Time&Tide

Basia Time&Tide Lyrics
1.PROMISES

Promises
We forgot all our promises
And only keep some of the easiest
I confess I do

Make believe
However small the possibility
But sometimes tripped up by reality
Formality it seems

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

History

We could live our life from history

But there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love
Oh,there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

You'll see---my love

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain


2.RUN FOR COVER

How well I know this feeling
Seems that you will never learn
It can't go on forever

But very soon the tide will turn

When it won't go away
And no one else can cover you
I'll shelter you from thunder

Run for cover,got to run for cover
When danger is around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll never let you down down down

If you play with fire
You're gonna get your fingers burned
Now the stakes are higher
Remember what it was we learned

When it won't go away
And no one else can cover you
I'll shelter you from thunder

Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll always be around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
When the sky is falling down down down

Everyday I'm getting stronger
On a wave of hope that's going round
There's another world inside my heart
It's not impossible to turn it inside out

When it won't go away
And no one else can cover you
I'll shelter you from thunder

Run for cover,got to run for cover
When danger is around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll never let you down down down

Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll always be around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
When the sky is falling down down down


3.TIME AND TIDE

It's hard for me to stop my heart
love never knows
when the time is right
I don't want to hurt
anybody but
can't help loving you
I never felt like this before
I know this is passion
worth waiting for
let love take take its course
that's the only thing
for us to do

We got time, oh baby,
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will
wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new

Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last

How can I stop my heart?
Love never knows
when the time is right
don't want to hurt
anybody
don't want to make them cry
don't want to make them cry

We've got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as...
new

It's a matter of time
only a matter of...
Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last
gonna last forever

We got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you


4.FREEZE THAW

Freeze---thaw
Slow but sure

It breaks my heart

Either---or
Make up your mind
I'm hanging on

If I counted all the times
You are as sure as me
I'd give you up for someone else
Whose heart was free

When you change your tune
With every mood
What am I to do with you

Freeze---thaw

Freeze and thaw
Don't love and ignore me

Come and go
When you want

I never know
I open up
You close me down
We're out of time

When you show the other side
It warms the heart of me
But there again
It's not enough
To keep my love

When you change your tune
With every mood
What am I to do with you

Freeze---thaw

Freeze and thaw
Don't love and ignore me

Freeze---thaw
Slow but sure

It breaks my heart

Either---or
Make up your mind
I'm hanging on

When you change your tune
With every mood
What am I to do with you


5.FROM NOW ON

Once upon a time it was for real
Nothing mattered---then we were together
And I couldn't ask for more
My dream came true
You were nearest to my heart

I can't make you love me anymore
Nothing matters now when you are gone
Tried so many times before
Only now I understand
We never felt the same

But I don't mind
I don't mind
A better combination won't be hard to find
Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

I know this empty room too well
I've got to plan my new life's resolutions
First of all I show you how I can survive
I never knew that I could laugh like this

So I don't mind
I don't mind
A better combination won't be hard to find
Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

I don't mind (x16)

Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

Once upon a time it was for real
Nothing mattered then we were together
You were nearest to my heart
Only now I understand
We never felt the same
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind


6.NEW DAY FOR YOU

Hello again ---it's me

Your shoulder's where I sit
The half,nobody sees,of a silent partnership
I am here---your help at hand

I'm never far away
A clear view from where I stand
I'll be there if you need me

I am your helping hand
My words---you've heard them all before
It's only for the sake of love

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come

So what is this I here

you deserve a break

Take time to think it out
Don't make a new mistake
I am here---your help at hand

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come

My words---you've heard them all before
It's only for the sake of love

The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you
It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you

Hello again ---it's me


7.PRIME TIME TV

It's only here by popular demand

Where there's a hero
You'll find a villain
It is a tried and tested most successful billing
They're in the kitchen
They're in the bedroom
They bring the world inside the home
They want to live in

As we look inside their private lives
It's really me and you
We're watching on the tube
In just one week
You'll be hooked so deep
A dairy dose of soap on the screen

This is prime time TV
A real life drama

As seen on prime time TV
You can't turn it off and walk away

The same old story
From rags to riches
The conflicting morals of a family business
You can't predict it,No
The play's so twisted
Maybe that's the reason why it's so addictive

All the alibis and fake surprise
Will Cecil B.DeMille be turning in his grave
But even so like the ratings show
We'll watch it once again---everytime

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama

As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand

Yeah---yey,yey,yey

Is it a window,is it a mirror
Is it just for entertainment for pleasure

So when it's over we're back to people
Just to prove that human touch can have no equal

