REKHA LUTHER    LYRICS 

RACING

 

THE POETS ARE MARCHING

THEY MAKE A MIGHTY SOUND

I KNOW YOU WANNA LEAVE THIS TOWN

 

AND THEY SAID THAT BEAUTY 

WAS SUCH A WASTE

IT’S FUNNY CAUSE IT’S ALL I’VE EVER CHASED

 

AND I’M OUT HERE LOVING DEMONS

CAUSE MY HEARTS BEEN MESSED AROUND

YOU SAY WAIT A LITTLE LONGER

WHILE YOU WAVE THAT FLAG AROUND

 

AND I STILL COME UP GASPING

SOMEHOW WANTING MORE

AND THERE’S A SWEETNESS ON MY SHOULDER

AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SURE

 

AND WE’RE RACING 

RACING LIKE THE SPEED OF NIGHT

SHE’S BEGGING YOU TO 

HOLD HER TIGHT

BEGGING YOU TO

HOLD HER TIGHT

 

WARM SKIN A MEMORY

MAKES A MIGHTY SOUND

YOUR WET HAIR AND YOUR HOPE- 

DRIPPING ON THE GROUND

TAKE UP THIS OFFERING

LIKE A FORGOTTEN FRIEND

WHO WILL BE THERE IN THE END

 

I’M OUT HERE LOVING DEMONS

CAUSE MY HEART’S TOO HIGH TO GROUND

I WISH I’D TOUCHED YOUR HAND

I WAS TOO BUSY LOOKING DOWN

 

AND I STILL COME UP GASPING

SOMEHOW WANTING MORE

AND THERE’S A SWEETNESS ON MY SHOULDER

AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SURE

 

AND WE’RE RACING 

RACING LIKE THE SPEED OF NIGHT

SHE’S BEGGING YOU TO 

HOLD HER TIGHT

BEGGING YOU TO

HOLD HER TIGHT

AND WE’RE RACING 

RACING LIKE THE SPEED OF NIGHT

SHE’S BEGGING YOU TO 

HOLD HER TIGHT

BEGGING YOU TO

HOLD HER TIGHT

YOUR YOUTH

​

Your shoe lace was loose

The lace on my skin

Made me wanna strip bare, and dive in

 

On the banks you said

All of this could be ours

But one should never trust, a summer time vow

 

Oh you kiss me on the grass and we’re flying

And I can hear the doors still slamming

And on a bed of sand

We drank hope from our hands

You said you’d do all that you can

 

But we grow up

I hear the man speaking peace on the radio

We cry out

Where is all this love supposed to go

We grew up

I loved your youth, as above and so below

We cry out

Where is all this love supposed to go

 

I guess you made me shy

Or maybe I lost myself

It’s hard to say sometimes

 

Your naive smile

All of this could be ours

But one should never trust, a summer time vow

 

Oh you kiss me on the grass and we’re flying

And I can hear the doors still slamming

And on a bed of sand

We nailed hope to our hands

I guess that time had other plans

 

We grow up

I hear the man speaking peace on the radio

We cried out

Where is all this love supposed to go

We grew up

I loved your youth, as above and so below

We cry out

Where is all this love supposed to go

 

We grow up

I hear the man speaking peace on the radio

We cry out

Where is all this love supposed to go

We grow up

I loved your youth, as above and so below

We cry out

Where is all this love supposed to go

SACRED WATER 

 

I could swim out even further

Hold on to your skin

You look so good in the water

I could swim out even further

Hold on to your skin

You look so good in the water

 

But I cling to you, you cling to me

The sea grows high

And we forget how to breathe

 

We rip each others skin

So we can lick each others wounds

Cause we like the way it tastes

The healing is just as sweet as the pain

So we go round and round and start it all again

 

Oh we drift on

Oh we drift on

Oh we drift on and on

 

There’s a weight, a lift off my skin

The release of a heart that gives in

I could feel it, the moment we let go

It was nothing special, just the end of the world

 

We rip each others skin

So we can lick each others wounds

Cause we like the way it tastes

The healing is just as sweet as the pain

So we go round and round and start it all again

 

We go on and on

Oh we drift on and on 

Oh we drift on and on and on

We drift on and on and on

On and on and on

We drift on and on and on

CATCH YOUR BREATH

​

He was strong, he was fast, he was loud 

He was tough, he was bold, he was proud 

He grabbed her like some rough old thing 

And she kissed him like she cared 

Wide eyed with love songs in her head 

 

I’ve seen you before

In this sleepy town

Watching me when there’s no one else around
I can play your fool

You take it so seriously

Stop dreaming of those castles

When you’ve never seen the sea 

 

He said take a little moment
Catch your breath, catch your breath 

He said take a little time
Catch your breath, catch your breath 

I’m running, running
Catch your breath, catch your breath 

I’m running, running 

 

