Альбом Joan Osborne

Written by Joan Osborne & Louie Perez

Can you see me rising since your disappearance safe to say
That I've regained myself
Sleeping like a baby still I wonder maybe
If we'll ever
Meet up somewhere else
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
How you walk around with all that
Contempt inside you I'm
Amazed that you can stand up right
Turned up the volume when you heard me saying to you how
does somebody switch from love to hate
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while

(chorus)
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time

If I ever sit to write the story
I'll say something nice
about you when you're dead
Moving like the ocean
safe inside the notion that I can
read if layin' in my bed
I'm bouncing you a message
off the night sky
You'll get it in a while

(chorus)
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time

Yes it's complicated if the feelings faded
still it's better
to have no regrets
When you think about me if you think
about me please
remember that I've done my best
Can you see me rising since your
disappearance, safe to say
that I've regained myself
Crawling like a baby
still I wonder maybe if we'll ever
meet up somewhere else cause

(chorus)
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time

Written by Joan Osborne & Joseph Arthur

I was a troubled soul
I had a worried mind
Drifting from place to place
I was the restless kind
Right there in front to me
bright as the light of day
you saw a broken girl
You loved me anyway

And if I sprouted wings
I would not be amazed
cause faith is a mystery that
rocks me for days and days and day and
I could be in the street
I could be on a train
or struck in some doorway down
in the pouring rain
Now there is not one place
that doesn't feel like home
No matter where I go
I know I'm not alone

(chorus)
I've never been so sure of love

And if I sprouted wings
I would not be amazed
cause faith is a mystery that
rocks me for days and days and day
Oh you can ask me once
And I will tell you twice
No one's convincing me
this isn't paradise
And if I cause you pain
I'd only hurt myself
cause we have a righteous love
I feel for on one else

(chorus)
I've never been so sure of love
(repeat)

Written by Joan Osborne & Erik Della Penna

There is safety in numbers
and people and thins and in big wads of money and
great big platinum rings
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers
in numbers my friend

There are people who watch you in your windows at night
and they follow your movements in the cold fluorescent light
They wait for their moment
They'll get you in the end

There is safety in numbers,
in numbers my friend
I was just like you before
You want somebody to love
Since that day I learned the score
I know how to rise above
There is shelter in power
and promises of pain and in lovers and lawyers
and dogs pulling at the chain
And no one will ever get near me again

There is safety in numbers,
in numbers my friend
You will find me well protected
when you come around today
So remember what
I told you and continue on your way
Cause no one will ever
get near me again

There is safety in numbers, in numbers my friend

Written by Gary Wright

Well I think it's time to get ready
to realize just what I have found
I have been only half of what I am
it's all clear to me now

(Chorus)
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive

There's something inside
that's making me crazy
I'll try to keep it together
But what I say may not happen the same way
now could mean forever

(chorus)
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive

Is there a movie inside my mind
reflecting the love that you shine on me
But hold on how to that feeling
Let it go, let it grow
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning

My love is alive
My love is alive

Written by Joan Osborne, Louie Perez, Andreas Uetz, & Joseph Arthur

I was struck down by your angel face

I had a father
I had a brother
I had a husband and I had a lover
I had a son he filled me with wonder

But I was struck down by your angel face

I was a woman
I was a mother
Woke in a fever from what I've been under
You made my heart beat
like God made the thunder

I was struck down by your angel face

Oh, did I tell you?
Did I bother to mention
you're keeping me worried
building up tension
Spinning out of control
Don't trust my intention since

I was struck down by your angel face
(repeat)

Written by Joan Osborne, Rainy Orteca, Erik Della Penna, & Jack Petruzzelli

The obliteration of your isolation
the complete explosion of your fondest notion
This disintegration is your elevation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion

You're crying, you're trying so hard now
You'll be laughing
a hundred thousand years
There is only one day
and tonight is the night
It's a grand illusion

The devastation of your separation
The disillusion of your constitution
It's exhilaration, it's your liberation
It's a grand illusion, it's a grand illusion

You're crying, you're trying so hard now
You'll be laughing a hundred thousand years
There is only one day and tonight is the night
It's a grand illusion

Written by Joan Osborne, Rick Chertoff, Rob Hyman, Joseph Arthur, & Louie Perez

Floating above you
beyond the naked eye
Blue dreams about you
keep playing in my mind

Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man

I'm just a satellite
so lazy in the breeze
Ready to fly away, I need your gravity
When I run down the path
the turns look all the same
And if I lose my way
your mind will call my name

Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man

Let's go outside to a dark place
Where the kitty cat hides
put on your fake wings
give the moon a ride

When you're lonely for the angel inside
3:30 in the morning is too easy for you
But when it comes without a warning
What are you gonna do this time? You gonna do this time?

Floating above you
beyond the naked eye
Blue dreams about you
comes rushing through my mind
Branded with thoughts of you
They're tattooed on my sou;
Why don't they seem to fade
Is what I'll never know

Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man

Written by Joan Osborne, Jack Petruzzelli, Erik Della Penna, & Rainy Orteca

Tender as a peach
Someone I would love to teach
Started as a joke
just a lazy little poke
Wake up one sweet day
and I could not run away
Ears will start to bleed
No I cannot take this speed

(chorus)
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love again

I was innocent
wonder where your manners went
How was I to know
if would never let me go
Drag it through the mud
will we ever see some blood
You would try to leave
something I cannot conceive

(chorus)
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love again

Take me in your fist
prove to me that you exist
Be as plain as day
watch my body melt away
There in black and white
victim of my appetite
Make me understand
do you want to be the man

(chorus)
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love
I'm in baby love again
I'm in love baby love again

Written by Joan Osborne, Jack Petruzelli, Erik Della Penna, & Mike Mangini

I am a genius
I am a diamond
My pretty tongue gives you a freezer burn
I think above you in three dimensions
Come in here, you can never return

(chorus)
Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane

When you open you open a vein
I see your headlights across my ceiling
you are a puppet of a wish I made
They never touch me, they say I'm crazy
I was born from my mother's brain, my mother's brain

(chorus)
Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane

When you open you open a vein
You plant a seed in my mind
I walk around and I speak your message
For myself I don't know what to say
I walk around and I speak your message

(chorus)
Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane
When you open you open a vein
Give me more give me more Novocain

Written by Joan Osborne, Rob Hyman, & Rick Chertoff

Your memory comes back to me
to stangle me with its sweet taste
See God would never be so cruel
to make me live without your face
Now that I have made you crawl
It does you good to see me fall
Like poison apples from the tree
as heavy as a honey bee

(chorus)
Hallelujah
I gave you away so easily
It makes me wonder why

Moving through you every night
The lovely girls in dressed tight
The angels dancing on a pin
The people we are downing in
Like a needle going in
Into the shining city skin
Oh I recall the moment when you ruined me for other men

(chorus)
Hallelujah
I gave you away so easily
It makes me wonder why
(repeat)

If I die before you do
believe me I'll be haunting you
I'll come upon you while you sleep
to drown you in a kiss
So deep

Written by Bob Dylan

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shatters and the stars appear
And there's is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
