the CORRS

The songs listed from this sensational Irish group are all from their debut album Forgiven Not Forgotten. Forgiven Not Forgotten (the song) and Heaven Knows are both sad songs basically about lost love and heartbreak, however, as Andrea Corr puts it, Heaven Knows is more optimistic and portrays a kind of 'hopeful sadness'.

Runaway is a simple love song which touches on the ideals of escaping from the down sides of life with the one person you love.

Closer explores feelings of the inner self. The narrator watches one who she has perhaps fallen in love with at sight. He looks sad every morning and she wonders what hurts him so and wishes her love could heal him.

All these love songs have heartfelt lyrics and this talented foursome play music to fit the lyrics which is simply outstandingly beautiful.

Forgiven Not Forgotten

All alone, staring on

Watching her life go by

When her days are grey and her nights are black

Different shades of mundane

And the one-eyed furry toy that lies upon the bed has often heard her cry

and heard her whisper out a name long forgiven, but not forgotten

*chorus*

You're forgiven not forgotten

You're not forgotten

A bleeding heart torn apart

Left on an icy grave

And the room where they once lay, face to face

Nothing could get in their way

But now the memories of the man are haunting her days

And the craving never fades

She's still dreaming of the man long forgiven, but not forgotten

(Chorus)

Still alone, staring on

Wishing her life goodbye

As she goes searching for the man long forgiven, but not forgotten

(Chorus) *** Heaven Knows

Deep, deep in our hearts

Strangers apart

Oh please come back to me

No more to leave

Never to grieve

*chorus*

I give my world to you

Send, send her away to her grieving

I will never set you free

No more, no more a life without meaning

You and I will fly away to

Love, in my mind

Love, in my soul

I just can't let go

Sadness fills my life

Of my fruitless plight

Only heaven knows

Tears, tears in the night

Sorrow take flight

Oh please come back to me

Each we believe

Never to grieve

(Chorus)

Sadness fills my life Sadness fills my life,

oh yeah Sadness fills my life Sadness fills my life, oh yeah

Send, oh send her away to her grieving You and I will fly away to

Love, in my mind Love, in my soul

I just can't let go

Sadness fills my life

Of my fruitless plight

Only heaven knows

(Repeat) *** Runaway

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you

Not alone, tell me you feel it too

And I would runaway I would runaway, yeah I would runaway I would runaway with you

*chorus*

Cause I have fallen in love

With you, no never have I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you

Close the door, lay down upon the floor

And by candlelight, make love to me through the night

Cause I have runaway I have runaway, yeah I have runaway, runaway I have runaway with you

(Chorus) And I would runaway I would runaway, yeah I would runaway I would runaway with you (Chorus) *** Closer

I see you walking everyday with a smile beneath frown

But I won't look away, yeah

What does it mean? What's there to see?

If I look closer Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, yeah

Where are you going? And what are you thinking at all?

Your eyes show nothing more than a dazed oblivion

What does it mean? What will I see?

When I look closer Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, yeah

You don't see me watching everyday

My smile could warm your frown

And I'd never look away never look away

There's more to me than what you see

When you look closer Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, yeah ***
