Shine
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Chorus]
Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
***
[Verse 1]
When you look around
It’s so profound
What we can do
You and me
All of us
Here we’re coming through
Here we’re coming through
We gonna shine on you
***
Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
***
[Verse 2]
Anyone can see
There’s destiny
For me and you
Our Lord above
Shines down His love
Shines on you
Yeah it shines down
Let it shine on you
Let it shine on you
***
Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
Yeah it shines on you
Let it shine on you
***
Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you
Yeah it shines on you
Let it shine on you
You Owe Me
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Verse 1]
I’m back where i came from
What a sight for sore eyes
A sour reminder of how hard i've tried
I’m under your spell
I’m holding so tight
I feel cold and dishevelled
I’m as blue as your eyes
***
[Chorus]
When lights go up
A hand comes down
You know you owe me
You know you owe me
***
[Verse 2]
You’ve come to the end
The end of the road
Exceeding the limits
As far as you can go
There’s no room here
And nowhere left to hide
No particular reason
Just foolish pride
***
When lights go up
A hand comes down
You know you owe me
You know you owe me
***
You gave me hope
All that i can be
I'm easy to hold but so hard to please
You gave me hope
All that i could be
Easy to hold but so hard to please
***
When lights go up
A hand comes down
Angels are singing
It’s a beautiful sound
When lights go up
A hand comes down
Bells are ringing
It’s a beautiful sound
***
[Outro]
You know you owe me
You know you owe me
You know you owe me
You know you owe me
Tempted
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Verse 1]
Tempted, all is vacant
I’ve been down before
I need replacement
Who knows just where the end is
Who cares what you’re defending
***
[Chorus]
I can’t see
What you want from me
I can’t be, no
What you want me to be
Angel...
***
[Verse 2]
Descending, she’s never faking
You can see her eyes
There’s no mistaking
She knows where the end is
She says, just stop pretending
***
I can’t see
What you want from me
I can’t be, no
What you want me to be, no
Angel of mine
Angel...
***
[Outro]
But she said
I’m not bothered
And you’re the same
Well I'm done with love
And you're to blame
***
Sit down
Why don’t you listen
Have an open heart
Hold your position
All of this and nothing
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
Sing out your song, sing out for me,
Give it everything you've got, just one more time for me,
Move in from the dark
***
I'm all of this and nothing,
I'm the dirt beneath your feet,
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping,
I'm all you need
***
The river's wide, too wide to see,
There's a storm outside my window moving close to me,
Move in from the dark,
Move in from the dark
***
I'm all of this and nothing,
I'm the dirt beneath your feet,
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping,
I'm all you need
***
Black water high,
Too high to breathe,
There's a ghost outside my window haunting me,
Move in from the dark,
Move in from the dark
***
I'm all of this and nothing,
I'm the dirt beneath your feet,
I'm the sun that rises while you're sleeping,
I'm all you need
***
Move in from the dark
One Thing
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
Ain’t it something
When she walks into the room
With the light that’s almost way too much for me
Ain’t it something
When waves crash on the shore
The ocean's wilder than before
It’s a different world today
No one seems to care much anyway
Don’t listen to what they say
They don’t know what they’re fighting for
There’s always life on Mars out there for me
***
[Chorus]
You just need one thing
LOVE
***
Ain’t it something
When you stare up to the stars
And you wonder how we could have come this far
Don’t say nothing
Just lay down next to me
We can watch those tasteless shows on our TV
It’s a different world today
No one seems to care much anyway
Don’t listen to what they say
They don’t know what they’re fighting for
***
[Chorus]
You just need one thing
You just need one thing
LOVE
***
There’s always one thing
That takes me far away
Then I don’t hear a single word you say
There’s always something
That makes me want to stay
There’s really nothing more to say
***
[Chorus]
You just need one thing
LOVE
You just need one thing
LOVE
Don’t Cry
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Verse 1]
I found you in thar howling basement
Lying on the floor
You could feel the time come knocking
Knocking at your door
He'll give you something
And you'll were begging for more
You’re on a crooked road to nowhere
Honey, that’s for sure
***
[Chorus]
It’s the same old feeling
You don’t have to lie
Yeah it don’t mean nothing
I’m gonna tell you why
Don’t cry now, don’t cry
Don’t you cry girl
It’ll be alright
***
[Verse 2]
Come on get up from down now
There's dirt on that floor
He's got you on the palm of his hand now
Like all this times before
You’re so lost in your kingdom
Your kingdom of fear
And there’s no one out there
No one’s gonna appear
***
It’s the same old feeling
You don’t have to lie
Yeah it don’t mean nothing
I’m gonna tell you why
Don’t cry now, don’t cry
Don’t you cry girl
It’ll be alright
***
[Verse 3]
Remember when i found you praying
You were down on your knees
You’re looking for communication
To put your mind at ease
You gotta reach out to someone
I know you’ll try
You know i love you more than life itself
I just can tell you why
***
It’s the same old feeling
You don’t have to lie
Yeah it don’t mean nothing
I’m gonna tell you why
Don’t cry now, don’t cry
Don’t you cry girl
You’ll be alright
Don’t cry now, don’t cry
Don’t you cry girl
It’ll be alright
Lately
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Verse 1]
Lately i don’t hear so much
My mind just keeps on racing all the time
Lately i don’t see so well
My conscience is beginning to unwind
***
[Chorus]
Sail with me, we can fly away
Let’s stay together
Leave this all behind
Sail with me, let’s go all the away
Just give me one more chance
Don’t say good bye
***
[Verse 2]
Lately i don’t feel you here
There's an emptiness inside that’s all too much
Lately i don’t have the time
My patience is beginning to run dry
***
Sail with me, we can hide away
Let’s stay together
Leave this world behind
Sail with me, let’s go all the away
Just give me one more chance
Don’t say good bye
Don’t say good bye
***
[Verse 3]
Lately i don’t care so much
I found myself to staring at the floor
Lately i can’t feel your touch
I’m cold and empty like i was before
***
[Outro]
Sail with me
Sail with me
The Last Time
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Verse 1]
One hand in my pocket
One foot in the grave
Standing here, waiting to be saved
This will be the last time
Scratching my patience away
***
Oh no, oh no
Just take your time now, take it slow
Oh no, oh no
Take your time here, take it slow
***
[Verse 2]
Have you ever follow Jesus?
He lives downtown L.A
He’s coming, He’ll be here
It’s where He prays
This will be my last time
Scratching and tapping my troubles away
***
Oh no, oh no
Just take your time here, take it slow
Oh no, oh no
Take your time here, take it slow
***
This will be my last time
Just say good bye
Time you know
Will just pass you by
This will be my last time
My Sun
author: Dave Gahan, Soulsavers
[Verse 1]
In the warm sun
In the arms of the devil
I’ve paid my debts
There's a promise here to settle
***
[Chorus]
I feel your sorrow, i feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
I feel your sorrow, i feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
My sun
***
[Verse 2]
I want more
It’s more than you can imagine
It’s no way to leave
It’s always’s bound to happen
I’ll never get old
Not older than you
I’m a sinner, i’m a saint
I’m nothing without you
***
I feel your sorrow, i feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
I feel your sorrow, i feel your pain
Behind the darkest clouds the sun always shines again
My sun
***
[Outro]
That’s the glory
Deep in my soul
Inside screaming the devil’s taking hold
Through the sound of a passing train
I hear you calling, calling out my name
Calling out my name
