I won't disown
Those things my heart has sown
The blame is mine alone
I made this fickle heart my own
But how am I supposed to see the stars
How am I supposed to see that far

I see the cost
Of all this heart has lost
And how those dice were tossed
In lives this fickle heart has crossed
But how am I supposed to see the stars
How am I supposed to see that far

How am I supposed to start
And change an ever changing heart
Light some corners of a mind
That isn't there for me to find
How am I supposed to see
The stars you say are meant for me
How am I supposed to praise
Those stars with eyes I cannot raise

Maybe I'm supposed to say
I'm walking tall on feet of clay
Resting only when I check
The albatross around my neck
How am I supposed to see
The stars you say are meant for me
How am I to see

But how can I
Who lent my heart the lie
Now lift up heart and eye
And may the fickle heart see sky
And how am I supposed to see the stars
How am I supposed to see that far

. . .


Once I held a moon, a lover's gift
If memory serves me right
Once I owned a sky where moons could drift
And bathe my world in light
I held onto to that moon as long as he was there
Just holding me
But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon, a lover's [?]
was not his to give
This is life he said, enjoy
But it wasn't mine to live
I let the moon slips through my finger
And my love let go of me
But it means nothing to moons you see

They sail through the night and you follow
You hitch up your heart
To that moon like a cart
It's all [?] you know how
You're faced with your pride but can't swallow
You lift up your spoon
And you howl at the moon that it shouldn't have shone
and that you are not [?] as gone

Once I held a moon
And by its light I loved
And he loved me
But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon
Once I held a moon

. . .


Your weak afterglow
Can't warm a heart in sorrow
The spark that is left behind
Can't light a troubled mind

Your fire I know
Can warm those bleak tomorrows
The dark must not enter in
So let the dance begin

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark

We move to and fro
We beg or steal or borrow
A love that can fan the spark
And help us face the dark

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance, my love
Dance me through the dark

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance, my love
Dance me through the dark

Dance me, love
Dance me through the dark
Dance, my love
Dance me through the dark
Dance me through the dark

. . .


Listen boy you met your match
I've closed my heart, secured the latch
I'll keep it locked should you decide it's time
To help me swallow foolish pride
And to take me for yet another ride
Into that carousel you climbed
Without a word you leave me there
Just hanging in the air

Then you send me flowers
Your flesh is willing, your mind is weak,
these flowers speak
Send more bouquets
Now won't you try to change your ways
And you send me flowers
Your way of winning time and favour
Hope I'll waiver
Send more bouquets
Won't you try to change your ways

Listen
I'll disprove your hunch
That sending flowers by the bunch
Is gonna help you win me back this time
Not every door that sorrow closes
Can be open by your roses
Or let their fragrance cloud my mind
You must learn that tender care
Means all in a love affair

. . .


There's no tender way to say it's the end
And so win or lose
I am forced to choose
Between a lover and a loving friend
Let me hear you say
How you curse the day
You opened up your heart to me
That you ever invited me in
Tell me I'm the loser and you win

I don't want to see you cry
I beg you try
Not to let the pain I'm causing reach your eyes
I don't want to see you cry
Aim your words like spears
Don't break me up by breaking down in tears

Hide your pain but when push comes to shove
Don't keep your pride
Locked deep inside
Rage against the dying of my love
Don't sigh my name
Give me all the blame
Call me heartless call me cruel
And accuse me of dealing in lies
Just don't let my leaving cloud your eyes

I don't want to see you cry
I beg you try
Not to let the pain I'm causing reach your eyes
I don't want to see you cry
You've got to aim your words like spears
Don't break me up by breaking down in tears

Dreams come, dreams go
Some fade, some grow
Dream on, dream on
You've got to dream on
After I've gone

. . .


