Peter Murphy , Sails Wave Goodbye

Peter Murphy, Our Secret Garden (Holy Smoke) 1992

It seems like a day
A day that I call smooth
When you came into my heart I knew
The love was overflowing
And I say
La la la la la! 

The day was so long and the night was still
And you kept coming over
To my hill
I would weep for the day
Without you, all the way
You wanted to be free
And doubt would overflow
Just came running to me
Cause you knew I'd take you home 

Then you came into my heart
We knew for a start
Each word like a book
With your spirit flowing, over me
Don't bother to close your heart
Let's drink honey in the park
Swap hats and go for free
To our secret garden

Oh please come with me

Peter Murphy, Slow Down [Audio]

Peter Murphy , Mercy Rain

Would you walk with me tonight
Could you run where the lovers run
Would you stay with me tonight
Will you forgive me if I rush
When I tell you I am yours
As we run where the lovers run

Run with the sound
I won't let you down

Would you swim from the rivers edge
Could you jump where the lovers jump
Would you stay with me tonight
Let's be the runners in the mercy rain
Be my bridge when I fear to cross
As we run where the lovers run

Run with the sound
I won't let you down

Swim, swim

Peter Murphy, Let Me Love You

Love me now
Until the end of time
See me over your heart
In the night
Never let me go until you see
All the scenery and faking
Fall away from me

Oh let me love you in the morning light
Oh let me give you cover until it's alright
Oh let me feel you come into my arms

The saints have come over
They stayed all night long
Save your heart till the end of time they say
Come over now, approach from every side
Give your heart till the end of time 

Oh let me love you in the morning light
Oh let see you over until it's alright
Oh I'll fall so blue, come into your arms
Oh let me see you over, until it's all

Peter Murphy , Cuts You Up

stolen~

I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds

You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout

Hold the secret close
I hear you say

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean

Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
We'll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing color
Spinning yarns

You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you high

You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, la la la la la la la la

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean

Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what
Seems out of place

Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up

It's o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away

Cuts you up
And spits you out
Keeps you walking
But never shout

Oh
Oh
