David Adams Lyrics :: Diving For Pearls
Diving For Pearls
Left this morning before dawn
Ship set sail and we were gone
Past the point of no return
Salty air and my eyes burn
Not a word since we set sail
The water's black, the wind it wails
Soon we'll be diving for pearls
Looking back now as I fall
Into the depths the darkness calls
And as I'm slowly sinking down
Watch the bubbles dance around
Soon this day it will be done
And I will rise to a setting sun
On this place I love to be
Down on the bottom of the sea
The captain stares through a window pane
The sea's still black and the wind has gained
I wish I was diving for pearls
Now I Know
There's a power in you I've never known
There's a look, yes a look I've never seen
I thought I did know you
I know I did love you
But now that's changed, you've gone away ... yeah
And now I know ... love may not last forever
And now I know ... now I know
A smart man cuts like a knife
A foolish man cuts like a rose
Nothing's Gonna Happen
Funny how you think of things
That you would have done
That you would have said
If you had it all again
Funny how the more you get
The more you want
The more you need
And nothing's gonna happen
Nothing's gonna change
Unless you make it happen
Nothing's gonna change
The cool night air
Has numbed my fingers
The cool night air
Has changed my plans
The cool night air
I wasn't counting on. No
Has taken me away
Has taken you away
Island Girl
My lovely island girl
With eyes of fire
My lovely island girl
My one desire
I write this song of love to you
Dream of lying next to you
My lovely island girl
Today I'm far away
And how I miss you
Dream of lying next to you
When I can kiss you
The palm trees they sway
It's such a lovely day
I want to dance my life away
With my island girl
And I'm waiting
Oh yes I'm waiting
For my dreams to come true
My dreams to come true
Soon we'll meet under the banyan tree
We'll walk this beach
And we'll surf the sea
Oh this means so much to me ... to me
Scream
Have you ever wanted something
Makes you want to scream
Have you ever needed someone
Makes you want to scream
I really want you baby
I really want you babe
Come on and make me scream
Killing Floor
If we could take the time
To stand outside the circle
If we could take the time
To listen to our hearts ... if we could take the time
If we don't we all headin' for the killing floor
If we could take the time
To learn to love one another
If we could ake the time
To listen to our hearts ... if we could take the time
Valentine
Whisky sour, black lace
You and I
Your face
The love we made
The things that you show me
Oh babe ... here I go again
Come to me darling
Here by my side
I need you my darling ... Valentine
All winter long
I ran with you
All summer long
I ran with you
Dance With The Devil
Well I've been down with the devil
Took the back streets most don't go
Held my breath. My fear no nothing
Felt my heart beat soft and low
Down this road he'll take you nowhere
Down this road where no-one cares
Into his darkest deepest dungeon
Come with me I'll take you there
If you want to dance with the devil
If you want to dance with the devil
So if you want to dance with the devil
Be ready for the ride of your life
Scream into now! Don't think about the future
Get ready for that sharp cold knife
Never Stop
Oh got to move, got to get to another place
Daylight has gone, can't find another trace ...
So throw back your hair babe
Your heart's in your hand
Oh it's a race my only one
Should have made a stronger stand
Oh since you left, took a part of me
The future none could see
Raced through my mind was this lonely place
Oh it could have been mine
Oh you got, got me moving, never stop
Almost up, I am choosing, never stop, never stop
Night light shine on, mist on your pale face
Snake eyes 'till dawn
Should I run back or hide my face?
Never trun back my only one
Oh it's a race forever more
Yes it's a race my only one
Should have made a stronger stand
Rushing Water
How can I say the things I want?
How can I leave no stone unturned?
Burn down the doubt and blow away the ashes
Find a way when there's no way out
I want to swim in rushing waters
I want to swim
I'm gonna climb to the roof tops
I'm gonna swim the rapid waters
To take a chance. My home it's so safe yeah
You! Come on and give it a try
Let's take this chance, you're home it's so safe
You! Come on and give it a try
Give it a try
Hide
I've been acting like a fool
Like a boy just out of school
And I'm sorry my love
No time like now to work this out
I need you and I have no doubt
Oh I'm sorry my love
So if you're willing to give us one more try
Work this out eye to eye
Tell me how could I walk away
From the things that I want to say
How could I hide from you
How could I hide
Here and now I give to you
This heart of mine, this soul of mine
So why don't you take it
Come on and get it girl
So if you're willing to give us one more try
Work this out eye to eye
Tell me how could I walk away
From the things that I want to say
How could I hide from you
How could I hide
Cos you mean all the world to me
And I want all the world to see
How could I hide from you
How could I hide
