Don't Give Up on Me

They told me to read you like a book
But the ink wasn’t clear on its pages
They told me to take deeper look
You were than you seemed
You were ageless
But you--
Couldn’t come at a trickier time
And you -
Can’t you see that I care
Through these eyes
And I’m thinkin’-
Baby -- don’t give up on me
I need time
And I need space
Baby -- don’t give up on us
We need some time
To get our heads on
~Instrumental~
They told me I needed a friend like you
But my heart it was closed
You were faded
They told me I needed a man like you
But your heart it was hurt
You were jaded
And you --
Couldn’t have come
At a trickier time
And you --
Can’t you see that I care
Through these eyes
And I’m thinkin--
Baby don’t give up on me
I need time
And I need space
Baby don’t give up on us
We need time
To get our heads on
InstrumentalÂ
Baby - don’t give up on us
We’ll make it through
I promise you
I promise you

You Can Lose Everything
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a blink of an eye
You Can Lose Everything
In a moment
In a moment
One lousy night
But you can't lose me
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it's raining
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it snows
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it's pouring
You just say
you just say
the words
and I'll go
You can lose everything in a sunset
in a sunset
in a blink of an eye
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it's raining
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it snows
I'll be there
I'll be there
when it's pouring
You just say
you just say
the words
and I'll go
You don't have to wait
til there's nothing left
You don't have to wait
til it's your dying breathe
I can show you now-->
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it's raining
I'll be there
I'll be there
When it snows
I'll be there
I'll be there
when it's pouring
You just say
you just say
the words
and I'll go

New York State of Mind

They told me that I needed
A New York State of Mind
To make it through the long days
To make it through the hectic nights
They told us that we needed
A New York State of Mind
To make it out of Brooklyn
To make it on the subway lines
We don’t need to be what this city
Tells us to be
We don’t need to fight
X2
We can have heart heart heart
We can shine bright bright bright
We don’t have to feel lost or confused
In the dead of night
X2
They told us that we needed a
New York state of mind
To make it onto Broadway
To see our name in city lights
They told us that we needed
A New York State of Mind
To make it out of Harlem
To make it on the subway lines
We don’t need to be what this city
Tells us to be
We don’t need to fight
X2
We can have heart heart heart
We can shine bright bright bright
We don’t have to feel lost or confused
In the dead of night

It's like I'm walking
I can finally see
The Light at the End of the Road
I've got nowhere that I got to be
the pace of life has finally slowed
Feeling the wind rolling by
the only light's the stars in the sky
And I'm happy as long as you're happy
You're hands resting safe in mine
And I don't mean to say
we should be wary
I don't just mean to say
we can't be scared
cuz love it's so much stronger
than all this terror
love it's what we got
it's what we share
Love it's what we got
it's what we share
It's like we're flying and we're finally free
the only lights those stars in the sky
every time that I close my eyes
you're face is lying next to mine
we're done running from the way things are
we can make the world what we want it to be
and I'm happy as long as you're happy
you're walking this road with me
And I don't mean to say
we should be wary
I don't just mean to say
we can't be scared
cuz love it's so much stronger
than all this terror
love it's what we got
it's what we share
love
And I don't mean to say
we should be wary
I don't just mean to say
we can't be scared
cuz love it's so much stronger
than all this terror
love it's what we got
it's what we share

Alethea New York, New York
The voice of Alethea pierces the soul. Whether with bare piano keys or dashes of ear-tingling electronica, with subtlety and grace, she explores her own relationships and the raw yearning inside all of us. Her confessional torch folk, heard by audiences in the U.S. and abroad, sounds like Sarah McLaughlin mixed with EDM and a touch of PJ Harvey. ... more
