Today Has Songs....

... all from Afterglow, which is about where i'm at right now.

Time

time here
all but means nothing
just shadows that move 'cross the wall
they keep me company
but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothin' at all

i need just a little more silence,
i need just a little more time...

you send your thieves to me
silently stalking me
dragging me into your war
would you give me no choice in this?
i know you can't resist
trying to reopen a sore


so leave me be,
i don't want to argue
i'd just get confused and i'd come all undone
if i agree, well its just to appease you
'cause i don't remember what we're fighting for

you see love
a tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold
to have me to hold me
a token for all to see
captured to be yours alone

i need just a little more silence,
yeah i need just a little more time

for courage to pull away
there will be hell to pay
deeper you cut the bone

so leave me be,
i don't want to argue
i'd just get confused and i'd come all undone
if i agree, well its just to appease you
'cause i don't remember what we're fighting for

time here
all but means nothing
just shadows that move 'cross the wall
they keep me company
but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothin' at all

so leave me be,
i don't want to argue
i'd just get confused and i'd come all undone
if i agree, well its just to appease you
'cause i don't remember what we're fighting for

Fallen

Heaven bend to take my hand
Lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear --

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

We all began with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our backs the burdens
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I held so dear --

I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
Lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
Oh
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

Dirty Little Secret

If i had the chance love
i would not hesitate
to tell you all things i never said before
don't tell me its too late
'Cause i've relied on my illusions
to keep me warm at night
and i denied in my capacity to love
that i am willing to give up this fight

been up all night drinking
to drown my sorrows down
but nothing seems to help me since you went away
i'm so tired of this town
where every tongue is wagging
when every back is turned
they're telling secrets that should never be revealed
there's nothing to be gained from this but disaster

here's a good one
did you hear about my friend
he's embarrassed to be seen now
'cause we all know his sins

If i had the chance love
you know i would not hesitate
to tell you all the things i never said before
don't tell me its too late
'cause i've relied on my illusions
to keep me warm at night
and i denied in my capacity to love
but i am willing to give up this fight
oh i am willing to give up this fight

--Sarah McLachlan
