The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Well I woke up to the sound of silence And cries were cutting like knives in a fist fight And I found you with a bottle of wine Your head in the curtains And heart like the Fourth of July You swore and said "We are not We are not shining stars" This I know I never said we are Though I've never been through hell like that I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back If you're lost and alone Or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound Of your feet upon the ground Carry on Carry on, carry on So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night At a bar off 75 And we talked and talked about how our parents will die All our neighbours and wives But I like to think I can cheat it all To make up for the times I've been cheated on And it's nice to know when I was left for dead I was found and now I don't roam these streets I am not the ghost you are to me If you're lost and alone Or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound Of your feet upon the ground Carry on Whoa! My head is on fire but my legs are fine After all they are mine Lay your clothes down on the floor Close the door, hold the phone Show me how no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight 'Cause here we are We are shining stars We are invincible We are who we are On our darkest day When we’re miles away Sun will come We will find our way home If you're lost and alone Or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound Of your feet upon the ground Carry on Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh (No one's ever gonna stop us tonight) (No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight) (No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop No one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)
