All is well again
I think I'm gonna be alright
And I'm feeling better
Again
Loving you was sad
Affairs of timing that were bad
And the laughing ended
Again
There was a time
When I thought I was fooling myself
But now, I'll take a bow
'Cause I'm free and easy
Please won't you sing me
A thing that will bring me right into the sky
If you would play it
Just lay it down, say, it will help me get by
Something to move me
Remove me and grove me, you want to know why?
I'm so tired of oldies
And moldies and goldies, that I want to cry
Can you play free
Or in three or agree to attempt something new
The people need you
A seed that will lead to a hit by Varese
Tomorrow is teasing me.
Time seems to run away from the future.
But this could be that lucky day.
A dream is make believe until
blood, sweat, and tears turn pain to will.
It's gonna take some doing for me
to show them the way.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Building a wall of stone.
Sometimes you know what's right
Sometimes wrong is better than nothing.
They cast a stone so heavy to turn.
I believe in a love so true.
I believe you get what's coming to you.
We get so tired of living a dream
for some other day.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Wall of stone around the two of us.
That only angels can break through.
Looks like it's another of those long nights.
Will we always be alone?
Let's not stop before it's done.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I'll take the stone of Sisyphus.
Wall of stone round the two of us.
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I've been trapped in the madness,
from the shadows of sadness
I laugh it away.
I've been blind to the passion
while the whole world is flashing
I stash it away.
While I'm singing of Freedom,
I'm trying to sell
what I never had.
Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell
cause I lost the key to my past.
The show must go on.
It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind.
The show must go on.
Cause the dreams that I'm having,
I'm having all the time.
The show must go on.
There will be no confessions,
Cause I'd only be guessing just where to begin.
There's only one thing I'm knowing
this feeling ain't blowing
away with the wind.
And I'm tired of turning my back on myself
throwing truth away.
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
and give me a season of play.
The show must go on,
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
The show must go on.
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
It's time for collecting
what I've been neglecting.
It's gonna be a little strange.
Cause one day I'll be gone,
and I'll be back in time(town?).
Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna
be the same.
The show must go on,
and I just keep pretending to live for your game,
The show must go on,
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Put on the face,
win every race,
I'm just so strong can't you see,
and I keep up the pace,
I won't leave a trace.
of .........................
still going on, still going on.
The show must go on,
The show must go on.

(I wasn't to sure on the lyrics...email em if you know em!)
In the middle, of a dream
thought I saw, sacred love supreme.
So beautiful, yet so obscene
but I'm not sure I'm sleeping.
And in a golden sun,
I saw Hitler ..... angels.
A little baby with a big .....
I saw Jesus kissing the Devil.
Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, Get on this.
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, Get on this.
When I go to sleep tonight,
I must remember to close my eyes.
Saw a mother,
take a needle.
Burning water,
drowning the pain.
A soft spot for a ....... .......
she had a baby that had no name.
They say a day will come
when a bright light shines all around you.
I thought .... ..... new millenium,
where only happiness will surround you.
Gonna take some time for me to,
Get on this, Get on this.
Gonna take an angel's kiss to

When I go to sleep tonight,
I must remember to close my eyes.
Since I .............
the world upside down,
Life is a ...........
Still the world.......
And in a full moon's sun,
I saw ........ making some ashes,

repeat chorus
Call it a love song,
howl like a newborn.
Trying hard to stay warm.
..............
Edition to apocalypse,
Looking for the big hit,

..............
Time after time,
I blow me away...
Sign on the streets now,
Running on the .... now.
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room, I never recognized it
for the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
Lost in a crosswalk,
battle on the half ....
Calling cause I can't talk,
trying til the fire caught up with me.
Flashing like a neon,
noisy as an A-bomb.
Looking to the beyond,
staring and laughing at eternity.
Time after time,
I blow me away,
Time on the street now.
Run like I pray now.
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room,
I never recognized it for the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
I read somewhere that religion is for people,
who swear they need to be saved.
I'm sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
you can trust me I will be brave.
A third floor walk-up...
One block east of Chinatown.
She walked by my window,
while the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And it's clear she don't approve.
(And it's clear she don't approve)
Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there.
and I .........
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
She don't Mah Jong, Wait she don't let me wait.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
But she loves to play ....
With the dark eyes burning,
I am opening the wall.
Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortune's turning,
and I wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair
telling me the hands are clean.
On the .......... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she dont play.
She don't Mah Jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
Though I don't obey her,
still she loves to play her
(repeat chorus)
A tree blows up
from where the lanterns light the parlors on the street
.... waiting at the .....
And though there are not many things a pawn would ....
I'll beat.
We enjoyed the difference.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play
(out)
Say no more,
if you want to kiss goodnight,
that's alright by me.
