Hallelujah lyrics - Azure Ray

(originally by Leonard Cohen)

Oh, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Nightfall lyrics - Azure Ray

Oh, the new year, it started with our friend
He met up with his end and we will miss him
And now his daughter, his little honeymoon
She'll have to live on memories and music
But memories, they come and they go
And even the good ones leave sorrow

So love me now and love me hard
'Cause there's something in this wind that's blowing through
I'm praying to God every night
That he doesn't let it take me away from you

This wind that's blowing through
This wind that's blowing through

I used to think that I knew what love was
Back when I was young, I was mistaken
And now I know exactly what it is
How can it be a gift when it will be taken?
So pull it close and hold it tight
Here it comes again, the nightfall

Oh, love me now and love me hard
'Cause there's something in this wind that's blowing through
I'm praying to God every night
That it's not coming for me or you

This wind that's blowing through
This wind that's blowing through
This wind that's blowing through

Silverlake lyrics - Azure Ray (feat. Sparklehorse)

Reaching for the one
Hold onto what you love
Like we used to
Like we used to

Laughing all night long
For the sake of the song
Like we used to
Like we used to

Just when we thought we had seen it all
Ganges lights and frozen waterfall
And every day we wanted more and more

Don't let life bring you down
Find you safe and sound
Like we used to
Like we used to

Do do do do
Do do do do
Like we used to
Like we used to

Just when we thought we had seen it all
Ganges lights and frozen waterfall
And every day we wanted more and more

Just when we thought we had seen it all
Ganges lights and frozen waterfall
And every day we wanted more and more

Like we used to
Like we used to
Like we used to

Turn Back Now lyrics - Ben Lee (feat. Azure Ray)

Heartbreak on a heartbreak
Snow falls on a snow
I put my arm around your Seventh Street
Are we going home?

Standing in your fire
Walking to your car
The stars are unaligned
How things come this far

But it's all right
And I won't back down
'Cause it's too late
To turn back now

Breaking every promise
Looking for evolution and belief
I brought the English language
To places language never should reach

But it's all right
And I won't slow down
'Cause it's too late
To turn back now

Heartbreak on a heartbreak
Snow falls on a snow
I put my arm around your Seventh Street
Are we going home?

Wake Up, Sleepyhead lyrics - Azure ray

Baby
Now I can tell you my secret
Don't turn around you might miss it
Graceful and proud like a sunset

Baby
I'm scared to let go if you're leaving
All that we see isn't bleeding
Hard to believe it was worth it

Baby
You took my heart I was sleeping
Now I don't know I was losing
I didn't make reminiscing

Wake up
Wake up
This is only a dream

Don't Leave My Mind lyrics - Azure Ray

We can make plans
I'll give all I can
You were my man
On the gold coast sand

You can go to New Orleans
Take the river front-line
But don't leave my mind

You can go each day takes you
Some place I can't find
But don't leave my mind

We can break plans
I'll keep all I can
You'll be my friend
And start over again

And you can go to New York City
Get a place on the east side
But don't leave my mind

And you can go where no one knows you
Where the winter is kind
But don't leave my mind

And you can go I can't find you
There's no space, there's no time
But don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind

Don't Leave My Mind lyrics - Azure Ray

We can make plans
I'll give all I can
You were my man
On the gold coast sand

You can go to New Orleans
Take the river front-line
But don't leave my mind

You can go each day takes you
Some place I can't find
But don't leave my mind

We can break plans
I'll keep all I can
You'll be my friend
And start over again

And you can go to New York City
Get a place on the east side
But don't leave my mind

And you can go where no one knows you
Where the winter is kind
But don't leave my mind

And you can go I can't find you
There's no space, there's no time
But don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind

In The Fog lyrics - Azure ray

When the hour is late
And all is lost to find
Nothing more can absolve
Can find its way out tonight

To find you

I see mist like ghosts
Over long these country roads
They part their ways for me
As I search for my love

