rescue me

I’m breaking down walls I’m dancing in a lonely room
I’m walking lost in a quiet place
I’m chasing the wind I’m holding on to empty words
I’m feeling the spray against my face
Rescue me Take me to your promised land Rescue me Carry me home
I’m putting out fires I’m running out against the tide
I’m building a bridge towards my dreams
I’m standing alone I’m racing with the pouring rain
I’m floating out against the stream
Rescue me Take me to your promised land Rescue me Carry me home
I’m breaking down walls I’m dancing in a lonely room I’m walking lost in this quiet place
Rescue me Take me to your promised land Rescue me Carry me home
Rescue me Take me to your promised land Rescue me Carry me home
Carry me home Carry me home Carry me home
Carry me home

crazy rain

I hold out my hands for fear of Falling down You threw me a lifeline and then you Turned around
Your nervous laughter took me Quite by surprise You sealed my fate forever
With those eyes With those eyes
And now this Crazy rain’s falling down over me
Crazy rain falling down set me free Set me free Why don’t you?
I spend my days in corners Hiding away You got a different story Everyday
You took my future and then you Turned it around Now when our autumn comes I
Fall to the ground Fall to the ground
And now this Crazy rain’s falling down over me
Crazy rain falling down set me free Set me free Why don’t you?
I hold out my hands for fear of Falling down You threw me a lifeline and then you
Turned around Turned Around
And now this Crazy rain’s falling down over me
Crazy rain falling down set me free Set me free
Crazy rain falling down over me
Crazy rain falling down set me free Set me free Why don’t you?

don't go

Well it’s crawling across the floor Yes it’s playing on your mind It’s an ever open door You search but cannot find
Don’t go You don’t know what you’re looking for
Don’t go ‘till you get it together ‘till you get it together
No colour in your future Don’t recognise your past It’s an empty cold illusion You hope will never last
Don’t go You don’t know what you’re looking for
Don’t go ‘till you get it together ‘till you get it together ‘till you get it together
Longing to be free You’ve got to find a better way To be Starting over and over and over and over
Well you think you’ve found your freedom Nothing matters anymore
In a room without a reason You fall through that trapdoor
Don’t go You don’t know what you’re looking for
Don’t go ‘till you get it together ‘till you get it together

footprints in the sand

And every time I see your face it reminds me Of another time another place left behind me
Thoughts that mingle with the past go on forever Never thought that it would last this time together
Not every road not every way Is gonna lead me home again ‘Cos every hour of every day I’m back in that place again
Where the waves wash over you Like footprints in the sand Like footprints in the sand
Take the trouble take the time to write a letter Look for reason in the rhyme try to forget her
Tears of sadness pass me by memories still linger It’s so hard to say goodbye to all you bring her
Not every road not every way Is gonna lead me home again ‘Cos every hour of every day I’m back in that place again
Where the waves wash over you Like footprints in the sand Like footprints in the sand

I woke up this morning To find the day had started again
The sun it had risen But all I had was rain
Here it comes
A tidal wave
Here it comes
A hurricane
The clocks have been ticking Their hands are speeding up each day
But no-one is listening You’re just imagining things they say
Here it comes
A tidal wave
Here it comes
A hurricane
Flowing over me
Blowing over me
Shining over me
Moving over me

as good as it gets

Jody ain’t so little today But she’s still got something to say Down where the juke box plays
Now she remembers a better time Reading poetry and drinking wine When everything seemed so fine
This is as good as it gets So don’t look back with regret This is as good as it gets Don’t wait for the next sunset
This is as good as it gets Now don’t you ever forget That this is as good as it gets
Looking back she was so cool Wearing fashions that broke the rules A Monet by the swimming pool
But those days have come and gone They cast a spell on everyone Now’s the time to be moving on
This is as good as it gets So don’t look back with regret This is as good as it gets Don’t wait for the next sunset
This is as good as it gets Now don’t you ever forget That this is as good as it gets
Then running with the right crowd and when You were dancing Dreaming of that special place and a time A time that never was
This is as good as it gets So don’t look back with regret This is as good as it gets Don’t wait for the next sunset
This is as good as it gets Now don’t you ever forget That this is as good as it gets
Jody ain’t so young today But she’s always something to say Now the juke box never plays

that summer

I saw a photograph of you Took me back to the place the ocean was so blue
And we walked across the sand Felt your warm skin touch a breath across my hand
That summer you gave me a chance to start anew This summer you left me now everything is everything is blue
I remember the scent of flowers Takes me back to the time a minute seemed like hours
When we looked into the sun Felt the night winds die you were the only one
That summer you gave me a chance to start anew This summer you left me now everything is everything is blue
And now the leaves are turning Those empty feelings burning in my heart
A chilly wind is blowing How can I face it knowing we’re apart?
I found a photograph of you Took me back to your arms the blue sky was so true
That summer you gave me a chance to start anew This summer you left me now everything is blue And I don’t know what to do
And I don’t know what to do And I don’t know what to do

last cigarette

Today’s the day I’ll smoke my last cigarette Today’s the day I’ll smoke my last cigarette
I breathed in the fumes and started my blues
Today’s the day I’ll drink my last goodbye Today’s the day I’ll drink my last goodbye
I swallowed the wine and tasted the vine again
I’m losing you Yes I’m losing you Remember the stars they travelled so far no more
Losing you Yes I’m losing you Remember the stars the way that it was before
Today’s the day I’ll scream my last guitar Today’s the day I’ll scream my last guitar
I sang in the bright and burned out the light
Today’s the day I’ll swim my last farewell Today’s the day I’ll swim my last farewell
I heard on the news you started my blues again
I’m losing you Yes I’m losing you Remember the stars your face in the clouds of rain
Losing you Losing you Remember the stars the way that it was again
Today’s the day I’ll smoke my last cigarette Today’s the day I’ll smoke my last cigarette
When I walk out the door you’ll see me no more no more

Those words on paper That you left behind Are calling to me Talking in my mind
Your lilac perfume Hangs on every breath It fills my head up With every word you said
Another day dream Summer in the rain You whisper to me I feel your touch again
I’m drinking coffee I listen to the night Couples talking Why can’t we make it right?
Spin your love Spin your love Spin your love Over me
I see a stranger Walking in the street Your faceless shadow Is everyone I meet
The autumn leaves Are spelling out your name They taunt my senses Burning like a flame
Spin your love Spin your love Spin your love Over me
The words on paper That you left behind Still calling to me Talking in my mind
I’m drinking coffee I listen to the night Couples talking Why couldn’t we make it right?
Spin your love Spin your love Spin your love Over me

no more lullabies

I walked out of the darkness into the sunlight
You ran from the daytime into the empty night
No more lullabies No more goodbyes No more blue skies Again
I wanted a hurricane to blow over us
You caused a landslide and everything was lost
No more lullabies No more goodbyes No more blue skies Again
No more lullabies No more sad eyes No more asking why Again
Now everything I hoped Is broken
And everything I dreamed Is gone
Now everything I hoped Is broken
And everything I dreamed Is gone
No more lullabies No more goodbyes No more blue skies Again
No more lullabies No more sad eyes No more asking why Again
