1.Be Strong Now
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
Little darling belle with such a fragile shellIn the powerful way that love seems to make herAll regret it nowAnd if she’d only say what’s wrong- she can’t on
You've got to be strong nowAnd if I come and hold you nowYou'll be safe and sound
Make a lonely faceThat no one ever seesYou see the things she believesSince life is bittersweet andShe'd open up to meAnd it's the only thing she dreamsYou've gotta believe
You've got to be strong nowAnd if i come and hold you nowYou've got to be strong nowIf I hold you nowIf I hold you nowIf I hold you now...
Ooh god if I could change a thing tonightWe won't be lonelyOoh god if I could change a thingWhy does it have to be this wayYou have to be strong nowAnd if I come and hold you nowYou've got to be strong nowIf I hold you nowIf I hold you now
2.Sound of Love
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
The sound of love is oceans far awayAnd I can love and I can shake your faithThe sound that beckons me is from your heartAnd I can’t begin to say cause I don’t really knowJust where I’ve been every desire my heart gives in
Your love it takes a lot of faithAnd I know I have to wait my own good timeYour love it takes a lot of faithAnd I know that we can make it all work out
I found you lost and longing, a troubled pastLets begin again cause she’s not going to lastBefore this day is done every desire under the sun
Your love it takes a lot of faithAnd I know I have to wait my own good timeYour love it takes a lot of faithAnd I know that we can make it all work out
In the daylight love seems to come and goBut no more indecision, no more heartfelt divisionI’ve seen a vision
The sound of love is passing as cities decayPeople always searching a lonely diseaseOverrunning run right to me babeI swear that this love is strongIt’s going to carry me, over this dream, and every desire
Your love it takes a lot of faithAnd I know I have to wait my own good timeYour love I know I can’t escape itAnd I know that we can make it all work out
No more indecision, no more heartfelt divisionI’ve seen a vision
3.Beauty
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
In a minute dear, in a whole second, it’ll come clearDo you see beauty, do you see loveRight away dear, in the desperate way,No one hears you call do you see beauty,Do you see love
In the morning light you lay by my sideIn the evening it gets so your love begins to shineThe world is changing but my love will remainDo you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
Theres a love that never comes back downIt feels like something is gonna happen nowDo you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
In a minute dear, in a whole second, it’ll come clearDo you see beauty, do you see loveLove it calls your name no matter how you tryAnd I can’t recall a time when I didn’t love you
Do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at allIn all this time we waste precious time you wasteI can’t hide it anymore
Do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at allIn all this time we waste precious time you wasteI can’t hide it anymore
Love, love, loveLove is what you keepLove is what you need
4.See the Sun
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
Come back to me darling don’t stay your heart is free to beWith someone else who loves and cares and talks to youIt’s meWhen you wanna sing do sing and if your undecided you knowThere's no denying how I loved you I’ll be around to run toIt’s me
See the sun and what your givenAnd every wonderSee the sun and what your givenFeel the warmth love givesTo everyone and everything know you feel the same
And oh-it’s the hardest thing to do and no if you’re goneWill I come find you- I know that in a day or two whenThings are quiet and there’s only you,Theres no wrong and on
See the sun and what your given
I told you, I told you that when we fell apartI wrote you, I wrote you and asked you for apart of youDon’t deny itFeel the warmth love givesSee the sun and what your givenFeel the warmth love gives
5.Country Girl
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
Hallelujah, I’m in love with a girl from the countryShe’s got no money just a smile I’m in love withWe go running I don’t care where to till the mourningThere’s a part of you that never dies I’m in love with
If I give you everything you’ll ever need and it all comes down to
Your half smile, country mile, angel child
When night is falling you dream of city lightsYou hear them calling you hold my hand and then weCry i’m in love with
And I can’t find any other way to live and it all comes back to
Your half smile, country mile, angel child
Want you to stay, want you to sway, want you
I’m in love with youI’m in love with you
6.Jealousy
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
Hey now you never wanna be alone you never wanna be apartFrom me on your ownHey now if we runaway and hide and you tell me theresA hurt if you confide
You’ve been lost for so many years all your heartacheIt all comes clear
Your little jealousy, your little jealousy, jealousy over me