For you
For you

Good love
I tell my song to find you
To find you
To find you
Find you

Larraine lyrics - Azure ray

It could have been a patch
Some say that it was cursed
You spent your whole life
Trying to wash away the dirt

They said that you were nothing
With the hands under your skirt
So you taught yourself a way
With a rag under your shirt

Oh Larraine

Your daddy loved you wrong
While you planted his gun
Your mother turned her face
Being princess of grace

Oh Larraine

They left you in the woods
To find your way back like a dog
You cried in the dark
While they drank beers on the lawn

Oh Larraine

The nightmares wouldn't stop
So you drink them to a haze
But when you cut the lines
They put you away

You had a little girl
Who had songs about your pain
An episode of grace
Now she's living in L.A.

Oh Larraine
Oh Larraine

Most of them I never knew
But that is just as well
Even as I cry for you
I know they're all in hell

Oh Larraine

Don't you know it was all for you, Larraine
Everything I did was for you, Larraine
‘Cause what they did to you they did to me

On And On Again lyrics - azure ray


There was wonder underneath the quilted sky
Did we stand too close to see the seams at night

Can we keep it light
Constant hands of time
Creeping in too soon

I counted thirty seven signs
It's probably just my mind
What it likes to do

Were they out there
Were they out there

And if I could give this a shot
Could you a safe to place our trust into

We were their dumbs of bad bad timing
All these reminders like the pink sun rising

Can we keep it light
Constant hands of time
Creeping in too soon

I counted thirty seven signs
It's probably just my mind
What it likes to do

Were they out there
Were they out there

And if I could give this a shot
Could you a safe to place our trust into

Cause I have been lied to
And I have been made a fool
And I would give this a shot
If you would too
If you would too

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

Make Your Heart lyrics - Azure ray

If I can make your heart
Feel always loved
I would give my whole world up
For you to feel always loved

If I can make your heart
Feel always joy
I would walk a thousand miles
For you to feel always joy

If I could make your heart
Feel always loved
I'd give my whole world up
For you to feel always loved

If I can make your heart

Silver Sorrow lyrics - Azure ray


Sea shining waves
Silver sorrow
Come tomorrow
I'll be out of here

It's easy as it came
It's tough to swallow
That it's gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone, gone

Feel the sting of time right to your heart
Every turn you try a brand new start
See the strangers and the strange way you share
Some of none they ever had

Crown me queen
In the valley of the fire
Soft desire
Drawing down the moon
Fool to complain
It won't get better
Till you surrender
All your main games

Feel the sting of time right to your heart
Every turn you try a brand new start
See the strangers and the strange way you share
When you do, you do the best that we can

Signs In The Leaves lyrics - Azure Ray

I'm a little worried
That I killed something inside of me
When I let you go

Days were dark with you in my mind
I thought it best to be free

And now the birds don't sing
And the trees don't speak
And I don't see signs in the leaves
Anymore

I'm a little worried
That I killed something inside of me
When I let you go

It's a stranger's eyes that won't meet mine.
There's nothing left there to divide

'Cause the birds don't sing
And the trees don't speak to me
And I don't see signs in the leaves
Anymore

I'm a little worried
I'm a little worried
That I killed something inside of me
When I let you go
When I let you go
When I let you go

Love And Permanence lyrics - Azure Ray

Oh I wanted love and permanence
You wanted the night
When the stars fell to their death

And now I'm in the city
Where the lights burn so bright
That I don't have to see them ever again
But I miss them

I know it breaks their hearts
Oh, just how far I had to go

From this place I came from
Darkness illuminated one
Our eyes missed a terrible love pass away
Assuring you things

So break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart again

Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart again

So that I might see

Shouldn't Have Loved lyrics - Azure Ray


Young girl by your side
She asks no questions
So you don't lie

How effortless it can be
She feels lucky
And you are free

Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you still
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
You that way, you that way

Now it's meant to use
Do they know you still come here
Day gives into night
And I'm guilty of wanting light

Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved me that way
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved me still
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved me that way
Me that way, me that way

Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you still
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
You that way, you that way
You that way

Dancing Ghosts lyrics - Azure Ray

This first winter
I can't pretend that I didn't know what you were
When you walked into my door

These hours that I stare into a lantern red
I hear the train at night give promises of light

Was I loved enough
To believe in us
Silhouettes
Dancing ghosts

As that goes through my mind
Falling far behind
I knew it would end this way
But I chose it anyway

Was I taken up
To your empty god
Your haunted voice
Singing ghost

If you think of me
Since spotting memory
Just don't, don't

Was I lost enough
To believe in us
Silhouettes dancing

Was I taken up
To your empty god
Your haunted voice
Singing

If you think of me
Since spotting memory
Silhouettes dancing
Silhouettes dancing
Ghosts

Walking In Circles lyrics - Azure Ray

Sinking eyes
Heavy spirit, your drifting mind
Weave the middle of the passing time
Hoping we would never show it

So these words from your mouth
I thought I was strong until my strength wore out
I was chasing this shadow's end
I didn't create it

It was long long long enough
I lost sight of what it's worth
It was long long long enough

Do you want to be named
In the end as a hunter or game
You're hurt or your hurt is the same
There's still part of me tired

And where have you been
Did you look did you take it all in
Are you walking in circles again
Like you lost the horizon

It was long long long enough
I was lost in a flash of light
It was long long long enough

The Devil's Feet lyrics - azure ray

When i was a child a story was told
About the devil and a girl oh so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
And lovers abound
But she lifted her soul
She lifted her soul clean oh clean
And like the story was told
On a dark country road
The same man appeared to me
But i reached
I reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
Now twenty years later to the place i return
Where i scorned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth i try not to believe
That i reached i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet

New Resolution lyrics - Azure Ray


Follow blind
Heavy eyes hold position
Right on time
It was a lucky prediction

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing

Don't undermine
My new resolution
Just to find
different light a new direction

Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing
Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

We Are Mice lyrics - Azure Ray

It's all in the eyes
The reckless way we dream to die
Our past is our future
The present lies
Somewhere between our hearts and minds
For those with no future
We'll touch hands on the street
Smile and keep moving on towards the heat
So keep this a secret our lot in life
They are elephants we are mice
We'll walk this earth somnambulant kin
With broken hearts that cannot mend
Losers first and second men
We'll do our best to blend in
You could reach out for my hand and i yours
Deliver water to soothe the burn
We'll drink our tears and thirst for more
It's our lot in life
They are elephants we are mice
So keep this a secret
Keep this a secret
We are mice

Look To Me lyrics - Azure Ray

Lay your head
In my lap
Let the sound of my laugh
Comfort you now, here in the cold

Your face gets wet
As the drink slips from my hand
And the faster I drive, the harder I cry,
"Don't worry I'll get us there."

And I look down at you,
You look up at me
We're a real fucked up family

We make it home
This place is a mess
The smell of cologne
Mixed with all that we own
Not much, I must confess

And I hold your hand
As you slip from me
As I watch your breath
I say to myself, "One day this will all end."

And I look at you
You look at me
We're a real fucked up family

All night I feel it inside

But I know you're right
As I begin to pack
Without raising your eyes, I hear you sigh
Oh, you'll be back

Because I look to you
And you look to me
We're a real fucked up family

The Drinks We Drank Last Night lyrics - Azure Ray


Riding on these waves,
holding on to what you say,
"Everything will be okay,
it will work out one way."

But I've drifted way too far,
my arms, my legs, have grown too tired.
And could you be inspired?
No, I'm just tired.

And on a swing you push me hard,
so I'll come back to where you are.
And you know I'm never far.
No decisions, nothing hard.

And I knew that it would rain tonight,
I'll take the bus or the next flight.
I won't give up on what feels right.

