Dream Of You Album Lyrics

[Jamie]

Some of you may have bought the download copy of the album and might like the lyrics to it. If you want to vote above and maybe those of us who have the physical copy of the album can take a song each and post up the lyrics here for you?

[Jamie]

Cool, maybe those of us who have the album could post the lyrics to a song each? I'm in work now so don't have mine with me but when i'm home I'll type something up.

Could we start in order of the tracklisting maybe?

[OCTAVIO]

please!!!

[txogxo]

I finally have the physical cd, but I think it'd be a nice thing to share the amazing lyrics of DOY with those who don't have them (even though they got Jenny's Chiken, while we didn't =P)

1 Our Wedding Day
Instrumental

2 Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime
Change your heart, look around you
Change your heart, it will astound you
I need your loving like the sunshine

Everybody's got to learn sometime
Everybody's got to learn sometime

3 It's Not a Dream
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel
I feel when you call my name
The stars they shine for me
Wanting all you'll ever need, needing all you'll ever want
My love I give to you

And at times I know it's hard to stay together
But when I'm in your arms, there's nowhere I feel better

Cos baby it's not a dream, it's reality
You are my soul, you're my sanity
I can't explain but I know it's forever
And if you feel the same way
Just let me hear you say you feel it too

Take me in your arms again
Love me like the world will end
The way you used to do
Good times, they will come and go
Hard times we will surely know
But out love will pull us through

And if at times you feel you're sailing stormy weather
Put your hand in mine, we'll face this world together

Cos baby it's not a dream, it's reality
You are my soul, you're my sanity
I can't explain but I know it's forever
And if you feel the same way
Just let me hear you say you feel it too

4 Mná Na h'Éireann
Instrumental

5 Buenos Aires
When you left me by the river, I watched the boats go by
When I saw you turn and walk away, I tried hard not to cry
Now I won't let it go
Cos I need you to know

That I wanted you like you wanted me
And now we'll never know
And for a moment then we were nearly there
I let it go

I wanted you to break away
Just to leave it all behind
But you didn't know how to be that brave
To follow your own mind
Now I won't let it go
Cos I need you to know

That I wanted you like you wanted me
And now we'll never know
And for a moment then we were nearly there
I let it go

And if I had to do it all again
Then I would surely go
And had you changed my mind
On that fateful day
I'd be yours

Take me to Buenos Aires
Take me to Buenos Aires

That I wanted you like you wanted me
And now we'll never know
And for a moment then we were nearly there
I let it go

6 So Long Ago
I heard you cry out in your sleep
But I just turned and walked away
Cos I've no warmth left in my body
I have nothing left to give

Cos there's no questions, no answers
That could bring you any hope
And the only way out is through it
But I don't even want to try

Now it's so long ago
But it's so long forever
And it's so long ago
And I'm still wishing you were here once more

My arms lie limp* by my side
Cos I have nothing left to hold
And if I could I'd make it better
Bring back yesterday, I would

But there's no questions, no answers
That could you bring me any hope
And my only way out is through it
But I don't even want to try

Now it's so long ago
But it's so long forever
And it's so long ago
And I'm still wishing you were here once more

The sun is shining I don't see you
The moon is rising I still need you
The tide is turning but there's nothing I can do

Cos it's so long ago
But it's so long forever
And it's so long ago
And I'm still wishing you were here once more

7 Smalltown Boy
Leave in the morning, with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
No the love that you need will never be found at home

Run away, turn away...

Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
You were the one that they talked about around town, as they put you down
And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul

Run away, turn away...

Leave in the morning, with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
No you never cried to them, just to your soul

Run away, turn away...

8 Cooley's Reel
Instrumental

9 Butterflies
I am waiting, I am waiting for so long now
I am hoping, I am wanting, I am dreaming

Like a bird without wings, in my heart I'm born to fly
Like a ship upon a river, I could sail the oceans wide

The stage is ready, the lights are burning
I have butterflies
The crowd is humming, the band is buzzing
I have butterflies

I am feeling, I am touching, I am tasting
I am seeing, come to me so I can be it

Like a bird without wings, in my heart I'm born to fly
Like a ship upon a river, I could sail the oceans wide

The stage is ready, the lights are burning
I have butterflies
The crowd is humming, the band is buzzing
I have butterflies

10 Dream of You
Sitting on a cloud, but I'm waiting to fall
Buried in the sand, yet I'm ready to crawl

Oh what can it be, between you and me?

Cos I dream of you, and I long for you
All I want is you, oh tell me what to do

Staring at blue sky, but I'm waiting for rain
Floating on a wave, yet I'm ready to drown

Oh what can it be, between you and me?

Cos I dream of you, and I long for you
All I want is you, oh tell me what to do

11 Real World
I told you last night there's something wrong
That somewhere inside has changed
And I won't get it back again
You said don't worry it's ok
It won't stick you'll be alright
It's just the dat that got caught in the night

But is this the real world?
Is this the way it's meant to be?
I'm caught without anchor, adrift I'm at sea
Is this forever?
Is this the way I'm gonna feel?
Where did the sun go
Why does my heart bleed?

You told me the right I'll get better
And somehow I know it's true
But it's your hope that will pull me through
You said just to wait give it time
And one day you'll look around
And see the sun has come out from the cloud

But is this the real world?
Is this the way it's meant to be?
I'm caught without anchor, adrift I'm at sea
Is this forever?
Is this the way I'm gonna feel?
Where did the sun go
Why does my heart bleed?

12 Love Me Better
If you want to love me better, then you'll have to start again
And if you want me to believe you, then you'll try try again
Cos you can't bring me to water and expect me not to drink
You can't blow out the candle and expect me not to blink

You took me to the mountain top, but I've seen all I want to see
You took me to paradise, but I feel you're lost to me
You took me to hell and back, but it's just not cool with me

If you want me to forgive you then you'll never do it again
And I'll tell you when you're worth it, but you won't mean nothing till then

You took me to the mountain top, but I've seen all I want to see
You took me to paradise, but I feel you're lost to me
You took me to hell and back, but it's just not cool with me

13 Jenny's Chickens
