Colour Of A Carnival lyrics - Kasey Chambers
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
Sign On The Door lyrics - Kasey Chambers
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]
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

You're the one I need

The Rain lyrics - Kasey Chambers
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 x2]
Yeah the rain washes everything away, la da da da da
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 x2]
Yeah the rain washes everything away, la da da da da
Light Up A Candle lyrics - Kasey Chambers
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 x2]
No baby I don't need you around, no baby I don't need you around
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 x2]
No baby I don't need you around, no baby I don't need you around
Hard Road lyrics - Kasey Chambers
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
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
Nothing At All lyrics - Kasey Chambers
One was the light in a candle
Two was the colour of the rain
Three was a fall in deeper
Four was a cry and shame
Five was a shiver in the winter
Six was a losing card
Seven was the hope I would never fall too hard
One was a breath under water
Two was a crash and burn
Three was a ghost of the lover
Four was a lot to learn
Five was the livin' in a cradle
Six was a mercy cry
Seven was the hope you would never say goodbye
[Chorus]
You win
I lose
You leave with nothin' to prove
You rise, I fall
I leave with nothing
Nothing at all
One was a faith in a sorrow
Two was a waste of a dream
Three was a life in a bottle
Four was the last to believe
Five was a break in the weather
Six was back to the start
Seven was the hope it would never go this far
[Chorus]
I was your waste time
You were my angel wing
I was your falling star
You were my everything
[Chorus x2]
Nothing at all, Nothing at all
Nothing at all, Nothing at all
Two was the colour of the rain
Three was a fall in deeper
Four was a cry and shame
Five was a shiver in the winter
Six was a losing card
Seven was the hope I would never fall too hard
One was a breath under water
Two was a crash and burn
Three was a ghost of the lover
Four was a lot to learn
Five was the livin' in a cradle
Six was a mercy cry
Seven was the hope you would never say goodbye
[Chorus]
You win
I lose
You leave with nothin' to prove
You rise, I fall
I leave with nothing
Nothing at all
One was a faith in a sorrow
Two was a waste of a dream
Three was a life in a bottle
Four was the last to believe
Five was a break in the weather
Six was back to the start
Seven was the hope it would never go this far
[Chorus]
I was your waste time
You were my angel wing
I was your falling star
You were my everything
[Chorus x2]
Nothing at all, Nothing at all
Nothing at all, Nothing at all
Railroad lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Your mother don't cry
Your daddy don't go
The spies don't let the government know
The water don't rise
Living on the railroad
Your brother don't lie
Your lover don't cheat
The ground wont fall
From under your feet and the wind don't blow
Livin on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Your colour don't fade
Your sorrow don't show
The shadow don't follow wherever you go
The butter don't melt livin' on the railroad
Your cards don't lose
Your brakes don't fail
The rain comes down to cover your trail
But the wind don't blow living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Thunder, lightening,
Stealing, fighting
Crashing, cryin, breakin', dyin',
Failing, fallin', lyin'
Greed
These are the things I never see
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad.....
Your daddy don't go
The spies don't let the government know
The water don't rise
Living on the railroad
Your brother don't lie
Your lover don't cheat
The ground wont fall
From under your feet and the wind don't blow
Livin on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Your colour don't fade
Your sorrow don't show
The shadow don't follow wherever you go
The butter don't melt livin' on the railroad
Your cards don't lose
Your brakes don't fail
The rain comes down to cover your trail
But the wind don't blow living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Thunder, lightening,
Stealing, fighting
Crashing, cryin, breakin', dyin',
Failing, fallin', lyin'
Greed
These are the things I never see
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad
Living on the railroad, living on the railroad.....

