Lee Aaron : Emotional Rain

Las palabras

1. ODDS OF LOVE

Ah ya think I'm left of centre
I say you're too intense
But we both learned the best things in life
Don't always make sense

Had our times of plenty
Starved through not enough
And somehow always stuck it out
When things they got pretty rough

People move on it's the easy thing to do
Some people move mountains, me and you..

There's no (givin' up) ah
There's no (let me down)
We always come around
(Shaking down the odds o' love)
There's no (walkin' out) ah
There's no lettin' go
All through the highs an' lows
(Shaking down the odds o' love)

We don't need no piece o' paper
To keep us tied an' true
A little unpredictability
Is what keeps us new

Searching half a lifetime
Tryin' ta get it right
An' finally we got the corner on this one
Wrapped up skin tight

People move on it's the easy thing to do
Some people move mountains, me and you..

There's no (givin' up) ah
There's no (let me down)
We always come around
(Shaking down the odds o' love)
There's no (walkin' out) ah
There's no lettin' go
All through the highs an' lows
(Shaking down the odds of love).. yeah

There's no (givin' up) ah
There's no (let me down)
We always come around
(Shaking down the odds o' love)
There's no (walkin' out) ah
There's no lettin' go
All through the highs an' lows
(Shaking down the odds of love)...

There's no (givin' up) ah
There's no (let me down)
We always come around
(Shaking down the odds o' love)
There's no (walkin' out) ah
There's no lettin' go
All through the highs an' lows
(Shaking down the odds of love)....

We're shaking down the odds of love...
Shake shake (Shaking down the odds of love)
Uh-huh-huh.. huh.. huh..
Oh (shaking down the odds o' love) love....
(Shakin' down the odds of love)
Hey.. uh.. shake it down
(Shaking down the odds of love) love....
(Shakin' down the odds o' love) of love....


2. CONCRETE & ICE

You said fly.. with me
Still echoes in my head...
At.. your feet..
Was all it became in the end..

Like a bad religion
Takes the heart steals the soul outright
There's nothin' savin' you tonight
(Concrete an' ice...)

Washed.. away...
Like chalk masterpieces in the rain..
Painted love..
And hung it up on an empty frame

Tears were cried...
As I set foot, out of the indigo haze
Pray for me...
And I will pray for you again

Because there's nothin' savin' you tonight
(Concrete an' ice...)
The world for you is black an' white
(Concrete an' ice...)
There's nothin' savin' you tonight
(Concrete an' ice...)

The roses, in your garden..
Have begun to die...
The roses, in my garden..
Have come back, to life... yeah

Fly with me
Still echoes in my head
Pray for me
And I will pray for you again

Because there's nothin' savin' you tonight
(Concrete an' ice...)
The world for you is black an' white
(Concrete an' ice...)
There's nothin' savin' you tonight
(Concrete an' ice...)
(Concrete an' ice...)
(Concrete an' ice....)
(Concrete an' ice...)

The roses, in your garden..
Have begun to die...
The roses, in my garden..
Have come back to life...
Concrete an' ice...


3. BABY GO ROUND

She could be young an' foolish
She could be old an' wise
But love is dangerous..
When the heart is blind
Became a girl of eighteen
Goin' on forty-five...

The man'd get fired up
An' then he' strike her down
An' baby shut her mouth now
Nobody hear the sound
Still got her pride made up her mind
No turnin' around...

