Armatrading, Joan - Songs Lyrics






If I'm feeling down
If I'm ever low
I just think of you
And the songs

Filled with lots of meaning
With everything I need
Spiritually healing
Words that comfort

You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you hmm
The songs can bring you closer

If I'm ever down
If I'm feeling low I just think of you
And the songs

The ones that make me wonder
Will it be that good again
They inspire me to try
Oooo

You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you
The songs can bring you closer

Songs that let the past
Flood into my mind
Take me to the place
That we left
It's such a strange sensation
To live that time again
Songs can save you
They can break you
Set you crying

You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you hmm
The songs can bring you closer

A long time ago
You told me that you cared
You'd be there for me
Whenever I need
When you're far away and I need you hmm
The songs can bring you closer

    Hey, I was made to listen to Joan I believe it was around 78. As in 1978. Maybe later, it does not matter I'm just listening to this song again. Well my wife was the one who made me listen when we had to drive to the river run back than. I must say I got a few more people to buy the tape. No it was vinyl I taped it. When my wife passed, i was throwing g those dam reader mags out. She pick the thing up ever week , I never saw her open it. Any way it open to a concert was going to be at 4 and b, down town. I went. Ok check this out, me over 6'3" and 220 balling my froggen eyes out, I mean buckets, he the little guy with the flash light wanted to know if he could do something. Now what would he do, but it was nice now don't get me wrong him not like that, but all the girls at that show, well I never did figure it out, they were not like the ones I knew.
    Thanks Joan you taught me and I felt my woman with me again. Dam what a girl. Both of them

  55. A.... R....

    N.... H....

    Me too. Find myself hearing it in my head and I forgot even where I heard it. It's a good song.

  57. J.... A....

    one of my favorite female singer/songwriter, pure genius Joan Armatrading.

  58. w.... ....

    A huge part of my life's soundtrack. Please don't compare to Tracy Chapman: Joan was 1st, hardest, most honest. And beautiful in the extreme.

  59. E.... L....

    Just heard this for the first time. Love it.

    E.... L....

  70. K.... M....

    Memories of - coincidentally - a certain J.A. - so significant when this song came out!

  71. d.... r....

  72. M.... B....

    Very nicely done with the video+lyrics.

  73. M.... f....

    Sooo awesome !! I so love this song xx

  74. M.... e....

    And I am going to see Joan in Glasgow on August 2015. A canny wait. XX

    M.... e....

    @Eleanor Dahlstrom I just saw Joan a few hours ago at The Orpheum in Los Angeles. Yay! :)

    M.... e....

    @mrspeel7 I have loved her music since I was 16 (a long time ago) and my daughter bought me 2 tickets as a surprise. I cannot wait.

    M.... e....

    @Ms eldee Ms Eldee, are you Scottish? I ask because my mother was born in Aberdeen and used to say "a canny" for "I can't" but "a dunnae ken fer sure" because I'm from the US. Anyway, August is upon us so have a wonderful time!

    M.... e....

    @SylvanaForrester Aye Glaswegian as it happens. We have our own language in Scotland. I have visited Aberdeen on holiday, lovely people, beautiful scenery, golf courses and beaches. And we are just living through the worst summer for 22 years. You should be glad your mum ended up in the US, its a lot warmer than Scotland.

  75. M.... N....

    I think it can also be heard on an addiction level I find it true to my own addictions..you make me lie when I dont want to & make smeone else some kind of ungoing fool.....

  76. M.... O....

    she is wunderful........

  77. S.... H....

    What a beautiful voice.

  78. j.... ....

    The questions this song ask cant be answered. The angst in this song is measurable in the emotions it emits every time i hear this song. Tears of joy tears of pain.

  79. C.... D....

    After all this years I still like to listen to her

  80. L.... G....

    Well done joan, A true masterpiece,Love your voice.

  81. D.... S....

    best song ever written

  82. J.... L....

    She's such a tremendous writer as well as singer. Bought "Joan Armatrading" album in 1976 and thought it was one of the most original sounding album I had ever heard. Truly one of the most underrated artists ever.

  83. S.... G....

    Wonderful lyrics here

  84. s.... d....

    i love this song

  85. b.... g....

    Brilliant love it

  86. Q.... i....

    one of my ex girlfriends seduced me with this song. when we broke up she used it to seduce my friend. lol very sexy song though.

    Q.... i....

    Seriously? That's messed up.

  87. S.... ....

    Tracy Chapman would also be lovely over this Armatrading song. This is very beautiful.

  88. k.... k....

    WOW! Perfect song. It's like I could have written it myself. I really wish I could send it to someone but he knows too much already. The more you tell someone you love them the more they seem to take you for granted and that's not cool. Love just hurts so bad. It should be wonderful.

    k.... k....

    You may have written a lyric there :))

    k.... k....

    @knowlightknowright Guys can be stupid. 

    k.... k....

    Something like that, yup.

    k.... k....

    @knowlightknowright love hurts for sure, but is always worth it, if forever or only in memories , still it is love, a special emotion, and never will it leave, win or lose, the feeling is the same, but never sad.

  89. J.... S....

    I love this song

  90. k.... ....

    Last tour, Feb 2015. Got tickets. Great lady

  91. T.... ....

    Beautiful...

  92. X.... P....

    Hahaha 10 things I hate about you is a classic 😍

  93. D.... G....

    Suffer me, you know you have done me many times. I wait for you to hold me but you can't bring me from sleep, no, no more sleep

  94. E.... B....

    my all time number 2!

  95. T.... L....

    just love you all who loves this tune
