The Civil Wars Lyrics

"Dust To Dust"

It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long

All your acting, your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long

Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust

You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely too long

Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust

You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely too long

Taken from the Turkish series Winter Sun now on NetFlix,
II loved this story so much it helped me to be thankful
at this moment in time for all those who have gone before
me and know that my life has been enriched by there
presence and it is only really until we meet again.

Love to all you my dear dn family of friends and to those
you have loved and have had to say goodbye.....

Borak, "Is that Mete? You look so happy."
Sede, "Yes, we were the happiest couple on earth."

Borak, "Where was this ? Seda , "Sile, we would often go there, when he was alive that is."

Borak to Seda,
"I know it hurts but you should count yourself lucky for having
loved someone so much."
We're all going to die someday. It's much better to love someone and lose them, than never finding someone to love.

We all have someone we can't forget, we all do.
I know it feels unbearable sometimes but what if we had
never had them at all ? Imagine what life would be like.
It would be so hard.

The love we feel for them gives our lives meaning, no
matter how much it hurts.I know it all feels too brief but
the love we feel lives on.

What we shared and felt in that short time gives life its
meaning. We'll see them in heaven. In the meantime we should be grateful."

Beauty is not all there is of poetry. It must contain the truth. It is not simply an oak, rude and grand, neither is it simply a vine. It is both. Around the oak of truth runs the vine of beauty. Robert Green Ingersoll

To Hester, all the world seemed full of melody. Even the clouds in the sky sailed slowly along in time to a stately march in her brain, or danced to the tune of a merry schottische that sounded for her ears alone. And when she saw the sunset from the hill behind her home, there was always music then — low and tender if the colors were soft and pale-tinted, grand and awful if the wind blew shreds and tatters of storm-clouds across a purpling sky. ~Eleanor H. Porter, "A Delayed Heritage," 1904

De Santany� vaig partir' from the album 'Mediterraneo' by Christina Pluhar / L'Arpeggiata

L'Arpeggiata records Cavalli: l'Amore innamorato (Armonia)
https://youtu.be/lxKZxf2EoFc


In L’Amore innamorato Christina Pluhar's ensemble L'Arpeggiata and sweet-voiced sopranos Nuria Rial and Hana Blaž�kov� offer us a gem, a rarity that cleverly borrows the title of a mysterious opera by Cavalli, thought to have been lost or perhaps never premiered.


Hana Blaž�kov� (born 2 December 1980) is a Czech soprano and harpist. She is focused on Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music, appearing internationally. She has recorded as a member of the Bach Collegium Japan, among many others.

the harpist here is Sarah Louise Ridy, a baroque harpist who plays with many groups but not Omnia. The harpist from Omnia is Jenny Evans van der Harten.

Sezen Aksu - Ahdım Olsun
https://youtu.be/uIuefNI2fOc

Let It Be My Oath

The years passed, Ah, I recognised late
I have understood that I counted the days in Vain
I gaped at the passing day
I always belonged to yesterday

My childness is scorched
My uouth is untidy
There is no benefaction from my adulthood

Life, (being) stubborn to the fate
I will live you from the beginning
Let it be my oath*

I blew, I rained
I missed (lost) the fast times
Regrets, hostilities
The complaints of my tongue doesn't end**

My childness is scorched
My uouth is untidy
There is no benefaction from my adulthood

Life, (being) stubborn to the fate
I will live you from the beginning
Let it be my oath*

Poem in verses by Ottavio Rinuccini:

Zephyr returns and gentle words
from fa grateful ago It is the footer he dissolves in the waves
and mormoranda among the green fronds,
makes danzar to the beautiful sound su'l meadow flowers.

Garlanded crin Phyllis and Chloris
notes tempering their care and joyous;
and by mountains and valleys and ime profond
have dealt harmony singing the caves.
Vaguer rises in the sky the dawn, e'l sun,
sheds more light d'or; the most pure silver
boasts of Teti the beautiful cerulean mantle.

Sol I, for abandoned forests and sun,
the ardor of two beautiful eyes e'l my torment,
as does my good fortune, I cry hor hor hand.

"My Funny Valentine" feat. Sting (2005)
My Funny Valentine (Live Audio from The Wilshire Theatre) (feat. Sting)" by Chris Botti

https://youtu.be/eryKY1fhUlo

My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't, please don't change a hair for me
Not if, not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's
Every day will be, every day will be Valentine's Day

Don't You Remember
Adele
When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
No final kiss to seal anything
I had no idea of the state we were in
I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember, don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby please remember me once more
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memories?
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do, the less I know
But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember, don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby please…
