The way to your heart
The way to your heart

There are voices like water
Inside your heart
Echo

Take me back to the place where I once belonged
This could be any place
A place where you and I could sing this song
Take me back where I hear waterfalls flowing

Let me dive into the lake where winter hides the snow
Then comes the summertime
Fields of scarlet poppies grow
Take me back where I see butterflies to-ing, fro-ing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything
I'd rather fall into you

Let me sleep a little while underneath the tree
And dream of dragonflies
Where the weary willow weeps for me
Take me back where I see dandelions blowing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything

If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow? Would I keep the non-believers away?

Remember that late night last September when you held me in your arms so tight?
I was feeling kind of low, my heart was blue, I was empty 'til you came

But oh what a saturday night
Things were going right
As right as they'd ever been
I know that you love me

If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow? Would I keep the non-believers away?
Was I shy? Was I good? With this foolish heart?
Did I try to deny we would fall apart?

Like a knight in shining armor you came over to save me, what a bolt out of the
blue
Just one look into those eyes you had me fallen completely head over heels in
love with you

But oh what a saturday night
Things were going right
As right as they'd ever been
I know that you love me

If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow? Would I keep the non-believers away?
Was I shy? Was I good? With this foolish heart?
Did I try to deny we would fall apart?

And you saw me, I was falling head over heels in love with you

Saturday night
Things were going right
As right as they'd ever been
I know that you love me

If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow? Would I keep the non-believers away?
Was I shy? Was I good? With this foolish heart?
Did I try to deny we would fall apart?
If they'd ever have told me that I'd find true love in every way
Would I cry 'til tomorrow? Would I keep the non-believers away?
Was I shy? Was I good? With this foolish heart?
Did I try to deny we would fall
Did I try to deny we would fall a

. . .



Stories from the deepest part of my heart
Delving under, cause to wonder
Why am I falling apart?

Scattered all around this topsy-turvy room
Will I find the one who takes me there too soon?

When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all-time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new-found energy
So keep it within and delight as your garden grows

Whispered in some lonesome voice, too afraid to come out of the dark
Sinking down into the covers
Sleep to the beat of your heart

Spinning all around this most peculiar room
Will I find the one who takes me there too soon?

Do be kind and civilized and don't descend into the dark abyss

When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all-time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new-found energy
So keep it within and delight as your garden grows

Do be kind and civilized and don't descend into the dark abyss

When the night is cold and you can't find anything
And your will to survive's at an all-time low
The spirit will fly and return with a new-found energy
So keep it within and delight as your garden grows

And the man up in the moon is shining
Good fortune down on me
And the man up in the moon is shining
Sweet love

. . .



I close my eyes to the sound in the sky and I see
Birds in the trees and pastures green
Nothing to do with the time or the place, I perceive
The rush of the sea beneath my feet

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
Precious like a pearl, wrapped up in a shell
Build your house of stone on a bed of sand
Time and tide will rise, washing through your hands

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky and I hear it
The voice on the breeze is so serene
Nothing to do with the time or the place but I feel it
Like dust on the moon beneath my feet

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
So the story goes, sing the madrigal
What a lovely world, waxing lyrical
See the lies unfold, hear the miracle

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

So the story goes

. . .



For the first time in my life I'm up to run away
It's not a choice that I made easily

It's not that I'm ashamed to face the light of day
It's really just a case of self-delusion

And I know it ain't easy
I know it ain't easy
I know it ain't easy
To see the truth

So run the sun, here's one for the road
And may god's love go with you
My tears are starting to show
Whoa

That I should fall from grace implies a twist of fate
But I'm open to the joys and woes of passion

And who shall take the wheel when it's time for overkill?
There's no release when destiny is calling

And I know it ain't easy
I know it ain't easy
I know it ain't easy
To see the truth

So run the sun, here's one for the road
And may God's love go with you
My tears are starting to show
Whoa

So run to the sun, here's one for the road
Though I'll never be lonely
Are you so high above me?
Whoa

Run to the sun
Run to the sun
Run to the sun

And I know it ain't easy
Somebody reach me
Willing to teach me

So run to the sun, here's one for the road
And may god's love go with you
My tears are starting to show
Whoa

I'll run to the sun, here's one for the road
Though I'll never be lonely
Are you so high above me?
Whoa

So run to the sun, here's one for the road
And may god's love go with you
My tears are starting to show
Whoa
So run to the sun, here's one for the road
Though I'll never be lonely
Are you so high above me?

