Альбом Ilse DeLange

Beyond blind sight, I walk behind and let love lead the way
It's deep inside, where my faith lies, it never fades away
All that I lost and left behind, I won't forget the tears I've cried
Don't mind the cost for my own fight, lean towards the light

Still waiting, not fading, my hunger is still alive
Not give in, not stumble, the wonder is in my eyes
Not lost in translation, because I'm facing the truth inside
Reach for the light in me

So unresolved, I go alone, I'm searching for a home
I picture me in worlds I've seen, my dreams they have all shore
I know my name, but who's the same when everything you knew is lost
I'm filled with hope that echo's loud, inside of forgotten mind

Still waiting, not fading, my hunger it's still alive
Not give in, not stumble, the wonder is in my eyes
Not lost in translation, because I'm facing the truth inside
Reach for the light

Silent wind, hold my sky, lift me from the ground
Follow you, trust in you

Still waiting, not fading, my hunger is still alive
Not give in, not stumble, the wonder is in my eyes
Not lost in translation, because I'm facing the truth inside
Reach for the light

Still craving, safe haven, a mirror that I can hide
Belong and stay strong and rely on all that I find
These faces, they haunt me I see them deep in the night
Reach for the light

Still waiting, not fading, my hunger is still alive
Not give in, not stumble, the wonder is in my eyes
Not lost in translation, because I'm facing the truth inside
Reach for the light in me

In me, in me
Reach for the light
Reach for the light

I told the sun, not to shine and stay away
I told the lake, to go dry and wash away
Am I wrong? Am I strong? Walk away
Do I know there are no words to say?
Am I yours? Am I mine, anyway?
Do I know there are no words?

I am the only princess, I am indestructible
I am winged victory, I am so breakable
I am the distant planet, I am the golden sun
I am the broken pieces, I am the lonely one

Asked the sky to fall down on you
Asked the night to be solid proof
Am I good? Am I bad, or the same?
Am I bad? Am I worse? Stay away
Is there anything else left to say?
Are there really any words?

I am a flying spaceship, identifiable
I am the perfect lover, tell me, I am lovable
I am the distant planet, I am the purple sun
I am the highest mountain, I am the lonely one

So here's me now, without you
I turn the lights out, without you
Should I be frightened, without you
Always night now, without you

I am the darkest morning, I am the sleeping fool
I am the wandering gypsy, I am right here next to you
I am the distant planet, I am the golden sun
I am the empty canyon, I am the lonely one

The lonely one

The leaves will fall again
The wind comes crawling in
The rain with all its sin
Captures me again
The words it threw my way
Filled my soul with pain
My anger into space
Almost finds it's way again
Questions to embrace
Feelings that you'll face
In this holy land
A desert made of quicksand
Streets that lead you there
Places of your fear
Some force, pulls you in
The shadow world

About the time I made the great escape
I was falling, falling, falling from heaven
In every picture that I drew
I saw you
Falling, falling, falling from heaven

From an empty face
The smile wiped away
Eyes that never see
Blind the deepest me
Act a small charade
Words you can't explain
Silence louder than the doubt
Lingers in the sound

By the time I made the great escape
I was falling, falling, falling from heaven
In every picture that I drew
I saw you
Falling, falling, falling from heaven
I got down on my knees and prayed
I was calling, calling, calling to heaven
Just in time I made the great escape
I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

If you just talk to me
If you just look at me
We'll be all right

By the time I made the great escape
I was falling, falling, falling from heaven
In every picture that I drew
I saw you
Falling, falling, falling from heaven
I got down on my knees and prayed
I was calling, calling, calling to heaven
Just in time I made the great escape
I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

Falling from heaven.

Who throws out the lifelines?
Who can swim the deepest ocean?
Who can trust the sky won't fall?
Who can trust they know it all?

All the whispers that I share
All the moments by myself
When I know that you're not here
And I gather all my fears

And they're locked inside believe
But they're not inside of me
And it's fallen from a trust
And it all resolves to dust

Is it possible to see
With every moment over?
What the reason was for me
Was it love? Was it love?

Is it you who makes the sun rise?
Is it you who makes my eyes dry?
Was it you who gave it all?
Can I trust the sky won't fall?

I have loved and I have hated
I have jumped too soon then awaited
And every time I'm fallen down
And every time I almost drowned

And they're locked inside believe
But they're not inside of me
And it's fallen from a trust
And it all resolves to dust

Is it possible to see
With every moment over?
What the reason was for me
Was it love? Was it love?

So when I walk into walls
Or run out of control
Or feel I've lost my soul
Or I can't take no more

And when all I know is lost
I'm broken and alone
When I am just a ghost
Who's looking for her home
Like faith without faith

And they're locked inside believe
But they're not inside of me
And it's fallen from a trust
And it all resolves to dust

Is it possible to see
With every moment over?
What the reason was for me?
Was it love? Was it love? Was it love?