If you see these tears filling my eyes,
it's just the wind that makes me cry.
If you could feel this pain inside,
it's from the drinks we drank last night.
It's from the drinks we drank last night.

And the shadow of our past,
projects on clouds of dust and gas.
Wounds where my eyes will rest,
the silhouette of loneliness.

If you see these tears filling my eyes,
it's just the wind that makes me cry.
If you could feel this pain inside,
it's from the drinks we drank last night.
It's from the drinks we drank last night.

Across The Ocean lyrics - Azure Ray

Now I've traveled across the ocean
with the same shoes just longer hair
still carry that picture in my wallet
from the photo booth
yeah it's still there

just give me some kind of sign
is this the right place or the right time?
is this the right time?

now I've landed in the midwest
where you lived so long ago
remember I was always freezing
and now I'm covered up in snow

just give me some kind of sign
is this the right place or the right time?
is this the right time?

If You Fall lyrics - Azure ray

Let's talk and we'll fill the air
The imagery that lasts forever
So this is love and that's a lovely thought
You have to care for it to keep it together

And if you fall, will you get up
Stuck in a dream, will you wake up
And if you've found love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold, will you stay warm
Drift too far, will you swim towards the shore
And if you've found love will you hold on to it

Let's just sing and we'll fill the air
The melodies that blend together
I speak so sweet of words so delicate
Like the glass I hope will never shatter

And if you fall, will you get up
Stuck in a dream, will you wake up
And if you've found love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold, will you stay warm
Drift too far, will you swim towards the shore
And if you've found love will you hold on to it

Sea Of Doubts lyrics - Azure Ray

I told them all the ones I love
I'm leaving and I may not return
See lately I've been overcome
A feeling I fear has just begun
The pain I feel deep inside
That haunts us all that we will die
Never really knowing how it feels
To be alive
Through mountains and over seas
Through misery and disease
A spectator I played my part
But nothing could move this heart
Until i held the boys hand
The little one spoke like a man
He showed me death and said
This is how you know you're alive
A kingfisher in flight
You'll rise above the sea of doubts
Into a world full of clouds (Yea)
Alive

Dragonfly lyrics - Azure ray


Immovable tower come crashing down
An uncertain hour in this little town
Will you step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
You could spend your whole life putting blocks back in place
With each trebling hand covering up the face
That seeks high places
Greedy dragonfly
So show a new man your old smile
Indomitable portrait that hangs in your mind
Waiting to be unveiled in your darkest time
So step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
Let a new man have your old heart

Nothing Like A Song lyrics - Azure Ray


You didn't say the words i would have said
You couldn't help the doubt that filled your head
It's just an ordinary try
We learn to live we live to die
Just accept and don't ask why
My lips they form a crooked smile
Giving a sign of no reply
And when you wake up freezing in a room dark and empty
Well, just keep singing along
I'm not what you write in your books and no I'm nothing like a song
And will you answer me I, already know
I asked you to answer me but, I already know
And can you come back home, you already know
You don't ask cause you already know

It's an unfamiliar song
You said you'd like to sing along
But you couldn't change the key
I can't sing it doesn't suit me
And when I wake up freezing now half believing
It was this I feared
Cause its not just the words that you whisper in my ear
And will you answer me I already know
I asked you an answer, but I already know
And can you come back home, you already know
You don't ask cause you already know
And will you come back home?

These White Lights Will Bend To Make Blue lyrics - Azure

Drive away
Just get on the interstate
And slip through this closing gate
Pulled into this cheap hotel
I called just to wish you well
You said don't let love break you down
Well just show me how and let me never be broken
Tomorrow a new point of view
These white lights will bend to make blue
Now this can all look new to you
Are you still living there
Walking the streets with your hollow stare
You say there's loneliness everywhere
So we have nothing to loose
The music plays all day long
And sorrow looks beautiful
And lovers seem mystical
Tomorrow a new point of view
These bright lights will bend to make blue
Now this can all look new to you

