Songs For Someone

Perry Blake Songs For Someone Lyrics
1.We are not stars

I could kill a hundred times a day
Just to find something that I would want to save
Don't you know who owns the stars ?
Controls the sea ?
When I stop to catch it all, it passes me.

We are not stars
We're nothing but descendants
Of butlers and attendants
We are like cars
Rusting in a graveyard
With some forgotten saviours.

I could host a funeral tonight
Lift her dress and kiss her while she's still alive
She who kept a swallow in her mouth
Just to make it think that it was flying south.

We are not stars
We're nothing but descendants
Of butlers and attendants
We are like cars
Rusting in a graveyard
With some forgotten saviours.


2.When I'm over you

When I'm over you
And when you are over me
As we go on this journey apart and alone
Just another daydream
Just another daydream
Just another day
Just another day to dream
You can now unlock the sadness
If you ever feel the need
Don't you know what turns the planet ?
Sends those shipwrecks back to sea ?
Healing begins when the wounds have been closed
Caution the flowers, these beds may not show
Just another daydream
Just another daydream

When I'm over you
And when you are over me
Will our ghosts be together ?
So peaceful so free...
Just another daydream
Just another day dream
Fading in the moonlight
Fading in the moonlight
I don't see the wind through cold blue eyes.


3.Lies lies lies

Uptown I'm walking the streets with my dreams in a body bag
Don't try to tell me you can't me you can't really miss what you
never had
It's ok, because it's not true
It's a lie that get you by

A place full of fakes on a strange, very strange, strange
odyssey
And silly little words that you know will never mean a thing to
me

It's not right ' tell you, it's not true
It's a lie to get you by

Lies lies lies

In the cold of your room
In the warmth of the womb

Sing, celebrate celebrate with a handcuffed melody

But on that cold and lonely afternoon
Will you fade or will you bloom ?

Lies lies lies

Uptown I'm walking the streets with my dreams in a body bag
Don't try to tell me you can't me you can't really miss what you
never had

It's not true I tell you
It's not true
It's not true
It's not true


4.The fox in the winter

She was my anchor,
We spoke of marriage
And I was her lid
The fox in winter
Will sleep 'till spring
In cold blue mountains
I don't dream anymore
For there is a silence
When two rivers meet

How can this world have a place there for me and you ?

We'll weep for elvis
As we drive through the hills
The fox in winter
Is sleeping still

How can this world have a place there for me and you ?

The fox in winter
The fox in winter


5.Ava

Solitaire, solitaire
Catch the moment that I had you near
Solitude, solitude
Will good fortune make a path for you ?

Ava ava
Spending my days without you
Ava ava
Ending my days without you

Celebrate, celebrate
Cut the bows and watch this all sail away
Fear is fine, fear is mine
But when it's gone will that morning be mine?

Ava ava
Spending my days without you
Ava ava
Ending my days without you


6.Song for someone

This is a song for someone
I have yet to meet
She could be riding on the subway
Or sleeping in the street
This is a song for someone
I may never know she could be dead
In someone's memory
But how am I to know ?

This is the song for no one
I have ever known
And I don't need these old photographs
To tell me that I'm alone
This song is for someone
This song is for someone

I'll take a train that travels far
That takes me near to where you are
I'll take no radio for company
I'll take no baggage
Just a photograph

This is a song for someone
I may never know
You could be riding on the subway
You could be driving through the snow
This is a song for someone
This is a song for someone


7.You're not alone

You're not alone
Not alone
Not alone in this world

If there is fire on the water
There are silhouettes in blue
There are sails that change direction in our lives
And if you ever touch her skin
When she's sleeping next to him
Remind me if I've forgotten what it's like

You're not alone
Not alone
Not alone in this world

There is silence in the evening
There is numbness in the dawn
Where the swallows seem to hover in the sky
Ah but the flowers have not died
And though long enough I'll cry
Her laughter will stay with me 'till the end

You're not alone
Not alone
Not alone in this world

When you take him for the first time
When he has you in his arms
When his caress seems to wipe me from your mind
I will be watching from the wings
And the angels will applaud
That I stayed as I said I would
By your side

You're not alone
Not alone
Not alone in this world

If there is fire on the water
There are silhouettes in blue
There are sails that change direction in our lives.


8.Native New-Yorker

Twilight was to my life
What the daylight was to yours
And in hindsight it was twilight
That took you from me

But you're a native new yorker
You should know it all by now
You're a native new yorker

There'll be sunshine in spring
No more heartache
Though the skyline has changed
Love is on it's way

But you're a native new yorker
You should know it all by now
You're a native new yorker

Twilight was to my life
What the daylight was to yours
And in hindsight it was twilight
That took you from me


9.Tropic of cancer

Sing that song that no one wants to hear
Sing that song so loud and sing it clear
Sing that song that no one seems to know
Sing it to me slow
Bring me back to when I was a boy
Full of life and love and full of joy
Bring me back to when I was a child
Baby make me smile

Tropic of cancer
You win and you lose
Get so high and so low
And so blue

Limping to the finish with my pride
Next time it won't be somebody's bride
Yin and yang discreetly by my side
How was it for you

Tropic et cancer
You win and you lose
Get so high and so low
And so blue

Tropic of cancer
You win and you lose
Get so high and so low
And so blue


10.Travelling

It's been so long since I've seen your face
Since I've seen the one that I loved
There are no songs that tell it as it is
Tell it as it is as it was

Because I've been trying for what seems like a lifetime
I've been rolling through the years alone
And I've been travelling so long I'm getting tired
I've been travelling too long my love

It would be so good holding you again
Holding you again for a while
There are no words to tell it as it was
Tell it as it was for a time

And when your beauty starts to fade in time
And only artifice remains untouched
You'll be listening to bob getting high
You'll be listening to songs of love

It's alright it's alright it's alright it's alright

I've been trying for what seems like a lifetime
I've been rolling through the years alone
And I've been travelling so long I'm getting tired
I've been travelling too long my love

It's only moments ain't that what you said
Well, ain't that what you said my love


11.We couldn't decide

I couldn't decide
Couldn't decide
Couldn't decide

Moments of weakness
Long goodbyes
How long must lovers try ?

You couldn't decide
Couldn't decide
Couldn't decide

And how the seasons changed
But our love remained the same

We couldn't decide
Couldn't decide
Couldn't decide

Now that the feeling is gone
These moments preserved in song

We couldn't decide
Couldn't decide
Couldn't decide
We couldn't decide
Couldn't decide
Couldn't decide


12.The end of the affair

If it's the end of the affair
Then it's the end of the affair
And only time will let us know
Only time will let us know
Two hearts for the price of one
Truth will be the death of us
And only time will let it show
And no one else will ever know

That I loved you well
I loved you well
The many times when we laughed
Were the times I could cry

Amongst all at the stinking shit
Always thought I'd keep my grip
Only time has let me knew
That I can never let you go

I loved you well
I loved you well
The many times when we laughed
Were the times I could cry

If it's the end of the affair
Then it's the end of the affair.


13.Coming home

Coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home

You don't have to hide
Living in someone else's dream
You don't have to lie
Living in someone else's dream
I don't want to die
Living in someone else's dream

Coming home
I'm coming home

Coming home
I'm coming home

You don't have to try
Living in someone else's dream
You don't want to die
Living in someone else's dream

Coming home
I'm coming home