I got you wrapped around my finger like a glove
And i got you on your knees

Surrender lyrics - Kasey Chambers
It's not that I don't care
I know its here somewhere
But its more than I can bare to take
I lie awake at night
I never win the fight
Its an addiction I cant shake
Its overbearing me
Growing, flowing, showing
[Chorus]
I surrender, forever
I fold, I played the losing card
I'm under
Its over
I give it up its all too hard
It's not I'm unsure
I've heard it all before
But I cant help wanting more to keep
You just don't understand
The way I really am
Its all I ever can be
But underneath it all
I'm breaking, waking, shaking
[Chorus]
And now I face it all
I'm falling, crawling, stalling
[Chorus x2]
I know its here somewhere
But its more than I can bare to take
I lie awake at night
I never win the fight
Its an addiction I cant shake
Its overbearing me
Growing, flowing, showing
[Chorus]
I surrender, forever
I fold, I played the losing card
I'm under
Its over
I give it up its all too hard
It's not I'm unsure
I've heard it all before
But I cant help wanting more to keep
You just don't understand
The way I really am
Its all I ever can be
But underneath it all
I'm breaking, waking, shaking
[Chorus]
And now I face it all
I'm falling, crawling, stalling
[Chorus x2]
Dangerous lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Break break away from everything
Cut cut it up and start again
Know know there's nothin' in between
But anyway
How much did it ever really mean
I I was the keeper of the score
Blind blind and broken on the floor
You You were the solider in this war
But anyway
Was it it me that you were really looking for
[Chorus]
I am ashes
I am wreckage
I am careless
I am breaking
You are fearless
You're the saviour
We are dangerous
No more
Made made a mess of everything
Prayed prayed that it would never end
I I'm not angry bout a thing
But anyway
How much longer can you keep it in
Show show a side I'd never seen
Go go somewhere you're never been
Reach reach for something in between
But anyway
How much did it ever really mean
[Chorus]
After all that might have been
After all that could have been
After all that should have been
I'm falling in
[Chorus]
No more, no more, no more
Cut cut it up and start again
Know know there's nothin' in between
But anyway
How much did it ever really mean
I I was the keeper of the score
Blind blind and broken on the floor
You You were the solider in this war
But anyway
Was it it me that you were really looking for
[Chorus]
I am ashes
I am wreckage
I am careless
I am breaking
You are fearless
You're the saviour
We are dangerous
No more
Made made a mess of everything
Prayed prayed that it would never end
I I'm not angry bout a thing
But anyway
How much longer can you keep it in
Show show a side I'd never seen
Go go somewhere you're never been
Reach reach for something in between
But anyway
How much did it ever really mean
[Chorus]
After all that might have been
After all that could have been
After all that should have been
I'm falling in
[Chorus]
No more, no more, no more
You Make Me Sing lyrics - Kasey Chambers
You make the thunder start (a) rollin
You make the lightening cover the sky
You make the storm cloud hover over the hills
You make the water start rising high
You make the town folk run for cover
You make the animals run and hide
You make the light go dim like its suffering
You make the rain come outta the sky
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry like a bird with a broken wing
But ya make me sing, ya make me sing
[Chorus]
Ya make me sing like a lone wolf howling
Ya make me sing like an angel fly
Make me sing like a church bell ringing to let you in
Oh you make me sing
You make the sun creep over the mountain
You make the darkness swallow the sky
You make the leaves turn brown in the spring time
You make the willow tree willin' to cry
You make the wind blow like a hurricane
You make the fire burn out of control
You make the water come in and the ship sink
You make the river too shallow to flow
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry
Like a bird with a broken wing but ya make me sing
Ya make me sing
[Chorus]
oh oh oh I wanna shout it out
I wanna scream about
I want the whole world to hear
I got the earth shattering under my feet
And you ringin' in my ear
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry like a bird with a broken wing
But ya make me sing, ya make me sing
[Chorus x2]
You make the lightening cover the sky
You make the storm cloud hover over the hills
You make the water start rising high
You make the town folk run for cover
You make the animals run and hide
You make the light go dim like its suffering
You make the rain come outta the sky
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry like a bird with a broken wing
But ya make me sing, ya make me sing
[Chorus]
Ya make me sing like a lone wolf howling
Ya make me sing like an angel fly
Make me sing like a church bell ringing to let you in
Oh you make me sing
You make the sun creep over the mountain
You make the darkness swallow the sky
You make the leaves turn brown in the spring time
You make the willow tree willin' to cry
You make the wind blow like a hurricane
You make the fire burn out of control
You make the water come in and the ship sink
You make the river too shallow to flow
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry
Like a bird with a broken wing but ya make me sing
Ya make me sing
[Chorus]
oh oh oh I wanna shout it out
I wanna scream about
I want the whole world to hear
I got the earth shattering under my feet
And you ringin' in my ear
You make the flowers die
You make the girls cry like a bird with a broken wing

Don't Look So Sad lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Sink or you can swim
