K. D. Lang Recollection Lyrics
1.Trail Of Broken Hearts(Remastered)

Trail of broken hearts looking back at you
Now and from the start these words will travel true
The godspeed of trust will settle
The dust we've been passing through

Broken trail so long a long and tired past
And emptiness has gone i've found this place at last
And here will remain with only the aim of staying sure and fast
Leaving just a part down the trail of broken hearts

Trail of broken hearts looking back at you
Now and from the start these words will travel true
The godspeed of trust will settle the dust we've been passing
through
Leaving just a part down the trail of broken hearts

Trail of broken hearts


2.Constant Craving(Remastered)

Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

Constant craving
Has always been

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom
To its youth

Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been

Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been


3.The Air That I Breathe(Remastered)

If i could make a wish
I think i'd pass
Can't think of anything i need

No cigarettes no sleep
No light no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What else could i ask?
There's nothing to be desired

Peace came upon me
And it leaves me weak
So sleep silent angel
Go to sleep

Sometimes
All i need is the air that i breathe
And to love you
And i need is the air that i breathe
And to love you
All i need is the air that i breathe

Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What more could i ask?
There's nothing to be desired

Sometimes
All i need is the air that i breathe
And to love you
And i need is the air that i breathe
And to love you
All i need is the air that i breathe

Peace came upon me
And it leaves me weak
So sleep silent angel
Go to sleep
Sleep silent angel
Go to sleep


4.Helpless(Remastered)

There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
And tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless


5.You're OK(Remastered)

I am wrought with paranoia
For i have brought myself before you
Nakedly awaiting you're okay

Now could it be that i annoy you?
Flaunting ways that i adore you
I have no control here either way

I awake at night with it
And in spite of it it unravels me
It's begun to frighten me

Is it so that my persistence
Blocks the path of least resistance?
Maybe i'm just getting in your way

But i'm alright
If you're okay
I'm alright
If you're okay

Can you offer some assistance?
Let me in on how for instance
I should be convincing you to sway

I awake at night with it
And in spite of it it unravels me
It's begun to frighten me

But i'm alright
If you're okay
Yeah i'm alright
If you're okay


6.Western Stars(Remastered)

Western stars light up the sky
Hear the desert wind roll by
Tonight tonight

Western stars can break your heart
They keep shinin' when we're apart
Tonight tonight

I watch i wait
How long will my heart ache
Tonight oh tonight
I watch i wait
My heart is bound to break
Tonight

Western stars light up the sky
Tonight i'm alone to cry
Tonight

I watch i wait
My heart is bound to break
Tonight

Tonight tonight


7.The Valley(Remastered)

I live in the hills
You live in the valleys
And all that you know
Are these blackbirds

You rise every morning
Wondering what in the world
Will the world bring today
Will it bring you joy
Or will it take it away?

And every step you take
Is guided by
The love of the light on the land
And the blackbird's cry
You will walk you will walk
You will walk in good company

Valley is dark the burgeoning holding
The stillness obscured by their judging
You walk through the shadows
Uncertain and surely hurting
Deserted by the blackbirds
And the staccato of the staff

And though you trust the light
Towards which you wend your way
Sometimes you feel all that you wanted
Has been taken away
You will walk you will walk
You will walk in good company

I love the best in you
You love the best in me
Though it is not always easy
Lovely lonely
We will walk we will walk
We will walk in good company

The shepherd upright and flowing
You see


8.Summerfling(New Intro Edit)

Early morning mid-july anticipation's makin' me high
The smell of sunday in our hair
You ran on the beach with kennedy flair

Sweet sweet burn of sun and summer wind
And you my friend my new fun thing
My summerfling
Laugh oh how we would laugh at anything
And so pretend of never ending summerfling

This uncommon kind of breeze
Did with our hearts whatever it pleased
Forsake the logic of perfect plans
A perfect moment slipped through our hands

