Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
Say, my mind
Should I go with her on silent nights
She’ll drive me crazy in the end
And I should leave this paradise
But I can’t leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That’s what I’m living for

Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
Say my thought
Should I find out she don’t care at all
She’ll leave me crying in the end
Wandering through the afterglow
But I can’t leave her
While I need her more than she needs you
That’s what I’m praying for

Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter
Love is higher than a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter

Silent night, a lonely night
I didn’t mean to wake you up
I was leaving anyway

We never asked each other why
We only made each other cry

When the day becomes the night
And all that I have left inside
Is scattered on the wind

Didn’t I give you all that love could bring
Didn’t I give you more than everything
You know it hurts to end like this
When we’ve come so far

Don’t tell me love is blind
‘Cause I know what I see
Tell me how you walk away when all you’ve known is me

And all we might have been
And what we left behind
Don’t ever let a living person tell you love is blind

The memories of summer days
Laughing like a school child
And lying in your arms

And we would own the stars like days of old
We would make a vow to have and hold

Now we see the empty stage
The act is gone, the empty page
The tears between the lines

Save me from the wild imaginings
Try to stop my heart remembering
Acting like there’s someone else
When there’s only me

So tell me what to say
Tell me what to do
Tell me how to walk away when all I see is you
Shadows on the wall
Pictures in your mind
No never let a living person tell you love is blind

I don’t want your silver castle
And your money like a king
I don’t want your lovely woman
She don’t even mean a thing

For I won’t live for love or money
Make me a slave to none
I won’t live for love or money
Give me them as they come
Give me them as they come

All your money will only hurt you
Will only make you blue
Your lovely woman will love and leave you
Will break your heart in two

Cos I won’t live for love or money
Make me a slave to none
I won’t live for love or money
Give me them as they come
Give me them as they come

Once I had me love and money
I was standing so high
I lost my love and I lost my money
A lonely man am I

Now I won’t live for love or money
Make me a slave to none
I won’t live for love or money
Give me them as they come
Give me them as they come

Now I won’t live for love or money
Make me a slave to none
I won’t live for love or money
Give me them as they come
Give me them as they come

 I was lost in your love.
I was held by your heart.
And no secrets
stood between us anymore.
 
I’m like a child learning pain.
I was held by your chains.
And, my darling,
I was lost in your love.
 
There’s been a difference of opinion
to the way I’ve been treating you
But you know that I’ve tried to apologize
for all the bad times I’ve put you through.
 
On the chance that I could make you mine,
there’s not a thing I would not do.
And wrong or right I’ll be with you
and lost in your love.
 
I was lost (I was lost) in your love (in your love).

And no secrets

I’m like a child (like a child) learning pain (learning pain).

And, my darling,
I was lost in your love,
 
Now I will follow you
where the wild bird flies,
through the endless skies I will go.
 
So I can be so near you, girl
And all of this you gotta know.
That when I get you
here inside my arms,
I never ever ever will let you go.
And wrong or right
I’ll be with you
and lost in your love.
 
I was lost  (I was lost) in your love (in your love).

And, darling,
I was lost in your love.
 
Lost in your love.
Yeah.
And you make love feel so good.

Every flicker of anticipation
in a vision that will mystify.
And you don’t even whisper my name.

I’m a victim of infatuation.
Major loving in the first degree.
It’s hard to control
the devil in me.

Will the spell be unbroken?
Just enough to do or die.
Heaven on earth I surrender.
Send him to me.
I won’t ever stop.

Every sight, every sound
I stumble
lost in the crowd.
Every word, every move,
I wake up
lost in the crowd.
So long, it’s wrong,
it’s not enough.
It’s such a crime to torture me.
So hard to understand the man
and read between the lines.

Any trick of the imagination.
Every power in the universe.
And I’m so afraid of games you play.

When your love is like a precious flower
any heart can steal your sanity
into the flames and the danger is so sweet.

Will the wheel spin in motion?
Just enough to do or die.
Heaven on earth I surrender.
Send him to me.
I won’t ever stop.

Every sight, every sound
I stumble
lost in the crowd.
Every word, every move,
I wake up
lost in the crowd.
So long, it’s wrong,
it’s not enough.
It’s such a crime to torture me.
So hard to understand the man
and read between the lines.

