"Borrowed Heaven"


All beauty all fade away, borrowed
All moonlight, return today, borrowed
All sunrise all shooting stars, borrowed
All earth bound bare feet in day
you know we're standing on

Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven

All heartache all rivers cried, borrowed
Don't stay out too late tonight, borrowed
I love you don't wanna die, borrowed
You taste like paradise, I know I'm breathing in

Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven
Borrowed borrowed heaven

You gave me life and I will give it back
But before I do, I'm gonna hold it tight
This is my prayer

All body, All skin all bone, borrowed
All silky, all smooth and warm, borrowed
All pleasure, all pain are one, borrowed
Almighty I stand alone
I know I'm living in

Borrowed borrowed heaven

Borrowed Heaven


Borrowed Heaven is an album by The Corrs and it was produced by Olle Romo. The album was released 31 May 2004 (see 2004 in music).

For this album Sharon Corr managed to write and play and make a significant contribution with songs such as 'Hideaway', 'Long Night', and 'Goodbye'.

The Corrs created a folkier, edgier, and more guitar oriented album than previous albums, notably their year 2000 album In Blue. This is because Jim Corr plays most of the guitars and keyboards.

Reviews for this album varied greatly. Fans of the band generally agree the album represents a return of sorts to the group's Celtic folk pop origins after the much 'poppier' In Blue released in 2000 (see 2000 in music).

The band released three singles from this album: 'Summer Sunshine', 'Angel', and 'Long Night'. A remixed version of 'Goodbye' was released as a download-only single in 2006. Other notable tracks include the title track 'Borrowed Heaven' which featured an appearance from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and 'Time Enough For Tears' which was penned by U2's Bono.


Success

The album was a great success in their homeland Ireland where it peaked at number 1 with all three singles entering the Irish music charts. The album was greeted with success in western Europe, charting in nearly every country. Success in eastern Europe was varied from number 1 chart positions to not charting at all.
