    Drowning Man.....U2

    Take my hand
    You know I'll be there
    If you can
    I'll cross the sky for your love
    For I have promised
    Oh, to be with you tonight
    And for the time that will come
    Take my hand
    You know I'll be there
    If you can
    I'll cross the sky for your love
    And I understand
    These winds and tides
    This change of times
    Won't drag you away
    Hold on, and hold on tightly
    Hold on, and don't let go
    Of my love

    The storms will pass...the storm will pass...
    It won't be long now...it won't be long now...
    His love will last
    His love will last...forever

    Take my hand
    You know I'll be there
    If you can
    I'll cross the sky for your love
    Give you what I hold dear

    Hold on, hold on tightly
    Hold on, hold on tightly
    Rise up, rise up
    With wings like eagles
    You run, you run
    You run and not grow weary

    ...Take my hand, take my hand...
    Hold on, and hold on tightly
    Hold on, hold on tightly
    To this love...last forever
    To this love...last forever

    Take my hand


    PS; One of my favorite love songs ever!


    Peace

    On the edge
    Windowsill
    Ponders his maker
    Ponders his will
    To the street below
    He just ain't nothin'
    But he's got a great view...
    And he sinks the needle Deep
    Can't touch the bottom
    In too deep
    Can't touch the bottom oh

    On the edge
    Of a know-nothin' town
    Feelin' quite superior
    The aged come
    To the sky above
    He just ain't nothin'
    But he's got a great view...
    And he sinks the burning knife Deep
    Can't touch the bottom
    In too deep
    Can't touch the bottom
    In too deep

    On the edge of a
    Christmas clean love
    Young virgin from heaven
    Visiting...yeah
    To the man above her
    She just ain't nothin'...
    She doesn't like the view
    She doesn't like the view
    She doesn't like the view...
    But he sinks himself deep.
    Can't touch the bottom
    In too deep
    Can't touch the bottom
    Can't touch the bottom
    Deep...yeah

    Can't touch the bottom
    The bottom

    Wish you were here...

    These lyrics have special meaning for me. I hope my ex wife has heard this song.

    REM - Make It All Ok

    You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you?
    You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you?

    So you worked out your excuses,
    turned away and shut the door.
    The world's too vast for us now,
    and you wanted to explore

    It's a long, long long road
    And I don't know which way to go
    If you offered me your hand again I'd have to walk away.

    When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you?
    You said we could start over, try and make it all okay.
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you?

    So our past has been rewritten
    and you threw away the pen.
    You'd said that I was useless,
    but now you'll take me in again

    Well Jesus loves me fine.
    And your words fall flat this time.

    Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
    "We don't have a prayer between us."

    Didn't you believe that I have finally turned away?
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you?
    Anything to hold onto to help me through my day.
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you?

    Jesus loves me fine.
    But his words fall flat this time.

    It's a long, long long road
    And I don't know which way to go
    If you offered me your world, did you think I'd really stay?
    If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away.
    Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
    "We don't have a prayer between us."
    Didn't you, now? Didn't you, now?
    Didn't you?

    Everybody Hurts ~ R.E.M.

    When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
    When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
    Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

    Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
    When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
    If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
    When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

    'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
    Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
    If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

    If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
    When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

    Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
    Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
    And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
    Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
    Everybody hurts. You are not alone

    Wish you were here...

    She scratches a letter
    Into a wall made of stone
    Maybe someday
    Another child
    Won't feel as alone as she does

    It's been two years
    And counting
    Since they put her in this place
    She's been diagnosed
    By some stupid fuck
    And mommy agrees
    Why go home?
    Why go home?
    Why go home...

    She seems to be stronger
    But what they want her to be is weak
    She could play pretend
    She could join the game
    She could be another clone

    Why go home?

    What you taught me
    Put me here
    Don't come visit
    Mommy dear

    Wish you were here...

    When a man loves a woman
    Can't keep his mind on nothing else
    He'll trade the world
    For the good thing he's found
    If she's bad he can't see it
    She can do no wrong
    Turn his back on his best friend
    If he put her down

    When a man loves a woman
    Spend his very last dime
    Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
    He'd give up all his comfort
    Sleep out in the rain
    If she said that's the way it ought to be

    Well, this man loves a woman
    I gave you everything I had
    Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
    Baby, please don't treat me bad

    When a man loves a woman
    Down deep in his soul
    She can bring him such misery
    If she plays him for a fool
    He's the last one to know
    Lovin' eyes can't ever see

    When a man loves a woman
    He can do no wrong
    He can never own some other girl
    Yes when a man loves a woman
    I know exactly how he feels
    'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

    When a man loves a woman.....Percy Sledge

    saw it at Hershey in '03, effing awesomeness super concentrated!


    what a great day for your warm smile
    it's a shameful tragic lie
    some kind of happiness is all we need to make ourselves worthwhile
    what a great day for your love
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    Baby don't understand why we can't just hold on
    to each other's hands
    This time might be the last if fear unless
    I make it all too clear

    I need you so.

