Indecent Obsession

You put my picture in a frame
Ten thousand voices call my name
You were standing here all alone
Painting pictures of a life you call your own

You would never see the light in your way.

We have the cash but not the time.
You have the words but not the rhyme
If I told you all the right things to say
Would you find the strength to shout it loud everyday?

'Cause a whisper don't get heard anymore....

I know there'll be people crying,justifying
If ever I fall from grace
Watching the walls come down a new king's crowned
If ever I fall from grace
And I know there'll be people singing,church bell ringing
If ever I fall from grace

Gone but it won't take long
The world goes on
If ever I fall from grace...

He's got that look upon his face
Eyes closed and running with the race
You don't understand the meaning of truth
When you look into a mirror and it's not you
WHat does anybody know anymore?

I know there'll be people crying,justifying
If ever I fall from grace
Watching the walls come down a new king's crowned
If ever I fall from grace
And I know there'll be people singing,church bell ringing
If ever I fall from grace

Gone but it won't take long
The world goes on
If ever I fall from grace...

Just as the climbing's easy
The falling down gets hard
Finding the place you're after
Still it seems so far

Soft and white,like virgin snow
She's calmly watching my desire grow
The moon is full,wearing a dirty smile.
And I cover her body gentleman style.

Her fragile cobweb surrounds my heart
There's no escaping 'till death do us part
My blood is calling,I wait a while
And I grant all her wishes gentleman style

She's poison and angel
She's fire and rain
Here I go,I'm falling again
Watch my heart come to life in the light of her smile
While it's silently breaking gentleman style

Temptations wearing a crimson dress
She talks of heaven in her sweet carress
My heart won't make it another mile
And I touch her in places gentleman-style

She's poison and angel
She's fire and rain
Here I go,I'm falling again
Watch my heart come to life in the light of her smile
While it's silently breaking gentleman style

Cold blue sweat on desert soil
Love is watching a good thing spoil
Emotions in bondage,it ain't worthwhile
And I walk out of her life,gentleman-style

She's poison and angel
She's fire and rain
Here I go,I'm falling again
Watch my heart come to life in the light of her smile
While it's silently breaking gentleman style

Gentleman style

There was nothing to say
the day she left
Just filled a suitcase
full of regrets
I hailed a taxi in the rain
Looking for some
place to ease the pain
ooh
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around
and found you there
You really know
where to start
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart

Now I don't understand
what I'm going through
There must be a plan
that led me to you
Because the hurt just disappears
In every moment that you are near
yeah
Just like an answered prayer
You make the londliness
easy to bear
You really know where to start
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart
Soon the rain will
stop falling baby
And I'll forget the past
cause here we are at last
You really know where to start
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart
Fixing a broken heart

Crying on your mother's pillow
Crying cause of something that you saw
Lie awake alone in your room
Too scared to even look behind your door
But when you're young
Your eyes are oh so sure
All you see is real, not in your mind
You know at night the candle blows

Whispers in the dark
Everyone hears
Something 'bout the dark
It makes us listen to our fears
Whispers in the dark
They call your name
You can't escape the dark
When light just dwindles like a flame

Paint a face on your desire
Paint a picturesque view of your heart
Take a slice of all the answers
The riddle ends where all your daydreams start
Cause if you look you'd see the whole world
Goes round it's only friend
And realize the world without a sun just

Whispers in the dark
Everyone hears
Something 'bout the dark
It makes us listen to our fears
Whispers in the dark
They call your name
You can't escape the dark
When light just dwindles like a flame

Love will find it's own way
Even in the dark
This time someone shut the gates
Around your heart
And lonely somehow lost the key
Some things are never meant to be

But when you're young
Your eyes are oh so sure
All you see is real, not in your mind
You know at night the candle blows

Whispers in the dark
Everyone hears
Something 'bout the dark
It makes us listen to our fears
Whispers in the dark
They call your name
You can't escape the dark
When light just dwindles like a flame

Whispers in the dark
Everyone hears
Whispers in the dark
They make us listen to our fears

Cry an everlasting weepBut never losing sleepOf the dreams that have gone wrongI'm sure it won't be long before you are hereOh...before you are here....Pain they say it all takes timeIt hurts if the words don't rhymeIt can tear two worlds apartAnd leave but a beating heartBefore you are here...Oh...before you are here....Won't you come back to me?Don't leave me all alone.My love will be the key that brings you homeWon't you come back to me?Please don't go away...My love will be as strong as yesterday....Leave don't ever fade awayJust think of yesterdayWhen the love that brought us nearHad the warmth to shed a tearOh before you are here....Won't you come back to me?Don't leave me all alone.My love will be the key that brings you homeWon't you come back to me?Please don't go away...My love will be as strong as yesterday -

There were times when the sky would bring me nothing
Except the smell of the rain at summertime
So I left my window open just to let you come inside
Saying that you'd never leave me was a lie

Well there were times that my eyes were filled with water
But all the world was desert dry
So I hugged my pillow closer and I tried to close my eyes
But the sound of distant thunder made me cry.....

Lady Rain,I heart you at my window
Lady Rain,I need you softly falling on my face
Why did the sunshine come and take you away?
I'd wait for you again ,my Lady Rain.....

I hear the sound of her breathing in the darkness
And autumn rain can turn to snow in the night
I'll be sleeping this September,but I'll leave the fire light
Just in case you feel like coming 'round again

Lady Rain,I heart you at my window
Lady Rain,I need you softly falling on my face
Why did the sunshine come and take you away?
I'd wait for you again ,my Lady Rain.....

And late at night,when you pour down on me
You're just in time to wash all the tears away

Cry an everlasting weep
But never losing sleep
Of the dreams that have gone wrong
I'm sure it won't be long before you are here

Oh...before you are here....

Pain they say it all takes time
It hurts if the words don't rhyme
It can tear two worlds apart
And leave but a beating heart

Before you are here...
Oh...before you are here....

Won't you come back to me?
Don't leave me all alone.
My love will be the key that brings you home

Won't you come back to me?
Please don't go away...
My love will be as strong as yesterday....

Leave don't ever fade away
Just think of yesterday
When the love that brought us near
Had the warmth to shed a tear

Oh before you are here....

Won't you come back to me?
Don't leave me all alone.
My love will be the key that brings you home

Won't you come back to me?
Please don't go away...
My love will be as strong as yesterday....
