아일랜드 앨범차트 20주 연속 1위, 전세계적으로 2백만장 이상이 판매되는등 화제를 뿌리면서, 아이리쉬 피메일 보컬의 매력을 세계에 각인시켰던 편집앨범 'A Woman's Heat'의 타이틀 트랙의 작곡가이자 싱어송 라이터인 엘레나 멕케보이.

금번 발매되는 이 앨범은 93년 발표되었던 데뷔앨범에 4곡의 미발표 곡을 추가하고,'Yola'의 녹음팀이 새롭게 리마스터링 하여 발매한 음반이다. 2004년 영국 일간지 '아이리쉬 월드'에서 'Best International Female Performer'로 선정되기도 했던 그녀의 진면목을 만나볼 수 있는 앨범. .... ....
I find myself, a little bewitched by you I find myself, a little begulied I find my friends repeating your name Then I find myself doing the same
Chorus: Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my mind
I praise myself, for having made a life alone I praise myself, for working so hard I give my praise where praise is due I'm swapping that praise in praise of you
Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my mind
It seems that I have taken quite a shine to you And its seems that I'm in a mood to seduce It seems that you have read my mind Must be that we're the loosing kind
Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my Finding myself loosing my Finding myself loosing my mind
(Chorus) My heart is low, my heart is so low As onlv a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know The tears that drip From my bewildered eyes Taste of bitter sweet romance You're still in my hopes You're still on my mind And even though I manage on my own (Chorus) My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know When restless eyes Reveal my troubled soul And memories flood my weary heart I mourn for my dreams I mourn for my wasted love And while I know that I'll survive alone (Chorus) My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know
He use to send her flowers To apologise, to apologise He used to say how sorry he was And flash his smile, he'd flash his smile And always she'd forgive him 'Cause he'd mean it for a while And then he'd send her flowers To apologise, to apologise
It wasn't that he meant her harm I realise, I realise It's just that life had taken him By surprise, by surprise At times he knew he'd failed her At times he really tried When times were worst he did his best To compromise, to comprise
I told her once he'd break her heart But that wasn't true, wasn't true 'Cause broken things can be repaired And held onto, held onto But her heart had been shattered The pieces lay inside In fragments much TOO tiny To recognise, to recognise
I look now at the weariness That lies in his eyes, in his eyes And who AM I to lay the blame Or criticize, or criticize He's sorry that he's living He's sorry he's alive He's sorry of the need To apologise, to apologise
Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? You must be moved by something that you see Strains of magic in the moonlight hours Render useless all your earthly powers Souvenirs of childhood haunt your face It must be that they've fallen from your grace
And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes, sometimes
Subtleties betray you everywhere That's a secret you forgot to share Like how auburn still brings out your guilty streak And seemingly it adds to your mystique Moody silhouettes you soon replace With swarmps of passersby that flood your space Your superficial scars you can conceal There are others left with wounds that will not heal
And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes
And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes
Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me?
For you, for you The moments I steal You Know they don't heal The way I feel for you For you, for you The things that I say They give it away The way I feel for you
You know I need your precious time To keep me going To keep me going and to stop it from showing And you know I need you by my side To keep me hoping and to stop me from knowing That someday in someway I'll make you fall for me And sometimes I'll make you mine And make you feel for me The way I feel...
For you, for you The moments I steal You Know they don't heal The way I feel for you For you, for you The things that I say They give it away The way I feel for you
You know I feel alone these days I'm thinking about you I'm thinking about you, I'm dying without you You know it's more than a passing phase Been too long without you I've been too long without you, crying about you But someday in someway I'll make you fall for me And sometime I'll make you mine And make you feel for me, The way I feel...
For you, for you The moments I steal You Know they don't heal The way I feel for you For you, for you The things that I say They give it away The way I feel for you
Forget your things I'll send them on to you All your letters I'll see that you get them too I'll make sure that you'll recieve Messages that your friends leave But please now, leave now I'll call you later on
Go now go now, before my tears begin to spill Oh, won't you go now, before they flood my face For I have not much time you see Except what pride that's left to me so Go now, go now, before I lose that too
Leave the talking 'Till some future time ahead The analysing That's really better left unsaid But may be you could be the one to Tell our friends what we have done But please now, leave now And shut the door behind
Go now go now, before my tears begin to spill Oh, won't you go now, before they flood my face For I have not much time you see Except what pride that's left to me so Goo now, go now, before I lose that too
I'm out of my league I've done it again Can never tell where, can never tell when Just when I swore, I'd had enough Electricity's flying and I'm lit up And I know And I know And I know I know I've been through this before Here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go again, You're on my mind
I want to feel you put your hands through my hair I want to feel a little fun in the air, we can share All I need is just a piece of you time And well maybe a bottle of wine If it's early we can go on the town If you want to we can stay at home and just settle down Either way I need a piece of your time And it's mine, And it's mine, And it's mine
They're widening their eyes They're looking askance They're saying is this some new romance? Others are claiming They knew all along
It isn't quite love it isn't quite romance But what ever it is It's worth a chance And if we close our eyes We can always pretend If it's not love, That's not the end
It isn't quite love I cannot deny But still here it is It's worth a try And if I expected more Life doesn't work that way So if it's not love That's quite okay.