Close your door,
make sure the latch is tight,
fall gently to sleep.
We don't have to rush ahead,
putting questions in your head,
and an ache in your heart,
Let's take a lifetime,
all that we desire,
build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
here and now and ever.
In these times,
love is not some harmless game,
it's played strictly for keeps.
No, It's no crime,
wanting me to feel the same,
with the water so deep.
Come tomorrow once again,
we'll be together until then,
we've dreaming to do.
Let's take a lifetime,
all that you desire.
build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime,
all that you require.
Here and now and lasting ever more.
So hard to leave you standing there in the light,
you look so lovely.
If we must ....
No use tempting fate.
repeat chorus out.
Something I forgot that I used to know
keeps on coming back around.
Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn
like a light from down the hall.
Suddenly some old familiar music
songs I know I've never heard before.
I gotta play along I can't refuse it
I hear the call.
We've all been so proud of our blindness
no kindness to share
I used to cry for the lost
until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
and found some deeper words to say
to bring us together.
We can make it better
We can make it right.
We hide behind the veil of our own success,
while we're following the rules.
Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands
to the never changing truth.
Freedom needs to speak a little louder,
justice needs to try her other arm.
Some of us could push a little harder
to sound the alarm.
And I see children marching
And I hear the drums again
I used to cry for the lost
until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
and found some deeper words to say.
If we hope and pray,
it will come, give it half a chance.
Everyone, understand
in our hearts and our mind,
you know there's nothing left to hide,
we're already there.
I used to cry.
Cry for the lost I was walking away.
I used to try to find a reason.
Then I looked inside,
I used to mind everytime I was walking away,
I gotta find what I'm feeling
to bring us together.
repeat chorus
We rode the train,
from Paris to the cold Atlantic shore.
The winter rain
kept us in each others arms until the dawn,
do you remember?
Faster than the sun,
flying higher than everyone.
Like a dream too good to last,
I won't regret the past.
Here With Me,
deep down in my soul now and forever.
A candle for the dark, I need you
Here with Me,
A story with an unexpected end.
The morning plane,
through empty doors a mountain in the sky.
Golden chain, the autumn treetops cast
another light.
Do you remember?
We have no common ground,
Treasure lost will not be found.
We can blame our wild at heart,
from now until the start.
Here with Me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever,
A candle for the dark I need you,
Here With Me,
A story with an unexpected end.
Remember feelings I have known,
And chasing dreams I've never done,
We're losing let us walk away,
hold me in your arms before you go.
repeat chorus...
Everywhere I go you're here with me.
You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the Years we wasted
All the Years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know I'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
with you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar.
I spent my life believing
it would not end this way.
All the years we Wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.
repeat chorus
Night And Day, you are the one;
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter darlin', where you are;
I think of you, Night And Day.
Night And Day, why's it so,
That this longing for you, follows wherever I go.
In the roaring traffic's boom;
In the silence of my lonely room;
I think of you, Night And Day.
Night and Day, under the hide of me,
There's an old, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me;
And this torment won't be through,
Till you let me spend my life making love to you;
Day and Night, Night and Day
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
Is that all you really want?
No sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the heart you lost long ago
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick with us we'll have a ball
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around we'll have it all
Music brightens up the day
Now, if you like it we will stay
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stars are a-glow,
And tonight, how their light sets me feeling!
My love, do you know,
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us stray till break of day, In love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky, A heavenly breeze kisses the trees
So, don't make me wait
Come to me tenderly, in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, A moonlight serenade
Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper, ";I love you";,
Birds singing in the sycamore tree,
";Dream A Little Dream Of Me";.
Just say ";goodnight"; and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger till dawn, my dear,
Just saying this:
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,
But in your dreams whatever they be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Say ";nightie-night"; and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Dream A little dream of you and me.
Always Been The Kind Of Girl To Hold It Back,
When You Know That You Want To;
Someone Always Had To Tell You Where It's At;
Now You Know That You Want To.
Somethin' In The Music's Gonna Make You Move.
