Love Is Waiting In the autumn on the ground, between the traffic and the traffic

and the ordinary sounds I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through

I watch as lovers pass me by Walking stories - whos and hows and whys

Musing lazily on love Pondering you

I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell When it's time to walk that way we wana walk it well

I'll be waiting for you baby

I'll be holding back the darkest night Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right

Love is waiting It's my caution not the cold

there's no other hand that i would rather hold the climate changes, im singing for the strangers about you

dont keep time, slow the pace Honey hold on if you can

the bets are getting surer now that you're my man

I could right a million songs about the way you say my name I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again

and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start, neither should I rush my way into your heart

Shadowfeet Walking, stumbling

On these shadow feet Toward home, a land that I've never seen

I am changing Less and less asleep

Made of different stuff than when I began And I have sensed it all along Now fast approaching is the day

When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you, still standing

When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees When time and space are through

I'll be found in you There's distraction Buzzing in my head

Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay But I've heard rumours of true reality

Whispers of a well-lit way You make all things new (4X)

When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you, still standing

Every fear and accusation under my feet When time and space are through

Arithmetic

I've been staring at the sky tonight Marvelling and passing time

Wondering what to do with daylight Until I can make you mine

You are the one I want, you are the one I want I've been thinking of changing my mind

It never stays the same for long But of all the things I know for sure

You're the only certain one You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs One sorry for each star

See I'd apologise my way to you If the heavens stretched that far

You are the one I want, you are the one I want I won't find what I am looking for If I only "see" by keeping score

'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic 'Cos if I add, if I subtract

If I give it all, try to take some back I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact

That you are the sum So you are the one

When the years are showing on my face And my strongest days are gone

When my heart and flesh depart this place

From a life that sung your song You'll still be the one I want

Saving The World

Didn't I tell you everything's fine?

If there's a good and bad we're somewhere in between Often I feel like we're all navigating blind

Could we get a change of pace to set the scene

We could stay another day in this confusion Let it permeate us 'till we can't on

[Chorus]

But while we're waiting we could try saving the world Or are we storing that up for a raining day? I'm anticipating the time when it'll be my turn

It could be fun to try I think that I'll save the world as a fun afternoon activity

Seventy thousand things to ponder today Most significant are bottom of the list Forty five million recipes and ways

To exaggerate and compound the stress

We could stay another day in this apathy Let it permeate us 'till we're numb through

Page 4: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

"Still In Love"

I'm not hanging on your every word I'm thriving on my self-sufficiency

I'm not listening to the things I've heard About me and you

People think there must be something to the way

I talk about you every chance I get But if I think about you night and day

Doesn't mean I'm ready yet

Maybe I am knee-deep in denial Or maybe I'm just trying to move on Maybe I should keep away awhile

But if distance is right I'd rather be wrong

[Chorus] 'Cos I love the way you're smiling at me

When you know it's true I'm still in love with you

And I love the way you're really trying Not to let me see

You're still in love with me too

I am way to proud to verbalise my feelings And you are way to mean if you just let this brew It's a complicated hand that you've been dealing

Time to win me over: fold and make your move

Smooth some calm over this situation I can't get past the way I feel for you

It's the little things that make this worth the effort It's the small, little, insignificant things you do

That make me love the way you're glancing, hoping

When you know it's true I'm still in love with you

And I love that I'm barely coping When you let me see

You're still in love with me to

In love, still in love with In love, still in love with

In love, still in love with you

"Lifeline"

I have this sinking feeling Something's weighing me down

I am completely saturated The waves are crashing closer

My feet already drowned Doing the thing I said I hated

They've been swimming in the wrong water

Now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go

'Cos I know that you'll lift me out

Have your way here Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you

Take this ocean of pain that is mine Throw me a lifeline

Wake up feeling convicted

I know something's not right Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet

I have to get this out 'Cos it's obstructing you and I

Dry up the seas that keep us parted

'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down

But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out

They've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down

But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know, 'cos I know

Page 6: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

Waste Another Day"

Don't you say it's too early Baby I don't wanna waste the day When we've everything on our side

And nothing in our way

We can do what we wanna 'Cos today the world is ours

Nothing gray, just real time and colour In which to whittle away the hours

We could speak 'til nothing's left unspoken We could drive 'til we've run out of road

We could drink 'til we've emptied the ocean But I'd be happy here Happy just to hold you

'Til the suns and planets disappear I could stay in your arms all year Even if that means infinity through If being producttive is being with you

Then baby I don't want to waste another day

I'll shout aloud what I'm feeling Let my tongue be still no more

Now I know that it's the real thing

Just try and keep me quiet about it Oh...

'Cos we could stare until we both are blinded

We could fall 'til gravity gets tired We could lose our love just to re-find it

But I'm just happy here Happy staying beside you

"Without You"

The sky opens up over me and you

And you don't seem to mind that we're soaked through You kiss me in the rain, I forget what I'm moaning about

And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

"I wouldn't be the same without you I wouldn't be the same without you

I laugh at my own jokes and what I deem to be clever wit

And you don't seem to mind that I'm so stupid You kiss me once again, I forget what I'm babbling about

And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

I couldn't replicate your touch or love anyone again this much But I wouldn't be the same without you

I wouldn't be the same

Page 7: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

I wouldn't be the same I wouldn't be the same without you

Without you Without you Without you

Reverie

I'm having trouble remembering where the lines cross your face

Your smile is fading from memory Won't you hurry back and fill that space again?

