Sirenia - One by One
There's a river that runs along
Your fading hope and darkened days to come
The lights are fading out once more
I see you falter so lost and blind
I know a shadow still lingers in your mind
But I can`t lead you on, not this time
I`ve been dreaming for far too long
And my dreams all break one by one
I'm still standing, still facing the fall
Will I give in to distant calls
I`ve been watching your crumbling walls
I`ve endured a thousand tears or more
In a frozen moment of time, I see you fall
Only memories remain of you now
You' ve given in to darkness and to doubt
You couldn`t find the strength to cast
The demons out
I`ve been dreaming for far too long
And my dreams all break one by one
I'm still standing, still facing the fall
Will I give in to distant calls
Mike and the Mechanics - Another Cup of Coffee
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As she contemplates the stain across the wall
A nd it's in between the cleaning and the washing
That's when looking back's
The hardest part of all
And she always did her best to try and please him
While he always did his best to make her cry
And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving
But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye
Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone
And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
As he packs away the pieces of his life
They all love him but they always try to change him
That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall
And it's in between the leaving and the loving
That's when looking back's
The hardest part of all
Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone
Don't look back and don't give up
Pour yourself another cup
