Will Downing

Anastasia woman in the cold of the desert night
The fire in the cave is burning hard and bright
Three days her lover hunted on the plains
She never knew if he would ever come home again

So she could feed the flame of love and then
Hold him in her arms again
Make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

Woman on a cliff at the break of a winters day
A baby at her breast and her lover far away
Watches the horizon for the curving sails to rise
Across the water and through the stormy skies

He returns at last from the battle field
Where death has marched with a Christian shield
She will make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

The brittle will be broken
And the supple will survive
Men are born to fight in armour
Women born to stay alive
Behind every veil of tears
There is a sister of a thousand years

High in a canyon where the city meets the stars
My face against the window and my dreams that reach so far
Back to the women whose spirits so fierce and fine
Whose warriors fought for a love like yours and mine

Oh we are all the guardians
And everyday we start again
To make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

A love that lasts is hard to find
Like the harmony in an old design
But the love of a good woman
The love a good woman
Stands the test of time

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means, yeah

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying that it comes
And I'm wishing on all the loving we've never done

I never thought I would see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me

Just think of all the moments that we have spent
I just can't let you go, for me you were meant
But I didn't mean to hurt you but I know
That in the game of love you reap what you sow

And I, I feel it's time we should make up baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
Make the best of things, oh baby
When we're together yeah, I do, whether or never, my baby

I feel it's time for us to make up baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
Make the best of things oh baby
When we're together whether or never

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
And I wish on all the people we've ever been
And I'm hoping on all the days to come and days to go
And I'm hoping on days of loving you so, yes I, yes I am

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star
And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see, yeah

I'm wishing on a star
Yeah yeah yeah

For all we know
We may never meet again.
Before you go
Make this moment
Sweet to give.

We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart
Will be in it.

For all we know
This may only be a dream.
We come and we go
Like a river or a stream.

So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

Solo

So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

Hello girl it's been awhile
Guess you'll be glad to know
That I've learned how to laugh and smile

Getting over you was slow
They say old lovers can be good friends
But I never thought I'd really see you
I'd really see you again

I go crazy
When I look in your eyes I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide that old feelin' inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy

You say he satifies your mind
Tells you all of his dreams
I know how much that means to you

I realize that I was blind
Just when I thought I was over you
I see your face and it just ain't true
No it just ain't true

I go crazy
When I look in your eyes I still go crazy
That old flame comes alive, it starts burning inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy

Oooh, Oh Oooh, Oh

I go crazy
You know when I look in your eyes I go crazy
No my heart just can't hide that old feelin' inside
Way deep down inside
I go crazy

I TRIED TO DO
THE BEST I CAN FOR YOU
BUT IT SEEMS NOT ENOUGH
AND YOU KNOW I CARE
EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE
BUT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT

YOU CLOSE YOUR DOOR
WHEN I WANNA GIVE YOU MORE (I WANNA GIVE YOU)
AND I FEEL, I FEEL SO OUT OF PLACE
AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
DON'T YOU THINK I'M GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU???

CAN'T YOU SEE (CAN'T YOU SEE)
THAT YOU'RE HURTING ME
AND I WANT THIS PAIN, I WANT THIS PAIN TO STOP
SO IF YOU REALLY CARE, I MEAN, IF YOU REALLY REALLY CARE
THEN OPEN UP YOUR HEART TO ME

YES...OPEN UP TO ME, TO ME, TO ME, TO ME
AND I REALLY REALLY TRIED

YOU KNOW THAT I TRY
AND I TRY AND I TRY AND I TRY TO MAKE YOU

AND I TRY, AND TRIED AND I TRIED AND I TRIED AND I TIRED AND TRIED

YOU KNOW THAT I TRIED

AND I NEED TO BE WITH YOU

I TRIED...I NEED YOU

YOU KNOW THAT I WANTED

I'LL DO ANYTHING TO KEEP YOU SATISFIED MY LOVE (TO SEE YOU THROUGH)

BECAUSE I WANT YOU AND I NEED YOU

YOU KNOW THAT I TRIED

I TRIED, I TRIED...

