Trouble In Shangri-La

Stevie Nicks Trouble In Shangri-La Lyrics
1.Trouble In Shangri-la

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Stevie Nicks.

I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And i carried on, like i couldn't stop
All of it for us, baby

And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain i was in

Chorus:
I hear there's trouble in shangri-la
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in shangri-la
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back... to the sea

With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know, i generally take it

Well, i make accommodations for you
And consider this...
Well, you used to be my love
I make excuses for you

Chorus

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, i've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color

But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are so heartbroken
You say, dear god, make it stop!

Before the dawn of separation
Brings up the wind
Rises around you
I hear there's trouble in shangri-la
In pillars of color
Trouble in shangri-la
I make accommodations for you

I guess we don't believe
Things could go that far
We all believe in people...
That we think believe in god
Somewhere in the night...
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again...

Chorus


2.Candlebright

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Stevie Nicks.

For no special reason
I am leaving you for awhile tonight
I'm flying far above you
Still i love you
You make things right

I've been with you before
I'll be with you again
I'll come back for more, yea
The story has a strange ending

Chorus:
Well, you know me i'm a nomad
I can't feel bad
About the way i am
I've been rolling around
My whole life
You're my candlebright in the window

You guide me back again
And i come when you shine
You are not my friend, no
But i am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer

Chorus

Still i love you
My candlebright
You are not my friend
But still i love you
You're my candlebright
Still i love you
But you are not my friend
But still i love you


3.Sorcerer

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Stevie Nicks.

I'm tired
I'm thirsty
I'm wild eyed
In my misery
Timeless
In your finery
A high price
For your luxury

Sorcerer
Who is the master
Man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer
Show me the high life
Come over
Let me put you on ice

I'm tired
When i need you badly
Wild eyed
In the middle of your dream
Timeless
It's a mystery
All they way
Now it's never what you are

All around
Black ink darkness
Who found
The lady from the mountain

I'm tired
I'm thirsty
I'm wild eyed
In my mystery
Timeless
In your finery
A high price
For your luxury

Sorcerer
Who is the master
Man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer
Show me the high life
Come over
Let me put you on ice


4.Planets Of The Universe

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Stevie Nicks.

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by

They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

1st chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and i will simply disappear
Out of sight
But i'm afraid soon there'll be
No light

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

2nd chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain

Now i know
Well, i was wrong
To live for a dream
If i had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
I will live alone
Yes, i will live alone

1st chorus

You will never love again
The way you loved me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing


5.Everyday

Lyrics:John Shanks And Damon Johnson.
Music:John Shanks And Damon Johnson.

Don't keep me hangin' on a string
Tell me what i feel is no big thing
Don't turn away, i'm listening
Over and over again

Don't give me visions to explain
There are no doubts i feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again

Chorus:
Every day i see you
Every day i need you
Every way i breathe you
On and on and on and on again

It's not important to wonder why
What is, just is, no more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and over again

Chorus

Imagine all the ways to cope
I close my eyes, that gives me hope
It cures the silence

Chorus


6.Too Far From Texas

Lyrics:Steve Booker And Sandy Stewart
Music:Steve Booker And Sandy Stewart
Featuring:With Natalie Maines

There's a plane, it's headed for london
Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
And i can't show my love, and i can't stop it
Ooh, i can't stop it

There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
And in that moment what will he think then...
When i can't touch him

Chorus:
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that i really know is that he's goin'
Too far from texas
Too close to home

In a room just outside of houston
That's where i spend my nights trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter...
But he might never

Chorus

Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know i'm holdin' on
And that won't change no matter where he's gone

Chorus

Couldn't i, couldn't i wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day


7.That Made Me Stronger

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Scott F.Crago&Timothy Drury.

Dreams reoccur in my solitude
Breaking my heart
Injuring my mood
With all of the things that i thought i knew
It was you

Chorus:
Well the conversation rings in my head
Well you know me better than i know myself
Will you write this for me
He says no, you write your songs yourself
That made me stronger
It made me hold on to me

Well, i remember
You caught my eye
It was late september
It was no surprise
He made me better
His songs were soft and tender sometimes

Chorus

Well once more i tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And i don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind

Well once more i tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And i don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind


8.It's Only Love

I think i met my match again
Passing 'round the candlelight
In the center of this blizzard
You stood and melted all the ice

Chorus:
Ah, it's only love
Ah, it's only love
Ah, if only love comes 'round again
It will have been
Worth the ride

You were master of so many
But savior to none
I waged all of my hopes so plenty
On you, now look what i've become

Chorus

What a ride...

