I am not desperate, I am not crazy
I am not lost
I am in love with you
My chest is aching, that’s only natural
That is the cost
I am in love with you

I can remember your mouth on mine
And I still feel the fire rising through me
That I remember is like a curse
‘Cause tonight I’m all alone, tonight I’m all alone

I don’t depend on you, I do not need you
I am alright
I’m just in love with you
So much for eating, so much for sleeping
Well, not tonight
I am in love with you

I can remember your mouth on mine
And I still feel the fire rising through me
That I remember is like a curse
‘Cause tonight I’m all alone, tonight I’m all alone

And I am desperate,
And I am crazy
And I am lost
I am in love with you

The last time I saw peter there was no time for good-byes
I had never told him, though I never told him lies
He kissed me on the cheek, a gentle kiss and told me
To take care of himself -for him, if not for me

Peter was older and he knew me well
He had a bitter sad side I felt for
He was flying off to France, had had enough of school
I knew my circumstance would take me somewhere soon

I came back from the east my head was turned all around
I was reaching out for friends
But they were nowhere to be found

I wrote Peter a letter in an embarrassed kind of tone
Wondering just what he thought, and wishing he were home
I guess he never got it, but almost every day
I drive by his old house though it’s the longer way

I walked on the beach this morning in the fog all alone
I erased the seabird’s tracks with footprints of my own

I was searching for the feeling of an old but cherished friend
When a pine cone washed ashore, a foreigner on the sand-
It is God’s and it is lovely, and if I knew where you were now
It would give it to you Peter,
It is yours then anyhow

I feel a little bit high, Maybe a little bit flushed
I might catch me smiling to myself
But not too much

I saw you today. I’ll see you again
Cause wherever I go
I see your face
Here in my mind and that’s enough

I’m a little in love
Just a little in love
I’m a little in love
Sha-la-la-la-la-love!

I don’t know what to say, I don’t know who to tell
I’m feeling dizzy,
Warm and silly-
I’m doing quite well

I keep hearing a song, or is it something you said?
And I wonder what will happen-
But I’m happy in my head! (Chorus)

I’ve got five senses working overtime
They all are telling me one thing (Chorus)

I can’t concentrate well. I got a faraway glaze
I don’t have a fever, I haven’t gone mad
I’m in a dumbstruck giddy daze (Chorus)

Fall and somehow completely miss the ground
That is the only way to fly!

I’m a little in love
Just a little in love
I’m a little in love
Sha-la-la-la-la-love!
Oh no.

“One crow for sorrow”, the legend goes
You know the future when you count the crows
I’ve seen the signs flying in the skies
I feel the tears burning in my eyes

“One crow for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
And five for the happiest thing on earth”

Today I woke up, today was too late
One crow for sorrow was at my gate
He brought a message though he didn’t sing
Just looked right through me and took to the wing

“One crow for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
And five for the happiest thing on earth”

“One crow for sorrow”, the legend goes
They tell the tales of counting the crows
I’ve seen the signs flying in the skies
I see the signs but I hide my eyes
I’ve seen too, too much sorrow, too little mirth
I’ve lived through a wedding, I’ve given birth
But I’m still waiting to see five crows fly
Maybe you’ll see them the day that I die

“One crow for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
And five for the happiest thing on earth”

Out there, there is someone crying calling out for help
Out there, there’s a person very much like me myself
Out there is a hungry child that could’ve been my own
Out there is a man without a job, without a home

In here- I can hear their voices scream across the globe
I have a conscience that will not leave them alone- out there

Out there are conditions that they cannot change by will
Out there isn’t far away, but we ignore it still

In here you and I can try to take away the pain
Someone may not have to live through times like this again
I know that things don’t have to be the way they’ve been
We can speak out, and reach out -And go out of our way to give
Till we’ve started to learn how to live in here

Out there is a woman being told again to wait
Out there, there is another who’s discovered it’s too late
Out there, there is someone crying, calling out for help
Out there… it’s a person very much like me myself

