Deacon Blue Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hey now everything will go

But I will go with what I know

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

Hey now everything will go

But I will go with what I know

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

All Of This Or Nothing At All lyrics - Deacon Blue

Walking hard walking slow taking up that time until you go

Climbing up that track deep into the dark

Everything we've ever said

All the days we've ever spent

So much joy we've missed from lack of innocence

Like the wild flowers of wintertime

All the leaves the wind has stolen

Colours that we long forgotten things we should of known

Yeah all of this or nothing at all

Oh all of this or nothing at all

Take them letters leave the pain

Let loose the losses take all the gains

That's not possible in our world

Sometimes I wish it could be so

Everything you've ever said

All the days we've ever spent

So much joy we missed through lack of innocence

Like the wild flowers of wintertime

All the leaves the wind has stolen

Colours that we've long forgotten things we should of known

Yeah all of this or nothing at all

Oh all of this or nothing at all

Everything we've ever said

All the days we've ever spent

So much joy we missed from lack of innocence

Like the wildflowers of wintertime

All the leaves the wind has stolen

Colours that we've long forgotten

Things we should of known

Yes all of this or nothing at all

God Gives You Dreams lyrics - Deacon Blue

I found a train just need a ticket

Destination I need to pick it

I'd have a job if I committed

Or I did some work but I didn't

I know that feeling from a distance

Sunshine's there but there's something missing

Got some directions but I wasn't listening

My friends all said it's not my business

I got in trouble for gazing out the window

And staring out those far away scenes

I kept wondering what all this lying means

If there's something pulling and you just can't let go

No matter how hard it seems

Just remember god gave you dreams

Got no plan I've got no mission

I can take this life I'm living

I keep asking and I keep thinking

This worlds for wandering this worlds for living

I got in trouble for gazing out the window

And staring out those far away scenes

I kept wondering what all this lying means

If there's something pulling and you just can't let go

No matter how hard it seems

Just remember god gives you dreams

I got tired of waiting on tomorrow

To see what everybody else is seeing

No one seems to know which way the wind will be

If there's something pulling and you just can't let go

No matter how hard it seems

Just remember god gives you dreams

Gives you dreams

Haunted lyrics - Deacon Blue

I want you to know

That I love you still

I want you to know

That I'd miss you girl

I want you to know

Even though you're outside my world

But I can't let you go

Do you forget

How I remember

Everything that we did

Haunted

You leave me haunted

Haunted

By your love

In the dead of the night

I can't know where you are

I still have your scent

On my coat, in my car

Is that just the wind

Or your voice in the dark

And I still hear you go

Do you shiver

Do you know

It's not winter

Are you cold

Haunted

You leave me haunted

Haunted

By your love

Haunted

You leave me haunted

Haunted

By your love

You can't take me back in your arms anymore

I can't go back to your arms anymore

I want you

Haunted

You leave me haunted

Haunted

By your love

Haunted

You leave me haunted

Haunted

By your love

Haunted

You leave me haunted

Haunted

By your love

Haunted

Haunted...

