After The Ceasefire - Marianne Faithfull

How do we save a life pointing fingers How can we end the fight this way When blame is the truth we're preaching And lies are what we're believing No one ever wins when the goal is to settle the score One by one we will call for a ceasefire One by one we will fight for a better end One by one we could rewrite the headlines Standing side by side One by one, love is building an empire One by one, reaching out to our enemies One by one we will make it to the finish line Standing side by side Ceasefire I will be the first to say I'm far from perfect But grace was made for those who don't deserve it So easy to cast the first stone It's harder to search your own soul No one ever wins when the goal is to settle the score One by one we will call for a ceasefire One by one we will fight for a better end One by one we could rewrite the headlines Standing side by side One by one, love is building an empire One by one, reaching out to our enemies One by one we will make it to the finish line Standing side by side Ceasefire Teach us how to live humbly, love unconditionally Transform our hurt into hope Grant us Your peace Teach us how to live humbly, love unconditionally Transform our hurt into hope And grant us Your peace One by one we will call for a ceasefire One by one we will fight for a better end One by one we could rewrite the headlines Standing side by side One by one, love is building an empire One by one, reaching out to our enemies One by one we will make it to the finish line We're standing side by side Ceasefire

So tell me what you want babe 'Cause I can't keep on guessing your love Tell me what you want babe So I can make sure you're getting enough What can I say, your love is my medicine Make me feel so good, make me be a better man So take my hand and we'll go after the sun The sand between our toes feels good The breeze so nice let's just lie down on the shore Let me carry you on my back, jump in the water I hope you like that Making love, after the sun Oh, look at what you've done to me You got me on my knees begging for more of you More of us, more of trust More of everything you're willing to give So take my hand and we'll go after the sun The sand between our toes feels good The breeze so nice let's just lie down on the shore Let me carry you on my back, jump in the water I hope you like that Making love, after the sun So take my hand and we'll go after the sun The sand between our toes feels good The breeze so nice let's just lie down on the shore Let me carry you on my back, jump in the water I hope you like that Making love, after the sun So take my hand and we'll go after the sun The sand between our toes feels good The breeze... oh

Yesterdays, yesterdays, Days I knew as happy sweet sequestered days Olden days, golden days, Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine Truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Then truth was mine Sad am I, glad am I, For today I'm dreaming of Yesterdays Yesterdays, yesterdays, Days I knew as happy sweet sequestered days Golden days, olden days, Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine Truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Then truth was mine Sad am I, glad am I, For today I'm dreaming of Yesterdays

In my solitude you haunt me With memories of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair And filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude, I'm afraid Dear Lord above Send back my love I sit in my chair And filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude, I'm afraid Dear Lord above Send me back my love

It is safe to sleep alone In a place no one knows And to seek life under stones In a place water flows. It is best to find in sleep The missing pieces that you lost Best that you refuse to weep Ash to ash, dust to dust. It is strange to sleep alone In a place no one knows Strange to shelter under stones In a place water flows. It is safe to walk with me Where you can read the sky and stars, Safe to walk upon the sea In my sleep we can go far. It is safe to sleep alone In a place no one knows And to shelter under stones In a place water flows. It is strange to sleep alone In a place no one goes, Strange to seek life under stones. In my sleep no one knows.