Sweet sweet burn of sun and summer wind
And you my friend my new fun thing
My summerfling
Laugh oh how we would laugh at anything
And so pretend of never ending summerfling

Strange the wind can change so quickly
Without a word of warning
Rearrange our lives until' they're torn in two

Sweet sweet burn of sun and summer wind
You my friend my new fun thing
My summerfling
Laugh oh how we would laugh at anything
And so pretend of never ending summerfling

Sweet sweet burn of sun and summer wind
And you my friend my new fun thing
My summerfling


9.Miss Chatelaine(Remastered)

Just a kiss just a kiss
I have lived just for this
I can't explain why i've become
Miss chatelaine

Just a smile just a smile
Hold me captive just a while
I can't explain why i've become
Miss chatelaine

Every time your eyes meet mine
Clouds of qualm burst into sunshine

I'm just a sigh i'm just a sigh
Words my love just reply
I can't explain why i've become
Miss chatelaine
Miss chatelaine

Just a smile just a smile
Hold me captive just a while
I can't explain why i've become
Miss chatelaine

Every time your eyes meet mine
Clouds of qualm burst into sunshine

Just a kiss just a kiss
I have lived just for this
I can't explain why i've become
Miss chatelaine
Miss chatelaine

Miss chatelaine
Miss chatelaine
Miss chatelaine


10.I Dream Of Spring(Remastered)

She arrives like autumn in a rainstorm
The threat of thunder above
I'll return from the streets of melbourne
I'll return my love

This is world is filled with frozen lovers
The sheets of their beds are frightfully cold
And i've slept there in the snow with others
Yet loved no others before

These cold dark places places i've been
In cold dark places i dream of spring

This world is filled frozen lovers
The sheets of their beds are frightfully cold
And i've slept there in the snow with others
Yet loved no others before

These cold dark places places i've been
In cold dark places i dream of spring
In cold dark places i dream of spring


11.Hallelujah(Remastered)

I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
You don't really care for music do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth the fifth
The minor fall the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Well she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah

Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked the floor
Used to live alone before i knew ya
But i've seen your flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah

Maybe theres a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and broken hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah


12.Help Me(Remastered)

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get
That crazy feeling
I know
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler
And a gambler
And a sweet-talking
Ladies man
And you love your loving
But not like you
Love your freedom

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me
Hoping for the future
And worrying
About the past
'Cause I've seen
Some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke
And ash
We love our loving
But not like
We love our freedom

Didn't it feel good
We were sitting
There talking
Or there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole
In her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love with you
Are you going to
Let me go
There by myself
That's such
A lonely thing to do
Both of us
Flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our loving
But not like
We love our freedom


13.Hush Sweet Lover(Remastered)

Hush sweet lover hush
And gently hold me in your trust
Lay down your walls
Let me love you with lust

Hush sweet lover hush
And gently fold me in your touch
I beg of you hush lover hush

Fall sweet lover fall
Fall giving me all
All you can give
Lover please give me all

Hush sweet lover hush
And gently sway this waking crush
Soothe my desire
And my wanting you so

Hush sweet lover hush
And gently stay within our trust
I beg of you hush lover hush

Fall sweet lover fall
Fall giving me all
All you can give
Lover please give me all

I'm willing to fall
I'll give you my all
All i can give
I'll give my all

Hush sweet lover hush
And gently hold me in your trust
Lay down your walls
Let me love you with lust

Hush sweet lover hush
And gently fold me in your touch
I beg of you hush lover beg of you hush
Lover i'm begging you hush lover hush


14.Beautifully Combined(New Song)

Have the gods lost their minds
Are they acting out of kindness?
To send a vision such as you
Now the object of my blindness

The alchemy of inner worlds
Can they possibly explain it?
All the grace that you possess
With my complexity and plainness.