But you can't change it now your fallin' in
So drift or you can fly
Just don't waste it all on
Reasons why, you break when you can mend
It's not that easy turnin' round again
I know it's hard to hear
But after all that's said and done it will disappear
[Chorus]
Don't look so sad
It's not that bad you know
I won't let go no
Don't look so sad, you know to go down easy is the hardest way to go
Laugh or you can cry
But know a million tears will always dry (so)
Face what you can't hide
You know it's waiting on the other side
So crash, and you can burn
You know there's always something there to learn
In time it goes away
But after all that's said and done it'll be ok
[Chorus]
It's all the same I know
When everything is sinking in
But, one day you'll wake to find it's
Best to leave it all behind
You're at the end so start again
[Chorus]
... It's the hardest way to go
But you can't change it now your fallin' in
So drift or you can fly
Just don't waste it all on
Reasons why, you break when you can mend
It's not that easy turnin' round again
I know it's hard to hear
But after all that's said and done it will disappear
[Chorus]
Don't look so sad
It's not that bad you know
I won't let go no
Don't look so sad, you know to go down easy is the hardest way to go
Laugh or you can cry
But know a million tears will always dry (so)
Face what you can't hide
You know it's waiting on the other side
So crash, and you can burn
You know there's always something there to learn
In time it goes away
But after all that's said and done it'll be ok
[Chorus]
It's all the same I know
When everything is sinking in
But, one day you'll wake to find it's
Best to leave it all behind
You're at the end so start again
[Chorus]
... It's the hardest way to go
Pony lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When I grow up I want a pony
I'm gonna ride her from dust til dawn
I'm gonna brush her mane
And feed her sugar cane
And keep her in safe from the storm
If I had a pony
I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I want a baby
I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley
And I sure won't mind if it cries all night
Just as long as it looks like me
If I had a baby
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a cowboy
With dust all over his jeans
With a horse named Jack
And a ten-gallon hat
He is nice but looks so mean
If you were a cowboy
I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I'll be a lady
All my rings will be made of gold
I'll put flowers in my room
I'll wear perfume
I won't listen to rock n roll
If I was a lady
I wonder could I be your girl
I'm gonna ride her from dust til dawn
I'm gonna brush her mane
And feed her sugar cane
And keep her in safe from the storm
If I had a pony
I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I want a baby
I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley
And I sure won't mind if it cries all night
Just as long as it looks like me
If I had a baby
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a cowboy
With dust all over his jeans
With a horse named Jack
And a ten-gallon hat
He is nice but looks so mean
If you were a cowboy
I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I'll be a lady
All my rings will be made of gold
I'll put flowers in my room
I'll wear perfume
I won't listen to rock n roll
If I was a lady
I wonder could I be your girl
Hollywood lyrics - Kasey Chambers
If I was in a movie
I would hold my head up high
And if I was in a movie
I would never be this shy
I would shout out loud and be so proud
Of what I have to say
And if I was in a movie
I would never let you get away
If I was in a movie
I would stand the test of time
If I was in a movie
I would get away with crime
I would run so fast
And always last the distance of the day
And if I was in a movie
I would never let you get away
[Chorus:]
This is not Hollywood
There is no camera in my room
This is not Hollywood
The flowers grow before they bloom
Well you can hide away when you walk in dusky light of night
This is not Hollywood
This is my life
If I was in a movie
I would never be this sad
If I was in a movie
I would have more than I have
I would show the world I'm just a girl
Who has so much to say
And if I was in a movie
I would never have let you get away
[Chorus:]
This is not Hollywood
There is no camera in my room
This is not Hollywood
The flowers grow before they bloom
Well you can hide away when you walk in dusky light of night
This is not Hollywood
This is my life
Yeah this is not Hollywood, this is my life
I would hold my head up high
And if I was in a movie
I would never be this shy
I would shout out loud and be so proud
Of what I have to say
And if I was in a movie
I would never let you get away
If I was in a movie
I would stand the test of time
If I was in a movie
I would get away with crime
I would run so fast
And always last the distance of the day
And if I was in a movie
I would never let you get away
[Chorus:]
This is not Hollywood
There is no camera in my room
This is not Hollywood
The flowers grow before they bloom
Well you can hide away when you walk in dusky light of night
This is not Hollywood
This is my life
If I was in a movie
I would never be this sad
If I was in a movie
I would have more than I have
I would show the world I'm just a girl
Who has so much to say
And if I was in a movie
I would never have let you get away
[Chorus:]
This is not Hollywood
There is no camera in my room
This is not Hollywood
The flowers grow before they bloom
Well you can hide away when you walk in dusky light of night
This is not Hollywood
This is my life
Yeah this is not Hollywood, this is my life
Stronger lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I'm a little bit stronger,
I'm a little bit wiser,
It's a little bit clearer in my mind.
