The Wilsons The Wilsons Lyrics
1.'till I Die

I'm a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean
How deep is the ocean

I lost my way
Hey hey hey

I'm a rock in a landslide
Rollin' over the mountainside
How deep is the valley
How deep is the valley

It kills my soul
Hey hey hey

I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon i'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow
How long will the wind blow
'til i die...

And all these things i'll be
Until i die...


2.Candy

I saw her there at the back of the bus
Slipping in and out of consciousness
Some guy was blowing smoke into her mouth
Laughing with a madman's look on his face

And she was smiling
She was on cloud eight
Missing her stops
Playing with fate
With no one to hold her
And no one to see
She falls to the floor and whispers to me
In the dark, in the dusk, in the dawning...

Chorus:
I'm candy
How sweet is my name
I'm everybody's daughter
But no one seems to know her
I'm candy
And you're all to blame
Your american daughter
One more for the slaughter

In the walls of her mind
There's a girl another time
And she's dancing in the park
And in her mother's arms
With her mother's heart

And they're laughing in the rain
And here she is a laughing again
It's not funny anymore
To hear her whisper from behind the door
In the dark, in the dusk, in the dawning

(chorus)

Can you understand candy?
Candy can't understand...

In the day, in the dark
In the dusk, 'til the dawn...
Candy...

(chorus)

She don't understand...


3.Everything

I don't want to like you, but i love your thoughts
I don't want to miss you, but i do anyway
I don't want to harm you
I don't want to alarm you
I am the iron fist in a velvet glove

Chorus:
It's everything
You say love is a bed of nails
It's everything
Cadillacs and fairy tales
It's everything to me

I don't want to want you, but i'm gonna try
I don't want to shake you, but i think i could anyway
I don't want to hide you
I don't want to bribe you
This life is lonly like an ider down

(chorus)

Down in the alley
I'm in a haven
A rainbow in a jar
I'm sleeping in my car

Everything
It's everything it would be, could be
It's a fairy tale and a bed of nails

It's everything
Satellites and starry nights
It's everything, everything to me
It's everything
You say love is a bed of nails
It's everything
And i'm strange, but i'm free...

I don't want to love you, but i guess i will...


4.Everything I Need

We've been through so much
We've stayed in close touch
Seems like we've always been together
We've sung the same song
Unchanged for so long
Guess we'll be singing it forever

Chorus:
When love begins so easily
It feels like it was meant to be
You're the special lover heaven chose me
And after all is said and done
We've had ou fights, we've had our fun
And your the only one who really knows me
And everything i need i find in you

Time keeps on going
Love keeps on growing
And all the changes that we go through
Are so revealing, they leave me feeling
I'm just so happy that i know you...

(chorus)

Everyone i ever knew
Is looking for a someone who
Can fit into the spaces in their dreams
Don't know where we're heading to
But here is me and there is you
For so it seems...

Whatever happens
We'll make it happen
Don't have to worry about tomorrow
We have each other
And we'll discover
Life has it's happiness and sorrow...

But we'll continue come what may
Love grows stronger day by day
As we discover so much more about it
It feels so right it feels so good
It feels the way a true love should
I can't imagine living life without it
'cause everything i need i find in you...

Love keeps on growing...


5.Goddess' Revival

I wake up in the garden
A wind across my hair
The bloom of jasmine and the
Night sky satin
Softly she is there
The trail of light she leaves
Like sand in an hourglass
I listen to her voice at last

I am your past
Goddess' revival
I'll be your path
One of her disciples
Please take my task
Goddess' revival...

It was dark and so quiet
Venus led psyche to the rosey dawn
She's only beginning to fight like she's winning
Through seasons, years, and eras, she carries on
I walk the way she walks
Leaving trails of golden light
I listen to her voice tonight

I am your past
Goddess' revival
I'll be your friend
One of her disciples
Please take my hand
Godess' revival...

Now i can see the light
You've got to learn from me
You've got a lot to learn
Goddess...

I am your past
Goddess' revival
I'll be your friend
One of her disciples
Please take my hand
Goddess' revival...

