City Of Love lyrics - Deacon Blue
Lost the will for keeping on
Just as the winter is dragging
What can I do with all of this?
Where can I put what I'm carrying?
All that remains is the city of love
All that remains is the city of love
The city of love
If you've got the will you've got to keep on going
No matter what the world is saying
No one can stop you, not until
You reach the end and lay down your burden
All that remains is the city of love
All that remains is the city of love
The city of love
Hold on
He said
She knows
It made sense
Don't go
Too far
You can't know
What matters
All that remains is the city of love
All that remains is the city of love
All that remains is the city of love
City of love
City of love
Hit Me Where It Hurts lyrics - Deacon Blue
You hit me where it hurts
You were what I least expected
Everything at once
How could I be ready?
You hit me where it hurts
Just when I was falling
Who'd have ever thought
One man had so much blood in him
I was gone
I was on my way
I was on my way out
Any place
Anywhere from here
I was on the run from love
Till you
Hit me where it hurts
Your kiss came crashing through
This night has made it worse
And now all my plans lie ruined
I was gone
I was on my way
I was on my way out
Any place
Anywhere from here
I was on the run from love
Till you
Hit me where it hurts
Hit me where it hurts
I was gone
I was on my way
I was on my way out
Any place
Anywhere from here
I was on the run from love
I was gone
I was on my way
I was on my way out
Any place
Anywhere from here
I was on the run from love
Till you
Hit me where it hurts
Hit me where it hurts
Hit me where it hurts
Weight Of The World lyrics - Deacon Blue
He'd been trying to tell a story called weight of the world
But he couldn't find out how the whole thing works
All he needed was a reason
Watched and waited but no reason came
Kept on working on the weight of the world
It started getting better until it got worse
So he said goodbye
I'm away now thanks and goodnight
Tonight, tonight we'll go diving
Tonight, tonight while we're alive
We'll try
I never figured on the weight of the world
Sometimes, sometimes I wanna go gliding
High enough not to care about sliding down
But never figured on the weight of the world
Started reading out the pages of the weight of the world
So he climbed and climbed to be sure he could be heard
When he opened up his heart
Words blew away on a wind so hard
Tonight, tonight we'll go diving
Tonight, tonight while we're alive
We'll try
I never figured on the weight of the world
Sometimes, sometimes I wanna go gliding
High enough not to care about sliding down
But never figured on the weight of the world
Tonight, tonight we'll go diving
Tonight, tonight while we're alive
We'll try
I never figured on the weight of the world
Sometimes, sometimes I wanna go gliding
High enough not to care about sliding down
But never figured on the weight of the world
But never figured on the weight of the world
But never figured on the weight of the world
Take Me lyrics - Deacon Blue
Of all the things left in this world
There's one thing I wish you'd heard from me
The cry from deep inside my heart
When you walked away
Standing all alone right now
Lost inside an empty house some nights
There's nothing here when love's locked out
And you're not around
Hey, hey, hey
What would you say
If I let you in
And I gave you just one day
If I told you what I could have done
And what I might have been
If I told you what my heart proclaimed
I dared to dream, dared to dream
If I told you about the constant doubt
And how I shut it down
If I told you everything just once
Will you take me now, take me now
Take me
To a place I've never been to
Take me
Down a road I wouldn't know
Take me
Unlock the doors and set me travelling
Take me
Take me with you if you go
When I let you walk away from me
I tried but I just couldn't see anything
What I had to do was easy
To make you believe
Hey, hey, hey
All I had to say
I'm the real thing
If you could only see
If I told you what I could have done
And what I might have been
If I told you what my heart proclaimed
I dared to dream, dared to dream
If I told you about the constant doubt
And how I shut it down
If I told you everything just once
Will you take me now, take me now
Take me
To a place I've never been to
Take me
Down a road I wouldn't know
Take me
Unlock the doors and set me travelling
Take me
Take me with you if you go
It's a long road back from here
It's a long road back
Take me
Take me
Take me
To a place I've never been to
Take me
Down a road I wouldn't know
Take me
Unlock the doors and set me travelling
Take me
Take me with you if you go
In Our Room lyrics - Deacon Blue
We spent the late night hours in our room
Waiting on a sunrise, turning up the volume
We talked, loved heard Van giving out in our room
We were so certain, we never doubted