I'm waiting, watching the water, quietly willing the phone to ring

I suspect this healthy silence Will continue a few days yet, a few days yet

I miss you, I miss you I'm over now, I'm through

I miss you

I'm hanging here just reminiscing About all the things you said to me

Hoping you plan on returning to interrupt my reverie

You're sweet, sweeter than honey tea You're precious and worth more than gold to me

I know I acted selfishly Come on home

I'll beg and plead if you need me to I'm head over heels over feet for you

Gonna have you wed by the end of this tune Well, I hope...

I miss you, I miss you Don't say we're done

We ain't through

Indelible

Walk along here,feel you move somewhere in front of me I can't place you with these eyes for the doubt I can't see

How could someone so beautiful

Feel something for me? Hold me and love me and touch me again

And show me why i believe

That the first time I see yuor face Everything else around me will fade to the background

And I'll be struck full by the truth in your gaze As you work and indelible change in me

All I have and all I am and all I think and do

Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in you

How could someone so beautiful

Page 8: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

Feel something for me? Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again

And show me why I believe

An indelible change in me An indelible change in me

"Better"

Take my shoulder back now Your head's too heavy for me

Please don't come around here no more 'Cos I asked you to stop

And you wouldn't I would give anything to make you better I would give anything to point you to free I would give anything to help you realise

I loved you 'til it killed me

So my logic wouldn't hurt you I know you might blame me anyway

Well I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

You're not helping yourself to me

I've tried all the things they told me Trying to close up the wounds left open by you

And if I seem doubtful, distrusting.....I am

You said you wouldn't do it agin You said you wouldn't do it again

You're not helping yourself

You're not helping yourself by hurting me

Anything just to try and help you see You ain't helping yourself by hurting me Time to let you go, time for you to see You ain't helping yourself by hurting me

Page 9: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

Scarlet

Middle of nowhere Finally you can breathe

Nobody knows your name It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed

Cautiously, lightly Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now

Is the scarlet in your day Even it's real

You can't stay... So here you go

You're gone for good There you go

You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen From months of thought without release

They've taken their toll on you This very moment

Of timid and fragile honesty Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now

Is the scarlet in your day Even it's real You can't stay

"Mystery"

I wanna get your words stuck in my head

I wanna touch your soul with mine I want to always be, be by your lead

Always I wanna know that you hung the stars in the sky So on lonely nights I would know your presence

I wanna feel your love under my skin, down through my bones Your love endures forever Your love changes me

Your love makes me whole, makes me better Your love endures

I wanna feel the wind and know that you're near me And see in the seasons your mystery

I wanna feel your love flow through my veins Pound through my heart Your love endures forever Your love changes me

Your love makes me whole, makes me better I want to know how this could be Yet your love remains a mystery

That's woven all the way That's woven all the way

Page 10: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

That's woven all the way through me Your love endures forever Your love changes me

Your love makes me whole, makes me better Your love endures

"The Thief"

Your eyes are full

Full of the future of us The air changes as you look across

At me in that wondering way

It is as if I knew you before we spoke

Do our hearts know something we don't? Conspiring, converging without giving us any say

You, sing me to sleep Talk down my walls

Look through my windows as I wait You could be the thief

I give the key to

You're ruining me With secrets and gestures and looks

With sonnets from second-hand books Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play

It fits in your hand like water in rain It unlocks our two different selves

And shows we are the same Rather than wait `til I put me out for the taking

You're breaking You're breaking

You're breaking into my heart And I'm letting you

"Deciphering Me"

Friend, it's getting late We should be going

We've been sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours while I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me for i am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home?

Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong? We belong.

Your telescope eyes see everything clearly My vision is blurred but i know what i heard echoing all around

while I am tuning you in, you are deciphering me not such a mystery, not such a faint in a far away sound

It's love, it's love that holds us We will be alright

It's truth, it's truth that shows us If we'll walk in it's (his) light

Page 11: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong? Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? (we belong)

Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining goes to show we belong?

We belong.

"Love, Where Is Your Fire?"

Love, where is your fire? I've been sitting here smoking away making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits, but there's no

sign of a flame Imposters have been passing, offering good-feeling glow

but I'm holding out for waht you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone

some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do

'Cos I, I wana (know I'll) blaze with you So i'm holding my heart out to you

Holding my heart out

So I stand, handing out torches speaking words that are lamps to their feet

Til the tine when you come an I'm whole and we are one and the fire in me is complete

Some tell me to be moderate but lukewarm will never do

Then a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind

That I'll offer you me and you'll politely decline (no thank you) So i hasten to mute it, I'll shout and rebuke it - "away!"

"C.S. Lewis Song"

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,

I can only conclude that I was not made for here If the felsh that I fight is at best only light and momentary, then ofcourse I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm

compared

Speak to me in the light of the dawn Mercy comes with the morning

I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just found? On the straight or on the roundabout of

the wrong way? is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come

alive? Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb

An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

For we, we are not long here Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it

Page 12: Brooke Fraser songs lyric

And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you

Hope is coming for me Hope, He's coming

"Faithful"

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here

But the comfort of you near is what i long for

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same When I can't hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray

And i want you more than i want to live another day And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone i still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right

So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge, knowing you're the only one who knows me

You know me

Show me how I should live this Show me where I should walk

I count this world as loss to me You are all I want You are all I want
