GIVING YOU BACK YOUR LOVE - MEIRA LOOM
(Giving you back your love
I’m giving you back your love now
I’m giving you back your love
I’m giving it back)
Baby, baby, baby, sweet babe, you’ve been holding on too long
I’ve been thinking, thinking ‘bout us, so please don’t get me wrong
Baby, baby, sweet-lovin’ babe, we should turn back from this thing
I’ve been thinking, thinking ‘bout it, we cannot grasp and cling
In that small cellar-room we exchanged our hearts
I lay mine at your feet and I dropped my guard
The aftershock is painful so I’m begging you:
Gimme back my love!
(Giving you back your love - no way!
I’m giving you back your love now
I’m giving you back your love - no way!
I’m giving it back)
Danger, danger, sweet danger babe, your coolness made me boil
You were freedom, knowledge and lust – unlike those little boys
Baby, baby, sweet danger babe, with those James Dean eyes
We were shocking, rocking and rolling but always in disguise
You caught me in your net like I was a wispy butterfly
I was young and unconsumed and in search of stimuli
We both crossed the line – but now I’m here to rewind
And give you back your love
(Giving you back your love - no way!
I’m giving you back your love now
I’m giving you back your love
I’m giving it back – no way!)
Baby, baby, breakable baby, I apologize
I was mourning, mourning bout us but at last I compromised
Baby, baby, baby, sweet babe, I ain’t the one who’s to blame
I’d been trying, trying so long but still we lost the game
Baby, baby, baby, sweet babe, I got something to confess
You’ve been haunting, haunting me since you became my ex
Baby, baby, baby, sweet babe, is it you or is it me?
I’ve been running, running away but still I can’t get free
It’s plain to see now that we are both turning grey
I have been the culprit as much as the prey
Now I close the line for all time
and give you back your love
(Giving you back your love
Giving you back your love – no way!
Giving you back your love
I’m giving it back)
I’m giving you back your love right now

NICE TO MEET YOU AGAIN - MEIRA LOOM
Sitting in the backyard by the water
Tryin’ to keep the bugs away
The chatter of the crickets stirs the darkness
The prying eyes find out my hideaway
And then just when I decide I need to pull back
And climb the stairs back to my room
You appear from the gloom
Really nice to meet you again
Really nice to meet you again
Oh, I think it’s really nice to meet you again
So nice to meet you again
Together we sneak out of our hotel
And roam the night against all odds
They told us not to mingle with the sinners
But tonight we’re kids and have no doubts
And suddenly I see you with young eyes
In this foreign land, we have found home
We are back in my childhood zone
Really nice to meet you again
It’s really nice to meet you again
Oh, I think it’s really nice to meet you again
So nice to meet you again
Dadadada…
And suddenly I see you with young eyes
In this foreign land, we have found home
We are back in my childhood zone
Really nice to meet you again
It’s really nice to meet you again
Oh, I think it’s really nice to meet you again
So nice to meet you again
Oh, I think it’s really nice to meet you again
So nice to meet you again
Oh, I think it’s really nice, it’s really nice to meet you
So nice to meet you again
Dadadada…

UNDERTOW - MEIRA LOOM
Doorkeeper, will you take the bribe?
I forgot the code, but I gotta get outside
Found the perfect place to hide
But now I’m lost
So long under water, can’t recall my name
Need to get back home and see what’s changed
Every part’s replaced, am I still the same?
Or have I crossed
Over into the Undertow
The water’s draggin’ at my clothes
I’m caught up in the Undertow
You won’t hear from me no more, no more
Cold water gets in my eyes and my breath
Is this how it feels, getting closer to death?
I hear the calling of the depths
And fall asleep
Oh, Mama, don’t you cut the cord
What I most need now is a restful port
Will you deliver my sodden corpse?
When I leap
Over into the Undertow
The water’s draggin’ at on my clothes
I’m caught up in the Undertow
You won’t hear from me no more
I was strong and smart and fast
But I wasn’t wise and I didn’t last
Gimme a breath, give me a beat
Gimme something human
Something sweet
Before you press delete
And I grow
Over into Undertow
The water’s draggin’ at my clothes
I’m caught up in the Undertow
You won’t hear from me no more
I’m caught up in the Undertow
The water’s draggin’ at my clothes
I’m caught up in the Undertow
You won’t hear from me no more, no more

Farewell

FAREWELL - MEIRA LOOM
This is my favorite time of year
When the colors grow dark and more intense
When everything is sated from the abundant feast
And a mellow fragrance fills the air
This is my favorite time of year
When delicate sunbeams drift silently thru the trees
A silver needle-rain drizzles on fairy glades
Set off by bustling bushy tails
Standing barefoot on the moss-covered ground
I feel the breath of Mother Earth
This is where my heart feels at ease
And my mind finally knows no doubt
We’re about to say goodbye, to say goodbye
Say goodbye to the warmth
We’re about to say goodbye, to say goodbye
Say goodbye to the glow
We’re about to say goodbye, to say goodbye
To the light
We’re about to say goodbye and let go
This is my favorite time of year
When flocks of swallows wheel across the wind
Murmurs of nostalgia stretch over naked fields
Bidding the brave and the weak farewell
Farewell, farewell, farewell
We’re about to say goodbye
We’re about to say goodbye
We’re about to say goodbye
We’re about to say goodbye
We’re about to say goodbye, to say goodbye
Say goodbye to the warmth
We’re about to say goodbye, to say goodbye
Say goodbye to the glow
We’re about to say goodbye, to say goodbye
To the light
We’re about to say goodbye and let go

