맑고 우수에 젖은 듯한 목소리로 많은 팬을 사로잡았던 칼라 보노프의 79년 두 번재 앨범.시적인 가사와 정통 웨스턴 포크가 조화를 이룬 수작이다.특히 국내 SBS드라마 [두려움 없는 사랑]에 삽입되기도 했던 러브송<THE WATER IS WIDE>는 10년이 넘게 들려지고 있는 명곡이다.<포크>
Well, I wake up in the night now, And don't you know I think of you? It's the fire in your eyes, It keeps on cutting through There's nowhere I can run to, Can't seem to lose the thought of you I never really was a bad girl, But you got me in trouble again.
Well, I used to walk a straight line, I knew what I was doing all the time. There was nothing that could move me, I always held my ground. But you got me where you want me, And now you're always here to haunt me. I never really was a bad girl But you got me in trouble again
I still remember how it felt When you put your arms around me But if I thought that you would love me I was blind
But you got me where you want me And now you're always here to haunt me I never really was a bad girl But you got me in trouble again
Well, you think I would have learned by now, And I'd keep away from you, somehow Just like a little child, I keep coming back for more. But baby, when you called today, Don't you know that I'll come out and play I never really was a bad girl, But you got me in trouble again.
Could it be that I just called you up that time Cause he made me feel lonely And we, I guess we knew it was a crime But I knew you would hold me right Your love I could never fight
CHORUS Those restless nights so warm and wild His touch was ice Your love was fire
I know everyone needs to feel they're loved Maybe I asked for too much Sometimes I really felt so pushed and shoved But I never meant to hurt him at all When I slipped you would break my fall
CHORUS
Maybe I'm a fool But I just can't seem to settle down Always thinking there's another star Maybe that's the key 'Cause love is never really sound And it's the only thing I can do 'Cause I wasn't very good at being true
And now I look back at all the broken dreams And wonder if I could have changed them I see that it was in the scheme of things 'Cause still, when I see your face I know nothing will replace
Back there in your room, while you were gone I found the pages that she wrote to you My heart just froze, but I couldn't stop myself I see what jealously can do
I see now it's true, well there has been somebody Who's had a real hold on you And here in this bed, I guess you must have held her How strange I never knew
She wrote that you said You needed her to face the world I wish that it could all just be erased I can't believe she could take my place
As you came up the stairs You asked "Are you all right?" "I'd better go" was all I said But there in your room I saw something that I really wish I never read
I can see a new expression on my face I can feel a strange sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I see a summer night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room
Maybe it's a dream come true Standing right along side of you Wish I could show you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel there's something pounding in my brain Just anytime that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room Every time that you walk in the room Every time that you walk in the room
Well, baby what ya trying to prove By beinalone And no one can get through to you Is there anyone home?
CHORUS:
So don't say that it's love you lacked I paid the price now we're paying the tax I gave it all, and I got nothing back Only a fool gives a heart like that
Well, I said that you never gave enough And I know this is true I see now that you never gave it up So you'd have nothing to lose
REPEAT CHORUS
I know that I need you And that made you scared If I'd known how to reach you But I'm giving up, it's too late to care
Well, I guess that it's really over now This is where I belong And baby you know it's kind of funny how All the tears made me strong
Chorus: You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go I thought love was something to believe in Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
I see it in your face in your eyes - when you turn away You think it's all a waste you're going today
I won't pretend I won't say it - won't hurt me bad Won't you try it agaon what ever happened - to all what we had
Chorus: You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go I thought love was something to believe in Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
Solo
Bridge: Don't fight, just hold me tight Everything is gonna work out right I won't beg, but you heard what I said I need you ev'ry day and night
Chorus: You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go I thought love was something to believe in Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
And if you close the door I can't wish you well anymore You really turned me on So don't come running back 'cause I know you'll never see
Chorus: You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go I thought love was something to believe in Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
Like a bird she was wounded A prisoner he found He kept her beside him on the ground She wanted him to release her But he didnæ?° want her to fly He had come to depend on seeing her cry
CHORUS He cut her wings But she could still sing He didn't see he could never stop her heart
Just like in a cage he kept her But inside she grew strong And in some ways it was nice to have a place to belong But freedom called in its own way soft moonlit nights in her thoughts And the war raged on inside that she always fought
CHORUS
Ah, the love that plays in the strangest ways She felt his warm embrace like fire inside her And when the day would break, it seemed her heart would shake But she knew he had her soul at stake
CHORUS
Like a bird she was wounded A prisoner he found But time was running out, he couldn't keep her down So one day he released her Thinking that she wouldn't go But how she was able to fly was something he'd never know