Hold On Love lyrics - azure ray

Hold on love
Even when i cry all night
Even when i say i don't love you
Just hold on love
So my head gets a little cloudy
And the drink goes straight to my heart
The the words come like a runaway train
In the dark
Just hold on love
Even when i scream and fight
Even when i swear i don't love you
Just hold on tight
And when the darkness falls over
Like a storm cloud in my head
Something inside says it's easier
To push you away but stay and
Hold on love
Even when i cry all night
Even when i swear i don't love you
Just hold on love
Just hold on love
Just hold on love

Favorite Cities lyrics - Azure Ray

So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
We'll just stay tucked in the shade and our eyes they can't be blinded
We'll just stay tucked in the shade
So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And the sky on such a memorable night
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
That's a lie, that's a lie...

The New Year lyrics - Azure Ray

We pried open my window
And let the summer rush in
And we laughed with the new air
Now I lay and watch the green leaves
Dance and whisper sweet breath
A promise of a new year

Ooooh
On this day
Ooooh
On this day
We were born into the new year

And after the winter broke
We held hands and we ran
And we agreed that it had been a long one

Ooooh
On this day
Ooooh
On this day
We were born into the new year

Seven Days lyrics - Azure Ray

Seven Days of low worth
Keep me hovering above the ground
The nights just blend into the morning
Definition is the first to go down

If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I'm bound
So I can't stay in between us
Guess I'll walk away

I'm here to read the future
But forced to breathe out the past
And too many conversations
To uncover what was purposefully lost

I know we all look so desperate
Showing the guidance that we lack
And we used to be so wistful
I guess we feel it's safer holding back

If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I'm bound
So I can't stay in between us
Guess I'll walk away

Home lyrics - Azure Ray

Just an hour and we'll be home
With my family that i chose
You're my family
And on the pavement still gripping the phone
You came and wrapped your arms around my soul
And we were shaking and you're so much a part of me
And so this is why I'm here
When we called you
You came so fast
And sat beside me while hours and days past
I'll always thank you for that
And there you were
With your heart made of gold
So strong, the only thing holding us up
And we knew you would always be so close
And so this is why I'm here
And then there was you
You always made us laugh
And you would help us to find the right path
And there is no one as full of life
And so this is why I'm here

How You Remember lyrics - Azure Ray

And you tread on the water,
when you know you can touch the bottom now.
It's the southern way, said your mother,
"Stay in shallow, shallow water, don't touch the ground."

But then a slithering, sliding form,
catches you before you reach the shore.
And as he strikes full of venom, you reach out towards the trouble.
You've got him now, but how.

And you thrust him to the sky.
Arms raised high you make a Y.
There is no fear, there is no pain inside,
as you twist and ride.

This is how you remember yourself;
This is how you remember yourself.
Arms raised high, needing no help,
this is how you remember yourself.

And you know you can't keep this steady goes,
must release him somehow.
As you loosen your hold, find you felt it is all over now,
his body lifeless and cold, you throw him down.

And you raise your arms up to the sky
Raised high you make a Y.
There is no fear, there is no pain inside,
as the sun still shines, on these drying eyes.

This is how you remember yourself.
This is how you remember yourself.
Arms raised to heaven, needing no help,
this is how you remember yourself.

Oooo [x3]

This is how you remember yourself. [x8]

Trees Keep Growing lyrics - Azure Ray


I never expected you to love me the way I loved you
I never expected you to love me the way I loved you
To have you near was all I wanted to just to have you near
It's funny how you can forget there's a world outside yourself
Or the trees keep growing and the cars keep moving without you there
It's funny how you can forget how there's a world outside yourself
Or the one who loves you keeps on living without you there
I never expected you to love me the way I love you

A Thousand Years lyrics - Azure ray

I'm saving all I'm not giving
But it's overflowing evaporating in the air
As I'm walking and no I'm not breathing
I'm not breathing only air
Cuz it's filled with words once spoken
By people everywhere
And I can hear all the whispers
That have lived a thousand years
It just took me being open
For them to reach my eager ears
Now they've reached my eager ears
And I hope I'll be ready when my life
When my life divides
When my life divides