Transcript by Luis Alberto Gonzales


I saw the fire.
I heard them say:
They would go on dancing there

‘til the breaking of the day.
Losers and lovers
Looking for the reason to be glad.


Down inside the forest,
Stumbled on a crow,
Caravans with purple wheels and the people shouting low.

Losers and lovers
Forgetting that the world is going mad.


But it was over,
Laid myself to rest
Underneath the warm September sky.

They’re reminiscing
When all the Earth’s revolving,
The losers and the lovers passing by.

Pull down the branches
To make myself a bed
If it should rain, then I’d be dry.

I’ve got my visions
So let them all ignore me,
The losers and the lovers passing by.

[Robin]
My mind, it was heavy.
My feelings, they were dim.
I began to doubt in me, and where all have they been?
There are no more caravans,
And I am here alone with aging ghosts.

But it was over,
Laid myself to rest
Underneath the warm September sky.
They’re reminiscing
When all the Earth’s revolving,
The losers and the lovers passing by.
Ah…ah…ah…

Ah….

And when you sleep.
London streets are silent.
All the world is full of song.
And when you have woken,
after dawn has broken.
Snow filled fens will vaguely fill your eyes.
You’ll be guided by good will.
Now the bells in your town are ringing.
Far away the joy of carols singing.
Bringing all a song to share.
Lord bless all.
Lord let all be blessed
And when you sleep.
London streets are silent.

Loose talk costs lives.
People like to play.
We’re basically the same.
We never lie.
Loose talk costs lives.

Don’t look at me as if you don’t remember me at all.
There was laughter, there was pain.
But I won’t make the same mistakes I made.
You are too beautiful to me.
I hide my tears inside the rain.

Am I the soul you cast your spell upon?
I had control and now it’s gone.
Or are you someone who controls my heart and mind?
And I will never say a word.
And I will never say goodbye.

Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).

We’re basically the same.
We never lie.
Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).

I can see that someone hung a sign around your heart.
And it reads “do not return”.
And there is so much trouble I could cause.
Someone as beautiful as you.
You can feel my candle burn.

And I still recall some starry night.
We had it all, we held on tight.
I promised I would come to you and catch you if you fall.
And they will never know about us.
For just one moment you were mine.

Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).

Baby, you told me your life is wrong
and there’s no sense in seeing it through
But I’ve got my eyes open all the time
And I’ve been waiting for you

Don’t try to tell me it’s over
You can’t believe it yourself
Just put your hand on my shoulder
And dry all your tears, take your heart off the shelf
‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
You still got your heart and it’s well worth the giving
Give yourself to me
Just you and me

I’m just a guy from outside your world
And there’s no words that I can say
But I’ve got a feeling that you’re the girl
to take all my love and just run away

Don’t try to tell me it’s over
You can’t believe it yourself
Just put your hand on my shoulder
And dry all your tears, take your heart off the shelf
‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
You still got your heart and it’s well worth the giving
Give yourself to me
Just you and me

Don’t try to tell me it’s over
You can’t believe it yourself
Just put your hand on my shoulder
And dry all your tears, take your heart off the shelf
‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
You still got your heart and it’s well worth the giving
Give yourself to me
Just you and me

‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
A long life and well worth the living
It’s a long life

Now the summer’s gone,
And the winter’s coming on,
And I wait for you,
But I know that you have gone away from me,
And I know, yes I know
It’s gonna be a lonely winter.

Just to walk alone,
And leave all the love we’ve known.
Autumn leaves will fall.
Wish winter would only call you back to me.
And I know, yes I know
It’s gonna be a lonely winter.

It, I know, could be a very long time.
I can’t make your love mine,
Mine and mine alone.
But I know that I can’t make you love me,
I can’t make you want me,
Till the winter’s gone.

Leaves begin to fall,
And the trees begin to bare.
Then I wait for you,
But I know that you’re not here.
You’ve gone away.
And I know, yes I know
It’s gonna be a lonely winter.

    I call him

    Sweeter than candy on a stick,

    Huckleberry, chimry or lime.

    If you had a choice,

    he’d be your pick,

    but lollipop is mine

    Lollipop, lollipop,

    oh lolli lolli lolli,

    lollipop lollipop…

    Crazy way he thrills me.

