some Heather Nova lyrics..

[hallavaris]

River Of Life

I wanted to feel like a bird
On the wings of time
But it was not our time

I wanted to lie for a while
In the fields and dream
But it was not to be

’Cause sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life

I wanted to hold you so long
In the dark till dawn
But I could feel you go

I wanted to sing in my head
I could hear a song
But it was not our song

Oh, yes
Sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life

The river of life

Sometimes you got to let love go
Even though it's hurting, even though
And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life

And sometimes you got to let love slide
With the river
The river of life

Storm

Storm's out on the water
I watch it getting closer
Are you coming home ?
All these years we've wandered
Trying to break the cycle
All these years of hope

And my heart feels the strain
But it makes me feel like i am alive again
Well sometimes in our lives
We need the pain

So I find some candles
Put out all the anchors
Pull the shutters down
It makes me think about us
All those things that got lost
Still we're holding on

And the storm rushes in
But it makes me feel like i'm alive again
But sometimes in our lives
We need the pain

The wind, the rain
The storm will wash us clean again
The wind, the rain
The storm will shake us up again
The wind, the rain
The storm will make us think again
The wind
And maybe we can start again

Storm's out on the water
Sea and sky become one
Are you coming home ?

I Wanna Be Your Light

Nothing's promised in this life
So I am thankful
That we're here tonight

Take my hand and let's look up
At the stars
We can make them ours

I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way

I wanna be your star
Let me be your star
I'll light your way
Across the milky way

I don't wanna see you cry
All that pain we hold inside
Life is waiting, don't forget
You are free, I'll help you see

I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way

I wanna be your star
Let me be your star
I'll light your way
Across the milky way

There's no time in life to judge
Only time enough for love
So as another night slips by
Let us dance beneath the sky

I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way

I wanna be your star
Let me be your star
I'll light your way
Across the milky way

I wanna be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
Across the milky way
The milky way

I don't have any Heather Nova albums myself but I've listened to her music quite much from Sam.

And Yay for a letter! :D

I've got her new album as well.. ...but it's not as good as Storm. I'll lend it to you sometime..
