Hallelujah In The City lyrics - Joan Osborne
I have been unfaithful
I have been untrue
Now I found the road that
Brought me back to you
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
In this crowded city
I was so alone
Stranger to my own eyes
Heart without a home
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
On the Riverside Drive
On the red of night
In the churches of Brooklyn
Underneath the Chelsea lights
Up in Battery Park
And in Morningsight Heights
Hallelujah
Suns are in the sky now
Suns are in my veins
Throw me in the fire now
Love is what remains
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Ooh...
Sweeter Than The Rest lyrics - Joan Osborne
Flood tide below me
With the sun in my eyes
And I reach for the feeling
That the world is my prize
And I'm crossing Brooklyn ferry
With the clouds to my West
And I know why I missed it
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Than the rest
Well you climb in my window
And you painted it gold
It was stone recognition
It was truth being told
And we burn down the Winter
With the fire we possess
And I wish you could know this
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Than the rest
And I wish you well
And I wish you well
And I wish you well
Oh I wish you well
Oh I wish you well
And I wish you well...
Well well well
Sometimes I wonder
If it's time to go home
But this dream I've been dreaming
Will not leave me alone
I can go where I want to
And I'm doing my best
But I know what I'm losing
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Than the rest
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Than the rest
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Than the rest
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Some are sweet, but you were sweeter
Than the rest
Cathedrals lyrics - Joan Osborne
In the shadows of tall buildings
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
Across the borders between continents
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the shadows of tall buildings
The architecture is slowly peeling
Marble statues and glass dividers
Someone is watching all of the outsiders
The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
Past the mosaic of the head of state
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the shadows of tall buildings
Of open arches endlessly kneeling
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
Someone is listening from a safe distance
The line moves slowly into a fading light
A final moment in the dead of night
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
Oohh...
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
Little Wild One lyrics - Joan Osborne
Let's keep it simple, just for fun
Don't speak of this to anyone
I've seen the way you look in my eyes
I know that you're ready to fly
I put my cards out on the table
You know I'm willing, I know you're able
Stars are out, the night is young
Little wild one
I need you like the air that I breathe
I need you like the sky and the trees
I need you like you wouldn't believe
I need you like the sun
Little wild one
I've thrown away all my defenses
No way of knowing what the end is
I'll make it simple, I'll take it slow
It's there if you're ready to go
If you are hurting I wanna heal it
I'll be your heaven, oh can't you feel it
The fire's burning, the time has come
Little wild one
I need you like the air that I breathe
I need you like the sky and the trees
I need you like you wouldn't believe
I need you like the sun
Little wild one
I need you like the heavens above
I need you like the one that I love
For all you are and all you'll become
I love you like the sun
Little wild one
Little wild one
Rodeo lyrics - Joan Osborne
Call me home, call me home
Baby when you coming home
I can't stand it so alone
Rodeo
They all say they're proud of you
Though you're still the boy I knew
What has fighting done to you
Rodeo
I been dreaming boy since you been gone
'Bout a cowboy risin' with the dawn
It's just a dream but it keeps me hangin' on
Oh rodeo, you been gone too long
A-hee
Yippee-a-yay, yippee-a-yo
A-hee
Yippee-a-yay, yippee-a-yo
Up all night, I'll be here
Dancin' with my darkest fear
Whisperin' your home is here
Rodeo
Call me home, call me home
Baby when you coming home
I can't stand it so alone
Rodeo
I been dreaming boy since you been gone
'Bout a soldier risin' with the dawn
It's just a dream but it keeps me hangin' on
Oh rodeo, you been gone too long
A-hee
Yippee-a-yay, yippee-a-yo
A-hee
Yippee-a-yay, yippee-a-yo
Hee...
Rodeo
Oh rodeo
Oh...
Call me home
When you coming home
You can call me home
Oh rodeo
To The One I Love lyrics - Joan Osborne
To an honest man
I could give my body and my soul
With a practiced hand
You could lift me up and make me whole
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
And I smell the ocean in the dawn
And the bitter times have come and gone
In a gypsy cab
On the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise
We are going home
And the lust is flirting in your eyes
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
And I smell the ocean in the dawn
And the bitter times have come and gone
Have come and gone
Have come and gone
Have come and gone
Lalala...
In a hotel room
Up above the lights of Tompkins Square
While the music plays
I'm on my way to meet you there
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
And I'm back where I belong
And the bitter times have come and gone
Lalala...
Ooh...
