[Verse] In the heart of this small town, lives a lady named Jane, With her handkerchiefs and tissues, causing quite the refrain. Folks around here, they won't let it rest, Sayin' Jane must munch 'em, like they're some sort of fest. [Verse 2] At the corner café, you can hear the talk, About Jane and her tissues, in their usual mock. Spillin' their coffee, while they laugh and they jest, Poor Jane just shrugs, knowing she tries her best. [Chorus] Jane folds 'em, holds 'em, tissues in her hand, In the eyes of the gossip, she can't understand. "Is she eatin' 'em?" they tease with a grin, But Jane knows it's laughter, in the wind. [Verse 3] Walking down Main Street, head held high, Jane hears the whispers, but she won't cry. In the morning sun, she lifts her chin, Tissues in her pocket, she won't give in. [Verse 4] Sitting on her porch, knitting away, Thinking 'bout the words they always say. Jane's got a heart, stronger than gold, She won't let the teasing take hold. [Chorus] Jane folds 'em, holds 'em, tissues in her hand, In the eyes of the gossip, she can't understand. "Is she eatin' 'em?" they tease with a grin, But Jane knows it's laughter, in the wind.

Verse 1 ) I never knew love ‘til I saw it in your eyes, Felt it in your touch, heard it in your sighs. You let me in, let me call you mine, Gave me a world I thought I’d never find. You took my boys, held ‘em close like your own, Gave ‘em a mother where they had none. You were the shelter in a storm I couldn’t fight, The only damn thing ever felt so right. ( Chorus ) So pour me a drink, make it strong, make it burn, Drown out the echo of lessons unlearned. I should’ve been more, I should’ve been there, Told you the words when you needed me to care. But if ever you wonder, if ever you doubt, My heart’s still yours, babe, don’t shut me out. I’ll wait in the dark, I’ll wander alone, Till your light leads me back to the place we called home. ( Verse 2 ) I was your rock, but I crumbled instead, Couldn’t catch the words before they left unsaid. I see it now, too little, too late, Held all the love, but I left too much to fate. I wasn’t enough to pull you from the deep, To tell you the truth when you needed belief. I failed you, darlin’, I know that’s true, But I swear on my soul, I never stopped loving you. ( Chorus ) So pour me a drink, make it strong, make it burn, Drown out the echo of lessons unlearned. I should’ve been more, I should’ve been there, Told you the words when you needed me to care. But if ever you wonder, if ever you doubt, My heart’s still yours, babe, don’t shut me out. I’ll wait in the dark, I’ll wander alone, Till your light leads me back to the place we called home. ( Bridge ) Maybe one day, I’ll hold you again, Call you my love, call you my friend. Till that day, I’ll walk this road, Lost in the shadow of the love we wrote. ( Outro ) So here’s to you, the best I ever knew, To the love I lost, but never will lose. I’ll keep this heart wide open, just in case, Someday you find your way back to this place.

(Verso 1) Quindici anni e non sentirli, io e te tra brindisi e sorrisi. Sempre in giro a cercar trattorie, tra mille storie e nuove follie. (Pre-Ritornello) E se la vita ci fa un
[Verse] They paint the sky with hues unseen Buildin' dreams out of smoke It's obscene They hand you stars on a plastic string But the shine won't last It don't mean a thing [Verse 2] Promises wrapped in glittered lies A circus show under hollow skies You reach for gold but it's just dust Their kingdom of promises crumbles to rust [Chorus] Paper castles burn in the rain Built on hope Then swallowed by pain A fleeting fix A fragile bliss A hollow echo left in a kiss [Verse 3] They sell you freedom for a price unseen A leash disguised as a velvet dream You dance their tune You play the part But they never promised you'd keep your heart [Bridge] Shadowed deals struck under neon glow Blinded by bright lights You didn’t know They take the best and leave the worst And then they leave you with the curse [Chorus] Paper castles burn in the rain Built on hope Then swallowed by pain A fleeting fix A fragile bliss A hollow echo left in a kiss
