Don't be so hard on yourself.
Those tears are for someone else.
I hear your voice on the phone.
I hear you feel so alone.
My baby.
Ohh my baby.
Please my baby,
My baby,
When we were young,
And truth was paramount.
We were older then,
And we lived a life without any doubt.
Those memories,
They seem so long ago.
What's become of them? When you feel like me I want you to know.
...They've all gone for sure...
Don't cry.
Not alone.
Don't cry,
Tonight, my baby.
Don't cry,
You'll always be loved.
Don't cry,
Tonight.
My baby.
Today I dreamed,
Of friends I had before.
And I wonder why.
The ones who care don't call anymore.
My feelings hurt.
But you know I overcome the pain.
And I'm stronger now,
There can't be a fire unless there's a flame.
Don't cry.
Your not alone.
Don't cry,
Tonight, my baby.
Don't cry.
You'll always be loved.
Don't cry oh...
Limousines and sycophants,
Don't leave me now,
'Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me.
Is now the wolf.
In my bed, (L)
In my head.
In my head.
In my head.
The challenges, we took were hard enough.
They get harder now.
Even when we think that we've had enough.
Don't feel alone,
'Cause it's I you understand.
I'm your sedative,
Take a piece of me whenever you can.
Don't cry.... you're not alone.
...don't be so hard on yourself...
Don't cry.... tonight my baby
...These tears are for.....someone else...
Don't cry.... you'll always be loved
...I hear your voice on the phone...
Don't cry.... tonight sweet baby
...I hear you fear... so alone.
Don't cry... don't cry... don't cry... don't you cry...

Seal had Lupus?!? QUICK! CALL DR. HOUSE!!! (LOL! Just kidding).
Oh, and I must give production credits. Extremely well polished background layering you can only appreciate if you've listened to it for a couple months, sometimes years. He's amazing, and he's just got so much to say.
An idol to say the least, truly.
This is the song my boyfriend puts on whenever I'm feeling depressed and want a cuddle....
If anyone could take a comforting hug and make it into a song, this would be the song. Did I mention how much I love Seal's music? sighs and whines When's Tomorrowland gonna come out!?!
Seal speaks about his "limousines and sycophants", illusions of the substantive to make himself feel comfort, and as he is away from them, he feels naked to all the realities of living, and it is a sort of confession as he symphathizes with the listener who cries, in a figurative manner, or a literal.
And I'm stronger now, There can't be a fire unless there's a flame. i love that part. acoustic version is so awsum. such a sweet song. used to listen to this song when i was 7 and i used to hold mi teddy when mi family had big fights and mi stepdad wud get violent. love it
Only just realised this! Seal had Lupus as a kid, lupus is the latin for wolf. I'm pretty sure that's what he refers to as "the wolf in my bed", that he fears that what "you've done to me" has replaced his experiences of lupus, but he still is able to say "You'll always be loved"
I think there might be a few typos in this song.. I'm not for sure, but "I hear you 'fear' so alone.."? Shouldn't it be "feel"? And that part "cause it's I you understand".. I'm not sure that makes any sense.
I think actually it's "Cause it's I who understand..."
Someone back me up on this.
Sophisticated, but so so powerful.
Unlike most of his songs, which are generally much more accessable and easy to relate to, the verses in this one seem to be very personal and cryptic.
The best of his more popular works, by far.
The percussion commands such a presence throughout.
