James Blunt Quotes

Beautiful dawn (beautiful dawn)
You're just blowing my mind again
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.<p>High.
Running wild among all the stars above
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

It's ok, cause I know
You shine even on a rainy day
And I can find your halo
Guides me to wherever you fall
If you need a hand to hold
I'll come running, because
You and I won't part till we die
You should know
We see eye to eye, heart to heart.

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away.
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down,
Down, down.<p>As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do.
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Don't give me those eyes 'cause you know me and I can't say no to you
We can't have each other even if we wanted to
In another life, darling, I'll do anything to be with you
We can't have each other even if we wanted to
Don't give me those eyes, don't give me those eyes.

JB: We had 200 Russians lined up pointing their weapons at us aggressively, which was... and you know we'd been told to reach the airfield and take a hold of it. And if we had a foothold there then it would make life much easier for the NATO forces in Pristina. So there was a political reason to take hold of this. And the practical consequences of that political reason would be then aggression against the Russians.
Interviewer: Might have been World War III.
JB: Absolutely. And that's why we were querying our instruction from an American general. Fortunately, up on the radio came Gen Mike Jackson, whose exact words at the time were, 'I'm not going to have my soldiers be responsible for starting World War III, and told us why don't we sugar off down the road, you know, encircle the airfield instead.

Many prophets preach on bended knee,
Many clerics wasted wine.
Do the bloody sheets
On those cobbled streets mean
I have wasted time?

Tell me the wars you're fighting
Behind the smile you're hiding
All of the things I know you want to say
We tried our best to find us
But there are no lights to guide us
I can't sleep beside a stranger now
And piece by piece we fall apart
With every beat slows down my heart.

Maybe I should try singing like a man.

Without your arms around me, without you on my skin
Without you on my body, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I don’t mean to be desperate or pretend that I’m not torn
But I don’t want to let go of the things that keep me warm
Without you, I’m just cold.

It's a little after midnight
There's a couple in the corner
And I wonder what he said because she's crying
And I guess they won't remember
When they wake up in the morning
With the headache from the whiskey and the wine
I know that I have said things I regret when I am sober
'Cause we always hurt the ones we love the most.

Look who's alone now,
It's not me, it's not me.
Those three wise men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

If time is all I have,
I'll waste it all on you.
Each day I'll turn it back.
It's what the broken-hearted do.
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake.

And if this is what we’ve got, then what we’ve got is gold
We’re shining bright and I want you, I want you to know
The morning’s on its way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
You'll stay the night.

My life is brilliant,
My love is pure.
I saw an angel,
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway;
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan.