To the one I love I give the key
And his eyes are stars that shine on me
Oh shine on me
Oh shine on me
Oh shine... on me
Oh shine on me
Oh shine on me
Shine on me
Oh shine on me
Daddy-O lyrics - Joan Osborne
Daddy-o, daddy-o when I close my eyes
There's a cyclone there and I want to rise
An electric train to a long lost world
To a land of a thousand dancing girls
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the world I left behind
To the Coney Island line
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Daddy tell me the tale that the captain told
When the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
We will all be safe, we will be there soon
We will all have fun when we reach the moon
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the moon I left behind
Down the Coney Island line
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Daddy-o, daddy-o, can you make me feel
Like the way I did on the Wonder Wheel
Can you love me now as you loved me then
Can you dream that parachute dream again
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the dream I left behind
Down the Coney Island line
Come to me, my daddy-o
Take me where I want to go
To the world I left behind
To the Coney Island line
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Oh daddy-o, daddy-o
Meet You In The Middle lyrics - Joan Osborne
Though we may fight
Most every night
I'll meet you in the middle some day
The heartaches thrive
But the love survives
I'll meet you in the middle some day
People are known to be reckless
To never let go of their pride
But honey I believe we've been careless
Cause the damage just can't be denied
Oh, before we start
We're miles apart
And there's a million reasons why
But I wake to find
You're still on my mind
It's stronger as the years go by
I'd like to sit down with you darlin'
Show you everything in my heart
But emotions run high when I see your face
I just don't know where to start
Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day
Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day
Mm, if all for this
Just one more kiss
I'd travel any distance to find
Your eyes of coal
Your secret soul
I swear that I could read your mind
Honey you can call me crazy
To think that our affection could last
But I see us throw it all together
After all the storms have passed
Oh, though we may fight
Most every night
I'll meet you in the middle some day
The heartaches thrive
But the love survives
I'll meet you in the middle some day
Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day
Oh, I'll meet you in the middle some day
Some day
Can't Say No lyrics - Joan Osborne
And if you say to me it's wrong, I know
But here we are and I refuse to go
I can't go on without the love we make
Your touch is all I need to cure this day
I can't say no, how hard I've tried
How long I've run to try and hide
How deep my love, so sweet tonight
I can't say no, any more
And if you say to me it's all a dream
And let me sleep so happily, it seems
Don't wake me up without the love we make
Your touch is all I need to cure this day
I can't say no, how hard I've tried
How long I've run to try and hide
How deep my love, so sweet tonight
I can't say no, any more
I can't say no, I can't say no
I can't say no, anymore
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
I can't say no, I can't say no
I can't say no, anymore
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
I can't say no, I can't say no
I can't say no, anymore
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
I can't say no, I can't say no
I can't say no, anymore
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
(can't say no, can't say no, can't say)
Light Of The World lyrics - Joan Osborne
Ooh...
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
sometimes I feel this earth is not my home
And everything I know is an illusion
So many dreams have been broken and it seems
So much time is wasted in confusion
But I don't know if pain makes me stronger
But if you're beside me tonight
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
Some that I love I will never see again
Never see again in this world
The one I was I will never be again
No use to pretend that I'm the same girl
But I won't wait for you to believe me
And if time will give me today
I won't wait for heaven to receive me
I will pray, I will say
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
Bury Me On The Battery lyrics - Joan Osborne
If I die in New York city
Bury me on the Battery
The pretty girls on Brooklyn ferry
Ask them all to weep for me
I'll be smiling brother
When they lay me down
Cause I lived my life
In New York town
Say it again
I'll be smiling brother
When they lay me down
Cause I lived my life
In New York town
And I'll be smiling brother
When they lay me down
Cause I lived my life
In New York town
I'll be smiling brother
When they lay me down
Cause I lived my life
In New York town
Because I lived my life
In New York town
I've Got To Use My Imagination lyrics - Joan Osborne
I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
Darkness all around me
Blackin’ out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin’ to anyone
Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know
Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood
Such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I don’t realize
I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
Ain't No Sunshine lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Bill Withers)
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he’s always gone too long anytime he goes away
Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Hey I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Midnight Train To Georgia lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Gladys Knight & The Pips)
L.A. proved too much for the man
So he's leavin' the life that he's come to know
He said he's goin' back to find
Ohhh what's left of his world
The world he left behind not so long ago
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back to find
A simpler place and time
I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
He kept dreamin'
Ohhh that someday he'd be a star,
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he used to know
Oh yes he did
Now now he's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
He said he's goin' back to find
A simpler place and time
I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
Ohhh I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
All aboard on a midnight train to Georgia
I gotta be with him on a midnight train to Georgia
On a midnight train said
I gotta be with him
Ohhh I gotta be with him on a midnight train to Georgia
I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go to a midnight train to Georgia
On a midnight train to Georgia
Baby Is A Butterfly lyrics - Joan Osborne
There's a mansion on the moon
Honey we will be there soon
Into ships our dreams are tossed
Hold my hand and let's get lost
Baby Is a Butterfly
Silken wings and eagle eye
Watch her running up the sky
Oh Baby…is a butterfly
Rivers never stop to rest
Sparrows know that they are blessed
(going forth into the night
Beckoned by the city lights)
Baby Is a Butterfly
See her swimming in the sky
Hurts me so to hear her cry
Oh baby…is a butterfly
Staying all day at the fair
Evening primrose in her hair
Everything's a miracle
Now my cup is always full
Baby Is a Butterfly
Silken skin and eagle eye
We'll be angels by and by
Baby…is a butterfly
[alt. Verse couplet]
Stars are hiding in the clouds
Branches gonna catch them now
Breakfast In Bed lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Baby Washington)
You've been cryin'
Your face is a mess
Come in baby
You can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again
I can tell
Oh, I know that look so well
Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes off, lie down
And I will lock the door
And no-one has to know
You've come here again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Come on over here
Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said
Ain't no need
What's your hurry?
Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait, my darling
It's been so long
Since I've had you here
You will come again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Hey child
Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said
Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said, yeah
You don't have to say you love me
[repeat and fade]
Cream Dream lyrics - Joan Osborne
You would make a mistake
If you think I'm not awake
I know what's goin' on
You've been lying to me
But I don't want to set you free
I know what's goin' on
I'm the one who makes you happy,
You got to know that for sure
(can't we give our love just one more try
Make it better than it was before)
Did you try to resist
Was she longing to be kissed
I know what's going on
Does she whisper does she sing
Does she say you're everything
I know what's going on
I will wait for this to end
Cause I know you'll need a friend
When at last she breaks your heart
Cause the only way to win
Is to get you back again
Until then I'll fall apart
I know what's going on
(You have changed who you are
I been watching from afar)
Natural High lyrics - Joan Osborne
Why do I keep my mind on you all the time
And I don't even know you
Why do I feel this way
Thinking about you every day
And I don't even know you
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high
(I want to take to the sky)
Loving you more 'till the day I die
(On the natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high
(I want you to be mine)
Loving you more.
If you have anything to do
Call me and I will do it for you
And I don't even know you
If I only had one wish to give
That wish would be for you to live forever and ever.
When I see you on the street
My heart skips a beat
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high
(I'll just take to the sky)
Loving you more till the day I die
(on a natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high
(Loving you more and I don't know you)
Loving you more
I'm gonna try to do
All the things you want me to
If you'll just give me a chance
I'm trying to make something out of a nothing romance
And I don't even know you
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'till the day I die
(To the sky)
I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'till the day I die
I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving loving you
I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'till the day I die
I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving loving you
La la la la la la...
Heart Of Stone lyrics - Joan Osborne
Leanin' against the window of a white hotel room
Lookin' down at Dallas, shining in the heat
Honey when you move it's graceful as a panther
Open up your lips and my heart skips a beat
You suffer so pretty like a ragged apostle
You burn oh so brightly like a soldering gun
And I gave my body and soul to relieve you
But now you have told me that I'm not the one
And if I'm not the one
Baby baby if I'm not the one
Ohhh who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone
I believed my love
Could take away your darkness
Was strong enough to fight all the demons in your dreams
Little did I know the weight would pull me under
Now I watch us both come apart at the seams
And if I'm not the one
Ohhh baby baby if I'm not the one
Ohhh who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone
Your heart of stone
Ohhh who's gonna dive down to the floor of the ocean
Who's gonna save you from being alone
Who's gonna hold you when you cry in the nighttime
Who's gonna carry your heart
Your heart of stone
Your heart of stone
Sara Smile lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Hall & Oates)
Baby hair with a woman’s eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and were waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I cant go on you come and hold me
It's you... and me forever
Sara smile
Wont you smile a while for me, Sara
If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free, all you have to do is say so
When you feel cold, I'll warm you
And when you feel you cant go on, I'll come and hold you
It's you... and me forever
Sara smile
Wont you smile a while for me, Sara
Sara smile
Wont you smile a while for me, Sara
Eliminate The Night lyrics - Joan Osborne
I don't wanna be the other woman
I know you're not the cheatin' kind
But I see you every night in a fever dream
I just can't get you out of my mind
I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night
No other man in this room tonight, no other man in this town
Make me say these wicked words, make me lay my conscience down
Oh honey when it comes to you, I ain't got no shame
You can have me any way you like, you can call me by her name
I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night
There's a lot o' men on the floor tonight and gonna give 'em each a dance
But I'm makin' my every move for you, I'm ridin' on your every glance
I could leave in the mornin' before you awake and I really wouldn't mind to pretend
That I never held you and you can go on home and this'll never happen again
I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
I'll be alright
If you eliminate the night
I'll be okay
Take all these burnin' hours away
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night
Oh, eliminate, eliminate the night
Break Up To Make Up lyrics - Joan Osborne
Tell me what's wrong - with you
Tell me why I - never seem to make you happy
Though heaven knows I try
What does it take - to please you
Tell me just how - I can satisfy you baby
You're drivin' me wild
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
When I come home - from workin'
You're on the phone
Talkin' 'bout how bad I treat you
Now tell me I'm wrong
You say it's me - who argues
I say it's you
We have got to get together
Or baby we're through
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up
That's all we do
First you love me, then you hate me
That's a game for fools
I Know What's Goin' On lyrics - Joan Osborne
Mmm...
