Anouk - One Word



I close my eyes

And imagine you're here

Did it all seem so hopeless

Given the chance

I would ask

Forgive me

for I didn't do a thing

to make you stay

And I didn't say a word

to make you stay



If I could have known

Could I have tried to make it easier

I couln't do a thing

Or say a word

One word



And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone

No beautiful goodbye

You will never leave my mind

And it turns out to be

so much different than our dreams

Now you're, you're a star in heaven



My thoughts unsaid

Stuck in my head

And it all feels so useless

Never forget to give all I have

Forgive me

For I couldn't do a thing,to make you stay

And I couldn't say a word, to make you stay



If I could have known

could I have tried to make it easier

But I couldn't do a thing

Or say a word

One word



And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone

No beautiful goodbye

You will never leave my mind

And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams

Now you're, yeah you're a star in heaven



Still I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone

No beautiful goodbye

You will never leave my mind

And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams

And now you're, you're a star in heaven

you're a star in heaven now

you're a star in heaven

yeah you're my star

Lay down

Your sweet and weary head

The night is falling

You have come to journey's end

Sleep now

And dream of the ones who came before

They are calling

From across the distant shore



Why do you weep?

What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will see

All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms

You're only sleeping



What can you see

On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea

A pale moon rises

The ships have come to carry you home



And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

All Souls pass



Hope fades

Into the world of night

Through shadows falling

Out of memory and time

Don't say

We have come now to the end

White shores are calling

You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms

Just sleeping



Chorus



And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

Grey ships pass

Into the West



Annie Lennox - Into the west



Beetje morbide misschien maar dit nummer wil ik op mijn begrafenis. Ooit, over een jaar of 50.

Pffft. Wat staan hier toch mooie dingen geschreven.