Just Come Home Now lyrics - Deacon Blue

I opened your letter imagining your life your place and the weather there

You see its pretty but you're missing something

Cause its summer there its creeping cold here

So I wrote you straight back and I put in it to you

If you're worried about anything please don't think on it

Just come home now don't worry about anything

Come home now bring yourself in

Just come home now don't worry about anything

Come home now bring yourself in

Don't worry about the journey the distance the words before you went

There's nothing left now it's Christmas and all the money's spent

Just come home now just come home

Your dad put up the tree and I've been out shopping on Queens street

We watched meet me in saint Louis and I thought of you

I hear your friends are meeting on Hogmanay outside the central station

One last drink then home to bring the bells in

If there's one thing I know it's how I miss you tonight

So do this one thing for me now and be on that flight

Just come home now don't worry about anything

Come home now bring yourself in

Just come home now don't worry about anything

Come home now bring yourself in

Don't worry about the journey the distance the words before you went

There's nothing left now it's Christmas and all the money's spent

Just come home now just come home

There's no room for fear anymore

We can only do what we do best

You get me right through anything

I'd let the snow swept streets do the rest

Just come home now don't worry about anything

Come home now bring yourself in

Don't worry about the journey the distance the words before you went

There's nothing left now it's Christmas and all the money's spent

Just come home now just come home

Just Fine lyrics - Deacon Blue

Staring from the pavement at some poor dog in the road

Wishing for his eyes to open

And a women's watching TV trying to recognise a face

Of a man she hoped she'd never see again

There's no other exit there's no better way

Your gonna do the hardest thing you've ever done

This man's lost his memory this women's lost her sons

They've both been waiting for a long time

Someday this'll pass and mostly be forgotten

You'll get along just fine

There's no getting round it there's no turning back

And call the righteous and the wretched and wronged

The Hindus and the Hutus the masters and the slaves

The hangman and the criminal the cowards and the brave

They'll get along just fine

More People More lyrics - Deacon Blue

Ohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

And people mean so much more

Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people

People mean so much more

The sun the snow the mountain tops

The wind that crosses fields and stops

These buildings halfway to the sky

A flame that bursts alive then dies

The endless motions of the sea

The months that follow tirelessly and the moon

Ohhh and people ohhh and people ohhh and people ohhh and people

Yeah people mean so much more

No myths remains on painted walls

Unmapped places only unrecalled

The half-remembered childhood kiss

Some sweet forgotten melodies

I'll sigh as swallows dive and soar

For colours that exist no more and wait

Ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh

Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people Ohhh and people

And people mean so much more

Peace Will Com lyrics - Deacon Blue

Peace will come

Just as surely as the

Night is done

And as certain the

Arrival of the sun

All we know is that

Peace will come

Just in time to save

Everyone

If they're old or

If they're young

All we know is that

Peace will come

All we know is that

Peace will come

Like an injured dog that

Keeps on running

He's still limping but he's

Coming home

All we know is that

Peace will come

All we know is that

Peace will come

Sing it up

Sing it up again

Sing it up

Sing it up again

Sing it up

Sing it up again

Peace will come

Scent And Cigarettes lyrics - Deacon Blue

What did I do

What did I say

That you took everything I had to give

Then went away

Cos I've been alone

But not like this before

Oh no

All you left me with is scent and cigarettes

Now everything else I own means so much less

I'd phone I'd call I'd write

If I knew your address

Now all I have is your perfume and the memory of your sweet tenderness

Was as easy to slip away as to break my heart

Why did you smile and laugh and kiss

And pull our love apart

Was there nothing that you missed did you know I'd not get over this

All you left me with is scent and cigarettes

Now everything I own means so much less

I'd phone I'd call I'd write if I knew your address

Yes yes yes

But all I have is your perfume and the memory of your sweet tenderness

Scent and cigarettes

The One About Loneliness lyrics - Deacon Blue

About the ones who never call

About the call you never make

About the makes you always spoke of

No that's just a joke

About the tape you never sent

About the scent you never wore

About the war you never fought

And how I got caught

This is the one about loneliness

Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?

And we'll listen and think

And hold our lovers and drinks in our hands

About the records they all played

About the plays they never watched

About the watches they all wore

How I never saw

About the breaking of the heart

About the heart that made the stars

About the stars they chased and chased

Where I still go

This is the one about loneliness

Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?

And we'll listen and think

And hold our lovers and drinks in our hands

I love the one about loneliness

Can I take it home and play it back to all my friends?

And we'll listen and think

And hold our lovers and drinks

Don't you know what only time brings

Cause we're getting old

What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love And Understanding lyrics - Deacon Blue

(originally by Brinsley Schwarz)

As I walk through

This wicked world

Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity

I ask myself

Is all hope lost?

Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside

There's one thing I wanna know:

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Oh...

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

And as I walked on

Through troubled times

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes

So where are the strong

And who are the trusted?

And where is the harmony?

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Oh...

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

So where are the strong?

And who are the trusted?

And where is the harmony?

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Oh...

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

Understanding, brother

Understanding, sister

Understanding, people

When You Were A Boy You Were A Beautiful Boy lyrics - Deacon Blue

I want to love you

But everything is gonna to have to change

This cell's taught me

That everything can be chained

You read my letters

See all my cares

You see time passing

I see me and you will say

When you were a boy (you were a boy)

You were beautiful

When you were a boy (you were a boy)

You were beautiful

When you were a boy

I never thought you would be looking for such a girl

I'm going to love you

But things are going to be so strange

You'd better get ready

To make up your mind for your own way

I know December

But you say May

You'll say tomorrow

Nearly every day... and then you say

The Believers lyrics - Deacon Blue

Go on ahead
I'll be with you soon enough
Go plant a garden
I'll be walking in the cool of the evening
In honeysuckle and willow trees

Tell them your story
Tell them what you dreamed about
Say you were lost
Then one day you were found
Someone brought you home again

The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers

Who was this child?
What was her journey?
Who were her people
What did she dream of?
How come we know nothing
When we say we know so much
About everything?

Step on a boat
Go on a journey
May it take you to heaven
And never bring you back again
So you no longer fear the boatman
Or the swell of the ocean

The Believers
Know that it's going to get better
You better
Believe it
Cause no one here will ever forget you
Not let you
We're believers
Believers

You wake up one morning
There's nothing you can do about it now
You know you're on one side or the other
You're just one more believer

This Is A Love Song lyrics - Deacon Blue

Morning comes
To the sound of bells
Lying beside me saying
You gotta be somewhere else
There was a time
Everything got lost
Everyone and everything we once loved
Was in the past

Cross the room and you're looking at me
You touch the handle and you're looking at me
Walking out that door still looking at me
There's something there's something
There's something you gotta know...

Morning comes
I like awake
I'm looking at you
I only know today you're going away
Look at your clothes
Scattered on the floor
Is nothing gonna change
Is nothing gonna change any more?

I get so worried when you don't appear
I get so worried when you come too near
I'm standing in your way
But you're still looking at me
There's something there's something
There's something you gotta know...

Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love song
This is a love song
Love song
This is a love song

You gotta walk a long way
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
To come back again
You gotta walk a long way
Walk a long way
Walk a long way
To come back again

Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love is enough
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
Love song
This is a love song
Love song
Love will do
Love lasts longer than
Anything you're going through
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song
This is a love song

I Will And I Won't lyrics - Deacon Blue

Every time I think of that night
I still smile
I made you laugh and you were kind enough
To make me feel good for a while
At last when you fell in my arms
I knew you were glad
It was so good to learn how things
Take a turn to happy from sad

Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't

Every time I think of that night I still smile
If I laughed and showed kindness
It's cause you made me feel good for a while
In your arms this girl's chances
Didn't seem so bad
Though I didn't get you
I could not forget
To remember the night we had

Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't

Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
I do and I don't
Will I tell you all the things if my heart says so?
Will I show you everything I want you to know?
Well, I will and I won't
Do I love you
I do and I don't

Meteors lyrics - Deacon Blue

Had a friend in Fowlis
We'd stay up all night and talk it out
We'd never worry about things
We shouldn't worry about

Like the cold dark river
Currents running so deep you can't see
How far down we'd be
Before they pulled us out

Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get

This world is beautiful
It's full of beautiful things
Tall trees and meadows and birds that sing

Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get

There's a hole in the middle
We've gotta work out how we're gonna fill it in

Oh, the toughest test
Is not the way we came into the world
Or the way it ends
Yes, our toughest test
Is what lies between and what we do
With the time we get

Gone lyrics - Deacon Blue

Were you there at the beginning, pacing the roads, walking the streets
Or in the shadows of the summer, close by, but never seen

Were you the figure in the window, seen from some speeding train
Or accidentally in a photograph, of a half forgotten scene

Did I see you from the car, round the corner out of reach?
Were you a swimmer or just a rock, glanced in a moment from the beach

If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone
You're gone

Everybody's lost, not just the ones you know
We are reluctant travelers, all trying to get home
Did I see you from the platform, slowly pulling out again,
Did I pass you on the road, almost forgotten by everyone

If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone,
But you're gone,
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone

If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again

If I never see you one more time, I know you're in all my dreams
It would be everything, just to see you back again
But you're gone,
You're gone
You're gone
You're gone

What I Left Out lyrics - Deacon Blue

Is this the common cup?
Every one drinks once
Or am I the odd one out?
Laughing at danger and saying...
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right

I want to sing and I want to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out

I told her everything
Knew every word was true
I wanna be just and kind
God knows I tried and failed
So many times trying to do it right
So many times but I won't be denied

I want to sing and I want to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out

Sometimes the light's too cruel
You put the truth behind you
Hoping it can't find you

Waiting to sing, waiting to shout
She keeps making me what I'm all about
I've been given the benefit of the doubt
She's got me wondering what I left out
She's got me wondering what I left out

A Boy lyrics - Deacon Blue

I first met you on the road
Everyone was rushing past
And you were going slow
You seemed to make me all I should be
Having watched it all on the movies and on tv
I met somebody else
Who spun me around and around
And that made all the difference to me

We were young once
Don't pretend it didn't happen to you
We thought we had it all to come
So what's a boy supposed to do?

We got into your old car
Drove about as fast as it would go and just as far
Till, before we even knew we came
Up to the end of the road
Long before we meant to
I found somebody else
Who spun me around the town
And that made all the difference to me

We were young once
Don't pretend it didn't happen to you
We thought we had it all to come
So what's a boy supposed to do?

Birds lyrics - Deacon Blue

We were the sailors in the summer
In the winter we climbed the hills
We were swimmers for a season
Even out to sea you'd see us

We left footsteps on the beaches
Trails of sand back to the road
There's nothing left there to teach us
Only the knowledge of your going

Were we folks you recognised
When we came into your view?
Did you notice who we were
Or were we strange shapes in truth?

Maybe it was how the light fell
Maybe just the time of day
Perhaps a storm had just passed over
Or perhaps we were never there
The land will surely come

One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds

We were sailors in the summer
In the winter we stayed in
No one heard us break the water
Or saw our shapes on the horizon

We were strangers on the coast
Outsiders to the land
No one thought to ask us questions
No one thought to understand

We were prisoners to the city
We had nowhere else to go
All our dreams like fallen leaves
On some unremembered road
Sometimes no land would come

One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds

We're high above jail walls and windows
We're high above the waves of worry
We're floating on the wind
Cause nothing can begin
To make us want to land again

One day
One day
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds

You Can't Know Everything lyrics - Deacon Blue

I wish I was a painter now
I'd paint all of this somehow
Words just don't come quick enough
To catch that weak winter light
Leaking in from above

The rain's gone off for a while
Probably coming back in style
Short glimpses of near perfection
Thanks, but I'll walk and keep my coat on

You can't know everything
You're such an innocent soul
You can't learn anything
Unless you let somebody show you
And you'll not know everything
Even if you started right now
You must trust someone
Cause someday darling trust's all you know

Here comes those sirens again
Or is it just my dreams that they're in?
Racing towards and ending
When everything seems to be beginning

You can't know everything
You're such an innocent soul
You can't learn anything
Unless you let somebody show you
And you'll not know everything
Even if you started right now
You must trust someone
Cause someday darling trust's all you know

Delivery Man lyrics - Deacon Blue

I give you everything I can
But I don't get anything back from you
There's something in the way you sing
The words but somehow it lacks the bitter truth
I'm here singing you're there watching
But I've been in these songs too long
I know you love them more than I ever could
But that's cause you never stood where I stood
In amongst the heartache
Down around the sorrow saying I love you
Saying it right out loud..
Singing there or being here...
Two different things we need to realise but I.
I''m the delivery man
Taking round things I don't own
To folks who can afford them
Cause I can't
I'm just the delivery man

I can't tell you what to think or do
I'm just a singer of songs
In the middle of it all, when it all comes down
I can't tell right from wrong
In amongst the heartache
Down around the sorrow
Saying I love you, saying it right out loud...
Singing there or being here
Two different things we need to realise but I...