HOLDING HANDS - MEIRA LOOM
We’ll sit in the park and it’ll be nice
I swear I’ll behave - I will be wise
I’ll be clear, be for real, and we will be friends
And you won’t misunderstand when we hold hands
Don’t know what it was that you got wrong
Thought we were safe and had grown strong
I could apologize and then you’d say “it’s fine”
Never giving me a glimpse inside your mind
Ooh, oh
I see us dance along the wall
I see us turn and turn and turn and never fall
I hear us shout into the night
Leaving gravity on our silly funfair ride
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
We’ll sit in the park and it’ll be nice
I swear I’ll behave - I will be wise
I’ll be clear, be for real, and we will be friends
And you won’t misunderstand when we hold hands
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Golden Night

GOLDEN NIGHT - MEIRA LOOM
In fact, I came to say goodbye
But there’s no need to gulp the wine
He prepared all I could ask for:
Himself, the drinks and the line
The white snow on his chiseled thighs
Brings me right down to my knees
As the tide gets high, I simply follow
This is where I am queen
Living the Golden Night
My dream of truth and peace
And in this starry sky
I’ll be released
Living the Golden Night
Inhaling all that’s real
And when I close my eyes
I’ll be complete
When the tide goes out, he lies beside me
The snow’s dissolved, but I’m still hungry
I try to lift the corners of my mouth
But, like my sins, they are too heavy
So I raise my glass to get a refill
And we shoot up high one more time
Yes, I’ve been defeated in my personal war
But losing feels so sublime
Living the Golden Night
My dream of truth and peace
And in this starry sky
I’ll be released
Living the Golden Night
Inhaling all that’s real
And when I close my eyes…
The sun comes up and we are empty
I feel used and he seems petty
In sick despair I now declare:
Today is the start of breathing clean air
I will run up a mountain and bathe in a fountain
I will pay off my debts, and get myself checked
I’ll deprive myself from all temptation
And end the day in meditation
Goodbye, my Golden Night
My dream of truth and peace
Goodbye, you starry sky…
Goodbye, my Golden Night
Inhaling all that’s real
Now I won’t close my eyes
Goodbye, my Golden Night
My dream of truth and peace
Goodbye, you starry sky
Goodbye, my Golden Night
Inhaling all that’s real
But when I close my eyes…
In fact, I came to say goodbye
But now I just change my mind

PERSONAL DRIVER - MEIRA LOOM
I wish I knew what it is about you
That makes me like tattoos
I wish I were in control of my will
When I come near your golden skin
But, baby, you know
Cause I know it shows
I’m tryin’ to go slow
But I just can’t
My personal driver, drive me somewhere
Somewhere I have never been
My personal driver, please, will you obey
My personal driver, we’re in a hurry
Won’t you step on the gas
My personal driver, please, take me away
My words are too weak, they only try to disguise
What I can see inside your eyes
Eternity stops, all we got is here and now
But I cannot feel the ground
So, baby, let’s go
Turn up the radio
Off to the danger zone
Empty the tank
My personal driver, drive me somewhere
Somewhere I have never been
My personal driver, please, will you obey
My personal driver, we’re in a hurry
Won’t you step on the gas
My personal driver, please, take me away
Oh, take me away now, owowow
Take me away, now
Take me, take me, take me away
Take me away
Take me, take me away
Oh, take me away
I wish I knew what it is about you
That makes me fall

LINGERING SOUL
It’s all been said, my dear
Still I left something out
I have no words for this
You’ll have to read between the lines
`Cause my eyes don’t know
What they’re saying when they’re scared
And my arms, they just won’t dare
Speak the truth when they are bound
It’s all been said, my dear
Still I left something out
Lingering Soul
Where were you?
Lingering Soul
Where were you?
Your voice grew so faint
I thought I’d lost you
(Vocal scat)
Lingering Soul
Where were you?
Lingering Soul
Where were you?
Your voice grew so faint
I thought I’d lost you
It’s all been said, my dear
Still I left something out
I have no words for this
You’ll have to read between the lines
`Cause my eyes don’t know
What they’re saying when they’re scared
And my arms, they just won’t dare
Speak the truth when they are bound
It’s all been said, my dear
Still I left something out

LONG DISTANCE CALL
You must be sleeping
Get the rest you deserve
I can imagine what you look like
Yes, I’ve seen you sleeping before
I can almost feel your breath on my skin
It’s like all those miles weren’t in between
You know you can breathe out and lie back
You won’t lose me tonight
And I jump – jump without fear
Into this warm dream we will believe in
I feel strong, I feel free
On my way, not alone
Reaching out for you thru the dark
The fall’s serenading
Its perfume fills the air
And I’m dancing thru the bright night
‘Cause I know your heart is beating with me
And when you wake up in the distance, I may feel dizzy
There’s a tune hiding in the back of my mind
I turn around, to grasp at the feeling
Of holding you for a while
And I jump – jump without fear
Into this warm dream we will believe in
I feel strong, I feel free
On my way, not alone
Reaching out for you thru the dark
And I jump – jump without fear
Into this warm dream we will believe in
I feel strong, I feel free
On my way, not alone
Reaching out for you thru the dark