How often have we cried, for love that died Our tumbled pride on the floor So let's take care, of our affair And let's not dare ask for more
It isn't quite love it isn't quite romance Still, here it is It's got to be worth a chance Let's close our eyes Let's pretend It's not quite love, You're quite a friend
Sleeping close in sweetness Intimate in doubt A little piece of rope around To stop us falling out And through the closed curtains A copper coloured light And wine glasses From last night
Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel....
Cigarette smoke drifting up To hanging plants behind Particles of honesty And tenderness entwined Things with you are different now And I can feel the strain What is it that protects you from this pain?
Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel....
With the days that lie ahead me I'm hungry to remain Still I know it's best to go 'Cause nothing's going to change Eyes that held so much for me Are holding things from me now Like the harmonies That life will not allow
Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel..........
The white light on the water The changes in you and your attitude But the changes that I see are no surprise to me Cause you're worthiness is empty Your willingness is a jewel to me Your body I recall Made music of it all Yes your body I recall Made music of it all
With your lips next to my lips The night would be so much easier The day not as hard to face With you inside this empty space And with your skin next to my skin The night ahead could be beautiful Your body I recall Made music of it all Yes your body I recall Made music of it all
And its been such a battle to change It's been such a battle to rearrange My life, my days and the way I feel But one more night to spend with you Just one more night of holding you Though I know in my heart and soul It wouldn't change a thing Just a little comfort bring Comfort from you
The white light on the water The changes in you and your attitude Your body I recall Made music of it all Yes your body I recall Made music of it all The music of it all The music of it all The music of it all The music of it all
Your body moves like music Your body moves like music Your body moves like music Your body moves like music
When she found out she almost died And kept her secret locked inside But it was true And what could she do At first she cried, but in the end She knew she'd cope, and she had friends She'd see it through She'd love it too
Leave her now Leave her now She'll be back on line, give a little time So leave her now Leave her now She'll make it through some how She'll be back in style, with a little smile But leave her to be For a while
She reads what everyone has said And hangs the cards, beside the bed It dulls the ache She lies awake At first she cried, but in the end She knew she'd cope, and she had friends So she was strong And life goes on and on and on
Leave her now Leave her now She'll be back on line, give a little time So leave her now Leave her now She'll make it through some how She'll be back in style, with a little smile But leave her to be For a while
Then leave her to be, for a while Leave her to grieve for her child
I heard music lighting up my darkness I felt the phrase melt away my sadness A melody as potent as wine I let it sweep me out of my depression I let it point me in a new direction Breathing hope on this life of mine
Now who could fail To let it touch the honesty, within them And who could help But be comforted inside
It took a harmony to heal the bad times It took a rythem to release the sunshine Even then, it took me so long To break the silence I'd resigned my life to To break down barriers I'd shut my eyes to Releasing me from all that was wrong
Now I don't try To understand the way it moves my spirit That is why S'pose I'll never know How a subtle change of key Can do these things to me And make me feel, like I feel
I heard music lighting up my darkness I felt the phrase melt away my sadness A melody as potent as wine I let it sweep me out of my depression I let it point me in a new direction Breathing hope on this life of mine
He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray He comes to chase the midnight blues away He's sweet to taste and strong to touch And with his second sight He steals away the lonesomeness of night
It seems that heaven's looked on me and smiled It sent the sun in place of candlelight Tumbled out my wildest dreams Tossed away my worst Has heaven sent a blessing or a curse
He talks to me, but nothing does he tell He talks, but keeps his secret safe and well Still I cannot help but reach for him With these helpless hands of mine So I hug him close and pray to God he's mine
He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray He comes to chase the midnight blues away He's sweet to taste and strong to touch I find myself inclined To hug him close and pray to God he's kind I hug him close and pray to God he's kind
