Today Has Songs

Wherever You Will Go

so lately,
been wondering
who will be there to take my place
When i'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

If the great wave shall fall
It'd fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If i could, then i would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, i'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If the great wave shall fall
It'd fall upon as all
Well i hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If i could, then i would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If i could, then i would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If i could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If i could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

--The Calling

One Thing

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line

It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line


If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time


Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

--Finger 11

The One I Love

Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow

As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love

Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves

There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel

Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dance floor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

--David Gray