I can shout a bit louder,
I can feel a bit prouder,
But nothing makes sense to me this time.
I'm a little bit older,
I'm a little bit surer,
I can fight a bit harder against the tide.
I can make it sound better,
Much better than sadder,
But nothing makes sense to me this time.
[CHORUS:]
I thought it was good, I thought it was fine,
I thought it was just a matter of time,
The sun would shine.
I held my breath, I covered my eyes,
Thought I was just clearing the skies,
The sun would shine.
I'm a little bit braver,
I'm a little bit wilder,
I can stand a bit closer to the light.
I can stand a bit taller,
Like I wouldn't fall over,
But nothing makes sense to me this time.
[CHORUS:]
I thought it was good, I thought it was fine,
I thought it was just a matter of time,
the sun would shine.
I held my breath, I covered my eyes,
Thought I was just clearing the skies,
The sun would shine.
[Bridge:]
If my collar fades to white
Should I hold my head up high
[Instrumental]

I'm a little bit wiser,
It's a little bit clearer in my mind.
I can shout a bit louder,
I can feel a bit prouder,

Bluebird lyrics - Kasey chambers
If I fall like rain
Will you still feel the same
Will you hold me and call out my name
If I'm lost in the crowd
Will you shout out loud
Will you take me to the other side of town
When that sun beats down
Will you stay
Will you turn around
And fly away
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
If my heart turns blue
Will it still belong to you
Will you keep it just like him
If I lose my wing
Will I hear you sing
You will make my tears go away
When that sun beats down
Will you stay
Will you turn around
And fly away
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
When that sun beats down
Will you stay
Will you turn around
And fly away
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Will you still feel the same
Will you hold me and call out my name
If I'm lost in the crowd
Will you shout out loud
Will you take me to the other side of town
When that sun beats down
Will you stay
Will you turn around
And fly away
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
If my heart turns blue
Will it still belong to you
Will you keep it just like him
If I lose my wing
Will I hear you sing
You will make my tears go away
When that sun beats down
Will you stay
Will you turn around
And fly away
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
When that sun beats down
Will you stay
Will you turn around
And fly away
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Like a bluebird tail wing
It sounds just like the angel singing
Am I ever gonna see you again
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Bluebird with a brand new wing
Bluebird with a brand new wing
More Than Ordinary lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I used to make the fire
Now I'm running out of flame
The closer I get the more regrets
And I won't change everything
To have you back again
But I can't keep everything the same
They say it won't get harder
I'm gonna be OK
But it's just like me going against the break
And while I tie to your shoestrings
And I'm breaking from the strain
Those damn thongs hold on like chains
Yeah those damn things hold on like chains
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever see me like I saw you
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever need me like I need you now
I need you now
If I was a liar, I had a few more friends
The chances are my heart would never mend
Even know my conscience would go
Running back again
Doesn't really hurt to pretend
No, it doesn't really hurt to pretend
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever see me like I saw you
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever need me like I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now...
Now I'm running out of flame
The closer I get the more regrets
And I won't change everything
To have you back again
But I can't keep everything the same
They say it won't get harder
I'm gonna be OK
But it's just like me going against the break
And while I tie to your shoestrings
And I'm breaking from the strain
Those damn thongs hold on like chains
Yeah those damn things hold on like chains
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever see me like I saw you
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever need me like I need you now
I need you now
If I was a liar, I had a few more friends
The chances are my heart would never mend
Even know my conscience would go
Running back again
Doesn't really hurt to pretend
No, it doesn't really hurt to pretend
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever see me like I saw you
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever need me like I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now...
