One flake of snow
does not mean its winter
one ray of light
does not mean its day
the tree may fall
its silence will linger
but I may not see
you walk away
How far can I run
how hard can I try
when all is said and done
its so hard to cry
One tear falls down
your face in my arms
I hear the sound
of your beating heart
I'm lost in embrace
I'm lost in affection
one feeling ends
another will start
How far can I run
how hard can I try
when all is said and done
its so hard to cry
The law has been laid down
the rules can't be changed now
its all been one season
with nothing but rain
there's been no justice
there's no release
from this moment
this moment is pain
One open road
does not mean a journey
when we share the load
the day seems so light
the night bird will sing
its song will not hurt me
I want you to know
I love you tonight
But how far can I run
how hard can I try
when all is said and done
its so hard to cry
One flake of snow
does not mean winter
one ray of light
does not mean a day
the tree may fall
its silence will linger
now I don't need
to walk away
now I don't need-to walk away
. . .

time was never on our side
beauty reaches for the light
from the shadow of your smile
into my heart
there's a flower in my field you know
holding love up like a shield
now I know we have it sealed
here in my heart
every night I turn the lights down
slowly
and watch you in your afterglow
I want to get close to you
tell me you want me too
what can I do?
I need you now
and I want you now
in my life
where the stream begins to flow
a life of love that springs we know
from every word
into my soul
treasure buried deep inside
turns the hands of love way back in time
leaving all the past behind
can we let it go?
every night I turn the lights down
slowly
and watch you in your afterglow
I want to get close to you
tell me you want me too
what can I do?
I need you now
and I want you now
in my life
we've been holding on
for things to change
the fear is gone
we've turned the page
in our book of love
and to know this love
is to hold it all
from high above and
feel the flow of your love
my love
I want to get close to you
tell me you want me too
what can I do?
I need you now
and I want you now
in my life
I want to get close to you
tell me you want me too
I want to get close to you
I want to get close to you

Do you ever wake up thinking?
all in life is well
did you ever wake up dreaming?
and then you fell
did you ever need for sweeter
all in life is fine
did you ever wake up shaking, shaking
Wake me up and make me smile
what I need to know makes it all worthwhile
Climb on this cloud and ride away
feet on the ground - just for today
come on up from down so you can say
did you ever wake up, wake up - and wish me away?
Did you ever wake up sleeping?
walking down the street
did you ever wake up leaving?
did you ever leave?
did you ever need survival?
all in life you fear
did you ever wake up reeling, reeling?
Wake me up and make me smile
what I need to know makes it all worthwhile
Climb on this cloud and ride away
feet on the ground - just for today
come on up from down so you can say
did you ever wake up, wake up - and wish me away?
You slipped between the covers of my open book
your silence only smothers that lonely look
every time I asked you, you miss-understood
climb on this cloud and ride away
feet on the ground - just for today
Climb on this cloud and ride away
feet on the ground - just for today
come on up from down so you can say
did you ever wake up, wake up - and wish me away? (repeat)
Did you ever
Did you ever
Did you ever
Did you ever wish me away?

I don't trust you
you've let me down before
so why must you choose
to still ignore
my tears and my words
are not being heard
and I don't love you
any more
I don't want you
you've heard it all before
it wont stop you
from being so unsure
It's all I ever wanted
to be in love with you
it's all I ever needed
to keep it true
to be in love with you
to be in love
it's all I ever wanted
I don't trust you
it's all up hill this time
can I ask you
where did you draw that line
my head's full of lies
so packed with disguise
I don't trust you
any more
I don't want you
you've heard it all before
but it want stop you
from being so unsure
It's all I ever wanted
to be in love with you
it's all I ever needed
to keep it true
to be in love with you
to be in love
it's all I ever wanted
Love was built upon a rock
that sank into the sea
it could never stop you
from wanting me
love was there in every beat
that echoed in my heart
it could never stop you
from calling me
calling me
I don't trust you
you've let me down before
It's all I ever wanted
to be in love with you
to be in love with you
to be in love
it's all I ever wanted
to be in love with you
to be in love
it's all I ever wanted
. . .

