1.Building A Mystery
Written：Sarah Mclachlan／Pierre Marchand
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith
That died before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way
Oh you're so beautiful
With an edge and a charm
But so careful
When I'm in your arms
(chorus)
'cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
Oh you're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
chorus
repeat chorus
2.Hold On
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
you know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
this isn't easier than the real thing
My love
you know that you're my best friend
you know I'd do anything for you
my love
let nothing come between us
my love for you is strong and true
Am I in heaven here or am I...
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face
Oh god if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
oh god the man I love is leaving
won't you take him when he comes to your door
Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face...
Hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
3.Good Enough
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home
why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me
Don't tell me I haven't been good to you
don't tell me I have never been there for you
don't tell me why
nothing is good enough
Hey little girl would you like some candy
your momma said that it's OK
The door is open come on outside
no I can't come out today
it's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground
who's there that makes you so afraid
you're shaken to the bone
and I don't understand
you deserve so much more than this
So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you
don't tell me why
he's never been there for you
don't you know that why
is simply not good enough
so just let me try
and I will be good to you
just let me try
and I will be there for you
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough...
4.I Will Remember You
Written：Sarah Mclachlan／Seamus Egan／Dave Merenda
I will remember you,
Will you remember me？
Don't let your life, pass you by,
Weep not for, the memories.
Remember the good times, that we had,
We let them slip away from uswhen things got bad
Clearly I first saw you, smilin' in the sun,
I wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you,
Will you remember me？
Don't let your life, pass you by,
Weep not for, the memories.
I'm so tired, but I can't sleep,
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we fell so much, yet cannot say a word,
We are screaming inside but we, can't be heard
I will remember you,
Will you remember me？
Don't let your life, pass you by,
Weep not for, the memories.
I am so afraid to love you, more afraid to lose,
Clinging to past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, a deep and endless night,
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
I will remember you,
Will you remember me？
Don't let your life, pass you by,
Weep not for, the memories.
I will remember you,
Will you remember me？
Don't let your life, pass you by,
Weep not for, the memories.
Weep not for, the memories
5.Adia
Written：Sarah Mclachlan／Pierre Marchand
Adia I do belive I've failed you,
Adia I know I've let you down
Don't you know I've tried so hard,
To love you in my way？
It's easy let it go
Adia I'm empty since you left me,
Tryin' to find a way to carry on
I've searched myself and ev'ryone
To see where we went wrong
There's no one left to finger,
There's no one left to blame
There's no one left to talk to honey
And there ain't no one to buy our innocence
'Cause we are born,
Innocent
Belive me Adia, we are still,
Innocent
It's easy we all falter,
But does it matter？
Adia I thought that we could make it,
I know I can't change the way you feel
I'll leave you with your misery,
A friend who won't betray
Pull you from your tower,
And take away your pane
show you all the beauty you possess,
If you'd only let youself belive
That we are born,
Innocent
Belive me Adia, we are still,
Innocent
It's easy we all falter,
But does it matter？
'Cause we are born,
Innocent
Belive me Adia, we are still,
Innocent
It's easy we all falter,
But does it matter？
Belive me Adia, We are still innocent
'Cause we are born,
Innocent
Belive me Adia,
We are still innocent
It's easy we all falter,
But does it matter？
6.I Love You
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
I have a smile, stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights, I stare for a while
The world around us dissappears
It's just you and me, on my island of hope
A breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you, my sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek
Oh and everytime I'm close to you,
there's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
I grieve in my condition,
For i cannot find the word to say I need you so
And I forgot, to tell you I love you
And the night's too long,
And cold here without you
Oh and everytime I'm close to you,
there's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot, to tell you I love you
And the night's too long,
And cold here without you
I grieve in my condition,
For i cannot find the word to say I need you so
7.Do What You Have To Do
Written：Sarah Mclachlan／Coleen Wolstenholme
What ravages of spirits,
Conjured this temptuos rage？
Created You a monster,
Broken by the rule of love
And fate has led you through it,
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it,
You do what you have to do
And I have the sense to recognize,
That I don't know how to let you go
Every moment marked,
With apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving,
Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you,
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you,
I do what I have to do
And I had the sense tro recognize,
That I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
Glowing ember, burning hot,
And burning slow
Deep within I'm shaken
By the violence of existing, for only you
I know I can't be with you,
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you,
I do what I have to do
And I have to sense, to recognize,
But I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
8.The Path of Thorns(Terms)
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
I knew you wanted to tell me
In your voice there was something wrong
But if you would turn your face away from me
You cannot tell me you're so strong
Just let me ask of you one small thing
As we have shared so many tears
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
Now are scattered on the wind...
CHORUS
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why
Through the years I've grown to love you
Though your commitment to most would offend
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride
Waiting for you to give in...
You never really tried or so it seems
I've had more than myself to blame
I've had enough of trying everything
And this time it is the end...
CHORUS
There's no more coming back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn...
CHORUS
Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do
Seemed to make no difference to you at all...
9.Fear
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
Morning smiles
like the face of a newborn child
innocent unknowing
Winter's end
promises of a long lost friend
speaks to me of comfort
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear I have nothing to give
Wind in time
rapes the flower trembling on the vine
nothing yields to shelter it
from above
they say temptation will destroy our love
the never ending hunger
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
I have nothing to give
We have so much to lose...
10.Possession
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied？
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...
11.Sweet Sureender
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
It doesn't mean much,
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me,
Was a cold room
I've crossed the last line,
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith,
Betrayed me
And sweet surrender,
Is all the I have to give
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
You take me in,
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me
Are you an angel,
Am I already the gone？
I only hope that I won't dissapoint you,
When I'm down here on my knees
And sweet surrender,
Is all the I have to give
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
I don't understand,
How at the touch of your hand,
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things,
I miss everything,
About you
And so it doesn't mean much,
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me,
Was a cold room
And sweet surrender,
Is all the I have to give
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
12.Ice Cream
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I've tried
and your love is better than ice cream
everyone here know how to fight
and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from
Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I've tried
oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to cry
it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from...
13.Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Written：Sarah Mclachlan／Pierre Marchand
All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Companion to our demons
they will dance, and we will play
With chairs, candles, and cloth
making darkness in the day
It will be easy to look in or out
upstream or down without a thought
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Peace in the struggle
to find peace
comfort on the way
to comfort
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love...
14.Angel
Lyrics：Sarah Mclachlan
Music：Sarah Mclachlan
Spend all your time waiting,
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason,
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction,
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And may be empty,
Oh and weightless and maybe,
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here
So tired of the straight line,
But everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and theives at your back
The storm keeps on twistin'
Keep on building the lies,
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference,
Escape one last time,
It's easier, to believe
In this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are brung from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here
