laura mvula - angel

Still be friends
Is there any hope for love after death?
Thought I was an angel, one day we stopped believing
Screaming "how did we come so far? "
Our love, lost in a shooting star

Cherish all the lessons learned
We can see clearly now; the chapter's ended
Some kind of heavenly meaning; just reach out and take it
And find a way to move on
And find a way to move on

Though it felt like yesterday
We had ahead of us all we could dream of
And nothing came between us, and now we have to face it
And learn to sing a new song
And learn to sing a new song

If this is where we part forever
I wish you the world of happiness and everything you want
I will always remember our memories and journeys
Carry them safely in my heart
If this is where we part forever
I wish you the world of happiness and everything you want
I will always remember our memories and journeys
Carry them always in my heart
If this is where we part forever
I wish you the world of happiness and everything you want
I will always remember our memories and journeys
Carry them safely in my heart
If this is where we part forever
I wish you the world of happiness and everything you want
I will always remember our memories and journeys
Carry them always in my heart

laura mvula - green garden

Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it's okay now,
bath in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls,
take me outside, sit in the green garden,
Uh ah, uh ah uh,
Uh ah, uh ah uh

And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
high as a tree top and down again
putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
walk in the carpet of green velvet

Dance in my garden like we used to,
Uh ah, uh ah uh
Dance in my garden like we used to,
Uh ah, uh ah uh

Take me outside, sit in the green garden
nobody out there, but it's okay now,
bath in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls,
take me out, seat in the green garden

I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go

And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
highs of tree top and down again
putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
walk in the carpet of green velvet

Dance in my garden like we used to,
the dance.
Dance in my garden like we used to..
Uh ah, uh ah uh

Take me outside, take me outside,
take me outside, sit in the green garden.

I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go.

laura mvula - she

She walked to watch you with the head down low
She wondered if there's a way out of the blue.
Who's gonna take her home this time?
She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time.

There she waits looking for a savior,
Someone to save her from her dying self.
Always taking ten steps back and one step forward,
She's tired, but she don't stop.

She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop.
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop.

Every day she stood, hoping for a new light
She closed her eyes and she had a smile voice say
You don't stop, no, you belong to me
She cried, maybe it's too late.

Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop?

She walked to watch you with the head down low
She wondered if there's a way out of the blue.
Who's gonna take her home this time?
She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time

laura mvula - can t live with the world

You can't live with the world on your shoulders,
Your shoulders.
Take my hand and you'll see love will find us,
Will find us.
You've been lost in a dark place a long time,
A long time.
Now I'll find you, I'll stay here and hold you,

I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning,
I'll hold you tight.

You can't live with the world on your shoulders,
Your shoulders.
Come to me, say goodbye to your struggles.

I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning,
I'll hold you tight.
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning,
I'll hold you tight.

Remember how far you've come
From the start till the end
Depend on me.

You can't live with the world on your shoulders.

I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning,
I'll hold you tight.
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning,
I'll hold you tight.

You can't live with the world on your shoulders,
You can't live with the world on your shoulders.

Stay to the morning come,
Stay to the morning come,
Hold you to the morning light,
Hold you to the morning light.

laura mvula - father father

Father, father, let me love you
Saw you wandering in my dream last night singing
Wonder, wonder what you might do
You can't simply hide our dream in the blue

Don't try to fight; don't let me go
You've gone too far from what I know
I lost my heart in the dark with you
Father, father, why you let me go
Father, please don't let me go

Brother, brother, let me love you
Whisper all your deepest fears
You can trust me
And when it's over we can begin
Finally to make amends
Try to save us

Don't try to fight; don't let me go
You've gone too far from what I know
I lost my heart in the dark with you
Father, father, why you let me go
Father, please don't let me go

Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me love you

Don't try to fight; don't let me go
You've gone too far from what I know
I lost my heart in the dark with you
Father, father, why you let me go
Father, please don't let me go

laura mvula - flying without you

He was a boy in love, just not with me
I did not see how hard it would be
To love alone without another
Crushed my heart, I fell into pieces

