Lyrics for Clouds with Silver

Come Back Down

You’ve been waiting For something that you’ll never find again In everything you do, you know it’s up to you to make it work, this time So much sorrow, you’ve set your sights too high once again

When you were standing tall, you know you’re bound to fall and that’s a fact

You’ve been holding On for too long Lost all reason in your mind All the feelings Lose their meaning Don’t you think now that it’s time You come back down again

You come back down again

They’ve been saying, ‘don’t you think it’s time that you’ve moved on’
But when you look inside, an emptiness is all that’s left behind

You’ve been holding On for too long Lost all reason in your mind All the feelings Lose their meaning Don’t you think now that it’s time You come back down again

You come back down again

Come back down again To where you were before You’ll be fine and then Find what you’re looking for

Oh oh oh

You’ve been holding On for too long Lost all reason in your mind All the feelings Lose their meaning Don’t you think now that it’s time You come back down again You come back down again You come back down again

You come back down again…

NY Song

Been walking these streets, been heading downtown Been full of regrets, too late for them now And though I may say I’m alright, from time to time

Still hiding the pain I’ve been feeling inside

I’m here on my own Alone in the night Know that I’ve grown And I’ll be alright I’ll never know why it went wrong

I’ll just keep singing my new york song

Stopping at Steinway, meeting my friends Too late to go back home, to make amends I know that I’ll miss you sometimes, in my mind

I’m trying to get lost in this perfect sky

I’m here on my own Alone in the night Know that I’ve grown And I’ll be alright Will never know why things went wrong

I’ll just keep singing my new york song

I know that I changed Go back if I could Words on the line were misunderstood Finding a place where I belong

For now I’m singing my new york song

Doesn’t matter where I go Doesn’t matter what I do And though I may say I’m alright from time to time

Still hiding the pain I’ve been feeling inside

I’m here on my own Alone in the night Know that I’ve grown And I’ll be alright Will never know why things went wrong

I’ll just keep singing my new york song

I know that I changed Go back if I could Words on the line were misunderstood Finding a place where I belong

For now I’m singing my new york song

Call Me

Do you wish there are things that you could change? Couldn’t find it in your heart to feel the same The light is fading now behind the trees

It’s when a loneliness drifts over me

Are you on your own tonight then call me Are you on your own tonight then call me Are you on your own tonight then call me

Then call me

I know it doesn’t mean that we’re in love But just your touch tonight would be enough

Don’t wanna talk about the past

And all the things that never last Are you on your own tonight then call me Are you on your own tonight then call me Are you on your own tonight then call me Then call me tonight

Then call me.tonight..

Makes Your Heart Sing

I

s there someone that you long for Now that someone isn’t me Got to try and stop believing

If it wasn’t meant to be

And I’m trying so very hard to be so very strong
Now I’m not the one who makes your heart sing

Is there someone that you’re holding When the night falls, keeps you warm Is there something that you’re hiding Deep inside you, keeps you safe from harm And I know it’s been so long but time don’t mean a thing

When you’ve lost that one who makes your heart sing

Do you listen to the same shows that we used to on the radio
When you’re driving down the same streets, all the places we used to go

And I hope I’ll be alright Now that love has gone

Then I’ll find the one who makes me heart sing 

And I wish you all the love in the world, for all time And I’ll miss all of those days more than I did when you were mine

Never Was a Yesterday

Yeah ok, I will act like we never met Yeah ok, I will try hard to forget Yeah ok, we don’t have to talk about it now

Yeah ok, cos I’ll be moving on somehow

Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a smile upon your face Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a heart that had to break Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a price we had to pay Like there never was Like there never was

Like there never was a yesterday

Yeah ok, I will act like you never cared Yeah ok, there were dreams that we never shared Yeah ok, I just find it hard to let it go

But ok cos I guess that you’ll never know

Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a smile upon your face Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a heart that had to break Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a price we had to pay

Like there never was

Something real, something true That felt so right I guess all the time, I’d been living life Like there never was Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

Oh

Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a smile upon your face Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a heart that had to break Like there never was a yesterday Like there never was a price we had to pay

Like there never was  a yesterday…

When You Come Home You followed a path You travelled the world Losing sight of who you were You did as you please Although you were ‘owned’ Dismissing those who cared the most But you forgot that luck can turn

You forgot all those you hurt

When you come home what will you do
Now that your friends are gone there’s noone you’re talking to
And when you cry noone will hear Now there’s nowhere to turn and you’re left standing here When you come home, when you come home

When you come home, when you come home

Consumed in a world That just didn’t care Illusions fade and dreams can disappear And there were so many you left behind Now it’s too late to try and put it right You forgot that looks can fade