Wayward Angel lyrics - Ksey Chambers
Well I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer I don't cry
And late in the night your sleeping
I come to hover by your side
So close your weary weathered eyes
These tears are just a faint disguise
Cause I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer, I don't cry
Cold in the heart of winter
Make your shiver make you blue
I'm stay close by your window
Give your blankets to hold on to
So sleep my baby for a while
You'll wake with the light of a mothers smile
Cause I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer I don't cry
I am a wayward angel
I feel no sorrow
I'll always carry you home
I'll bring salvation
Before tomorrow
I'll be wherever you go
Break like a first time heartache
Leaves you weaker leaves you tears
Hold my hand much tighter
I will walk you through these years
So close your weary weathered eyes
You'll wake with the light of a mothers smile
Cause I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer I don't cry
I don't suffer I don't cry
And late in the night your sleeping
I come to hover by your side
So close your weary weathered eyes
These tears are just a faint disguise
Cause I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer, I don't cry
Cold in the heart of winter
Make your shiver make you blue
I'm stay close by your window
Give your blankets to hold on to
So sleep my baby for a while
You'll wake with the light of a mothers smile
Cause I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer I don't cry
I am a wayward angel
I feel no sorrow
I'll always carry you home
I'll bring salvation
Before tomorrow
I'll be wherever you go
Break like a first time heartache
Leaves you weaker leaves you tears
Hold my hand much tighter
I will walk you through these years
So close your weary weathered eyes
You'll wake with the light of a mothers smile
Cause I am a wayward angel
I don't suffer I don't cry
Paper Aeroplane lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I'm just an old man
My hair is thinning
My head is spinning
I cry myself to sleep at night
And lordy lordy
Though no one hears me
I know you're near me
Will you always be my wife
And some days make me
Feel weak and shaky
Some fly right right by me
Like a paper aeroplane
And I hardly notice
That the world's gone crazy
But nothings clearer
Than the way your said my name
And I should've let go by now
Yeah I should've let go by now
But I kept your brownies
And your golden honey
And I smell your flowers
And I saved your money
And I hold your blanket
Close for hours
And I paint my heart blue
But I did it all for you.
My hair is thinning
My head is spinning
I cry myself to sleep at night
And lordy lordy
Though no one hears me
I know you're near me
Will you always be my wife
And some days make me
Feel weak and shaky
Some fly right right by me
Like a paper aeroplane
And I hardly notice
That the world's gone crazy
But nothings clearer
Than the way your said my name
And I should've let go by now
Yeah I should've let go by now
But I kept your brownies
And your golden honey
And I smell your flowers
And I saved your money
And I hold your blanket
Close for hours
And I paint my heart blue
But I did it all for you.
Like A River lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Sometimes you walk like an angel
Sometimes you walk like a man
Sometimes you crawl like a baby
Makes me forget who I am
Have you ever been held before
Like honey to the bee
I've never been held before
Like you hold me
Chorus:
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
I think the sun is finally rising
Its burning down because I miss you
I'm gonna walk right through the fires
Cos all I wanna do is kiss you
Rain falls, won't wash this away
I'll build a stonewall to make you stay
[Chorus:]
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
[Chorus:]
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
Never go
Never go
Sometimes you walk like a man
Sometimes you crawl like a baby
Makes me forget who I am
Have you ever been held before
Like honey to the bee
I've never been held before
Like you hold me
Chorus:
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
I think the sun is finally rising
Its burning down because I miss you
I'm gonna walk right through the fires
Cos all I wanna do is kiss you
Rain falls, won't wash this away
I'll build a stonewall to make you stay
[Chorus:]
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
[Chorus:]
You make me feel like a river
Like a water overflow
Wanna shout it out from the Mountain
Wanna sing it on the radio
I'll sell my soul like a sinner
If it means you'll never go
Never go
Never go
For Sale lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Wouldn't you think that
I'd have it all figured out by now
That I'd know exactly what I'm dong
Wouldn't you think that I'd have a key
To open every melody and sing
Like it is all here at my feet
Wouldn't you think that
I'd have a life hanging on my wall
So I could prove that I'm alive
But these are just things I've been given