I've always liked the wind
I stood tall and let it pass
Because I knew there would be silence after all
I was calm

I've always liked the water
All my life it ran through me
I could trust it, I knew I'd always float
And the tide would bring me home

You know I love you and I always will
But you're like the strongest wind that never passes
You know I want you and I always will
You're like the roughest sea, no tide to bring me home
You know I need you and I always will
Am I just too weak or are you just too strong for me?

I've always like the taste of danger
I've always let it challenge me
But inside there was a thin white line
I stayed safe within its borders, I was fine

You know I love you and I always will
Darker then my fears, no safety net to catch us
You know I want you and I always will
You go beyond to where there is nothing left of me
You know I need you and I always will
Am I just too weak or are you just too strong for me?

And who's too strong for who?
And who's too weak for who?

You know I love you and I always will
But you're like the strongest wind that never passes
You know I want you and I always will
You're like the roughest sea, no tide to bring me home
You know I need you and I always will
There's no good in this, all this holding on

You know I want you and I always will
All this trying on my own, I am always on my own
You know I want you and I always will
Am I just too weak or are you just too strong for me?

And who's too strong for who?

Take on this mission, take the challenge, walk the line
No more frustration, liberation, I will fight
This is the moment, still the hunger, dry my eyes
And all the no-s and all the doubts are out of sight
Free of insecurities, I will not hide
All that was and used to be, is not denied

Wait your turn, be polite, miss politician
Or you'll get burned if you speak too soon, what a transmission
Pay your debts, get a return, it's in the favors now
Who do you know, mind the gap, miss politician

The bigger name, the busy traffic, no more time
What do you want, if you are desperate, stand in line
Let's analyze your situation, let's define
Go face yourself and realize all that is true
And don't give up, just stick with me, I'll stick to you
This is a game, not serious, so what you do

Wait your turn, be polite, miss politician
Or you'll get burned if you speak too soon, what a transmission
Pay your debts, get a return, it's in the favors now
Who do you know, mind the gap, miss politician

Take on this mission, take the challenge, walk the line
No more frustration, liberation

Wait your turn, be polite, miss politician
Or you'll get burned if you speak too soon, what a transmission
Pay your debts, get a return, it's in the favors now
Who do you know, mind the gap, miss politician

Wait your turn, be polite, miss politician
Or you'll get burned if you speak too soon, what a transmission
Pay your debts, get a return, it's in the favors now
Who do you know, mind the gap, miss politician

No solid ground, no relief to be found
No promises, no demands, no depending
Silence, no rules, no bending
No mystery, there's only you

I live inside an empty room
That's now inside my head
And everywhere and all around
Only your arms that I feel
Don't you let go of me

No comfort, no words and no ending
Solitude, I am tired of pretending
Still there's only you

I live inside an empty room
That's now inside my head
And everywhere and all around
Only your arms that I feel
Don't you let go of me

The ceiling high, the walls are wide
No floor beneath my feet
Nowhere to go, nowhere to be
And you're still all that I see
Don't you let go of me

Be quiet, maybe you can hear my heart
Be quiet, maybe you won't break me apart
It's all down to you, it's all down to you
It's all down to you, it's all down to you
It's all down to you

I live inside an empty room
That's now inside my heart
And everywhere and all around
Only your arms that I feel
Don't you let go of me

The ceiling high, the walls are wide
No floor beneath my feet
Nowhere to go, nowhere to be
And you're still all that I see
Don't you let go of me

You're still all that I need
Don't you let go of me

The power is in your hands, the dust will fall to sand
Gotta make this land your own
Must feel free to fall, trust will catch us all
Faith calls out your name

When I let go of hope, there's no one left to follow
There's nothing but the power to believe in me
I reach for what I know, when I can't see tomorrow
I carry hope

There is no security in all it is we see
Tomorrow is your hope

When I let go of hope and there's no one left to follow
There's nothing but the power to believe in me
I reach for what I know, when I can't see tomorrow
I carry hope

The wind carries the past, it whispers loud and fast
From days now gone, they never left
I feel inside of me, it's lifting me out of sorrow
This energy's filling me up

(My head held high)
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up
(My head held high)
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up

When I let go of hope, there's no one left to follow
There's nothing but the power to believe in me
I reach for what I know, when I cannot see tomorrow
I carry hope

Inside a waterfall
I'm a crying cloud of rain
Beneath the touch of softer skin
Feel my ocean origin

And the white and blue the empty sky
Painted in my eyes
Black, the night will always be
A star

The gift of love it almost shines
Words from hearts that almost rhyme
Like holding heaven in your hand
Another world, the grain of sand

The earth under my feet
Floating weightless, lifting me
And you are what I'll be
And you are where I'll be

My fortune's in between the lines
It guides me through all time
So all I do is float with you
'Cause you are where I'll be

