  1. Dance me to the end of loveVer letra 4:40

    [X]

    letra de Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
    Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
    Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
    We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
    Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

  2. Coming back to youVer letra 3:30

    [X]

    letra de Coming back to you

    Maybe I'm still hurting
    I can't turn the other cheek
    But you know that I still love you
    It's just that I can't speak
    I looked for you in everyone
    And they called me on that too
    I lived alone but I was only
    Coming back to you
    Ah they're shutting down the factory now
    Just when all the bills are due
    And the fields they're under lock and key
    Tho' the rain and the sun come through
    And springtime starts but then it stops
    In the name of something new
    And all the senses rise against this
    Coming back to you
    And they're handing down my sentence now
    And I know what I must do
    Another mile of silence while I'm
    Coming back to you
    There are many in your life
    And many still to be
    Since you are a shining light
    There's many that you'll see
    But I have to deal with envy
    When you choose the precious few
    Who've left their pride on the other side of
    Coming back to you
    Even in your arms I know
    I'll never get it right
    Even when you bend to give me
    Comfort in the night
    I've got to have your word on this
    Or none of it is true
    And all I've said was just instead of
    Coming back to you

  3. The lawVer letra 4:22

    [X]

    letra de The law

    How many times did you call me
    And I knew it was late
    I left everybody
    But I never went straight
    I don't claim to be guilty
    But I do understand
    There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
    Now my heart's like a blister
    From doing what I do
    If the moon has a sister
    It's got to be you
    I'm going to miss you forever
    Tho' it's not what I planned
    There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
    Now the deal has been dirty
    Since dirty began
    I'm not asking for mercy
    Not from the man
    You just don't ask for mercy
    While you're still on the stand
    There s a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
    I don't claim to be guilty
    Guilty's too grand
    There s a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
    That's all I can say, baby
    That's all I can say
    It wasn't for nothing
    They put me away
    I fell with my angel
    Down the chain of command
    There s a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

  4. Night comes onVer letra 4:36

    [X]

    letra de Night comes on

    I went down to the place
    Where I knew she lay waiting
    Under the marble and the snow
    I said, Mother I'm frightened
    The thunder and the lightning
    I'll never come through this alone
    She said, I'll be with you
    My shawl wrapped around you
    My hand on your head when you go
    And the night came on
    It was very calm
    I wanted the night to go on and on
    But she said, Go back to the World
    We were fighting in Egypt
    When they signed this agreement
    That nobody else had to die
    There was this terrible sound
    And my father went down
    With a terrible wound in his side
    He said, Try to go on
    Take my books, take my gun
    Remember, my son, how they lied
    And the night comes on
    It's very calm
    I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
    But you don't want to lie, not to the young
    We were locked in this kitchen
    I took to religion
    And I wondered how long she would stay
    I needed so much
    To have nothing to touch
    I've always been greedy that way
    But my son and my daughter
    Climbed out of the water
    Crying, Papa, you promised to play
    And they lead me away
    To the great surprise
    It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes
    And they hide, they hide in the World
    Now I look for her always
    I'm lost in this calling
    I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
    Saying, When will she summon me
    When will she come to me
    What must I do to prepare
    When she bends to my longing
    Like a willow, like a fountain
    She stands in the luminous air
    And the night comes on
    And it's very calm
    I lie in her arms and says, When I'm gone
    I'll be yours, yours for a song
    Now the crickets are singing
    The vesper bells ringing
    The cat's curled asleep in his chair
    I'll go down to Bill's Bar
    I can make it that far
    And I'll see if my friends are still there
    Yes, and here's to the few
    Who forgive what you do
    And the fewer who don't even care
    And the night comes on
    It's very calm
    I want to cross over, I want to go home
    But she says, Go back, go back to the World

  5. HallelujahVer letra 4:34

    [X]

    letra de Hallelujah

    Now I've heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
    She tied you
    To a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    You say I took the name in vain
    I don't even know the name
    But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
    There's a blaze of light
    In every word
    It doesn't matter which you heard
    The holy or the broken Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    I did my best, it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    And even though
    It all went wrong
    I'll stand before the Lord of Song
    With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah

  6. The captainVer letra 4:05

    [X]

    letra de The captain

    Now the Captain called me to his bed
    He fumbled for my hand
    "Take these silver bars," he said
    "I'm giving you command."
    "Command of what, there's no one here
    There's only you and me
    All the rest are dead or in retreat
    Or with the enemy."
    "Complain, complain, that's all you've done
    Ever since we lost
    If it's not the Crucifixion
    Then it's the Holocaust."
    "May Christ have mercy on your soul
    For making such a joke
    Amid these hearts that burn like coal
    And the flesh that rose like smoke."
    "I know that you have suffered, lad,
    But suffer this awhile:
    Whatever makes a soldier sad
    Will make a killer smile."
    "I'm leaving, Captain, I must go
    There's blood upon your hand
    But tell me, Captain, if you know
    Of a decent place to stand."
    "There is no decent place to stand
    In a massacre;
    But if a woman take your hand
    Go and stand with her."
    "I left a wife in Tennessee
    And a baby in Saigon
    I risked my life, but not to hear
    Some country-western song."
    "Ah but if you cannot raise your love
    To a very high degree,
    Then you're just the man I've been thinking of
    So come and stand with me."
    "Your standing days are done," I cried,
    "You'll rally me no more.
    I don't even know what side
    We fought on, or what for."
    "I'm on the side that's always lost
    Against the side of Heaven
    I'm on the side of Snake-eyes tossed
    Against the side of Seven.
    And I've read the Bill of Human Rights
    And some of it was true
    But there wasn't any burden left
    So I'm laying it on you."
    Now the Captain he was dying
    But the Captain wasn't hurt
    The silver bars were in my hand
    I pinned them to my shirt.

  7. Junter's lullaby 2:23
  8. Heart with no companionVer letra 3:01

    [X]

    letra de Heart with no companion

    Now I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast
    And so shattered, it will reach you everywhere.
    And I sing this for the captain whose ship has not been built, for the mother in
    Confusion, her cradle still unfilled.
    For the heart with no companion, for the soul without a king. for the prima
    Ballerina who cannot dance to anything.
    Through the days of shame that are coming, through the nights of wild distress,
    Though your promise count for nothing, you must keep it nonetheless.
    You must keep it for the captain whose ship has not been built. for the mother in
    Confusion her cradle still unfilled.
    For the heart with no companion, for the soul without a king, for the prima
    Ballerina who cannot dance to anything.

  9. If it be your willVer letra 3:40

    [X]

    letra de If it be your will

    If it be your will
    That I speak no more
    And my voice be still
    As it was before
    I will speak no more
    I shall abide until
    I am spoken for
    If it be your will
    If it be your will
    That a voice be true
    From this broken hill
    I will sing to you
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing
    If it be your will
    If there is a choice
    Let the rivers fill
    Let the hills rejoice
    Let your mercy spill
    On all these burning hearts in hell
    If it be your will
    To make us well
    And draw us near
    And bind us tight
    All your children here
    In their rags of light
    In our rags of light
    All dressed to kill
    And end this night
    If it be your will
    If it be your will