I'm the delivery man
Taking round things I don't own
To folks who can afford them
Cause I can't I'm just the delivery man
I'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man

I'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man

l'm going round the town
Can't take it back
Can only give it out
Cause I know what I'm not and what I am
I'm just the delivery man

Come Awake lyrics - Deacon Blue

When the daylight comes
And come it will
I'll get all my things
And creep down the hall
I'll light that ring
For my first cigarette
Walking out to the morning
Pulling on your jacket

I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake

That persistent sun
Will warm my face
Lighten my steps
Till hours later
I'll come back
Throw my coat on the floor
We'll talk tomorrow
When tonight is over

I can no longer watch
I can no longer wait
I can no longer hope
I have come awake

"A New House" (2014)

Bethlehem Begins lyrics - Deacon Blue

Tell me once tell me twice how is it that we begin again
Do we start off by clearing up the mess or just forgetting
The way some people try to kid you'd think
We're better off pretending
Just how far can we go without working out the ending
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...

So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again

Sometimes it feels like
The weals of winter won't disappear
So we throw out a rope and hope it gets
To the middle of the year
When we can't tell the land from the sky from the cloud
And nothing's clear I guess a miracle's the only thing
That's ever going to work here
We stayed awake one starry night
Just to watch the sky turn and change and aim...

So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again

To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again

Every step I take will lead me back
Along the broken road

So suddenly there's no day, no night,
No earth and no horizon
Everything that's wrong's now right
No moon or no sun rising
I can't tell my left from right
There's nothing to keep my eyes on
You got to go back, gotta go back, gotta go back in time
To Bethlehem
To begin again
To Bethlehem
To begin again

For John Muir lyrics - Deacon Blue

What am I?
Stronger than you
That you don't think like I do
These days
More than in youth
I keep thinking about you

All of me feared the wild things in you
The truth is that I never forgot you

Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander

When you sail
Over the sea
Do you dream of the new world
Can you see
Clear mountain burns
The deer in the north woods

All of me feared the dark depths of the ocean
There's no coming back there is only going

Farewell to the high hills of snow
The green glens
The rivers
Farewell to the people I know
All gathered
And moving
Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander

Farewell to the high hills of snow
The green glens
The rivers
Farewell to the people I know
All gathered
And moving

Long live the wilderness way
The high cloud
The long days
Long live perpetual light
Remember
Wherever
You wander

A New House lyrics - Deacon Blue

All those places where the wild things grew
All the fields he used to run through
Summer stretches out for seven weeks in June
Was there more light, more time than he ever knew?

Now he runs as fast as he can go
And he's hidden almost everywhere that he knows
Chased by the terror from the boys on the street below
He remembers a time of sunlight
And weeds through windows

Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass
The night skies were only black interrupted by stars
They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts
A new job, a new hope, a new start
In a new house
I'm going to take you there some time

Sometimes he's walking home alone out on the street
Memories come flooding back about
What they used to do what things used to be
Could he go back to unscrambling his dream?
Could everything in his world go from grey to green?

So I'd take you back to paradise if I only could
I want to walk you to the lane to the river
Through the woods
I want to show you how it was and what we used to do
With a new job, a new hope, a new view
In a new house
That's where we're going to go

I'm crying all the way to it now

Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass
The night skies were only black interrupted by stars
They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts
A new job, a new hope, a new start, a new way
A new place, a new view, a new road, a new time
A new walk, a new climb, on a new day
In a new house

In a new house
I'm going to take you there
To a new house
That's where we're gonna go
To a new house
Come on back, come on back
To a new house
To a new house

An Ocean lyrics - Deacon Blue

Sometimes I'll open my eyes
And remember sight, remember breathing
I want to wake up nights
Mesmorized by you
Lying here in the cradle of fear
Remembering love remembering feeling
Is there something else I hear?
Unrecognised by you

Do you remember back then?
And can you still touch it again?
Do your dreams come quick do they never end?
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?

I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight

I want to love and never look back
But I can't thats just a simple fact
How come it's so easy for some
To kiss and forget
What's next?
I want to raise my hand
To wherever that singer laid his hat
Cause I'm never gonna be that kind of man
No matter how hard I think I am

I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight

I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out

I want a love the stretches out
Stretching out to the horizon, an ocean
Or wider still I hope
And you realise
There's nothing wider than an ocean
Rolling out beyond sight

The Living lyrics - Deacon Blue

Oh Kate the weather's good
The summer's come
What could you do here?
Should we pursue everything?
Insist on joy?
Hound out the humdrum?

