ben harper - alone
this empty room it fills my mind
freedom it leaves me confined
every single bone has cracked
but in this life you can't turn back
i don't want to live
i don't want to live alone
as these words part with my tongue
i question why they're even sung
i promise but i lie
i don't even know myself inside
i don't want to be
i don't want to be here alone
today and tomorrow have become one
every single thing has become none
human nature is a beast
what i've done the most to show i have the least
please don't leave me here
don't you leave me alone
ben harper - dirty little lover
She loves almost as good as she lies
She pretends almost as hard as she tries
Desperation, she wears it so well
Flips on her electric light like ringing a bell
She's the kind of woman only a town like this could produce
Just mean enough to hang a man
Just kind enough to cut the noose
Reached into her purse to pull out her disguise
Put it on her lips and she put it on her eyes
A little lonesome would do her some good
She'd only come out at night if she could
She does it the hard way
Or she don't do it at all
Dirty little lover, who you gonna call?
She's her daddy's karma
And her mother's suit of armor
The bright light in a man's dark eyes
Saved all of her money wasting all of her time
She's the kind of woman
Only a town like this could produce
Just mean enough to hang a man
Just kind enough to cut the noose
She does it the hard way
Or she don't do it at all
Dirty little lover, who you gonna call?
ben harper - diamonds on the inside
I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.
She couldnt spend one day alone
But she couldnt be satisfied.
When you have everything,
You have everything to lose.
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use.
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune that you need.
So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give,everytime
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Like the soldier long standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief.
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief.
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
ben harper - another lonely day
Yes indeed i'm alone again
And here comes emptiness crashing in
It's either love or hate
I can't find in between
Cause i've been with witches
And i have been with a queen
It wouldn't have worked out any way
So now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
Wish there was something
I could say or do
I can resist anything
But temptation from you
But i'd rather walk alone
Than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself
Than let you drag me down
It wouldn't have worked out any way
And now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
Yesterday seems like a life ago
Cause the one i love
Today i hardly know
You i held so close in my heart oh dear
Grow further from me
With every fallen tear
It wouldn't have worked out any way
So now it's just another lonely day
Further along we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
ben harper - amen omen
What started as a whisper,
Slowly turned in to a scream.
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen.
I don't know where you came from
And I dont know where you've gone.
Old friends become old strangers
Between darkness and the door
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?
I still hear you saying
"All of life is chance,
And is sweetest,is sweetest when at a glance"
But I live,
I live a hundred lifetimes in a day.
But I die a little
In every breath I take.
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?
I listen to a whisper,
Slowly drift away.
Silence is a loudest,
Parting word you never say.
I put I put your world
Into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains.
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?
Amen omen,can i find the strength within
ben harper - burn one down
Let us burn one
from end to end
and pass it over
to me my friend
burn it long, we'll burn it slow
to light me up before I go
if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down
my choice is what I choose to do
and if I'm causing no harm
it shouldn't bother you
your choice is who you choose to be
and if you're causin' no harm
then you're alright with me
if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down
herb the gift from the earth
and what's from the earth
is of the greatest worth
so before you knock it try it first
you'll see it's a blessing
and not a curse
if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down
ben harper - waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
Never found anything else to do
But waiting for you
I've been calling your name
Never found anything else the same
Nothing's the same
chorus:
You can kill a lot of time
If you really put your mind to it
Or leave it all behind
And never go through it
I keep hearing your name
Nothing else sounds the same
As hearing your name
chorus
I've been hoping for you
What else can i do
But keep hoping for you
chorus
What else can i do
Keep waiting for you
ben harper - beautiful boy
Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean
ben harper - gold to me
You look like gold to me
and I'm not too blind to see
you look like gold
you make me wanna sing
with all the joy you bring
you look like gold
like the rays down from the sun
when a new day has just begun
you look like gold
I've been fooled before
but now I know
I've made the mistake in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass
not the kind of gold you wear
but the kind that can feel my care
you look like gold
some shine when the day is new
but fade when the day is through
but you look like gold
I've been wrong before
but now I know
I've made mistakes in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass
you look like gold to me
and I'm down on bending knees
you look like gold
and I just want you to know
to me you mean so much more
than all the gold
you look like gold
ben harper - touch from your lust
I need to sleep but I'm too tired
I need to come down but I'm too wired
When the sun comes up I miss the moon
Cause I know tomorrow is gonna come too soon
Is gonna come too soon
She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your lust
Scars on your back tell where you've been
But I'll roll like the ocean if you'll blow like the wind
Sweet Texas angel what have your blue eyes seen
I'll be your country gentleman
If you will be my Mason-Dixon Queen
Queen
She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your lust
So much sweeter than all the rest
You're what lies between pain and death
Sinners and saints call you by name
If you're gonna take the praise
You're gonna have to learn to take the blame
She only wants to be wanted
But time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your
She only wants to be wanted
Time crumbles blue roses to dust
Now I long to feel the touch from your lust
ben harper - suzie blue
Won't you sing me the blues
Won't you sing me the blues
Sing me something my heart can use; misery loves a symphony
Does your face, your pretty face get lost in a crowd?
And you say no one's there
To hear you cry out loud
What will you do, Suzie Blue?
Where did you learn to do that so well?
Where did you learn to do that so well?
I guess that would be like kiss and tell
If it's a secret, why did you show me?
But your far away from the love you used to hold, don't sit and watch your self
grow old
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
Real life has let you down
Real life has let you down
Someone stripped the jewel from your crown
Everybody owes somebody something
Kissing from heaven in your arms
And we'll make love to the memories
They will always see us through, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
ben harper - dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and your charms
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream
Dream dream dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream
I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away
I need you so I could die
I love you so that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream
Dream dream dream
ben harper - high tide or low tide
In high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your friend.
In high tide or in low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.
(I heard her praying, praying, praying)
I said, I heard my mother,
She was praying (praying, praying, praying)
And the words that she said (the words that she said),
They still linger in my head (lingers in my head),
She said, "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection,
Got, guide and protect us,
When we're wrong, please correct us.
(when we're wrong, correct us).
And stand by me." yeah!
In high seas or in low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend,
He said, "I'm gonna be your friend."
And, baby, in high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.
I said I heard my mother,
She was crying' (I heard her crying'), yeah! (crying', crying'),
And the tears that she shed (the tears that she shed)
They still linger in my head (lingers in my head)
She said: "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection,
Got, guide and protect us,
When we're wrong, (when we're wrong), correct us.
And in high seas or low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your friend.
Said, high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.
ben harper - having wings
I heard a street singer play a song I knew
It brought me closer to you
I heard a street singer play a song I call my own
It brought me to my childhood home
Did you go back from where you came?
If I get there, will they have my name?
If they don't, I'll only have myself to blame
For all these things, true happiness is having wings
Life is a blurry-eyed, heavy-hearted whirlwind of a storm
Some things just hurt too much to cry
Memories are like shadows the light won't make disappear
I still see you smiling with your eyes
Did you go back from where you came?
If I get there, will they have my name?
If they don't, I'll only have myself to blame
For all these things, true happiness is having wings
ben harper - forever
Not talkin' 'bout a year
no not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
in my life anymore
forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
People spend so much time
every single day
runnin' 'round all over town
givin' their forever away
but no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
Like a handless clock with numbers
an infinite of time
no not the forever found
only in the mind
forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
