Vanessa Daou Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Zero G

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

Sometimes we can sink so low
Deep down where there's nowhere to go
But it don't bother me no, no
No, it don't bother me, Zero G

Sometimes we can fall so hard
Didn't know we could bend so far
But it don't bother me no, no
No, it don't bother me

Sometimes we can break like glass
Hold on before we crash
But it don't bother me no, no
No, it don't bother me

Sometimes we can drag like stone
But it don't bother me no, no
Sometimes we can sink so low
But it don't worry me no, no
No, it don't worry me


2.Show Me

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

Show me your secret places
Behind the world I know
Let me in those darker spaces
A thousand miles below

Show me all your stormy nights
When distant thunder rolls
Let me feel your desolation
In the rain and icy cold

Show me the edges of your life tonight
'Cause we've got nowhere left to go
Show me the freest kind of love tonight
All the world will never know

Show me your wilderness
Your wander lusting eyes
Tell me all your guilty sins
And all your little lies

Show me where your island is
Out on the open sea
Tell me where your desert blooms
And where your mind runs free

Show me the edges of your life tonight
'Cause we've got nowhere left to go
Show me the freest kind of love tonight
All the world will never know

I don't care if the sun
Doesn't rise ever again
'Cause when I hold you in my arms
This night will never end

Show me your castles in the sky
We can climb there together
High above the troubles
That can bring us down
We can rise forever


3.Red Dawn

Lyricist:Peter Daou, Vanessa Dale Gibbs-daou

Now I'm traveling with the shadows
At the speed of light
Back along the arrow of time
Trembling at the rising of the red dawn

High over winding roads
And empty streets
And lonely houses filled with
Soldiers and debutantes

Lovers and losers
Teachers and hoarders
Players and cheaters
Healers and doubters
Heroes and hustlers

And in everything I see chaos
And in everything order
I can decipher
The waste and the shame

The giving the dying
And my place in the scheme
Is clear and pure
As the cold midnight


4.Two To Tango

Lyricist:Peter Daou, Vanessa Daou

Share your nights
And your dreams
Share your feelings
Deep as they may seem
Your words may disappear
If no one's there to hear

Two to tango
Two to move
And all we've got to do
Is see it through
As the day fades away

Two to tango
When the evening comes
And the rain goes
With the midnight sun
If you find your place
Leave behind the troubles that
You face

Two to tango
Two to move
And all we've got to do
Is see it through
As the day fades away

In a twist of fate
Time will rearrange
All your answers
Then the questions change
There beyond you or I can see
All that is and all that has to be

Two to tango
Two to move
And all we've got to do
Is see it through
As the day fades away


5.If I Could (What I Would Do)

Lyricist:Peter J. Daou, Vanessa D. Daou

If I could, I'd climb inside of you
I'd look out from your eyes
To see the world you do

If I could, I'd reach into your mind
I'd die a thousand times
Keep coming back to you

Now it's time for me to feel your pain
To understand your shame
To know you like I should, if I could

If I could, I'd dive into your dreams
And drown beneath your tears
Swim the deepest sea

If I could, I'd wrap my love around
Break your defenses down
To bring you near to me

Now it's time for me to feel your pain
To understand your shame
To know you like I should, if I could

If I could, what I would do for you
What I would do, if I could


6.Flower Of My Fears

Lyricist:Peter Daou, Vanessa Dale Gibbs-daou

My eyes open, eleven, eleven
The night's a shade of gray
Tinged with heaven in the hour
When all illusion falls away

The world disappears
Into the infinite void before me
I dive into the flower
Of all my fears

Unfurling a silver chord
Between myself and I
A thread from Earth to sky


7.Make You Love

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

It's four A.M, November ten
A strange electric hour
I'm swallowing
The morning of your flower

Petal by petal
I'm laying you bare
Red as any rose is
(Watch her as she opens)
(And she closes)

Let me turn your tears into wine
Let me turn your darkest hour into light
Let me turn your crow into a dove
Let me be the one to make you love

