Beauty
  james iha - let it come down
in a minute dear, in a whole second, it'll come clear
do you see beauty, do you see love
right away dear, in the desperate way, no one hears you call
do you see beauty, do you see love
in the morning light you lay by my side
in the evening it gets so your love begins to shine
the world is changing but my love will remain
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
theres a love that never comes back down
it feels like something is gonna happen now
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
do you see beauty, do you see love
love it calls your name no matter how you try
and I can't recall a time when I didn't love you
do you see beauty, do you see love, do you see anything at all
in all this time we waste precious time you waste
I can't hide it anymore
I can't hide it anymore
love, love, love
love is what you keep
love is what you need

Be Strong Now
  james iha - let it come down - be strong now
little darling belle with such a fragile shell
in the powerful way that love seems to make her all regret it now
and if she'd only say what's wrong- she can't on
you've got to be strong now
and if I come and hold you now
you'll be safe and sound
little lonely face that no one ever sees
you see the thing she believes is life is bittersweet if she'd
open up to me, and its the only thing she dreams,
you gotta believe
you've got to be strong now
and if I come and hold you now
you've got to be strong now
if I hold you now
if I hold you now
if I hold you now
ooh god if I could change a thing tonight we won't
be lonely, ooh god if I could change a thing,
why does it have to be this way

Country Girl
  james iha - let it come down - titre précédent : "country song"
hallelujah, I'm in love with a girl from the country
she's got no money just a smile I'm in love with
we go running I don't care where to till the mourning
there's a part of you that never dies I'm in love with
if I give you everything you'll ever need and it all comes down to
your half smile, country mile, angel child
when night is falling you dream of city lights
you hear them calling you hold my hand and then we
cry i'm in love with
and I can't find any other way to live and it all comes back to
your half smile, country mile, angel child
want you to stay, want you to sway, want you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you

My Advice
  james iha - let it come down - be strong now
another day that passes just seems like a laugh
we had months and days, can we talk is it ok
were still on top of this world we made
if were still on top why do you stare that way
now I understand how every part of a man dies
theres just one thing left and thats a heart
that needs mending
we're still on top of this world and were still on top
if you slip away
my advice to you is stay with me Im telling you
my advice yes my advice is to
stay with me for a little while
talk with me can we reconcile
stay with me tonight
my advice to you is stay with me no Im telling you
my advice which you never listen to
stay with me for a little while
talk with me if Im in denial
and stay with me tonight tonight

One and Two
  james iha - let it come down
  live le 15/01/98 au viper room de los angeles
you and I are one and two
if you count we were both torn in two
you and I are one and two
both our hearts beat as one did
but is it ok, but is it ok if I runaway, is it ok
when your love has faded away
if I hold you tight and never let go
if I hold you tight and never let show
the I feel all around me I know its you
you and I are hopeless too
if I give you all my heart could and Im true (I need you)
all my life I waited for
and there's nothing left and theres no one else
here live for anymore
is it ok, is it ok if I can't escape in good faith
or live just one more longer day
If I hold you tight and never let go
if I hold you tight and never let show
the way god moves deep inside of you I swear its you
if I hold you tight and never let go
if I hold you tight and never let go
if I hold you in arms forever all around me
all around me and I swear its you

Silver String
  james iha - let it come down
  live le 30/03/98 au top note theater de chicago - 31/03/98 au mercury lounge de new york city
I need you dear, you lay sleeping by my side
and I worry dear but things you say are bright and gay
and I warm to your words of encouragement
and not a soul knows what I will know
were lovers and were honestly
together somehow and tied with silver string
we'll live forever and ever
and if you decide
downhearted, down cause we live apart
no, I can't fake it not for one more day
if theres someplace we can go
if we can make a home
it's up to us to cope
in you I trust in all things theres a must
and I will live again
and if you decide
and if you decide

Sound of Love

  live le 15/01/98 au viper room de los angeles - 30/03/98 au top note theater de chicago
  31/03/98 au mercury lounge de new york city
the sound of love is oceans far away
and I can love and I can shake your faith
the sound that beckons me is from your heart
and I can't begin to say cause I don't really know
just where I've been every desire my heart gives in
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know I have to wait my own good time
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know that we can make it all work out
I found you lost and longing, a troubled past
lets begin again cause she's not going to last
before this day is done every desire under the sun
and I know that we can make it all work out
in the daylight love seems to come and go
but no more indecision, no more heartfelt division
I've seen a vision
the sound of love is passing as cities decay
people always searching a lonely disease
overrunning run right to me babe
I swear that this love is strong
It's going to carry me, over this dream, and every desire
your love it takes a lot of faith
and I know I have to wait my own good time
your love I know I can't escape it
and I know that we can make it all work out
no more indecision, no more heartfelt division
I've seen a vision

did you see my heart
the one that was broken
inside
and did you see my heart
the one that was broken
was never meant to last

from all the things you need
don't run and hide
from thee
take care
from all the things you see
don't run and hide
from thee
now you know
if you only let it go

the one that was broken
was never meant to last

the one that was broken
inside
and did you see my heart
the one that was broken

Winter
  james iha - let it come down
love will carry me over land to the sea
take me far away to a home where i'll stay
I give you part of me and thru your eyes I will see
a place where there is light and all the stars are out at night
and I came calling out your name
and I came calling out in vain
and I walk and no one knows my name
and I come will you help me find my way
theres another way if I leave here today
I'm down and I'm blue am I hearing right
will I come find you, if I fall away in there
and I came calling out in vain
and I came calling out in vain
if it's over the highest peak I will go if you cover me
oh I know I'll fail oh I know I'm weak but its you again
over and over I hear angels singing love
I dreamed I found you, yearning tides love the moon
hold me in your mourning light
Jesus loves the first light