You would make a mistake
If you think I'm not awake
I know what's goin' on
You've been lying to me
But I don't want to set you free
I know what's goin' on
I'm the one who makes you happy
You got to know that for sure
Come on can we give our love just one more try
Make it better than it was before
Did you try to resist
Was she longing to be kissed
I know what's going on
You have changed who you are
I been watching from afar
I know what's going on
Mmm..
I know what's goin' on
Mmm...
I know what's goin' on
Does she whisper, does she sing
Does she say you're everything
I know what's goin' on
I can see it in my head
When we're lying in our bed
I know what's goin' on
I'm so angry I could murder, oohh
And I'm so lonesome in my mind
Oh, how I wish I didn't love you baby
But you got me hangin' on your line
Mmm...
Mmm...
I will wait for this to end
Cause I know you'll need a friend
When at last she breaks your heart
Cause the only way to win
Is to get you back again
Until then I'll fall apart
Mmm...
I know what's goin' on
[ad lib to end]
Alone With You lyrics - Joan Osborne
Every day I thank the Lord above
For giving me such a way with love
Oohh baby, what I wouldn't do
Just to be alone with you
You'd be crazy to resist
(You'd be crazy to resist)
I won't rest until I'm properly kissed
(Until I'm kissed)
Oohh baby, what I wouldn't do
(What I wouldn't do)
Just to be alone with you
I'm a full-grown woman and I'm in my prime
I know how to love you and I take my time
I'll wrap you up in all my curls
Make you forget all about your other girls
No one will know baby, no one will see
(No one will see)
No one can touch you now because you're safe with me
(You're safe with me)
Oohh baby, what I wouldn't do
(What I wouldn't do)
Just to be alone with you
Oohh baby, what I wouldn't do
(What I wouldn't do)
Just to be alone with you
(Just to be alone with you)
Just to be alone with you
(Just to be alone with you)
Oh just to be alone
Just to be alone
Kiss And Say Goodbye lyrics - Joan Osborne
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We been meeting here so long
I guess what we've done, oh was wrong
Please darlin' don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
I got ties and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Baby I'll need, I'll need another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
We been meeting here so long
I guess what we've done, oh was wrong
Please darlin' don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Oohh...
I'm gonna miss you baby
Understand me, won't you try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Heat Wave lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Martha And The Vandellas)
Whenever I'm with him something inside
Starts burning and I'm filled with fire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way it's supposed to be
It's like a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, it's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
Sounds so soft sweet and plain
I feel, right there, I feel this burning pain
This high blood pressure's got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
It's like a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, it's tearing me apart
Sometimes this scaring craze, tears all over my face
Can't explain it, don't understand it
I ain't never felt like this before
And that funny feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
It's like a heatwave
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ohh..
I'm feeling I'm burning
I feel I'm burning in my heart like a heatwave
Heatwave
I'm feeling
I'm feeling, I'm feeling
What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Jimmy Ruffin)
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and prayin' for someone to care
Always movin' and goin' nowhere
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me
what becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me, tell me
what becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oooh...
