Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet.

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said,
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.
Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said,
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

Sullivan Street by the Counting Crows

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Cross the water and home through the town
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
Pretty soon I won't come around

I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly fallen to her knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care

I'm almost drowning in her seas
She's nearly crawling on her knees
She's down on her knees

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
I'm just another rider burned to the ground

I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees

Amelia by Joni Mitchell

I was driving across the burning desert
when I spotted six jet planes
leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
it was the strings of my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
The drone of flying engines
is a song so wild and blue
it scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru' to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
of picture-post-card-charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm.
People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
but till you get there yourself you never really know
where some have found their paradise
others just come to harm
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
A ghost of aviation
she was swallowed by the sky
or by the sea, like me she had a dream to fly
Like Icarus ascending
on beautiful foolish arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Maybe I've never really loved
I guess that is the truth
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
and looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
to shower off the dust
and I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747's
over geometric farms
dreams, Amelia, dreams and false alarms.

Universal Kiss by the Garden Verge

how I wish my days would conform to one consistent truth
and when I lifted my head off the pillow every morning
I would know just what to do
but my love, you know, you can't be sure
that I'm the one you're looking for
you may be right, but you've been wrong before

I was raised to believe I could do anything I wanted to do
so I've worked this hard to create the life I believe I am choosing
but mom, though you were brave back then
you left yourself and you lost him
you had it once, now you'll have to start again

again is something we don't touch
how can there be more than this?
let me feel your common touch, this universal kiss
the light that shines on us is the easiest to miss

and in the dark of the night I will reach for you, it's only desire
and in the morning I'll reach for the clouds
and I'll stand on my toes so that I can reach higher
and still I know I won't be sure that this is what I'm looking for
I may be right, but I've been wrong before

Elsewhere by Sarah McLachlan

I love the time and in between the calm inside me
in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in.
I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand.

I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near
I believe

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand.

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation.
Mother can't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand it.
I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to
would you try to understand....

Break Your Heart by the Barenaked Ladies

The bravest thing I've ever done was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time
The weakest thing I've ever done was to stay right by your side
Just like this time, and every time
I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone
So I lied and said that I missed you, when we were apart
I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on
But I didn't mean to break your heart

And if I always seem distracted
Like my mind is somewhere else
That's because it's true
Yes, it's true
It's this stupid pride that makes me feel like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should've just come out and told you right from the start
Why must I always tell you what I want is this?
I guess cause I wouldn't want to break your heart

You said, "What'd you think that I was gonna do?
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak, you know.
What'd you think that I was gonna do?
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
How could you be so low?
You arrogant man.
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine, just stop wasting my time."

And now I know you'll be okay,
And that I've got what I want,
And that's rid of you.
Good-bye.
And it's not cause I'll be missing you,
That makes me fall apart,
It's just that I didn't want to break,
No, I didn't mean to break,
I didn't mean to break your heart.

What She's Doing Now by Garth Brooks

Last time I saw her it was turning colder
But that was years ago.
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder,
But where she's now I don't know.
There's something 'bout this time of year
That spins my head around,
Takes me back, makes me wonder,
What's she doing now

'Cause what she's doing now
Is tearing me apart
Filling up my mind, and emptying my heart.
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows,
And I wonder if she knows
What she's doing now.

Just for laughs I dialed her old number,
But no one knew her name.
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered
If she'd ever done the same.
I took a walk in the evening wind
To clear my head somehow.
But tonight, I lie here thinking
What's she doing now.

'Cause what she's doing now
Is tearing me apart,
Filling up my mind, and emptying my heart.
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows,
And I wonder if she knows
What she's doing now.

Another Lonely Day by Ben Harper

Yes indeed I'm alone again
And here comes emptiness, crashing in
It's either love or hate
I can't find in between
'Cause I've been with witches
And I have been with a queen

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
And now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Wish there was something
I could say or do
I can resist anything
But temptation from you
But I'd rather walk alone
Than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself
Than let you drag me on down

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Yesterday seems like a life ago
Because the one I love
Today I hardly know
You I held so close in my heart oh dear
Grow further from me with
Every falling tear

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Court and Spark by Joni Mitchell

Love came to my door
With a sleeping roll
And a madman's soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark

He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made
In People's Park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark

It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes

"All the guilty people," he said
They've all seen the stain-
On their daily bread
On their christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
I'd complete you

His eyes were the color of the sand
And the sea
And the more he talked to me
The more he reached me
But I couldn't let go of L.A.
City of the fallen angels

May It Be by Enya, the song for Arwen and Aragorn

May it be
An evening star
Shines down
Upon you

May it be
When darkness falls
Your heart
Will be true

You walk along a road
Oh how far you are from home

Mornië utúlië [Quenya: 'Darkness has come']
Believe and you
Will find your way

Mornië alantië [Quenya: 'Darkness has fallen']
A promise lives
Within you now

May it be
The shadow's call
Will fly away

May it be
A journey on
To light the day

When the night is all gone
You may rise
To find the sun

Mornië utúlië [Quenya: 'Darkness has come']
Believe and you
Will find your way

Mornië alantië [Quenya: 'Darkness has fallen']
A promise lives
Within you now

A promise lives
Within you now...

Just Like Honey by the Jesus & Mary Chain

Listen to the girl, as she takes on half the world
Movin' up and so alive
In her honey-drippin beehive
Beehive, it's good, so good
It's so good, so good
Walkin' back to you is the hardest thing that
I could do
That I could do, for you
For you
I'll be your plastic toy, I'll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey (just like honey)
Just like honey (just like honey)

Too Young by Phoenix

Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street
I knew a time was gone, and it took me like ages
Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile, but deep inside my heart
I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling, ooh, yeah
Everybody's dancin, ooh, yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young

I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again
I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling, ooh, yeah
Everybody's shakin, ooh, yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young

Oh rainfalls and hard times coming, they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive
Can't you hear me calling, ooh, yeah
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear me calling, ooh, yeah
Everybody's dancin, ooh, yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
