Vienna Teng Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics ) Anna Rose Anna Rose sleep well tonight The stars are dancing on the carpet of the sky Time to close your wondering eyes Where I see the sleepiness creeping Anna Rose it makes my heart smile To know you give love so freely Anna Rose it makes it worthwhile Your love makes me see things so clearly How it grows heaven knows Anna Rose sleep well tonight Anna Rose it's time to dream I see that your imagination knows no bounds There it flows like some magical stream And carries you on its journey Anna Rose it makes my heart smile To know you give love so freely Anna Rose it makes it worthwhile Your love makes me see things so clearly How it grows heaven knows Anna Rose dream well tonight...

Between Between We are not together here Though we lie entwined To make room for the other presence We both draw back in our minds I have a prophecy Threatening to spill into words This growing certainty Of Over There once was a time I was sure of the bond When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough We are the same but our lives move along And the third one between replaces what once was love Freedom is being alone I fear liberation But something more alive than silence Swallows conversation No pleasing drama In subtle averted eyes The swelling fermata As the chord dies There's no denying we feel the third one We do I'm tired of hiding and so are you...

Daughter Daughter Well it's you and it's me Me with a drink in my hand The ice is tinkling like a windchime And late afternoon settles over the land And you're talking about things Interesting just slightly And things that matter too much To say any way but lightly Did you know you're so beautiful On the edge of summer That years from now I'll cry to remember How very close you were Knowing this will I reach for you Knowing this will I reach for you The way you want me to Well it's time to be wise Wise in the ways of the heart To come out from under the covers This voluntary state of apart From the faces, oasis In this Sahara of sorrow These graces that hold me It's from you that I borrowed Did you know you're so beautiful On the edge of summer That years from now I'll cry to remember How very close you were Knowing this will I reach for you Knowing this will I reach for you The way you want me to...

Decade And One Decade And One Once when I was thirty one I woke in the dead of night And heard the vastness of the snowfall outside Slipped downstairs in my bare feet Soon forgotten freezing And poured a milk glass full To wait out the tide It's been a decade and one Been a decade and one my friend Decade and one Since i've As the white went down I thought of the child upstairs I thought of the god upstairs That I couldn't believe I thought of the chosen man Asleep on his side of the bed How green becomes wood in the family tree Been a decade and one Been a decade and one so soon Decade and one Since i stood so proud And so unsure Ebony glowing by the window there As always Fingers kissed the keys oh so tenderly Cool ivory returned in kind I thought of anger and adulation And the taste of dreams realized And the waste dreams realized leave behind Decade and one Decade and one I said out loud Decade and one And I am here And I am here still standing...

Drought Drought Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall Wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all How sweet is the day I'm craving a darkness As I sit tucked away with my back to the wall And the taste of dried up hopes in my mouth And the landscape of merry and desperate drought How much longer dear angels Let winterlight come And spread your white sheets over my empty house Summer move forward and leave your heat anchored in dust Forgotten him, cheated him, painted illusions of lust Now language escape, fugitive of forgiveness Leaving as trace only circles of rust And the taste of dried up hopes in my mouth And the landscape of merry and desperate drought How much longer dear angels Come break me with ice Let the water of calm trickle over my doubts Come let me drown Angels no fire no salt on the plow Carry me down Bury me down And the taste of dried-up hopes in my mouth And the landscape of merry and desperate drought Once I knew myself And with knowing came love I would know love again if I had faith enough Too far is next spring and her jubilant shout So angels, inside Is the only way out...

