It's been four years since I saw the ocean
It's been five nights since I held your hand
It's been forever since we talked the whole night through
It's been too long, I need a comfort hand

So tell my love I'm leaving
I gotta find something to believe in
Tell my love I'm leaving
For the sun, for the sun
A new day has begun

It's been forty nights and forty days
Since I said I loved you
It took me two weeks to understand
But I just keep on searching
Everywhere for something true
But I guess it all leads back to you

Oh, tell my love I'm leaving
I gotta find something to believe in
Tell my love I'm leaving
For the sun, for the sun
And the moon, and the ocean
A new day has begun

Oh, tell my love I'm leaving
Tell my love
I gotta find something to believe in
Tell my love
I'm going for the sun
For the sun, for the sun
A new day has begun

I don't need no money, mommy
I don't have a lover, brother
I keep away from the Juppies Puppy
I just want my amarula tree

Oh, it moves me without a touch
People say that I think too much
But I'm as happy as I can be
Hanging by my amarula tree

I'm a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better destiny
I'm a dreamer and as far as I can see, Amarula trees
So I'm a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better world for you and me, ohh

La da da
la da da da
la da da
la da da daa

I don't look back I look beyond
I'm just a struggling vagabond
But I get by well on my own
Where you are is what I call home

Whow, it moves me without a touch
People say that I drink too much
But I'm as happy as I can be
Hanging by my amarula tree

I'm a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better destiny
I'm a dreamer and as far as I can see, Amarula trees
I'm a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better world for you and me

Greetings from space
I am lost without a trace
Without a face, number or name
Here we could stay
It feels nice to get away
from all the pain
The world has gone insane

It's all the same
handshakes and names
Circulating round
But I've found
a leap hole in the ground
So tell my guitar
I won't be coming home tonight
Feels kind of hopeless
when there's no one around

So I try to say that I'm sorry
And I try to do no harm
And I lied when I said I was happy
If you love me
please, let me go

Peel off my skin
I don't need anything
I've lost your ring
But, honey, it's just a thing
Here we could stay
It feels nice to get away
from all the pain
The world has gone insane

It's all the same
handshakes and names
Circulating round
But I've found
a leap hole in the ground
So tell my guitar
I wont be coming home tonigh
Feels kind of hopeless
when there's no one around

So I try to say that I'm sorry
And I try to do no harm
And I lied when I said
I was happy
If you love me
please, let me go
So tell my guitar
I won't be coming home tonight
Feels kind of pointless
when there's no one around

. . .


Truth be told, simple and bold
I think you're special
We can roll like a team, you know what I mean
See, I'm not gonna mess around and I'm not gonna let you down
cause I do love you
This I know, this I kno -oh -ooow!

Money makes the world go 'round
People will be people always
Baby, what goes up comes down
This I know, so here I go

Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
baby

Hit or miss, here's what it is you are that someone
a diamond in the rough, the real stuff
Now if goodness are to find,
then luck is a friend of mine, cause I do love you
This I know, this I kno -oh -ooow!

Money makes the world go 'round
People will be people always
Baby, what goes up comes down
This I know, so here I go

Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
baby

Money makes the world go 'round
People will be people always
Baby, what goes up comes down
This I know, so here I go

Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
love me
Do you love me
baby

You're so far away,
but somehow I can feel you anyway.
It's only been today
I wished that time would have stopped
so I could have stayed.

Maybe I'm not guessing this time.
What if baby I just want you to be mine?
It hurts when something beautiful
has to end before it starts.
I thought I packed it all,
but I forgot my heart.

I'm so far away
the flower probably died but it's okay.
This might be in vain
but if I was with you this is what I'd say,

Although I'm kind of lonely
I feel fine.
Because I've done the discovery of all time.
Won't you come a little closer
and I'll give you a clue.
I've figured out that happiness equals you.

. . .


I ran away
but now I'm back
and you might think
that I am mad
The truth is
you are right
but I am tired of being sad
My head misses your shoulder
can't you feel it?
Why, oh why?
I've been bad
but now I'm older
I'd be stupid not to try

Don't worry
Da-da-da-darling
You will see
Da-da-da-darling
How sweet it could be
Don't worry

I cry and cry
my eyes run dry
I'm lonely
can't you see?
I know you could
You know you should
be sleeping next to me
When I need some air
a touch of flair
that's when I sing this song
When you feel confused
too much too soon
That's when you sing along

Don't worry
Da-da-da-darling
You will see
Da-da-da-darling
How sweet it could be
Don't worry

I'm at your door
Let me in
Cause I want more
You just sigh
And tell me
that I lalalalalalalalalie

Can't you see?
It's you and me

. . .


