Highs and lows

"...You touched my heart
You touched my soul
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

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

I am a dreamer
And 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 mother 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 was going to ask who that was by, but Joe answered. What a generous offer there Joe. lol

I need to borrow this and post it at my blog, but then again as andrew stated in a round about way, why open up wounds that are healing.

Someone had told me James Blunt was good, but hadn't really heard his stuff, must agree his lyrics are great, does he write his own stuff? Might even go buy it myself! Is it actually called highs and lows and which CD is it on?

Ordinary Girl said...

Bless you Joe.

joie - maybe! Very sad indeed

Me - but quite lovely too!

Thanks Andrew, guess we've all been there eh?

Kris - A generous offer indeed! I'm flattered. Feel free to rob my posts anytime you like. I intend to use your heading quote at some point soon...

As far as I know Sleepless, this is called Goodbye My Lover (there my highs and lows), and is on Back to Bedlam I think. Definitely worth a listen or two.

Ordinary Girl said...

Oh, and Kris, this is not the whole song, the main middle part only. The bit most applicable to me I guess...

Try "The Promise" from the Tracy Chapman album "New Beginning". http://www.amazon.com/New-Beginning-Tracy-
Chapman/dp/B000002HKC

There's a preview too.

Ordinary Girl said...

The preview is only a couple of seconds of the beginning, will check it out properly though as some point.

This is all I got to hear...

"If you think of me
If you miss me, once in a while,
Then I'll return to you..."

That's enough to make me sad.

If only...

Ordinary Girl said...

Ironic that it comes from an album entitled "New Beginnings"...

Tracy Chapman, 'The Promise'

"If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart."

No matter how I move on, there'll always be a place for you in my heart. I know I'll always be waiting. Don't waste too long coming home.

I got that CD, it arrived in the post while I was away. Its pretty good, but 'slash your wrists' music! I'm off to see Keane sat nite, now they are a top band! Would love to see Lily Allen ath the moment though, she is very refreshing
