If I could trace the ocean’s face Ride the waves full of grace The joyful sound of happiness The white-winged dove I caress Dream beneath the wings of love In the floodlight of the moon above I kneel before the heavenly waters I will go where Wherever you may be Beautiful and rising to me I will go running Heady and free I will go with you Wherever you may be I will go where no man treads Where magic dreams and jeweled streams Hold the key that I believe is Wealth to me Slip into a stranger’s hands The ancient wonder of the land I kneel before the heavenly water And I will go where Wherever you may be Beautiful and rising to me I will go running Heady and free I will go with you Wherever you may be These things These pathways worn These moments Held
2.	Pink Dress 04:07	lyrics	buy track
I had my picture taken in a pink dress I had my picture taken out on the boardwalk I gathered up all the heat of the moment And I wrote it down in a letter to remember What it was like to wear that pink dress Out on the boardwalk Sometimes it all feels Heavenly Sometimes it all feels Heavenly I had my picture taken in a red dress How beautiful it was under the streetlamp I wrapped the velvet red up in a fireball And walked across the water to remember What it was like to wear that red dress Out on the boardwalk Sometimes it all feels Heavenly Sometimes it all feels Heavenly
3.	Shout 03:27 video	lyrics	buy track
You open up this heart of mine  You see beyond this restless mind  There's so much magic in this day   I wanna shout it out  I wanna laugh out loud  I wanna shout it out   The everlasting gaze you have  The love of everything you share  There's so much magic in this day   I wanna shout it out I wanna laugh out loud  I wanna shout it out   This love is hurling me Across the world This love is leaving me Dazed in this new world   Close up you don't even see it  Close up you don't even hear it  Right up you don't even know it  You never say you don't even see it escalating  Racing on   Open up Open up   This love is hurling me Across the world  This love is leaving me Dazed in this new world   I wanna shout it out  I wanna laugh out loud  I wanna shout it out
4.	Shut The Sun Out 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Oh my head hurts  Shut the sun out  Give me some rough  Give me some rough love   And an answer  Far away Under me  Get the sun out  And ignore me   Talk in a groove  Whisper a name  Anything Anything  And make me tremble   Float in the air  In the big wheel  Over and over   All you have to do  Is show me the real you  And give me back my way  And show me another day   Take a chance  Watch and wait  Put your lips  Put your lips to my heart   And lean into me  Not enough  Make it happen  Don't disappoint me   Feel the heat  Making my eyes shine  Anyway Anyway  I'm floating backwards   Leap into hell  Into the crush Crush  Over and over and now All you have to do  Is show me the real you  And all you have to say  Is love me like you want me to   And all you have to do  Is show me another way  And give it back to you  And love you like you want me to   Shut the sun out  Give me the love that I need  Shut the sun out  And give me the love that I need   Give me the love that I need  Shut the sun out  Give me the love that I need   Give me the love that I need  Give me the love that I need
5.	Kick Inside 04:28	lyrics	buy track
A little bit of you  A little bit of me  Shining somewhere  He breathes in me   A little bit of you  A little bit of me  A sense of motion  Near enough to hear   And each day is a surprise  Wrapped in a world that is bounded by the love  Of this new life   It's true  Conscious only only of you  Unseen  But free to wander free to be  Inside inside the water's gentle swell  Shifting slowly  Small waves pushing you   A little bit of you  A little bit of me  Flying us off course  Spinning out from me   And each day's a surprise  When I feel the kick inside  And I'll drown in those eyes   Bounded by the love of this new life beginning   It's true Conscious only only of you  Unseen  But free to wander free to be  Inside  Inside the water's gentle swell  There is love  There is richness there is life  And you  Entering into a cloud of blue  Shifting slowly  Small waves pushing you   Shifting slowly  Small waves pushing you
6.	You To Me 03:38	lyrics	buy track
You  You're one of a kind  Forever leaving behind  A little bit of your love  A little piece of your clear sky  Turning on the lights in my heart   And I  I wasn’t aware  You came in on the wind  The way a beautiful dream comes back to you  And I'm sure  I've never felt this way before   Cause you to me  Are all  You're everything but tragic  Everything that's good inside me  You  You're everything I need  Dissolving like a dream Do you see what I see  Changing all around   You tell me who I am  You tell me what I need  You look at me straight on  Looking at me in  Some kind of sunstruck way  That I can't quite explain   I'm gonna tell everybody  I'm loving my life  You give me all you have  Leaving a smile on my mouth  It's what it's all about  You know I really love love love you   Cause you to me  Are all  You're everything but tragic  Everything that's good inside me  You  You're all I ever need  Dissolving like a dream   Do you see what I see  Changing all around us  And I'm stepping out of me  Stepping into you   You give me love love love  Love love love  You give me love love love  I hold my breath I'm waiting waiting for your   Love love love   Do you see what I see  Stepping in to you
