[No lyrics]

I was born by the river raised by the sea
Baptised in muddy water to drown the devil in me
I'm going back to the river down to the stream
Im going to follow that water and find my dream

Where Saint John be waiting on me
To wash my sins away
Hey Saint Christopher pray for me
'Cause baby I'm on my way

Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbows end
And maybe then I'll know
Where the rivers flow

You know the gypsy woman told me about a river of gold
Full of dreams for the asking in the valley of souls
So I called to the captain come on and take my hand
I'm going to follow that water to the promised land

Across the bridge of silence
Go ahead baby cry me a river

She give me love she give me pain
She give the whole damn world and take it back again
She stole my heart she mess my mind
She took my happiness and sold it for a dime

But she give love love love
Love love love

She give me truth she tell me lies
She irresistible her kiss can paralyse
She bittersweet sugar cane
I'm her whipping boy she my hurricane

She so fine she with me all the time
Everything she does always blow my mind
Then she give me love
Then she give me love

She treat me good she treat me mean
My baby got more shake than a gypsy tambourine
She soothe my soul she shake my tree
I'm her flower child and she my honey bee

She give me shoe stiletto screw
Spike heel track across my back saying I love you
She give me pain I go insane
So drive me crazy baby here I come again

First she give me love then she give me pain
I'm laughing in the sun crying in the rain
Then she give me love
Then she give me love

If you're tired of holding on
And you feel you can't go on
when it's all too much to bear
Call my name

If the sun refused to shine
And you're all used up from trying
When you can't hold back the tears
I'll be there
I'll be there

So don't you cry
Don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Baby don't you cry

If you feel your love grow cold
When it chills your heart and soul
If you need a hand to hold
Think of me

You're the reason I love
You're my heaven above
You're the reason I try
So dry the tears in your eyes
You're the reason I'm here
The reason I'm living for

So if you're tired of holding on
And you feel you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
I'll be there

They say love, love is blind
And true love is hard to find
It makes you wonder
Now your yesterdays news
At the bitter end of a love affair
Some you win some you loose

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

They say time heals the pain
And sooner or later it's back again
But don't be angry
That your heart could be so wrong
When that all familiar feeling's
Got you singing the same old song

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

Now it's time for parrying
For the nights sleep alone
Makes you wonder why
You never learn from the past
'Cause this ain't the first time baby
And it won't be the last

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

love is blind
Love is blind

So if love, love is blind
And true love is so hard to find
There is only one remedy
To take away the pain
You got to roll with the punches, baby
Score all over again

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

Love is blind, love is blind, love is blind, love is blind
Love is blind, love is blind, love is blind, love is blind
Love is blind, love is blind, love is blind, love is blind
Love is blind, love is blind, love is blind, love is blind

You know I didn't mean to hurt you baby
I didn't really mean to cause you pain
So if you want I will cover you with kisses
And I will be your slave again

I need your love and understanding baby
But you changed the lock on your front door
If you want I will cover you with roses
I want to be your slave again

I want to be your
I want to be your
I want to be your slave slave

You know I'm getting tired of back door loving
You give me all my heart desires
Lord have mercy when I slipped and fell and I broke your heart
I want to be your slave again

If you want I will cover you with kisses
Sweet surrender to your touch
If you want take all I give
I want to be your slave
I want to be your slave again
I want to be your slave baby

So here I am waiting to see you baby
Stacking roses around your front door
I miss your love I miss your loving touch now mama
I want to be your slave again

I lost my heart in a moment of madness
Took a chance on romance with you
But you roll your dice as cold as ice
Llady luck's got nothing on you
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

You deal your cards under the table
Never giving nothing away
You're the black queen of hearts tearing me apart
Cheating on me night and day
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

Somebody throw me a life preserver
'Cause I'm going down
With a cry for love
A cry for love

I'm out of luck and you're no lady
This game of love ain't treating me right
So pour another shot double what you got
Get me drunk as a skunk tonight
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

I can't run I can't hide
Always on the losing side
Can't you see me?
Can't you hear a cry for love
A cry for love
A cry for love

Somebody throw me a life preserver
Get me off shaky ground
Call off the dogs that hound me
'Cause I'm going down
With a cry for love
A cry for love

Cry cry cry cry for love

When I need a hand to guide me I find you there
And everything you give to me is filled with love and care
You take away the memory of a thousand rainy days
With promises of summer love you chase the clouds away

Now if the sky should fill with rain
I know the sun will shine again

When I think of all the heartache that I've been through
The many mistakes I had to make to lead me here to you
All the hurt and sadness don't seem so much
As the walls I built around my heart crumble when we touch