For a plastic way of living
And I'm not sure if that really is my style
The second hand it rolls on by
It never looks back to wait for mine
And if I fall any harder this time
If I dig any deeper Lord what will I find
Well you can buy my life on radio
And order me by mail
But not everything about me is for sale
No not everything about me is for sale
Wouldn't you think that
I'd have the strength to carry anything
And I could buy myself
A brand new set of hands
But sometimes like the others
I just ran away take cover
And I swear that no one really understands
The second hand that rolls on by
It never looks back to wait for mine
I'd have it all figured out by now
That I'd know exactly what I'm dong
Wouldn't you think that I'd have a key
To open every melody and sing
Like it is all here at my feet
Wouldn't you think that
I'd have a life hanging on my wall
So I could prove that I'm alive
But these are just things I've been given
For a plastic way of living
And I'm not sure if that really is my style
The second hand it rolls on by
It never looks back to wait for mine
And if I fall any harder this time
If I dig any deeper Lord what will I find
Well you can buy my life on radio
And order me by mail
But not everything about me is for sale
No not everything about me is for sale
Wouldn't you think that
I'd have the strength to carry anything
And I could buy myself
A brand new set of hands
But sometimes like the others
I just ran away take cover
And I swear that no one really understands
The second hand that rolls on by
It never looks back to wait for mine
Follow You Home lyrics - Kasey Chambers
In the year of 62 the land received a soul
A baby cried, a mother smiles,
A hero made of gold
A heart like a burning flame
Beats like an old steam train
Bound to an other by chain
Silver lining
As the boy because a man
The child inside remained
High on life with wide eyes open
A smile that could dry up the rain
A name that would now ring true
Like a sun on a sky of blue
The khaki legend grew
Ten feet tall
With heart in heard
You bridge horizons
You paint the wild
Mother nature rises
You walk alone
But I will follow you home
If the earth could mould
A man underneath the perfect sky
Like a diamond from the ground
An image of you would rise
Bearing a will of steel
Roll like an iron wheel
Teaching the world to feel
Heart and soul
A baby cried, a mother smiles,
A hero made of gold
A heart like a burning flame
Beats like an old steam train
Bound to an other by chain
Silver lining
As the boy because a man
The child inside remained
High on life with wide eyes open
A smile that could dry up the rain
A name that would now ring true
Like a sun on a sky of blue
The khaki legend grew
Ten feet tall
With heart in heard
You bridge horizons
You paint the wild
Mother nature rises
You walk alone
But I will follow you home
If the earth could mould
A man underneath the perfect sky
Like a diamond from the ground
An image of you would rise
Bearing a will of steel
Roll like an iron wheel
Teaching the world to feel
Heart and soul
Mother lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Do you remember when I was a baby
Did I cry, did I cry
I only remember the days I was laughing
When you sang me sweet lullabies
When you sand me sweet bye and bye
Sometimes I wonder if you were an angel
Would you fly, would you fly
Or would you just hover right here by my side
Keeping me warm and dry
Keeping me safe by you side
Mother mother won't fall from grace
Light a room with the lines on your face
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and bye
All of the birds that land on my window
Sing your name, sing your name
When all of the time I am crying again
About how much the sky likes to rain
When I should be singing your name
And all of the flowers by the side of the road
They whisper your name while they grow
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and bye
Did I cry, did I cry
I only remember the days I was laughing
When you sang me sweet lullabies
When you sand me sweet bye and bye
Sometimes I wonder if you were an angel
Would you fly, would you fly
Or would you just hover right here by my side
Keeping me warm and dry
Keeping me safe by you side
Mother mother won't fall from grace
Light a room with the lines on your face
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and bye
All of the birds that land on my window
Sing your name, sing your name
When all of the time I am crying again
About how much the sky likes to rain
When I should be singing your name
And all of the flowers by the side of the road
They whisper your name while they grow
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and bye
Guilty As Sin lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Wrong way down a wrong way track
Cold run down the length of my back
Whip my heart with a mighty crack
You gave me the closest thing
To a heart attack
My body shivers my body it shakes
You rock the house with the
Love that you make
I'm growing weak with
This intangible ache
But baby keep it coming