The only sound he'll hear tonight
Her footsteps out the door

Baby go round an' round an' round
Pick up the pieces when it all comes down
Life gets better than it is right now
Baby go round
Hush little baby
She don't cry
Come here alone and alone you die
A heart can break but love survives
Baby go round an' round an' round an' round

She got a brand new feelin'
Put on a brand new face
An' sorry has no meanin'
In 'er bran' new place
There's a time for forgiveness
And a time when it's too late...
It's much too late

The only sound she'll hear tonight
His knockin' at her door

Baby go round an' round an' round
Pick up the pieces when it all comes down
Life gets better than it is right now
(Baby go round)

Hush little baby
She don't cry
Come here alone and alone you die
A heart can break but love survives
(Baby go round)

Baby go round an' round an' round
Pick up the pieces when it all comes down
Life gets better than it is right now
(Baby go round), an' round an' round an' round

She wants, what she.. wants

Baby go round an' round an' round
Pick up the pieces when it all comes down
Life gets better than it is right now
(Baby go round)
Hush little baby
She don't cry
Come here alone and alone you die
A heart can break but love survives
(Baby go round), an' round an' round an' round
An' round an' round an' round

(Baby go round)
She wants what she wants
(Baby go round)
Aw pick up, pick up the pieces
Oh-ooh..., pick up the pieces......


4. FIRE IN YOUR FLAME

CD player's turnin'
The candle is still burnin' by the bed..
Your whisper filled with yearnin'
Let the shadows speak 'til nothing's left unsaid...

Gonna heal you up
Gonna set you free
When you're losin' faith
I'll make you believe..

(This kiss this touch)
(Still means as much)
I wanna put the fire in your flame..
(This soul aspires, to one desire)
I wanna put the (fire), oh the fire in your flame....

Reflections from the moonlight
Dancing on your face painted a smile
Spirit's under weather
And no one knows you better my sweet child...

Let me dress your wounds
Let me ease your pain
These arms are shelter
In the pourin' rain..

(This kiss this touch)
(Still means as much)
I wanna put the fire in your flame..
(This soul aspires, to one desire)
I wanna put the (fire), oh the fire in your flame....

I am the one....
Breathe deep the breath of givin'..
I am the one...
The beating, living, inside....

(This kiss this touch)
(Still means as much)
I wanna put the (fire) in your flame..
(This soul aspires, to one desire)
I wanna put the (fire) in your flame..

(This kiss this touch)

I wanna put the fire in your flame..
(This soul aspires, to one desire)
I wanna put the (fire), oh the fire in your flame....

Uh-huh.. uh, uh-huh.. huh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh-hoo
This kiss, aw this touch
This kiss, aw this touch
Ah....
Huh, huh, huh, huh-huh-huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh-huh
Huh


5. WATERFALL

Something is sleeping
(Under this silence)
Waiting to rise up, from the jaded sea
Nothing was sacred
(No words too violent)
No virgin place remains inside this memory

But (in the dream)
You carried me down, to the (waterfall...)
(Washed me clean)
And held me like a newborn, (child...)

Been livin' in an empty cage
(Been smilin' through a twisted face)
Every breath breathin' empty rage
(Suffocatin')
Didn't want ta get my fingers dirty
(Yet I drink from a broken glass)
Refugee of this black hole shelter
(Chains me to the past)

(In the dream)
You carried me down, to the (waterfall...)
(Washed me clean)
And held me like a newborn, (child....)
(In your eyes)
Renewing what had been denied (waterfall...) waterfall..
(Sanctified)
Desire without fear, is (alive...)

(In the dream)
You carried me down, to the (waterfall...)
(Washed me clean)
And held me like a newborn, (child...)
(In your eyes)
Renewing what had been denied (waterfall...) waterfall..
(Sanctified)
Desire without fear, is (alive...)

(In the dream)
You carried me down, to the (waterfall...)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..
(Washed me clean)
And held me like a newborn, (child...)
(In your eyes)
Renewing what had been denied (waterfall...) waterfall


6. INSIDE

Crack in the mirror
Straight to the head
One motivation
Keep the ego fed
Everything clearer
No pretty sight
Inflated self opinion
Cuttin' like a knife
(So overrated)
(Naked and faded in the morning light..)

Sometimes the darkest shadows parade as shinin' sun
Seen precious metal turn ta rust..
Grind down a heart o' stone you're left with dust

Straight up (brother) tell no (lies..)
We're gonna find out
(What ya got, what ya got)
Come (full circle)
The truth won't (hide..)
In the end it all comes down to
(What ya got) baby (what ya got)
(Inside..)

