Songs Of Birds

周華健( Wakin Chau ) Songs Of Birds歌詞
1.Leader Of The Band

An only child, alone and wild
a cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
and his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone
and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay

A quiet man of music
denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
a thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
took me years to understand

***
The leader of the band is tired
and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
and his son is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
to the leader of the band
***

My brothers' lives were different
for they heard another call
One went to Chicago
and the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chosen
and come to know so well

I thank you for the music
and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
and the time when you got tough
And papa I don't think I said
'I love you' near enough

REPEAT ***

I am a living legacy
to the leader of the band


2.Songs Of Birds

How did you know I had a needing heart
You made me glad
In your pureness of your eyes
I felt such a power
It gave me the strength to go on
Now I know I really feel in my heart
more than all the sun e'r released in all it's hours

Believing in you
believing in me
believing in love

{Songs of birds)} Songs of birds fill the air
The autumn hues everywhere
There's a sense of love and peace
I feel where I am being with you as we are
All the trouble in the world won't scare me
if I'm right there with you through it all

Believing in you
believing in me
believing in love

Now I know I really feel in my heart
more than all the sun e'r released in all it's hours

Believing in you
believing in me
believing in love


3.CALL ME

Lyrics:Deyoung/Dennis
Music:Deyoung/Dennis

Rain began to fall softly
As she gazzed around the room
Even now she wondered what went wrong
A letter in her hand trembled
As she placed it by the phone
All at once there were footsteps by the door
She didn't want a confrontation
To tear them apart
She wasn't sure of the feelings
Racing through her heart

I looked into her eyes
Knowing something wasn't right
And suddenly the tears began to show
How I wish I could tell you that I am
But before I even read this letter
I want you to stay
But if I see your mind's made up
There's one thing I've got to say

You can call me
Baby if you ever change your mind
Believe me when I say to you
Anytime will be alright

You can call me
Only seven numbers on the phone
Maybe we can talk things over
You're never that far from home
Oh,no no baby you're not alone

Another season
Another change
Two hearts are breaking
With no one to blame

I know the reasons
You want to go
But if you find that you still want me
There's one thing that you know


4.Sometimes When We Touch

Lyrics:Dan Hill
Music:Barry Mann
Artist:李度

【周】You ask me if I love you. And I choke on my reply.
【周】I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.
【李】And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?
【李】I'm only just beginning to see the real you.
【周】And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much.
【周】And I have to close my eyes and hide.
【李】I wanna hold you till I die.
【李】Till we both break down and cry.
【李】I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.
【李】Romance and all its strategy leaves
【李】me battling with my pride.
【【李But through the insecurity some tenderness survives.
【周】I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truths.
【周】A hesitate prize fighter still trapped within my youth.
【周】And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much.
【周】And I have to close my eyes and hide.
【合】I wanna hold you till I die. Till we both break down and cry.
【合】I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.
【周】At times I'd like to break you (【李】at times I'd like to break
you)
【周】and drive you to your knees (【李】and drive you to your knees)
【李】At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly.
【周】At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried.
【周】I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love
pass you by.
【李】At times I think we're drifters,
【李】still searching for a friend (【周】 still searching for a
friend),
【李】a brother or a sister. But then the passion flares again.
【周】 And sometimes when we touch(【李】sometimes when we touch) ,
【周】the honesty's too much (【李】honesty).
【周】And I have to close my eyes and hide.
【合】I wanna hold you till I die. Till we both break down and cry.
【合】I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.


5.Make It With You

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.

Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to

I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

No, you don't know me well,
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
If you believe the things that I do.
And we'll see it through.

Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl


6.Alabama Rain

原唱:Jim Croce

Lazy days in mid July. Country Sunday mornings.
Dusty haze on summer highways. Sweet magnolia calling.
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days when we were
walking in the Alabama rain.
Drivin' movies Friday nights, drinkin' beers & laughin'.
Somehow things will always right. Just don't know what happened.
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days when we were
walking in the Alabama rain.
We were only kids but then I never heard it said that kiss can
falling in love and feel the same.
I can still remember the first time I told you I love you.
All the dust in mid July. Country summer's evening.
Weeping willow sang its lullaby share our secret.
Now and then I find myself thinking of the days when we were
walking in the Alabama rain.
Walking in the Alabama rain.


7.Just The Way You Are

Lyrics:Billy Joel
Music:Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.


8.The First Time

原唱:The Surface

You know I won't forget the times we shared together,
holding hands and walking in the park.
Sometime we'll have to do it all again.
We were so happy then. I have no regrets.
Can't you tell from the look on my face that I love you more
today?
The first time I looked into your eyes I cried.
Do you remember the first time we fell in love?
You looked into my eyes, wiped the tears away.
The first time when we fell in love.
Although some time has passed,
I still remember just like it was yesterday.
But time is movin' fast.
The love I have for you, time won't ever change,
I'll always feel the same, now until the end.
Memories we share will live forever.
Deep inside my heart. I know I'll never forget.

The first time I looked into your eyes I cried.
Do you remember the first time we fell in love?
You looked into my eyes, wiped the tears away.
The first time when we fell in love.
The first time I looked into your eyes I cried.
Do you remember the first time we fell in love?
You looked into my eyes, wiped the tears away.
The first time when we fell in love.

The first time.


9.How Deep Is Your Love?

And when you rise in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again


when you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love ( x 3)
I really need to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me*

I believe in you
You know the door to my barest soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think that I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love (x 3)
I really need to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

repeat *

How deep is your love how deep is your love
I really need to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me


10.Ocean Deep

Lyrics:Trott
Music:馬玉芬
Featuring:Cliff Richard

Love, can't you see I'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask
A little kindness in the night
Please don't leave me behind
No, don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask and that is all

Ooh love, I've been searching so long
I've been searching high and low
A little love is all I ask
A little sadness when you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all I ask and that is all

*I wanna spread my wings
But I just can't fly
As string of pearl and pretty girls
Go sailing by

#Ocean deep
(So hard for me to say it)
I'm so afraid to show my feelings
(You're the only one I love)
I have sailed a million ceilings
(Just can't reveal it)
Solitary room

☆Ocean deep
(May be, may be)
Will I ever find a lover
(Maybe she has found)
Maybe she has found another
(Another)
And as I cry myself to sleep (I'll tell myself)
I know this lullaby I'll keep
Ocean deep

Love can't you hear when I call
Can't you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am I still alone
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask and that is all

Repeat *#☆(#)(☆)


深海

吾愛,妳看不出來我的寂寞嗎
妳就不能夠給這傻瓜一個機會
我只要求一點點的愛
在夜裡的一點點關懷
請不要不理睬我
不,不要告訴我愛情是盲目的
我只要求一點點的愛,就這樣

吾愛,我已尋覓許久
上山下海四處尋覓
我只要求一點點的愛
當妳離去,有一絲絲的悲傷
或許妳需要朋友
只要我們別再偽裝下去
我只要求一點點的愛,就這樣

我要張開雙翼
但卻飛不起來
當串串珍珠和美麗女子航行過身邊

深海
(我簡直說不出口)
我非常害怕表達情感
(妳是我唯一的愛)
我曾航行過千萬個天花板
(不能洩漏出去)
在孤獨的房間裡

深海
(也許吧!也許)
我能否找到一個愛人
(也許她找到了)
也許她已另有新歡
(另有新歡)
當我哭著睡著後
我知道我會把這份愛深藏起來
藏在深海

吾愛,妳聽不見我在呼喚妳嗎
妳聽不見我所說的話嗎
我只要求一點點的愛
當我倆接觸時一點點的感覺
為何我依然孤獨
我有一顆無家可歸的心
我只要求一點點的愛,就這樣