The broken-hearted
Now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone who cares
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Now
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
Pretty Little Stranger lyrics - Joan Osborne
Think I'm getting over him
The sap is risin' in the tree
The blood is runnin' in my heart
Brings desire back to me
I wonder who will the next fool be
There is a Spanish boy who also rides the A train
I want to tag him like a tiger
So I can track him as he moves around the city
So I can guard him like an angel
I wonder who will the next fool be
I wonder who will the next fool be
I got no more tears to cry
I can see it in the sky
In a bedroom by and by
I know it's comin' (oh yeah, ooh ooh)
I wonder who will the next fool be
I wonder who will the next fool be
I go out to the bars where the hearts are full of scars
And I lay mine out in the neon light
It's ragged and it's worn but it's about to be reborn
Honey, are you gonna take me home tonight?
When I meet each man I know
I look him deeply in the eye
Will it be a sweet old friend
Or a pretty little stranger passin' by?
I wonder who will the next fool be
I wonder who will the next fool be
I wonder who will the next fool be
I wonder who will the next fool be
[?] will the next fool be
I wonder who will the next fool be
Holy Waters lyrics - Joan Osborne
On a pitch black highway lookin' for a road
Sleepin' on a stormy bed, honey, who will be your coat
Came to be my drivin' wheel, you came to be my man
Now you're rollin' like a baby boy in the backseat of a van
Holy waters, holy way
Holy waters, sweetest way
Mississippi and Missouri
Where the sun swims with the moon
Rainbows run through chapel rooms
Pourin' honey by the spoon
In came to bring you watermelon
Bring you scented wine
Now I'm burning up in hot breath
And the rivers rollin' out of time
Holy waters, holy way
Holy waters, sweetest way
I listen to a seashell out on a purple shore
I heard a song so wild and sweet it moved me to the core
So while the road is dancin' you let your love know how
Move it like the ocean and the waves from here tonight
Holy waters, holy way
Holy waters, sweetest way
Holy waters, holy way
Holy waters, sweetest way
Holy waters, holy way
Holy waters, sweetest way
Holy waters, holy way
Holy waters, sweetest way
Brokedown Palace lyrics - Joan Osborne
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.
Going to leave this brokedown palace,
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed in the waterside,
In my time, I will roll, roll roll.
Make myself a bed by the waterside I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
Its a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.
Goin home, goin home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
Going to plant a weeping willow,
On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
What You Are lyrics - Joan Osborne
All the ladies on the lake they start to dance
It's been a long time don't you wish you had the chance
What do you wish you were?
Do you wish you were the silence of the moon?
Nobody knows but maybe you will be soon
I used to think that the sidewalk was the way
Always waiting for my lucky day
Over and over, every patch of gray
One day inside me I was lucky anyway
What do you wish you were?
Do you wish you were the light of every star?
Nobody knows but maybe that's just what you are
All night, count all the singing stars
All right is where you want to know you are
What do you wish you were?
Do you wish you were the light of every star?
Nobody knows but maybe that's just what you are
Nobody knows but maybe that's just what you are
Shake The Devil lyrics - Joan Osborne
Guess I had to find out the hard way
The things that I have come here to learn
Fire of this pleasure, it can warm me
But in the end it only burns
He could put me high on a pedestal
He could rob me of my shame
He could hold me down under water
Till I could not remember my own name
In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
In my time I've done some meanness
Brought the ones I love so much pain
Pride, it was eatin' all my heart away
My soul it was rustin' in the rain
And all these sins I am confessin'
They still come knockin' on my door
But I know better than to answer
I tell them that girl don't live here anymore
In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
Every livin' thing is callin' out to me
The leaves on the trees wave me on
Got a wind to lift me when I'm fallin'
Got a road to put my feet upon
In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
Time Won't Tell lyrics - Joan Osborne
I can't believe that after all this time
You keep slipping back across my mind
Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt
Other loves I've had have come and gone
I don't know why, they just don't last too long
There are questions that go on and go
That time won't tell
Time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright
It can only take me back again
And re-run those memories in black and white
I watch us kiss good-bye that day
Here's where you turn around and walk away
Where were the words that would have made you stay
Well, time won't tell
Time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright
It can only take me back again
And re-run those memories in black and white
You never see the road you didn't take
You never feel the love you failed to make
But you never know might be the words to say
And time won't tell
Time won't tell
Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends lyrics - Joan Osborne
This may be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again.
Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.
See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all we remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends.
Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as a love that might have been.
Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends.