She's every word on the page and poems of love
The greatest story I'll ever read
She means the world to me, she

She's every flower in the spring, color of leaves in the fall
And every bird with a song to sing
Look at what God can bring, she

She is the light that will shine on my darkest days
The air around me that I breathe

If she ever needs, I will be there
No matter where on this earth, I'll go
'Cause she's like the wind that blows free

She is the light that'll shine on my darkest days
The air around me that I breathe

She is the rain from the sky, the rivers that flow
To every ocean, to every sea
There is but one for me

She quenches the thirst in me, yeah
She, she, yeah, she, she, she
She is the light, she is my life
She means the world to me

Making small talk 'til there's nothing left to say
Make believing it's just another day
My heart keeps telling me that come what may
There's something going on

Look and smile in the usual way
As impling that everything's okay
I'll be a fool, let my heart be lead astray
There's something going on

*****
Chorus :
Keeping our cool, treading light
Soft and light but something just ain't right
*****

Go up early take some time to unwind
Just for a little while we'll pay the world no mind
It will deceive you to let folk lead your blind
There's something going on

Still pretending we'll have ourselves a ball
Ignore the writing that is on the wall
Couds on the table I wish I knew it all
There's something going on

*****
Chorus
*****

Look and smile in the usual way
As impling that everything's okay
I'll be a fool, let my heart be lead astray
There's something going on

*****
Chorus

Free like the river
Flowin' freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Tickin' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin'
But possessing riches more than all
And I'm free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shinning through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that's the infinite start
I'm gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes
I'm free like a river
Flowin' freely to infinity
I'm free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not be
I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that
crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity

I used to think I was the only one
Who never knew what it was like to fall
But you came along and changed all the rules that day
And just for a moment I had it all

You are the dream I live with
You are the wish I made
The name I always whisper
In every prayer I pray
Now that you left me
While you forget me, I'll hold you in my dreams

Now I go on here in my lonely world
And there's still a bridge I cannot cross
I can't let go so please forgive me girl
Cause God only knows
All that I've lost

You are the dream I live with
You are the wish I made
The name I always whisper
In every prayer I pray
Now that you left me
While you forget me, I'll hold you in my dreams

Now that you left me
While you forget me

You are the dream I live with
You are the wish I made
The name I always whisper
In every prayer I pray
Now that you left me
While you forget me, I'll hold you in my dreams

I'm smiling, my friends say I'm losing my mind
But it feels like I'm walking on sunshine
Since she's come into my life

I call her five or six times in one day
For nothing at all, not much to say
Just to let her know she's on my mind

And ooh, the feeling I feel I don't quite understand
I lose my mind with the touch of her hand
To talk on the phone isn't really enough
I guess that it's almost like being in love, in love

I'm floating, doing strange things without knowing
Don't know if I'm coming or going
Feels like I'm turning inside

I can't eat and when I close my eyes I don't sleep
Been dreaming of places we can meet
Maybe under the moon and the stars

And ooh, the feeling I feel I don't quite understand, look
I lose my mind with the touch of her hand
To talk on the phone isn't really enough
I guess that it's almost like being in love, in love
In love, in love

And ooh, the feeling I feel I don't quite understand
I lose my mind with the touch of her hand
To talk on the phone isn't really enough
I guess that it's almost like being in love

The feeling I feel I don't quite understand
(No, no, no, no, no)
I lose my mind with the touch of her hand
To talk on the phone isn't really enough
I guess that it's almost like being in love, in love
In love, in love

Like being in love, in love, in love, love, love, love
In love, in love, in love
Like being in love, in love, in love
In love, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Like being in love, in love, in love, in love

Ummmm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ummmm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Im a player no more
I gave that up for you
I know that makes you happy
When I come home at night
Baby, my feelings are true
Im not gaming on your female sense abilities
Saying things I just dont mean, naw, naw