You forgot the plans we made

When you come home what will you do
Now that your friends are gone there’s noone you’re talking to
And when you cry noone will hear Now there’s nowhere to turn and you’re left standing here When you come home, when you come home

When you come home, when you come home

You forgot about your peace of mind Now there’s nothing left, nothing more you can hide behind

When you come home

You forgot that luck can turn You forgot all those you hurt When you come home what will you do

Now that your friends are gone there’s noone you’re talking to

And when you cry noone will hear Now there’s nowhere to turn and you’re left standing here When you come home, when you come home

When you come home, when you come home

Live Your Life

You hold onto something Though you know it’s not right Before you know it, forever’s flown by And scared of the future And all that it brings

You tiptoe through life and lose everything

But nothing is as it seems
Don’t ever stop chasing your dreams

Live your life Don’t ever choose to hide Don’t let nothing stand in your way But take your time All that you long to find

Could be out there and be yours someday

Promises broken You take thing to heart

You want to move on but don’t know how to start

Failure is nothing new
You can’t control all that happens to you

And don’t you care We all know life’s unfair Sometimes, but just let it go And don’t you cry Or let your life pass by

Too fast, it’s all you have

Live your life Don’t ever choose to hide Don’t let nothing stand in your way And don’t you care We all know life’s unfair Sometimes but just let it go
© Lisa Redford 2008 Here Alone It’s a dark and lonely sound

That I hear, when noone’s around

It’s a world I left behind

It’s the peace I cannot find

It’s the words I couldn’t say Can’t believe it turned this way There’s a light you’ll never see

Now you don’t have the time for me

I know it all takes time To let go of what was mine And now it seems to me I’ll always be, here alone

Here alone

It’s the fear inside of me Takes my soul and never leaves There’s a wound that doesn’t heal

From a touch I cannot feel

I know it all takes time To let go of what was mine And now it seems to me I’ll always be, here alone I’ll always be, here alone Here alone Here alone © Lisa Redford 2008

The Boy Who…

He ain’t nobody special
He ain’t noone you’d know
He ain’t even around here now Playing his one man show But I just can’t forget him No matter how hard I try They say that time is a healer but It passes slowly by

Passes slowly by

He’s just the boy who broke my heart Just the one who tore it apart Just the one I thought I’d be loving for life He’s the just the boy I see at night When I lay down and close my eyes Just the boy who broke my

Boy who broke my heart

Every night is the same dream And I can still see his face Lost in the eyes that were searching mine A love I can’t replace

It’s a love I can’t replace

He’s just the boy who broke my heart Just the one who tore it apart Just the one I thought I’d be loving for life He’s the just the boy I see at night When I lay down and close my eyes Just the boy who broke my

Boy who broke my heart

Wake up every morning to the sound of his voice oh
And though I’ll never see him again, it’s like I have no choice

He’s just the boy who broke my heart Just the one who tore it apart Just the one I thought I’d be loving for life He’s the just the one I see every night When I lay down and close my eyes Just the boy who broke my Boy who broke my heart

Oh oh oh oh

He ain’t nobody special
He ain’t noone you’d know
He ain’t even around here now Playing his one man show

New Years Day

You walk on winter’s frozen ground The trees are bare, a storm surrounds Thrown away all that you had See the frost on mistletoe, The burning embers watch them go Believe that good comes out of bad

And don’t you feel sad

And chase the demons from your mind You can leave them all behind You don’t have to feel this way Just believe you will be fine

Take my hand on New Years Day and say – you’re gonna change

And so another year has passed These hollow feelings will not last Give them up now you should try Pain is something you don’t need Lose yourself in errant dreams Close the wounds and leave to dry

Cos you can’t turn back time

And chase the demons from your mind You can leave them all behind You don’t have to feel this way Just believe you will be fine

Take my hand on New Years Day and say – you’re gonna change

Pull away the layers, see what lies within You can try and reinvent, be somebody new

Don’t waste your time, on answers you can’t find….

And chase the demons from your mind You can leave them all behind You don’t have to feel this way Just believe you will be fine Take my hand on New Years Day and say

It’s New Years Day just say – you’re gonna change

You’re gonna change
You’re gonna change
You’re gonna change © Lisa Redford 2008

Time to Grow

She said, I need time to grow And this, this is all I know I’ve been racing through the alleys Racing through the fields in my mind

This is all that I have done today, but it’s enough

She said, life isn’t all I planned Sometimes life is out of your hands We’re all racing through the alleys Racing through the fields in our mind

This is all that we can do today, but it’s enough

But it’s enough…