I was a girl in love
Gave my heart
Lost my soul
And even though
I was not enough for him back them
I wonder how it could've been

I'm flying without you
I'm right now without you
I found something better
I love more than ever
I love more than ever

You were my fantasy
You gave me something no one else could ever give
Seemed like a dream back then
Another story, we were young and innocent

We were a perfect picture
Make believe I could not see it in went
Time and time again you left me there
Another happy memory

I'm flying without you
I'm right now without you
I found something better
I love more than ever

laura mvula - i don t know what the weather will be

(Verse)
Tell me another story with a happy ending.
Cause my feet so weary and my heart need mending.

(Pre-Chorus)
Is it true soon all this could be ending?
I?m not ready for this to be over.

(Chorus)
I don?t know what the weather will be,
Whether we?ll see a tomorrow.
But if today is all I have to live, I'd give to you,
Do what you want to.

(Verse)
Tell me another story with a brand new meaning.
Cause my heart so weary and my head need healing.

(Pre-Chorus)
Is it true soon all this could ending?
I?m not ready for this to be over.

(Chorus)
I don?t know what the weather will be,
Whether we?ll see a tomorrow.
But if today is all I have to live, I'd give to you,
Do what you want to.
I don?t know what the weather will be,
Whether we?ll see a tomorrow.
But if today is all I have to live, I'd give to you,
Do what you want to.

laura mvula - is there anybody out there

(Verse)
It?s too late for me now,
Can?t be undone in me now.
Gone down deep within me now,
Come take it out on me now.

I was young and free then,
Like a child I loved to love then.
Now there?s nothing left in me but fear,
I can see the end is all near.

(Pre-Chorus)
This is the end before it?s even started.
I can?t survive this pain, I?m brokenhearted.

(Verse)
I believed in you then,
You believed in me then.
You took everything I had and more,
Each day I live to give you my all.

(Pre-Chorus)
This is the end before it?s even started.
I can?t survive this pain, I?m brokenhearted.

(Chorus)
Is there anybody out there?
Who knows?
Is there anybody out there?
I won?t make it out here alone.

(Bridge)
Keep on judging to forever
Take a good thing, let it start.
Keep on judging to forever,
Take a good thing, let it start.

(Chorus)
Is there anybody out there?
Who knows?
Is there anybody out there?
I won?t make it out here alone.
Is there anybody out there?
Who knows?
Is there anybody out there?
I won?t make out here alone.

(Bridge)
Keep on judging to forever
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
I won?t make it out here alone.

laura mvula - jump right out

Thought it?d be easy, thought you might know me by now.
But we got caught up in the green water down in the deep.
We go the long way, headed to nowhere, right from the start.
How did we get here, wish I could tell you
I thought we had time.

You jumped right out again,
You say you can?t pretend.
Said you didn?t need me, love,
The grass needed rain,
You was hoping that one day
Maybe things will change.
You jumped right out again,
You say you can?t pretend.

So maybe one day we?ll find the answers out in the blue.
And maybe we?ll get there holding another?s marvelous dreams.
We ride the seasons, soul changing colors, we never could know.
We?re nearly drowning, fighting for something
You said we?d be fine, I thought we had time.

You jumped right out again,
You say you can?t pretend.
Said you didn?t need me, love,
The grass needed rain,
You was hoping that one day
Maybe things will change.

We ride the seasons, outchanging colors,
We never could know.
How did we get here, wish I could tell you,
I thought we had time.

