Katie
What have you done lately?
I′ve heard it′s all gone wrong.
So dear, dear Katie
This mess you′re in is crazy.
Remember real love.

And did he break your heart today
Well, do you still feel?

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

Me and my guitar play my way. It makes them frown.
But little pieces by the highway bring me down.
Mine is not a heart of stone, I am only skin and bone,
And those little pieces are little pieces of my own.

Why don′t you give me some love?
I′ve taken ship-load of drugs.
I′m so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I′ll take you seriously,
And we′ll come back as someone else,
Who′s better than yourself.

Many faces at the doorway all hang round.
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound.
So I′m standing all alone, and I′m only skin and bone.
So many faces but they all look out for their own.

Why don′t you give me some love?
I′ve taken ship-load of drugs.
I′m so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I′ll take you seriously,
And we′ll come back as someone else,
Who′s better than yourself.

And some day soon they′ll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday.
I know that someday soon we′ll all be gone so let it all out.
Let it all out today.
And give me some love,
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.

@ James Blunt

Текст песни:

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
′Cause I saw the end before we′d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what′s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won′t stop there,
I am here for you if you′d only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I′ve kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I′ve been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can′t break my spirit - it′s my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I′ve seen you cry, I′ve seen you smile.
I′ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I′d be the father of your child.
I′d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We′ve had our doubts but now we′re fine,
And I love you, I swear that′s true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I′m asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I′m kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)

I′m so hollow, baby, I′m so hollow.
I′m so, I′m so, I′m so hollow.(x2)