Oh Kate we're the lucky ones
The first of them
That burst into that sea
We're not running scared
Locked up
Or frightened for what will be
Ooh wah wah
Wah wah ooh

Can we be the precious
The jewels
The longed for?
Are we the forgiven
The bright stars of the morning, the living?

So Kate we never did
The things we said
The promises we made
Oh Kate can we burn out
Fade away gloriously instead?
Ooh wah wah
Wah wah ooh

Can we be the precious
The jewels
The longed for?
Are we the forgiven
The bright stars of the morning, the shining?
So are we everything
We believed in
To the finish
From the beginning?
The Living?
The Living?
The living the living the living the living the living

I Wish I Was A Girl Like You lyrics - Deacon Blue

You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
There was a time we could have come back
Got over what it was we lacked
Do what everybody else does
Made a deal, not made a fuss
All the things we wish we could have done
But we haven't done yet
On the tribulation of regret

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
So differently we might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away

There was a time you were the May queen
When all around our world was mantled green
We fell for the beauty of love
Or so now that's how it seems
Where every lad and every lass went
We only followed the romance
Despite never quite knowing
We made up our own dance
All the time we seemed to have then
We're only envious of now
We'd like to go back but we don't know how

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away

You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything

Win lyrics - Deacon Blue

Can't we just go out?
See a film do something with the night?
Lark about
Morning comes to early every day
The good bits always seem to slip away

Even though you think it's the last thing
That's ever gonna happen
There's one thing you should know

It's OK to want it
Believe it, maybe now we need it
We can win
It's OK to dream it
Feel it, maybe even steal it
We can win
Can't we go the distance?
We can win

Riding on the bus
Side by side as all the lights go up
It's taking us
Out of the darkness girl you wont believe
Just look back this one last time with me

Even though you think we're running
There's no way we're returning
So you should know

It's OK to want it
Believe it, maybe now we need it
We can win
It's OK to dream it
Feel it, maybe even steal it
We can win
Can't we go the distance?
We can win

When tomorrow comes, we're out of here
Pack some things, gonna be our year
Don't tell a soul I told you so
But I bet on us from the first time I saw you...
I knew we were going to
Win

It's OK to want it
Believe it, maybe now we need it
We can win
It's OK to dream it
Feel it, maybe even steal it
We can win
Can't we go the distance?
We can win

Can we go the distance?
We can win
Forget the worlds against us?
We can win
We can win

Wild lyrics - Deacon Blue

When I come home
We'll go out
We'll breathe in our dream again
And sing out loud
We'll dare that rain
Or fires or flood
To wash us all away
But nothing could
And we won't stop every believing
This world would allow us to leave
And no one can stand in our way
We know that the happiest places are

Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild

Do you remember
When we were young?
All the days we had ahead of us
We never saw coming
The hours we lost
Just for love
Won't stop ever believing
We could be blood
And we won't stop every believing
This world would allow us to leave
And no one can stand in our way
We know that the happiest places are

Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild
Wild
Where it's wild

March lyrics - Deacon Blue

This miracle of spring is all that matters now
Hard light warm earth buried deep below
There's a scent and a sense that winter's over
One last hard fight won before we go

We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May

Nothing in this long life delights like spring
Nothing's as strong
And nothing will match the joy it brings
Bloom throughout the streets for your survival
Bloom to show the world you're alive

We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
From March to May
The thrust the trust
The march to May
The will to work to pay the pain the hurt
The march to Mayday

I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want

We want, we want, we want
To feel the sun, the warm, the light
From March to May
From March to May
I want the rush the push of every shoot
The thrust the trust
The march to May
The march to May

Our New Land lyrics - Deacon Blue

And so here comes the dream
I seem to have each night
We are racing up that hill
In case we lose the light
Even then, nothings certain
We think we cannot make it
Unill we're just about to break

Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land

From here the land is still
There's nothing going on
Then twinkling out of darkness
All the lights come on
And even then, we'll never know
If they're there for celebration
Or just to show us the way home

Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
So many times I've doubted it
Prepared myself for disappointment
Wondering if it really still exists
Our new land

Oh yes all revolutions seem to be impossible
Until the moment just before it happens
It happens
It happens
It happens

Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land
So many times I've doubted it
Prepared myself for disappointment
Wondering if it really still exists
Our new land

Scrambling up towards the top
Climbing till we're just about to drop
Two hundred steps from here's the final spot
We'll see our new land

I Remember Every Single Kiss lyrics - Deacon Blue

Forgotten all the names, forgotten all the girls
Forgotten all the chords, forgotten all the words
Forgotten all the barbs, forgotten why they hurt
Forgotten all the guilt, forgotten why it mattered

Summer
Beaches
Sunlight
I remember every single
Corner
Side street
Cold spell
I remember every single kiss

Forgotten all the verbs, forgotten all the rhymes
Forgotten every crook, forgotten every crime
Forgotten very town, forgotten every sign
Forgotten every hack, forgotten every headline

Winter
Frozen
The road home
I remember every single
Pavement
You took me
Touched me
I remember every single kiss

Shadows
Walkway
The old bridge
I remember every single
Garden
In springtime
The bird song
I remember every single kiss