Enough To Go By Enough To Go By I'm at your back door With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin You won't recognize me For the light in my eyes is strange It was years ago, God knows When you strained to tell me your whole truth That you were not mine to save That you could not change Carry the weight I'll carry the weight of you this time Carry the weight I'll carry the weight of you Would it be enough to go by If we could sail on the wind and the dark Cut those chains in the middle of the night That had you pulled apart Would it be enough to go by If there's moonlight pulling the tide Would it be enough to live on If my love could keep you alive I've built a lot of castles I've built a lot of blazing speed of light machines But it doesn't matter, you know They all crumble in the winds of change So I turned back to breathing I learned a few good reasons to cry And I finally called home Praying you weren't out of range Carry the weight I'll carry the weight of you, I swear Carry the weight I'll carry the weight of you Would it be enough to go by If we could sail on the wind and the dark Cut those chains in the middle of the night That had you pulled apart Would it be enough to go by If there's moonlight pulling the tide Would it be enough to live on If my love could keep you alive So will you let me come in Mosquitoes have found me And they're crowding 'round my blood At least offer me a drink Or a breaking of the ice I'm wanting your anger I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep And bring you out under this flooded sky At any price So carry the weight Carry the weight of me in your heart Carry the weight Carry the weight of me Would it be enough to go by If we could sail on the wind and the dark Cut those chains in the middle of the night That had you pulled apart Would it be enough to go by If there's moonlight pulling the tide Would it be enough to live on If my love could keep you alive...

Eric's Song Eric's Song Strange how you know inside me I measure the time and I stand amazed Strange how I know inside you My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze And of course I forgive I've seen how you live Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes You pick up the pieces And the ghosts in the attic They never quite leave And of course I forgive You've seen how I live I've got darkness and fears to appease My voices and analogies Ambitions like ribbons Worn bright on my sleeve Strange how we know each other Strange how I fit into you There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease Strange how you fit into me A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs And with each passing day The stories we say Draw us tighter into our addiction Confirm our conviction That some kind of miracle Passed on our heads And how I am sure Like never before Of my reasons for defying reason Embracing the seasons We dance through the colors Both followed and led Strange how we fit each other Strange how certain the journey Time unfolds the petals For our eyes to see Strange how this journey's hurting In ways we accept as part of fate's decree So we just hold on fast Acknowledge the past As lessons exquisitely crafted Painstakingly drafted To carve ourselves instruments That play the music of life For we don't realize Our faith in the prize Unless it's been somehow elusive How swiftly we choose it The sacred simplicity Of you at my side...

Feather Moon Feather Moon Feather moon Scarlet sky Living clouds My blinded eye Waters black Wood in snow Dead of night How bright you glow Breathe in breathe out Exhale and inhale Seven sins God of stone All is true Down to the bone Feather moon Scarlet sky I love you endlessly Not knowing why Exhale and inhale Exhale and inhale...

Gravity Gravity Hey love Is that the name you're meant to have For me to call Look love They've given up believing They've turned aside our stories of the gentle fall But don't you believe them Don't you drink their poison too These are the scars that words have carved On me Hey love That's the name we've long held back From the core of truth So don't turn away now I am turning in revolution These are the scars that silence carved On me This the same place No, not the same place This is the same place, love No, not the same place we've been before Hey, love I am a constant satellite Of your blazing sun My love I obey your law of gravity This is the fate you've carved on me The law of gravity This is the fate you've carved on me...

Harbor Harbor We're here where the daylight begins The fog on the streetlight slowly thins Water on water's the way The safety of shoreline fading away Sail your sea Meet your storm All I want is to be your harbor The light in me Will guide you home All I want is to be your harbor Fear is the brightest of signs The shape of the boundary you leave behind So sing all your questions to sleep The answers are out there in the drowning deep You've got a journey to make There's your horizon to chase So go far beyond where we stand No matter the distance I'm holding your hand...

Homecoming (Walter's Song) Homecoming (Walter's Song) It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears That I was born in North Carolina Not an hour from her home town And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball And there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is We've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives Where my days are strips of highway And she's wiping tables down Holding on and still waiting for that windfall But I've come home Even though I've never had so far to go I've come home I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill Head across the street where vacancy is burning in neon still Well the night eats up my body heat And there's no sign of another And I find myself slipping down into that black But things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days And I'm preaching from the pulpit To cries of "Amen brother" Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back And I've come home Even though I swear I've never been so alone I've come home I just want to be living as I'm dying Just like everybody here Just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile And I don't know where I'm driving to But I know I'm getting old And there's a blessing in every moment every mile Thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups Old Gideons Bible in the nightstand drawer saying "Go on open up" Well I'll kneel down on the carpet here Though I never was sure of God Think tonight I'll give Him the benefit of the doubt I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed Her hair falling all around me I smile and shake my head Well we all write our own endings And we all have our own scars But tonight I think I see what it's all about Because I've come home I've come home...