It was dark, it was warm, it was loud
I never wanted all your insults on my mouth 

I’m running, running
There’s dust on my shins
And the moon has changed
But I’m still not clean 

 

He said take a little moment
Catch your breath, catch your breath 

He said, take a little time
And I’m running, running
Catch your breath, catch your breath 

Running, running
Catch your breath, Catch your breath 

Catch your breath, catch your breath 

Catch your breath, catch your breath 

I’m running, running
Catch your breath, catch your breath 

 

He was strong, he was fast, he was loud 

He was tough, he was bold, he was proud

N O V E M B E R

 

We were dancing

But no music played

I asked, why do you look at me that way

You were stretched out like the world

Was yours for a day

It was November

It was cold

​

Ask me, have I had enough 

Time races but sometimes it's not fast enough

That dark corner room

Where the sheets are all rough

So stay

It's cold

​

Everything for a song

Everything for a song

​

Like a serenade, a condemned man's walk

Your eyes to mine

If these walls could talk

I love our goodbye's

'Cause it always means more

That blue night dress, tied to the door

​

So ask me

Have I had enough

A choir of thoughts when the going gets tough

It could have been simple, but hey it never was

So stay 

It's cold

 

Everything for a song

Everything for a song

​

Dance close to me 

Though no music plays 

And let's pretend, we'll never part ways

I'll go back to him, and I'll count the days 

'Till it's November

And it's cold

LIKE A SAILOR TIED TO LAND

 

YOU SAY LOVE IS

GRANTING FREEDOM

BUT YOU CAST SHADOWS ON MY SKIN

​

WE BURN BRIDGES

AND WE GROW FLOWERS

AND PRAY OUR SOULS WILL COME OUT

CLEAN 

​

I DID ALL THAT YOU ASKED ME

I DANCED FOR YOU ALONE

I KNOW I MADE YOU LEAVE ME

YOU NEVER FELT LIKE HOME 

​

SO LINGER NOW FORGIVENESS

SURRENDER, HOLD MY HAND

I'LL BOW DOWN, BREAK SOFTLY

LIKE A SAILOR TIED TO LAND

​

YOU CANNOT HOLD THAT

YOU CANNOT HOLD THAT

WHICH CAN'T BE TAMED

WILD ONE

 

I drew a line and you crossed it

In a cloak made of gold and wild

We left our ship full of promises

Abandoned like an unborn child

And I’m left counting the trees that line the place where I live

I dreamt of the forest that you run to

I scream at the sky and I know I’m losing you

I scream at the sky I know I’m losing you

 

All you ever wanted was a wild one

Waiting to be tough now

Waiting to be tough now

All you ever wanted was a wild one

I would have given it all

The sweetest

Now we’ve given it all 

The white sky’s come undone

Now I have come undone

In the arms of a wild one

 

Maybe I didn’t think it through

Its funny cause I thought I didn’t have to 

But the trees touch the sky

She goes quiet you don’t ask why

And you think I’m strong because these arms have carried you

Pushing down from the weight of loving you

I dream of the forest that you’ve run to

You scream at the sky and I know I’m losing you

 

All you ever wanted was a wild one

Waiting to be tough now

Waiting to be tough now

All you ever wanted was a wild one

I would have given it all

The sweetest

Now we’ve given it all 

The white sky’s come undone

Now I have come undone

In the arms of a wild one

 

I watch you move and she goes quiet 

A small of taste of mercy she grows quiet

What’s the sense in leaving

She grows quiet

And you don’t ask why

Scream at the sky and I know I’m losing you

 

All you ever wanted was a wild one

Waiting to be tough now

Waiting to be tough now

All you ever wanted was a wild one

I would have given it all

The sweetest

Now we’ve given it all 

The white sky’s come undone

Now I have come undone

In the arms of a wild one

GYPSY BLOOD

​

Gypsy blood

I think I lost my way
A lonely girl
Chasing love away
The girl and the believer

The girl and the believer

​

Dancing into darkness

Got my best dress on

Sweet like whiskey sour

Or a plan gone wrong

The girl and the believer

The girl and the believer

I meant no trouble I just want a soft place to fall

Life’s sweet, wandering
Don’t let it catch you, the sadness comes

Don’t let me love you, I’ll always run

Life’s sweet, wandering
Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me fall

I’ll let you love me and run from it all

Life’s sweet

​

They say she was a gypsy

Travelled from town to town

They say she was trouble

Her last lover drowned

The girl and the believer

The girl and the believer

I meant no trouble

I just want a soft place to fall

​

Life’s sweet, wandering
Don’t let it catch you, the sadness comes

Don’t let me love you, I’ll always run

Life’s sweet, wandering
Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me fall

I’ll let you love me and run from it all

Life’s sweet

Ain’t life sweet

Life’s sweet, wandering
Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me fall

I’ll let you love me and run from it all

Life’s sweet
