Blood

This Mortal Coil Blood Lyrics
1.I Am The Cosmos

every night I tell myself I am the cosmos
I am the wind
but that don't get you back again
just when I was starting to feel okay
you're on the phone
I never wanna be alone
never wanna be alone
I'd hate to have to take you home
wanted so much to say no


never wanna be alone
hate to have to take you home
want you to bad to say no, no


my feelings always tell me something i couldn't hide
I can confide
don't know what's going on inside
so every night I tell myself I am the cosmos
I am the wind
but that don't get you back again
I'd really like to see you again
I really want to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really want to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really want to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I know I'd like to see you again
I never want to see you again


2.Late Night

when I woke up today
and you weren't there to play
then I wanted to be with you
when you showed me your eyes
whispered love at the skies
then I wanted to stay with you

inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

when I lay still at night
seeing stars high and light
then I wanted to be with you
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you

inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

if I mention your name
turn around on a chain
then the sky opens up for you
when we grew very tall
when I saw you so small
then I wanted to stay with you

inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me


3.Mr. Somewhere

day comes up sicker than a cat
something's wrong that is that

mr. somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much

a boat from the river takes you out
'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
you take the tide, any tide, any tide
like there isn't gonna be any tide

mr. somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
missing somewhere never did figure just how much

a world like tomorrow wears things out
it's hard enough to get what's yours for now
and the hardest words are spoken softly
softly look, no hands upon

mr. somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
missing somewhere never did figure just how much

now the milkman beats you to the door
that was once a home, home no more
mr. somewhere, missing somewhere couldn't get the calendar to
stop
missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
missing somewhere, never will admit just how much


4.'Til I Gain Control Again

just like the sun over the mountain top
you know I'll always come again
you know I love the sun, my morning sun
that sunlight dancing on your skin

i've never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you
what you see is what I been
there is nothing I could hide from you
you see me better than I can
out on the road that lies before me now
there are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again

like a lighthouse you must stand alone
and mark a sailors' journey end
no matter what seas I have been sailing on
I'll always row this way again

along the roads that lie before me now
there are some turns where I will slip
I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again

I only hope that you can hold me now
'Til I can gain control again


5.Nature's Way

it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
it's nature's way of telling you in a song
it's nature's way of receiving you
it's nature's way of retrieving you
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong

it's nature's way of telling you summer breeze
it's nature's way of telling you dying trees
it's nature's way of receiving you
it's nature's way of retrieving you
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong

it's nature's way
it's nature's way
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
it's nature's way of telling you in a song
it's nature's way of receiving you
it's nature's way of retrieving you
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong


6.You And Your Sister

you say my love for you's not real
but you don't know how real it feels
all I want to do is to spend some time with you
so I can hold you, hold you

your sister says that I'm no good
I'd reassure her if I could
all I want to do is to spend some time with you
so I can hold you, hold you

plans fail every day
I'd want to hear you say
you're love won't believe me
your eyes aren't deceiving

fears will soon fade away
smile now, don't be afraid
all I want to do is to spend some time with you
so I can hold you, hold you

so let me whisper in your ear
don't you worry they can't hear
all I want to do is to spend some time with you
so I can hold you, hold you


7.I Come And Stand At Every Door

I come and stand at every door
But no one hears my silent dread
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead
I'm only seven although I've died
In Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow
My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind
I need no fruit, I need no rice
I need no sweet, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead
All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of this world
May live and grow, and laugh and play


8.With Tomorrow

It was more like a dream than reality
I must have thought it was a dream while she was here with me
When she was near I didn't think she would leave
When she was gone it was too much to believe

So with tomorrow I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
And another dream and another with tomorrow

So if there some day won't be time just to look behind
There won't be reasons, no descriptions for my place and mind
There was so much I was told that was not real
So many things that I could not taste but I could feel

So with tomorrow I will borrow
Another moment of joy and sorrow
And another dream and another with tomorrow


9.Dreams Are Like Water

the air was blue, you could hold it in your hand, blue
remember me, I once told you and I tried to
?? to realise that nothing lasts forever
?? in heart, you'll always be a child

we cried as we kissed - it was too new
we died and we lived - it was too new
too strong still too much

when you were a child unhappiness took the place of dreams
dreams are like water, colourless and dangerous
without the strength to love, way beyond fear
you could care less if you could care at all

we cried as we kissed - it was too new
we died and we lived - it was too new
too strong still too much


10.Nothing Like Blood

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away

should have been enough to change your mind
could have been enough to take your breath away


11.Help Me Lift You Up

I don't have to tell you that you're all alone
Hear what you will, you're not gone
You'll have to be with your kind
I'll have to stay with my own kind
Help me lift you up, help me lift you up

So sorry if I can't stop pretending
So sorry if I don't let you go
Like this, but not like this is ending
I think you know, I think you know
Help me lift you up, help me lift you up

I have a dream, it's very clear
You're all around, but never near
Help me lift you up, help me lift you up


12.Carolyn's Song

I heard that you said that you feel all alone
do you think that they could understand
when they told you go ahead

is it in your head are you upside down
You drive around feeling sad

and I wish you everything i ever said
do you understand ? are you feeling dead ?
are you lost ? are you sad ?
did i leave you alone ?
do you think that i don't understand
what you it's like to feel all alone?


13.Bitter

????
????
????
????
How many ways can you say goodbye
That was nothing
?? something
How many days were in dreaming
In many ways just a lie
In better days I'd be dreaming
As my life passed me by
Now pardon me for trying
Trying to tear apart
And pardon me for lying
It's just easy, so easy, to start


14.Several Times

Several times I looked in your eyes
Several times I saw you wishing to stop this
Ways much longer than, than we could see before
We started to walk, well actually we tried to go forward and...
Several times I looked in your eyes
Several times I saw you wishing to stop this


15.D. D. And E.

daylight, dreams, and echoes
daylight, dreams, and echoes
daylight, dreams, and echoes
