Her Heart – “East”

Bjork: Come To Me 

Lyrics

Come to me

I’ll take care of you

Protect you

Calm, calm down

You’re exhausted

Come lie down

You don’t have to explain

I understand

You know

That I adore you

You know

That I love you

So don’t make me say it

It would burst the bubble

Break the charm

Jump off

Your building’s on fire

And I’ll catch you

I’ll catch you

Destroy all that is keeping you down

And then I’ll nurse you

I’ll nurse you

I’ll protect you

You know

That I adore you

You know

That I love you

So don’t make me say it

It would burst the bubble

Break the charm

Sarah McLachlan: I Love You  

Lyrics

I have a smile

Stretched from ear to ear

To see you walking down the road

We meet at the lights

I stare for a while

The world around us disappears

It’s just you and me

On my island of hope

A breath between us could be miles

Let me surround you

My sea to your shore

Let me be the calm you seek

Oh, and every time I’m close to you

There’s too much I can’t say

And you just walk away

And I forgot to tell you I love you

And the night’s too long

And cold here without you

I grieve in my condition

For I cannot find the words to say, “I need you so”

Oh, and every time I’m close to you

There’s too much I can’t say

And you just walk away

And I forgot to tell you

I love you

And the night’s too long

And cold here without you

I grieve in my condition

For I cannot find the words to say, “I need you so”

Where It Went – “Phil”

Sarah McLachlan: Fear  

Lyrics

Morning smiles

Like the face of a newborn child

Innocent unknowing

Winter’s end

Promises of a long lost friend

Speaks to me of comfort

But I fear, I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose here in this lonely place

Tangled up in our embrace

There’s nothing I’d like better than to fall

But I fear, I have nothing to give

Wind in time

Rapes the flower trembling on the vine

Nothing yields to shelter

From above

They say temptation will destroy our love

The never ending hunger

But I fear, I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose here in this lonely place

Tangled up in our embrace

There’s nothing I’d like better than to fall

But I fear, I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose

I have nothing to give

I have so much to lose

The Whole Play

Assemblage 23: Lullaby  

Lyrics

May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep

Despite the wolves outside your door

In time you will see them all as harmless

And their idle threats easy to ignore

And if ever fate should choose to smite you

Stand your ground, never walk away

Please don't ever let the world defeat you

Don't get buried in its decay

As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams

May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe

For it only takes a fraction of a second

For all of this to change

Return to me

When slumber's fog has lifted

Return to me

Stronger than before

As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time

May you be thankful that you had another day

For there comes a time when each of us will enter

A sleep from which we will never wake

And if ever fate should choose to smite you

Stand your ground, never walk away

Please don't ever let the world defeat you

Don't get buried in its decay

Close your eyes now, if only for a moment 

For it's time you get some rest 

The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you 

Let go of your fragile consciousness
