Cooke-Shannon

1. As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

Chorus:
I´m a-walkin´ in the rain
Tears are fallin´ and I feel the pain
Wishin´ you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

(Solo: wie 1)

Chorus:
I´m a-walkin´ in the rain
Tears are fallin´ and I feel the pain
Wishin´ you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

. . .


Marriott-Lane

I sit here everyday,
Looking at the sky,
Ever wondering why,
I dream my dreams away,
And I'm living for today,

In my minds eye.
Things are clearer than before,
Showing me the way,
Asking me to stay,
I'll never close the door,
To all these things and more,

In my minds eye.
Everybody I know says I'll change, yeh,
Laughing behind their hands,
I think they're strange.
People running everywhere,
Running through my life,
I couldn't give a care,
Because they'll never see
All that I can see,
With my minds eye.
Aah - ha - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Ha - ha - ha - ha.
In my minds eye.
Aah - ha - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha
Aah - ha - ha

That Man

[No lyrics]

. . .


I've been told it's just a matter of time
Before you meet someone who'll open your mind
But time's on my side and nevertheless
I know the pain of too much tenderness

It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
So what more would you have me do

Although I'm not a guy who means to hurt
And if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you honey, you must realise
And see confusion in my rounded eyes

It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And it's me that you're looking through

. . .


Marriott-Lane

Girl, hold my hand (hand)
Girl, I know you'll understand (stand)
That I've been waiting for a long long time
Think everything's gonna turn out fine

Hey! Hey! It's alright
Hey! Hey! It's alright
Hey! Hey! My my my
Hey! Hey! Yeh yeh yeh

Girl, treat me kind (kind)
And girl, I think you'll find (find)
That no-one can love you better than me
Close your eyes and I think you'll see

Hey! Hey! It's alright
Hey! Hey! My my my
Hey! Hey! Come on children
Hey! Hey! My oh my

When I think of what I've missed
It makes me laugh inside
All the girls that I ain't kissed
Just to keep my pride Yeh yeh yeh yeh

So girl, look around (round)
And girl, see what we've found (found)
We've found something we can't fight
Don't think twice it'll be alright now

Hey! Hey! It's alright
Hey! Hey! I said my my my yeh
Hey! Hey! Yeh It's alright
Hey! (Yeh!) Hey! Yeh! It's alright
Hey! (Hey!) Hey! Hey! It's alright
Hey! (Yeh!) Hey! Yeh! It's alright
Hey! (Aw!) Hey! Ooh! It's alright
Hey! (Ooh!) Hey! Yeh! It's alright
Hey! (C'mon!) Hey! Shake your head
Hey! (Alright) Hey! I promise that
Hey! (Yeh!) Hey! Oh it's alright
Hey! (everybody) Hey! It's alright when I say
Hey! Hey! Alright, alright, alright
Hey! Hey! (fade)

. . .


I've a feeling that I know you (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)
Tell me have you ever seen me (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)
I hear, I see â€" have you seen me
Through it all I've been here without you (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)
Tell me have you ever seen me (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)

Words seem out of place, all my life I've known your face
Have you ever seen me, have you ever seen me

Many flowers are breaking through the concrete (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)
Listen everybody I can hear them breathing (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)
I hear, I see â€" have you seen me
I felt I got a feeling that I know you (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)
I got to know â€" have you ever seen me (heyr-heyr, heyr-heyr-heyr-heyr)

Covey-Miller

Come back and take this hurt off me,
Baby come back and take this hurt off me,
'Cause I'm too young to be in misery now,
Baby come back and take this hurt off me.

