Jesse Harris "Feel"

1. FEEL

Why pretend that I can choose
When I know I have to lose
I can lose I can lose I can lose

Cause I know you won’t give in
And you always have to win
You can win you can win you can win

See you searching here and there
Looking for it everywhere
You don’t care you don’t care you don’t care

When I look into your eyes
I only realize
You’re not there you’re not there you’re not there

If you know it isn’t real
Why pretend that you can feel
You can feel you can feel you can feel

See you searching here and there
Looking for it everywhere
You don’t care you don’t care you don’t care

-------------------------------------------

2. I DON’T MIND

Don’t mind waiting here uncertain
Watching while the time keeps burning

Once I ran around in circles
Losing wind and jumping hurdles

So I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind waiting now

Gazed at pictures of the sunset
Where I’d been and hadn’t been yet

So I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind waiting now
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind waiting now

-------------------------------------------

3. YOU AND ME

I won’t tell anybody
I swear to keep it a secret
You and me
We can be alone
Walking through a world of our own

I don’t care what they say but
I don’t want to hear their opinions
You and me
We can be alone
Walking through a world of our own

Don’t think it’s only silly
If I go you’re gonna miss me
You and me
We can be alone
Walking through a world of our own
Walking through a world of our own

-------------------------------------------

4. WALK ON

Too late to be sorry
Too late to try again
No way to deny it
Why not take it on the chin
And walk on

One day it was something
Now it’s not anything
No way to replace it
Why not take it on the chin
And walk on
And walk on

Don’t be so sad and grave
I know you’re bold and so brave

That’s life as you know it
That’s how it’s always been
No way to replace it
Why not take it on the chin
And walk on
And walk on

-------------------------------------------

5. THE WIND

Happy but for awhile
The good times were out of style
And April came and went
Colder than it’s ever been
You’d lay in the morning time
And gaze at the ceiling tired and low

Lately you can hear the rain
Blowing against your windowpane
Sounding like a marching drum
Rolling for a firing gun
It once used to bring you down
Now it doesn’t turn you ‘round
You go

And you won’t remember when
You’d hide and the howling wind would blow

-------------------------------------------

6. HOW COULD IT TAKE SO LONG?

In the darkness I’ve been waiting
I’ve been hungry, hot and hating
All the silence
Can’t you even hear?
How could it take so long to appear?

There was water in the sky then
There was water making islands
Now there’s water falling in a tear
How could it take so long to appear?

Some need something they can lie on
Some need something they can die on
All I need’s a bus to anywhere
How could it take so long to appear?

I have no one to go back to
I have nothing on my back too
Just the sun if all the clouds would clear
How could it take so long to appear?
How could it take so long to appear?

-------------------------------------------

7. WHERE TO START

I would have to write a novel
Just to get out all my thoughts
Cause I wanna talk about it
But I don’t know where to start

I’ve been walking through a valley
With a thunder in my heart
And I’m trying not to hear it
But I don’t know where to start

Even if there was an omen
Like the ringing of a bell
Anyway it’s so hard to tell
So I know I might as well start
I know I might as well

I can’t recall what I was dreaming
When I woke up with a start
If I only could remember
But I don’t know where to start
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know where to start

-------------------------------------------

8. LUXEMBOURG

In Luxembourg on the grass
Did you know that this would pass
Oh that this would pass?

In the shade and in the sun
There you lay till the day was done
Oh the day was done

Later on by rolling train
You were going home

Never to be seen again
By the eyes of the lonely men
Oh the lonely men

Walking down through streets so old
To get a glass of wine

Remembering other days
When the girls in the park would play
Oh when they still played

From Luxembourg long ago
Where they went only God would know...

-------------------------------------------

9. SHADOW

Gone this far it’s too late to turn back
Gone this far it’s too late to turn back
And the sky has turned from blue to black

Turned it on but you can’t turn it off
Turned it on but you can’t turn it off
And it grips you like a fatal cough

So tell me what you’re gonna do
Won’t you tell me what you’re gonna do
When your shadow catches up with you

-------------------------------------------

10. I WOULD

If I could wash away the clouds
With a wave of the hand
If I could make the sun come out
And shine its warmth down on the land
I would

If I could stop you feeling bad
With a kiss upon the head
Bring you back the peace you had
When you dreamed in your dream bed
I would

I would forever make you whole

If I could ever tell you how
Deep inside I really feel
Stop and turn and face you now
With a hand upon the wheel
I would

I would forever make you know

If I could wash away the clouds
With a wave of the hand

-------------------------------------------

11. IT WASHED AWAY

We walked out in the snow
It fell so soft and slow
That day it washed away

And then out in the rain
So wet but without pain
That day it washed away
That day it washed away

And all the hours that wouldn’t fly
Finally passed us by

All night we lay awake
And watched the morning break
That day it washed away
That day it washed away

-------------------------------------------

12. AFTER ALL

Weren’t you so strong
That you played with fire
And you didn’t get burned
By your own desire

But after all you’ve said and done
You had to fall like everyone
Like everyone

Isn’t it so hard
When you’re going down
To really believe
You’ll turn it back around

But after all you’ve said and done
You had to fall like everyone
Like everyone

The blazing sun looks you in the eye
When you crash down through the sky...

After all you’ve said and done
You had to fall like everyone
Like everyone

-------------------------------------------

13. IF I HAD NO NAME

If I had no name
Would it be the same
Walking in the rain on my own
Trying to go home

If I was no one
Wouldn’t it be fun
Never caring where I should go
Or where the wind blows

If was someone who needed you
Would you believe that it was true
Or look to see

If it was really me
Standing by the sea
Holding out a rose with no shame
And no end game
If I had no name
If I had no name

-------------------------------------------

14. FIRE ON THE OCEAN

It’s hazy
And way out in the distance
There’s something with a motion
Like a fire on the ocean

Burning, turning into vapor
I’m struggling to find it
But I’m falling far behind it

One day the sky is gonna open
Leaving but a notion
Of a fire on the ocean

Dancing tragic like a tango
The flames have no emotion
In the fire on the ocean
A fire on the ocean
It burns without emotion
The fire on the ocean
A fire on the ocean

-------------------------------------------