    Tell you why.

    Just like a lightning from the sky.

You been teaching me a lesson that I never learnt.
You never make it through a lifetime without being burnt.
Everything I ever thought you were you turned out to be
since you gave your love to me.

When I met you on a Monday
my life has stood still.
I belong to every moment that your love can fill.
Let me be the only heart you mend,
turn out the light and take it right to the end.

Living with you,
in the madness of my mind,
in a world I could not find,
but you knew what to do.
Living with you,
there’s a full moon on the rise,
there’s a fire in your eyes
and I was born to be…

Loving you under my skin.
You’re everything to me.
I could not love you more.
And you know that you are mine.
And that’s what I’m living for.

There will never be a question of somebody new.
I could make it through a lifetime with someone like you.
Let me be the only heart you mend,
turn out the light and take it right to the end.

Living with you,
in the madness of my mind,

there’s a fire in your eyes

If you’re happy and marching forward in your band,
holding hands together, I will understand.
In my life I’m together on my own,
with my own private eggshell, and my phone.
 
If your mind is in the darkness, could you know?
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow,
will you show me someone who may treat me kind?
Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind?
 
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone.
 
If you’re happy living down on the ground,
where the crippled and the blind alone can see.
I got a feeling God is still around.
And if I’m right, there must be more than this to see.
If your mind is in the darkness, could you know?
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow,
will you show me someone who may treat me kind?
Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind?
And as soon as you discover where you’re going,
can I walk along the way, along the way?
I’m lonesome and I need somebody knowing
just a few nice words to get me through the day.
If your mind is in the darkness, could you know? (could you know)
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow,
and will you show me someone who may treat me kind?
Or is this world just a frame of mind?
 
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone.
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone.

Would you believe me if I told you your tomorrow is my yesterday?
But be alive.
I know that we will,
the world keeps on moving but I’m holding still.
 
In the beginning, I was far away and praying for my destiny,
that would arrive,
the moment you’re born,
for we will be here when the miracle comes.
 
Living eyes,
when under the sun don’t cry,
no war in my mind,
the state of my heart.
Living eyes,
when out in the rain will fall,
the day I deny the face of my love.
 
We are of age, we are in time,
we are forever,
right now when the power is mine.
I leave you heaven and the earth,
I leave you never,
and living to love is the reason we shine.
 
Well, I been over, I’ve been under,
I don’t own a dream to analyse,
but living eyes,
you know that I do
believe in the soul and the magic of you.
 
Living eyes,

Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, don’t analyze the tears you cry.
 
Only the strong survive the silent sacrifice,
and I, I will be your heart of steel but power has a price.
Ain’t it time that you believe in someone,
ain’t it wrong to let the years go by
standing face to face forever live or die.
 
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do,
what you hold in your hand is a miracle
and it’s dead if I don’t have you.
 
Hold me like a child, and swear you never let me go.
You’re the eye of the storm, the reason I laugh or cry,
live or die, I will stay with you.
 
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
No bad blood, no pain can make you draw the knife.
 
Ah, We got a world of trouble but I will never change,
and even if we fall tomorrow, we will rise again.
Now is the time we show each other, these are the words I kept inside
standing face to face forever live of die.
 
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do.
What you hold in your hand is a miracle
and it’s dead if I don’t have you.
 
Hold me like a child and swear you never let me go.
You’re the eye of the storm, the reason I laugh or cry,

live or die, I will stay with you.
 
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
 
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do.

Well, I got a little girl and she shakes all over town  
You know nothing can beat her when she shakes all over town
No one can do it any better than we
Cos when we get out on the floor, you see
You got nothing to lose
Little Miss Rhythm and Blues

Dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
You got nothing to lose
Little Miss Rhythm and Blues

Put on your high heel sneakers
Everybody is waiting for you now
You always find yourself an audience
There’s nothing you can’t do
I got your loving
Everything’s all right
We gonna dance right through the night
You got nothing to lose
Little Miss Rhythm and Blues

Dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
You got nothing to lose
Little Miss Rhythm and Blues

Dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
You got nothing to lose
Little Miss Rhythm and Blues
