Good Enough - Sarah McLachlan

Hey your glass is empty, it's a hell of a long way home, Why don't you let me take you, it's no good to go alone, I never would have opened up but you seemed so real to me, After all the bullshit I've heard it's refreshing not to see, I don't have to pretend, she doesn't expect it from me

So don't tell me I haven't been good to you, Don't tell me I haven't been there for you. Just tell me why nothing is good enough

Hey little girl would you like some candy, your momma said that it's o.k., The door is open come on outside, no I can't come out today, It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder and threw you to the ground, Who's there that makes you so afraid you're shaken to the bone, You know I don't understand, you deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why he's never been good to you, Don't tell me why he's never been there for you, And I'll tell you that why is simply not good enough, So just let me try and I will be good to you Just let me try and I will be there for you, I'll show you why you're so much more than good enough

Possession - Sarah McLachlan

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide, Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time, The night is my companion and solitude my guide, Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied, And I would be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away and after I'd wipe away the tears, Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed, Trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved, Oh you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhyme My body aches to breathe your breath, you words keep me alive, And I would be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard , I'll take your breath away and after I'd wipe away the tears, Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander, it's morning that I dread, Another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread, Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride, Nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied, And I would be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard , I'll take your breath away and after I'd wipe away the tears, Just close your eyes dear...

Hold On - Sarah McLachlan

Plenty - Sarah McLachlan

I looked into your eyes they told me plenty I already knew. You never felt a thing so soon forgotten all dthat you do is more than words I tried to tell you the more I tried I failed I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say. I thought I'd be with you wntil my dying day. Until my dying day. I used to think my life was often empty a lonely space to fill you hurt me more than I ever could have imagined. You made my world stand still and in that stillness there was a freedom I never felt before. I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say. I thought I'd be with you until my dying day. Until my dying day.

Mary - Sarah McLachlan

Mary walks down to the water's edge and there she hang her head to find herself faded shadow of what she once was She say's "How long have I been sleeping and why do I feel so old why do I feel so cold my heart is saying one thing but my body wont let go."

Mary walks...

Fumbling Towards Ecstacy - Sarah McLachlan

All the fear has left me now I'm not frightened anymore. It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh. it's my mouth that pushes out this breath and if I shed a tear I wont cage it . I wont fear love and if I feel a rage I wont deny it. I wont fear love. Companion to our domons they will dance and we will play. With chairs candles and clothes making darkness in the day. It will be easy to look in or out upstream or down without a thought and if I shed a tear I wont cahe it . I wont fear love and if I feel a rage I wont deny it . I wont fear love. Peace in the struggle to find peace.Comfort on dthe way to comfort and if I shed a tear I wont cage it . I wont fear love and if I feel a rage I wont deny it I wont fear love. I wont fear love. I wont fear love...

Elsewhere - Sarah McLachlan

I love the time and inbetween the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe I believe there is a distance I have wandered to touch upon the years of reaching out and reaching in holding out holding in. I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I'll defend it a s long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to would you try to understand . I know this love is passing time passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire but I love the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near.. I believe.. I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to would you try to understand. Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free the mold that clings like desperation. Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me might not be right for you but it's right for me.. I believe.. I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and i'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to would you try to understand it. I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to would you try to understand...

Wait - Sarah McLachlan

Under a blackened sky far beyond the glaring streetlights sleepingon empty dreams the vultures lie in wait. You lay down beside me then you were with me every waking hour so close I could feel your breath. When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold that precious little thing like every generation yields the new born hope unjaded by the years. Pressed up against the glass I found myself wanting sympathy but to be consumed again oh I know would be the death of me and there is a love that's inherantly given a kind of blindness offered to decieve and in that light of forbidden joy oh I know I wont recieve it . When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold that precious little thing like every generation yields the newborn hope unjaded by their years. You know if I leave you now it doesn't mean I love you any less its just the state I'm in I can't be good to anyone else like this. When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold that precious little thing like every generation yields the newborn hope unjaded by their years...

Ice Cream - Sarah McLachlan

Your love is better than ice cream. Better than anything else that I've tried and your love is better than ice cream everyone here know how to fight and it's a long way down it's a long way down it's a long way down to the place where we started from. Your love is better than chocolate better than anything else that I've tried and oh love is better than chocolate. Everyone here knows how to cry and it's a long way down it's a long way down it's a long way down to the place where we started from... do do do...

Ice - Sarah McLachlan

The ice is thin come on dive in underneath my lucid skin. The cold is lost, forgotten. Hours pass days pass time stands still light gets dark and darkness fills my secret heart forbidden ... I think you worried for me then the subtler ways that I'd givein but I know you liked the show. Tied down to this bed of shame you tried to move around the pain but oh your soul is anchored. The only comfort is the moving of the river. You enter into me A lie upon your lips. Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get only a fool's here... I dont like your tragic sighs as if your god has passed you by well hey fool that's your deception. Your angels speak with jilted tongue the serpent's tale has come undone you have no strength to squander. The only comfort is the moveing of the river you enter into me a lie upon your lips offer what you can I'll take all that I can get only a fool's here to stay. Only a fool's here to stay. Only a fool's here...

Fear - Sarah McLachlan

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 loose here in this lonely place. Tangled up in your embrace there's 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 and nothing yields to shelter it from above. The say temptation will destroy our love. The never ending hunger but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to loose here in this lonely place tangled up in our embrace theres nothing I'd like better than to fall but I fear I have nothing to heve. I have so much to loose. I have nothing to give. We have so much to lose...

Circle - Sarah McLachlan

There are two of us talking in circles and one of us who wants to leave in a world created for only us an empty cage that has no key. Don't you know we're working with flesh and blood carving out of jelousy.Crawling into each other it's smothering every little part of me. What kind of love is this that keeps me hanging on despite everything its doing to me. What is this love that keeps me coming back for more when it will only end in misery. I know too many people unhappy in a life from which they'd love to flee, watching others get every offer, they're wanton for discovery. Oh my brother my sister my mother your loosing your identity. Can't you see that it's you in the window shining with intensity. What kind of love is this that keeps me hanging on despite everything it's doing to me. What is this love that keeps me coming back for more when it will only end in misery.