Slave to the beauty
Watch it, crumble and fall
You see time is never kind
When the writin's on the wall
(Painted impressions)
(Are the, truest confessions)
(Underneath it all..)

And when the winds of summer take on an icy chill
The brightest star drops from the sky...
Some say the blind see way more than the eye

Straight up (brother) tell no (lies..)
We're gonna find out
(What ya got, what ya got)
Come (full circle)
The truth won't (hide..)
In the end it all comes down to
(What ya got, what ya got)
Straight up (brother) tell no (lies..)
We're gonna find out
(What ya got) baby (what ya got)
(Inside...)

(Sometimes the darkest shadows, parade as shinin' sun)
(Some say the blind can see more, than anyone)

Straight up (brother) tell no (lies..)
We're gonna find out
(What ya got, what ya got)
Come (full circle)
The truth won't (hide..)
In the end it all comes down to
(What ya got, what ya got)
Straight up (brother), tell no (lies..) yeah-yeah-eah
Show me (what ya got, whatcha got)
Come (full circle)
The truth won't (hide..)
In the end it all comes down to
(What ya got) baby (what ya got)
(Inside...)


7. RAGGEDY JANE

She crawls in through the window
Forgot her key again
Always kinda scattered
'Til that pillow meets her head
A woman she's a child
Just a girl who' lost her way..
Driftin' in life's ocean
That's Raggedy Jane..
(Ahh... ahh... ahh...)

She's got a sweet young lover
An' he tries to calm 'er fears
A bandage on the hurt
But a reminder of the years
And everyday she's older..
An' everyday she stays the same
Caught in the chain
Raggedy Jane

What's your name...
Ah-ha Jane...
What's your name...
You never change
(Raggedy Jane)
Caught in the chain..

And she cries..
Like a frightened little angel
In an angry sky...
Searchin' for salvation
She's never gonna find
Cuz she's reachin' out reachin' out
Instead of reachin' inside....

Now she's feelin' worn an' broken
Like a used up old toy
Never tears of joy
For Raggedy Jane
Trustin' everythin' to fate
An' believin' her own lies
She gets fed up
But she never tries..
That's Raggedy Jane..
Caught in the chain..
Raggedy Jane

What's your, what's your name...
Ah-ha Jane...
What's your name...
You never change
(Raggedy Jane)
Caught in the chain
Raggedy Jane..
Oh.. what a shame


8. SOUL IN MOTION

World of understandin'
Livin' with hate
The heartbeat of compassion
A little bit too late
Never see the forest
Cuttin' down the trees
Some think that hunger
Is a channel on TV

I'm not a god I'm just a man
Alone I cannot save us in this hour
The spirit challenges the hand
And where there is love, there is power

There's somethin' deep inside
A faith that keeps this world alive
Reachin' out, let's put this (soul into motion)
Right to the heart of it
Can't stop it once you've started it
It's all about, puttin' this (soul into motion)

We glorify religion
Kill ourselves with dope
Suffer from indifference
Hang by threads of hope
When the ship is sinkin'
Still we stand on by
We can't wait to cross the bridge
Until the river's running dry

I'm not a god I'm just a man
Alone I cannot save us in this hour
The spirit challenges the hand
And where there is love, there is power...

There's somethin' deep inside
A faith that keeps this world alive
Reachin' out, let's put this (soul into motion)
Right to the heart of it
Can't stop it once you've started it
It's all about, puttin' this (soul into motion)

There's somethin' deep inside
A faith that keeps this world alive..
Let's put this (soul into motion)

There's somethin' deep inside
A faith that keeps this world alive
Let's put this (soul into motion)
Right to the heart of it
Can't stop it once you've started it
Let's put this (soul into motion)

There's somethin' deep inside
A faith that keeps this world alive
Reachin' out, let's put this (soul into motion)
Right to the heart of it
Can't stop it once you've started it
It's all about, puttin' this (soul into motion)

There's somethin' deep inside
A faith that keeps this world alive..
Let's put this (soul into motion)
Right to the heart of it
Can't stop it once you've started it
It's all about, puttin' this (soul into motion)..