While I'm Still Young lyrics - Azure Ray

With the brushing of our shoulders
I lived a life with you
We had a son or daughter who had my eyes
And your laughter echoed after you
All of this in a brief stare
A fleeting glimpse of happiness shared
That made our bodies burn and shiver
As we passed each other unaware
I am not to think of your face, of your name
For when i do, you are there
Lying next to another
I can only wonder
Lesse mon cour vous abondonne
Depuis je suis encore jeune

Your Weak Hands lyrics - Azure Ray

You held my hand
Led me to the water
You pushed me in
I went under
They were your firm hands
That made me falter
You held my hand
Led me to the altar
You wept for me
Lord, absolve her
They were your weak hands
That made me stronger
You held my hand
Led me homeward
I looked for you
You were nowhere
Holding tight my hand
Was my own

We Exchanged Words lyrics - Azure Ray

We exchanged words
through smoke-filled mouths.
and then we found our bodies
speaking loud
and our hearts rest against the flesh
trading stories of loves
pain, doubt, and rivaling insecurities
when did we learn to speak without works
and in tongues
maybe we should just stop here

Raining In Athens lyrics - Azure Ray

Still, I think of you baby
And how I grew old with you then
In the summer
You'll go maybe
And act as if we were old friends
You'd say, "How are you, baby?"
I'd say, "It's raining in Athens"
It's raining in Athens
And to this day I miss the fever
That spoiled my poor heart
And I've mastered
The art of dealing
Slipping away
Without falling apart
So in the summer
You'll call maybe
And ask how I've been
I can be honest
And answer plainly
"Since November it's been raining."
It's raining in Athens

Rest Your Eyes lyrics - Azure Ray


You said to write you a song
so here this is for you
so as you toss through those lonely nights
just know there's someone thinking of you
everyone's waiting for the timing to be right
and we hope it's coming soon
so just rest your eyes and we'll be in love again

oooo ooooo oooo oo

we talked and the moon was bright
your words were glowing as they drifted out of sight
and now the change of season sets in
nothing nothing feels just right
we fear these nights and then we compromise
and the morning always comes
so just rest your eyes and we'll be in love

oooooo oooooo ooooo ooooo

so just rest your eyes and then we'll be in love
just rest your eyes and then we'll be in love again

November lyrics - Azure Ray


So I'm waiting for this test to end,
so these lighter days can soon begin;
I'll be alone, but maybe more carefree,
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly;

I was afraid to be alone,
but now I'm scared that's how I like to be;
All these faces run the same,
how can there be so many personalities?

So many lifeless, empty hands,
so many hearts in great demand;
and now my sorrow seems so far away,
until I'm taken by these bolts of pain;

But I turn them off, and tuck them away,
until those rainy days that make them stay;
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs,
and the words still ring, once here, now gone;

And they echo through my head everyday,
and I don't think they'll ever go away;
Just like thinking of your childhood home,
but we can't go back, we're on our own;

Ohh...

But I'm about to give this one more shot,
And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;

So we're speeding towards that time of year,
to the day that marks that you're not here;
And I think I'll want to be alone,
so please understand that I don't answer the phone;

I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls,
until I can see nothing at all;
Only particles, some fast, some slow,
all my eyes can see is all I know;

Ohh...

But I'm about to give this one more shot,
And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;

For The Sake Of The Song lyrics - Azure Ray

(originally by Townes Van Zandt)

Why does she sing these sad songs for me, I'm not the one
To tenderly bring her soft sympathy I've just begun
To see my way clear it's plain, if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and that's all.

What does she want me to do?
She says that she that knows moments are rare
I suppose that it's true
And on she goes to say I don't care when she knows that I do.

Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.

She'd like to think I was cruel,
She knows that's a lie for I would be
No more than a tool
If I allowed her to cry all over me.