Hey now throw your arms around me and you tell meTheres no reason to believeHey now, now if I reassure you I can tell you in one little word
Love is a falling starLove could cure a heart
You’ve been lost for so many years, all your worries, they disappear
Your little jealousy, your little jealousy, jealousy over me
There is a falling starLove could cure a heart
You’ve been lost for so many years, all your worries , they disappear
Your little jealousy, your little jealousy, jealousy over me
There is a falling star love could cure a heart
You’ve been lost for so many years and every time your heartPulls at my strings
Your little jealousy, your little jealousy, jealousy over me
7.Lover, Lover
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
Lover darling, when you hold my hand it’s all I’ll have until tomorrowLover darling, when you hold my life if you say it’s night untilTomorrow
Lover, lover come to me if you need sympathyLover, lover won’t you speak I can barely hear you breathe
Lover, angel and the stars at night in a burned out sky until tomorrowLover, angel with no end in sight and no wings to flyBut your still there
Lover, lover come to me if you need sympathyLover, lover won’t you speak I can barely hear you breathe
On the way to the sunTheres a new world thats just begunI can feel I’m getting older I can feel the years wash overYour the only one I love
Lover, lover come to me if you need sympathylover, lover won’t you speak I can hardly hear youIf you’ll say that you’ll love me if your hearts one and onlyIf you’ll live with me for just one day until tomorrowUntil tomorrow - lover, lover come to me if you need sympathy
8.Silver String
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
I need you dear, you lay sleeping by my sideAnd I worry dear but things you say are bright and gayAnd I warm to your words of encouragementAnd not a soul knows what I will know
Were lovers and were honestlyTogether somehow and tied with silver stringWe’ll live forever and everAnd if you decide *
Downhearted, down cause we live apartNo, I can’t fake it not for one more day
If theres someplace we can goIf we can make a homeIt’s up to us to cope
In you I trust in all things theres a mustAnd I will live again
Were lovers and were honestlyTogether somehow and tied with silver stringWe’ll live forever and everAnd if you decide
Were lovers and were honestlyTogether somehow and tied with silver stringWe’ll live forever and everAnd if you decide
9.Winter
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
Love will carry me over land to the seaTake me far away to a home where I’ll stayI give you part of me and thru your eyes I will seeA place where there is light and all the stars are out at night
And I came calling out your nameAnd I came calling out in vainAnd I walk and no one knows my nameAnd I come will you help me find my way
Theres another way if I leave here todayI’m down and I’m blue am I hearing rightWill I come find you, if I fall away in there
And I came calling out your nameAnd I came calling out in vainAnd I walk and no one knows my nameAnd I come will you help me find my way
If it’s over the highest peak I will go if you cover meOh I know I’ll fail oh I know I’m weak but its you againOver and over I hear angels singing loveI dreamed I found you, yearning tides love the moonHold me in your mourning lightJesus loves the first light
10.One and Two
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
You and I are one and twoIf you count we were both torn in twoYou and I are one and twoBoth our hearts beat as one did
But is it ok, but is it ok if I runaway, is it okWhen your love has faded awayIf I hold you tight and never let goIf I hold you tight and never let showThe I feel all around me I know its you
You and I are hopeless tooIf I give you all my heart could and Im true (I need you)All my life I waited forAnd there’s nothing left and theres no one elseHere live for anymore
Is it ok, is it ok if I can’t escape in good faithOr live just one more longer day
If I hold you tight and never let goIf I hold you tight and never let showThe way god moves deep inside of you I swear its you
If I hold you tight and never let goIf I hold you tight and never let goIf I hold you in arms forever all around meAll around me and I swear its you
11.No One's Gonna Hurt You
Lyrics:James Iha Music:James Iha
No one’s gonna hurt you, not anymoreEver since I’ve met you I’ve come to adore youAnd I know they’ve hurt you bruised and soreAnd I wanna love you a nightengale that longs to sleepAnd sound
No ones gonna hurt you, no ones gonna hurt you not anymoreNo ones gonna hurt you, no ones gonna hurt you not anymore
If I hold you close I will take you to a secret world where no onKnows
And I wanna love you a nightengale that longs to sleepAnd sound
No ones gonna hurt you, no ones gonna hurt you not anymore
You’ve tried for so many years to runawayPlease don’t break my heartOh you know this is our last chanceIf were ever gonna make it
No one’s gonna hurt you, not anymoreNo one’s gonna hurt youI swear to god I need, there is no moreNo one’s gonna hurt you
Over rocks, over stones, all my life spent alone
