The Other Woman

Love - may you be blessed
Live in the warmth of your caress
And, as you go on
May you be, never less than you can be

Love - may you hold strong
Stay, all the way where you belong
Then, as time goes by
May you be, the sweet song, you sing today

Love - may you be blessed
Every day
Every way ...

Once i saw you leather and lace
Andy warhol fixing some face
Your rock 'n' roll dreams
Were slowly going nowhere it seemed

Chasing rainbows, vagabond kings
Always want impossible things
You make up some time
I find out constantly on my mind

Chorus:

Quicksilver streams of light, shine in the darkest night
You leave my doubt in shadows, you cast a spell i can't help believing
Standing beside me, i feel you breathing near
But now you're far ahead, are you leaving
Will you still find me here?

You're still constant, future and past
Quick as silver every move fast
You're everything still
You move amongh moments at will

You hold such love, fragments of time
Lonely dreams so share them with mine
You're making me spin
I turn and find quicksilver within

Chorus


Reach out, touch me, let it be me
In your heart and your mind
And in all space and time
Reach out, touch me
And i'll set you free

Chorus

Repeat last four lines of chorus two times

I was secure in my mind
Nothing would sway my way
I closed my eyes your designs
Left me unmoved to doubt you
Don't talk to me of love songs
Melodies stray colour my day

Don't talk about ways - that we once loved, and once lived
Don't talk about days we were together
Don't think, i'll break down - your fingers soft on my skin
Don't talk about love - 'cause i won't let you in

I was so sure on my own
No-one could change my day
I could be happy alone
That's where i lived without you
You talk to me of love songs

Melodies weave making believe
Don't talk about ways we once laughed and made love
Don't talk about us, i've no defenses
You know i'll break down, your fingers soft on my skin
Don't talk about love - 'cause i just might let you in

Talk don't talk - talk
Talk don't talk - talk
Talk don't talk - talk
Talk don't talk - talk

Don't talk about ways - that we once loved, and once lived
Don't talk about days we were together
Don't think i'll break down - your fingers soft on my skin
Don't talk about love - 'cause i won't let you in

Don't talk about ways we once laughed and made love
Don't talk about us, i've no defenses
You know i'll break down - your fingers soft on my skin
Don't talk about love - 'cause i just might let you in

Don't talk about ways we that once loved and made thin ... together
Don't think i'll break down - your fingers soft on my skin
Don't talk about love - 'cause i just might let you in

Don't talk about ways we once laughed and made love
Don't talk about us, i've no defenses
You know i'll break down - your fingers soft on my skin
Don't talk about love - 'cause i just might let you in

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now i live to sing

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now i live to sing

You know it's hard away from you
Travelling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely

Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights

Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams i take your hand, you walk with me

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again i look for you and find you there

Desintation homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now i see
Hard to be really free, i'm missing you near me

Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights

Chorus:

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you

Repeat chorus twice

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you

The other woman
The other woman

I turn away, know you're lying
Hear you call her name, find myself crying
It's so absurd, i tell myself
He hasn't changed
Always wants somebody else, another game
Always thinking of himself
Another day andother year another name

Chorus:

I'll be how the other woman is
I'll be just who i am
I'm composing, my goodbye love
Find myself, and losing no more time
Be how i know i can
I'm supposing, you know why love

They flatter you, you send flowers
Say you'll be right home, they you're gone, hours
It's so absurd, the same old song
Why should he change?
So secure, cause he has me to fall back on
Who's to blame the other woman
No he'll stay the same until he finds me gone

Chorus

Will you send roses?

I have to say it feels so strange
So out of place
Insecure i see the flowers rearranged
How i changed, the other woman
And i'll stay the same, continue to be strong

Chorus

So absurd i have to say
Your roses came today
(you) sing the same old song
You only want me now because i've gone

Yes i've gone
I've gone
I've gone
I've gone
I've gone
