One small town boy whose dreams were higher Thought up a plan To be a city man Out in the world Bright burned the fire Through every door He was so sure Than he ran into a problem He heard the voice inside him say "Do you believe that what you have is what you need" You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis He found a girl His heart's desire She was the first She quenched the thirst His social whirl did not inspire Her live divine Soon lost its shine Now he's counting every hour Wondering where she spent the night She doesn't slow, it seems he'll never know You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis Take a day and trace a thought to where it all began Wondering how you felt at every turn Even thought reality was not part of the plan By reaching out you lit the spark forever Louis thought he'd find the answer In a world that has no soul He moved on, to learn onother song You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis |

Last night when you spoke to me
Emotion in your voice You said that you gave to me A very simple choice I could leave you... And go wandering on my own Or believe in you... Never leave you all alone Weave your spell for one more day You enchanted me to stay When you met me I was wild "The Spider and the Fly" Your affections made me smile I didn't have to try But then you tamed me... never blamed me for my pride And you aimed to... Find the real me deep inside Weave your spell for one more day You enchanted me to stay Now I'm feeling like a change You say that I don't care But when I look across the way It's always greener there If I leave you... I may never have the choice To come back to... All the loving that you gave unceasingly Weave your spell for one more day You enchanted me to stay |

I saw the longing in your eyes but I failed to see the anguish you so cleverly disguised your needs I clearly read but I never knew your true intentions they were better left unsaid I brushed your tears aside thought I could wipe away the memory but couldn't push that far inside you came so full of regret your body still remembers what your mind learned to forget Love is lost I've found when trust breaks down now we meet those two imposters just the same always out of bounds when love comes 'round don't even have the strength to share the blame We ride the train of events we never make our destination never making any sense you say you leave without regret but your body will remember what your mind learns to forget One love. Two solitudes. There's no common ground when trust breaks down though everybody's love is in the air always out of bounds when love comes down to scared to climb the wall of our despair (heartbroken) (who cares) Love is lost I've found when trust breaks down now we meet those two imposters just the same always out of bounds when love comes 'round don't even have the strength to share the blame And the said thing is there's no end to this your tears are like the rain that beats the rain and I wake at dawn to find you gone don't even have the strength to call your name There's no common ground when trust breaks down though everybody's love is in the air always out of bounds when love comes down to scared to climb the wall of our despair Love is lost I've found when trust breaks down now we meet those two imposters just the same always out of bounds when love comes down don't even have the strength to share the blame oh yeah |

Sold in silence
I never thought I could ever fall so deep now I need to know how you feel and with a kiss I steal the silence from your lips hearts colliding making waves that will echo through the years never thought I would find a love so real and I know this I want the life that love can give now I know what it means a love so rare in years of wasted promises a love to care only love can make some sense of it a love affair and though it's only just begun a love to share when two hearts collide and beat as one now I know you care and I'll provide you with a dream that will never disappear with the words that I know you want to hear without end I've found a love I will defend now you know what I mean (repeat Chorus) |

Didn't I tell you the way back home
Didn't I warn you to stay on the road Didn't I help you to understand That life is just time passing thru your hands There's no easy path thru it The truth is there is no truth to it Moving thru the spotlight Don't let the paparazzi world define you Now you've made your mark on it I know you believed the hope of it You know nobody wins It's the way you lose that keeps it hopeful Didn't I tell you I will be there Didn't I show you I really care You spoke of your plans for it You talked all about your destiny I could see the rain clouds But I couldn't stop the rain from falling You tried to go way beyond it You'd already made the most of it Nothing wrong with dreaming Just don't fool yourself about the meaning Didn't I tell you the way back home Didn't I warn you to stay on the road Didn't I help you to understand That life is just time passing thru your plans You say that you can't let go of it That your life only works because of it You're afraid that you can't hold on to it But your heart doesn't seem so sold on it Why not try to believe the heart of it Why not try to perceive the art in it Why not let me be more a part of it Didn't I tell you that I'd be there Didn't I show you that I really care Didn't I tell you the way back home Didn't I warn you to stay on the road Didn't I help you to understand That life is just time passing thru your hands Lyrics > Level 42 Lyrics > Level 42 The Way Back Home Lyrics ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MARK KING, ROLAND GOULD Lyrics © WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC |

I found the air down here in the chambers you warned me of danger but I want to stop this - for a moment there must be someone - in the open waiting for the starlight rendezvous at midnight I want to touch them - and to love them and we'll be there - when it's over all the love we'll never know the machine has got control can you hear the voices calling out the choices spend a lifetime - going nowhere the machine stops - and it's over all the love we'll never know the machine has got control I found the air the machine stops |

a summer's day in sixty-eight sunlight through a window falls across the page a young boy tries to concentrate his mind would rather fly beyond the classroom cage he can take the teacher's voice turn it into music from another place all the other kids don't have that choice hanging on to every word the teacher says day and night - we will be touched standing in the light - don't shadow the genius so out of school he walks alone soon his thoughts are flowing like a golden stream an empty house he calls his own this place becomes a temple to a silent dream sometimes he will clap and sing then deep in meditation he will learn to be and only birds upon the wing with upward fascination claim to be so free day and night - we will be touched standing in the light - don't shadow the genius your smile, your freedom comes to you from within still a child with a reason you're afraid but it's time to begin blow the wind of change though the words are strange - to hear say what's on your mind now is not the time - for fear a summer's day in eight-one sunlight through a window falls across the page a young man's fight has just begun and rising up inside him is a burning rage they called his dream a fantasy a song that every child has sung since time began but just as long as he believes standing in the light he'll make them understand |

Oceans deep
Drifting as you sleep Up on the eternal sea A ship sails When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with the tide And when your ship comes in Will it be a galley full of slaves Or a sun streaked schooner You came so far Between the rocks and shoals In the blinding night A may day When your ship comes in Will you step on board with a smile Or will they have to pressgang you Will the flag that flies in the wind Say friend or foe Will you know Or bear the mark of a pirate bold With a treasure chest full of fool's gold Fool's gold When your ship comes in Don't try to pack your case with hopes and dreams It's all behind you now This ain't no Sunday cruise this time you don't choose your destination And will a silent wave carry you away Or will the storm crash down so cold I spent a lot of fool's gold Fool's gold Will you be ready when your ship comes in When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with the tide When your ship comes in Will you be ready when your ship comes in When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with a smile When your ship comes in |

I guess it's some kind of empty prayer To no one who's never there It doesn't matter if they exist I'm aesthetically atheist It only matters I pray for this You took the prodigal from my heart And gave me a safe place to fall apart You know all about me now I was a typical crash and burn Spent a life that I'd never earned It wasn't ever enough somehow I'm rooted in this place I'm watching your silent face I'm sensing my saving grace Is rooted deep inside of you Had so many trials of style Exponentially growing wilder Til I was right on the edge of it Lyrics And it was all down to me I guess I must be some kind of holy mess I only wanted you to exist My conscience is still intact I just thought that I would mention that It doesn't matter it's just a fact Aesthetically atheist Cos I'm not sure that I would pass the test I only wanna be sure of this I'm rooted in this place I'm watching your silent face I'm sensing my saving grace Is rooted deep inside of you The measure of consequence Is how far down you go before you have the sense To pray for deliverance I prayed for it more or less A lot of empty words I guess I only wanted you to exist I'm rooted in this place I'm watching your silent face I'm sensing my saving grace Is rooted deep inside of you |

The way you're tearing down my house And I know you'd never stoop so low As to rebuild it somewhere else You know how to play me Everybody knows you can handle me Play me Nothing can compare with what I've found today It hasn't always been this good I haven't always loved you like I should But it's really something else I love you like I never thought I could You got to play me Everybody knows I been woman handled Play me Nothing can compare with what I've found today Been out on my own For too many years You came not a day too soon - I was out of my mind You swallowed my pride And dried all my tears Gone is the only tune I sang You really know You really know how to You really know how to play me All the women of my dreams Were the kind who lived beyond my means But I know you'd never stoop so low Your love is always what it seems You got to play me Everybody knows I've been - woman handled Play me Nothing can compare with what I've found today Here in the night it's a shot in the dark For sure that's a chance I'll take -one day at a time A feeling so right it's a walk in the park It's so easy to make or break She sang so easy Suis reste seul Pour trop longtemps Vide de coeur Vide de sens Tu es arrivee Secher mes larmes Reconforte, je te regarde |

I leave as I enter, another boy caught in-between
Now all I can muster are whispers to your screams Don't you remember how you eased my disgrace? Don't you remember the love you saw in my face? Perfected in silence A physical presence I sought affection, but now I realize A cold rejection, the movement in your eyes But I can rememeber when you shook against me I can remember when I saw what love could be Perfected in silence A physical presence Ain't what she did, it's the way that she did it When I couldn't give, only she could forgive it Ain't what she did, it's the way that she did it As long as I live, it's for me to relive it... ... silence ... Part of the answer is that there's really no escape Part of the answer is that life can have such perfect shape Don't you remember all the nights you shared in my disgrace? Don't you remember that the love that filled this empty space was... ... perfected in silence? A physical presence Perfected in silence A physical presence |

