My Corner for Education

I just bought the CD two days ago. KT Tunstall is the singer from UK, born to Chinese mother and Irish father but adopted at birth. KT grew up in St. Andrew, Scotland. I think she is quite a talented song writer. These are the three popular songs on the CD.









KT TUNSTALL LYRICS



"Other Side Of The World"



Over the sea and far away

She's waiting like an iceberg

Waiting to change

But she's cold inside

She wants to be like the water



All the muscles tighten in her face

Buries her soul in one embrace

They're one and the same

Just like water



The fire fades away

Most of everyday

Is full of tired excuses

But it's too hard to say

I wish it were simple

But we give up easily

You're close enough to see that

You're the other side of the world to me



On comes the panic light

Holding on with fingers and feelings alike

But the time has come

To move along



The fire fades away



Can you help me

Can you let me go

And can you still love me

When you can't see me anymore



The fire fades away











"Suddenly I See"



Her face is a map of the world

Is a map of the world

You can see she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

And everything around her is a silver pool of light

The people who surround her feel the benefit of it

It makes you calm

She holds you captivated in her palm



Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me



I feel like walking the world

Like walking the world

You can hear she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white

Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember

What you heard

She likes to leave you hanging on her word



Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me



And she's taller than most

And she's looking at me

I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine

Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower

A big strong tower

She got the power to be

The power to give

The power to see



Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me











"Black Horse & The Cherry Tree"



[{} contain lines from album's Deluxe Edition (2006). Also the ending of the song is shorter, without ad-libs]



{Two, three, four}



(woo-hoo, woo-hoo) [throughout the whole song]



Well my heart knows me better than I know myself

So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.

I came across a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.



I felt a little fear upon my back

He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking."

When the big black horse said, "Hey lady!" {When the big black horse said, "Look this way"}

Said, "Look this way, will you marry me?" {Said, "Hey, lady, will you marry me?"}



But I said no, no, no, no-no-no

I said no, no, you're not the one for me

No, no, no, no-no-no

I said no, no, you're not the one for me



And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours,

So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.

But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,

And it won't forgive me after all these years



So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy

And now I've got a hole for the world to see



And it said no, no, no, no-no-no

Said no, no, you're not the one for me

No, no, no, no-no-no-no

Said no, no, you're not the one for me



{Not the one for me}



Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

You're not the one for me

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

You're not the one for me



(do, do, do, do)



Well I was

Big black horse and a cherry tree

I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

Big black horse and a cherry tree

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

No, no, no, no

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

No, no, no, no

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

I can't quite get there cause my heart's forsaken me

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