Puttin' this soul into motion.... (soul into motion)
Yeah-yeah, (soul into motion)
Na-na-n-na-n-na-na-na
Na-na-n-na-n-na.. na
(Soul into motion)


9. STRANGE ALICE

7:05AM, radio said
Unfamiliar dive
A stranger in the bed
She'd like to wear her crown out
But she'd have to find her head
She has another drink and forgets about it

Feelin' confused
Reelin' OK
Candy apple blue, or candy apple grey
The colour of the real world
Doesn't matter anyway
When you're Janis Joplin Marianne
An' little Ms. Holiday

(Alice looked into the looking glass)
And she said maybe I'm nothin'
Or maybe I'm somethin'

So strange...
(Alice in the light of the moon...)
So strange...
Her shadow followed too
(Alice in the light of the moon...)

She wants.. something, ta break
I can't seem to break the spell
She tried to get ta Heaven..
Got side-tracked in Hell
Now she's workin' on a novel about her life
An' ya know it just might sell

(Alice looked into the looking glass)
And she said maybe I'm nothin'
Or maybe I'm somethin'

So strange...
(Alice in the light of the moon...)
So strange...
Her shadow followed too
(Alice in the light of the moon...)

So strange...
So strange...
(Alice in the light of the moon...)
So strange...
(Alice in the light of the moon...)
(Alice in the light of the moon...)

So strange...
Strange...
Strange... strange...
(Alice in the light of the moon...)
Strange Alice
Strange Alice
Strange Alice, strange Alice.... ....
(Alice in the light of the moon...)


10. EMOTIONAL RAIN

Ah the street light shines through the window
Casting a pale blue light..
And the busker's lonely song
Is softly killin' her tonight
She reaches for the bottle
Reaches for the phone
Changes her mind
One more night all alone
The flowers he gave 'er
She watched while they died
Nine days in the dark
Nine days without lies

But this ain't a love song baby
Naw there's nothin' she'd change
This ain't a love song baby
Just emotional (rain...)
Rain....

Teardrops falling and sentiments calling
A whisper, to a scream
The minutes tick by an' she's prayin' that time
Really heals the heart that bleeds..
The smell of his body
On her dirty sheets
The picture inside
Of the locket she keeps
The long winded kisses
Tender embrace
Reminders of love, fallen from grace..

But this ain't a love song baby
Naw there's nothin' she'd change
This ain't a love song baby
Just emotional (rain..)
Uh-huh uh-huh uh

Maybe tomorrow..., uh-huh
Maybe she'll draw the shade...

Uh-hu-huh-hu-huh...
Nine days without lies...

This ain't a love song baby
Aw there's nothin' she'd change
This ain't a love song baby
Just emotional rain..

This ain't a love song..
This ain' no damn love song..
This ain't a love song baby
Just emotional (rain...)
Rain...

Uh-hu-huh-hu-huh...
Uh... huh...
Nine days without lies...


11. JUDGEMENT DAY

Heaven.., some say it's just a word
Some believe you live your life to find your, place there
Young girl.., barely turned thirteen
Hustlin' on the streets, she never learned a prayer

Never learned to trust no one
'Til she met the man
He filled her up with false hope
Put a needle in her hand

She'll be one of many
Forgotten souls somewhere
Dead by seventeen
And who will care

(Where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
(Where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day..

Hatred.., is a learned disease
Some people raise up children to feel that way
Young boy.., barely turned nineteen
Shipped off overseas, with a gun and green beret

Atrocities he's known
A big hero back home
The hypocrisy that we condone

Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day..
Aw (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day..
Aw (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day..

Heaven..., some say it's just a word
Hatred..., is a learned disease

Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...

Now (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...

