The Hanging Garden - The Cure

Shining Mountain, my eyes! Spindrift flying in gusts Slow your pulse Slow your pulse Tall dreams before first light Drift off to snow capped highs Slow your pulse Slow your pulse Slow, my eyes Slow, my eyes

Are you, are you Coming to the tree They strung up a man They say murdered three. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be We met at midnight In the hanging tree. Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where dead man called out For his love to flee. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be We met at midnight In the hanging tree. Are you, are you Coming to the tree Where I told you to run, So we'd both be free. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be We met at midnight In the hanging tree. Are you, are you Coming to the tree Wear a necklace of rope, Side by side with me. Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be We met at midnight In the hanging tree.

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall I know he's there, but I just had to call Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Don't leave me hanging on the telephone I heard your mother now she's going out the door Did she go to work or just go to the store All those things she said, I told you to ignore Oh why can't we talk again Oh why can't we talk again Oh why can't we talk again Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Don't leave me hanging on the telephone It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong I want to tell you something you've known all along Don't leave me hanging on the telephone I had to interrupt and stop this conversation Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection Oh I can't control myself Oh I can't control myself Oh I can't control myself Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Hang up and run to me Whoah, hang up and run to me Whoah, hang up and run to me Whoah, hang up and run to me Whoah oh oh oh run to me

I never felt like this with anyone before You only have to smile and I'm dizzy You make the world go round A thousand times an hour Just touch my head And send me spinning I never felt like this with anyone before You show me colours and I'm crying You hold my eyes in yours And open up the world I can't believe all of this Can't believe all this I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything You are everything I never felt like this with anyone before You fill my head full of rainbows And all the rainbows end Is every step you take Just to be with you forever I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything You are everything (You are everything)

(One, two) Yeah I know who you remind me of A girl I think I used to know Yeah I'd see her when the day got colder On those days when it felt quite low You know I even think that she stared like you She used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven And make like I just wasn't there And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name And sometimes we would spend the night Just rolling about on the floor And I remember Even though it felt soft at the time I always used to wake up sore You know I even think that she smiled like you She used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away And stay like that for quite a while And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her But I never even caught her name
