Let Me Go

Stone cold sober
So glad it’s over
End of story
Road clear before me

There’s no deceit again
I’m on my feet again
Repeat again
The song I sing’s a simple one
Leave me alone

Let me go
Please don’t break my heart again, oh no
Let me go
Please let me go

Tossed, torn and tumbled
This dream has crumbled
Beg, steal or borrow
I’ll take tomorrow

I’m on my own again
I won’t be thrown again
Disowned again
The hurricane left me alive
Sure I’ll survive

Let me go
Please don’t break my heart again, oh no
Let me go
Please let me go

God Walks With Us

God walks with us
Guides us through the empty spaces
When we go blind, we walk behind, He watches over us

God walks with us
Leads us from the evil places
No we don’t mind, don’t look behind, He doesn’t mind at all…

God walks with us

God walks with us
Leads us from the evil places
No we don’t mind, don’t look behind, He doesn’t mind

Walk with me please
Let me see where your heart’s coming from
So let me see
Is this for real
Or let it be?

Just think about what He would say
About this world today
Just think what He would say
About this world today

God walks with us
Guides us from the evil places
When we go blind, we walk behind,
He watches over us

I Stand Alone

This is our destiny
There’s no eternity
I need security
You turn your back on me

I gave my life to you
So what a thing to do
Just how can you pursue
A life with yourself

And when you see the end
On what can you depend?
There’s nothing left that you

You can lean on
When you did that to me
It felt like purgatory
Oh! What a place to be
Devil or deep blue…

You, you had the time of your life
Me, I stand alone
You, you had the time of your life
Me, I stand alone

What was your fantasy?
It’s just too plain to see
That same old imagery
Is fading away

There’s nothing more to do
Whatever happened to?
All the things we planned
When we walked hand in hand?

And when you see the end
On what can you depend?
There’s nothing left that you
You can lean on

When you did that to me
It felt like purgatory
Oh! What a place to be
Devil or deep blue…

You, you had the time of your life
Me, I stand alone
You, you had the time of your life
Me, I stand alone

This is our destiny
There’s no eternity
I need security
You turn your back on me

I gave my life to you
So what a thing to do
Just how can you pursue
A life with yourself

And when you see the end
On what can you depend?
There’s nothing left that you
You can lean on
When you did that to me
It felt like purgatory
Oh! What a place to be
Devil or deep blue…

You, you had the time of your life
Me, I stand alone
You, you had the time of your life
Me, I stand alone

Meet Me At Midnight

Oh my love
Meet me at midnight
I’ll be waiting here in the moonlight

Please my dove
Now in the starlight
Bright is the moment you come to me

Because what can I do?
The only one is you
All the other girls
Don’t have a clue

So what can I do?
The only one is you
Meet me here at midnight
My love

Melting away
Like another day
You hold my heart in your hand

Because what can I do?
The only one is you
All the other girls
Don’t have a clue

So what can I do?
The only one is you
Meet me here at midnight
My love

Hey Josephine

Hey there, beautiful
Picture in a magazine
It’s you, Josephine
I wondered where you’d been

And I think about those diamonds in your eyes
Do they shine for real, or are they lies?

One look, angel face
One time, another place
What time cannot erase
You’re gone without a trace

And I think about those diamonds in your eyes
Do they shine for real, or are they lies?

Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d come with me?
Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d come with me?Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d come with me?
Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d die for me?

Hey there, Josephine
With those eyes of blue
I never thought in my life
I’d be sharing you

Still I think about those diamonds in your eyes
Do they shine for real, or are they lies?

Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d come with me?
Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d come with me?
Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d come with me?
Hey Josephine
What did you mean
When you said you’d die for me?

Far Away

Don’t cry for me
My love for you is clear to see
Not all the while
But yes I do remember smiles

There were times of pain
And they will come again

Far away, far far away
So far away
Far enough to breathe
When the air is clear
Here where I hide away
For one more day
So far away

And when I’m gone
You know your life has just begun
This much is true
You know that I’ll be there with you

There will be times of joy
For such a golden boy

Far away, far far away
So far away
Far enough to breathe
When the air is clear
Here where I hide away
For one more day
So far away

Please Change Your Mind

Right now
I’m sitting here
Blinded by this situation
Trying to find a way

Cut down
I’m moving out
As you plan your celebration
I live it day by day

The clouds are rolling in
The mountains towering over me
I’ve got to get away
Got to find myself another day
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late

Please change your mind
And think of what you say
Please change your mind
Give me one more day
Please change your mind
Or just walk away

This town
Is killing me
Drains the very life from me
Just want to sail away

Long nights
They ran their course
Never to return again
Or so, they say

But words don’t mean that much to me
Nor memories of what used to be
I’ve got to draw the line
Got to move on to some other time
Not even if you cried
Not even if you cried

Please change your mind
And think of what you say
Please change your mind
Give me one more day
Please change your mind
Or just walk away

Sleep Angel

Sleep, just close your eyes
And visualize
A new morning before us

Keep, this dream alive
And realize
The day dawning before us

Sleep angel
Close to me
Keep this angel
Close to me

Oh, angel devine
Angel of mine
My love, my one and only

Sleep angel
Close to me
Keep this angel
Close to me

And the time will come
When nothing can hurt us
We will win
Till faith will desert us

Sleep angel
Close to me
Keep this angel
Close to me

Sleep, just close your eyes
And visualize
A new morning before us

Sleep angel
Close to me
Keep this angel
Close to me

And the time will come
When nothing can hurt us
We will win
Till faith will desert us

Sleep angel
Close to me
Keep this angel
Close to me

Spread Your Wings

No need to hang your head
For all the things you said
This place will never be your home, again

So leave now, take your pride
Your thoughts will stay inside
And live to fight another day

Spread your wings
And fly into the sky
Spread your wings
And fly into the sky

When you threw me away
It was like a ricochet
But I was never aiming at your heart

And in the afterlife
You’ll find a better life
No more dancing in the fire

You’ll find a better day
Than you had yesterday
Spread your wings and fly away

Cuts deeper than a knife
Leaving me, you’re still alive
Spread your wings and fly away

In The End

Start on your journey now
While the world is beckoning
And strangers call your name
Take what your dreams allow
Every day’s awakening
Is kindling to the flame
All our memories may serve

You as friends
Time is no enemy
‘Cause I will be waiting

And in the end
You will find me here again
If I’m the one you’re needing
Just send a sign

If you’re alone
In my heart you’ll find a home
Where all your roads are leading
Where you belong
In the end

Rest, when the tale is told
And beyond imagining
We’ll share the life within
Sleep when the fires are cold
And the night is gathering
That prize you could not win
All our memories return in a song
Time’s no enemy as long as
You hear me

And in the end…