It's four A.M, November ten
A vague and hazy time
You lie asleep
You're breathing like a child

I'm writing with my poet's hand
To reach you with my pen
I know that
I can make you love again

Let me turn your tears into wine
Let me turn your darkest hour into light
Let me turn your crow into a dove
Let me be the one to make you love

In those words
I create you into someone
Who will always come back
Once you've closed the door

Into someone
Who will never refuse
When I ask for more

But if I think I can own you
With some lavender prose
Or a violet song, I am wrong

And if I think I can have you
With a salty kiss or a sultry dance
Well, I can't

Let me turn your tears into wine
Let me turn your darkest hour into light
Let me turn your crow into a dove
Let me be the one to make you love


8.Cherries In The Snow

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

I feel your heartbeat
In the pale moon glow
You see my lipstick's red
Like cherries in the snow

What's your intention?
Don't you think I know?
Your lips are glistening
Like cherries in the snow

The night is closing in
The leaves are turning gold
We lose our innocence
Like cherries in the snow

Pleasure turns to pain
Somebody's moanin' low
Someone's come of age
Like cherries in the snow

How far can we go?
How deep? How low?


9.Alive

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

I am the Universe
(I'm free as a bird)
A strange machine digging in the dirt
(But who does it hurt?)

Thunder rolls but no one listens
(They don't want to hear)
Dust will blow but red blood glistens
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive
But I'm cold inside

Now they reach beneath my skin
(Pleasure and sin)
Still I can't feel a thing
(They're drinking me in)

Now they put red lips on mine
(They're taking what's mine)
Red like blood red like wine
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive
But I'm cold inside

I'm the air that you breathe
I'm the salt of your sea
I'm a crow in the night
I'm the daughter of light


10.Bittersweet

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

I'm diving into you
Swimming in your eyes of baby blue
I never count the time
'Cause who knows where tomorrow goes?

Ooh, bittersweet
(When it's you and me)
Bittersweet
(Does it have to be?)
Love is bittersweet

Lay here by my side
Forget about the world a little while
'Cause we all need someone
So let's try to make it beautiful

Ooh, bittersweet
(When it's you and me)
Bittersweet
(Does it have to be?)
Love is bittersweet

Didn't we tell those secrets with our tongues?
Didn't we know this midnight hour would come?
Didn't we climb a mountain for this trust?
Didn't we share the diamonds and the rust?

Ooh, bittersweet
(When it's you and me)
Bittersweet
(Does it have to be?)
Love is bittersweet


11.Life On A Distant Star

Lyricist:Daou Peter J, Gibbs-daou Vanessa Dale

There's fire on the mountain
But it's just another sun
The Earth is next
To nothing on the horizon

Here the nights are crimson
The color of my heart
Closer to oblivion
Light years apart

I'm much too far
From where you are
Life on a distant star

Time is always leaving
Everyone behind
Distance can shrink a mountain
Though you couldn't climb

I'm much too far
From where you are
Life on a distant star

Do you care if I'm lonely?
I wonder if you care
You can't run from isolation
Even though you may be scared

I'm much too far
From where you are
Life on a distant star


12.Truth Remains

Lyricist:Peter Daou, Vanessa Dale Gibbs-daou

I vibrate at the depth of matter
I'm back where nothing matters
At the rough edge of reality
I became the ancient wanderer

A chair, a bed, a book, a wall
My laughing Buddha on the ledge
And Buddha laughing
And the proud sky glow
I heard the unsaid

Cut into the frame
And learned of my window
From it I saw the unseen
And I saw the unseen

The truth that's always obvious
The truth that's never obvious
When beauty lost to our lips
When beauty's lost to our lips

It surely will be missed
It surely will be missed
When love is lost and gone
When good and bad

There is no holding on
Dissolve into one
In the wilderness of my time
They're indecipherable

Man's rage for chaos
It fuels our rage for chaos
Blurs that simple vision
But if I separate

But if I root myself
The all from the one
In stillness and root myself
One by one

In compassion
The circles of confusion
There is no end
Fall away to freedom
And the truth remains
