Surely there's a way I could please you
Only in your past lie the tears Surely there's a day you can say went your way Some illusion you can keep through the years Only if I lied could I love you Nothing of our lives could we share Only could we try to get by on a sigh Just because, just this once, I was there |

Well the road I see before me
Threatens pain at every bend, yeah Well my needs are mine, I understand And hope to calling friends Well, good company, it may comfort me But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way Now your love it gave me sorrow And a broken heart to mend, yeah So I took me to this lonely road My sweet hopes, to defend Oh and why pretend, I won't look back Even though the love of a happy man waits before Well, the winter wind blows chilly And the road is dark and gray So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the way Oh, I'm left alone without a home Makes a man ask why he travels on When hope is gone It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road |

i) Aubade
(instrumental) ii) And I Am Not Like Other Birds of Prey Morning at last Every night is a fight till your waking Dreams dancing past Through the silence of sleep dawn is breaking I wait, and watch them till day And I am not like other birds of prey And I am not like other birds of prey When night is long, you are needing me For (at rest or talk?) I am there to see That fear holds no sway Soft is my flight And my eyes kill the lies that attack you Life is my right And in sleep's little bed I'll protect you So hear, lest my presence dismay That I am not like other birds of prey That I am not like other birds of prey When hopes are young and your cares are few Then I soar above keeping (true to you/truth in you/truth in view) And my name is love |

Why sing a lonely song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong Why loose a heart that isn't broken? It isn't broken, it can't be broken Life's just a show for free Come along and watch with me The only sins are words unspoken Words unspoken, never spoken Sweet things come and go Give me shame, I'll give you wow To live for love isn't so easy It isn't easy, it won't be easy! How all good men try, Look around and wonder why Can they shape this world to please me Can they please me, should they please me? I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me For I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am Send me a gentle dream of love so strange it's never seen And proof how such a love can happen It can happen, make it happen Fine things tumble down Fade away without a sound But hope must never end or slacken Never slacken, never slacken I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am |

I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sins
Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool My mother told me "God is love" But hatred makes the rules Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand World, don't you tell me I cannot last forever Before you know I'll come and go And make you if I can Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love And keep their pain for me Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone? Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love and keep their pain for me Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone? |

Many's the time that a dream has gone wrong when you're with me
Many's the time when the blame went to you ? please forgive me But the truth is my friend that the world isn't quite as I thought it to be Oh no, I wish I were back home again Oh no, I wish I were back home again Oh no, I wish I were back home again Oh no, I wish I were back home again |

Nothing to show beyond the fear I had
Body so warm within his perfumed bed Sleeping alone, the shadow of a man He will entice you too, and if he can Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing is handed, power is changing fast Many the empty hopes his lips caress Sorry to say his days are spent in vain Chasing a dream of doom of nights in pain Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Shadowy nights of memories of the grave Gentle my love and sweetness sometimes sick Keep up his time while his crimes are known Only a fool can see he's sold his love Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been Nothing to show for love has never been |

Did your shadow ever speak to you?
And did he say that something's wrong? Only a figure on a lamplit wall Never realized he cared at all Did he stop you going on? Guess my shadow spoke to me tonight And made me throw my dreams away Told a story of a twisted man Who was playing with some foolish plan 'Bout a girl who had flew away Sometimes shadows are near I see things very clear: my life unwinds Somewhere I'll make my stand Look around at yesterday And change my mind Now your shadow isn't always there In the light of cloudy days Or in circles where you hide from view All the dust that ever bothered you And where people loose your name' |

It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't of left you (left you),
Without a dope beat to step to (step to, step to, step to, step to). It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't of left you (left you), Without a dope beat to step to (step to, step to, step to, step to). What would you do, to get to me? What would you say, to have your way? Would you give it up or try again? If I hesitate to let you in? Now would you be yourself, or play a role? Tell all the boys, or keep it low? If I say no, would you turn away, Or play me off or would you stay? Oh If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed), Dust yourself off, and try again You can dust it off and try again, try again Cause if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed), Dust yourself off, and try again You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again I'm into you, you into me? But I can't let it go, so easily. Not 'till I see, where this could be, could be eternally, or just week. You know our chemistry, it's off the chain. It's perfect now, but will it change? This ain't a yes, this ain't a no. Just do your thang, and we'll see how it goes. Ooooh If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed), Dust yourself off, and try again You can dust it off and try again, try again Cause if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed), Dust yourself off, and try again You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again See you don't wanna throw it all away. I might be shy on the first day, But what about the next day? (huh, huh, huh, huh) See you don't wanna throw it all away. I might be buggin' on the first day, But what about the next day? (huh, huh, huh, huh) If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed), Dust yourself off, and try again You can dust it off and try again, try again Cause if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed), Dust yourself off, and try again You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't of left you (left you), Without a dope beat to step to (step to, step to, step to, step to) |