You jumped right out again,
You say you can?t pretend.
Said you didn?t need me, love,
The grass needed rain,
You was hoping that one day
Maybe things will change

laura mvula - kiss my feet

I feel lost and found
At the same damn time
Made my bed, but I can't rest
I got losing on my mind
I got losing on my mind

Dreamt I played with fire
Played with the noose around my neck
But you flew by to save me
And I tried to find the reasons why you found me, I found you, yeah

And I've been waiting for you
And I'd be lost without you
And I've been praying for someone like you

Tried to build my house
On a concrete ground
Stone turned into sand
And I was drowning deeper under land
And I was drowning, I was drowning

Drag my trembling hands
Kiss my busy head
And I will hold your hand
And we can paint our story red, we can, we can paint it
Together

And I've been waiting for you
And I'd be lost without you
And I've been praying for someone like you
Praying for someone like you
And I've been waiting for you (yeah)
And I'd be lost without you (I)
And I've been praying for someone like you
Someone like you, you, yeah
And I've been waiting for you
And I'd be lost without you
And I've been waiting for someone like you, like you

And I've been waiting for you
And I'd be lost without you
And I've been praying for someone like you
And I've been waiting for you
And I'd be lost without you
And I've been waiting for someone like you, like you

laura mvula - let me fall

I wait, nervously muddle through
You found me here alone; I followed empty dreams for you
I wait, out of the folly fields
Don't try to save me now; I wonder how it feels to be free
And I pray, I pray that I would sleep
Sleep for a thousand years there in your arms
Won't you let my soul shine like the morning sun?
Another day has come, so let me be

And if I fall, let me fall
And if I fall, let me fall

I wait, nervously muddle through
You found me here alone
I followed empty dreams for years and I
And I wait, out of the folly fields
Don't try to save me now; I wonder how it feels to be free

And if I fall, let me fall
And if I fall, let me fall
And if I fall, let me fall
And if I fall, let me fall

I can see a fallen angel
as she's turned to flowers and the miracle of time
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back, no looking back

laura mvula - like the morning dew

Our love is like the morning clouds
Like the morning dew, that goes away
Our love is like the morning clouds
Like the morning dew that goes away

Nothing lasts but memories
The best one seem to go by slow
Try to write the perfect song for you
Then I realize it didn't belong to me
It didn't belong to me

Our love is like the morning clouds
Like the morning dew, that goes away
Our love is like the morning clouds
Like the morning dew that goes away

Heaven knows how long to go
We never have a thing to show
Every day seems like the same
Then I realized I didn't belong to you
I didn't belong to you

Our love is like the morning clouds
Like the morning dew, that goes away
Our love is like the morning clouds
Like the morning dew that goes away

Like the morning dew
Love is like the morning clouds

laura mvula - lucky man

Forgive me
I've been a long way from my mind and a happy home
My head is gone
Mercy, carry my soul as one did many far places yonder
Then throw me far out, yeah

Amazing, all the freedom we did ever demand
There's no promised land
Freedom, be proud, our loud and lonely crying veins
We lost again, we lost again

Oh, the wings of time will not define you
Whether or not you find
Looking for peace of mind
Oh, the wings of time will not define you
Whether or not you find
Looking for peace of mind
Oh, the wings of time will not define you
Whether or not you find
Looking for peace of mind

Nothing is impossible
Love is the only answer
And we find peace of mind
Nothing is impossible
Love is the only answer
And we find peace of mind

laura mvula - make me lovely

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

I don't think I can trust you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
We got lost when we went too far
Give back my soul and take my heart

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

Don't want the world
Lose my soul
Don't want the world
Lose my soul

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

I don't need love to rescue me
I'll be all that I choose to be
When the sky fills with falling stars

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

Don't want the world
Lose my soul
Don't want the world
Lose my soul

laura mvula - phenomenal woman

Nobody ever told her she was beauty
One day, she realized she was already free
The color in her eyes was fire rising
She found the light inside, a new horizon

Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies

She battled through in every kind of tribulation
She revelled in adventure and imagination
She never listened to no hater, liar
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire

Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies

It don't matter what people say
Cause they don't know you
where you come from or where you're going
You are phenomenal woman
You are phenomenal, phenomenal!

Oh my my, oh my, she flies
Oh my my, oh my, she flies (she flies, ah-ha!)
Oh my my (oh my my), oh my, she flies (she flies)
Oh my my (fly), oh my, she flies (she flies)
Phenomenal woman
