Gifts from fans to you, Sarah:



"Untitled"
Lost inside an obscure world
My mind was going about in a whirl
All the weight above me remained a mystery
Just wanted all this to be history

Then came down an angel and sang
‘hold on, hold to yourself for this gonna hurt like hell’
I’ve held on not wanting to lose my stand
Knew for sure it wasn’t going to be my final bell

I swam with the bitter tears you threw at the ocean
Swam my way to bring my soul back ashore
Walked my new path in perfect motion
Everything has come to past I shall fear no more

Let this glimmer grow strong
And let it still guide me when I’m gone

By Miguel Soto (inspired by lyrics of Sarah McLachlan)
Includes lyrics from ‘Hold On’, written by Sarah McLachlan

"Blue"

Blue, like the wind follows you

Like your eyes with the sky and all its pride

The clouds which never lost their breath

Blue, like the murmurs of the voices

Once belonged to be sad

Because it is not darkness that will lead you away

Blue, like the river deep

And the oceans sunken and below your world

Blue your colour is beautiful again

But between my heart and yours

It are not the words you speak loud

You kill me with hard looks through my mind

Blue I once followed you

And you must know I’ll never forget you

But I don’t know the reasons why

And all the questions bury me in your endless ground

 

Oh blue I was red

But somehow we could get combined

Your heart for always bleeding

And your words put below my heart

Blue, like the words so lost and gone

Like your eyes which are empty now

Once filled with the endless breath of being in the sky

Oh blue can you come down

 

But I never said I wouldn’t need you,

And I never told you I was wrong

Maybe I’ve found you before

Oh blue why won’t you listen anymore

Blue, like the eyes of imperfection

Laying in rest for the cruelness of the world

Blue, dark shiver but blue

Blue, dark shiver but oh so blue

 

By Ellen Edens, inspired by the lyrics and the idea behind Sweet Surrender, written by Sarah McLachlan

"Cloud Man"
He said the morning will break down hard
And the sound will keep you awake
Your sleepy face has left traces of your hunting dreams
Like comfort comes in shapes of pillows
And my eyes are slowly awaken
Inside the pieces of the restless morning
Fallen too hard from above
I can not say to you that it’ll be morning
For you are still walking in the light of the night
Dreaming your innocence away
Hidden from the forbidden light that slowly fades around you,
Leaving you alone in this pleasant way of comfort

I’ll tell the cloud man
To fade away those white curtains
Dream on, dear

He said the evening would take so long,
And my eyes would only see the dreams
Once left behind in pieces of unbroken glass,
Where reflections will make their way through
Until they will release their inner souls
On your face which had only felt the warmth
I fell slower and slower over the purity
Just like silence will take only over when there’s nothing left
I came across the morning light,
To keep you sleeping on the evening light
Hiding away from this endless way of losing my thoughts
Leaving you alone in this strange way of comfort

I’ll tell the cloud man
To fade away the rays of sunshine
By fading away those white curtains
Dream on, dream on dear

The stealing light across this window,
Is showing me more inside this hidden light
Than there’ll ever be
Your dreams left behind on your face,
Deeper than deep like this awaken voice
When you said you love me,
Deeper than deep
Your night left behind, in traces of my eyes,
Not awaken

I’ll tell the cloud man
He should fade away the day
To fade away those white curtains

The cloud man told me
He faded away those white curtains

By Ellen Edens, inspired by the lyrics of Sarah McLachlan
