Annie Lennox Album : Diva Why Walking on broken glass Precious Legend in my living room Cold Money can't buy it Little bird Primitive Stay by me The gift Why Annie Lennox How many times do I have to try to tell you That I'm sorry for the things I've done But when I start to try to tell you That's when you have to tell me Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun I tell myself too many times Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words That keep on falling from your mouth Falling from your mouth Falling from your mouth Tell me... Why Why I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind But I can still read what you're thinking And I've heard it said too many times That you'd be better off Besides... Why can't you see this boat is sinking (This boat is sinking this boat is sinking) Let's go down to the water's edge And we can cast away those doubts Some things are better left unsaid But they still turn me inside out Turning inside out turning inside out Tell me... Why Tell me... Why This is the book I never read These are the words I never said This is the path I'll never tread These are the dreams I'll dream instead This is the joy that's seldom spread These are the tears... The tears we shed This is the fear This is the dread These are the contents of my head And these are the years that we have spent And this is what they represent And this is how I feel Do you know how I feel? 'Cause I don't think you know how I feel I don't think you know what I feel I don't think you know what I feel You don't know what I feel Walking on broken glass Annie Lennox You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you Since you've abandoned me My whole life has crushed Won't you pick the pieces up 'Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass Walking on walking on broken glass The sun's still shining in the big blue sky But it don't mean nothing to me Oh let the rain come down Let the wind blow through me I'm living in an empty room With all the windows smashed And I've got so little left to lose That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass Walking on walking on broken glass And I've you're trying to cut me down You know that I might bleed Cause if you're trying to cut me down I know that you'll succeed And if you want to hurt me There's nothing left to fear Cause if you want to hurt me You're doing really well my dear Now everyone of use was made to suffer Everyone of us was made to weep But we've been hurting one another And now the pain has cut too deep... So take me from the wreckage Save me from the blast Lift me up and take me back Don't let me keep on walking... Walking on broken glass Walking on walking on broken glass Precious Annie Lennox Precious little angel Take a look at what you've done Well I thought my time was over But it's only just begun Precious little angel You're my own sweet turtle dove Won't you stay with us for ever In a bundle full of love I was lost until you came Precious little angel Won't you spread your light on me I was locked up in the darkness Now you've come to set me free I was covered up with sadness I was drowned in my own tears I've been cynical and twisted I've been bitter all these years I was lost until you came I was lost until you came And wouldn't I run a thousand miles To be with you And wouldn't I run a thousand miles To be with you Precious little angel Tell me how can it be true That such a gift from heaven Has been sent for me and you Precious little angel Don't you worry don't you cry When this bad old world has crumbled I'll be standing at your side I was lost until you came Legend in my living room Annie Lennox When I was just seventeen I ran away from home To be with all the pretty people To be on my own Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains And pavements paved with gold And I believed in everything that everybody told me Have mercy Have mercy upon me I found myself in a lonely place with a suitcase full of dreams and I soon grew up to realise what living in the doghouse means But everyday I told myself good things would happen soon 'Cause I knew that I was going to be a legend in my living room Have mercy Have mercy upon me (Welcome to this perfect world) Now everyday on a dead end street is where I spend my time The dust has been collecting on the corners of my mind But I've shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn trees bloomed To take the spiky fruit to crown myself the Queen of doom Have mercy Have mercy upon me Cold Annie Lennox Come to me Do and be done with me (Cold Cold Cold) Don't I exist for you Don't I still live for you (Cold cold cold) Everything I possess Given with tenderness Wrapped in a ribbon of glass Time it may take us but God only knows How I've paid for those things in the past Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight That falls from the heavenly skies Catch me and let me dive under under For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes I want to be with you baby Slip me inside of your heart Don't I belong to you baby Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart Come on now come on now come on now Telling you that I loved you right from the start... But the more I want you the less I get Ain't that just the way things are... Winter has frozen us Let love take hold of us (Cold cold cold) Now we are shivering Blue ice is glittering (Cold cold cold) Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight That falls from the heavenly skies Catch me and let me dive under For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes Money can't buy it Annie Lennox Money can't buy it...baby Sex can't buy it...baby Drugs can't buy it...baby You can't buy it...baby I believe that love alone might do these things for you I believe in love alone yea yea Take the power to set you free Kick down the door and throw away the key Give up your needs...

I wish that I could be that bird And fly away from here I wish I had the wings to fly away from here But my my I feel so low My my where do I go? My my what do I know? My my we reap what we sow They always said that you knew best But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed So I've just got to put these wings to test For I am just a troubled soul Who's weighted... Weighted to the ground Give me the strength to carry on Till I can lay this burden down Give me the strength to lay this burden down down down yea Give me the strength to lay it down But my my I feel so low My my where do I go? My my what do I know? My my we reap what we sow They always said that you knew best But this little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed So I've just got to put these wings to test Primitive Annie Lennox Sweetheart The sun has set All red and primitive above our heads Blood stained on an ageless sky Wipe your tears and let the salt stains dry Let them all run dry All run dry... Sweetheart Take me to bed That's where all our prayers are said Whispered silent in the night That's how all our dreams take flight Let them all go by All go by... For time will catch us in both hands To blow away like grains of sand Ashes to ashes rust to rust This is what becomes of us Sweetheart Send me to sleep Pray to God our hopes to keep Take our fears and make us strong Lead us to where we belong And let it all go by All go by... Stay by me Annie Lennox Stay by me And make the moment last Please take these lips Even if I have been kissed A million times And I don't care if there is no tomorrow When I could die here in your arms Even if the stars have made us blind We're blind we're blind So blind in love Sweet darling Don't you know that we're no different to anyone We stumble We falter But we're no different that anyone And all the winter snow has melted down Into a pool of silver water And we're standing in a thunder cloud Dark as your hair Dark as your hair The gift Annie Lennox Darling don't you understand I feel so ill at ease The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free Take this overcoat of shame It never did belong to me It never did belong to me I need to go outside I need to leave the smoke 'Cause I can't go on living in this same sick joke It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist Now that you have given me the perfect gift You have given me the gift For we have fallen from our shelves To face the truth about ourselves And we have tumbled from our trees Tumbled from our trees And I can almost... I can almost feel the rain falling Don't you know it feels so good So let's go out into the rain again Just like we said we always would
