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

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 X2

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

about

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