Who Divided lyrics - Joan Osborne
I get into my car
Turn the radio on
Drive by your house, your window, your bed
Since we've been over and done
Ah, but your voice is still ringin' in my head
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
I saw you way up town
Another girl by your side
I knew by your smile she was more than just a friend
I'm gonna bury my head in the comfort so deeper
Knowin' I'll never feel your arms again
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
It's when love is over you're gonna learn about time
You're gonna fight and scheme
You're gonna weep and moan
You're gonna wonder why, why, why, why
It's 3 AM says the clock on the wall
Here is the dark of the night the world stands still
I'm reaching for the phone, that old number to call
Oh, but I know I can't stand to feel that chill
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
Who divided up the days into hours
The hours into minutes
How could they really be that smart?
Who divided up the minutes into seconds?
They must've had a broken heart
Must've had a broken heart
Oh, they must've had a broken heart
They must have, must have, must have had a broken heart
Till I Get It Right lyrics - Joan Osborne
I'll just keep on falling in love
Til I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird
Hungry for the skies
But if I try my wings
And try long enough
I'm bound to learn to fly
I'll just keep on falling in love
Til I get it right
My door to love has opened out
More times than in
I'm either fool or wise enough
To open it again
Cause I'll never know what's beyond the mountain
Til I reach the other side
I'll just keep on falling in love
Til I get it right
If practice makes perfect
Then I'm near about as perfect
As I'll ever be in my life
I'll just keep on falling in love
Til I get it right
Dead Roses lyrics - Joan Osborne
Do you think about the days when we were in love
When a whispered word could send us both to heaven
Now I press a kiss but I know it doesn't move you
It's time for me to let it go
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be
You don't love me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me
Well, I still hang around put money in the jukebox
Play those songs, let them ring the tears from me
Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home
But that's where all those memories will be
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be
You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be
You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me
Dead roses are still beautiful to me
After Jane lyrics - Joan Osborne
I can't laugh
I can't moan
I can't leave myself alone
After Jane
After Jane
I was hers
She was mine
We were together all the time
Oh, my Jane
Oh, my Jane
Maybe it's the right thing, and maybe it's wrong
You know I lay awake and wonder all night long
Maybe it's over and maybe we're free
You know this lonely feelin' is drownin' me
Will I rise up again?
Will I ever know a friend, like my Jane?
Oh, my Jane
Maybe it's the right thing and maybe it's wrong
You know I lay awake and wonder all night long
Maybe it's over and maybe it's not
You know this lonely feelin' is all I got
Will I rise up again?
Will I ever know a friend, like my Jane?
Oh, my Jane
After Jane
After Jane
Oh, my Jane
Oh, my Jane
After Jane
When The Blue Hour Comes lyrics - Joan Osborne
The good times are all gone
The night keeps coming on so strong
You cant hold on, no matter what you do
Will there be someone who cares for you
When the blue hour comes?
When the blue hour comes?
And when your restless heart
Tears your world apart
And everywhere you turn
Its falling down on you
Will there be a light that shines for you?
When the blue hour comes for you
If theres anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and Ill be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
Good times don't last forever
Sometimes its now or never
Darling, reach out for me
You know where Ill be
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes for you
If theres anything that you would have me do
Just call on me and Ill be coming through
I will always be there for you
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
I will always be there
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes
When the blue hour comes...
[Repeat to fade]
I'll Be Around lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by The Spinners)
This, is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no
You made your choice, now it's up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key, but baby
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around
I, knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know
There's always a chance
A tiny spark remains, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, but I know you know
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around...yeah
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Even if I have to call, I'll be there
I'll be around
Just call me on the phone, I'll be there
I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there
Just call out my name, I know I know you know
I'll be around
I'll be standin' in a coffin, I'll be there
I'll be a rippin' it up, I'll be there
I'll be calling out your name to let you know,
I'll be around.
Think lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Aretha Franklin)
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
Let's go back let's go back let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you. You couldn't 'o been too much more than 10
I ain't no psychiatrist I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much IQ to see what you're doin' to me
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
Freedom (freedom), Freedom (freedom)
There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
People walkin' 'round everyday planning games and taking scores
Tryin to make other people lose their minds well be careful you don't lose yours
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do
[vamp]
Oh Freedom (freedom) Freedom (freedom)...
There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do
[vamp]
Freedom...
Think!...
How Sweet It Is lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Marvin Gaye)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Smiling Faces Sometimes lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by The Temptations)
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, huh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, huh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (Jealousy)
Misery (Misery)
Envy
I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes) [2x]
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

(originally by Stevie Wonder)
Good morn or evening friends

Bring it down a little love is very peaceful
So bring it down a little

These Arms Of Mine lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Otis Redding)
These arms of mine
They are lonely, lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning, yearning from wanting you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
These arms of mine
They are burning, burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting, wanting to hold you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
Come on, come on baby
Just be my little woman, just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody, somebody to treat me right, oh
I need your woman's loving arms to hold me tight
And I...I...I need...I need your...I need your tender lip
Only You Know And I Know lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Dave Mason)
Only you know and I know
All the loving we've got to show
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings
'Cause you know that I mean what I say so don't go
And never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on getting your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday, yeah.