"The Hipsters" (2012)

Here I Am In London Town lyrics - Deacon Blue

Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in

Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in

I’m amazed at you now
You don’t see the world turn like I do
I’m amazed at you now
I can feel the weight of the whole world
You see it much more clearly than I can ever did

Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in

I can picture you now
But there’s still so much I can’t remember
And so much to forget
But it’s forgetting that makes it easy
That’s how we survive

Here I am in London town
Waiting for the world to begin
Waiting for the world to begin again
Let me in

The Hipsters lyrics - Deacon Blue

All, all those waves
And that old sun
Shining

So drive
Drive to the coast
And let the water
Surround you

I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining

Friends, who needs friends?
When there’s a road
And an ocean

I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining

When I let the dream
Die slowly down
Did I do it right
Or was I wrong?

I was standing by the shore
Pulled by the deepest blue
Aching for the allure
Of the hipster boys
And the hipster girls
Shining, falling
Glistening, diving...

Stars lyrics - Deacon Blue

You won’t believe the dirt, the rain the wind the snow
The endless roads I seemed to travel down
Trying to get to you

And when I’m finally there, I find you in a hole
I realize we don’t know what to do
Nothing seems to change

This cruel world seems full of such unhappiness
If our lives collide we may get out of this

Every day is like, the next one comes along
It seems the same as all the other ones
Will it ever change?

People can be easily destroyed I guess
We’re only just a word away from happiness

We can catch a rocket ship and fly away
Through meteors and moons and galaxies
To the avenue
Of stars
Stars

Surges of light
Breaking the dark
Street lamps in summer rain storms
Shining across this universe
Shining across this universe

This cruel world seems full of such unhappiness
If our lives collide then we’ll get out of this

We’ll soar into the never ending universe
Nothing else but gravity will limit us
We will ride our rocket ship and fly away
Through meteors and moons and galaxies
To the avenue
Of stars
Stars

We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
We'll go, we'll go, we'll go, we'll go

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow

Turn lyrics - Deacon Blue

Here I am thinking we’re alright
Candle burned, half asleep
Starts to deepen
Then I remember how you looked at him last night
Too soft, too long
Why don’t you keep him?

You walk and I’ll run
You talk and I’ll fight
You cry and I’ll shout
You’re cold but I’m on fire

And I could turn like an animal that knows you’ve got a gun
Pointing at her heart only this time you’ll better try hard when you run
Cause I could turn like a wild fire that catches on the wind
Only this time, to be certain, just in case you’re wondering
I can turn

You know me, I hate getting angry
Cause when there’s love, that’s enough
I like forgetting
So why do you do it? You just let yourself down
Because you’re weak, because you could,
Cause you let him?

You walk and I’ll run
You talk and I’ll fight
You cry I’ll shout
You’re cold but I’m on fire

And I could turn like an animal
Now I’m down, don’t corner me
Don’t make me turn

Only this time, just in case you’re wondering
I could turn like an animal that knows you’ve got a gun
Pointing at her heart only this time you’ll better try hard when you run
Cause I could turn like a wild fire that catches on the wind
Only this time, to be certain, just in case you’re wondering
I can turn

The Rest lyrics - Deacon Blue

I don’t know what I’m doing
Damn sure I’m no longer looking
Maybe I’m made motionless by truth
Up all night watching it raining
Up all night hesitating
Guess that there’s the rest
And then there is you
There’s no easier thing to say
The world is out there but it gets in the way

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you

I don’t know where I’m going
Know full well I can’t start caring
Nothing seems to matter more than now
This night sky’s full of warning
But I’m going on through till morning
Need to stop and think but don’t know how
There’s hundreds of things to do
But I just want to spend my hours with you

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know how to say it through
I only know that in this life
There’s the rest
And there is you

The Outsiders lyrics - Deacon Blue

What to wear?
How to go?
Do we take the train?
Or take your car?
Are you innocent
Of everything?
Didn’t know you
And yet, you showed me

We took the road, any road, every road out of here
Forgot the past, cut the strands, made a path, took a stand
Chased the day, raced the night, grabbed our chance didn’t look
Back to where we’d come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders

But I didn’t want
Anything
I could only give
Everything
I lost my heart
Every time
Are we too old
To be innocent?

We took the road, any road, every road out of here
Forgot the past, cut the strands, made a path, took a stand
Chased the day, raced the night, grabbed our chance didn’t look
Back to where we’d come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders

Are we so old
Don’t care any more?
Where we had to come from
So we kept right on running
And this world seemed so much lighter
When we were the outsiders

That's What We Can Do lyrics - Deacon Blue

In your room last night when you were out
Saw your ticket stubs, unread books, your photographs
Saw your rings and the things that you forgot about
Looked around at the mess I’d sooner you’d not left,
I sat down on the floor and I realised
I’m here, you’re gone, I’m lost and I finally know why

We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do

Looking out from your bedroom window to the dark
Thought about the times we used to fight, you used to cry
Couldn’t see where you’d gone or if you’re coming back
Wondered if you’d had the same thoughts, same time
Staring hard out that window I could see my eyes
I’m here, you’re gone, I’m lost and I finally know why

