In Dreams
When the cold of winter comes
Starless Night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain
But in dreams
I still hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again
When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again
-Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack
Aníron
O môr herion i dhû
Ely siriar, êl síla
Ai! Aníron Undómiel
Tiro! Êl eria e môr
I 'lîr en êl luitha 'uren
Ai! Aníron.....
I Desire (english translation of Aníron)
From darkness I understand the night
Dreams flow, a star shines
Ah! I desire Evenstar
Look! A star rises out of the darkness
The song or the star enchants my heart
Ah! I desire.....
-The Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack
Miss You
Remember way back when
You were my only friend?
Now, those days I lack
But I can’t bring you back
I want to feel those things
The ones that your love brings
The feelings that we shared
Now I am just so scared
There are things I can’t say
Things I think of every day
Thoughts I leave unspoken
Now that my heart is broken
I want you to be mine
Even just to pass the time
With you, there is no bore
You encourage my heart to soar.

All I Can’t Have
At first glance, I knew
Standing there, now sitting
Waiting, burning
For all I can’t have
Then talking,
Speaking, listening
All the while burning
For all I can’t have
Now walking
Going the extra mile
Cold, yet burning
For all I can’t have
Then I have it.
You, what I wanted
Now leaving
You’re all I can’t have.
-Mel Maurice
(Untitled)
Do you think of me
Or is it only her?
You think you want me too
But I want you to be sure
With her you weren’t happy
Do you want that again?
Listen to your conscience
It will help you in the end
I want you to be happy
You need to be free
This we can achieve
Together, you and me.
-Mel Maurice
Waiting
I saw you
Once, maybe twice
Expecting you to leave
But still you waited.
It meant a lot,
You waiting for me
Looking so damn good
Sitting there, waiting
You stayed longer
I knew you better
It’s like you waited
Waited for me
Now it’s all been said
And I’m walking
Not sure I’ll make it…
Wait for me
There you are,
Waiting, but not for me
You’ve waited long enough
It’s time to go
My tears fall
Will you come back?
Now it’s my turn
I’m waiting.
-Mel Maurice
Flying Free
There is a place I call my own
Where I can stand by the sea
And look beyond the things I've known
And dream that I might be free.
Like the bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and Flying Free.
But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain
Time goes swiftly on its way
All too soon we've lost today
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long that life is through
So life's a song I must sing
A gift of love I must share
And when I see the joy it brings
My spirits soar through the air
Like that bird up in the sky
Life has taught me how to fly
For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is Flying Free!

Isn't It Beautiful? (English Translation)
My heart was swimming
in words gathered by the wind
My voice bounded
into a cloud-carried tomorrow
My heart trembled
in the moon-swayed mirror
Soft tears
spilled with a stream of stars
Isn't it beautiful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
to your town, your home, in your arms
I dream of being
against your chest
my body in your keeping
disappearing into the evening
Words halted by wind are
a gentle illusion
A tomorrow torn by clouds is
the voice of a distant place
My heart that had been
in a moon-blurred mirror that flowed
Those stars that trembled and spilled
cannot hide my tears
Isn't it beautiful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
to your town, your home, in your arms
My dream of
your face
that I softly touch
melts in the morning
-Kazushige Nojima
You Belong To Me
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Jason Wade (Lifehouse)