I am a color you’ve never seen
I am a color that colors only dreams…

My eyes are purple, and lilac to the sky
My hands are open, and I finally ask “Why”
Around my shoulders, is a shawl of silk and pearl
Across the water, I am daddy’s little girl
Around my finger, is a wish that I once made
Above my head floats, a prayer I once prayed …

La, la, la…

And I am washing, all the river in this Thought
And I am leaving, the rest all up to God
And as I hover, with each step upon the lake
My hands are open, to see how much I can take

I left the shoreline, and I wandered out to sea
Beyond the breakers, is another one of me
And I am happy, as our fingers barely touch
I need you near me, I may never know how much…

La, La, La …

My eyes are purple, and lilac looks at God
My hands are open,
Now is that so – odd?
My eyes are purple

I… if it had taken all my life
I would have come to realize
We are one, I am not here alone
They have always been here by my side,
And like the rising of the tide
There’s a flow and our union will grow

And you… you can stay right here by my side
And say you won’t believe
But you… you cannot look me in the eyes
And say you don’t believe

They are present everywhere you go,
Reaching out across the globe
Points of light, growing strong, growing brighter
We are a conspiracy of souls, we’re moving towards a goal
Seen from space, we are one human race
We are one, a new life has begun

And you… though I wouldn’t try to change your mind
Saying you must believe
You… you’re wasting all this precious time –
If you would just believe…

We cannot ignore what we have seen,
And we’re in love with what can be-
There is growth and good reason for hope
And though there is so much we have to learn,
We’re getting wiser every turn
As we care for the life that we share (Chorus)

All I need’s a bit of shelter
All I need’s a place to hide
A place to rest till I feel better
Until the agony runs dry

When I recall the words you told me
Were like red hot burning coals
And now I’m all alone and empty
With just your mem’ry in my soul

Like the Shade in the Sahara
A little comfort’s hard to find
Like the sun over Sahara
You’re the one thing on my mind

You are beating down upon me
Like the burning desert sun
And I am lost in the Sahara
I have nowhere left to run

I cannot walk away from feelings
The dune just shifts beneath my feet
I can’t forget your smiling cruelty
And I cannot escape the heat

Like the Shade in the Sahara
A little comfort’s hard to find
Like the sun over Sahara
You’re the one thing on my mind
When I was young I held my mother
And when I’d dream then I could fly
I always hoped for when I’m older
And now the hope has passed me by

Every way I turn is pointless
Everything I touch is sand
Everywhere I keep on searching
For the hand that used to hold my hand

Trapped in a hall of mirrors
Everything I see’s myself
Every answer’s just another version of the problem
I can’t get on to something else

I don’t know what it is I’m looking for
But when I find it I’ll know
Don’t offer me more hype and explanations
If something’s real, then it’ll show

Show me love – the real thing
Show me something real – the real thing
Show me love
I’ll know it when I feel something real

Faith as solid as a rock
But my beliefs fall all around me
If you can’t fill the silence that I’m listening to
Don’t pretend, don’t talk down to me

I don’t know what it is I’m looking for
But when I find it I’ll know
Don’t offer me more hype and explanation
If something’s real it’s bound to show

Show me love – the real thing
Show me something real – the real thing
Show me love
I’ll know it when I feel something real

The Alchemist let me in
Mixed his potions and powder
When the explosions got louder
The lesson could now begin:

“What I have made are these –
Fifty-two cards of your destiny-
From all the elements in the galaxy,
And you get all of this for free!”

“This is the hand you’re dealt (For just this round)
This is the hand you’re dealt.”

“This is the hand you’re dealt:
Full of magic and perilous
Take a risk, make a game of it
This is the way of wealth

These are the cards we play
Made from Chaos itself imploded
As if all of the dice are loaded
That’s all I’m allowed to say.”

“These are the cards we play  (Each one is wild)
This is the hand you’re dealt.”

Every thing you’ve got – Right where you are
Is all you need…

Spreading the red and black
Heaven looks over your shoulder
So, when the wind blows colder
Remember Who has your back !

“This is the hand you’re dealt  (For just this round)
This is the hand you’re dealt.”
