Introducing Ruth Nina Welsh

Somehow

Tell me your secrets
Tell me your past
Tell me of dreams which haunt all your nights
Of visions that last
Tell me of times
When you barely could stand
Beneath the pain
Of promises heard
And of people betrayed
Silent tears

Will you stay
Here and now
We could live
Somehow

I’ll tell you my secrets
I’ll tell you my past
Of nights when the screams shattered the silence of the dark
Of times when I barely knew how I would stand to feel the pain
Of people who vanished
Of friendships betrayed
Idle tears
The bitter cold nights
Holding on
Alone with our fears

But l will stay
Here and now
We could live
Somehow

I will not leave
I will stay
Somehow

As I wait for the sunrise
And I watch the night fall
I see shadows that echo through time
I hear voices that still call
See the fire, we watch it burn clear in the dark of the night
Hear the waves as they crash on the rocks
See a distant light
Burning bright
It’s a searching light
But can it penetrate our night

For we will stay
Here and now
We will live somehow
My love, I will not leave
I will stay
We will live
Somehow
We will live
Somehow

Without You

Didn’t think there’d be anyone
Who I’d come to rely upon
I was always a loner
Didn’t think I needed anyone
I didn’t wanna love
Didn’t wanna be hurt again
’Cos I’d been down that long and lonely road
I didn’t think it was worth the pain

So I said,
‘hold me if you care’
I said,
‘love me if you dare’
’Cos I’m trying to find something new
I’m tired of feeling nothing, nothing
Without you

Have so many ambitions
I have so many dreams
And I read I’m gonna see lights
Follow the view, when I cover the scene
But still my mind gets to wander to times
I realised I wanted more
But then I feel the chill of a western wind
Where you opened that door

And I said,
‘hold me if you care’
I said,
‘love me if you dare’
’Cos I’m trying to find something new
I’m tired of feeling nothing, nothing
Without you

And I said,
‘hold me’
I said,
‘love me’
’Cos I’m trying to find something new
I’m tired of feeling nothing, nothing
Without you

Today I Don’t Care

I heard a title to a song
Sing it loud, sing it strong
Say baby I don’t care
I heard a title to a song
Sing it sweet, sing it strong
Say baby I don’t care

Let me tell you a story to ease your mind
Soothe your soul in these troubled times
I can tell you a story to help you to find your way
Is this a liberal, or a radical, postmodern day
I read some books I write some lines
To find some meaning in our time
But today I don’t care

’Cos I don’t want to think about who I am
What is a woman, what is a man?
Today I don’t care

‘Cos I can tell you a theory it’ll blow your mind
Leave you confused in these already troubled times
I can tell you a theory to help you to lose your way
Are you a liberal, a radical, a postmodern babe?

Strike up the band I want to sing
Nothing else means a thing
Today I don’t care

Strike up the band I want to play
You’re in my mind, you’re in my way
Strike up the band I want to sing
Nothing else means a thing
I don’t care

Strike up the band I want to play
Light your lamps let me see you sway
Ooooooooo yeh
All I want to do is sing
Nothing else means a thing
Dadadad
All I want to do is sing
Nothing else means a thing
Doooo Ayayay Dooooo Ayyaya
All I want to do is sing
Nothing else means a thing
All I want to do is play
You’re in my mind, you’re in my way
I don’t care
All I want to do is sing
Nothing else means a thing
All I want to do is play
Light your lamps let me see you sway

Face Tomorrow

Here
I’m here to know
For you to tell
If you can share your sorrows

Speak
I’ll hear the words
If you can tell
If you can face tomorrow

Tears
That will not fall
For should they fall
They might drown the ocean

Desperation is all I see
Isolation is all I feel

Sleep
Is not to rest
Is still to hear, to see
Those faces that hold me

Fear
This tiny word
That rules my mind
That rules this mind that’s broken

Desperation is all I see
Isolation is all I feel

Here
I’m here to know
For you to tell
If you can share your sorrows

Speak
I’ll hear the words
If you can tell
If you can face tomorrow

Now

Pale Moonlight

I wander far and wide
Beneath my foolish pride
My vanished love I fail to hide
Beneath the pale moonlight

I know and I am sure
In truth, my love, I love thee more
And time will be forever yours
Beneath the pale moonlight