I've been waitin' at the bus station,
'Cause that's where you left me standin',
Got my clothes in a twenty-five cents locker,
I'll be here till the greyhound brings you back again baby,

Come back and take this hurt off me,
Baby come back and take this hurt off me,
'Cause I'm too young to be in misery now,
Baby come back and take this hurt off me,

I knocked on my mother's door,
She said "Stevie, what honey -
Son you don't have to say a mumbling word",
She left my little baby again, yes she did now,

Come back and take this hurt off me,
Baby come back and take this hurt off me,
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby now,
What kind of love could this be,
Baby, baby, baby I don't know what you got,
It's got me, it's got me, it got me yes it has now,

I've been to see my doctor, [I've been to see my doctor now],
He did all he could [He did all he could],
But there was nothing he could do for me girl,
You're the only one that could, come on baby,

Come back and take this hurt off me,
Baby come back and take this hurt off me,
Hurt me, [Hurt me],
So bad, [Hurt me],
Oh yeah, [Hurt me],
So bad, [Hurt me],
Take this hurt off me baby, [Hurt me],
Oohhh, oh yeah, [Hurt me],
You know it's hurt me so bad like I've never been hurt before, [Hurt me],
So bad.....[fade].......

. . .


I thought you'd listen to my reason
But now I see you don't hear a thing
Got to make you see how it's got to be
Yes if it's all right
All or nothing yeah yeah
All or nothing
All or nothing for me
Things could work out just like I want them to
If I could have the other half of you
You know I would if I only could
Yes it's yeah
All or nothing oh yeah
All or nothing if I could I'd say
All or nothing for me
Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
Pa pa pa pa ta pa pa pa ta ta
I ain't telling you no lie girl
So don't just sit there and cry girl
All or nothing (oh no)
All or nothing (oh yeah)
All or nothing (gotta gotta gotta keep on tryin')
All or nothing ......
(For me, for me, for me we're not children...)

Marriott-Lane-O'Sullivan

One and-a two and-a three and-a four and-a
This feeling of spring like the wing of a bird that is flying,
The nights they go cold as my mind does go old and I'm looked at,
A Inspected, hated, accepted
The wise men they wrangle, their minds look for angles and meaning (meaning!),
But the ceiling is light as I glide through the night and I'm leaving,
Living, being, mmm - mmm - mmm

. . .


Marriott-Lane

I know how you're feeling,
I've felt that way too,
So don't get hung up,
'Cos it's healing,
And I'm gonna help you through it all.

Listen baby,
I can make it if you can,
I can take it if you can,
I know that your heart's strong,
I know that you'll hold on.
I can't make it without you,
(No,no ,no)
I can't make it without you,
So open up your mind,
As well as your heart,
I can't go on knowing you're not near me,
No, no no no.

I know that I could love you,
'Cos you kissed me with your eyes,
But if you ain't got the strength to make it with me,
Then I can't sympathise,

Now listen, baby,
I can make it if you can,
Hey, yeah
I can take it if you can,
My, my, my
I know that your heart's strong,
Hey, yeah,
I know that you'll hold on.
Listen,
I can't make it without you,
(No,no ,no)
I can't make it without you,
You know it's true girl,
Ha, you know it's true girl,
I can't make it without you,
So get yourself together and under control,
And take me baby before I decide to go,
Yeah, yeah ,yeah yeah yeah,yeah, yeah,
Yeah, I gotta keep on trying for you,
Heah, I can't make it without you,
No, no,no,no no,no,
No, heah, I gotta sing this song one more time,
Heah, I can't, I can't I can't (fade)

Marriott-Lane

I see crazy patterns everytime I look your way
I can feel those crazy patterns forcing me to stay
Patterns in the womans hands that weren't there yesterday
Patterns all the way
Patterns all the way.

Your rosy eyes are closing and you're staring at the door
The sun is slowly rising and you're staring at the floor
Patterns in the morning sky that weren't there yesterday
Patterns all the way
Patterns all the way.

Ah - ah - ah – ah
Patterns, patterns.
Ah - ah - ah – ah
Patterns, patterns.

Patterns in the way you look that weren't there yesterday
Patterns all the way
Patterns all the way.

Ah - ah - ah – ah
Patterns, patterns
Ah - ah - ah – ah
Patterns, patterns.

(Repeat x3 and fade)