I am goddess' revival
One of her disciples
Take me to the land
I'll show you what i am


6.Good About You

Seize the day
And it will pay
And you can find that running stream
Multiply
Watch it fly
Near of far or in between
I love the rush
But i don't understand it much
I love it
Place your fool's bet

Chorus:
I wanna wear black 'cause it makes me feel good
I wanna be brave 'cause i know that i should
And i wanna feel good about you
Whoa...
I wanna feel good
Good about you

Spin the wheel
It's never real
And life is like a movie scene
Cast away
Learn to play
Like the cat who got the cream

I love the rush
But i don't understand it much
I love it
Place your fool's bet

(chorus)

Sometimes your luck runs dry (runs dry)
No matter how hard you try (you try)
Can't seem to hit that winning streak
You're changing over so fast (so fast)
The future's already past (has past)
Not every rose you smell is sweet

The queen of hearts is my lucky card
Are you my king?
Or just another joker in the pack?
You changed everything

(chorus)


7.I Hate Your Face

I was with you in venusian times
With sea colored angels
White stallions and goblets of wine
It was always you

We watched the ice melt down
We danced in victorian towns
The plains can change but the face remains

I feel you
I see you
Everywhere i look

Chorus:
I hate your face
'cause i love your face
You know i can't explain
The way it wracks my brain
You know it makes me cry
We never said good bye
I hate your face
'cause i love your face
I've been looking for you all of this life
Through six-sided windows
Like a vacant room in a crowded mind
We're children born of the sea
Tangled eternally
Oh, i need to touch you

And feel you
I see you
Everywhere i look

(chorus)

Don't do it...you're following my heart
You knew it...you're following my soul...
And i think there's a connection

(chorus)

I never did want to love you
I thought i was over you

I hate your face
'cause i love your face


8.Miracle

Time
Time makes a mockery
Of all your dreams
This is a certainty

You would cry
If you knew

Life
Life has no alibis
For all it's crimes
This i can testify

You would cry
If you knew
What it could do to you
You would cry if you knew

Chorus:
Am i a fool to expect a miracle?
Such a fool to be so gullible?
Ooh i need a miracle
Tonight...

Once we were innocent
But all our lives
We've been taught to repent

I would cry
'cause i knew
What you were going through
I would cry
'cause i knew

(chorus)

Expect a miracle...


9.Monday Without You

Yesterday, it was you and i
Living in make believe
In your eyes i was number one
And you were all the world to me
But you have another life
You're going to somewhere where i don't belong

Chorus:
I can't think about monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but sunday
And the touch of you
I only want to be with you
Can't think about monday without you

In an empty room
Waiting for a reason why
Tryin', cryin', dyin'
I know that it's over but i don't want to hear you say good-bye

(chorus)

Monday without you...

I always knew i couldn't keep you
But all i can think about
Is holding you, loving you, just one more night

(chorus)


10.Not Your Average Girl

Wilted flower
Desert rain
Just illusions
Nothing has changed
Look at the fire grow
Look at the fire glow

Chorus:
I tried to live inside your world
But i'm just not your average girl

I can't miss you
I can't hold on to this notion
I can't cast away my feelings anymore
My mind was twisted (in a circle)
It was turning (round and round)
And i wanted to breath
And i wanted to be true

(chorus)

Loud like thunder rolling over
Long nights pondering my future
Faded colors in my heart
I'm not saying that i'm lyin' down and dyin'
God i know that sometime soon i'll find my way

(chorus)

I can't miss you
I can't fall into this notion
I can't cast away my feelings anymore
My mind was twisted (in a circle)
It was turning (round and round)
'cause i wanted to breath
And i wanted to leave you

(chorus)

Wilted flower
Desert rain


11.Open Door

Come around whenever you're lonly
Come around from out of the blue
You know things change they often do
But i always thought i'd be close to you
Come around from out of nowhere
Come around whenever you can
When the rain's so loud that you just can't sleep
I will be the secret that you can't keep
Come around
Again and again

Chorus:
Whatever you need me for
I'm all i ever was and even more
No matter what came before
I'll always leave an open door...

You come around
Whenever you're bleeding
You come around
When you need a cure

When the night's so dark that you cannot see
Somehow you find your way back to me
Come around when nothing is sure

You're a million miles from me
I've been a million miles from you
Just remember what is true...
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can shake you from my heart
No will, no pain, no hate
No memory can fade that easy

(chorus)

Come around whenever you're lonly
Come around...


12.St. Joan

Shake me if i scream
Hold me if i cry
Read to me if i crash again tonight
My heart's waiting for thunder
So catch all the rain on your face
All the trains went by
The station master's eye

Wept for me
Prayed for me
Horses on a hill
Ate his cake
And god was late
Took another pill

Chorus:
St. joan
Burning in my bed
What can i do there's voices in my head
Butterflies and lullabies
Here inside my kerosene dream

Lighting up the sky at night
Burning in the candlelight
Waking up the sun

Are you only waiting for yourself
Are you lonely like crystal on the shelf

Blue is the color of darkness
In my room
I found out a little too late
It's just another stage
You think you've come of age

Drop me off
Flip me out
Stand me by the wall
Sing to me
Bring to me
I am ten feet tall

(chorus)

Lighting up the sky at night
Burning in the candlelight
Waking up the sun

Stay with me
Hold me if you can
Play with me
Write to me
Remember what you said

(chorus)

St. joan
Stay with me...