We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do
We trust, we change, we move from one place to another
Cause that’s what we can do
We talk, forgive we give - everything that love allows
Cause that’s what we can do

She'll Understand lyrics - Deacon Blue

She is going away again
Back to the place where she came from
A big, black plane just crossed the sky
Casting a shadow where we used to lie

Everything she once said’s ringing
But I’m past the point of trying to think

And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand

She is starting to drift away
Have I forgotten the things she said
She left the clothes she never wore
And I can’t stand them any more

Every time the door blows open
I think you’re back, by I’m just hoping

And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand

Something about this
It just doesn’t feel right
There’s a way out
That I don’t know

And I can’t help wanting to go out
And drink, fight and take on the whole world
I know it doesn’t make sense to you, how
Can it make things better for me, but I just know
She’ll understand
She’ll understand

Laura From Memory lyrics - Deacon Blue

Laura you can’t write back now
And you can’t stop my time running out
You can’t laugh and you can’t sing
And you can’t share the things I think

But the wall, the clouds the misty light
The pylons reaching to the sky
The bridge, the ramp the ferry road
Everything I can’t let go
Your face your smile your words your breath
The cheap mementos I’ve got left
The look of fear ‘don’t leave me now’
Don’t leave me now

I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough

Laura give me one last night
Before you take that long, dark drive
One last time all on our own
Just us, a room and words. Alone.

And the world, the seas the beach the sound
The towns that nearly brought you down
The dread of night, the fear of dawn
The certainty this life’s gone wrong
The sleeps, the pills, the tears the rage
The years of hope, the missing days
Let them all just slip away
Slip away now

I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough

We wait, we hope, we pray
For the night to go away

I was lured by the pull of the words
Abandoned then cut by the broken chords
What we do, we do for love
Memories are dust and that’s never enough

It Will End In Tears lyrics - Deacon Blue

So now I understand
The differences I’ve seen
Between the grown man
And the boy he’s been
It’s a simple plan:
You make it through the day
Till night comes again
To let those dreams escape~
Of falling down and drowning
Of flying over buildings
Of rescue and reunion
For the ones you love

You know the truth
All laughter dies
And even you
Knows this world will end
People change
And people go
And most times we know
It will end in tears

There’s a constant pull
To keep us spinning round
See the stars appear
And the seasons come
This old world goes on
And people get things done
One man sets a clock
For how high the tide will come
To mark out every ending
And welcome each beginning
Of rescue and reunion
For the ones you love

You know the truth
All laughter dies
And even you
Knows this world will end
People change
And people go
And most times we know
It will end in tears

Is There No Way Back To You lyrics - Deacon Blue

The will to love goes on and on
From the dawn of time till the lights are gone
So how do you carry the sorrow?
How do you know when to let go?

Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels

You said I lost your heart back then
But it was not mine to break or bend
So how do you carry the sorrow?
How do you know when to let go

Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love

Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
How do you carry this sorrow?
How do you know when to let go?

Is there no way back to you
Is there no way back to you
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
Tell me baby tell me how it feels
To lose this love
This love

"Homesick" (2001)

Rae lyrics - Deacon Blue

I can't go with you
And I can't let you go
You can't be with me
So I won't let it show
I don't want you to know
So I'll just have to let you go

I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good I wished I'd given you
Oh how I miss you Rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away

So don't cry honey
You can't see everything
But the wind still dries your tears
And the sun will keep you living
I just want you to see
My love's unseen but still keeps seeking

I'm going to love you so much better
You'll forget the error of my ways
I'm sending you the good I wished I'd given you
Oh how I miss you Rae
Some day you might well laugh at this
As memories of love all shift and time slips away

Oh Rae
Oh Rae

Out There lyrics - Deacon Blue

I got something and I know it's true
Cause I know you're out there
We all want somebody like you
Cause we all know that you're out there

Animal boys and earthen girls
Are meeting out there
All the friends made in the world
Are waiting out there

I got lost and it all went black
But I saw the light and I got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there

Under the stars when it's late at night
I know you're out there
Something knocking and it can't be right
Means we need you're out there
In the city there's a million prayers
Going to someone out there
I found love and it was burning bright
Cause I saw it out there

Beautiful stories you've never heard
Trust me baby you can lean on the wind
We only love the way we do
Cause there's someone out there

Robert Johnson, Harmonica Frank
Digging it out there
Jimmy Rogers on the last train back
Sounds better out there

I got lost and it all went black
But I saw the light and I got you back
We only love the way we do
Cause there's something out there

This Train Will Take You Anywhere lyrics - Deacon Blue

Down by the beach road
Crawling through the undergrowth
Stand by the railing
And look along
Put your ear to the ground
Listen for a while
Till all the tracks start
Humming and buzzing
Then the roar comes
And it's louder than the drums
Cause it's tons and tons and tons
Of steel going faster

Now maybe I'm on the bridge
And near the very edge
And I'm waiting for the train
To pass under
It's got fifteen carriages
Each one saying what it is
This is bigger than anything
That'll ever go past you
It drowns out what you say
And it blows the dust away
And it makes it's own way
We can't stop it

This train will take you anywhere
This train will take you anywhere
You want to go

I'm on the border
Berlin to Warsaw
I can't tell the things I saw
You'd see them anyway
It's the same where you go
Hanol to Bangalore
From Belize to Bogato
You can ride on
Get on at the platform
Keep your eyes on the land
And see the colours all change
And the world all open

This train will take you anywhere
And you can see anything
You can sleep or you can imagine
This train will take you anywhere
You want to go

Every Time You Sleep lyrics - Deacon Blue

I go to work
And I get in early
Lying to myself I need to be there
I pass the church
And all the hurly burly
Of all the people as they walk without a care
How I'd love to tell them of how I get so happy
Maybe now's not the time
But when's it going to be right?

