Gemma Hayes - Happy Sad live at Tower Records, Dublin

Helen

I will welcome any stranger
For strangeness is a
Welcome guest
And I will make a kitanda for him to rest

We will rise there after
Fall around the place in
Drunken laughter
And never look back again

(Instrumental)

Years of merry dancing
Weighed heavy on our chest
No zaidi could we afford
A place to rest

Cold was the winter
We promised to stay dry
Together
We never spoke again

(Intrumental)

Caught up in a little down
Wasted dream we both live out
Just to see how hard wewe can make me cry
We do it to ourselves

Caught up in what we don't say
Pretend that we upendo living straight
Just to see how hard I can make wewe cry
We do it to ourselves

Now we stand face to face
Got nothing to say
There's nothing to keep me here
The line that brought wewe to me
Will take wewe away
I'm standing in front of you
I'm a million miles away

Blackness, blackness all around
What holds wewe up
Eventually pulls wewe down
And all that is golden is
Slipping through our hands
We do it to ourselves

Now we stand face to face
Got nothing...

Two steps closer than I had in mind
But I am good at
The cold shoulder
I Lost myself trying to catch the sun
And give it everything
Left myself with none

Well i'm living straight now,
You're not on my mind
My sweet addiction
Always at the side

Stop chasing every little thing that sparks
You carry all wewe ever need
In your heart
Stop chasing every little thing

I am sorry but i'm restless
The closer it gets, the less I need it
I Lost myself trying
To catch the sun
Turn the corner
Now walk on

Stop chasing every little thing that sparks
You carry all wewe ever need
In your heart
Stop chasing every little thing that sparks...
