You Came To Me - Rufus Wainwright

Invite your sister Into the garden All cannot play Fist full of wild flowers Hand-picked by someone Who nearly fell (Ahhh, ahhh) Friend, foe, or feather If we row to get there I'll give my gift to you In all kinds of weather If not now not ever Please do not go Hands over your eyes In all of your sighs Is it the right time For the game we play? In all kinds of weather If not now not ever This is the right time For a holiday (La, la, la, la) You came to me In my dreams And you spoke of everything Of sweet remedies and diamond rings Holy words dig early beds

You came to me in that hour of need When I was so lost, so lonely You came to me, took my breath away Showed me the right way, the way to lead You filled my heart with love, showed me the light above Now all I want is to be with you You are my one true love, taught me to never judge Now all I want is to be with you اللّهمَ صلِّ علَى سيِّدنَا الْمُصطَفىَ مُصطَفـىَ على حَبيبِكَـ نبِيِّكـَ مُصطفـــى You came to me in a time of despair I called on you, you were there Without you what would my life mean To not know the unseen?, the worlds between For you I'd sacrifice, for you I'd give my life Any thing just to be with you I feel so lost at times by all the hurt and lies Now all I want is to be with you اللّهمَ صلِّ علَى سيِّدنَا الْمُصطَفىَ مُصطَفـىَ على حَبيبِكَـ نبِيِّكـَ مُصطفـــى Showed me right from wrong Told me to be strong Need you more than ever يارسول الله You came to me in that hour of need Need you more than ever يارسول الله You filled my heart with love, showed me the light above Now all want is to be with you You are my one true love, taught me to never judge Now all I want is to be with you اللّهمَ صلِّ علَى سيِّدنَا الْمُصطَفىَ مُصطَفـىَ على حَبيبِكَـ نبِيِّكـَ مُصطفـــى اللّهمَ صلِّ علَى سيِّدنَا الْمُصطَفىَ مُصطَفـىَ على حَبيبِكَـ نبِيِّكـَ مُصطفـــى

Everybody knows the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor and the rich get rich That's how it goes, and everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leakin' Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody's got this broken feelin' Like their father or their dog just died Everybody's talkin' to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stemmed rose, and everybody knows Everybody knows that you love me, baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Ah, give or take a night or two And everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes and everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, and everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, and everybody knows Everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you And everybody knows that you live forever Ah, when you've done a line or two And everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows, and everybody knows And everybody knows that the plague is comin' Everybody knows that it's movin' fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past And everybody knows the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose what everybody knows And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach in Malibu And everybody knows it's comin' apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows, and everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, and everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, and everybody knows... Thank you

The yellow walls are lined with portraits And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel like picking up roses There's never been such grave a matter As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes The green autumnal parks conducting And the city streets a wondrous chorus singing All these poses, oh, how can you blame me? Life is a game and true love is a trophy And you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding Reclined amongst these packs of reasons For to smokes the days away into the evenings All these poses of classical torture Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard I did go from wanting to be someone now I'm drunk and wearing flip, flops on Fifth Avenue Once you've fallen from classical virtue Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you In the green autumnal parks conducting All the city streets a wondrous chorus Singing all these poses now no longer boyish Made me a man now but who cares what that is? And you said watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, well you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding

You walk alone in the valley of life In the shadow of love Under the trees of happiness You walk alone like a baby unborn Like a father unknown Like a pocket penniless I'm happy that you really care But do you really know how scary This is for you and is for me Oh, do you really know? Do you really know? Oh, Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh, Natasha for you I sit alone on the cozy ground floor On a bench by the garden waiting also Waiting for love And thinking of all of The catty remarks I also swallow And as I've often asked before Does anybody know, know how scary This is for you and is for me? Does anybody know, anybody know? Oh, Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh, Natasha All I can do Is write a song for you Natasha

One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad wearing a kimono And see your other dad pruning roses Hope you won't turn around and go One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad playing the piano And see your other dad wearing glasses Hope that you will want to stay for a while Don't worry, I know you'll have to go One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad trying to be funny And see your other dad seeing through me Hope that you will protect your dad One day you will come to Montauk And see your dad trying to be evil And see your other dad feeling lonely Hope that you will protect him and stay Don't worry, I know you'll have to go One day, years ago in Montauk Lived a woman, now a shadow There she does wait for us in the ocean And although we want to stay for a while Don't worry we all have to go One day you will come to Montauk

Everything she sees She says she wants Everything she wants I see she gets That's my daughter in the water Everything she owns, I bought her Everything she owns That's my daughter in the water Everything she knows, I taught her Everything she knows Everything I say She takes to heart Everything she takes She takes apart That's my daughter in the water Everytime she fell, I caught her Everytime she fell That's my daughter in the water I lost every time I fought her Yeah, I lost every time Everytime she blinks She strikes somebody blind Everything she thinks Blows her tiny mind That's my daughter in the water Who'd have ever thought her? Who'd have ever thought? That's my daughter in the water I lost every time I fought her Yeah, I lost every time
