I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning, you gave no reason But I was with you, right by your side Just give me the strength and I can help you They can try their hardest, they don't frighten me It's written in the book It's hotter than I've known before But I feel so cold and I don't know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe you could make it right The time has come now, we must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you and your heart is empty Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah, you let me down ...but wait a minute, I don't understand It's getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me, I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here It's written in the book Oh, so many times since hten I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me |

Times were good
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would Oh, but she really cared About her music, it all seemed so important then And she dreamed that everytime that she performed Everyone would cry for more That all she had to do was step into the light And everyone would start to roar And on the road Where all but a few fall by the wayside, on the grassier verge She battled through Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds But now everytime that she performed Everybody cried for more Soon all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!" But time went by It wasn't so easy now, all uphill and not feeling so strong Yes, times were hard Too much thinking about the future and what the people might want And then there was the time that she performed When NOBODY called for more And soon everytime she stepped into the light They really let her know the score But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs And everybody cried for more When all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!" |

I am the one who guided you this far
All you know and all you feel Nobody must know my name For nobody would understand And you kill what you fear I call you for I must leave You're on your own until the end There was a choice but now it's gone I said you wouldn't understand Take what's yours and be damned |

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake I waited in the rain for hours And you were late Now it's not like me to say the right thing But you could've called to let me know I checked your number twice, don't understand it So I went home Well I'd been waiting for this weekend I thought that maybe we could see a show Never dreamed I'd have this feeling Oh but seeing you is believing That's why I don't know why You didn't show up that night There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake I was waiting in the rain for hours And you were late Since then I've been running around trying to find you I went to the places that we always go I rang your home but got no answer Jumped in my car, I went round there Still don't believe it He was just leaving There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake |

No cloud, a sleepy calm
Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze And trees with rustling leaves Only endless days without a care Nothing must be done Silent as a day can be Far off sounds of others on their chosen run As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning Even if they're dull Time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere The trees and I are shaken by the same winds but whereas The trees will lose their withered leaves I just can't seem to let them loose And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place Now the light id fading fast Chances slip away, a time will come to pass When there'll be none Then addicted to a perfumed poison Betrayed by its aftertaste We shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return Many are the substitutes but they're powerless an their own Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line Into a dried up river bed But don't try to tell him cos he won't believe you Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place |

Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
Far below, where shadown fester as they grow, An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong, Sense their time is coming near. So they turn towards the light from their region of the night, Marching on and on, They near the air, it won't be long. You know you're on the way out, It's just a matter of time. You thought you'd rule the world forever, Long live the king, don't spare the loser. After all, you're not what you thought you were at all. You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac On nature's hard unfeeling trail. And all those dreams of old will be stories left untold, Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time. Now the host emerges, a shadow starts to fall. Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all. Even as the end approaches still they're not aware, How can you fight a foe so deadly When you don't even know it's there? And now that the job is almost done Maybe some escape, no, not even one |

Oh, please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine
Oh, I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine When can I see you? When can I touch you? Again and again I ask myself, was I wrong? Oh, but time's a healer and heaven knows I've been strong Maybe we could try Oh, maybe we would work this time Oh, I can remember when It was easy to say I love you But things have changed since then Now I really can't say if I still do But I can try 'Cause I know that the kids are well Yes, you're a mother to the world Oh, but I miss my boy I hope he's good as gold But enough of me, tell me, how are you, you look good Well you lost some weight, I can see, your hair looks nice, you look good Maybe we should try But don't say it, 'cause I know why But you know, I can remember when It was easy to say I love you But things have changed since then Now I really can't say if I still do But I can try 'Cause I know that the kids are well Yes, you're a mother to the world Oh, but I miss my boy Oh, I hope he's good as gold |