7.	Obsession 03:35	lyrics	buy track
You get what you deserve  I've seen it all before  You're crashing   You think you're beautiful  And god is in your soul  You're really something   So I lay down under the orange sky  Breathing in the darkness  While you stay up all night  Searching for a reason to get out there   Just one more obsession  Just one more attraction   You want to save the world  Save it save it  Only on a Sunday   You only give what you give  Thinking it'll come back to you one day   So I lay down under the orange sky  Breathing in the darkness  While you stay up all night  Searching for a reason to get out there   Just one more obsession  Just one more attraction  Just one more obsession  Just one more attraction
8.	Don't Ever 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Don't ever turn your back on all your dreams  Don't ever lose the hunger  Don't ever change your patience and your pain  That wouldn’t be you without me   Don't ever be still  Be reckless evermore  Don't stay up all night without me  Don't overdo the suffering in vain  Don't ever dance in fountains without me   And I'm laying  On your shoulder  And the need is love   And it's you  I talk to all night  And it's you  Laughing out loud at me  You  Holding me up to the moon  And I love you enough that it's true  I won't ever be without you   Don't ever forget all about the words  Don't ever stop believing  Don't ever rest without me in your place  Don't ever grow old without me   And I'm needing your shoulder  To cry my last tear   And it's you  I talk to all night  And it's you  Laughing out loud at me  You  Holding me up to the moon  And i love you enough  That it's true  I won't ever be without you  Laughing out loud at me  You  Holding me up to the moon
9.	1,000 Miles 03:58	lyrics	buy track
You  Face the world alone  Seeking out the freedom  Needing to be heard  To be loved You  Need to find a way  You have the courage and the grace to give up  The patience and the pain  Underneath it all  I hear you   A thousand miles away  I feel you close  Your watchful gaze  A thousand miles away  Spring tides racing all the day  A thousand miles away  Living warm inside me always   You  Weep without a sound  Sidestepping in this confusion  Never a spoken word   Underneath it all  I know you're love starved  A secret locked in your heart  I hear you   A thousand miles away  I feel you close  Your watchful gaze  A thousand miles away  Spring tides racing all the day  A thousand miles away  Your heart is in my heart every single day  A thousand miles away  Living warm inside me always  You need a clear way
10.	You (Reprise) 00:49	lyrics	buy track
You give me love  Hold my breath I'm waiting  You give me love love  You give me love love  I hold my breath I'm waiting Love For your love You give me love  Hold my breath I'm waiting
11.	Sandcastles 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I need to say what's on my mind  I need to know peace of mind  I need to feel to walk the edge  To stop the roller coaster dread   A moment lived A moment loved  I'll say it again  It's easy There are lines between us  Golden banners streaming   Do you wanna see me weak  Do you wanna see me broken Do you wanna let me go I call your name inside the walls  I call out loud at heaven's door  A scream machine out in the cold  The herbs of warmth defeat the fall   Among the jewels Among the kings  You know what I mean  It's easy There are lines between us  Golden banners streaming   Do you wanna see me weak Do you wanna see me broken Do you wanna let me go Do you wanna give a reason And I'm aching to be heard  I lost my voice for love  Do you wanna see me weak  Do you wanna let me go

about

From iTunes Editors' Notes:

In the 1990s, Cardiff, Wales native Donna Lewis crashed the adult-contemporary pop world with her first single “I Love You Always Forever.” The song’s massive overnight success, however, overshadowed her subsequent releases and in the new millennium, Lewis took time off for motherhood before re-emerging in 2008 with In the Pink, her fourth studio album. If history decides the 2000s were actually the new 1980s, Lewis’ album will stand as strong evidence, bathed as it is in a deep, glossy reverb and synthetic grooves that remind one of that shimmering era. “Ireland” begins things on a wistful note, but “Shout,” “Shut the Sun Out,” and “Obsession” feature sparkling keyboard washes, dense, robotic grooves and intense production processes to create a spaced world that might be what the ethereal and gothic 4AD label would have churned out had they been a happier bunch. Even when she slows down (“Kick Inside”), it’s with a curious spunk. Lewis’ breathy high-flying vocals are seductive and weightless, cruising above the crowd, recalling an era that may have never happened, but should have all the same.