Oh my sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans
If she could see how I feel then I know she'd understand

Does she actually think I'm to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine could relieve all her pain?
Can't she see that she grieves just because she's been blindly deceived
By her shame?

Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.

I know nothings what it seems, maybe one day she'll start to realize
That if she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies
When will she see that the gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains, and I got to refuse.

But it's only to herself that she's lied
She likes to pretend it's something that she should defend, with her pride
And I don't intend to stand here and be the friend from whom she must hide.

Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.
Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

No Signs Of Pain lyrics - Azure Ray

Standing in front of you
they fade into the wall
and leave behind nothing
nothing at all

I know I don't understand how they forget
how some will just pass us by
and take what they can get
I know I don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling
without feeling
without feeling

grasping with my fingernails
as they tear through your skin
leaving no signs of pain
no wounds to mend

I know I don't understand how they forget
how some will just pass us by
and take what they can get
I know I don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling
without feeling
without feeling

I know I don't understand how they forget
how some will just pass us by
and take what they can get
I know I don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling

Just A Faint Line lyrics - Azure Ray

I called you on the phone
I said I was confused and in a daze
You said this uncertainty one day I would crave
So I wrote down exactly how I wanna live
And now it's a promise I'll never give
And it's a faint line I trace to recreate
The semblance of love of some stability
And it's a faint line I trace to recreate
A semblance of love of some stability
It's just a faint line I trace to recreate
A semblance of love of some stability
It's just a faint line I trace to recreate
A semblance of love of some stability
It's just a faint line I trace to recreate

I Will Do These Things lyrics - Azure Ray

I will take your childhood dreams
And turn them into to beautiful film
I will take your most important things
Cast them gold fill a museum

So your heart doesn't know where mine's been
I'll never let your heart go where mine's been

I will kiss away every tear
They'll disappear in my mouth
And I will believe in all your fears
You let them in, I'll let them out
And put them in their place, my love

So your heart doesn't know where mine's been
I'll never let your heart go where mine's been

I'll never let your heart go where mine's been

Other Than This World lyrics - Azure Ray

Something's wrong you say
I looked into those eyes a hundred times a day
those deep blue wells so vague
elusive as christ until the day
the secrets spilled into my room
down the phone line into view
I've waited all my life to know

why our light is gone
our white light that's home
maybe love and peace are waiting for us
somewhere other than this world
at least we pray

Lalalaa [etc.]

I'll write you and in my dreams
I'll lay on your chest to muffle your screams
and all the love I see I'll hold it close to me
in hopes that one day our secrets will be free

but now our light is gone
our white light that's home
maybe love and peace are waiting for us
somewhere other than this world
so we pray

Lalalaa [etc.]

Sleep lyrics - Azure Ray



Fill these spaces up with days
In my room
You can go, you can stay

But I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

Now these years locked in my drawer
I'll open to see
just to be sure

But I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes
to shift my point of view
I'm watching through my own light
as it tints the shade of you

Hold my wine, hold it in
Nobody's lost
but nobody wins

And I can't sleep
I can't speak to you
I can't sleep

And so I'm reaching out for the one
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
And all this like a message comes
to shift my point of view
I'm watching through my own light
as it tints the shade of you

I can't sleep
I can't speak to you...

Displaced lyrics - Azure Ray

It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I'll know that nothing
nothing survives
nothing survives

I think I'm turned around
I'm looking up not looking down
and when I'm standing still
watching you run
watching you fall, fall into me

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase

I am displaced, I am displaced

And shes my friend of all friends
shes still here when everyone's gone
she doesn't have to say a thing
we'll just keep laughing
all night long, all night long

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase

I am displaced, I am displaced

It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I know that no one
no one survives, no one survives

