Odyssey

Hayley Westenra Odyssey Lyrics
1.Prayer

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light


2.Both Sides Now

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

Now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

Now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say 'I love you' right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads
And they say I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all


3.Never Saw Blue

Today I took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill
Above the lake

And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away

And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say

And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

I can't believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen or heard your name
And even now, I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain

And somethings are the way they are
And words just can't explain

You never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before

And it feels like now,
And it feels always,
And it feels like coming home

I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before

Oh, I, I never saw blue like that


4.Dell' Amore Non Si Sa

Artist:Hayley Westenra/Andrea Bocelli

Speak to my heart, tell that you know
The pain of my longing, it seems to whirl
Speak, oh my star,
Tell me if he will come
Warm August night full of desire
Search for my love I hold this fire
Wanting an angel to smile walking by my way

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To explain it
But you, my starbright friend
Please tell me if he will stay

Dell'amore non si sa
quando viene o se ne va
dell'amore non si sa
quando sar?
da dove arriver?

(With love you never know
When it comes or if it goes
With love you never know
When it will be there
or from where it will arrive)

My brother star straight from my dream
speak to me until morning is dawning
Tell me it's true
He too asks for me

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To attain this
But you are who tell me
All things, only the truth

Dell'amore non si sa
quando viene o se ne va
dell'amore non si sa

ma quando amore arriver?
tutto intorno cambier?
nella notte briller?

Tutto cambier?
Tutto briller?con te

(With love you never know
When it comes or if it goes
With love you never know
when love arrives,
everything changes, all around
It shines in the night

...everything changes... everything will live again with you)


5.What You Never Know(Won't Hurt You)

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't say goodbye

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you cry

I am falling for you
I am falling for you
My heart's torn in two
I am falling for you

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you try

I am falling for you
I am falling for you
I am falling for you


6.May It Be

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Believe and you will find your way
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Believe and you will find your way

A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now


7.Quanta Qualia

Anima mea
Mane
Quanta qualia
Conventus Gaudia
Erunt


8.You Are Water

When I'm lost in a tunnel of shadows and fears
with no light, only night.
And I listen for kind words but nobody's here,
oh so blue, all but you.

You are the one voice
that gives me my own voice
oh don't you know?

You are water on a hot summer day
for a thirsty daughter who's finding her way.
You are water, I found my oasis
I'm drinking from the fountain of dreams
You are water.

You hear the melody of my song.
You stop time, heal my mind.
You show me struggle can make you so strong.
Plant the seed, let is sleep.

You are the one voice
that gives me my own voice
oh don't you know?

You are water on a hot summer day
for a thirsty daughter, finding her way.
You are water, I found my oasis
and now I've got my arms wide open,
now we've got my wishes in motion and
I want to thank you, yeah I want to thank you.

Every step that you take...shows me the way

You are water on a hot summer day
for a thirsty daughter, finding her way.
You are water
I found my oasis and now I've got my wishes in motion.

You are water. You are water.
You are water. You are water.


9.She Moves Through The Fair

My young love said to me, 'My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind,'

She stepped away from me, and she moved through the fair.
And fondly I watched her move here and move there.
And then she went homeward just one star away,
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
And she laid her hand on me, and this she did say,
'It will not be long, love ' and she moved through the fair.


10.My Heart Belongs To you

Through the window of my soul
All the secrets that I hold
Will be yours to share for
Always, always

Like a whisper in the wind
The gentle breeze touches my skin
And I know you're with me
Always, always

I can feel it in the air
The fire that we share
Can only come from deep within
It's the light that burns so bright
It guides you through the night
And leads you to me
So find your way back and

Chorus:
Hold me, touch me
Let the love come rushing through me
I'm yours with every breath I take
Forever and ever
Hold on to love
Cast it down
That's what we're made of
Never let go for my heart's sake
'Cause my heart belongs to you

I lie awake to hear you breathe
Only you can feel the need
That builds and burns so deep
Inside me, inside me

As the moon lights up the sky
There's a thousand reasons why
My heart will only beat for you

You're the reason that I live
So now all I've got to give
I give it to you
Just don't fight the feeling

(Chorus)

(Don't give up but just give in
Or we'll always be here waiting for you)

Waiting for you
Love will see us through

(Chorus)

My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to you
Only you


11.Ave Maria(Caccini)

Ave Maria ?
Ave ?
Ave Maria ?
Ave


12.I Say Grace

You know, sometimes I feel like
I gave it my hardest try
If there's anything left
I lost in on the last rollercoaster ride
When I get home
This is what I say
When my baby asks 'How was your day?'
I say grace

Took a rock from the garden I made here
In the backyard with all ill love and some care
I come here when the world gets too crazy
I come here when I'm just feeling sad
We all need a place we can go where
You pick your dreams out of thin air
I work in this garden of faith every single day

I say grace for the blue painted skies
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I travelled down
I say grace for the love that I have found

Used to wanna be at the top of ladder
Even when you leave you just come back down
When time gets a hold of my horses
I think I'll just laugh and go for the ride
Now when I look out my window
Where I've planted my heart and my soul
It does a girl a world of good
To watch her garden grow

I say grace for the blue painted skies
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I travelled down
I say grace

I've been through the hardest of seasons
Holding my heart in my hand
And every kinda thought has a reason
Now I understand
When the roof caves in
Lets the sun shine in
Life is beautiful
Now at the end of day

I say grace for the blue painted skies
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I travelled down
I say grace

I say grace x2
