Cold (Lennox)
from "Diva"

Come to me
Do and be done with me
(Cold Cold Cold)
Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)
Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath
Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

I want to be with you baby
Slip me inside of your heart
Don't I belong to you baby
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that
I loved you right from the start...
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain't that just the way things are...

Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)

Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

Here's the lyrics of my favorite songs from DIVA: primitive, stay by me and the gift;

PRIMITIVE
sweetheart
the sun has set
all red and primitive above our heads
blood stained on an ageless sky
wipe your tears and let the salt stains dry
let them all run dry
all run dry...

sweetheart
take me to bed
that's where all our prayers are said
whispered silent in the night
that's how all our dreams take flight
let them all go by
all go by

for time will catch us in both hands
to blow away like grains of sand
ashes to ashes rust to dust
this is what becomes of us

sweetheart
send me to sleep
pray to God our hoped to keep
take our fears and make us strong
lead us to where we belong
and let it all go by
all go by...

STAY BY ME
stay by me
and make the moment last
please take these lips
even if i have been kissed
a million times

and i don't care if there is no tomorrow
when i could die here in your arms
even if the stars have made us blind
we're blind we're blind
so blind in love

sweet darling
don't you know that we're no different to anyone
we stumble
we falter
but we're no different than anyone

and all the winter snow has melted down
into a pool of silver water
and we were standing in a thunder could
dark as your hair
dark as your hair

THE GIFT
darling don't you understand
i feel so ill at ease
the room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
take this guilted cage of pain and set me free
take this overcoat of shame
it neverdid belong to me
it never did belong to me

i need to go outside
i need to leave the smoke
'cause i can't go on living in this same sick joke
it seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
now that you have given me the perfect gift
you have given me the gift

for we have fallen from our shelves
to face the truth about ourselves
and we have tumbled from our trees
tumbled from our trees

and i can almost....
i can almost feel the rain falling
don't you know it feels so good
so let's go out into the rain again
just like we said we always would

enjoy, Robin.

[Tiny Dancer]

Here ya go, enjoy!

Cold
written by Annie Lennox

Come to me
Run to me

Do and be done with me

(Cold cold cold)

Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)
Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath

Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

I want to be with you baby
Slip me inside of your heart
Don't I belong to you baby
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that
I loved you right from the start...
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain't that just the way things are...

Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)

Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

Cheers,
