Lisa Mitchell - Edge of my Dreams


Hello, are you there?
Do you see me through your window pane?
Hello, are you there?
Well this silence, you're so very strange
And I, well I've been trying
So hard to get you off my mind
And I, well I've been trying
But a friend is so rare to find

Hello, been gone
But these thoughts of you just carry on
Whisper words, to the edge of my petal darling
With the things you said
Oh I, I've been trying
So hard to get you off my mind
And I, oh I've been trying
But a friend is so rare to find

(Chorus)
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up on me
I've been trying, I've been trying
I've been trying to get you off my mind, oh

(Chorus)

Oh I, I've been trying
So hard to get you off my mind
Crystal ball, spill your light
Oh I'll be hanging off you tonight
And ambitious as I might
For I'm still a fool for a tie that bines
Correct me, if I'm right
I cannot forget, when it comes tonight

(Chorus) 3x

Don't give up, no don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up on me
I've been trying, I've been trying
Oh, I've been trying

Don't give up (don't give up)
(Don't give up), (don't give up on me)
(I've been trying), (I've been trying)
(I've been trying to get you off my mind)

(Don't give up), (don't give up)
(Don't give up), (don't give up on me)
(I've been trying), (I've been trying)
(I've been trying to get you off my mind)

(Don't give up)
I've got to oh, I've got
To get you off my mind
You'll still be in the edge of my dreams

Lisa Mitchell - See You When You Get Here


How do you feel
About being dead?
Said one to the other
How do you feel
About being lonely?
Said one to the other

(Chorus)
She said, darling, darling it's alright
She said, darling, darling it's ok

And I'll see you when you get here 2x

How do you feel
About being alive?
Said one to the other
And how do you feel
About being lost?
Said one to the other

(Chorus)

I'll see you when you get here 13x

(Chorus) 2x

I'll see you when you get here 18x

Lisa Mitchell - Oh! Hark!


Fuudoo doo parapapa 4x
Once again I leave my grave
Dirt and daisies hit the pave
No sooner than I have turned
I hear the devil cooking up a new storm

My world ends on a regular basis
Yeah I fed quick and lonesome places
No sooner that I am dead
I feel the ravens tugging at my hair

(Chorus)
Oh! Hark!
Do you a hear a voice like velvet through the night sky
Do you hear the fickle hand of fate at my side
And all those that god has sinned with hope in his stride
And watch out (watch out)
Watch for them camouflaged and crouched in the shadows
Oh they couldn't hold a candle up to you
But they stand as tall as you in broad daylight too
Oh! Hark!

Fuudoo doo parapapa 2x
Once again I leave my grave (leave my grave 2x)
Like a bird out of its cage (of its cage 2x)
No sooner that I have won
I feel the storm clouds plotting against the sun
(Plotting against the sun 2x)

(Chorus)

(Fuudoo doo parapapa) (Chorus)
Oh hark, fuudoo do parapapa 8x

Lisa Mitchell - Coin Laundry


There I was sitting on the top of the world
In a coin laundry
Well I could have been royalty
Sitting in the palace like a queen

Do you have a dollar?
Do you have a dollar for me?
Have you got a house on a hill and a bed for three?
Do you have a story
Do you have a story for me?
Do you know the one where
We'll all live happily

Do you, do you 2x

So now I'm here sitting on the edge
Throwing these stones to the long lost friends
I could have been a common theif
Sitting in the dirt quite happily

Do you have a dollar?
Do you have a dollar for me?
Maybe just an hour or two and a pot of tea
Have you got a memory
Have you got a memory for me?
Tell me about the days when
You were seventeen

Do you, do you 2x

Do you have a dollar?
Do you have a dollar for me?
Have you got a little old house and a lemon tree?
Do you have a reason?
Do you have a reason for me?
Can I be the girl that you met
In a coin laundry?

Can I be the girl that you met
Can I be the girl that you met
Can I be the girl that you met
In the coin laundry? 2x

Lisa Mitchell - Clean White Love


I left the keys in the car
I left the door ajar
I didn't want to be alone

These are the days and the nights
At these sweet humbling heights
And I know it used to be home

Well whisk me away
I'll be yours for a day
In heavenly fields we can roam

(Chorus)
Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing to me?
What are you doing to my head?
Woah oh oh you're my clean white love
Woah oh oh you're too clean white love

I gave my heart on the morning of November 6th
Oh everybody's looking for a fix

Sell me a sign
I'll cut the telephone line
Just to keep expectations alive

Oh you're bleeding me dry
But the feeling is blind
So I climbed up your looking device

Sell me it straight
Oh it might be too late
To keep on breaking the rules

(Chorus)

I gave my heart on the morning of November 6th
Oh everybody's looking for a fix
Oohh ohh oooh ohh oh 2x

In this nervous disease
There's a cure I need
Let the medecine get to the bone

Remember this place
Leave it up to the fate
Is it true that it's kind do be cruel, cruel

(Chorus) 3x

Gave my heart on the morning of November 6th
Now everybody's looking for a fix
Oohh ohh oooh ohh oh 2x

Lisa Mitchell - Incomplete Lullaby


Like a turning head, like a second look
Like a burning leaf of an open book
Like a pounding sea, like a massive climb
When your eyes first met with mine

Like a broken word, like a tragic smile
Like a thousand steps or a single mile
Like a lonely chance, like a sacage glow
When you turned and said hello

I was just about to go
There were flowers on the ceiling
You left me feeling

Like a fading voice, like a closing door
Like a dozen lies and a dozen more
Like a twisted tongue, like a distant bark
When we broke out into the dark

Stars looked like burning sparks
The lights were on but chilling
You left me feeling

(Chorus)
Tired, I could not close my eyes
On fire, but frozen inside
To run or to hide
Speechless, my words would not melt
Whispered, I wanted to shout
Without you I felt

Like a fleeting thought, like a double life
Like a gentle feel of a warming taste
Like a plassive breath, like a cooling blow
When you stopped and held me close

Inside I nearly froze
Your touch is almost healing
You left me feeling

(Chorus)

Like a setting sun, like a lost goodbye
Like an incomplete lullaby

Lisa Mitchell - Neopolitan Dreams


You go and I'll be okay
I can dream the rest away
It's just a little touch of fate
It'll be okay
It sure takes its precious time
But it's got rights and so have I

I turn my head up to the sky
I focus one foot at a time
I do not let the little thieves
Under my tightly buttoned sleeve
It couldn't be a longer time
I feel like I am walking blind
I have no arrival time
There are no legible signs 2x

I like the way that you talk
I like the way that you walk
It's hard to recreate such an individual gait

(Chorus)
You wait your turn in the queue
You say your sorries and thankyous
I don't think you're ever
A hundred percent in the room
You're not in the room 2x

Tada da da da da 6x

Deepest of the dark nights
Here lies the highest of highs
Neopolitan Dreams
Stretching out to the sea

(Chorus)

Tada da da da da 7x