I remember when we used to sit
and wish our dreams would come true
I remember when we used to cry
and I would help ease your pain
maybe if I hadn’t gone when I did girl
we would be together and I’d be lovin you
I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
I’ve seen so many beautiful things
woah I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
and I want to share this love I have for you
I have for you
Dirty scenes in limousines,
I was messed up and out of my mind
wow sinioritta danced with me, cheek to cheek
it felt so nice.
I paid the price of losing lovers and friends
how was I to know that every road
leads me back to you in the end
I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
I’ve seen so many beautiful things
woah I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
and I want to share this love I have for you
I have for you
I broke all the rules you know it don’t make much sense
how I came to feel the way I do
and if I had the chance to do it all again
honey I’m sorry, honey I’m sorry
I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
I’ve seen so many beautiful things
woah I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
and I want to share this love I have for you
Woah I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
I’ve seen so many beautiful things
woah I’ve been around the world and now I’m back again
and I want to share this love I have for you
I have for you
Woahhhh I’ve been around
so many many many beautiful things
I want to share this love I have for you

Mother’s drink is in her handbag
she sleeps most of the day
her dog barks at the freeway
as the uptown drives away
from their offices and dietaries
to their homes upon the hill
the rain beats on their window
now that time is standing still
For all the tea in china
would not move away
but for a little sunshine
I find the time of day
this moment isn’t moving
this moment’s here to stay
and there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this moment is ok
Dad sits down in his armchair
watching spiders on the floor
making bets with one another
who’ll be the first to walk out the door
it’s a palace of distinction
why ain’t it home to me?
where the sun comes up in the darkness
where the drinking sets me free
For all the tea in china
would not move away
but for a little sunshine
I find the time of day
this moment isn’t moving
this moment’s here to stay
and there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this moment is ok
And I thought I saw an angel
and it tapped upon my shoulder
and I wasn’t ready for the answers yet, oh no
but I knew that it was over
its time to move along
now the past is never gone
And there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this moment is ok yeah
ohhh and there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this moment is ok
live:
Settled in my daydream
my time was made of gold,
where the roses grow in stairswalls
from every breath that you hold
The truth is in this wakening
the sadness of this heart,
where the families live together
like the fingers of a spark
There’s nothing wrong with dreaming.....yeah yeah yeah
there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this moment's here to stay
there’s nothing wrong with dreaming.....no no no
there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this moment is ok!

Gimme gimme gimme some vibe yeah
You don’t fight fire with fire
you don’t talk rubbish with me
the only state …….
is where I want to be
It’s a puzzle I have been solving
some say its all in my mind
but you don’t need manners to make it
just follow the New York vibe
One day you might be dreaming
and you’ll need me to reappear
like a wolf that came to your window
and left with a flea in its ear, yeah
Doing the New York Vibe, the New York Vibe.
It’s a nightmare waiting to happen
some say its all in my mind
but you don’t need money to make it
just stick with the New York vibe
Walking down the avenues
searching for a face in the crowd
through the subways and the restaurants I’ll be looking
but the heat it cools me down yeah
Doing the New York Vibe,
doin the New York vibe now baby
Verse 3 ~ then instrumental

