Vanessa Carlton Lyrics - Sway

say you would, say you could
say you’d come and stop the rain
say you’d try and hold me tight
and you just give me away
make me high on lullabies
a melody for me to sway
say you would, say you could
and you don’t do anything

come down heavy, try and steady
precious ladies, love you, love me…

[chorus]

hold my head up to the lies that you feed me
I’ll fall under the spell you cast as you let me down

say you would, say you could
say you’d come and stop the rain
say you’d try and hold me tight
and you just give me away
make me high on lullabies
a melody for me to sway
make me high on lullabies a melody for me to sway

[chorus]

say you’d come and stop the rain…


Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980) is an American soft rock/Piano pop singer, songwriter, and pianist best known for the Billboard top five, Grammy-nominated single “A Thousand Miles” from her debut album, Be Not Nobody which was released April 30, 2002, and certified platinum in the U.S.

Carlton’s second album, Harmonium (released November 9, 2004), debuted at number thirty-three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and had sold 179,000 copies as of February 2006, with the single “White Houses, peaking at eighty-six in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She subsequently parted company from her record label A&M, though she still holds a dedicated fanbase.

Her third album, Heroes and Thieves, was released on October 9, 2007 by the The Inc./Universal Motown record labels.

Carlton was born in Milford, Pennsylvania to Ed Carlton, a pilot, and Heidi, a pianist and school music teacher. Her interest in music began at an early age, one anecdote tells how after returning from Disneyland at the age of two, Carlton played “It’s a Small World” on the piano. This event inspired Carlton’s mother to expose Carlton to various classical composers such as Mozart, Erik Satie, and Claude Debussy and also began to tutor her daughter on the piano (through her father, she was exposed to classic rock artists such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin). She began her schooling at a Montessori school.

She developed an interest for ballet at the age of nine and was accepted a the School of American Ballet in New York City at age fourteen while pursuing high school studies at the Professional Children’s School. Studying with such teachers as Nenette Charisse and Gelsey Kirkland, the intensity and demanding training of the ballet lessons eventually proved to be trying for her, especially once she started going through unexpected growth spurts.

This led her at age seventeen, to devote more and more time to piano playing and songwriting. She chose not to become a dancer on graduation. Instead, she attended Columbia University and performed in bars and clubs in Manhattan while working as a waitress.
