Cerys Matthews Album

Chardonnay, chardonnay how I love you Chardonnay

As I reach to hold you with my trembling hands
In my hands my trembling hands

Chardonnay, Chardonnay you’ll be glad to hear me say
I will never need you more than I do now
In my hands my trembling hands

When I’m sad sad and blue
You are my friend constant and true
I dedicate this line to you
And I would like to take you home with me

Chardonnay, Chardonnay I’m in love with your bouquet
You’re so cold but you so beautiful tonight
In my hands my trembling hands

Chardonnay, Chardonnay you don’t have a lot to say
But your silence has a welcome touch tonight
In my hands my trembling hands

When I’m sad sad and blue you are my friend constant and true
I dedicate this song to you
And I would like to take you home
With me, tonight

In my hands my trembling hands
In my hands my trembling hands
In my hands my trembling hands
In my hands my trembling hands

Been crying a little

Been caught in the middle
It’s something you’d hate to admit to
But you are the only one
Who can show you’ve been sad and lonely

She shouldn’t have said it
You shouldn’t have done it
And after all is said and done
We are the only ones who can
Start where we want to start

Come lie with me sir
Come lie with me
Make good with love
It’s better than envy

You say you regret it
Now learn to forget it
There’s so much more to dwell on
And we are the only ones who can
Know where we want to go

Come lie with me sir
Come lie with me
Make good with love
It’s better than envy

Oh I’m soft in the middle
Still hurting a little
All I wanted was for you
To lay in my arms arms
And show me what good Lovin’ can do

So kiss me goodnight
I’m suddenly suddenly tired
Let the sun go down on me and you, we’ve got the time
And truth be told
I’ve been sad and lonely,
I’ve been sad and lonely too

Rain fell it called off play

We ran for shelter
Laughing at the stormy weather
Jack sang bread of heaven
And I thought of you

One sweet day finally we'll trace each other
Shine a little light together
Till that day I hear you though you're faraway

I'll walk the earth to find you
And wrap my arms around you
And sing the sweetest songs for you

In all good time we'll come across a mountain haven
Build a house and home and settle
Plant some crops and pray they'll grow for me and you

Whose to say we might wander in the trees
And shimmer under canopies of autumns
Rich kaleidoscope of gold and ruby

I'll walk the earth to find you
And wrap my arms around you
And sing the sweetest words for you

And as for stormy weather
We'll be so good together
I've got to find my way to you

Here and now, the rains still falling steadily
The damp is crawling up to me and
Jacks is singing all your favourite melodies

Soon enough I fall into an easy sleep
Now no-one move and no-one speak
Let the moonlight carry from me from here to you

I'll walk the earth to find you
Wrap my arms around you
And sing the sweetest songs for you

And as for stormy weather
We'll be so good together
I've got to find a way to you

We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest

Giant dripping leaves spoons of powdered cream

I wanted to kiss you but I wasn't sure how
Like those Indians lost in the rainforest

Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
They had had all forgotten how to light a fire

That’s why people od on pills
And jump from the golden gate bridge
Anything to feel weightless again

Those poor lost Indians when the white men found them
Most died of TB the rest went insane
In our motel room you were drinking slice and gin
Reading Moby Dick on the other bed

Remember the first time we slept together
You said it felt like when you learn to float

That's why people OD on pills
And jump from the golden gate bridge
Anything to feel weightless again

Only a fool to stick by your side

Struck by your change of heart
Straight into your arms
Like a newborn child
Straight into those open arms

I'm only a fool to stick by your side
Struck by your change of heart
Every day and every night
Try as I might
You're my black and you're my white

I've got eyes on you
Like you want me to

So I creep by your side no great surprise
All for your sweet surrender
the morning stands still
won't let me in
and nobody hears me try

I need you, I need you
Oh I need you
Like I need salt in my water-
Salt in my wounds ,but I stay
Cos I'm only a fool
To stick by your side
Struck by that changing heart

Straight into your arms,
Your broken arms
Straight into your open arms,
I never look behind
Cos Im only a fool,
I’m only a fool

C'est pas La Bague que j'ai regretee

C'est le capon que ma belle m'a donne

[No lyrics]

Two ships passing in the night

Drop an anchor for a while
We'll share some company
We're the same you and me
It's in the air that we breathe
And there's no shame

Wide is the ocean
Sweet Gravity

And beneath the evening sun
If there's work to be done
I shall not falter
Swell shell ease
Swell she'll rise
I’ll take my seat there by your side
You won me over