I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep

You walk to work
And I walk out with you
Lying to the people that we're together
You cross the street
To catch the waterloo train
And I slink back to walk the quiet way back home
How I'd love to sing about what gets me happy
Maybe now's the time
Maybe it's alright?

I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep

I want to get on the telephone
I want to call everyone
I want to know what to say when you mean it

I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep

Now That You're Here lyrics - Deacon Blue

Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around

If you're thinking of looking at setting me free
Be sure and tell me baby, so I can see
Cause you can charm the birds down from that old oak tree
Someday I know I'm scared it's gonna be me

These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here

Are we awake or are we asleep?
Is there something, something you really need?
Your love, your love, your love is what makes me believe
It keeps raging so hard it brings me peace

These are just the sad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now that you're here

Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around
Everything's got easier since you've been around

These are just the sad times
Don't imagine things just can't get better
These are just the bad times
Don't go thinking they're gonna last forever
These are just the bad times
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now
Everything's got easier now that you're here

Silverlake lyrics - Deacon Blue

Forty men in a paper boat
No plan to hand just tearing a hole
To get the water out
Got together on a phone-in show
Oh how we love that talk radio
No one else say's it like that
Here we are now a-singing songs
We all know where it all went wrong
We're going to put it right
Oh yeah

One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at silverlake

Try some of these and turn down all the lights
You might find love unusually nice
More if you care for her
I went on the TV twice
Once for the money and once for advice
I tell it like it is
Come up and see us

One night up at silverlake
The place was jumping, people goin' ape
All the paper and the news
Was waiting for us to say
Let the oil trucks roll away
Won't forget us in a hurry
All the boys down at silverlake

One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said

One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at silverlake
One night up at silverlake
John the taxi and Willy the brake
Said all the things that needed said
We named and shamed
And stuck it out on the web
Sorted it at night at silverlake

A Is For Astronaut lyrics - Deacon Blue

You don't have to be grateful
For all the world's ills
There's plenty of people
Never seen the white cliffs of Dover

So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything

Got caught in the headlights
Saying something special
There's never a moment
When the beat stops long enough to hear the message

So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything

We all get stuck and we don't know why
We think there's no place we can go to
We need to trip on to

So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything
So come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A is for astronaut
E is for everything

Beautifully Still lyrics - Deacon Blue

Send me down my future
From your wheel of fire
Let me only fly
On your wings of desire
What happened to that ride
On your chariot of gold
It had only lasted minutes
From the centuries you hold

What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move

I want us to be closer
In fifty years or more
Getting young not older
Like we were here before
But your quarters are all sullied
Your alter boys asleep
Your priests have drunk the wine
You meant us all to keep

What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move

What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I'm not saying your dead
I just think you've changed
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move

Homesick lyrics - Deacon Blue

There's me and daddy out at Lunan Bay
Now looking dandy stepping out Saturday
I can still see the buses
Lined up to take the dancing home

That's me on the stairs suitcase in hand
Kidding on but knowing that one day he planned
To leave all that behind
And see what the big smoke's saying

These are just some photographs talking
Make it look easy
To imagine just walking
Back into someone's arms
And feeling
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick

Maybe you have a question too
You recognize a face in unfamiliar shoes
You don't see a man just someone broken down
Standing in front of you

This could be just a photograph talking
I make it look easy
To get up and start walking
Back out of these arms
And feeling
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick

I'm just
Homesick
Homesick
Homesick

Even Higher Ground lyrics - Deacon Blue

I could almost weep
If I could only take your hand
we're so close to sleep
And so far from deliverance
Once in every lifetime
Love comes down

Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall

Oh you came tumbling in
Like a river to the valley
Which will not be rolling green again
It's washed everything away
Well it stretches out so beautifully
Shows the heavens up above

Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall

I couldn't love you better
If I'd loved you all my life
You threw out all the questions
With one big breath - welcome to the world

Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall

I Am Born lyrics - Deacon Blue

All the people in all the world
Will look for something that will keep it turning
Everyone's got to keep the will
Every boy every girl

I'm no different why the other day
I saw death like an ocean that could wash us away
The only comfort that I got was this
I once was unlovely and now I'm kissed

I am born
Aliver than the raging sea
Stranger than the strangest beasts
Than ever can be

After midnight and the night is black
You lie awake and the fear comes back
That your breath will stop
And this world will carry on

But I am born
Once there was nothing here
Not even the smell of fear
Nothing at all

Until you are born
Gasping out and in to open air
Taking hold of the atmosphere
And loving being born
