A view is not a view if not with somebody
A smile is just a smile if not from inside
And you, you are not alone
No you, you are not alone
The record plays our songs
So we all dance along
The moon it lights the way
Until the break of day
So let’s all dance for love
Cos we’re born and die alone
But in the in between
(Gotta) take the love we need to keep on and on
Rise with the sun, you give me your body
Blinded by your light, i’m drowning in your arms
With you I am not alone
With you, I am not alone
The record plays our songs
So we all dance along
The moon it lights the way
Until the break of day
So let’s all dance for love
Cos we’re born and die alone
But in the in between
(Gotta) take the love we need to keep on and on

The Garden

I’m ready to rest in a restless place
It’s a feeling I get most every day
I’m turning my gaze to the sun
I like it on my face
I hear you on the breeze
Got a feeling I’ve been here a long long time
Carried away by the noonday sun
My thoughts play out like a show
I watch them from my seat
In my garden I can be
The scent of a rose takes hold of me
While a fire burns far away
Birds fly high up above
They sing their songs of love
I hear you on the breeze
Got a feeling I’ve been here a long long time
Carried away by the noonday sun
My thoughts play out like a show
I watch them from my seat
In my garden I can be.
I say now oooo, ohhh, oo, oh oh
I cry now oooo, ohh, oo, oh oh
cos I can be myself, for a while
This inner child
Is alright
The failing light revives me
As the moon takes over the show
A cold chill whips through my hair
Orion hunts the air
I hear you on the breeze
Got a feeling I’ve been here a long long time
Carried away by the noonday sun
My thoughts play out like a show
I watch them from my seat
In my garden I can be

Head In The Clouds

A terrible shame
I didn’t know till I was caught up in half way there
A wonderful game
I wasn’t playing so behind me passed ten years
And the newspaper said
There’s no way to get ahead
With the coming of our sons
It goes on and on and on
Walking around with my head in the clouds
No light to show me where to go
Walking around got no feet on the ground
The higher i go
With tired eyes
Can’t see the future for all of the looking back
What a crying shame
I missed my time
Leaving life up on the shelf
Still the newspaper said
There’s no way to get ahead
And with the coming of our son’s
It goes on and on and on
Walking around with my head in the clouds
No light to show me where to go
Walking around got no feet on the ground
The higher I go
In time honoured style, i’ll be here for a while standing tall
Walking around with my head in The clouds
Waiting for what? I don’t know
And with the coming of our sons
And the light that we downplay (no no)
For those good people we know
It’ll go on and on and on
Walking around with my head in the clouds
No light to show me where to go
Walking around got no feet on the ground
The higher I go
In time honoured style, i’ll be here for a while standing tall
Walking around with my Head in The clouds -
Waiting for what? I don’t know
Well I’m walking around, head in the clouds
I can’t see!
Do you believe in me?

Last Man Standing
04:21

Roads, we’ve walked down them all
But why can’t we see
That we’re going round in circles?
Fight, for what you believe
But what if it means
That you fall short of the middle?
It’s funny how we, take what we want
But not what we need
Day after day
We dance and we sway
To the beat of the drum
Of someone else’s song
Did I just catch a glimpse of what I thought we could’ve been?
But we’re so busy hanging on
To make sense of all this
But what if your the last man standing?
Run, as fast as you can
Into the seas
Hoping they’ll wash you far from
Here, far from the heap
Do u see what I see?
We’re breaking in a million pieces
So which way is up
When we’re staring downwards
It’s a wonder how we’re still here?
Day after day
We dance and we sway
To the beat of the drum
Of someone else’s song
Did I just catch a glimpse of what I thought we could’ve been?
But we’re so busy hanging on
To make sense of all this
But what if your the last man standing?

Walls

We’re one and one and I cant stand
To be the girl holding your hand just to
See you smiling again
Terrified of going alone so i
Give you one more go can I
Keep the wolf from my door
But I’m wanting more, than I care to explore
I’m calling a truce, you know I’m through
And a 100 eyes could see where we went wrong
Just give me someone to keep me strong
All we need, all we need, all we need, all we need, all we need, all we need is someone who -
Is gonna take the time, time, time, time, time, to see right through
All the walls that we have built so high
Yeah, when I find you
It’s gonna take timeeeeee
To break right through
To break right through
I rip it up to start it again so I
To give me one more chance can I
To move those mountains up ahead
Show me the road less walked on
So I can give all I got and some
Body show me how to live
But I’m wanting more, than I care to explore
I’m calling a truce, you know I’m through
And a 100 eyes could see where it went wrong
Just give someone to keep me strong

We Speak In Silence

Alone again
(We’re) victims of words we should have never said
(There’s) a prison of truth inside your bed
Eye to eye
A courtroom of fire
We’re just doing time
Chalking up lines until we’re done
Silence
Silence
Silence in your room
Silence, there’s a silence
Silence fills your room
Fake it thru
Forever fairweather in the scheme of you
now the curtain falls
the lights go down
Silence
Silence
Silence in your room
Silence, there’s a silence
Silence fills your room
I recognize your face but I cant seem to place where quite froooom
But now, If loves a lullaby how will I sleep tonight
And we speak
With no words
Cos we know
That’s it’s over
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo

Lucky Day

There's a girl, a girl that you know
She's so exposed, but you like her anyway Like, not quite love, it's all just the same, it all ends anyways
A dream dancing through your room
Some things in life just bloom
It looks like its gonna be your lucky day
It looks like its gonna be your lucky day
And them wild horses, they won't, drag you away
From what's gonna be your lucky day, my friend
Try try as you might,
you will not find A better place than she
Let it grow & she'll let you know
that you are the one that she wants everyday
A dream breaking through your blues
You too old to play but too young to throw it away
It looks like its gonna be your lucky day
It looks like its gonna be your lucky day
And them wild horses, they won't, drag you away
From what's gonna be your lucky day, my friend
There's a girl, a girl that you know
She's so exposed, but you like her anyway And you know, when you know
It's all just the same, it all ends anyways
You’ve waited a whole lifetime
For this girl to be by your side
There's a girl, a girl that we know, she's so exposed, but you love her anyway

Midnight in the City

Cast your weapon carefully
And then follow the girl into the night
Tap her on her shoulder
And she’s so pretty, love the fear in her eyes
Ohh, it came as no surprise
And then, then, life for his laid out bare
Crawling on her hands and knees
And then, then, last breath she gave as he took her away
Crawling on her hands and knees
A yellow sign for us and them to see
Midnight in the city, no time for love no time for, pain
Midnight in the city, no time for love no time for, pain
And then, then, his hell for hers to harm she will come
All at once he’s satisfied, yes he is
And then, then, into a dream born not to run from
All at once he’s satisfied
A yellow sign for us and them to see
Midnight in the city, no time for love no time for, pain
Midnight in the city, no time for love no time for, pain

Two Birds
04:09

Let's star in a movie about ourselves
Be in a book upon our shelves
Starcrossed lovers in a sonnet for two
A whole new meaning to the words 'I love you'
Holding me close, this weight is no more
Two birds two birds that fly together
They stay stay stay forever
Two birds two birds that fly together
They stay stay stay Lovers
The days grow shorter we're no longer of youth
The cracks have deepened but I'm always for you
A life like a diamond, our love goes on
We're just two birds and I knew at once but I...
...couldn't seem to make up my mind
But when I see you coming I'm fine
There's no words to describe..........
Two birds two birds that fly together
They stay stay stay forever
Two birds two birds that fly together
They stay stay stay Lovers
