A THING ABOUT YOU
I pick up the phone, I'm dialing your number While I pray you're at home, At home and alone 'Cuz I can't function on my own And I'll never stop believing… The reaping is done, You are the one The radio is on but the sound is all gone And I wanna walk out in the sun But lately that's been very hard to do I've got a thing about you And I don't really know what to do 'Cuz I've got a thing about you Hey you I pick up the phone, I'm dialing that number And my heart like a stone Waits for the tone Oh I can't make it on my own And I'll never stop believing… I know what is right and this is so wrong Alone in my bed, better off on my own The TV is on but the colors are gone And lately you’ve been painting my world blue I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you) And I don't really care what you do I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you) Yeah, you I've got a thing about you I've got a thing about you Lately you've been painting my world blue I've got a thing about you (I've got a thing about you) And I don't really know what to do I've got a thing about you Hoping this story cuts through (this story cuts through) Yeah, I've got a thing about you A thing about you I've got a thing about you I've got a thing about you And I don't really know what to do I've got a thing about you… (fade out) |

It must have been love
but it's over now. Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. I wake up lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom and all around. Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away. It must have been love but it's over now. It must have been good but I lost it somehow. It must have been love but it's over now. From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out. Make believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart. But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away. It must have been love but it's over now, it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without. It must have been love but it's over now, it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows. It must have been love but it's over now. It must have been good but I lost it somehow. It must have been love but it's over now. From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out. It must have been love but it's over now, it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without. It must have been love but it's over now, it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows. |

I know that something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes You built a love but that love falls apart Your little piece of heaven turns to dark Listen to your heart when he's calling for you Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going and I don't know why Listen to your heart before you tell him good-bye sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile the precious moments are all lost in the tide they're swept away and nothing is what it seems the feeling of belonging to your dream Listen to your heart when he's calling for you Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going and I don't know why Listen to your heart before you tell him good-bye and there are voices that want to be heard so much to mention but you can't find a word the scent of magic the beauty that's been when love is wilder than the wind Listen to your heart when he's calling for you Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going and I don't know why Listen to your heart before you tell him good-bye |

in a time where the sun descends alone,
i ran a long long way from home to find a heart that's made of stone. i will try, i just need a little time to get your face right out of my mind, to see the world through different eyes. every time i see you oh i try to hide away but when we meet it seems i can't let go. every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a flower. tell me why? when i scream there's no reply, when i reach out there's nothing to find, when i sleep i break down and cry. every time i see you oh i try to hide away but when we meet it seems i can't let go. every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a flower. fading like a rose, fading like a rose, beaten by the storm, talking to myself, getting washed by the rain, it's such a cold cold town. |

What's the time?
Seems it's already morning. I see the sky, It's so beautiful and blue. The TV's on But the only thing showing Is a picture of you. Oh I get up And make myself some coffee. I try to read a bit But the story's too thin. I thank the lord above That you're not here to see me In this shape I'm in. Spending my time, Watching the days go by. Feeling so small, I stare at the wall, Hoping that you think of me too. I'm spending my time. I try to call But I don't know what to tell you. I leave a kiss On your answering machine. Oh help me please, Is there someone who can make me Wake up from this dream? Spending my time, Watching the days go by. Feeling so small, I stare at the wall, Hoping that you Are missing me too. I'm spending my time, Watching the sun go down. I fall asleep To the sound of "tears of a clown," A prayer gone blind. I'm spending my time. My friends keep telling me: Hey, life will go on, Time will make sure I'll get over you. This silly game of love - You play, you win only to lose. |

In that big big house there are fifty doors
and one of them leads to your heart. In the time of spring I passed your gate and tried to make a start. All I knew was the scent of sea and dew but I've been in love before, how about you? There's a time for the good in life... It's time to place your bets in life, dream about the sun you queen of rain. I've played the loser's game of life, a time to kill the pain in life, dream about the sun you queen of rain. In that big old house there are fifty beds and one of them leads to your soul. It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats, regrets and sheets so cold. All I knew your eyes so velvet blue, I've been in love before, how about you? There's a time for the good in life... It's time to place your bets in life, dream about the sun you queen of rain. There's a time for the good in life... I've played the loser's game of life, dream about the sun you queen of rain. Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky, fly fly away, bye bye. dream about the sun you queen of rain. dream about the sun you queen of rain. dream about the sun you queen of rain. |

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest.
Step inside, take a deep breath and do what you do best. Yeah, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets. I do believe, love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet I love when you do that hocus pocus to me The way that you touch, you got the power to heal You give me that look, it's almost unreal... it's almost unreal Hey, we can't stop the rain. Let's find a place by the fire. Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems, you've been in my dreams all my life I love when you do that hocus pocus to me The way that you touch, you got the power to heal You give me that look, it's almost unreal...it's almost unreal. It's a crazy world out there. Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight Oh, I love when you do that hocus pocus to me The way that you look, you got the power to heal You give me that look, it's almost unreal... it's almost unreal |