[Verse] Kažu da nema većeg zlata Nego duše koja s tobom šeta U tvom osmijehu sunce sja Uz tebe bogatstvo imam ja [Verse 2] Pola vijeka ti si znak Svjetionik kroz noćni mrak Draga Vesna moj ponos si Znaj Sretan rođendan želim ti do kraja traj [Chorus] Jer ti si blago što srce nosi Svaka minuta u tvojoj kosi S tobom svaki dan ima sjaj Vesno draga tebe čuvam znaj [Verse 3] Vrijeme prolazi al ti si ista Duša nježna i srce čista Svaki trenutak s tobom vrijedi Ljubav Vesna uvijek predvodi [Bridge] Pola vijeka sad zračiš vedro Kao sunce uvijek sredi sve vrijedno S tobom godine su samo broj Vesno draga čast mi je svijet tvoj [Chorus] Jer ti si blago što srce nosi Svaka minuta u tvojoj kosi S tobom svaki dan ima sjaj Vesno draga tebe čuvam znaj
[Verse] In a London lab A wondrous spark A moment etched in history’s arc Fleming found what nature laid A cure within a mold’s cascade [Verse 2] A dish of chaos Yet so profound A silent savior had been found A golden plague it pushed aside A fleeting bloom where hope resides [Chorus] Penicillium spun its thread Breathed life into what once was dread The quiet hero Unseen grace Changing time and saving face [Verse 3] The stain that whispered secrets loud In its spores Humanity bowed From chance to science A healing wave What the mold gave The world would save [Verse 4] A broth of life A treasure steeped An elixir of dreams in bottles they keep A fleeting meeting A fleeting sight Born from dark It brought the light [Bridge] Oh Tiny fighter Oh Humble spore Your melody lingers forever more In every cure In every breath You’ve turned the tide of life and death
(Verse 1) Late night, staring at the ceiling, Voices in my head, they got me sinking. All the words you left, they cut too deep, Now I'm stuck between a dream and memories. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, I’ve been running in circles, Chasing a love that just won’t hold. Tell me, was it ever worth it? Or was it all just getting old? (Chorus) Now I’m falling slow, Reaching but you let me go. Fading into echoes, Guess I should’ve known, should’ve known. Now I’m on my own, Drowning in the undertow. Sinking but you’ll never know, Guess I should’ve known, should’ve known. (Verse 2) Fingertips trace where you used to be, Your ghost still haunts the air I breathe. I tried to move, but I’m paralyzed, Lost inside the space you left behind. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, I’ve been running in circles, Chasing a love that just won’t hold. Tell me, was it ever worth it? Or was it all just getting old? (Chorus) Now I’m falling slow, Reaching but you let me go. Fading into echoes, Guess I should’ve known, should’ve known. Now I’m on my own, Drowning in the undertow. Sinking but you’ll never know, Guess I should’ve known, should’ve known. (Bridge) Maybe in another life, We’d get it right, we’d get it right. But this time, we burned too bright, Now all that’s left is black and white. (Outro) Now I’m falling slow... Reaching but you let me go.
[Verse] Moonlight whispers but it don’t heal Echoes dancing round what I feel Sitdown lonely na me we cry The stars they gone from yesterday’s sky [Verse 2] Your footprints vanish in the tide You left me clutching where dreams collide You papa blong pikinini I see But shadows hug tighter than memory [Chorus] Aiyooooweehhh I’m calling the breeze Bring back what drifted Mend the seas Taim you lusim My soul did too Cold night’s heartache all shades of blue [Bridge] Eeeeehhhh echoes play with the night Where is the hand that held love tight? Go lus line olgeta in the mist Lost pages from the songs we kissed [Verse 3] Hmmm hmmmmm silent fills the gaps What could’ve been tangled in the scraps Still waiting here with the moonlit sand For you and hope to hold my hand [Chorus] Aiyooooweehhh I’m calling the breeze Bring back what drifted Mend the seas Taim you lusim My soul did too Cold night’s heartache all shades of blue
(Verse 1) Mmm, there was a lady fair, as bright as summer’s day… And all who saw her beauty bright, would turn their hearts her way… Her laughter rang like silver bells, her touch like morning dew, But oh, her eyes held secrets deep, no soul could ever view… (Chorus) O lady fair, O lady bright, A shadow laced in golden light. She walks where dreams and echoes meet, A waltz upon the midnight street. (Verse 2) The winds would whisper soft her name, the rivers hum her tune, And when she danced beneath the stars, they bowed before the moon. Yet none could keep the lady fair, no arms could make her stay, For she was born of fleeting dusk, and bound to fade away… (Chorus – repeated, softer) O lady fair, O lady bright, A shadow laced in golden light. She walks where dreams and echoes meet, A waltz upon the midnight street…
