So long, Goodbye - 10 years

Keep changing your mind like clouds in the sky
Love me when you're high, leave me when you cry
I know it all takes time, like a river running dry when the sun's too bright

So long this is goodbye
May we meet again in another life
Like strangers passing by
May we see clearly in a different life

Keep dodging lights like a thief in the night
The sun will rise and expose all our lies
So why deny that you and I lead different lives?
The rivers from your eyes can't change my mind

So long this is goodbye...
The rivers from your eyes can't change my mind...

So long this is goodbye...
10 years...

Kiss me - Sixpence None The Richer

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

So kiss me...
Sixpence None The Richer

It's Been Awhile - Staind

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile since I first saw you
And it's been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile since I can say I love myself as well and
And it's been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile but all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile but I can still remember just the way you taste

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's ben awhile since I said I'm sorry...

Behine Those Eyes - 3 Doors Down

you said i had something to say
then you got that look in your eye
there is something youve got to know
you said it as you started to cry...

ive been down the wrong road tonight
and i swear ill never go there again
ive seen this face once before
and i dont think i can do this again...

Theres something I cant see
Something living in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing i can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide...

As you turned to walk away
I saw another look in your eye
And even though it hurt like it did
I couldn't let this be a goodbye...

You say that your sorry
And you say that it hurts you the same
Is there something here to believe
Or is it just another part of the game...?

Theres something I cant see...

Behind those eyes you lie...

Black - Pearl Jam

Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I've tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine...

Fool For Your Lovin No More - Whitesnake

I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold
Im a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control...

But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame,
Now Im moving, moving on,
And I aint taking the blame...

Dont come running to me,
I know Ive done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man...

So I can say it to you, babe
Ill be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
Im so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
Ill be a fool for your loving no more...

Im tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart, and you tore it apart,
Oh, baby, you done me wrong...
.
.
.
I'll be a fool for your loving no more...

Nothing Compares to You - Sinead O'Connor


It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing ...
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
went to the doctor guess what he told me
Guess what he told me?
He said, girl, you better have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool ...
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you ...

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares ...

Nothing compares to you...

Dream - Southern Storm

Time is healing... Pain I'm going through... I'm on my own again...
Pale lights, lonely nights... Minutes are now far too long
Darkness, sorrow... Feels like there's no tomorrow...
Days are hollow... For me is too late... I feel hope sleeps away...
Haven't time to say Something that I never thought I would...

Was to open hearted and now I see... I regret you meant something to me...
With stream of life my dreams will flow... Fragile as they always were...

And I'm feeling... Time is healing wounds... I'm on my own again...
Pale lights lonely nights... Minutes are now far too long...

Now I see,,, What you fake and what is real,,,You blinded me
I'm falling with my broken dreams..

...all we are is dust in the wind...

"Dust in the Wind" is a hit single released by the American progressive rock band Kansas in 1977. It peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of February 18, 1978, making it Kansas' only top ten Billboard Hot 100 charting single. Written by Kerry Livgren, it was one of the band's first acoustic tracks; its slow melody and melancholy lyrics differ from their other hits, such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "The Wall". The song's instrumental bridge contains a distinctive and highly memorable melodic line for solo viola played by Robby Steinhardt.

Soprano and Broadway star Sarah Brightman covered this song on her 1999 album Eden.
The Scorpions included a live version of "Dust In The Wind" on their 2001 CD Acoustica.
Metalium included the song as the bonus track on the Live-CD packaged with their 2001 DVD/Video release titled Metalian Attack.

References in popular culture:
"Dust in the Wind" is featured in an episode of The Simpsons in which Bart realizes he is not a child anymore.
It was featured in the 2003 movie Old School where it was sung by Will Ferrell character in Blue's funeral, and at the end of the movie Blue sang the song while playing a piano in the sky.