You and i
Beautifully combined

Beyond knowing why
Truth is you and i


15.Crying(Duet W / Roy Orbison)(Remastered)

I was alright for a while i could smile for a while
Then i saw you last night you held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say 'hello'
You wished me well you couldn't tell

That i'd been crying over you
Crying over you then you said 'so long'
And left me standing all alone
Alone and crying

Crying crying crying
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that i was over you
But it's true so true
I love you even more than i did before
But darling what can i do?
No you don't love me and i'll always be

Crying over you crying over you
Yes now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying crying crying crying
Crying crying over you


16.Love For Sale(Remastered)

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled, love for sale

Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise? Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish way
I know every type of love
Better far than they

If you want the thrill of love
I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love
Everything but true love

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
If you want to try my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs, love for sale


17.Golden Slumbers / The End(Remastered)

once there was a way to get back homeward
once there was a way to get back home
sleep pretty darling do not cry
and i will sing a lullabye

golden slumbers fill your eyes
smiles await you when you rise
sleep pretty darling do not cry
and i will sing a lullabye

once there was a way to get back homeward
once there was a way to get back home
sleep pretty darling don't you cry
i'll sing a lullabye

and in the end
the love you take
is equal to the love
you make

golden slumbers fill your eyes
smiles await you when you rise
sleep pretty darling do not cry
i will sing a lullabye


18.Barefoot(Remastered)

When the sun goes down here and darkness falls
The blanket of winter leaves no light at all
You search for shelter to calm the storm
Shaking with an instinct just to stay warm

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot

You hear the howling of dogs and wind
Stirring up the secrets that are frozen within
The ice will haunt you it lays so deep
Locking up inside you the dreams that you keep

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot

This wind through my soul blows cold

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
Oh i'd walk

I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot


19.Moonglow(Duet W / Tony Bennett)(Remastered)

Like someone that hasn't any country
Like a stranger visiting from Mars
I went around alone, just like a rolling stone
Until I read a message in the stars

It must have been moonglow, 'way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you saying, 'Dear one, hold me fast'
And I start in praying, Oh Lord, please let this last
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'rywhere
And now when there's moonglow 'way up in the blue
I always remember that moonglow gave me you

It must have been moonglow, 'way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you saying, 'Dear one, hold me fast'
And I start in praying, Oh Lord, please let this last
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'rywhere
And now when there's moonglow 'way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you


20.So In Love(Remastered)

Strange dear but true dear
When i'm close to you dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am i

Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know darling why
So in love with you am i

In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
With a thought that you might care

So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me desert me
I'm yours till i die
So in love with you am i

In love with my joy delirious
The thought that you might care

So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me desert me
I'm yours till i die
So in love so in love
So in love with you my love am i


21.Calling All Angels(Duet W / Jane Siberry)(Remastered)

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
And high above him you hear the church bells start to ring.
The heaviness, the heaviness of it settles in,
A mother starts to sing.

Then it's one foot then the other as you step along the road
Steppin' on the road, how much weight, how much weight?
And it's how long and how far and how many times,
Oh, before it's too late?

Calling all angels, calling all angels.
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone.
Calling all angels, calling all angels.
We're trying, we're hoping, but we're not sure how

Oh and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity.
Why it's almost as if, if you could only crack the code
You'd finally understand what this all means.

Oh but if you could, do you think you would
Have traded all the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you would've missed the beauty of the light
Upon this earth
And the sweetness of the leaving.

Calling all angels, calling all angels!
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone
Calling all angels, calling all angels,
We're trying, we're hoping but we're not sure

Calling all angels(call all angels)
Calling all angels(call all angels)
Walk me through this one
Don't leave me alone.

Calling all angels, calling all angels
We're trying, we're hoping, we're hurting, we're loving
We're crying, we're calling,
But we're not sure how this goes


22.Hallelujah(New Version)

I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
You don't really care for music do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth the fifth
The minor fall the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Well she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah

Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked the floor
Used to live alone before i knew ya
But i've seen your flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah

Maybe theres a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and broken hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah
