Three Favorites From 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

[Chorus]
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 rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath,
Your words keep me alive

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I'll 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



It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room

I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home

[Chorus]
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

You take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me

Are you an angel
Am I already that gone
I only hope
That I won't disappoint you

When I'm down here
On my knees

[Chorus: x2]

And I don't understand
By the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything, about you

It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room

[Chorus: x2]



Mother teach me to walk again
Milk and honey so intoxicating

[CHORUS]

And into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the fire
I yearn for comfort

Open the doors that lead on in to Eden
Don't want no cheap disguise
I follow the signs marked back to the beginning
No more compromise

[CHORUS]

Free the water that carries me to the sea
You I see as my security

[CHORUS]

I will stare into the sun until its light doesn't blind me
I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn't burn me
And I will feed the fire

[CHORUS]

Her music depresses me. I made the mistake of buying her Greatest Hits album but I never listen to it.

Well because of that stupid Angel song she put with those poor abused animals in that commercial. GAH (AGAIN). That was too much. I like her more bouncy stuff like these three are.