Your made up friend
has given up on you
Two more drinks
and he might come true
Locked up mom
and dad in a cave
They'll get out
when they've learned
to behave

I don't care
that I feel worse than before
I'm drunk, left alone
waiting but I still want more
Shut up

Darling, let go
Stay away from him
don't let him know
Darling, go home
It's the only way
that you still know

In a hole
it's kind of hard to reach
Just give me two more minutes
and I'll be back on my
Feet are going
the wrong way again
Saying one more kiss
and let's be friends

I don't care
that I feel worse than before
I'm drunk, left alone
waiting but I still want more
Shut up

Darling, let go
Stay away from him
don't let him know
Darling, go home
It's the only way
that you still know

You still know
But you don't know
Let's go home
No one knows

Darling, let go
Stay away from him
don't let it show
Darling, go home
It's the only way
that you still know

Watch him go

. . .


Where have I been? Lock me in again
I made you scream and shout because of doubt again
You wonder why I had to lie again
The truth is darling I'm afraid to love

I've cheated and I've lied, but I never really tried
So wait, don't go
I'm not leaving you no more
Close the door

I've found my light, but where is he tonight?
The wall before my heart falls apart tonight
Now he has left so I can't get no rest tonight
Tell me darling, ain't that love

I've cheated and I've lied, but I never really tried
You say you're done, that my actions made you numb like me

Oh, tell me darling, ain't that love?
I've cheated and I've lied, but I never really tried
You say you're done, that my actions made you numb like me

But now you're free, but lonely
Like me
I'm sorry

. . .


Heart is pounding curtain's drawn.
All seats sold out and lights are on.
Cameras flashing to the beat.
Oh yeah!
Hair is teased and makeup's done,
the crowd is getting ready to sing along.
I can feel all eyes on me.
Oh yeah!

So come on, come on, come on and go and get it.
You're on, you're on, you're on this very minute.
Come on, come on, you know that you've got nothing to hide.
So come on, come on and drop the hesitation.
Just close your eyes and put your rocks in motion.
The game is on it's time to let the dice collide.
Cause tonight, tonight is your night, tonight you have arrived!

This is what you all waited for,
so put your cellphones on record.
Clap your hands and scream for more.
Oh yeah!!

So come on, come on, just go up there and get it.
You're on, you're on, you're on this very minute.
Look up, look up there's a brand new star in the sky.
Come on, come on, don't waste another second
Go out, go out and grab all the attention
The stage is yours to keep, the moment is right.
Cause tonight, tonight is your night, tonight you have arrived!

So come on, come on, come on and go and get it.
You're on, you're on, you're on this very minute.
Come on, come on, you know that you've got nothing to hide.
Cause tonight, tonight is your night, tonight you have arrived!

. . .


We've had our share of joy and pain
But we both get up so high
Just to come down again
And now you're like a rocket disengaging

Everything of yours I've gathered up
When you come 'round here
You won't be drinking from my cup
And I've been fast asleep
But now I'm waking
It had to happen sometime

I'm rising up
I'm right over you
So fly away
Cause that's the best thing you can do
Don't keep telling me how I should feel about us
I don't feel anything, baby

There was love, I can't deny
But your arms can't hold on to me
So just keep them by your side
Your eyes won't always be spilling over
Yeah, it had to happen sometime

I'm rising up
I'm right over you
So fly away
Cause that's the best thing you can do
Don't keep telling me how I should feel about us
I don't feel anything, baby

Maybe we could have grown
But if I made a mistake
God knows, I found out without you
Don't fool yourself

All those things you thought we'd see
Well, you gonna have to save them for someone on me
One day you will move on and there you'll be forever
Forever, forever

I'm rising up
I'm right over you
So fly away
Cause that's the best thing you can do
Don't keep telling me how I should feel about us
I don't feel anything, baby

Oh, I'm rising up
I'm right over you
So fly away
Cause that's the best thing you can do
Don't keep telling me how I should feel about us
I don't feel anything, baby

. . .


There is no point, is there? In trying, anymore
Where are you? When I need you, my love
Why won't you care?
Days and nights they all seem to go by with the sun, this is our last goodbye

Oh, Sonny, my sweet Sonny,
I tried to hard
Goodnight Sunny, goodbye Sonny
We both know it's right
Days and nights they seem to go by with the sun, this is our last goodbye
Days and nights they seem to go by with the sun, this is our last goodbye
