Lady, you come across the water,
Well don't you think you oughta?
Be waiting a while,
Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,
Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha, flying away.

'Cause there's nowhere to go,
Though the road is out stretching before you,
And the farther you go,
I said,
Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
I said,
Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us,
And you like what you feel, but
I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, oh-no

Oh-la-la-la-la *4 Arrgh *3

Mister, you better get a move on
You better get a fix on,
Mmm-you better walk straight.
I said Lady, oh just take me if you want me, oh,
Take me as you find me,
Oh, I'm needing your love so bad *3

And there's nowhere to go,
Though the road is out stretching before you,
And the farther you go,
I said,
Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
I said,
Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-
And you know just who you are
And you know that there's something between us, and,
You like what you feel, but,
I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
But,
I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-
And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, sad, sad, sad.
(Takin' the long way, and no turning back

    I love this one written by Roger Hodgson. Its about a man who keeps telling the girl that he loves her and that she shouldnt follow him in life. But the girl continues because she longs for him, and so does he. In the end they cant turn their backs on each other as they commit to seeing each other to whatever end.

    Mister, you better get a move on You better get a fix on, Mmm-you better walk straight. I said Lady, oh just take me if you want me, oh, take me as you find me, Oh, I'm needing your love so bad

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
