Gileah, The Golden Planes Lyrics
The Golden Planes
I had just hoped, it was just hope
I didn’t say you had to change your life for me, baby
And when you called I wasn’t there
I didn’t know you needed me at all or desperately
Oh the trains the golden planes
I always take the finest roads when I need to escape
No farewells no goodbyes
No kisses on the cheek for you, my sleeping friends
You know who I got this from
The gypsy did the same to me as I to you
Oh the trains the golden planes
I always take the finest roads when I need …
Oh the joke is always on me
I leave, I always leave
It is just what I do
Comfortable
I’m driving home tonight
I want to know what’s on your mind why don’t you tell me, boy
I won’t think you are stupid or ridiculous, I want you to know
That what concerns you concerns me
I wish we could move past all this
I wish you would feel comfortable and talk to me
I’m singing soft tonight, I caught that little sigh
Don’t lie, I know there’s something wrong
Just tell me, dear
Be The One
Come on and be the one
I know you are you are you are
You’re lighting up the night like a star a star a star
Like a sparkler in July
Like the holiday lights
The warmth is coming from you like the sun the sun the sun
You know I’m really hoping you’re the one the one the one
Oh love
I’ve got my fingers crossed
Come on and be the one
You know you want to pretty thing
The hands I love to watch
The face that makes me sing me sing me sing
Oh love
I’ve got my fingers crossed
So can we be together you and me and me and you
Oh, let it be forever love me honeydew, I do
Oh, love
I’ve got my fingers crossed
Wrap Your Arms Around Me
If there weren’t days and days of rain
If you would smile
If I could make all of this go away, just for awhile
Nothing takes my mind from it
Nothing takes my mind from it
Can’t go to the beach and I won’t go downtown
I don’t want to read, turn the radio down
Down down down
They’re all singing songs about love
And I can’t quite put my finger on it
They’re all singing songs about love
And I can’t quite wrap my arms around it
Wrap your arms around me baby
You know it feels so good when I am so tired
Medicine
Maybe I don’t need you like I – I thought I did
Well, there’s something in the weather and it’s creeping in my skin
I am hot and cold by turns
My fever’s burning bright
My heart is filled with blackness but I’m still chasing light
Oh, I don’t know why I let you go
My fever stopped at cold
And then you left
With all my medicine
No doctor in the world could heal me now
Maybe I don’t need you like I thought I did
And all the stories of my girlhood were just that- good fiction
Well, I am hot and cold by turns
My fever’s burning down
I am sad of being tired, I’m sick of all this turning ‘round
White Florida Sun
Grey hats, red drinks
I know I’m clearly on the brink
Or on the ledge for which is which
I don’t know anymore, I don’t know anymore
Well, it’s a Vegas kind of night
Slide the coin into the slot
I don’t know where you are, but I know where you are not
Losing is in the air and it’s rubbing off on me
I’ve been trying to look cool, but I’m sure I look naïve
It’s hard to look cool when you’re choking on your drink
White Florida sun, Mexican sea, well,
They’re calling out to me
Sand like the snow, bodies of gold, well,
I’m leaving Losing St.
But I’ve got to let you know before I leave here
I placed every bet I had on you loving me, dear
Now I lost it all and was it just in vain
Oh, you know the house has won again
(I lost it all)
Say You Love Me Still
If this month is the darkest yet
And all we know is caving in
The mountains are but sand dunes here
And who I was has disappeared
I want this to be neverland
I want just to be loved again
I want just to be loved by you
What do we do now
The sharks are circling
What do we do now
Vultures are circling
Overhead…hold my hand
This will be our darkest trial
‘Soon be over’ on our lips
There is not enough of hate
To take what we have known away
All I knew was love from you
All my hope wrapped up in you
I want just to be loved by you
Say you love me still
The world could fall
Say you love me still
Just
I won’t be rid of my headache or my sadness today, will I
Ever be rid of my backache? Everyday stress of the working life
Just let me sit
Just let me rest my weary eyes
Unclench my fists
Just let me calm my body down
Just let me sleep here near the ground
And let me hope, just for tonight
That tomorrow everything’s going to be all right
Take me to a new place, love
Sing to me a new song, baby
Fly me to the moon, my angel
C’mon C’mon
These are good lines
I’ve got all the time in the world
To make you realize
C’mon, c’mon, pretty sweet
When the sun hits the front porch
Yellow stars light on your lids
Are you looking for honesty?
Well, c’mon, c’mon
But don’t ask me
Are you looking for honesty?
Or are you hoping for sympathy?
Well, it’s a strange thing- the consequence, the punishment,
The little white lies, the look in your eyes
The simplest things are so hard to get
And I think you’ll regret this
These are hard times
Bleeding between the lines
If you’re looking for anything
Well, c’mon, c’mon pretty sweet
For Things Beyond
For things beyond I know they are I do not need to see
For thing inside the treasures hid the secrets that I keep
For things behind the bridges burned and those I wish I’d saved
For things above a thousand tongues the angels and the saints
The chaos of love
The fury of life
(The sameness of death
the beauty of truth
the glory of God…)
