She hangs her head and cries on my shirt She must be hurt very badly Tell me what's making you sad, Lisa Open your door, don't hide in the dark You're lost in the dark, you can trust me 'Cause you know that's how it must be Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa
Her eyes like window trickle in rain Upon the pain getting deeper Though my love wants to relieve her She walks alone from wall to wall Lost in her hall she can't hear me Though I know she likes to be near me Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa
She sits in her corner by the door There must be more I can tell her If she really wants me to help her I'll do what I can to show her the way And maybe one day I will free her Though I know no-one can see her Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night Will your angels hold us Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind The day has vanished and left us behind And the wind, whispering soft lullabies Will soothe, so close your weary eyes
Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night Will your angels hold us Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you And soon beautiful dreams will come true Can you feel spirits embracing your soul So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
Secret Garden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian duo playing New Instrumental Music, also understood by some as Neo-classical music. It features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland. It was the first and only time to date that a predominantly instrumental piece has won the Eurovision Song Contest.
Their success at Eurovision spearheaded the success of their first album Songs from a Secret Garden. Barbra Streisand adapted "Heartstrings" from this album as the song "I've Dreamed Of You" on her A Love Like Ours album. She also used "Heartstrings" in her wedding to James Brolin.
The album White Stones followed in 1997 also making the top ten on Billboard New Age charts. Dawn of a New Century, again with lyrics by Petter Skavlan, in 1999, Dreamcatcher in 2001 and Once In a Red Moon also enjoyed success around the world including reaching top ten on the Billboard.
Their most famous song "You Raise Me Up", performed by Brian Kennedy has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists. This song is very similar in rhythm and harmony to the Irish Folk song "Danny Boy" except for the second half of the phrase.
Secret Garden has released a Dreamcatcher: Best Of album for its tour through Australia and New Zealand in 2004. It reached the top of the Australian New Age charts and the ARIA top 50 album charts.
