From Souvenirs To Souvenirs - Demis Roussos

All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colours Are all that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they robbed me Of my childhood souvenirs Memories, they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well it took me years to get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this morning Always look the same to me And I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forget the way they robbed me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs Memories they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well it took me years to get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning, in Your sea of forgetfulness The chains of yesterday surround me, I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where You found me And it echoes in my mind Keeps me awake tonight I know you've cast my sin as far as the East is from the West And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From You leaving me this way Chorus: Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west 'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been Rising up in me again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other I start the day, the war begins Endless reminding of my sin And time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From You leaving me this way I know You've washed me white Turn my darkness into life I need Your peace to get me through To get me through this night I can't live by what I feel About the truth Your word reveals I'm not holding on to You But You're holding on to me You're holding on to me

'Cause I'm bringing you back to life Our love's enough Transcending us through space and time It's holding up It keeps you and me intertwined What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it? What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying out through it? What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it? Let's drive into it 'Cause I'm bringing you back to life Yeah, I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here It's a feeling that won't disappear And you're bringing me back to life I was looking for something that I couldn't find It's a feeling you give me inside Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh 'Cause I'm bringing you back to life Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh This feeling's coming back to life Our memories They're more than just our history (our history) They lift me up They flow like electricity (oh, oh, oh) What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it? What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying out through it? What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it? Let's drive into it 'Cause I'm bringing you back (back) to life Yeah, I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here It's a feeling that won't disappear And you're bringing me back (back) to life I was looking for something that I couldn't find It's a feeling you give me inside Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh 'Cause I'm bringing you back to life Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh I can see you in the night Coming through like flashing lights When the world is passing by Oh, oh, oh I can see you in the night Coming through like flashing lights When the world is passing by Oh, oh, oh 'Cause I'm bringing you back (back) to life Yeah, I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here It's a feeling that won't disappear And you're bringing me back (back) to life I was looking for something that I couldn't find It's a feeling you give me inside ('Cause I'm bringing you back) ('Cause I'm bringing you back) ('Cause I'm bringing you back to life) ('Cause I'm bringing you back to life) (And you're bringing me back) (And you're bringing me back) (And you're bringing me back to life) This feeling's coming back to life Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh 'Cause I'm bringing you back to life Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh This feeling's coming back to life

Let's go With bloodshot eyes, I watch you sleeping The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading Would she hear me if I called her name? Would she hold me if she knew my shame? There's always something different going wrong The path I walk's in the wrong direction There's always someone fucking hanging on Can anybody help me make things better? Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come home Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come home The moments die, I hear no screaming The visions left inside me are slowly fading Would she hear me if I called her name? Would she hold me if she knew my shame? There's always something different going wrong The path I walk's in the wrong direction There's always someone fucking hanging on Can anybody help me make things better? Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come home Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come home Oh Yeah This battered room I've seen before The broken bones they heal no more, no more With my last breath, I'm choking Will this ever end? I'm hoping My world is over, one more time Let's go Would she hear me if I called her name? Would she hold me if she knew my shame? There's always something different going wrong The path I walk's in the wrong direction There's always someone fucking hanging on Can anybody help me make things better? Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come home Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come Better Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls, the guilty to come home

A joy, hard learned in winter was the warming of the bed You'd shake for minutes there and move your legs Wrap the blanket over you and keep your head within Let your breath heat the air until you'd feel it getting thin 'Uiscefhuaraithe' The feel of coldness only water brings There are some things that no one teaches you, love That come natural as a dream you didn't know that you were in And darlin', all my dreamin' Is only put to shame And darlin', all my dreamin' Has only been given a name But it came easy, darlin' As natural as another leg around you in the bed frame In summer's heat, I learned to dread the comin' of the night The awful things we do to make the head go quiet You'd press your body to the concrete when you were small The rains of winter seemed to never leave the walls 'Uiscefhuaraithe' The feel of coolness only water brings There are some things that no one teaches you, love That God in his awful wisdom first programs in But darlin', all my dreamin' Is only been put to shame And darlin', all my dreamin' Has only been given a name But it happened easy, darlin' As natural as another leg around you in the bed And I wish I could say That the river of my arms have found the ocean And I wish I could say the cold lake water of my heart Christ, it's boilin' over But it happened easy, darlin' Natural as another leg around you in the bed frame

From a jack to a king From loneliness to a wedding ring I played an ace and I won a queen And walked away with your heart From a jack to a king With no regrets I stacked the cards last night And lady luck played her hand just right And made me king of your heart For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye From a jack to a king From loneliness to a wedding ring I played an ace and I won a queen You made me king of your heart From a jack to a king From loneliness to a wedding ring I played an ace and I won a queen And walked away with your heart From a jack to a king With no regrets I stacked the cards last night And lady luck played her hand just right And made me king of your heart For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye From a jack to a king From loneliness to a wedding ring I played an ace and I won a queen You made me king of your heart For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye From a jack to a king From loneliness to a wedding ring I played an ace and I won a queen You made me king of your heart