We held all the world we knew
In our room, in our room
We found love to be true
In our room, in our room
Stains on the ceiling
Sleeping on a mattress
On the floor
There was a moon shining in our room
Kids playing outside
Singing and swinging
Shouting on the landing
There was no place to go but in our room
You lit the candles up in our room
Small gifts of light to lift the gloom
Woke up to the sun rise in our eyes
Love came alive, we'd so much time
There was nothing else to do
But be in our room, in our room
And everything we understood
Was in our room, in our room
Stains on the ceiling
Sleeping on a mattress
On the floor
There was a moon shining in our room
Kids playing outside
Singing and swinging
Shouting on the landing
There was no place to go but in our room
We spent the late night hours in our room
Waiting on a sunrise, turning up the volume
Intervals lyrics - Deacon Blue
Home, glorious light
Well it's Wednesday and I'm still waiting
You came into my heart
So early, so early
Walking through the dark
To where the light is, still burning
When you grow up to be a star
Don't leave home for anything less than you are
There's so little time
It's the spaces that I seek
Intervals of light
Where I can see you and you can see me
Will you walk back to this world
From wherever you might be
When you grow up to be a star
Don't leave home for anything less than you are
When you grow up to be a star
Don't leave home for anything less than you are
When you grow up to be a star
Don't leave home for anything less than you are
Keeping My Faith Alive lyrics - Deacon Blue
Everything is shaking
Don't know what to believe
I feel the ground shifting
Under my feet
There's an ill wind brewing
And it's scheduled to arrive
But I'm keeping my faith alive
I listen to my children
Look into their eyes
I listen to their stories
How they get wrong from right
While I listen to political junkies
And all that shuck and jive
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
Hey now everything will go
But I will go with what I know
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
People watching people struggling to survive
Sometimes I feel I'm running from the light
Everyone's gambling on a champion
Just to watch him take a dive
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
Hey now everything will go
But I will go with what I know
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
Don't know what to do right now
I just want to do right now
Hey now everything will go
I will go with what I know
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
I'm keeping my faith alive
A Walk In The Woods lyrics - Deacon Blue
Took a walk to the morning
To the morning at last we came
I don't know how you hold on
Holding on's like holding rain
We took a walk in the woods
Just to find ourselves alone
We took a walk in the woods
To try to find our way home
Our way home
The night is done, now comes the morning
Time to let go, time to change
I don't know how you hold on for ever
How you hold on to everything
We took a walk in the woods
Just to find ourselves alone
We took a walk in the woods
To try to find our way home
Our way home
We took a walk in the woods
Just to find ourselves alone
We took a walk in the woods
To try to find our way home
Our way home
Our way home
Our way home
Come On In lyrics - Deacon Blue
Walk that street every morning
Driving past in the afternoon
Standing outside looking in
Maybe too soon
Looking for a low close light
For some real homecoming
Maybe we could be all right
If we could just begin again
Oh, I know about tears
Cause I've cried some, they keep trying to come back again
Oh, all the things I loved here
Well I left them and I couldn't keep track of them
Oh, is it asking too much
To hear the one thing I was hoping you might say
Come on in
Come to life around midnight
Stepping out in the wee wee hours
Every dawn every sunrise
How I want to make it ours
Looking for a call or any sign
I got it wrong so many times
Won't you please take me back again
I'll be gentle so please be kind
Oh, I know about tears
Cause I've cried some they keep trying to come back again
Oh, all the things I loved here
Well I left them and I couldn't keep track of them
Oh, I keep thinking of you
When I tried to keep these thoughts from coming through
Oh, is it asking too much
To hear the one thing I was hoping you might say
Come on in
Oh, I know about tears
Cause I've cried some they keep trying to come back again
Oh, all the things I loved here
Well I left them and I couldn't keep track of them
Oh, I keep thinking of you
When I tried to keep these thoughts from coming through
Oh, is it asking too much
To hear the one thing I was hoping you might say
Come on in
Come on in
Come on in
Come on in
Wonderful lyrics - Deacon Blue
Walking the floor trying to find something to say