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!". I've learned that nothing really lasts forever I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal They won't heal. Cos every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same. I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew. My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow But I always did, and Lord, I still do I'm still breaking the rules I kick it up I kick it down. Cos every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's my real middle-name It has always been the same That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same. I still feel the heat Slowly fallin' from the sky And the taste of the kissing Shattered by rain Comin' tumblin' from behind And the wild holy war. I kick it up I kick it down And every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the roses dying on the floor Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the tall, that's the game and the pain stays the same That's my real middle-name It has always been the same. Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh Been the same, been the same It has always been the same. |

Everywhere I look I see her smile
Her absent-minded eyes And she has kept me wondering for so long How this thing could go wrong. It seems to me that we are both the same Playing the same game But as darkness falls this true love falls apart Into a riddle of her heart. She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands She's so vulnerable and I don't understand I could never hurt the one I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable Oh so vulnerable. Days like these no one should be alone No heart should hide away Her touch is gently conquering my mind There's nothing words can say. She's coloured all the secrets of my soul I've whispered all my dreams But just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart Into a riddle of her heart, yea. She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands She's so vulnerable and I don't understand I could never hurt someone I love She's all I've got But she's so vulnerable Oh so vulnerable. Don't hide your eyes... |

I?ve been up all night,
you?ve been putting up a fight Seems like nothin?I say gets through. How did this old bed fit a world between me and you We said ?Goodnight?but the silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife. We?ve hit the wall again and there?s nothin?I can do You?re the one, yea, I?ve put all my trust in tour hands. C?mon and look in my eyes, here I am, here I am You don?t understand me, my baby, You don?t seem to know that I need you so much. You don?t understand me, my feelings, the reason I?m breathin? my love The mornin?comes and you?re reachin?out for me just like everything?s the same and I let myself believe things are gonna change When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close, do you wonder who?s inside? Maybe there?s no way we could feel each other?s pain. Tell me why it gets harder, to know where I stand. I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am You don?t understand me Tou don?t seem to get me, my baby, You don?t really see that I live for your touch You don?t understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love You don?t understand me. You don?t understand me. Understand me |

halfway thru the night
i wake up in a dream echoes in my head make every whisper turn into a scream i dreamed i could fly out in the blue over this town followin' you over the trees subways and cars i'd try to find out who you really are in the middle of the night cool sweatin' in my bed got the windows open wide thinkin' about all the things you said i wish i could fly out in the blue over this town followin' you i'd fly over rooftops the great boulevards to try to find out who you really are who you really are i wish i could fly now i wish i could fly now i wish i could fly around and around over this town the dirt on the ground i'd follow your course of doors left ajar to try to find out who you really are who you really are i'd fly & fly & fly i wish i could fly i wake up in a dream (background : in the middle of the night / in the.....etc) in the middle of the night i wish i could fly i wish i could fly |

anyone who has a love close to this knows what I'm saying anyone who wants a dream to come true knows how I'm feeling all I can think of is you and me doing the things I wanna do all I imagine is heaven on earth I know it's you anyone who ever kissed in the rain knows the whole meaning anyone who ever stood in the light needs no explaining but everything more or less appears so meaningless blue and cold walking alone through the afternoon traffic I miss you so anyone who felt like i do anyone who wasn't ready to fall anyone who loved like i do knows it never really happens at all it's ever when it' over what can I do about it now it's all over. everything more or less is looking so meaningless and fades to grey lying awake in an ocean of tear troops I float away |

I can barely remember my past.
Everything seems to disappear so fast. But I recall being jealous and alone, gazing at the dreams going by. I started my life when you knocked on the door. Found something inside I didn't dare to ignore. Now I do believe in flowers on the moon. I'll swim beside the golden tide. You crashed by the gate, captured my fate. Salvation. My eyes couldn't see, I hardly breathed. I was diving so deep. Salvation. I'm down in the study holding on to my luck. Will you still love me when I call you up? I gave you my body, the power over me. Come on, bring out the best in me. You crashed by the gate, captured my fate. Salvation. My eyes couldn't see, I hardly breathed. My heart was asleep. Salvation. Some will get broken, others will get lucky like me meeting you. Don't pass me by. Salvation. Salvation. You crashed by the gate, captured my fate. Salvation. My eyes couldn't see, I hardly breathed. I was down on my knees. Salvation. Some will get broken, others will get lucky like me meeting you. Don't pass me by. Don't pass me by. I found salvation, oh yea You bring me salvation. I found salvation. You bring me salvation. |

Milk and toast and honey make it sunny on a rainy Saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness out of days you hate, you really hate Slow morning news pass me by I try not to analyze but didn't he blow my mind this time Didn't he blow my mind? (Here he comes) To bring a little lovin', honey To take away the hurt inside Is everything that matters to me Is everything I want in life Milk and toast and honey Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so clear and feel so near The dreams I dream, my favourite wishful thinkin' Oh, he's bookmarked everywhere, everywhere True love might fall from the sky You never know what to find but didn't he blow my mind this time Didn't he blow my mind? (Here he comes) To bring a little lovin', honey To take away the pain inside Is everything that matters to me Is everything I want from life Oh lay a little lovin', honey To feel you're gettin' close to me Is everything that matters to me Is everywhere I wanna be |