. . .



Open your eyes, I see your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me, come into the open

When it's cold outside, am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night, there will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony
Oh love

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony
Oh love

Melting the ice for me, jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide, I see your love in motion

When it's cold outside, am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night, there will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony
Oh love

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony
Oh love

When it's cold outside, am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night, there will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony
Oh love

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony

Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears
All through the years

If I could see the world through someone else's eyes
If I could see through you, would I cast you to one side?
And if you gave it all, would I throw it all away?
Like the leaves in autumn winds

From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying

And if you held me here, would the moment fade away?
Into obscurity like the night becomes the day
For all the broken promises, tell me where do I begin?
To throw my caution to the wind

From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying

From the window in the kitchen
To the fireside by the chair
Sat in familiar surroundings
Warm night air
Under the bridges that were burning
Before we reached the other side
All the feelings I remember
I cannot hide
Not for want of trying

Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears

Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears

Longing to sail on through the night to the stars
On until sunrise
Where the moon hides her tears

Can you see this prediliction rushing through my head?
Was a morning full of circumstance
I was seeing red
Put my blues away

Navigation gone astray, went any way I could
Haven't got the time of day
Cannot see why I should
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

Always had my reservations, who am I to blame?
Walked in to the ring of fire
Heart in a wall of flames
Put my blues away

My emotion running riot, through the neighborhood
Screaming in the dead of night
I wish to be understood
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

Navigation gone astray, went any way I could
Haven't got the time of day
Cannot see why I should
Put my blues away

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me, someday

I can hope
I can pray
Until you find me someday

Tell me where you are, hey little darling
'Cause I ain't got twenty-twenty vision
And I know you're here somewhere
And it's nearly bedtime
And I'm getting lonely

Hey little darling, tell me where you are
'Cause I ain't got twenty-twenty vision
And I know you're here somewhere
And it's nearly bedtime

. . .



It won't be easy, it won't be hard
To find the reason, to find the rhyme
To get your feet back on the ground
To get your feet back on the ground

We'll be going home
Where the passion finds the perfect love
Finds the perfect love
Finds the perfect love

We'll be going home
Where the passion covers me with love
Covers me with love
Covers me with love

It won't be out there, it can't be far
Falls like a teardrop to the star
A wall of silence all around
A wall of silence all around

We'll be going home
Where the passion finds the perfect love
Finds the perfect love
Finds the perfect love

We'll be going home
Where the passion covers me with love
Covers me with love
Covers me with love

The miracle of love blinds me with your charms
The miracle of love, take me in your arms

We'll be going home
Where the passion finds the perfect love
Finds the perfect love
Finds the perfect love

We'll be going home
Where the passion covers me with love
Covers me with love

. . .



Because you're so sweet
You lift my heart and I fall back again
But I don't know quite which way to turn

The light in your eyes
Touches the sky and I'm your man again
And you hold me as close as close can be

And many's the time
That you've enchanted me
Now I want you back
Here in my lovin' arms for eternity

Your look and you smile
Warm me inside 'cause you're so good to me
A beauty filled with the joys of spring

No love is too pure
To give to the world in her naivety
Or too tender to caress with a simple kiss

And many's the time
That you've enchanted me
Now I want you back
Here in my lovin' arms for eternity

And many's the time
That you've enchanted me
I want you back