In a sentence
I just had to fall
Run a risk at all
It all made sense
My heart did not control my head
This being said
Leaves little to tell

In a sentence
This is why I fell
This and so much more
Though young lovers have I known
Gone this road before
And have, like me, been just as sure
In a sentence
I'd say all is well

Might live to rue this day
But hope love's kinder than they say
Didn't plan a single move
Or a play a leading role
He found an alien heart
But at his touch that heart was whole
So what he means to me
Is far more than you see
In a sentence

What I feel for him
Is no passing wind
That's doomed to fade and die
I confess those knowing smile
It makes no odds, you see
In a sentence
I know he loves me

. . .


Take a long, long walk
Off a short, short pier
When you're wading ashore
See if I'm waiting here

Take a long, long walk
In the pouring rain
You know a soaking or two
Works a treat on the brain

You caught me on a hopeless day
It's no one's fault but I just have to say
I must have been insane or half asleep
It turns out your promises weren't made to keep

You came and saw and conquered me
But let me give you some advice for free
The time has come tar you to take a walk
If I'm still here when you get back we'll talk

Take a long. long walk etc.

When the goings heavy
And words they just ain't getting through
The choices ain't so many
So you just do what you must do

A stroll would do the world of good
You might just see our love the way you should
There is no hurry but if you're quick
You'll he hack to see my vanishing trick

Take a long, long walk etc.

. . .


A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
For this is not a miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea

This is not America, no

Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
So bloody red tomorrow's clouds

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not a miracle

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

For this is not America
This is not america, no
This is not america
This is not america, no

. . .


Be what you wanna be and leave the rest me
Another name crossed out on my list
Say what you've got to say
Then you can make your way
Towards my door walk on through a mist
There's no rush take your time
Punishment is part of crime
You'll soon see what you have to pay
You moved and make your film
My (?) here's the bill
So let us hear what you have to say

Be gone
How yuo gonna make it
When you win a heart to break it
when you chuckle out the faking
Be gone
we are the last reminder (?)
A keeper's not a finder
So be a little kinder
Be good
Are you gonne be gone

You think I'm hard as nail
So hope you might check to scale
To (?) you to get this heart to sway
This heart ain't yours to break
So if you're wise
You'll be on your way
Be gone

Be gone
How yuo gonna make it
When you win a heart to break it
when you chuckle out the faking
Be gone
(?)
A keeper's not a finder
So be a little kinder
Be good
Write this in a letter
no no matter we must stand for better
But until I find another way
Be gone, be gone, be gone

Baby be gone
You can go
Be gone, be gone, be gone

. . .


Now that you have found her
Just put your arms around her
Talk then of love and that soon
You'll reach out and give her the moon

We move from cold to colder
So draw her near and hold her
Weave moonlight into her hair
Whisper you'll always be there

Stroke away her sadness
With a touch of moonlight madness
A moon can be borrowed at will
Yet come tomorrow it's still

(It's still) There on high, sailing by
You and I

Get wise and not just older
Draw her near and hold her

. . .


Unbreakable heart play your part
In the scheming I have done
Not to fall for anyone
Or let love start

Unbreakable heart it's an art
You will master by and by
'Til then just be my
Unbreakable heart

You may get swept away
Like other fragile hearts
But don't you ever say
Love's breaking me apart

Unbreakable heart don't depart
From the pact that we have made
Love is forsakeable
My unbreakable heart

. . .


June, what are you crying for?
Soon you'll have to end this war
The days are turning darker now
But hang on to that dream somehow

June, where are you going to?
True, the game got rough on you
Things have turned so sad inside
But hang on to that dream you hide

On and on, the dark will find you
Rain will fall, and clouds surround you
But carry on, my love's behind you
I know I'll see you smiling

June, you'd better stand up, girl
Soon you'll have to face the world
I know you'll find a place somewhere
You'll put things back together there

On and on, the dark will find you
Rain will fall, and clouds surround you
But carry on, my love's behind you
I know I'll see you smiling

The days are turning darker now
But you will find your peace somehow

On and on, the dark will find you
Rain will fall, and clouds surround you
But carry on, my love's behind you
I know I'll see you smiling

On and on, the dark is gonna find you
And the rain is gonna fall, and clouds surround you
But carry on, my love's behind you
I know I'll see you smiling