Wide is the ocean, I long to follow,
Sweet Gravity

For every reason a purpose begins
A time and a place for everything
The sun will not burn you
The moon will not roam

Wide is the Ocean, i long to follow,
Sweet Gravity

Mi glywaf dyner lais

Yn galw arnaf i
I ddod a golchi meiau
Yn afon Calfari

Arglwydd dyma fi
ar dy alwad di
Canna fenaid yn y gwaed
A gaed ar galfari

Yr iesu sydd im gwadd
I dderbyn gydai saint
Fydd gobaith cariad pur a hedd
A phob rhyw nefol fraint

Arglwydd dyma fi
Ar dy alwad di
Canna fenaid yn y gwaed
A gaed ar galfari

Gogoniant byth am drefn
Y cymod ar glanhad
Derbynia iesu fel yr wyf
A chanaf am y gwaed

Maybe I'm sad, Maybe your gone

Maybe you're right baby all along
Baby just go and set yourself free
But if you're, if you're looking for love
Come see about me

Maybe you've gone back on the road again
Walk past my door and know you've got a friend
Well I hope you find what you've been looking for
But if you're, if you're looking for love
Come see about me

And if your chasing your tail
Don't pay it no mind
Ain’t got no, particular place
No particular plan.....

My fairweather friend you're welcome anytime
That smile of yours can cross a thousand miles
I know you live to learn and learnin' suits you fine
But if you're, if you're looking for love
Come see about me

Cry baby cry until tomorrow
Heaven knows when you'll be back again
Cry baby cry until tomorrow
Heaven knows if you'll be back again

Baby, baby, baby, get back on the road again
Walk past my door and know you've got a friend
Baby just go and set yourself free
But if you're,if you're looking for love
Come see about me
If you're,if you're looking for love
Come see about me

You took the wind from my sails and left me there to drift away

I woke up in the morning striped of everything
Oh sweet lord its time its time we moved along
Tonight I’ll put the good back in goodbye

If the boat don't float and she don't go
This girls gonna blow the morning
I'll turn to face the cold cold sea and will this ship around
And I’ll swallow level tears of broken promises

But the calm prevailed with no whistle to her name
And I could see whose name was on your mind
I heard sighs from a million muted turncoats at attention
And tonight I’ll put the good back in goodbye

If the boat don't float and she don't go
This girls gonna blow the morning
I'll turn to face the cold cold sea and will this ship around
And swallow level tears of broken promises

What freedom owes the devil to the devil I’ll be due
I'll walk right down to hell before I fall in love with you
I'll take this broken heart of mine and pin it to the floor
And tonight ill put the good back in goodbye

If the boat don't float and she don't go
This vessels gonna blow the morning
I'll turn to face the cold cold sea and will this ship around
And tonight I’ll put the good in goodbye

Rainclouds, moon shines, I know

Sun burns, stars earn shadows,
sing baby brown eyes
You give me everything to try
I'm following grey skies, grey
Skies lead me lost in the night

We'll dance till were tired
Eat till were full
With a guaranteed window over some where to go
My room needs no 4 walls to cushion the blow, lets go

Maybe you're right maybe I'm wrong
Climb till your pacified
Fight till your strong

We'll dance till were tired
Eat till were full
With a guaranteed window over some where to go
My room needs no 4 walls to cushion the blow, lets go

We'll talk till were empty drink till were blue
You can dare me to race you you can pay me my dues
Your maybe's no answer, cos maybe its you, lets go

Dance till were tired eat till were strong
A guaranteed window where nothing can go wrong
Dance till were tired eat till were full
We've a guaranteed window over somewhere to go, somewhere to go

Dance till were tired drink till you fall
A guaranteed window and no weakness at all
Dance till were weary

Hush little baby don't you cry

You know your mama was born to die
All my trials lord will soon be over
The river of Jordan runs muddy and cold
You know it chills the body but not the soul
All my trials lord soon be over

Too late, too late my brother
But never mind, all my trials lord, soon be over

I've a little book with pages three
And every page spells liberty
All my trials lord soon be over

There grows a tree in paradise
And the pilgrims call it the tree of life
All my trials lord, soon be over

If living were a thing that money could buy
You know the rich would live and the poor would die

All my trials lord, soon be over

Too late, too late my brother
But never mind, all my trials lord, soon be over