    Take these broken wings
    And learn to fly again
    learn to live so free.
    And when we hear the voices sing

    The book of love will open up and let us in.

    Take these broken wings -
    Baby, I think tonight we can take
    what was wrong and make it right.
    Baby, it's all I know
    that you're half of the flesh @c
    And blood that makes me whole
    need you so.
    So take these broken wings . . .

    Let us in - let us in -
    Baby, it's all I know

    That you're half of the flesh
    And blood that makes me whole

    Yeah
    yeah
    yeah

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Longing for shelter from all that we see
    Why should we worry, no one will care girl
    Look at the stars so far away
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don' you stay?

    Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
    All of my hopes, fading away
    I've longed for love, like everyone else does
    I know I'll keep searching, even after today
    So there it is girl, I've said it all now
    And here we are babe, what do you say?
    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?

    I know it's late, I know you're weary
    I know your plans don't include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Both of us lonely

    We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    Let's make it ast, let's find a way
    Turn out the light, come take my hand now
    We've got tonight babe
    Why don't you stay?
    Why don't you stay?

    If you've got love in your sights
    Watch out, love bites

    When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
    Who do you think of?
    Does he look like me?
    Do you tell lies?
    And say that it's forever?
    Do you think twice, or just touch and see?
    Ooh babe
    Oh yeah
    When you're alone, do you let go?
    Are you wild and willin', or is it just for show?
    Ooh C'mon

    I don't wanna touch you too much baby
    'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
    I know you think that love is the way you make it
    So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
    No!

    Chorus
    (Love bites, love bleeds)
    It's bringin' me to my knees
    (Love lives, love dies)
    It's no surprise
    (Love begs, love pleads)
    It's what I need

    When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
    Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
    When you wake up, will you walk out?
    It can't be love if you throw it about
    Ooh babe

    I don't wanna touch you too much baby
    'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
    Oh

    Chorus
    (Love bites, love bleeds)
    It's bringin' me to my knees
    (Love lives, love dies)
    It's no surprise
    (Love begs, love pleads)
    It's what I need

    Spare a little candle
    Save some light for me
    Figures up ahead
    Moving in the trees
    White skin in linen
    Perfume on my wrist
    And the full moon that hangs over
    These dreams in the mist

    Darkness on the edge
    Shadows where I stand
    I search for the time
    On a watch with no hands
    I want to see you clearly
    Come closer than this
    But all I remember
    Are the dreams in the mist

    These dreams go on when I close my eyes
    Every second of the night I live another life
    These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
    Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

    Is it cloak 'n' dagger
    Could it be spring or fall
    I walk without a cut
    Through a stained glass wall
    Weaker in my eyesight
    The candle in my grip
    And words that have no form
    Are falling from my lips

    There's something out there
    I can't resist
    I need to hide away from the pain
    There's something out there
    I can't resist

    The sweetest song is silence
    That I've ever heard
    Funny how your feet
    In dreams never touch the earth
    In a wood full of princes
    Freedom is a kiss
    But the prince hides his face
    From dreams in the mist

    Wish you were here...

    bridges are burning but faces are looking away
    people are yearning for someone to show them the way
    tables keep turning and time is the price that well pay
    fast cars and freedom as long as you learn to obey
    fear is the virus they use to divide us
    hoping well all just pretend
    that theres no other way
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Love Ain't No Stranger

    Who knows where the cold wind blows,
    I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
    Who am I to believe in love,
    Oh, love aint no stranger

    I looked around an what did I see
    Broken hearted people staring at me,
    All searching cos they still believe,
    Oh, love aint no stranger

    I was alone an I needed love
    So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
    I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
    Id feel the emptiness of love I know so well

    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger to love, no, no, no

    Cant hold the passion of a soul in need,
    I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
    I know good loving an Im a friend of pain,
    But, when I read between the lines its all the same

    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger to love

    So who knows where the cold wind blows,
    I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
    Who am I to believe in love,
    Lord, have mercy,
    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger

    I was alone an I needed love
    So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
    Cant hold the passion of a soul in need,
    I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

    Love aint no stranger,
    I aint no stranger
    Love aint no stranger,
