Close your eyes, and follow the rainbow,Far away it rises , far away it goesThere's somewhere a wonderland, where we'll stand together
Close your eyes, and follow the riverfar away it starts, far away it flowsThere's somewhere a wonderland, where we'll stand togetherA wonder.

Who were you to try to find me,
You know I wasn’t wanting to stay,
You hold me close,
And I fall away.

Mmmmmmm.

When you hold me close,
I lose my way.

And do you still think of me?
Did you know I was afraid?
When you held me close,
And I lost my way.

Ooooooh oooooooh.

Wake me up
When I’ve learned how to forget
That you exist
That you were ever in my head
I’m sick of feeling like I’ll never feel anything again
I’m feeling like I’m falling without you to catch me and
All of a sudden
Cold sweat comes running Down my neck
I see your face on the street Was it you
Or was it someone else
I’m lost without you
I am hungry for you
But I am never going back to where you’re at
I am lost without you
I can’t stop thinking ‘bout you Without you
I am just half of who I am

Sun goes down,Dark all around,Look away, go away now,Nothing left to say now.
Doors stay closed,What was new now is old,Run away, turn away now,Nothing you can say now.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.
Tears fall down,Never make a sound,You can go, you can go now,Nothing you can do now.
Life goes on,Forever holding on,Another day to take away now,Nothing left to say now.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound.
It falls away,The cracks appear in the glass,Facing the ghost of the past,Making the heartaches last,It’s up to me,The keeper of my destiny,Too far for the eye to see,Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

DEAD OPERA STAR
I hope you'll forgive, I leave you tonight
I made my time, I'm saying goodbye
The show must go on, I feel so tired
I know it's a shame, but you will survive

I give my last breath, flee from the light
I must confess I had a good time
I'm hoping my songs will never die
Hoping they stay, a breeze in the night
Oh no,
A dead opera star
Oh no,
A dead opera star

Verse 1
As the blackbird in the spring
'neath the willow tree
Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus
Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2
Take my heart and take my ring
I give my all to thee
Take me for eternity
Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus
Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3
In her blush the rose was born
'twas music when she spoke
In her eyes the light of morn
Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4
Aura Lee the bird may flee
The willow' golden hair
Then the wintry winds may be
Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5
Yet if thy blue eyes I see
Gloom will soon depart
For to me sweet Aura Lee
Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus
Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swall-ows in the air.