The gift of love it almost shines
Words from hearts that almost rhyme
Like holding heaven in your hand
Another world, the grain of sand

The earth under my feet
Floating weightless, lifting me
And you are what I'll be
And you are where I'll be

Beyond gravity, weightless me
Endlessly

The gift of love it almost shines
Words from hearts that almost rhyme
Like holding heaven in your hand
Another world, the grain of sand

The earth under my feet
Floating weightless, lifting me
And you are what I'll be
And you are what I'll be
And you are where I'll be

I've heard you talking in circles for some time now
And every word has been well abused
It is so predictable, no surprise now
But I keep listening to you

Digging, dig in, deep shelter, cover
Finding, far away, you
Digging, dig in, deep, deeper into
Finding, far away, me

You're taking walks up and down your mind
You're moving forward and than rewind
You just keep bending horizon's line
And I keep walking with you

Lost inside of you, inside of all I know
Where is it that we've gone
Lost inside of me, is it misery that's blinding me
I cannot see

I watch you analyzing and drawing lines
No piece of paper will clarify
Where you're beginning and where you die
Inside

Lost inside of you, inside of all I know
Where is it that we've gone
Lost inside of me, is it misery that's blinding me
I cannot see

Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away

Lost inside of you, inside of all I know
Where is it that we've gone
Lost inside of me, is it misery that's blinding me
I cannot see

Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away

You're taking walks up and down your mind
You're moving forward and than rewind
You just keep bending horizon's line
And I keep walking with you

Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away
(No piece of paper will draw the line)
Far, far, far away
Far, far, far away

I didn’t mean to be so cold
Like your arms had never held me
Like a story never told
But you know exactly how it goes

Still you carry on with pride
And you touch me oh so tenderly
All the pain you keep inside
Wouldn’t stop you from defending me
Always remembering

I love you
Your love’s stronger than I can deny
I love you
Your faith kept us safe

Between two hearts you'll never find
A deeper understanding
There's no use in asking why
When the answers right before my eyes
And I finally realize

I love you
Your love’s stronger than I can deny
I love you
Your faith kept us safe

I didn’t mean to be so cold

I love you
Your love’s stronger than I can deny
I love you
Your faith kept us safe

I love you
Your love’s stronger than I can deny
I love you
Your faith kept us safe

I'm in the open now, there's nothing
But my mind spinning 'round and 'round
It's throwing me into madness of loudness
Till I can't hear you at all

And not too far away
I know, I'll face mountains and valleys of doubt
Breaks me down every time
For now be still, there are no sounds

Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please steal me, please fill me
Will we always be?
Will we always be?

Now the time has come, overdone
This time I must know as sure as I can know
And listening to the rumbling of walls
As they come tumbling down, down, down

I may not dare to show you
I might just walk away
Or crawl under another rock, it's so tempting
As you're attempting to reel me in again

Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please steal me, please fill me
Will we always be?

Here I am with the desert sand in my dead sea eyes
And I can cry all I want and I can die all I want
I'll even lie if that's what you want me to do
There's no one else to rescue me but you

I'm a lost refugee, old flying gypsy dancer
I got to save myself for me
But I'm gonna save myself for you
I always do

Break me, so I'm no longer
Build me, so I am stronger
Please steal me, please fill me
Will we always be?

Before me there is nothing
An empty space, an empty heart
Reaching for forever
Without a place to start

Before me there's this angel
Who's too afraid to cry
Her wings they have been broken
Help me teach her how to fly

Before me there's an ocean
I'm familiar with it's blue
It's beyond my every notion
I know its depth is true

Before me there's a mountain
I have to climb to see
But I know there will be waiting
A better view of you and me

When I've swam across the ocean
When I've climbed the mountain top
When I've seen the angel flying
Then I can die to heal your heart

Above me there's an endless sky
But the clouds are never still
In every way like you
Do we love the thing we kill?

Can we fight the doubts we keep alive?
Can we overcome all fear?
Is the battle ever over?
Is it ever really over?

When I don't try to stop the sky
When I let the clouds be free
When nothing scares me anymore
And I killed the doubt in me

When I've swam across the ocean
When I've climbed the mountain top
When I've seen the angel flying
Then I can die to heal your heart

Before me there was nothing
Empty space, an empty heart
Reaching for forever
Without a place to start

Before me there's this angel
Who's too afraid to cry
And her wings they had been broken
And now I watch her fly

She is dancing for you now
Watch her twirling in the crowd
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

She is fine
She's filled with grace
Such loveliness for such a place
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

And you're left alone to ask of the ground
"Will you hold?"
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

This world alone is not enough
The swollen song burns and tapers off
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

Where fearless ones go out and play
Barreling through to Heaven's gates
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

Her skin beneath her fingernails
Blood stains tell her sordid tales
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

'Cause night recedes in scorching lines
The city's burning all the time
She is beautiful
She is beautiful

But will you hold her?
Will you hold her?
Will you?

She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
