LAMB

WHAT SOUND

1. WHAT SOUND

What is that sound
Ringing in my ears
The strangest sound
I've heard for years and years
The sound of two hearts
Beating side by side
The sound of one love
That neither one can hide

The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round

What is that sound
Running round my head
Funny, I thought
That part was long since dead
But now there's new life
Crossing through my veins
Because there's someone
To make it beat again

The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round
The sound that makes the world go round

What is that sound
Ringing in my ears
The strangest sound
I've heard for years and years
The sound of two hearts
Beating side by side
The sound of one love
That neither one can hide.

2. ONE

Here's a story of lover's finding
Union so deep, there is no unwinding
Tender threads exquisitely finding
Two lives together, one soul deep resounding

Love so strong whatever the weather
Even apart our souls are together
It's you and me, babe, forever and ever
Even apart we're dreaming together

One, one
One, one

Suddenly all time and space
Loses its meaning when I see your face
And I'm wrapped up in heaven's grace
Feeling so safe in your sweet embrace

One, one
One, one
One, one
One, one.

3. SWEET

Sunshine takes me to a place where
I'm living free

Something in your eyes is telling me
This is where I want to be

But I never thought it would be
So

Sweet, sweet, sweet
The way you make me feel

It's funny
How it just gets sweeter and sweeter
Day by day
It's sweet how
You just get funnier to me
In every way
But I never thought it would be
So

Sweet, sweet, sweet
The way you make me feel
Sweet, sweet, sweet
I can't believe you're real

It's so rare to find someone
Who brings on the sunshine
The way you do it
You're so

Sweet, sweet, sweet
The way you make me feel
Sweet, sweet, sweet
I can't believe you're real.

4. I CRY

One day I met a precious soul
Who's words had touched my heart
His poetry resounded so
It tore my soul apart
But when I tried my thoughts to speak
Emotion made my mind so weak
And time stood still for years and years
I bathe him in my tears

I cry, I cry
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cry, I cry
Tears of love again and again

Some people turn to pills and things
To help them through the day
To take them up or down or just
To ease the blues away
But me, I really want to feel
The ups and downs of life so real
Happy or sad emotions reign
My tears flow just the same

I cry, I cry
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cry, I cry
Tears of love again and again

I cry, I cry
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cry, I cry
Tears of love again and again

Gonna burn so completely I leave no trace
Though so many out there would laugh in my face
For wearing emotion so close to the skin
Condemn me they might it to love's such a sin

I cry, I cry
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cry, I cry
Tears of love again and again

I cry, I cry
Tears of joy tears of pain
I cry, I cry
Tears of love again and again.

6. HEAVEN

Soon comes soon
Sweet so sweet
Falling soft
Between the sheets

This could be
Heaven right
Here on earth
This could be heaven

This could be
Heaven right
Here on earth
This could be heaven

Please you please
Mine be mine
Forever
And all time

This could be
Heaven right
Here on earth
This could be heaven

This could be
Heaven right
Here on earth
This could be heaven

Sleep to sleep
Sigh on sigh
On a lover's
Lullaby

This could be
Heaven right
Here on earth
This could be heaven

This could be
Heaven right
Here on earth
This could be heaven

This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven.

7. SMALL

Sometimes I climb high above the city
To see all the lights shining there so pretty
And think of the millions of lives going on
At this present moment and those come and gone

And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be

Whenever I can I go down to the sea
And wonder at how many miles there must be
And all of the people on all of its shores
At this present moment and those gone before

And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free

Sometimes I'm out in the bustling street
Dazzled by all of the faces I see
It strikes me we get lost so soon after birth
But one smile can turn over heaven and earth

And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be
And it makes me float free
To feel how small my life must be.

8. GABRIEL

I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel

I can love
But I need his heart
I am strong even on my own
But from him I never want to part
He's been there since the very start
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

Bless the day he came to be
Angel's wings carried him to me
Heavenly
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

My angel
My angel
My angel

Gabriel
Gabriel
Gabriel
Gabriel.

9. SWEETHEART

The devil makes work
For idle hands to do
He can take these hands
If they're not touching you

And these lips of mine
Would rather turn to stone
Than kiss another now that you are gone

Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home

Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home

I know that love's
A many splendoured thing
It loses its charm
Without the joy you bring
And happiness
Can be an empty term
But I've found heaven nestling in your arms

And now you're gone
Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home
Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home
Are you coming home

Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home
Sweetheart
I'm so alone
Sweetheart
When are you coming home
Sweetheart
Sweetheart of mine
Sweetheart of mine
Sweetheart
Sweetheart of mine
Sweetheart

When are you coming home.

10. JUST IS

What kind of fool am I
Reaching into a world I thought might have changed
Somehow rearranged
Yet here I am
Stepping into the night
Like a keenly sharpened knife
Carving holes in my life

When I know
That

What is
Just is
What is
Just is

What is
Just is
What is
Just is

You see I've been somewhere
Not far away but such a different space
Just to sit in one place
And just when I thought I could take no more
The bells started to ring
And my soul to sing

And I know this

What is
Just is
What is
Just is

What is
Just is
What is
Just is

Chasing the tail of understanding
As it runs through my mind
Chasing the tail of understanding
As it runs through my mind

When I know that

What is
Just is
What is
Just is

What is
Just is
What is
Just is.