Don't Make A Sound lyrics - Azure Ray

You could go anywhere anytime and find someone
but how will you know if he's kind
the sun is out but happiness
only reminds you of the people you hurt
mistakes that you made when you were down
and where are you now
you're sweeping up these sorry streets
and i knew somehow when you looked up and over me
that you could look up these words
but you still won't understand
they mean nothing to you
so write them in the sand
and watch the water wash them away

you could sit on your front porch
and watch the wasps dive down
you could go out every night
and force cheap beer down
you could go all day
and not make a sound

Another Week lyrics - Azure Ray

I wake up each morning
Go to work at eight
Come home for dinner
Time to celebrate
So I round up my friends
We made it through another week
We may not have much
But we've got what we need
So we go all night
Until I see his face
Then the party's over
This drink has no taste
He makes me lonely
When he comes around
I tried for years to beat this one down
I've got all my friends
Couldn't ask for more
But he makes me lonely

Rise lyrics - Azure Ray



Today I'll crawl out of bed
I can't stand your shadow is to heavy to lift
Maybe we'll go for a ride
You said you'd take me nowhere
I said that suits me just fine
I know you've always been near
Whispering secrets
I know I'm not supposed to hear
Hold your heart with two hands
Give it to me
Only to disappear

And look how low I've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll lose you when I'm high
Hey, look how low I've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll only lose you when I'm
High...

All alone in the dark
Love survives
Only when we are apart
Your voice still stands in my ears
Soft explosions blossom
With the beat of my heart

And look how low I've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll lose you when I'm high
Hey, look how low I've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll only lose you when I'm
High.....
High.....

Hey look how low I've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I lost you when I was
High...

And look

4th Of July lyrics - Azure Ray

We met on that wednesday night
I was down but you were so bright
I remember that wednesday night so well
We played guitar all those afternoons
Heard records on the floor of your room
I knew that i would fall in love with you

When you told me my surprise
I looked and asked you why did you tell me now
We were sitting in the chair
You whispered in my ear
Let's go home now
I'm thinking of the 4th of july
Holding hands looking up at the sky
I remember the 4th of july so well

I know that you're always with me
I feel the strength you're giving me
I know this love will never die

Safe And Sound lyrics - Azure Ray



With every word I live again through the eyes of another
We'll meet at night, wet from the rain
and surprise each other with how we take away the pain
Could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
Love is how it's lost .. not how it's found

I don't know those eyes, but I see beauty there.. always
I know it's wrong to love you from afar, but it's a craze

You recognize my pain..
Could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
Love is how it's lost.. not how it's found
Love is how it's lost.. not how it's found

I'll take away your pain
Could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
Love is how it's lost .. not how it's found
Love is how it's lost .. not how it's found

Love is when I'm lost.. not when I'm found

Fever lyrics - Azure Ray

Fever I know you've come to take my love
Go away
Fever I know your face just like a dove
Fly away
Fever turn the lights out
Take a different road
Let us be
Fever I know you've come to take my love
Go away
Fever I know in god I shouldn't trust
He's so far away
Fever turn the lights out
Take a different road
Let us be
Fever take a different route
Travel a different road
Let us be
Fever I know you've come to take my love
Go away fly away go away

For No One lyrics - Azure Ray

We're the same
We're five years old.
Still trying to change this mold
In the open
Air I'm cold
No purpose
No reasons told.
And while I'm waiting
for something to say
I'm here in vain.
I picked up
this broken key
I love no one
and that no one loved me
I wait for morning
before open eyes
no one is crying
not yet realize
and in meantime
I have nothing to say
I'm here in vain.
I wait for morning
before opened eyes
no one is crying
not yet realize
and in the meantime
I have nothing to say
I'm here in vain.

How Will You Survive lyrics - Azure Ray

And the angels had watched over you
As you crossed over the bridge
And your mother how she wept for you
On the day you turned your heart
And when your blood is gone how will you survive
And your dreams they don't stay in your mind
They are hiding in the night
And you think that this will be alright
Because the lord he was here at one time
But when your blood is gone
How will you survive