We're both here to be pleasing
Oh no, not deceiving
But it's hard to believe in, aw yeah
When you've been so mistreated.
'Cause you know that I mean what I say so don't go
And never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on getting your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday.
If I seem to mislead you
It's just my craziness coming through
But when it comes down to just two
Aw, I ain't no crazier than you
'Cause you know that I mean what I say so don't go
And never take me the wrong way
You know you can't go on getting your own way
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday.
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know, oh yeah
Only you know and I know, oh yeah, get up
War lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Edwin Starr)
[Chorus:]
War
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the undertaker
War means tears
To thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight
And their daughters lose their lives in
[Chorus]
War, it's an enemy of all mankind
The news of war, it breaks my heart and closes my mind
War has laid waste to a whole generation
Induction then destruction
And who wants to die in a
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Tell me
War
What is it good for
Ask yourself this question
Peace Love and Understanding;
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord, lord there's got to be a better way
War
What is it good for
Tell me, tell me, tell me
War
What is it good for
Can you tell me now
There's got to be a better way
Why Can't We Live Together lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Timmy Thomas)
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No more war, no more war, no more war...
Just a little peace.
No more war, no more war.
All we want is some peace in this world.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's going to be together.
Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to be together.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
Gotta live together...
Together.
Axis: Bold As Love lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Jimi Hendrix)
Anger, he smiles,
towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on
But they're bold as love, just as bold as love
Yeah, they're bold as love
Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young and full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
I'm as bold as love, I'm as bold as love
Just as bold as love
Just ask the axis
The Weight lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by The Band)
Pulled into Nazareth, feeling 'bout half past dead
Just need a place where I can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed?
He just grinned, shook my hand, 'no' was all he said
[Chorus:]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
and put the load right on me
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, 'Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown'
She said, 'I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around'
[Chorus]
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
'Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?'
He said, 'Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?'
[Chorus]
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
He said, 'I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog'
I said, 'Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man'
He said, 'That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can'
[Chorus]
Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Everybody Is A Star lyrics - Joan Osborne
(originally by Sly & The Family Stone)
Everybody is a star
Who can rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
Ooh, come out on a cloudy day
'Til the sun that loves you proud
When the system tries to bring you down
Every hand to shine tonight
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right
Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle going round and round
Running Out Of Time lyrics - Joan Osborne
Can you see me rising since your
Disappearance safe to say
That I've regained myself
Sleeping like a baby still I wonder maybe
If we'll ever
Meet up somewhere else
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
How you walk around with all that
Contempt inside you I'm
Amazed that you can stand up straight
Turned up the volume when you heard
Me saying to you how
Does somebody switch from love to hate
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time
If I ever sit to write the story
I'll say something nice
About you when you're dead
Moving like the ocean
Safe inside the notion that I can
Read it layin' in my bed
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time
Yes it's complicated if the feelings faded
Still it's better
To have no regrets
When you think about me if you think
About me please
Remember that I've done my best
Can you see me rising since your
Disappearance,safe to say
That I've regained myself
Crawling like a baby.
Still I wonder maybe if we'll ever
Meet up somewhere else cause...