Through my life was filled with pai
You show me how to love again

And now I'm never going to run never going to hide
I'm living on love
Never going to run never going to hide
I'm living on love
Nothing's going to stop me now
'Cause I'm living on love with you

So as you lay beside me I'll sing songs of love to you
'Cause everything I'm feeling babe I know you feel it too
Nothing can come between us no dark clouds in the way
All the love I feel for you grows stronger every day

After all is said and done
I know you're the only one

Oh baby baby you're the only one

In the cold light of the morning
I watch the sunrise slowly dawning
I close me eyes and I see you there
And the silence takes my breath away
I can't stand to face another day

In the evening when the sun goes down
I reach out for you but you're not around
You colour my world midnight blue
So what's a man like me to do
With all the love i feel for you?

Come and take me midnight blue
Here I am I'm waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me
When I need sympathy sympathy

Under streetlights I walk alone
Hiding in shadows from dusk till dawn
The taste of your perfume on the cold night air
Leaves a sadness hanging over me
The thought of you won't let me be

I used to be the man for you
Did everything you wanted me to
So tell me, baby, what did I do wrong

I told you what you wanted to know
Precious secrets never spoken before
All I'm asking, where did I go wrong

Some things are better left unsaid
But all I do is cry instead
Now I've cried me a river
Thinking how it used to be

And there've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me, baby, where did I go wrong

Everything I had was yours
More than I have ever given before
So, won't you tell me did I hurt you so bad

I guess I'm fooling myself
'Cause I want you and no one else
And I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me

And there've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me, baby, where did I go wrong

Now my heart is breaking
My whole world is shaking
'Cause I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me

And there've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me, baby, where did I go wrong

Where did I go wrong
Where did I go wrong
Where did I go wrong

I've been lied to all my life
It cuts me to the bone but I've survived
Lies and deceptions so hard to see
When I needed you you turned you back on me

Where were you when I needed you?
Everything you asked of me I tried to do

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Do anything you want but don't lie to me

I was drowning in misery
Behind your painted smile you laughed at me
But I've got your number it's clear to see
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
One thing I can't stand is when you lie to me

And all because I trusted you
But lied to me you lied

I've been lied to all my life
It cuts me to the bone but I survived
Nothing ever changes it's still the same
But one day you'll get yours in the lying game

You mean the world to me
More than I can say
And when I look at you
It takes my breath away
I look into your eyes
And see the love for me
Once again I realise
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

And when my life is over
When my time is through
I'll still be loving you
You're all I want
Everything I need
When I look at you it's easy to believe

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Wherever you may go
My heart will follow you

You stand beside me
When my back's against the wall
You cradle my uncertainty
And catch me when i fall
So put your arms around me
Like a circle around the sun
Touch me with your healing hand
And show my life has just begun

I didn't mean to cause you pain
If you'd have me back again
I'd be happy never blue
As long as I have you

I get so lonely in the night
I need you to hold me tight
Doesn't matter what you do
As long as I have you

I don't want to live in misery
Only you can set me free
And all my dreams will come true
As long as I have you

Every morning I wake up
Eipe the tears from my eyes
Just as long as we make up
I don't mind I don't mind
As long as I have you

I didn't mean to cause you pain
If you'd have me back again
I'd be happy never blue
As long as I have you

[No lyrics]

I can be happy daydreaming about you
I feel I know true love for the first time in my life
Sitting here thinking it don't get much better
Such love and affection I never thought I know

And I've got all the time in the world for you babe
Every minute of the day
All the time in the world for you babe
And it don't get much better it don't get much better than you and me
I just can't get enough of your love

So don't tell me it's raining I know my sun is shining
I ain't got no black cloud hanging over my head
Don't tell me I'm dreaming lord I'm holding in clover
Ain't nothing but blue skies when I'm with you

And I've got all the time in the world for you babe
Every minute of the day
All the time in the world for you babe
And it don't get much better it don't get much better than you and me
I just can't get enough of your love

All the time in the world
All the time in the world

And I've got all the time in the world for you babe
Every minute of the day
All the time in the world for you babe
It don't get much better it don't get much better
All the time in the world for you babe
Every minute of the day
All the time in the world for you babe
It don't get much better it don't get much better than you and me
I just can't get enough of your love

All the time in the world
All the time in the world
All the time in the world
All the time in the world
(All the time in the world is repeated while david sings the following lines)
Don tell me its raining
I know my sun is shining
Aint got no black cloud hanging over my head
Aint nothing but blue skies when I'm with you
It don't get much better
Just cant get enough of your love
It don't get much better
Just cant get enough of your love
