alex clare - whispering

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I pass myself down to my knees
Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said

Who will care for the fallen?
Who will care for the falling.. leaves?

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said

Who will care for the fallen?
Who will care for the fallen?

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands,
Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am
Suddenly here, when I want to scream
Autumn calms me down, keeps me in my dreams

Then I went whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I pass myself down to my knees
Whispering, whispering, those dew drops are glistening
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said

Who will care for the fallen?
Who would care for the fallen?

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands
Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am
Suddenly here, when I want to scream
Autumn calms me down, leaves me in her dreams

Keep on falling down, they keep on falling down
Keep on falling down, keep on falling down

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands
Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am
Suddenly here, when I want to scream
Autumn calms me down, leaves me in my dreams

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands
Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am
Suddenly hearing, when I want to scream
Oh, please just cut me down, leave me in my dreams

alex clare - i won t let you down

Just another grey autumn day
You're the sunshine trying to break through
No I never imagine that my path would lead to you
A look in your eyes as they met mine
Seem to say we're the same
In so many ways
Though we're worlds apart
I will promise you

I won't let you down
No I won't let you down

There are so many reasons to keep us apart
But it won't stop me losing
My mind or my heart
What would I give
To touch your hand
Or just feel your skin
I'd breathe you in
Could this ever be
You'll be next to me

No I won't let you down
No I won't let you down

I know myself so well
But I've never been here before
You're just out of my reach
But I will be here
Of that you can be sure
Can be sure

It's another grey autumn day
You're the sunshine trying to break through
I can only imagine that I'm walking with you
I realise if you were mine
We may fall apart
Oh you'd have my heart
There's too many things between you and me

No I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't let you down

alex clare - damn your eyes

I can do what I want,
I'm in complete control
That's what I tell myself!
I got a mind of my own,
I'll be alright alone
Don't need anybody else!
I give myself a good talking to
No more being a fool for you
I remember how you made wanna surrender!

[Chorus:]
Damn your eyes!
They're taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
Making me fall in love again!
Damn your eyes!

Always the same,
You say that you'll change
Somehow you never do!
I believe all your lies
The look in your eyes
You make it all seem true!
I guess I see what I wanna see,
Or is my heart just deceiving me
With that look I know so well,
I fall completely under your spell!

[Chorus:]
Damn your eyes!
They're taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
Making me fall in love again!
Damn your eyes!

Fall completely under your spell
Damn your eyes!
Taking my breath away
For making me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For getting my hopes up high
Making me fall in love again!
Damn your eyes!

alex clare - sparks

Fell apart
It all fell apart
Except for this piece
You left in my heart
And I hang on to it
Everyday

There's a beast in me
He's fighting the man
The man who's tryin' to do good
Tryin' to understand
That we can do his best to
Bring you back down
And we're just chasing sparks
We're just chasing those ancient sparks

Said come to the garden
My sister, my wife
And I'll give you the finest things of your life
And you can get lost in the goodness of me

Things got in the way
The that we understood
We failed to do the things that we should
Now we're strugglin' everyday

And we're just chasing sparks
We're just chasing those ancient sparks
We're just chasing sparks

Give us so much of the things we must learn
Gonna hold on to this long as I can
Things we can teach them
So much more we can learn
Gonna hold on to this long as I can
We need to fall apart
Just to make our hearts yearn

Sometimes I fall apart
(Sometimes I fall apart)
(Sometimes I fall apart)
Sometimes I fall apart
(Sometimes I fall apart)

And we're just chasing sparks
We're just chasing those ancient sparks
We're just chasing sparks
We're just chasing those ancient sparks

alex clare - hands are clever

Care about no history
I just wanna go and raise a family with you
Raise 'em true, raise 'em properly
I'm built for cover do it built for speed
And I wanna go fast so gimme what I need now
I bet you hear that all the time
I've been watchin' you sitting there
And I wanna pull you near

Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in

I'm gonna get you those precious things
Like old brand whiskey and chicken wings
See that's a promise I can keep

I like cashmere, I like your sweater
But if you take it off we'll both feel better
You know I'll help you happily

If these lights are low enough
No one's gonna see you blush

Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in

There's only so much I can say
To convince you

No words that have their place
Not in a bedroom
Said I don't care if you go.
Well, that's a lie, cause I do.

Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in

Words are clever
Hands are better
So let's put them together
Do you want what I got
Cause I need your company
If you doubt a thing that I say
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in

alex clare - relax my beloved

Relax my beloved, don't worry for me
Don't shed a tear for me always be near for me
Be comforted my love don't bow you head for me
Promise you'll smile for me don't ever cry for me
You know these walls they may fall down
But I'll still hold on to you
At heights higher than youd imagine me too

Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times
Before don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door
Be still my heart, im only a moment away
In the next room or at the break of day
And I would walk, once again to see your face again
And id hear every word you'd have too say
Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times
Before don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door

Relax my beloved, dont worry for me
Don't shed a tear for me always be near for me
Be comforted my love don't bow you head for me
Promise you'll smile for me don't ever cry for me
You know these walls they may fall down
But I'll still hold on to you
At heights higher than you'd imagine me too

Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door

Be still my heart, I'm only a moment away
In the next room or at the break of day
And I would walk, once again to see your face again
And I'd hear every word you'd have too say

Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door

alex clare - too close

You know I'm not one to break promises
I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe
At the end of it all, you're still my best friend
But there's something inside that I need to release
Which way is right, which way is wrong
How do I say that I need to move on
You know we have is separate way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I'll be on my way

You gave me more that I can return
Yet there's so much that you deserve
Nothing to say, nothing to do,
I've nothing to give
I must leave without you
You know we have is separate way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing that I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way

alex clare - when doves cry

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (world so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like

When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)

Don't cry (don't cry)

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

alex clare - up all night

Wakin' up in someone else's bed
Was what I was waitin' for
Oh my days what have I done
She saw me sneaking out the door
What have I been waiting for
Been wasting all my time
Watchin' my youth slip away
Surely is a crime

And no, she don't know
What we do in our spare time
No she don't know
That we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night

We go on and on
And on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning

We go on and on
And on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning

Sun is up while I'm walkin' home
But my heads up in the clouds
Trying to get my self to bed
But I really don't know how

And no, she don't know
What we do in our spare time
No she don't know
That we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night

We go on and on
And on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning

We go on and on
And on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning

When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets
When I get myself home to my bedroom
I'm gonna sleep all day till the sunsets

We go on and on
And on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning

We go on and on
And on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna
We gonna end up in the morning

alex clare - caroline

Leave your back door open for me and I
Put your keys in under the door on time
Seems we've been waiting for a long time
My delay surely will be? a crime
You know? whether? we can do anything
I know that you can do everything
You said that we should try many things
Let's make an hour so we can do everything

I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
I don't want to waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline

We had each other for to short awhile
You caught my soul with your gentle smile
I can swim in your eyes
Rest my lips up on your sweet, sweet
You know just how I feel for you
I know that my love is true
I'mma tire, I'll just steal and loose
Just let me do what I want to do

I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
I don't want to waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline, Caroline....Caroline

I've tried all I can
There's no getting through
Hope you get all you deserve
And some happiness too
I'm sure there's a better man
Somewhere waiting for you
But if he doesn't come along
You know I'll be waiting here for you

I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
I don't want to waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline
I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
No I don't
I don't wanna waste my time unless I'm loving you my dear
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline no oh Caroline

alex clare - just a man

SEE, I'M JUST A MAN
I got these troubles, I'm making plans
Know there's really nothing but you

Keeps me awake and I
Think of another way we can fuss and fight
There must be somewhere I can get through

I have not slept for days
I have not slept for days
I have not slept for days
I have not slept for days

There's A WAR going on in my heart
I got a battle kicking off in my heart
There's A WAR going on in my heart

No, there's really nothing if I know I can't have you
Well, could I be forgiven for the things I put you through?
See, I'm just a man trying to understand what I'll do, I do to you