The wind speaks in the trees
as the dog walks to the moon
today I'm on my knees
here with my thought balloon
it says-where did I go wrong
what turning did I miss
the paradise is gone
and all that's left is this
The cars in The Strand
are bumper to bumper
the heat is making me weak
this London life in the summer
as the wheels of fortune squeak
Piccadilly-Russel Square
pretty women walking there
Help me
help me to find
help me to find you here
tell me
tell me this time
this time I will make it clear
that I love you
The sun sits on the fields
the lovers out there lie
me weakness is revealed
in this letter that I write
it says-where did I go wrong
what good will running do
was it a passing phase did
I miss the sign for you
The men in fube are
shoulder to shoulder
the heat is making me weak
its London life in the summer
as the lights change on the street
Chelsea Bridge-Leicester Square
pretty women walking there
Help me
help me to find
help me to find you here
tell me
tell me this time
I'll make you clear
that I love you
Searching every shadow
trying hard to hear your name
running from the sorrow
right back into your arms again
Help me
help me to find
help me to find you here
tell me
tell me this time
I'll make you clear
that I love you
After dark in market streets
crowded bars where lovers meet
walking down the alley ways
people who've seen much better days
music coming from the shop
the rhythm never seems to stop
I'm looking for you and holding out
you might just be here hanging round
cars are lifted and toued away
another ending another day
hotel porters are hailing cabs
one arm holding two heavy bags
a plane is landing to the West
I look for you and never rest
the dogs still walking to the moon
good night sweet heart see you soon
. . .

Hey you - where you going to go to
when I'm gone
are you going to ask me
to carry on
when your not around
Hang on - maybe there's a reason
not to go - could there be an answer
I don't know
Maybe when we rescue ourselves
we treasure our words much more
more than we imagine we do
when we think it all through
we're sure we know
to close the door
on this moment of true
Hey you - you with all the answers
why me - what's it got to do with poor me
I can't let us fall
Hang on - maybe there's a reason
not to go - tell me there is an answer
love won't go
Maybe when we rescue ourselves
we treasure our worlds much more
more than we imagine we do
when we think it all through
we're sure, we know
to close the door
on this moment of truth
I'm a lonely soul in places
where onces we were the faces
that filled the evening air
the laughter haunts me there
So many when we rescue ourselves
we treasure our worlds much more
more than we imagine we do
when we think it all through
I'm sure
So maybe when we smother ourselves
we need at the help
and more
More than we can handle
it's our manner of greed
I'm sure, we know
to close the door
On this moment of truth
. . .

She,
she may be tender
she may be weak
but in my arms
she can be free
free of all worry
released from her pain
she need not suffer
She can lean on me
she can call my name
we can share in the darkness
by the heat of the flame
she can lean on me
I can call her name
we can share in the darkness
now I´m not to blame
She,
she may be tender
she my be hurt
life has a habit
of helping us learn
learn from our troubles
and take what we will
we must remember
She can lean on me
She may remember
that love can be cold
love is no story
that hasn´t been told
keep it so simple
keep love so sweet
she may be tender
and our love will keep
She can lean on me
. . .

The notes in my life
were so out of time
then you came to me
and not a moment too soon
now the song I sing
has no reason or rhyme...oh baby
you've filled in the parts
that I never seemed to find
You are the missing sound
in my life
the missing part of me
you are the missing sound
in my life
you make my life complete
Until you came along
I rearched the world in vain
all my songs of love
were a sad refrain
but you changed my tune
put it perfectly in time..oh baby
you showed me the way
and you opened up my mind
You are the missing sound
in my life
the missing part of me
you are the missing sound
in my life
you make my life complete
Your love fills me up
and it's music to my ears...oh baby
the sound of my love
playing on through the years
You are the missing sound
in my life
the missing part of me
you are the missing sound
from my life
you make my life complete
you are the missing sound
from my life
the missing part of me
. . .

I stayed up late
and watched the moon on the river
I sat on the bed
I hoped you would't leave
I looked out the window
at the cars on the street
what had I said....
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
as another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you
in the Memphis Moonlight
I wake up tired
and watched the rain gently falling
I laid on the bed
I hoped you would return
your face at the front door
was a dream come true
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I watched another plane flying high
as another day drifts by
thinking of you
in the Memphis Moonlight
She sits with me
the neon in her eyes
the sun will never rise
until the misty morning
it's all turned out
as day turns to night
I stayed up late
and watched the moon on the river
I sat on the bed
I hoped you would't leave
I looked out the window
at the cars on the street
what had I said....
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
as another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you
in the Memphis Moonlight
