Maybe you have a lover waiting for you and she's the reason for all that you do But the way you're looking over at me has me believing we could be lovers too Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah Don't tell me your secrets I don't want to know where are the darkest parts of your soul I wonder how you feel in a tender caress and could you bring me happiness Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah Well I may never see you again You may become my dearest friend Who knows, who knows Whether love will grow who knows Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah So I smile at you as you pass on by Cause who knows you may be the love of my life Who knows you may be the love of my life Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah Who knows

In an old house she sits With a book in her hand One candle lit penning her plans Writes I want adventure and I want romance I'm gonna run this world someday Soon as I get the chance Along comes a strapping young man Says just as you wish Madame Here I am, here I am Pretty young thing you'll be easy to love With your wide-eyed stare and Anne Gregory hair It's just a shame you don't see the truth It's just a shame you've wasted your fleeting youth On things that will always remain the same Lovely Isabel thinks she knows so well Why the earth spins and the apple fell Lovely Isabel thinks she knows so well Well poor jaded man you have it all wrong I don't care if you love me or my yellow hair Just so long as I'm on your mind I'll be fine I'll be fine So if you don't understand me It's not because I'm young You see I, I was written in a foreign tongue Well the world didn't turn the way she thought it would People didn't see the change she believed they could So in her rage she threw her book to the wall Hoping from the page the words would fall Well that old house creaked and it rattled the door But from that book leaked one story more Lovely Isabel you thought you knew so well Why I spin and the apple fell Lovely Isabel there are secrets I'll never tell Mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm It's coming to an end now my good friend You've walked a long way Don't look so sad darling I warned you things would not change Still she cried and she cried cause no one cared That the pretty girl with the yellow hair Was lying cold there

Siren 02:33
Siren sing me a song Save me from these rocks The waters are eating my heart I'm being pulled to the underworld I know loves done you wrong So now you keep yourself under lock The waters have stolen your heart And now you belong to the underworld But beautiful maiden of the sea Let me show you how nice love can be If you allow my ship safely to shore I swear only you I shall adore Sailor I've seen many lands And been promised love by many a man Your words are nothing new to me I'm merely a maiden of remorse You won't find love on my shores You won't find love on my shores I'll guide you safely by the light of this song But to one man I shall never belong Yes I'll guide you safely by the light of this song But to one man I shall never belong So sail on safely to the shore There lives a pretty haired girl And I know that she will be adored Yes I know that she will be adored

Did you like it when I danced for you With my lips painted red? Did you like it when I danced for you And came alive in your bed? Cause I tried so hard to be what you desired But you never tried at all to be whom I admired Hid us away in the dark If as they say making love is an art Why do I feel so ugly? Kiss my body, kill my soul When did I get so old? When did I get so old? I never loved you but I love you all the same And you never loved me but I guess that's the game Cause pleasure is knowing the name of sin And still longingly calling out to him As I call to you, as I call to Kiss my body and kill my soul When did I get so cold? When did I get cold? If you thought I was a real woman back then Baby you really had no clue Cause I was just a little girl Tryna be a woman for you Oh I was just a little girl Trying to be woman enough for you Did you ever feel bad For taking something I never knew I had? Did you ever feel bad? Did you ever feel bad? As you kissed my body and killed my soul When did you get so cold? When did you get so cold? There you go with a new one in tow Bet she's as naive as me There you go with a new one in tow She'll pay for what she gives away free Yes she'll pay for what she gives away I paid for what I gave away But you'll pay the most For what you take away Oh you'll pay the most honey Kiss her body kill my soul We all come to know Kiss my body kill her soul Him by the name of sin

There is a man who has travelled many lands He sings of what he sees and the people he meets Through his song you can travel along Across the lines of time Oh there is the pharaoh and his concubine There sits Mary with her lover divine Can you see it? Can you hear it? The tale of the troubadour The tale of the troubadour Smell the spices of the West Breathe in the seas of the East Put to your mouth this moveable feast But be wary not to feed the beast Be wary not to feed the beast Can you feel it? Can you hear it? The tale of the troubadour The tale of the troubadour Oh and he weaves world's words in a wondrous way Listens to what the skies have to say Travel on troubadour Travel on travel on Travel on troubadour Travel on Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah There over the mountain side Stands a man singing far and wide There over the mountain side Stands a man singing far and wide Can you hear him? Can you hear him?

It ends as it began Whenever that was Won't bore you with the story I'd rather get buzzed I know that is not profound but there is not a single sound That would explain the depths of my pain to you I've lost my best years to my fears And now father time owns the greatest regrets of mine Oh father time owns the greatest regrets of mine Spring is in the air I can feel it in my lungs And I know there Are many songs to be sung But not till this one's done Not till this one's done This melody is all there is This melody is all there is This melody is all there is You've lost your best years to your fears And now father time owns the greatest regrets of mine Oh father time owns the greatest regrets of mine The words on my lips and ink on my fingertips All lead to regret The words on my lips and ink on my fingertips Won't let me forget That this melody is all there is This melody is all there is This melody is all there is So sing it in your proudest of voices This is the product of all of your choices This melody is all there is
