Have You Never Been Mellow

(nelson)

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul
My dreams call on tomorrow
My love knows all my sorrow
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

Stay with me and we'll find a way
I'll be your night if you'll be my day
Through the dawn and beyond the sky
We can fly, you and i
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

Bringing it on yourself
Bringing it on yourself
All the promises you made to me
You know can never be

Shouldn't have been so nice
Shouldn't have been so nice
Oh, you should've known my love would grow
Now i just can't let go
Now i just can't let go

It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It's so easy to tell yourself
Things'll work out fine
It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine

Nobody else to blame
Nobody else to blame
Did you ever stop to count the cost
Of those who've loved and lost?
Living without your love
Living without your love
I'll just have to learn to face the fact
That i can't bring you back
That i can't bring you back

It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It's so easy to tell yourself
Things'll work out fine
It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine

It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine

There was a time when i was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when i just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now i don't mean to make you frown
No, i just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

In the early morning when i'm lying by your side
Doubts go through my mind, thoughts i try to hide
Lying there i wonder if your love for me is real
Or just another fantasy

Then i try to think about the way things used to be
Misty memories, hazy like a dream
All we did together, all the things we planned to do
There was only me and you

And in the morning i touch you
And i find you're still there
I want to tell you that i love you
Please never leave me
In the morning light i turn to look at you
And hope that you still care

When i look back on our life, the pieces fall in place
Words that went unsaid, pictures of your face
All those things we shared, yet stay together day by day
Cause our love was never far away

And in the morning i touch you
And i find you're still there
I want to tell you that i love you
Please never leave me
In the morning light i turn to look at you
And hope that you still care

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come

And it's
Goodbye again, i'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again, and i wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when i have to go?

It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me and for a little while

It's
Goodbye again, i'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again, and i wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when i have to go?

I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that i don't know
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand
It's anyone who will listen to me sing

But if your arms are empty now, then who am i to blame
You think if i was always here our love would be the same
But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace i've ever known

But it's
Goodbye again, i'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again, and i wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when i have to go?

You came when i was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long i built my world around you
And i prayed you'd love enough of me to stay

If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you

The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says "hello, it's good to see you"
Anytime i turn around to find you there

It's this and so much more tht make me love you
What else can i do to make you see
You know you have whatever's mine to give you
But a love affair for one can never be

If you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Loving you
