Passenger

Tara Mclean Passenger Lyrics
1.Jericho

match around
Jericho loved the music and fell
into your arms breathless

heard a sound
shut my eyes so tight
heard the whisper of a strom coming

oh, funny how
I spent this time waiting around
it's a lie
everything you felt until now

saw her dancing
the floor gave way
opened its mouth
to say her name

saw her falling
cast away
shw learned to fly one day

oh, funny how
I spent this time waiting around
it's a lie
everything you felt until now

some place I've always been
I'm just lost on these roads again
just as I got near the end
I keep falling in the holes you left in me

oh, funny how
I spent this time waiting around
it's a lie
everything you felt until now


2.Divided

check your weapons at the door
you don't live here anymore
for a heart cannot repent
when it doesn't knowit's spent
its lifetime besting itself to death

there you are still as stone
sretching skin over bone
well they say I've lost my will
but I'm just standing still
in a world that swallows cowards
for the crime of killing time

I'll be checking out the scenery
from as high as I can be
come let faith be your garden
always changing always still
still breathing

there you are in my mind
pale from living underground
divided and divided
until no one can be found
nothing left to break down

I'll be checking out the scenery
from as high as I can be
come let faith be your garden
always changing always still
still breathing


3.If I Fall

it seems so far to go
it took so long to get here
now I'm saying things I swore I'd never say
and I'm afraid again

I thought I had it in me
I used to be so sure
there I was stronger than ever
here I am balming the hurt

and if I fall
I will find a way back to my hands
I'm the only one who can help me find my feel again
sweet little fighter
sweet little scar
sweet little fire in my heart

it seems so easy now
everything I dreamed about when I was a child
it looks like a good place here
so I think I will stay for a while

and if I fall...

you came here screaming
and never stopped to listen to your one and only
prayer
a place for you somewhere

sweet little fighter
sweet little scar
sweet little fire in my heart

and if I fall


4.Reach

why did you look the other way
when I told you I had something to say
can you imagine that
can you imageine that it could be

why do you scream at everything unfair
tell me would you know the truth if it were there
if you would reach for me
if you would reach for me it could be

something real
when your faith has left before the morning
someone there softly breathing
a body to awaken
when the time comes to tear you
a cruel enemy
you could hold on to me

what is there that strips you of your pride
there is nothing left of you inside
if you would reach for me
if you would reach for me it could be

something real


5.Dry Land

looks like something's coming
looks like there's gonna be s storm
looks like everyone's running
looks like everyone's torn

hands to blades
as daylight fades
hold this shaking hand
swimming from dry land

looks like everyone's broken
looks like everyone's lost
look at all the money we're making
we don't even see what it's cost

hands to guns
as night time comes
hold this shaking hand
swimming from dry land

looks like war in the vally
looks like war in the sky
looks like war on the playground
first thing you learn is to lie

hands to skies
for morning's rise
why can't we start again
swimming from day land
swimming from day land
swimming from day land


6.Jordan

forty years the wilderness held my sad children
promises of lands that flow with milk and honey
hold me Jordan
oh hold me Jordan
the builders of the wall the temple fell
the sun and moon stood still circles by
the twelve stones of Jordan
oh hold me Jordan

tomorrow you will walk on water
twelve stones
twelve stonesof Jordan
tomorrow you will take me down to the river
twelve stones
twelve stones of Jordan

divided we're the waters at the feet of the priests
did you see me Joshua standing in the Jordan?
see the open wounds flowing from your hands
flowing from your feet
oh hold me Jordan

tomorrow you will walk

are you hungry my sad children
are you thirsty, run to the river
are you angry my sad children
take the twelve stones
twelve stones of Jordan


7.Passenger

have you been the broken one
lying by the side of the road
waiting for a good Samaritan
but no one has the time to ask
why are you bleeding
and are you going far

all the rest has left
this burden on my chest
can you see the air is angry
collapsing into nothing
the soul has risen
but never has forgive
so we stay and starve the heart to make a living

have you seen the hungry ones
digging in the sand
once a sleeping passenger
awoke into this tired land
last chance to find out where I am

all the rest has left
this burden on my chest
can you see the air is angry
collapsing into nothing
the soul has risen
but never has forgive
so we stay and starve the heart to make a living


8.Settling

am I real am I true
am I borrowed am I blue
is it just the dust of leaving you
settling

am I fair am I strong
when I'm there do I belong
is it only skin I touch when I reach for you

all the leaves they fall
they go so far sometimes
do I blame the wind
or the tree that let it go
or do I wave goodbye
settling

do I stay and do I fight
is it wrong when nothing's right
or is it just the closet light
I leave on for you

the leaves they fall
they go so far sometimes
do I blame the wind
or the tree that let it go
or do I wave goodbye
settling

so many times I've needed you to be strong for me
but you bend beneath the slightest breeze
you have no leaves
no leaves
no leaves
settling

am I real am I blue
do I stay and do I fight
is it just the closet light
is it only skin touch
or is it just the dust
settling





Reality?

































Reality?







9.Poor Boy

poor boy
no one on his arm
he's got tongue for talent
head off and your feet on
you want it
hungry now and begging for my skin

you said you said
I feel good all over
you said you said
there's never been another
like me like me
there's nobody like me
baby it's a shame
that you can't say the same

you wrap me in
take a look take a lick mmm
it's the cure for anything
you want my deepest thoughts
want to catch me hot
well, everybody's got their going rate

you said you said....


10.La Tempete


11.Blinded

there's a fire on the mountain
a path through the sea
you were blinded by the flames in me

there's a brokenland I've seen it
here to swallow love
I can feel my fingers slipping

maybe I don't know what love is
but it isn't this

there's a truth long forgotten
a trust long denied
and a child somewhere hungry and crying

and maybe I don't know what love is
but it isn't this

there's a path through the mountain
fire on the sea
you were blinded by the flames in me


12.Higher

if I could spend my fire in awe
of everything I ever saw
you'd be the one to lift me up
higher than I am

if the sky came crashing down
you'd be the only star I found
of all those scattered on the ground
I'd hold you in my hand
higher
higher
higher than I am

so this is where I long to be
from now until eternity
a shepherd of the soul to me
and I will be the lamb
higher
higher
higher than I am

I see you sleeping now
invincible and golden
there's nowhere else to go from here
higher
higher
higher than I am