For goodness sake
Wash me down with the dirty water
Open the door baby let me come in
If it's a crime to let you under my skin
Lock me up cause I'm as guilty as sin
You got no style you aint
Heart of romance
I'm like a food for even
Taking a chance
You got me flying
By the seat of my pants
But come on baby, I wanna dance
Cold run down the length of my back
Whip my heart with a mighty crack
You gave me the closest thing
To a heart attack
My body shivers my body it shakes
You rock the house with the
Love that you make
I'm growing weak with
This intangible ache
But baby keep it coming
For goodness sake
Wash me down with the dirty water
Open the door baby let me come in
If it's a crime to let you under my skin
Lock me up cause I'm as guilty as sin
You got no style you aint
Heart of romance
I'm like a food for even
Taking a chance
You got me flying
By the seat of my pants
But come on baby, I wanna dance
Lost And Found lyrics - Kasey Chambers
If I could learn how to fly
My feet would never though the ground
I'd never have to say goodbye
I wouldn't have to make a sound
I could give away this heart
Leave it in the lost and found
If I could fly high I'd never come down
If I could sail across the sea
I would head towards the sun
I would never have to be
Anything to anyone
I could chase your memory
And then I'd never have to run
If I could sail away I'd never come home
But I am still here
There's nowhere else to go
Yeah I am still here
There's no-one else to hold
And I can't fly I'm not that strong
Yeah I am still here
And you're still gone
If I could fall into your arms
Promise never to let go
Would you keep me safe from harm
And take me every where you go
We could throw away the past
And then you'd never have to know
If I could hold your heart
I'd never let go
My feet would never though the ground
I'd never have to say goodbye
I wouldn't have to make a sound
I could give away this heart
Leave it in the lost and found
If I could fly high I'd never come down
If I could sail across the sea
I would head towards the sun
I would never have to be
Anything to anyone
I could chase your memory
And then I'd never have to run
If I could sail away I'd never come home
But I am still here
There's nowhere else to go
Yeah I am still here
There's no-one else to hold
And I can't fly I'm not that strong
Yeah I am still here
And you're still gone
If I could fall into your arms
Promise never to let go
Would you keep me safe from harm
And take me every where you go
We could throw away the past
And then you'd never have to know
If I could hold your heart
I'd never let go
Saturated lyrics - Kasey Chambers
I've been acting, high and mighty
It's just the liar here inside me
it's complicated but so sincere
I'm saturated from living in here
I never wanted anything but a record and a band
I never wanted anything I didn't understand
I should've known better
I should've broke free
I should've known better
There aint no guarantees
It shattered slowly
It's broken through
I should've known better
Than to let myself fall for you
I've been paying less attention
It's hard to have the best intention
It's complicated but so sincere
I'm saturated from living in here
I never wanted anything but a house to call a home
I never wanted anything but to never be alone.
It's just the liar here inside me
it's complicated but so sincere
I'm saturated from living in here
I never wanted anything but a record and a band
I never wanted anything I didn't understand
I should've known better
I should've broke free
I should've known better
There aint no guarantees
It shattered slowly
It's broken through
I should've known better
Than to let myself fall for you
I've been paying less attention
It's hard to have the best intention
It's complicated but so sincere
I'm saturated from living in here
I never wanted anything but a house to call a home
I never wanted anything but to never be alone.
Barricades & Brickwalls lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Barricades and brickwalls won't keep me
from you
You can tie me down on the railroad
track
You can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big ole cars
Won't run me out of town
I'll be damned if you're not my man
Before the sun goes down
You can chain me down
On the edge of town
You can leave me there to die
But the railroad track
Will bring me back
When the lonesome whistle cries
You can lock me out
You can scream and shout
You can try to change your name
But by the end of the day
I'll take you away
Like a force 10 hurricane
from you
You can tie me down on the railroad
track
You can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big ole cars
Won't run me out of town
I'll be damned if you're not my man
Before the sun goes down
You can chain me down
On the edge of town
You can leave me there to die
But the railroad track
Will bring me back
When the lonesome whistle cries
You can lock me out
You can scream and shout
You can try to change your name
But by the end of the day
I'll take you away
Like a force 10 hurricane
