Basia - Time And Tide (1998) by Basia (보컬) on maniadb.com

Promises
We forgot all our promises
And only keep some of the easiest
I confess I do

Make believe
However small the possibility
But sometimes tripped up by reality
Formality it seems

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

History

We could live our life from history

But there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love
Oh,there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

You'll see---my love

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

How well I know this feeling
Seems that you will never learn
It can't go on forever
But very soon the tide will turn
When it won't go away
And no one else can cover you
I'll shelter you from thunder
Run for cover,got to run for cover
When danger is around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll never let you down down down
If you play with fire
You're gonna get your fingers burned
Now the stakes are higher
Remember what it was we learned
When it won't go away
And no one else can cover you
I'll shelter you from thunder
Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll always be around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
When the sky is falling down down down
Everyday I'm getting stronger
On a wave of hope that's going round
There's another world inside my heart
It's not impossible to turn it inside out

When it won't go away
And no one else can cover you
I'll shelter you from thunder
Run for cover,got to run for cover
When danger is around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll never let you down down down
Run for cover,got to run for cover
I'll always be around
Run for cover,got to run for cover
When the sky is falling down down down

It's hard for me to stop my heart
love never knows
when the time is right
I don't want to hurt
anybody but
can't help loving you
I never felt like this before
I know this is passion
worth waiting for
let love take take its course
that's the only thing
for us to do
We got time, oh baby,
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will
wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new
Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last
How can I stop my heart?
Love never knows
when the time is right
don't want to hurt
anybody
don't want to make them cry
don't want to make them cry
We've got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as...
new
It's a matter of time
only a matter of...
Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last
gonna last forever
We got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you

Freeze---thaw
Slow but sure
It breaks my heart
Either---or
Make up your mind
I'm hanging on
If I counted all the times
You are as sure as me
I'd give you up for someone else
Whose heart was free
When you change your tune
With every mood
What am I to do with you

Freeze---thaw
Freeze and thaw
Don't love and ignore me
Come and go
When you want
I never know
I open up
You close me down
We're out of time
When you show the other side
It warms the heart of me
But there again
It's not enough
To keep my love
When you change your tune
With every mood
What am I to do with you

Freeze---thaw
Freeze and thaw
Don't love and ignore me

Freeze---thaw
Slow but sure
It breaks my heart
Either---or
Make up your mind
I'm hanging on
When you change your tune
With every mood
What am I to do with you

Once upon a time it was for real
Nothing mattered---then we were together
And I couldn't ask for more
My dream came true
You were nearest to my heart

I can't make you love me anymore
Nothing matters now when you are gone
Tried so many times before
Only now I understand
We never felt the same

But I don't mind
I don't mind
A better combination won't be hard to find
Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

I know this empty room too well
I've got to plan my new life's resolutions
First of all I show you how I can survive
I never knew that I could laugh like this

So I don't mind
I don't mind
A better combination won't be hard to find
Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

I don't mind (x16)

Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

Once upon a time it was for real
Nothing mattered then we were together
You were nearest to my heart
Only now I understand
We never felt the same
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind

Hello again ---it's me

It's only here by popular demand

Where there's a hero
You'll find a villain
It is a tried and tested most successful billing
They're in the kitchen
They're in the bedroom
They bring the world inside the home
They want to live in

As we look inside their private lives
It's really me and you
We're watching on the tube
In just one week
You'll be hooked so deep
A dairy dose of soap on the screen

This is prime time TV
A real life drama

As seen on prime time TV
You can't turn it off and walk away

The same old story
From rags to riches
The conflicting morals of a family business
You can't predict it,No
The play's so twisted
Maybe that's the reason why it's so addictive

All the alibis and fake surprise
Will Cecil B.DeMille be turning in his grave
But even so like the ratings show
We'll watch it once again---everytime

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama

As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand

Yeah---yey,yey,yey

Is it a window,is it a mirror
Is it just for entertainment for pleasure

So when it's over we're back to people
Just to prove that human touch can have no equal

As we look inside their private lives
It's really me and you
We're watching on the tube
In just one week
You'll be hooked so deep
A dairy dose of soap on the screen

It's only here by popular demand

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama

Nobody knows
where she came from
The tall and tanned young and
lovely girl
With a voice as light as air
Nobody knows but no one cares
Cause everybody loves her
When she signs
makes you dream a fairy tale
With a certain smile
She can make you feel so nice
Saying gently Goodbye sadness
Still will break your heart
Listen to her once
You'll feel lucky
she was there
One note samba
would never be the same

Where is she now the
lovely girl
With the softest voices
you ever heard
Asking fly me to the moon
I know I'll find her
in the sun of Copacabana
Meditating
Her lonely heart is
nothing new
With a certain smile
She can make you feel so nice
Saying gently Goodbye sadness
Still will break your heart
Listen to her once
You'll feel lucky
she was there
One note samba
would never be the same
Never be the same

Listen to her once
You'll feel lucky
she was there
One note samba would never be

Nobody knows
where she came from
The tall and tanned young and
lovely girl
With a voice as light as air
Nobody knows but no one cares
Cause everybody loves her
When she signs
makes you dream a fairy tale

Your voice that sounded soft and sweet
Your manners knocked me off my feet
Infatuation made me blind
Today I know you are someone else
Than the one I keep in my mind
So now you think I'm yours
And you don't have to try
Seems nothing I do is right
How dare you talk to me like that
If you're not careful I'll get mad
How dare you talk to me like that
Let this be a warning
You made me hope we'd live a dream
But now you make me want to scream
Poetic style turned into prose
This gentleman that once I knew
I wonder if it was really you
'Cause now you think I'm yours
And you don't have to try
Seems nothing I do is right
How dare you talk to me like that
If you're not careful I'll get mad
How dare you talk to me like that
Let this be a warning

Now you think I'm yours
And you don't have to try
Seems nothing you do is right
How dare you talk to me like that
If you're not careful I'll get mad
How dare you talk to me like that
Let this be a warning
How dare you talk to me like that

I'm sorry darling but I was miles away from here
(and didn't listen)
But don't worry---I'm with you
'Cause nowhere else I would rather be
Couldn't live without you
Wouldn't do without you near me
I'm so happy where I am
But too much of a good thing
Never hurt anybody
So let's leave this noisy town
And move out to tread on enchanted ground
I've got to get things ready
Don't delay it any longer
And find a little house in a valley
Where the sun's always smiling
A perfect place for you and me
Miles away
Now you see the reason
Why I'm drifting miles away
(but now without you)
Just imagine a great big world
Only waiting for us to discover it
I'm getting so impatient
Our life could be even better
In our little house in a valley
Where the sun's always smiling
Where we got some more space to breathe
Miles away
When the world gets too much
We'll hide
So no one can find us there
(says answering machine
"Phone again leave your name
Don't disturb our little home miles away.")

Let's find a little house in a valley
Where the sun's always smiling
My neighbors are Jeff and Jill
Miles away---somewhere
Miles away

FORGIVE AND FORGET
Don't ask me to forgive and forget
I'm not crying---no more tears left
How I'm feeling
You'd never understanding
Stop saying you'd like to explain
Don't promise
It's far far too late
Spare the details
Now I don't want to know
Your honesty only makes me laugh
You can't make me love you anymore
Now I've got to learn to be free
And it really doesn't worry me
It don't worry me
You're unhappy
It's something I know
Time to end it once and for all
Can you here me
We're too far
It's too late
You're free to go
Let me now forget
Let me forget