(Elevate in your life) In your life
Its like cool water when the sun is shining bright
Let me ease your mind
Put serenity in your life
Its like cool water when the sun is shining bright

Nothing ever comes between the love we have
(Love we have)
You and I are destined to be sittin back
Growin old together
Talkin bout the past
(About the past)
Ill bring you happiness at last
(I intend to try) Gonna try
(Elevate in your life)
Its like cool water when the sun is shining bright
So let me ease your mind
Put serenity in your life

So if ever you may thirst
If ever you may hurt

(Let me ease your mind) Just let me ease your mind
(Put serenity in your life) In your life
Just like cool water when the sun is shining bright

I wish I could be like a statue when you're over here
Stone silent, I'd wait to hear your secrets and understand
Why your words cut so deep, only you can, ohh, talk to me

Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that

So clearly I say that I have no strategic reason
This soldier retreats perhaps to fight another day
Swords broken, blows taken, uprise me for seeking, yeah

Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me

I yield to you emotionally, yes baby
Raise my shield to you, it's your victory
Swords broken, words taken, I'm shattered, so think again
Your words are your weapons, I'm rendered defenseless, yeah

Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that
Don'tcha, don'tcha, don'tcha, don'tcha

Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that
Don't you talk to me like that

Morning has just begun
And I gaze into the rising sun
Like every day to day you're on my mind
And even though I am far I know where you are

And I know it won't be very long
I'll be on my way, coming home

I smell your perfume on the breeze
As a hint of jasmine's calling me
While the trees are whispering your name
And all the things that they do remind me of you

And I know it won't be very long
I'll be on my way coming home
Going home, sweet home
(Home, home)
Very soon I will be coming home

Home, baby, home
(Home, home)
To my lady home
(Home)

That's where my heart is home
(Home)
I'm coming home, I'm coming, I'm coming
(Home, home)

Home to my babies I'm coming home
(Home)
To my lady, home
(Home)

Home, home, home, home, home

So tonight before you go to sleep
And you pray on high our souls to keep
Then cast your dreams to the stars above
And when you awake, I'll gently touch your face

All your lonely moments will be gone
When I'm all alone, I am home
I'm home, sweet home
(Home, home)
Very soon I will be coming home

I'm coming home, baby
(Home)
Coming home, sweet darling
(Home)

I'm coming home to you, baby
(Home)
Coming home
(Home)

Home, that's where my heart is
(Home)
Home, no, it's never a-parted
(Home)
Soon coming home
(Home, home, home)

Baby, baby, coming home to my lady
(Home, home, home)
Yes, babe, coming home to my baby
(Home, home, home)

Home to my lady
(Home, home)
Soon and very soon
I will be coming home

Hey, you know I was thinking about
Maybe taking tomorrow off
No, no, I'm cool, this is not that dig
I just wanted to do something different
You know, something for me

Just take some time and forget about time
You know what I mean, I was thinking that maybe we
Yeah, I did say we could get together
And just do something spontaneous

Do that one thing that you've always wanted to do
But you haven't done because your schedule won't permit you to
Now think about it, it can be anything that you want
Anything that your heart desires
I was thinking that maybe we could get together, maybe

Maybe we can just get away
Maybe lay in bed for a day
Maybe take a walk in the park
Baby, we can do whatever you want

Picture I had a way just to short fly away
We could spend all day in the sun just you and me baby
I could just stay at home but it's just not much fun alone
You could spend half of your day here in my arms
These loving arms just for one day, let's get away, let's get away, baby

Maybe I can steal you away
Sip some coffee at the cafe
Maybe we can talk for awhile
Anything you want baby

Maybe I can sit and look at your smile
Maybe you can come to my place
Picture you and white lingerie
I'd love to photograph you if that's okay

Baby we can make love
Baby we can make love
Maybe, yes maybe

Maybe babe, maybe babe
Maybe babe, maybe babe
Maybe baby

Maybe we can make love
Baby, we can make love
Maybe baby, baby
