VANDEN PLAS LYRICS

1. Intro

2. My Crying

Here's the grand illusion
Superstitious man
I can see how it all began
A pocket full of dreams
And a story backwards told
We dream it all in vain
Holding on, holding on
This is my final warning
Here is my news today

This is my crying
For these good old bad days
Kings and queens
And presidents
This is my world
This is my crying
For these good old bad days
Give her away, taking it down
To the poisoned water
This is my world
This is my world

Where's the grand solution
Unimortal world
Any fool can rule the land
When everything has changed
And the dog spelled
Backwards god
Infected till the end
Holding on, holding on
This is my final warning
Here's my news today

This is my crying
For these good old bad days
Kings and queens
And presidents
This is my world
This is my crying
For these good old bad days
Give her away, taking it down
To the poisoned water

3. Theme From "Pseudo Silk Kimono"

[Instrumental]

4. Kayleigh

[Marillion cover]

Do you remember, chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?
Do you remember, dawn escaped from moonwashed college halls?
Do you remember, the cherry blossom in the market square?
Do you remember, I thought it was confetti in our hair?

By the way didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart.
So sorry I never meant to break your heart.
But you broke mine.
Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry.
Kayleigh could we get it together again.
I can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end.
Kayleigh I never thought I'd miss you,
And Kayleigh I'd hoped that we'd always be friends.
We said our love would last forever,
So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember, barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember, loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember, dancing in stilettos in the snow?
Do you remember, you never understood I had to go?

By the way, didn't I break your heart ?
Please excuse me I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart,
But you broke mine.
Kayleigh, I just want to say I'm sorry,
But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone.
To find you've found another lover to patch up our broken home.
Kayleigh, I'm still trying to write that love song,
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone
Maybe it'll prove that we were right
Or it will prove that I was wrong

5. Father

Where is your kingdom
Lord can you show me
The place
Can you tell me
Where all the tears
Are falling down
Just give me a sign
One good reason
That I'm living for
One sign one easy sign
There's no chance to
Hide away

Father father
Is there a way for me
Father father
Is there a candle
In the night
To show me the way

Give me absolution
Lord all the things
That I've done
Why you tell me
That all my prayers
Are falling down
Just give me a sign
One good reason
That I'm living for
One sign one easy sign
There's no chance to
Hide away

Father father
Is there a way for me
Father father
Is there a candle
In the night
To show me the way

Where is your kingdom
And where is your light
Your hand of creation
Can heal me inside

6. Georgia On My Mind

[Ray Charles cover]

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just and old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just and old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Just and old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
On my mind...

7. How Many Tears

Brother can you see
That the time's just begun
Brother can you see
That the time's moving on
Brother can you
Follow the light
Into a better place
Brother can you see
That your life's a disgrace
What's going on in your head
Something's driving you mad

How many tears
How many days
How many roads
How many tears
How many days
How many roads
How many lives we spend

Sister can't you see
That your life's just begun
Sister can you see
That your life's moving on
And don't you see
There is another way
To another place
For you and me sister
What's going on in your head
Something's driving you mad

How many tears
How many days
How many roads
Away from you
How many tears
How many days
How many roads
How many lives we spend
Away from you

I tell you brother
I tell you sister
You are miles away
From the truth

8. Des Hauts, Des Bas

[Stephan Eicher cover]

La pluie venait du nord,
Le vent passait sous ma porte.
Je comptais vivre fort
Et que le diable m'emporte
J'allais à la fenêtre,
Enroule dans le drap
Je secouais la tête
Et j'en ecartais les bras

J'avais des hauts,
J'avais des bas,
J'avais plus ou moins chaud
(Et) toute la vie devant moi
J'avais des hauts,
J'avais des bas,
Je croyais que j'en voulais trop
J'ai même eu ce que je ne voulais pas

Je restais enferme,
Ou errais pendant des jours
Trop de chemins s'ouvraient,
Trop de questions en retour
Je n'avais pas tue mon père,
Mais je ne me souvenais pas
Ce qu'il me disait de faire,
Ce qu'il ne me disait pas

J'avais des hauts,
J'avais des bas,
J'avais plus ou moins chaud
(Et) toute la vie devant moi
J'avais des hauts,
J'avais des bas,
Je croyais que j'en voulais trop
J'ai même eu ce que je ne voulais pas

Chaque jour je me tenais prêt
Je guettais l'heure et la page
Où les eaux s'ouvriraient,
Me laisseraient un passage
L'espoir me faisait vivre
L'attente me rendait nerveux
Je trouvais dans les livres
De quoi patienter un peu

J'avais des hauts
J'avais des bas...

9. Spanish Rain

I recall the place, the way you moved
Your angel face
You came to rest your weary soul
Spend some time
Drink some wine
With me

Ah, me...

We defined romance, the way we danced
Your beauty stopped time
We spent a night in Spanish rain

I felt no pain
And your were mine

All mine

We lay down, and barely made a sound
The warm breeze spoke your name
The love we made never was
Again

Soon came the sun, the morning heat
Rivaled by none
You were gone
Without a trace
All alone inside my home
Without you

Ah, you...

I searched the land, never finding
That one girls hand
We spent a night in Spanish rain
Nothing more
I'll never be the same

10. Days Of Thunder

Oh yeah! 2,3,4

Goodbye, Goodbye,
You're running away
A sign in red, a notice couldn't stay
And some clouds are rollin' by
Its sayes

Couldn't cry the tear
The Raining in my eyes is 'cos
You're breakin' my heart
In these Days of Thunder
You're breakin' my heart ....
In these days of thunder
Your breaking my heart
Goodbye Good Love, too late to break
Medicine man has no chance to make us stay, for me
Oooooooh
And the is passing by
What happened to you to die
Breakin' my heart
In these Days of Thunder
You're breakin' my heart
Days of thunder
you're breakin' my heart
In these Days of Thunder
'cos you're You're breakin' my heart
You're breakin' my heart
In these Days of Thunder
Days of Thunder
You're breakin' my heart
You're breakin' my heart
In these Days of Thunder
You're breakin' my heart
You're breakin' my heart
Days of Thunder
In these Days of Thunder
You're breakin' my heart
You're breakin' my heart
In these Days of Thunder
You're breakin' my heart