Hope On Fire Hope On Fire Gotta fight gotta strike 'Cause there's no turning away From what you don't want to know Gotta see gotta be If they're all going astray Don't let them take you in tow You're a one-man shift in the weather You're the woman who just won't sell Climbing up and ringing the bell Ooh you're gonna make your mark this time Ooh you're gonna set your hope on fire Gotta leave gotta bleed You've gotta stop lying still 'Cause this is no kind of life You don't need guarantees You just want something to build Before you turn to the knife When the streets are aflood like a fever It's a holiday of the new We're coming closer now to the truth Gotta move gotta choose You've got a difference to make Don't watch it happen again Gotta change rearrange Something's bending to break It's just a matter of when...

Lullabye For A Stormy Night Lullabye For A Stormy Night Little child, be not afraid The rain pounds harsh against the glass Like an unwanted stranger There is no danger I am here tonight Little child Be not afraid Though thunder explodes And lightning flash Illuminates your tearstained face I am here tonight And someday you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land And forests and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning Little child Be not afraid The storm clouds mask your beloved moon And its candlelight beams Still keep pleasant dreams I am here tonight Little child Be not afraid The wind makes creatures of our trees And the branches to hands They're not real, understand And I am here tonight And someday you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land And forest and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning For you know, once even I Was a little child And I was afraid But a gentle someone always came To dry all my tears Trade sweet sleep the fears And to give a kiss goodnight Well, now I am grown And these years have shown Rain's a part of how life goes But it's dark and it's late So I'll hold you and wait 'til your frightened eyes do close And I hope that you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land And forests and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning Everything's fine in the morning The rain will be gone in the morning But I'll still be here in the morning...

Mission Street Mission Street Mission Street is a striking dark eyed stranger Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane As I sit as though awaiting some return And my hands are cold tonight I'm sleepless in this dark Forgetting what it was I came to find And it seems that I've been wrong More than I've been right More than I've been right Mission Street calls out to me by name Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath Like an offering of contraband misread And my hands are cold tonight On the strings of this guitar Looking for the chords of what I've left behind And it seems that I've been wrong More than I've been right More than I've been right Mission Street is alive at every hour Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be A light so steady on the mountains in the distance A solitude so deep it might awaken me Well my hands are cold tonight But the sky is bright with stars And I'm tearing through the veil that keeps me blind And it seems the more I'm wrong The more that I am right The more that I am right...

Momentum Momentum Why am I walking barefoot Upon this road with no one around I close my eyes to this decision The night's like coffee to my tongue Like waking up without a sound I map the words out Maybe you will say them Won't you help me rise up Touch my face and watch me try to breathe again Would you let me do this Burn down the final wall Overcome me, baby Overcome me, baby Overcome me, baby Overcome me, yeah All I'm asking is to be alive For once Always I am mistaken I look for love, I find a stone Of all the seasons, winter befriends me I come to you in friendship And hold my breath against the snow What are you thinking as I gaze into you Forgive me the confusion Forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed You are the answer Cry and smile the same Overcome me, baby Overcome me, baby Overcome me, baby Overcome, yeah All I'm asking is to be All I'm asking is to be Alive Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby (overcome me) Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby (overcome me) Overcome Overcome Overcome Overcome All I'm asking is to be Alive...

My Medea My Medea Inside the labyrinth walls There lies a tiny child who sleeps alone And as the daylight falls The wind becomes so wild across the stone For I have made her prison be Her every step away from me And this child I would destroy If you tried to set her free So come to me my love I'll tap into your strength and drain it dry Can never have enough For you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky For it's my thoughts that bind me here It's this love that I most fear And this child I would destroy For I hold her pain most dear No haven for this heart No shelter for this child in mazes lost Heaven keep us apart A curse for every mile of ocean crossed For I must die for what I've done A twist of fate a desert sun For I see what I destroy Sweet reflection knife into me For I see what I destroy I can see what I've begun...

