London's Burning
03:35
|
|||
|
The walls have crumbled without a sound,
And in the ruins I will be found,
No show of protest, or thoughts of rage,
No final curtain to hide the stage,
I don’t want to be in love anymore,
I just want to watch the sun,
I don’t want to feel this hurt anymore,
When losing you has just begun.
London’s burning, London’s burning,
London’s burning, London’s burning,
It isn’t any wonder why I feel the way I feel,
It isn’t any wonder that the fire keeps burning
I’m drowning in the thunder,
My thoughts as cold as steel,
I’m living and learning, yearning and burning.
London’s burning, London’s burning,
London’s burning, London’s burning,

Lesson In Love
04:00
|
|||
|
The rain beats down, starts the summer,
A bleeding heart that’s found no other,
I miss you now, I miss you more each day.
A time for crying, there’s a time for healing,
I have to wait from the way I’m feeling,
Can’t stop the rain, can’t stop believing in you.
The higher you climb, the further you go,
The deeper the thought, the warmer the glow,
But not for me, it gets colder than cold.
It’s a lesson in love.
Another night upon reflection,
The fire burns, but there’s no redemption,
Call me a fool without intention, am I.
By candlelight the rain grows stronger,
Yet now I feel I don’t belong here.
I’m broken inside, my only answer is you.
This is a chance worth taking,
Because I know we’re worth saving,
The nights are so lonely now,
It’s only now I know.
The higher you climb, the further you go,
The deeper the thought, the warmer the glow,
But not for me, it gets colder than cold.

Taxi Cab
03:37
|
|||
|
You wake up in the morning,
You look upon a brand new day,
And when you finish yawning,
You look upon a brand new day,
The clothes you wear are purple,
Outside your room the sky is grey,
You wake up in the morning,
You haven’t got a word to say.
You step out of the shadows,
You step into a taxi cab,
You speak your destination,
The driver slowly turns his head,
Outside the clouds are churning,
You haven’t heard a word he’s said,
Familiar situation, riding in a taxi cab.
You head into the city,
The avenue’s already blocked,
The faces of frustration,
Encircle you from every point,
The sky begins to thunder,
The weather brings it’s own reward,
Another Monday morning, sitting in a taxi cab.

Love Is The Colour
04:53
|
|||
|
Nobody ever knew her name,
But she had a sadness just the same,
Whispers that haunt the darkness,
Shadows that beckon to us,
Images slowly drift away.
If love is the colour, then it’s raining
If love is the colour, then it’s fading,
If love is the colour,
Then I’m wasting away.
I couldn’t begin to understand,
She came like a ghost into this land,
And she spent a moment with me,
A spirit that only I’d see,
But she was as real as you my friend.
I can almost hear her now,
Through the wind and through the clouds,
Don’t go lady, don’t go, stay here.

Hand's On The Gun
03:55
|
|||
|
I’m taking a trip to the ocean,
I’m heading back to the water’s edge,
I’m trying to feel my emotion,
I’m trying to find what’s inside my head,
Where do you go, when you’re on your own,
What do you do when you just get heavy?
How do you sleep when you’re all alone,
Where do you go when your hand’s on the gun?
I’m lying on sheets made of satin,
Through windows of change the rain keeps flowing,
The lines on the wall make a pattern,
A room with a view, but what’s it showing?
You and me living free, far from all this madness,
Who would know if we go just before the dawn begins....

All Other People
03:54
|
|||
|
Smoke filled rooms and burgundy,
In restaurants and in other places,
Streets of clay that turn to gray,
As dusk begins to fall.
Helicopter landing pads,
And buses full of mixed emotion,
Night becomes the day,
Becomes the wintertime once more.
All other people,
Don’t they share the world you live in?
All other people,
Don’t they have their dreams?
Movie houses, hotel lobbies,
Headlights flashing through the hours,
Silhouettes of people
That you’ll never come to know,
In between the years of growing,
Never knowing your tomorrow,
As the sun begins to fade
Above the sheltered sky.
All other people,
Don’t they share the world you live in?
All other people,
Don’t they have their dreams?
Television, crowded prisons,
Politicians, indecision,
Silence is the only sound
When new year’s day arrives.
Snow is falling, children calling,
It’s another Sunday morning,
Hear the echo through the dawn,
There’s daylight once again.
All other people,
Don’t they share the world you live in?
All other people,
Don’t they have their dreams?

Wish It Would End
04:21
|
|||
|
I’m walking down a one way street,
My back’s against the sun,
The shadow falls in front of me,
And the loneliness has just begun,
But I know that you can make it all seem right,
I’m asking for that chance,
I’m thinking about you day and night.
I wish it would end, would end, would end,
I wish you would call, would call, would call,
I wish I could hold you once again, and never let you go,
So many times I should have said
The words I feel today,
It’s easy when you’re looking back,
To see just how you came this way,
Now I know, I want to tell you everything,
I need to try again,
I need for you to understand.
I wish it would end, would end, would end,
I wish you would call, would call, would call,
I wish I could show you how I’ve changed,
I realize that I, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong........
Wish it would end.

Run
03:46
|
|||
|
I don’t want to play guessing games,
I don’t want to look in your eyes,
I don’t want to think of what to say,
I don’t want to be surprised.
I just want to live life, and love,
Now I need to find a way,
All I ever asked was peace of mind,
But that ain’t what I’ve got today.
Run from the city, run from the night,
Run till you break away.
It’s such a pity you’ve lived your life,
Running from yourself each day.
Sometimes when I dance late at night,
Outside when the moon is full,
I can hear them sing and laugh out loud,
Tell me can you hear them too?
It’s only when I dream I think of you,
You can steal my thoughts away,
There’s another place far from here,
I can almost see the way.
Why do you keep on rising,
Why don’t you ever change?
Why is it so surprising each day begins again.

The River Flows
05:17
|
|||
|
There’s a sign on the road up ahead by the river,
That’s my house on the hill where the sun never shines.
There’s a storm to the East and there’s clouds coming over,
And you’re losing your way as the light slowly dies.
I’ve a room for the night and I’ll put on a fire,
I can shelter you here till it’s safe to go on,
Conversation is more than I’ve had in a long time,
Loneliness is a place I have come to know well.
Search my eyes, see the cold,
I’ve lived my life the way the river flows,
Touch my heart, touch the stone,
I’ve seen love go the way the river flows.
I can show you your room, and I’ll put on some coffee,
Pay no heed to the pictures that hang on the wall.
Memories that I sometimes will choose to remember,
She was someone I knew from a long time ago.
Search my eyes, see the cold,
I’ve lived my life the way the river flows,
Touch my heart, touch the stone,
I’ve seen love go the way the river flows
I can take you another way out in the morning,
There’s a bridge to the West that will weather the storm.
And the lines are still up, if there’s someone needs calling,
There’s a phone in your room where you can be alone.
Search my eyes, see the cold,
I’ve lived my life the way the river flows,
Touch my heart, touch the stone,
I’ve seen love go the way the river flows

Ring Of Fire
04:39
|
|||
|
I cannot run, I cannot hide,
I cannot look beyond tonight,
There is a fear that waits within,
A fear that I must face again.
I look beyond it all for meaning,
I must convince myself somehow,
If I am strong I’ll think of winning,
If I am weak I won’t survive.
In this ring of fire,
And this circle of fear,
In this ring of fire,
And this circle of fear.
I dare not dream about tomorrow,
The future’s written in my hand,
Maybe in time I’ll understand it,
Maybe today will show me how.
I cannot run, I cannot hide....
In this ring of fire,
In this ring of fire.