LYING IN AM EMPTY BED
All my mistakes running around my head
There's nothing I can honestly say

DON'T THINK BEFORE I SPEAK
My mind is strong but my heart is weak
I'm not the only one who's made this way

I have not slept for days
I have not slept for days
I have not slept for days
I have not slept for days

No, there's really nothing if I know I can't have you
Well, could I be forgiven for the things I put you through?
See, I'm just a man trying to understand what I'll do
See, I'm just a man trying to understand what I'll do, do to you

There's A WAR going on in my heart
I got a battle kicking off in my heart
There's A WAR going on in my heart
I got a battle kicking off in my heart

There's A WAR going on in my heart
I got a battle kicking off in my heart
There's A WAR going on in my heart
I got a war going on

No, there's really nothing if I know I can't have you
Well, could I be forgiven for the things I put you through?
See, I'm just a man trying to understand what I'll do
See, I'm just a man trying to understand what I'll do, do to you

Do to you

alex clare - humming bird

Take what you need, and leave the rest
No I don't mind, no I don't mind
I'll get this off my chest
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

Come flying in, and then again
I'm not here long enough to pretend that I seem so well
There's nowhere else you'd rather be

Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering 'round me
And I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away

Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away

What can I say, you have to wait
You find it hard to say and to articulate
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be

It seems so clear, I know we're through
Yet all I wanna do is make love to you
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be

Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away

Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away

Buzzing around my head, things you have done
The words you have said
Remember me, after you've left
I'll try but I can't forget

Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Hovering, hovering near me
As I move near, you fly away

Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away

alex clare - never let you go

I know you're small
You're big enough to feel my heart
Surprised myself when I'm? Someone else
Who ever thought I'd fall so far
To pull myself back up
Life can be crazy sometimes

I'm so filled with hope
When I saw your face
I just can't be sure
If tomorrow will be better babe
One thing that you should know
One thing that you should know
Is I will never let you go
Never let you go
I will never let you go
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go

There's a lot of mind who tell you how to think and feel
And a lot of times pull you then this way and that way
If not around listen to what your heart says

I'm so filled with hope
When I saw your face
I just can't be sure
If tomorrow will be better babe
One thing that you should know
One thing that you should know
Is I will never let you go
Never let you go
I will never let you go
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go

Never, never, never let you go
Never, never, never let you go
Never, never, never let you go
Never, never, never let you go

I will never let you go
Never let you go
I will never let you go
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go

alex clare - tightrope

Life's a tightrope, and your standing on one toe,
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
Your bound to fall to the ground below,
Pick yourself up again, over the edge again,
Hold on to your hopes and dreams,
When all seems to be lost,
Don't start to count the costs,
Just go and begin again,

Tight rope walker, tight rope walker,

[Chorus:]
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all, just go,
Keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain
Is that sometimes your bound to fall,
Just go keep on going on,

When all you work for,
Comes tumbling to the ground,
Don't let the sadness fill your heart,
Tomorrow may be a better day,
Lift your head up again,
You know you'll start again,
No matter what may come of it,
You know there's more to life,
I'm sure that you'll survive,
You know what you have to do,

Tight rope walker, tight rope walker,

[Chorus:]
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
Just go,
Keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain
Is that sometimes your bound to fall,
Just go keep on going on,

Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,

The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all, just go,
Keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain
Is that sometimes your bound to fall,
just go keep on going on [x2]

alex clare - treading water

My heart just sank the moment I saw you,
You're the image of a girl that I used to know.
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain,
But every detail of your face makes me recall the name.
Hmmm treading water, I keep,
Treading water.

Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.

Can you forgive the things I do, that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her,
I hope you can't pretend.
Girl you're a fire and you'll find,
That I want to get burned.
No matter what you can teach me,
I'm sure I'll never learn.
Hmmm treading water, I keep,
Treading water.

Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.

If my concentration,
Seems spread too thin.
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over.
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her.

And you're another chance,
To mock myself again.
Maybe you're another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance.

Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
Baby your another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