Passage Passage I died in a car crash two days ago Was unrecognizable When they pulled me from the gears No one's fault, no one's bottle No one's teenage pride or throttle Our innocence is all the worse for fears The other walked away alive Arms wrapped now around his wife My lover sits, the silent eye In a hurricane of warmth and word My mother trembles with the sobs Whose absence seems absurd My sister shouts to let her see Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me My colleagues call for silence in my name I died in a car crash three months ago They burned me until I glowed And crumbled to a fine gray sand Now I am nothing, everywhere Several breaths of strangers' air And all thoughts ever written in my hand They plant my tree out in the yard It grows but takes the winter hard My lover holds a knife to wrist Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while My mother tosses in the sheets And dreams me holding my own child My sister plays our homemade tapes Laughs as tears run down her face My office door now wears a different name I died in a car crash four years ago My tree drinks melted snow Just eight feet tall a pale and fragile thing Bee stings beaches bright vacations Sunburnt high school graduations A sparrow healing from a broken wing This year a glimpse of second chances Tiny apples on my tree's branches My lover hears the open wind And crawls blinking into the sun My mother leafs through photographs And thinks "yes she was a lovely one" My sister can't decide her truth Asks aloud what I might do In a conference hall my brief efforts engraved I died in a car crash A lifetime ago it seems Been a decade or two or three They've just release a new design Bars and bags front and behind My fate now an impossibility Safely packaged hurtling down The highway hardly make a sound My lover very much alive Arms wrapped now around his wife...

Say Uncle Say Uncle Everyone agrees it came too soon It was only meant to be an interception You kept fear of death in the back pocket of your jeans In the palm of your hand, affection It came like a sudden gust of wind Leaving them bewildered to ask how I recall last time we met, you said we'd meet again The irony is only bitter now These days everyone cries, "say uncle" They want to touch your spirit lest it die For this your sons and widow gather with us at the table To form a healing circle for our new demise These days everyone cries, "say uncle" I retrieve the memories quickly as I can Add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds Your body gone, we shall keep the man I close my eyes and hope they do not fade These remnants of a voice and a smile Images of landscape, cloaked in forest green Like your life unfolding mile by mile A fierce embrace, a word of thanks A cheerful whistle, and hours in a van Somehow these pieces must bring back the man you were Though the ocean claims your ashes on the sand These days everyone cries, "Say uncle" They want to touch your spirit lest it die For this your sons and widow gather with us at the table To form a healing circle for our new demise These days everyone cries, "say uncle" I retrieve the memories quickly as I can Add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds Your body gone, we shall keep the man...

Shasta (Carrie's Song) Shasta (Carrie's Song) So far so good You're coming to the bend at the end of the road You put a hand to the belly that's foreign more With every day like an oversize load And you're thinking about clouds the color of fire And the scent of an orange peel The way Mt. Shasta explodes into windshield view And your hands steady on the wheel So far so good Coffee motel coffee diner coffee go on Styrofoam is drying like the tears that once did flow Starting 10 o'clock and ending at dawn And you can't go back but you're going back And you don't know what you'll say You've got half formed sentences Explanations for a life half-broken away And they just may They'll take you in their arms and then take out their knives So you drive on thinking So far so good But you can't go on much longer like this you know You're all alone in this world no that's not true The nice Christian lady told you so She was handing out pamphlets by the clinic door Saying "Jesus knows what you've been through Take the Savior into your heart my child There's love waiting for the both of you" Well you don't believe but you have to believe It's still crumpled there in your back seat Were you the hero or the worst kind of coward back there Putting pavement back under your feet Couldn't stand the heat Couldn't stand the thought of ghosts with a negative age Turn the page OK So far so good You try to sing along to the radio But it's not your language not your song It's from some other time ago And you're thinking about how someone died that day The you that was so carefully planned But then again maybe this life is like a sleeping mountain Waking up to shape the land Calm calm let it come let it come back to you Calm calm breathe on out you know you know what to do...