Someday's lonely is not only
A word, but faces i have known
And if you see me, could you free me
With a smile, so i can let go

Chorus


9.Love Changes

It wasn't that i didn't love you
I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as i tried
To make it all better
It was not better for me

The love that i gave you was...
All around you
There was nothing left for me

But i hate to say it
But i saw it coming
My feelings were changing

Chorus:
I only say what you want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving i was in tears
He knows my fears

I wish i could figure a way around this
She says...like a sad song
I don't understand the way that i feel
I am terrified of being wrong
Well, i am not happy
And i am not crazy
Are you listening, do you hear
Everything happens for a reason
Stay clear
Chorus

When love changes in the flash of an eye
It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road
You stand there, you got nothing to hold
For the first time you are alone
For the first time you are alone

It wasn't that i didn't love you
But i just couldn't make you see
That as hard as i tried to make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that i gave you was all around you
There was nothing left for me
But i hate to say it
But i saw it coming
My feelings were changing

Chorus

That don't mend the sorrow
Or reinvent the pleasure


10.I Miss You

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Rick Nowels.

When i think about you
I think about how much i
Miss you when you're not around
When i think about you
I think about how much i
Can't wait to hear the sound
Of your laughter
Time and distance never matter

Chorus:
Well i miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me

Seems like yesterday
I think about how much i
Wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And i'm sorry now
I'm sorry now

Chorus

Paris to rome, london to paris
Always goodbye, i nearly couldn't bear it
Her heart settles down
She's back on that staircase
On the way up to her place

Chorus


11.Bombay Sapphire

You--beloved
Were to me--everything
That love stood for
To love one another for awhile
Was enough--
It was all that i lived for
How can i go on without you
How can i go on--without you
I tell myself--this time
I'm going to have to--
Move on

Chorus:
It's like
Bombay sapphire
Hey i can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart

It is green
It is aqua marine
It is colors i have never seen
I can see past you--to the white sand...
It is blue
It is not about you
It is all true
You know--who i am

And she says, the sea never changes--not really
It is the constant in my life
I always return here
To the flash of those colors
Through every window
The wind through the night
Here i am dramatic
Here i am not waiting
For the call of the wind

Chorus

It's like purple haze
It's there every day
Its passion never fades
You know what i mean


12.Fall From Grace

Lyrics:Stevie Nicks.
Music:Stevie Nicks.

I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily

Chorus:
Wake up with a stranger
It's not something you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together

You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this

Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high

Chorus

And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was i so wrong
Why am i always so intense
In this same place i sit
The same place as before
Well i came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door

I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well it's not enough that you depend on me
And it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace

Sometimes
You just fall from grace

Maybe i am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe i made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reason i say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Maybe i fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive


13.Love Is

Do you know what this is
No, i don't
But whatever it is
It's very powerful
Have you felt this way before
Oh, i thought i knew
Do you know that i love you now
Oh yes, i do
Love is
You've got the softest lips

You know that i cannot stay
Yes, i know
It has nothing to do
With you or with love
Oh, yes it does
Do not call or come around here
Do not tell
You know that i loved you then
Oh well...

Love is
You've got the softest lips
Love is
The touch of your fingertips
Love is
Knowing you won't let go

She awakens things
That he said he thought were dead
He says, are you happy now
Oh yes, i am
But when it's over
How then will you feel
Will you miss those arms that used to go
Around you

So she stood there in the hallway frozen
In the dark
And her heart broke down
She cried
She fell to the floor

One tear
Slid across her lips
To the corner of her mouth
Love is
And dropped to the floor
Love is
You've got the softest lips
Love is
The touch of your fingertips
Ooh, she says love is
Knowing you won't let go
Love is
Watching you go
You're so very powerful
Love is

Am i happy
Yes i am
Do i know you love me now
Yes i do
Do i know you cannot stay
I know
All about love
All about love

You're so very powerful