Where will we... be.., on Judgement Day...
(Where will we be on Judgement Day..)
She never learned a prayer
Never learned t' trust no one

Some say Heaven... some say hatred... some don't know...
(Where will we be on Judgement Day)
(Where will we be on Judgement Day)
(Where will we be on Judgement Day)


12. HEAVEN

What happened to the laughter..
Which way, did the mercy wind blow
Too long without a drop of water..
And the garden doesn't grow

Ah baby we tried but we couldn't see eye to eye
And it's much too late, to crucify ourselves
This side of Heaven, is where we are
We stumble we fall..
But we came so far
This side of Heaven
We let love go
The innocent never know...

I was so damn thirsty..
And you were always so damn weak
My cup flowed 'til it was dry and empty..
Your cup was always outta reach..

Aw baby if we coulda walked a mile in each other's shoes...
Well we might have seen, what we stood to lose

(This side of Heaven).., is where we are
We stumble we fall...
And we bear the scars
(This side o' Heaven), we let love go
The innocent never know..

I believe.., there's a place we finally, find ourselves...
I believe.., a safer place but, I'm still searchin'
I'm still searchin'...

(This side of Heaven), is where we are
We stumble we fall...
And we bear the scars
(This side of Heaven...), we let love go
The innocent never know...

(This side o' Heaven...), is where we are
We stumble we fall...
And we bear the scars
(This side o' Heaven...), we let love go

This side o' Heaven...
I believe...
We let love go


13. CRY

Love...
The winter was comin'
I could feel the chill settin' in..
I reached out to your fire
But the amber glow'd grown so dim

Tears...
Like the crimson leaves falling
Last breath of a sunset sky..
Ah the seasons were changin'
Too late to save the garden
Too soon to see it die..

(Cry....)
Cry me a river
Promise me the sun..
(Cry....)
Everybody hurts
How does it feel to be the one..
(Cry....)
Cry me a river
Kiss love goodbye
And cry...

(In a dream...)
(I stood by the water)
(And you watched from the other side)
(And you could clearly see me callin' out)
(Ya tried to run and hide)
(Wouldn't look me in the eye)..

(Cry....)
Cry me a river
Promise me the sun..
(Cry....)
Everybody hurts
How does it feel.. to be the one
(Cry....)
Cry me a river
Kiss love goodbye
And cry....

And you left me standin' by the water
A thousand bridges, one step away... away....

Tears...
Like the crimson leaves (falling)
(The last breath)
Cry...
Cry....

Cry me a river
Kiss love goodbye
And cry....

(Cry....)
Cry me a river
Promise me the sun..
(Cry....)
Everybody hurts
How does it feel.. to be the one
(Cry....)
Cry me a river
Kiss love goodbye
And cry....
And cry...


14. HAD ENOUGH

Scratch the surface
Can't break the ice
I built a wall
No sacrifice
I shut me off
You wore me numb
Tryin' to shoot me down
With an empty gun

Can't make me laugh
Can't make me cry
Pinch me to see..
If I'm still alive
I lost myself
I lost my voice
But I' got this life
An' I've got my choice

I' had enough of (lyin')
Had enough of pain
A part of me is (dyin')
No one else to blame
Had enough of (strangers)
Walkin' in my shoes...
I'm (takin' back my soul) had enough o' you

No promises
No guarantees..
No peace of mind
In bein' free..
No shame on you
Just shame on me
I shoulda known I shoulda known I shoulda known I shoulda known it
I shoulda known better . . . . . . .

Can't make me laugh
Can't make me cry
Pinch me to see...
If I'm still alive
I lost myself
I lost my voice
But I' got this life
Hey-hey..

I' had enough o' (lyin')
Had enough of pain
A part of me is (dyin')
No one else to blame
Had enough of (strangers)
Walkin' in my shoes..
I'm (takin' back my soul) had enough o' you

Had enough o' (lyin')
I've had enough
Had enough of pain
I've had enough
A part of me is (dyin')
I've had enough
No one else to blame
I've had enough
Had enough of (strangers)
I've had enough
Walkin' in my shoes
I've had enough...!