Shine Shine In this desert land I know some rain must fall See where we began We've come so far On this harbor shore We hear the ocean call In our minds at war We have so far to go Shine with all the untold Hold the light given unto you Find the love to unfold In this broken world we choose In unending storms We search for space to breathe How our hearts are worn We've come so far In this desert How we blossom and we cease Tell your story now We have so much to know...

Soon Love Soon Soon Love Soon Soon, love, soon Soon, love, soon Soon, love, soon There'll be a fire burning in the temple of our peace (Soon love soon) There'll be the soaring voice for a silent plea (Soon love soon) We will hold a broken circle and begin to pray (Soon love soon) We will find a black and white in the grey And we will be as one god And we will be as one people And we will be as one god And we will be as one people (Soon love soon) We will find illumination in unnatural light (Soon love soon) You will travel a thousand miles without leaving my sight (Soon love soon) We will find we never knew hatred ran so deep (Soon love soon) Such a wide, wide chasm of faith to leap But we will be as one god And we will be as one people And we will be as one god And we will be as one people Yes we will be as one god And we will be as one people (Soon love soon) There'll be an evolution of the human soul (Soon love soon) We will know that to be a part is to be truly whole (Soon love soon) We will know the pattern of centuries' rise and fall (Soon love soon) We will know that the fate of one is the fate of all And we will be as one god And we will be as one people...

The Atheist Christmas Carol The Atheist Christmas Carol It's the season of grace coming out of the void Where a man is saved by a voice in the distance It's the season of possible miracle cures Where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown Where time begins to fade And age is welcome home It's the season of eyes meeting over the noise And holding fast with sharp realization It's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention You are safe here you know now Don't forget Don't forget I love I love I love you It's the season of scars and of wounds in the heart Of feeling the full weight of our burdens It's the season of bowing our heads in the wind And knowing we are not alone in fear Not alone in the dark...

The Tower The Tower The one who survives by making the lives Of others worthwhile She's coming apart Tight before my eyes The one who depends on the services she renders To those who come knocking She's seeing too clearly what she can't be What understanding defies She says I need not to need Or else a love with intuition Someone who reaches out to my weakness And won't let go I need not to need I've always been the tower But now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow She turns up the light Anticipating night falling tenderly around her Watches the dusk The words won't come She carries the act so convincingly The fact is sometimes she believes it She can be happy with the way things are Be happy with the things she's done And yet I need not to need Or else a love with intuition Someone who reaches out to my weakness And won't let go I need not to need I've always been the tower But now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow Reach out, hold back Where is safety Reach out and hold back Where is the one who can change me Where is the one The one Reach out, hold back Where is safety Reach out and hold back Where is the one who can save me Where is the one The one I need not to need Or else a love with intuition Someone who reaches out to my weakness And won't let go I need not to need I've always been the tower But now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in the snow The danger and the power Friend and the foe...

Unwritten Letter Unwritten Letter Nightfall we're brushing past your town Destination not you my one The driver doesn't know way down How deep these bright eyed feelings run I've no intention of confessing today I need to make distance a while But miles don't make your image fade They don't erase this secret smile Everything reminds me Wet grey gold lit streets Shop displays near-lovers meet I feel the grasp of your hand still This your face now in the glass Breathing whisper what is this Bent so close we nearly kiss Although we never will Strange that there's no hurtful need Used to be my only sign On my mind would make me bleed Why is it that I'm feeling fine Why is it this warmth within No candlelight that causes burn Memories of you begin Well welcome friends Glad you've returned Everything reminds me Music surging bedroom dance Crazy spinning sultry glance I inhale your presence still These your arms of daring grace Encircle me, what pact is made Desire is your masquerade Want me you never will You gave me truth I chose illusion Now we are used to this confusion But I know Yes I know This story has to end Never groped for a connection Never hoped for more affection For I know I know I am your friend Only your friend...
