Touch (1988) Crouching down inside a deep ravine,Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen.So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans;Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands. Out of the Shadows You're always waiting on the tide,It's time you decide.I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all.You never wanted time to end,To let my life offend. Steaming In the desert of my dreams I saw you there;And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare.But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed.And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me, has got me scared.Oh why? Vox Solace (1992) Open the doors that lead on in to EdenDon't want no cheap disguise.I follow the signs marked back to the beginning,No more compromise. Into the Fire, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand I knew you wanted to tell me;In your voice there was something wrong.But if you would turn your face away from me,You cannot tell me you're so strong.Just let me ask of you one small thing.As we have shared so many tears,With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life longNow are scattered on the wind... The Path of Thorns Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993) Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide,Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time.The night is my companion, and solitude my guide.Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied? And I would be the oneTo hold you down,Kiss you so hardI'll take your breath away.And after, I'd wipe away the tears,Just close your eyes dear. Possession Don't tell me I haven't been good to you.Don't tell me I have never been there for you.Don't tell me whyNothing is good enough. Good Enough The Brothers McMullen soundtrack (1995) I will remember you;Will you remember me?Don't let your life pass you by;Weep not for the memories. I Will Remember You, written by Sarah McLachlan, Séamus Egan and Dave Merenda I'm so tired but I can't sleep,Standin' on the edge of something much too deep.It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word;We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard. I Will Remember You I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose,Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night;You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light. I Will Remember You Surfacing (1997) You come out at night;That's when the energy comes.And the dark side's light,And the vampires roam.You strut your rasta wearAnd your suicide poemAnd a cross from a faithThat died before Jesus came.You're building a mystery. Building a Mystery, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand It doesn't mean much;It doesn't mean anything at all.The life I've left behind meIs a cold room.I've crossed the last lineFrom where I can't return.Where every step I took in faithBetrayed meAnd led me from my home. And sweet sweet surrenderIs all that I have to give. Sweet Surrender Adia I do believe I failed you.Adia I know I let you down.Don't you know I tried so hardTo love you in my way.It's easy let it go... Adia I'm empty since you left me.Trying to find a way to carry on.I search myself and everyoneTo see where we went wrong. Adia What ravages of spirit conjuredThis temptuous rage;Created you a monster,Broken by the rule of love. Do What You Have to Do Every moment markedWith apparitions of your soul.I'm ever swiftly movingTrying to escape this desire. Do What You Have to Do Spend all your time waitingFor that second chance,For a break that would make it OK.There's always some reasonTo feel not good enough;And it's hard at the end of the day. I need some distraction,Oh, beautiful release.Memory seeps through my veins.Let me be empty,Oh weightless and maybeI'll find some peace tonight. Angel In the arms of the angel,Fly away from here.From this dark cold hotel room,And the endlessness you feel.You are pulled from the wreckageOf your silent reverie.You're in the arms of the angel;May you find some comfort here. Angel Afterglow (2003) Heaven bent to take my handAnd lead me through the fire.Be the long awaited answerTo a long and painful fight. Truth be told I've tried my best,But somewhere along the wayI got caught up in all there was to offer,And the cost was so much more than I could bear. Fallen Hearts are worn in these dark ages;You're not alone in this story's pages.Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying,And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in. World on Fire, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand Love has made me a fool;It set me on fire and watched as I floundered,Unable to speakExcept to cry out and wait for your answer.But you come around in your time,Speaking of fabulous places.Create an oasis;Dries up as soon as you're gone.You leave me here burningIn this desert without you. Stupid I will be the answerAt the end of the line.I will be there for you,Why take the time?In the burning of uncertainty,I will be your solid ground.I will hold the balanceIf you can't look down. Answer Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan (2008) Oh, baby don't give up on us.I know your heart is full of doubt,You don't need to be withoutThese loving arms. I'll hold you through your darkest hourI'll be using all my power,So I can reach you.Oh my love, don't give up on us. Don't Give Up on Us So what are we saying?Our Eden's a failure.A made-up story to fit the picture-perfect world.The one with "I do"s and "I love you."And "we are made for each other."Is forever over now? U Want Me 2, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand Laws of Illusion (2010) Might have been the moonlight,Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes.So wicked and I know I should go slow but it's not in me to wait. Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire.Shot like a starburst into the sky.And the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifiesYou light me up, you take me higher. Loving You Is Easy I've been down a long road;I'd become a stranger to myself.Digging in my heels and hoping time might be kinder if I wait it out. But nothing came from wanting.And I became so small and insecure.Didn't know the cost of all I'd lost till I found it fresh and new again.