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time
Righteous Love lyrics - Joan Osborne
I was a troubled soul
I had a worried mind
Drifting from place to place
I was the restless kind
Right there in front to me
bright as the light of day
you saw a broken girl
You loved me anyway
And if I sprouted wings
I would not be amazed
cause faith is a mystery that
rocks me for days and days and day and
I could be in the street
I could be on a train
or struck in some doorway down
in the pouring rain
Now there is not one place
that doesn't feel like home
No matter where I go
I know I'm not alone
[Chorus:]
I've never been so sure of love
And if I sprouted wings
I would not be amazed
cause faith is a mystery that
rocks me for days and days and day
Oh you can ask me once
And I will tell you twice
No one's convincing me
this isn't paradise
And if I cause you pain
I'd only hurt myself
cause we have a righteous love
I feel for on one else
[Chorus:]
I've never been so sure of love
Safety In Numbers lyrics - Joan Osborne
There is safety in numbers
and people and thins and in big wads of money
and great big platinum rings
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers
in numbers my friend
There are people who watch you in your windows at night
and they follow your movements in the cold fluorescent light
They wait for their moment, they'll get you in the end
There is safety in numbers, in numbers my friend
I was just like you before
You want somebody to love
Since that day I learned the score
I know how to rise above
There is shelter in power
and promises of pain and in lovers and lawyers
and dogs pulling at the chain
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers,
in numbers my friend
You will find me well protected
when you come around today
So remember what
I told you and continue on your way
Cause no one will ever
get near me again
There is safety in numbers, in numbers my friend
Love Is Alive lyrics - Joan Osborne
Well I think it's time to get ready
to realize just what I have found
I have been only half of what I am
it's all clear to me now
[Chorus:]
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
There's something inside
that's making me crazy
I'll try to keep it together
But what I say may not happen the same way
now could mean forever
[Chorus:]
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
Is there a movie inside my mind
reflecting the love that you shine on me
But hold on how to that feeling
Let it go, let it grow
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
Angel Face lyrics - Joan Osborne
I was struck down by your angel face
I had a father
I had a brother
I had a husband and I had a lover
I had a son he filled me with wonder
But I was struck down by your angel face
I was a woman
I was a mother
Woke in a fever from what I've been under
You made my heart beat
like God made the thunder
I was struck down by your angel face
Oh, did I tell you?
Did I bother to mention
you're keeping me worried
building up tension
Spinning out of control
Don't trust my intention since
I was struck down by your angel face
Grand Illusion lyrics - Joan Osborne
The obliteration of your isolation
the complete explosion of your fondest notion
This disintegration is your elevation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion
You're crying, you're trying so hard now
You'll be laughing
a hundred thousand years
There is only one day
and tonight is the night
It's a grand illusion
The devastation of your separation
The disillusion of your constitution
It's exhilaration, it's your liberation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion
You're crying, you're trying so hard now
You'll be laughing a hundred thousand years
There is only one day and tonight is the night
It's a grand illusion
If I Was Your Man lyrics - Joan Osborne
Floating above you
beyond the naked eye
Blue dreams about you
keep playing in my mind
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
I'm just a satellite
so lazy in the breeze
Ready to fly away, I need your gravity
When I run down the path
the turns look all the same
And if I lose my way
your mind will call my name
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Let's go outside to a dark place
Where the kitty cat hides
put on your fake wings
give the moon a ride
When you're lonely for the angel inside
3:30 in the morning is too easy for you
But when it comes without a warning
What are you gonna do this time? You gonna do this time?
Floating above you
beyond the naked eye
Blue dreams about you
comes rushing through my mind
Branded with thoughts of you
They're tattooed on my sou;
Why don't they seem to fade
Is what I'll never know
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Baby Love lyrics - Joan Osborne
Tender as a peach
Someone I would love to teach
Started as a joke
just a lazy little poke
Wake up one sweet day
and I could not run away
Ears will start to bleed
No I cannot take this speed
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love again
I was innocent
wonder where your manners went
How was I to know
if would never let me go
Drag it through the mud
will we ever see some blood
You would try to leave
something I cannot conceive
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love again
Take me in your fist
prove to me that you exist
Be as plain as day
watch my body melt away
There in black and white
victim of my appetite
Make me understand
do you want to be the man
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love again
I'm in love baby love again
Hurricane lyrics - Joan Osborne
I am a genius
I am a diamond
My pretty tongue gives you a freezer burn
I think above you in three dimensions
Come in here, you can never return
Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane
When you open you open a vein
I see your headlights across my ceiling
you are a puppet of a wish I made
They never touch me, they say I'm crazy
I was born from my mother's brain, my mother's brain
Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane
When you open you open a vein
You plant a seed in my mind
I walk around and I speak your message
For myself I don't know what to say
I walk around and I speak your message
Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane
When you open you open a vein
Give me more give me more Novocain
Poison Apples (Hallelujah) lyrics - Joan Osborne
Your memory comes back to me
to strangle me with its sweet taste
See God would never be so cruel
to make me live without your face
Now that I have made you crawl
It does you good to see me fall
Like poison apples from the tree
as heavy as a honey bee
Hallelujah
I gave you away so easily
It makes me wonder why
Moving through you every night
The lovely girls in dresses tight
The angels dancing on a pin
The people we are downing in
Like a needle going in
Into the shining city skin
Oh I recall the moment when you ruined me for other men
Hallelujah
I gave you away so easily
It makes me wonder why
If I die before you do
believe me I'll be haunting you
I'll come upon you while you sleep
to drown you in a kiss
So deep