Why can't people just be people when they were young they would wish for the summer evenings that would never end now the day's too long and the key to life is locked away in childhood memories some people judge a man as reasonable if the wine he buys is seasonable they've time for friendship if it's advantageous and causes no pain Chorus: why are people so deceitful why can't people just be people there is more to the world than is offered by the soap and war found on the TV screen and there is more to this life if you would only take the time to look within and find the key don't believe words when they're superficial don't put your trust in values artificial let your heart do the talking for a little and feel yourself shine Chorus: why can't people trust in people why can't people just be people find the time and you'll realise life isn't too much time and trouble (repeat til fade) |

Sometimes the looks I get
from people that I've never met it's cruel poor hard done by you sometimes I hear remarks like he's a snake out in the grass it's cruel poor hard done by you Well I beat around the bush a lot don't let my feelings show 'cause if I did I'd surely hit the roof maybe if you'd listened you'd've known something was missing what I say surely is the truth Well I've been working on this overtime you might think that I don't care but if you look inside this heart of mine you'll still be there Some lovers won't admit that all the pieces just won't fit it's cruel poor hard done by you so tell me that I'm blind to let my heart go rule my mind it's cruel poor hard done by you Well I've been working on this overtime you might think that I don't care but if you look inside this heart of mine you'll still be there I've been working on this overtime what's been done I can't repair but if you look inside this heart of mine you'll still be there My wanderlust betrayed your trust don't want forgiving all things must change, it ain't so strange life's for the living (baby baby please) I've been working on this overtime you might think that I don't care but if you look inside this heart of mine you'll still be there I've been working on this overtime what's been done I can't repair but if you look inside this heart of mine you'll still be there I've been working on this overtime you might think that I don't care but if you look inside this heart of mine you'll still be there poor hard done by you |

I remember your goodbye and the late December sky seems so long ago you were standing on the quay and you blew a kiss to me I was sad to go the ship began to pull away then I heard a stranger say it's sad to see true lovers part 'cause sometimes lovers feel a change of heart out of sight and out of mind well the stranger's words came true and the prophecy went through I knew it would change my world 'cause when I called your home a whispered conversation I overheard I asked you what was going on you said that I'd been gone too long and the rain that fell in West Berlin was nothing like the rain that fell within out of sight and out of mind oh, Regine here am I so far away out of sight, out of mind love has gone but I will shine day after day I will take what love I find so I made some other plans took my life in these two hands and I know I won't turn around though I often see your face when I'm in a crowded place it doesn't get me down I met a girl with smiling eyes full of love and worldly wise she told me she knows what to do to help me put the memories of you out of sight and out of mind Chorus |

my hero ... on Baker Street the limousine stood blacker than the darkest thing in the rain deep in the back his life was ending still they would not let him be where is he? his music ran through the streets of the city straight to the heart with each song the path he chose was a road to freedom and I kept following on my hero ... I heard the news all my emotions shattered into empty blue where are you the radio like distant thunder raging black rock symphonies storm heart tears his music runs through the heart of the city his sound is heard in each song you never found where his road was leading the hope you gave lingers on my hero ... the brightest stars explode into a thousand moons (solo) his music runs through the heart of the city the sound he made is too strong his name remains part of my emotions the memories linger on my hero ... |

She came thru the door round my place she was not the same I reached out my hand to touch her face she turned her head away her words flew in empty circles reasons unexplained I saw that her thoughts were somewhere else we made love anyway lying still in your arms and the tears came down she cried her pain and like the rain that draws a cloud across the sun the tears flow on she cried the pain she felt inside as night touched the sky with moonglow she opened up her heart the tides of emotions ebb and flow washing us apart we talked thru the night in whispers as the silent city lay reasons she gave cut deep and hard the dawn broke angry grey lying still in your arms heartbeats cold she cried my pain like thunder rolling thru an aching winter sky heartbeats cold her pain lying still in your arms but the tears came down she cried my pain and like the rain that draws a cloud across the sun the tears flow on she cried the pain I felt inside the future dissolves in the tears the morning surrenders the years how can you say our love wasn't real when I can see how you feel another time another place I won't cry for her no more the days go on but the nights are long I'll remember her for sure still in your arms |
