Secret Symphony

Katie Melua Secret Symphony Lyrics
1.Gold In Them Hills

I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start
Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills


2.Better Than A Dream

I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night
I dreamed in colour,
'cos I lived in black and white.
Until I chanced upon this road that led to you,
I couldn't see
How anything could be

Chorus:
.. Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation,
it's better than a dream.
Higher than the moon,
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
Crazy and in confusion,
And better than a dream.

I used to wish I was beyond some distant door,
I knew there must be more to life
and now I'm sure.
No dreams of pirate caves,
or indian braves, or magic carpets could
Ever be this good,

Chorus..

And better than a dream.


3.The Bit That I Don't Get

Chorus:
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get.

So call me a foll
I do!
But no longer the fool beside you
And I'm learning from the pain
Won't be doing that again!

Chorus:
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get!

People break up everyday
But I never thought
I would wake up to hear you say
Forever now means never!

Chorus:
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get!


4.Moonshine

Well my eyes are closed, but my heart's on fire
Because the clock is approaching the midnight hour
I leave my window open, all the lights are out
And from the darkest night comes the lightest shout

Moonshine, moonshine moon
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Moonshine, moonshine moon
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon

Well as we walk through the streets, there's no-one nowhere
And our nightgown's trailing and our feet are bare
I don't know where we're going and I don't care
Just as long as you're here and the moon's up there

Moonshine, moonshine moon
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Moonshine, moonshine moon
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon

Now all the little boys and girls around the town
Dreaming through the darkness till the moon goes down
But me and my baby gonna be up all night
Dancing under the moonlight

Moonshine, moonshine moon
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Moonshine, moonshine moon
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, moonshine moon


5.Forgetting All My Troubles

There's a secret, the golden flower knows
When you're falling in love
There's a silence, the ending darkness feels
When you're singing with love

Remembering life, a good blessed life
I'm forgetting all my troubles
I'm forgetting all my troubles

There's a summer, a frozen heart recalls
When you're breathing with love
There's a pathway, the silver candle shines
When you're seeing with love

Remembering life, a good blessed life
I'm forgetting all my troubles
I'm forgetting all my troubles

There's a quivering, the waken forest gives
When you're dancing with love
There's a humming, the diamond raindrops hum
When you're crazy with love

Remembering life, a good blessed life
I'm forgetting all my troubles
I'm forgetting all my troubles


6.All Over The World

All over the world
People must meet and part,
There's someone like me
Feeling the pain in the heart.

Someone may meet again
Under the same bright star,
If maybe some night
You come back from afar.
Who cares if tonight
I don't know where you are.

Are you thinking of me now?
Missing having me around?
If you have forgotten me
My world will come tumbling down.

All over the world
Others are sad tonight
There's someone like me
Watching the sun's fading light.

All over the sky
There is the same warm glow,
Here under that star
I'm wanting you to know

...Wherever you are that I still love you so.
...Wherever you are that I still love you so.


7.Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spending all my money, I didn't care.
Taking my friends out for a magic time,
Bought whiskey, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I didn't know where to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In my pocket, not one penny,
And my friends, I haven't any.

When I finally get back up on my feet again,
Everybody wanna be my long-lost friend.
It's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Nobody... when you're down and out.

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In my pocket, not one penny,
And my friends, I haven't any.

When I get myself back on my feet again,
Everybody wanna be my long-lost friend.
It's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

...when you're down and out.
...when you're down and out.


8.The Cry Of The Lone Wolf

Everybody told me to walk away
Though you made me feel good.
I was just a fool, didn't hear them say
Love is like a wild wood.

Something in the way I was lost and found
Something made it feel right.
Spirited away by a haunting sound
Calling in the deep night.

They told me not to listen
To the cry of the lone wolf.
Next time I won't listen
To the cry of the lone wolf.

Following the smoke of your glowing fire
Shining through the twilight,
Then you slipped away as the flames grew higher
Back into the deep night.

They told me not to listen
To the cry of the lone wolf.
Next time I won't listen
To the cry of the lone wolf.
Next time I won't listen
To the cry of the lone wolf.


9.Heartstrings

Is it a game, or is it a show?
We don't really care, we don't really give a damn.
You're like an angel playing with my heartstrings.

For life or a day, for real or pretend,
If I had my way, this feeling would never end.
You're like an angel playing with my heartstrings.

You're asking me not to leave you,
And baby that makes me smile.
Let's get our house with a sea-view
Forever or just for a little while.

We'll drink some champagne, we'll look at the stars
And do it again cause baby the world is ours.
You're like an angel playing with my heartstrings.

Sometimes I think we're only,
On a day trip to Disneyland.
But remember that night you got lonely
And asked my daddy for my hand.

Having a bite, having a ball,
Talking all night and dancing until we fall.
You're like an angel playing with my heartstrings.

You don't call me for days, heaven forbid,
The next thing you say you want me to have your kids.
You're like an angel playing with my heartstrings.
You're like an angel playing with my heartstrings.


10.The Walls Of The World

The sun is only shining like it always does
But I never noticed it in the sky before
And you don't need to worry
'Cause I need your love, my friend

There's a strong kind of feeling when I know you're near
Nobody alive can take it away from me
And I feel like I've known you for a thousand years
Bring it out into the light

'Cause I think I'm gonna write it on the walls of the world
So everyone will know today the love I hold for you
I will write it on the walls of the world
So that the sun won't fade away the words I say to you
I love you

And I know I'm not a loser when I'm on my own
I could be miles away in another land
And it keeps me together when I'm far from home
I won't keep it out of sight

And I think I'm gonna write it on the walls of the world
So everyone will know today the love I hold for you
I will write it on the walls of the world
So that the sun won't fade away the words I say to you
I love you


11.Secret Symphony

You're like a secret symphony that was created just for me
Some knowing mind some guiding hand
Must have designed, must have planned it.
You're like a garden in a land
Of barren rock and lonely sand,
Where rain can fall
Where grass can grow,
And through it all, I can love you so.
Isn't it strange but it's only a feeling,
Isn't it weird it feels like I'm stealing your soul?
Isn't it wild, this world we know now?
You're like a prayer I was scared to say
The one who might have got away
Somebody worth all I've had to face
No one on earth could replace you.
You're like a secret symphony that was created just for me
Some knowing mind some guiding hand
Must have designed, must have planned it.