Waking up nights waiting for morning to break
Rumours abound you might be glad to be free
I can't imagine how bad it must be in my company
There was a time when I was too scared to be near you
Times when I tried something to prove I don't need you
But every road that I crawled only led me to you
And every time I set you free you only walked backed again
Look at us now there's a world full of wonderful
Heaven is waiting so don't be afraid of what's
Possible now in this world full of wonderful
If heaven's not there then the world can be beautiful
Yeah isn't it good
Yeah isn't it good
Yeah isn't it good
Yeah isn't it good
Yeah isn't it good
Yeah isn't it good
On Love lyrics - Deacon Blue
In the early years he spent a lot of time with his grandparents
They lived one floor up in a tenement in the Hawkhill
In the mornings they'd go up to see his grandfather in a small hut at the graveyard
Where he kept watch while nothing moved
On some days they'd stop above the railway yard and sit and just gaze at the trains
They'd walk slowly looking at where the railings had been taken down
And he heard they'd needed to melt them down for iron during the wars
He wondered why they didn't just rip them off and use them as spears to throw at each other
Then he'd watch the old man as he shaved and got ready to go out
Do I need to talk everything out
Only two songs away from your house
Love, never had a reason before
So what d'you wanna know?
If it never had a reason before
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
Just before the decade changed he took a long rail journey into England
It was early August and he went with his grandfather to join his family on holiday
The slow summer train wound its way south over the Tay and Forth valleys
As they got talking to a traveller about life in other parts
The traveller told them about playing football in Glasgow
And hurting his skin on the ashes and the red blase
As the carriage got warmer his head hurt and he stopped talking with his grandfather
He tried to cheer the boy up and after a while the boy felt bad about ignoring the old man
Do I need to talk everything out
I'm only two songs away from your house
Love, never had a reason before
So what d'you wanna know?
If it never had a reason before
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
In the early days she was someone who lived nearby
One day she caught his eye from across the hall as an orchestra was playing
None of the audience or the musicians could distract him from keeping looking
And outside in the square he kept trying to find her
Years later he received a letter from her daughter
She'd moved with her family to Australia and now they'd their lost their mother
She remembered a conversation she'd had with her as she lay dying that brought him to mind
So she wrote telling him about how her life had gone since that day at the concert hall
I never got to talk everything out
But I'm only two songs away from your house
Love, never had a reason before
So what d'you wanna know?
If it never had a reason before
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
Sometimes all memories seem to get lost.
It's like they're on fire and even trying to get back to them is pointless
It seems, now, looking back on it there were two kinds of people
Who you wanted to be and never were, and the good ones you ignored for too long then it was too late
One day an older boy came up to him and looked him up and down
Returning to his crowd they all laughed like crows as the older boy ridiculed the kid
He remembered that day the rest of his life
For all that time he kept on wanting to join the laughing crowd of crows
I never got to talk everything out
But I'm still two songs away from your house
Love, never had a reason before
So what d'you wanna know?
If it never had a reason before
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
When he first fell in love he was at a distance
He'd follow her miles behind on the road but close enough to see how her head moved
He liked the fact she seemed so content just walking by herself every morning
In all those days he never once caught up with her
Later on he told her all this as they sat up and watched the sunrise over The Meadows
One day he found out he wasn't the only one who walked there with her
It hurt like hell when she left him on one of those slow journeys
And somehow her feet just carried on and her head moved that way he'd seen a million times before
I never got to talk everything out
But I'm still two songs away from your house
Love, never had a reason before
OK, so what d'you wanna know?
If it never had a reason before
Love, never had a reason before
OK, so what d'you wanna know?
If it never had a reason before
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
What you trying to make sense for?
