Always Forever

Another song I heard again this afternoon after quite some time. Thanks Class95FM Singapore.

Feels like, I’m standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists, of pale amber rose
Feels like, I’m lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching, discovering you

Those days, of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless, summer night air
Secret moments, shared in the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words

I love you, always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everyday, I will devour you
I love you, always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everyday, I will devour you

You’ve got, the most unbelievable
blue eyes I’ve ever seen
You’ve got, me almost melt away
As we lay there, under a blue sky
with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness, a magical time

Say you’ll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything

Say you’ll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything

Say you’ll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything

(“Always Forever”, Donna Lewis)

Moon Over Bourbon Street – Sting

Minggu pagi, seperti biasa kurang kerjaan, ubek2 lagu lama … Pertama denger/liat lagu ini di video Bring on the Night, live performance-nya Sting di Paris dengan group-nya yang asli Jazz semua (Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, Darryl Jones, Omar Hakim) setelah mengeluarkan album The Dream of the Blue Turtles. Terkesan banget dengan visualisasi-nya yang mendokumentasikan kelahiran anak Sting di tengah2 jadwal tour-nya.

There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I’ve no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She’s innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

(Moon Over Bourbon Street, by Sting)

 

Bring On The Wonder

I can’t see the stars anymore living here
Lets go to the hills where the outlines are clear

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

I fell through the cracks at the end of our street
Lets go to the beach, get the sand through our feet

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls for too long

I dont have the time for a drink from the cup
Let’s rest for a while ’til our souls catch us up

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.

(Bring On the Wonder, by Susan Enan feat. Sarah McLachlan)

Lasso the Moon

Satu lagi tangkepan pagi ini, dari simpenan lama …

She carries the water from the well in the morning
While the sand burns her feet the sun only stares
And the loneliness lingers with slow grasping fingers
As the afternoon withers the flowers in her hair

Then night fills the sky as she sits on the hillside
And memories drift by like clouds past the stars
Recalling romances and all the bright chances
But none of them lasted. they passed through her heart

And she says …
Where is a man who can build a good fire
With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon
A man whose hand is as strong as his longing
Where is the man who can lasso the moon

She falls asleep and her dreams are her blanket
And she shares with the moon the secret she knows
As the dawn leaves it’s tears to wash the dry valley
The tears of a woman can wash a man’s soul

And she says …
Where is a man who can build a good fire
With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon
A man whose hand is as strong as his longing
Where is the man who can lasso the moon

And she says …
Where is a man who can build a good fire
With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon
A man whose hand is as strong as his longing
Where is the man who can lasso the moon

And I say -
I am a man who can build a good fire
And my passion’s as wide as the sky at high noon
Come take my hand, it’s as strong as your longing
Just say the word and I’ll lasso the moon

(Lasso the Moon, by Level 42)

Old and Wise

Pagi, bongkar2 file lama … nemu lagu ini.

for my loved one …

As far as my eyes can see
There are Shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to Know
You’ve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh when I’m old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I’d smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be Lifted from my eyes
Oh when I’m old and wise

As far as my Eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You’ve always Shared my darkest hours
I’ll miss you when I go

And oh, when I’m old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that You were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I’m Old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

(Old and Wise, The Alan Parsons Project)