As we look inside their private lives
It's really me and you
We're watching on the tube
In just one week
You'll be hooked so deep
A dairy dose of soap on the screen

It's only here by popular demand

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama

As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama

As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand

It's only here by popular demand


8.ASTRUD

Nobody knows where she came from
The tall-and-tanned-young-and-lovely girl
With a voice as light as air
Nobody knows but no one cares
'Cause everybody loves her
When she signs makes you dream a fairy tale

With a certain smile

She can make you feel so nice
Saying gently 'Goodbye sadness'
Still will break your heart

Listen to her once
You'll feel lucky she was there
One note samba would never be the same

Where is she now the lovely girl
With the softest voices you ever heard
Asking---fly me to the moon
I know I'll find her in the sun of Copacabana
Meditating
Her lonely heart is nothing new

With a certain smile

She can make you feel so nice
Saying gently 'Goodbye sadness'
Still will break your heart

Listen to her once
You'll feel lucky she was there
One note samba would never be the same
Never be the same

Listen to her once
You'll feel lucky she was there
One note samba would never be

Nobody knows where she came from
The tall-and-tanned-young-and-lovely girl
With a voice as light as air
Nobody knows but no one cares
'Cause everybody loves her
When she signs makes you dream a fairy tale


9.HOW DARE YOU

Your voice that sounded soft and sweet
Your manners knocked me off my feet
Infatuation made me blind
Today I know you are someone else
Than the one I keep in my mind

So now you think I'm yours
And you don't have to try
Seems nothing I do is right

How dare you talk to me like that
If you're not careful I'll get mad
How dare you talk to me like that
Let this be a warning

You made me hope we'd live a dream
But now you make me want to scream
Poetic style turned into prose
This gentleman that once I knew
I wonder if it was really you
'Cause now you think I'm yours
And you don't have to try
Seems nothing I do is right

How dare you talk to me like that
If you're not careful I'll get mad
How dare you talk to me like that
Let this be a warning

Now you think I'm yours
And you don't have to try
Seems nothing you do is right

How dare you talk to me like that
If you're not careful I'll get mad
How dare you talk to me like that
Let this be a warning (x5)

How dare you talk to me like that (x5)


10.MILES AWAY

I'm sorry darling but I was miles away from here
(and didn't listen)
But don't worry---I'm with you
'Cause nowhere else I would rather be
Couldn't live without you
Wouldn't do without you near me

I'm so happy where I am
But too much of a good thing
Never hurt anybody
So let's leave this noisy town
And move out to tread on enchanted ground
I've got to get things ready
Don't delay it any longer

And find a little house in a valley

Where the sun's always smiling

A perfect place for you and me
Miles away

Now you see the reason
Why I'm drifting miles away
(but now without you)
Just imagine a great big world
Only waiting for us to discover it
I'm getting so impatient
Our life could be even better

In our little house in a valley
Where the sun's always smiling

Where we got some more space to breathe
Miles away

When the world gets too much
We'll hide
So no one can find us there
(says answering machine

'Phone again leave your name
Don't disturb our little home miles away.')

Let's find a little house in a valley
Where the sun's always smiling

My neighbors are Jeff and Jill

Miles away---somewhere
Miles away


11.GIVE ME THAT

Give me that (x4)

You can give me something
Like I've never have before
To your charms I could surrender
If you do the right thing
I'm gonna love you even more
I don't say forget the lust
But my heart you must remember

Something in the air
Made me feel that you are getting near
Man like you
Was my dream but now I've got you here

I've been waiting for you
'Cause I believe in love at first sight
Listen to me and everything is gonna be all right

You can give me something
Like I've never have before
To your charms I could surrender
If you do the right thing
I'm gonna love you even more
I don't say forget the lust
But my heart you must remember

You're a naughty boy
It seems that my words still pass you by
Can't you see
There is more to me than meets the eye

I've been waiting for you
'Cause I believe in love at first sight
Listen to me and everything is gonna be all right

Give me that(x7)

Oh baby let's stay together
'Cause we're made for each other's arms
Let be smile on ever
There's no one I would rather

You can give me something
Like I've never have before
To your charms I could surrender
If you do the right thing
I'm gonna love you even more
I don't say forget the lust
But my heart you must remember

Give me that (x11)
I don't say forget the lust (x2)


12.FORGIVE AND FORGET

Don't ask me to forgive and forget
I'm not crying---no more tears left
How I'm feeling
You'd never understanding

Stop saying you'd like to explain
Don't promise
It's far far too late
Spare the details
No$B!*(B I don't want to know
Your honesty only makes me laugh

You can't make me love you anymore

And it really doesn't worry me
It don't worry me

It's something I know
Time to end it once and for all