Now You Know That You Want To;
The Rhythm's Gonna Put The Woman In The Mood,
Now You Definitely Want To.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In The Groove, In The Mood;
You've Got Yourselves An Attitude.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In The Groove, In The Mood;
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
It's a long distance love affair
Tender are the moments that they rarely share
They hope their time will come someday
When together with the fraulein they'll steal away
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy
He's dying inside dying of frustration reaching out in hope
And he wants so hard to hide inside of her soul
'Cause that's what he needs to cope
It's the greatest love on earth
Her lovin' eyes are all he wants to see
And he knows that in her heart there lies his destiny
When she holds him in her arms he can feel the warmth
Of her gentle ways
And when she kissed him it was just like making music
That no one else will ever play
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just another fantasy
Take a chance dream a dream
Lay a bet down on me
I will see you with my heart
Raise you with honesty
All the love I share with you
Is too priceless to lose
For your loving I will gamble
And I'm gambling on you
All the odds are on our side
And I know you're worth it
Gonna take it
Go for it
Can I play, deal me in
I'm a man who likes to win
Though I can't foresee the future
With you I don't fear a thing
All the odds are on our side
And I know you're worth it gonna take it
Go for it
Flying so high
Feeling so low
Fill my empty heart
Don't say no
Can I get through this night, with some lovin' to show
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
Won't you open your eyes
I know you really care
You see these games you play
They're just not fair
After all the good times and secrets we've shared
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place with the loved ones
Well I still can't see how things were meant to be
Love me even for one day I'll treat you like a lady
In my heart you'll stay forever you know
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
Marching into your heart
Marching into your heart
Remember when we were first falling in love
How we planned all the things we would do
Beautiful days and the nights all ablaze
Hoping our dreams would come true
Love was new
Rmember the house at the top of the hill
How the sunlight caressed all the trees
I played all my music I sang you my love
The chiming church bells rode the breeze
Love was new
Time has a way of obscuring our memories
And good times are hard to recall
Basic survival and day to day living
Leaves no time for romance at all
I just wanted to say I'm still falling in love
Every day with you, every day
Remember that Christmas with just a few friends
And the whole town was covered with snow
We laughed and we loved as we skied in the sun
It seems such a long time ago
Love was new
Something you said one night started me thinking
How sweet love is as it begins
Taken for granted it slips through your fingers
And leaves you on needles and pins
But there ain't no way baby that we'd let that happen
Our love will always be new
I just wanted to say I'm still faling in love
Every day with you,falling in love every day with you
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
All the empty yesterdays have disappeared
Now that you have filled my life with love
No one else could ever mean so much to me
Every day my high lasts longer
As our love grows ever stronger
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
When you gave your love to me you changed my life
Dreams that once seemd hopeless come with ease
Thank you girl for being just the way you are
I would never try to change you
All I live for is to love you
I'm feeling alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Oh what a lucky day
Things are going my way
Sun is arising mesmerizing everything I say
People all around this uptight town
Someone's gonna recoginze me
Ain't it time
Dues I've been paying for so long only making me stronger
Lady luck won't you please come to me I can't wait any longer
I spend all my time writing notes and rhyme
Tryin' to find new dimensions
Ain't it time
Time for movin' on
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
Competition everywhere is getting all of us down
I've been makin' all the rounds I feel like a train on the wrong track
Don't get lost 'cause you might get caught going out
The wrong door now
Ain't it time
Time for movin' on
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
I never know
What you're gonna do
You're always so far away
Down below
You used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game
Baby, won't you tell me please
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
Who do you love
What makes you happen
What do you need for satisfaction
Who do you love
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love
I wish that you'd lie
Or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for
At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
'Cause we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face
It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about love
It's all about give and take
Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to
Tonight, I'll keep you warm
(Chorus)
Man to woman
When you're lying next to me
Man to woman
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me
Hold me close
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me
I wanna hold you in the night
Can't you see
That I'm just livin' for your light
I want the world to know
I can't let you go
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see
Baby what you mean to me
Walkin' through time
Reachin' for yesterday
'Cause we're frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling that's gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade
(Chorus)
Holdin' on
'Cause the memory of you
Is something I just can't erase
Holdin' on
I don't know what to do
'Cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens
We can't let it end this way
So far away
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow
Maybe someday
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind
(Chorus)
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had
(Chorus)
Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...
Fireworks,
Fireflys,
On the roof watching summer night skies.
All the boys,
All the girls,
All the time making love with our eyes.
Life just went on for us
Day after day
We could fly!- Oh!
Cocky, so confident
There was no way we could die.
CHORUS:
Over, over and over again.
Life is a circle,
But it's over and over again.
Over, over.
Little words,
Little games,
The dramas we played, left behind.
Little friends,
Little names,
Puppy lovers we had...(love was blind).
Life just went on for us D
ay after day
Screaming by!- Oh!
Fast as a shooting star
Cruising the midnight sky!
CHORUS
Listen to the wind
Hear the voice inside you.
Something in the air,
Something you've been blind to.
People everywhere are dying to be free.
Time has come to live our lives in harmony.
CHORUS:
Give the children of the world one more day,
Give the children of the world, give them one more day.
Where do we begin?
When will freedom find us?
Bring the new day in
Free the chains that bind us.
People reaching out for just a little more.
Love is all we need to open up the door.
CHORUS
Now the future's up to you.
Take a stand and see things thru
For the children of tomorrow.
Give the world one more day,
Time enough to find a way
To start over a way to go on.
One more day
One more day
Give the children of the world
One more day
One more day
One more day
Give the children of tomorrow
One more day
Every day it seems we hear the same old story.
Every day there's lovers giving up on love.
People say it's just a fact of modern living.
All around us, people fall in love and marry.
Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why?
Did they mean it when they said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel.
CHORUS:
Forever
Is a long, long time.
Longer than we ever realize.
Forever
Is a long, long time.
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life.
Forever.
Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky,
Every night we touch and speak the words of love.
Did I mean it when I said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel.
CHORUS
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever
What has happened to our town
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride won't pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
I've heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie you've told me
I'd be a righ man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lad's constant cruisin'
Expains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time
Hold me forever
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus:
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever
Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing we'd see things through
So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever
Chorus
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus
All we wanted was each other; nothin' more.
You were looking for an answer; you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were after. I knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS:
Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when we're apart.
Had some crazy conversations. You know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep us up all night?
I didn't know what you were after. Maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS
Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways.
You came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that the love between us is right.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS:
What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go away.
Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to you that what we used to be.
Are we really gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS
Used to think that you'd do anything for me.
I thought your heart was pounding at my door.
Now it seems that things aren't right.
You've been crying ev'ry night.
You're rainy season just ain't slowing down.
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all along.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
There's someone watching tonight.
You've been trying for some time to get away from me.
It's just the same old game you've tried before.
We've talked it out a thousand time. It's still the same old useless lines.
You've made your point now why can't I make mine?
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight.
After he hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door.
The story he's telling you, you weren't believin'; you've certainly
heard it before.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin'
me mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time.
And I know you're giving him more than you've taken; you've come to the end of
the line.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me
mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
I just can't take it when your feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's making me mad.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (You know that help is on the way)
She said, ";It's lonely here tonight."; She's always sad when she's alone.
She said, ";I need you here tonight."; She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday?";
You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can
say?";
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday?";
Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday
";Everybody needs a little time away,"; I heard her say, ";from each other.";
";Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other.";
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know.
Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
You're gonna be the lucky one.
When we get there gonna jump in the air.
No one'll see us 'cause there's nobody there.
After all, you know we really don't care.
Hold on. I'm gonna take you there.
One shoe on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's supposed to be easy.
Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where you are, and where you're going to.
CHORUS:
Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me; don't need nobody else.
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.
One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it.
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows.
Time to laugh; time to love;
Time to live again.
CHORUS
Time to laugh; time to live again.
I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves.
I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave.
I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown.
I know that I've been walking fences,
Denied what I have known.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.)
I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet.
I feel the weight (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.
I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found.
My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown.
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won't leave me alone.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.)
I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.)
Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.
Six sets smoked on Saturdays
At Barnaby's on State
Countless California calls
We could not stand the wait
We played the pier on Venice beach
The crowd called out for more
Zappa and the Mothers next
We finished with a roar
Jimi was so kind to us
Had us on the tour
We got some education
Like we never got before
Around the world in twenty days
We played most every night
Jet-lag, girls, strange languages
Everyone began to fight
Lowdown at the Caribou
All rumours aside
Was we could never get together
Not unless we tried
Summer with the Beach Boys
We got sand all in our shoes
Made some special music
Everybody sang the blues
You'll never lose me to temptation.
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too.
I'm at your rescue; I'm your faithful one,
if it's the last thing that I ever mean to do.
I'm in deeper than you could know.
The wise in me won't let it go.
You can count on me, guarantee.
I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself.
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)
Out of the shadow, yet I'm alright.
It's not as easy as I know it used to be.
I don't have time to look behind me.
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free.
One more heart to heart to live for;
one more time to stop the war,
inside of me; in spite of me.
I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)
[Chorus repeats.]
Only you can touch me with your dark eyes
with a look that burns like fire through the lonely night.
Sometimes I run, but I can never hide
from the pieces of my heart that fall like rain from the sky.
When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sound of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.
No one cuts through my soul like you can.
I'm naked to the bone beside your empty hand.
I see your face and I remember.
I'm a prisoner of your fate,
I'm a loser in the race.
When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sounds of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.
I walk the fine line
between fire and the ice.
The memory lives on.
There's always something to remind me.
Every teardrop falling
when your voice keeps calling.
[chorus repeats until fade.]
Since we talked half the night
Feelin' good, feelin' right
Words were spoke brought us close
When we touched it was overdose
On the road you're back there
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Open up, let me in
I am your paladin
When your smile shines on me
I am the seducee
We will fly everywhere
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Pa-pa-pa-party plan, get the phone
Did you read Rolling Stone?
Knowing you, knocked me out
I am your roustabout
Pretty good atmosphere
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Oh baby
