Heart Of Darkness
Doing fine now, I’m feeling better
Must admit that I was riding for a fall
Can’t explain how, I’m not a quitter
Still it seems sometimes I have no luck at all
Ain’t it funny how time can change things
Now I know it was worth all the waiting
In the heart of darkness there’s a golden light
Like a silent witness, it’s burning bright
In the depth of sadness, in the dead of night
In the heart of darkness, there’s a golden light
In my lifetime, there’s been trouble
When I was young I knew that things were gonna change
Now it’s my time, those days are gone forever
I can realize there’s only me to blame
Ain’t it funny how time can change things
Now I know it was worth all the waiting
In the heart of darkness there’s a golden light
Like a silent witness, it’s burning bright
In the depth of sadness, in the dead of night
In the heart of darkness, there’s a golden light
Say It Ain’t So
I realized all the things that I’d taken for granted
Peace, there in your eyes, was everything I ever wanted my life to be
I’ve seen all the signs, I’d better believe what they’re saying
Read every line, of your letter, I tell you I’m praying
Say it’s not true, no, it couldn’t be so
But the look in your eye’s telling me otherwise
I stand tall, ready to fall
Somehow I know that I’m throwing it all away
Say it ain’t so, say we can turn back the clock for one day
Say it ain’t so, what I’m hearing now, darling, I don’t wanna know, Oh no
Say it ain’t so, far away that these memories lose all their meaning
I wanna know, that you’ll stay, ‘cause part of me won’t stop believing
What can I do? Oh I can’t let you go, please won’t you see what you’re doing to me?
If it’s true, well, let me hear it from you
How can I life when I’m giving it all away
Say it ain’t so, tell me it’s all in my mind, I’ve been dreaming
Say it ain’t so, I can’t help what I’m feeling, I gotta know
Say it ain’t so, I promise whatever you want, I’ll be waiting
I can take all the pain but I can’t let you go, oh no…
I’ll make it up to you
If I can find a way
Tell me what I have to do
I’m begging you to stay
Say it ain’t so, I can’t help what I’m feeling, I gotta know
Say it ain’t so, say we can turn back the clock for one day
I can take all the pain but I can’t let you go, oh no….
I realized, all the things that I’d taken for granted
Peace, in your eyes, was everything I ever wanted
Say it ain’t so….
No Ordinary Miracle
Here I stand, not so different from the rest
A common man, with an uncommon dream inside
I won’t be satisfied, with the fortunes I’ve been blessed
For there’s one thing I’ve been denied
Till you arrived, now I’m trying not to break
This spell I’m under
If the heavens would calm the seas, and a hush fell on every horizon
I would not be amazed, not for one moment
For ‘though we are past the age of miracles
Maybe this one’s overdue
‘Cause I’ve been sent no ordinary miracle
This miracle is you
Here we are, as we face another day, and come what may
We must stand and be counted
As one must hope and pray, for the courage and the strength
That I never doubted, oh it’s my belief
That a single prayer has the power of thunder
If the heavens would calm the seas, and a hush fell on every horizon
I would not be amazed, not for one moment
For ‘though we are past the age of miracles
Maybe this one’s overdue
‘Cause I’ve been sent no ordinary miracle
This miracle is you
In a lifetime of chains, it’s never too late
In patience we wait for a gift from the blue
To carry us through, to carry us through…
If the heavens would part the seas so that all hands could reach to each other
I would not be amazed, not for one moment
For ‘though we are past the age of miracles, maybe this one’s overdue
‘Cause I’ve been sent no ordinary miracle
This miracle is you
For ‘though we are past the age of miracles, maybe this one’s overdue
‘Cause I’ve been sent no ordinary miracle
This miracle…is you
Where Do We Go From Here?
A stolen glance, a shared romance
We should have said goodbye
Instead we found a secret love, that no-one knows
Just you and I
So we held on for so long, no need to question why
Now I fight back the feeling
I can’t resist, I can’t give in, but to carry on would be a sin, tell me
Where do we go from here?
Where do we turn now that everything has changed
The colours are fading that once were so clear, so
Where do we go, where do we go from here?
I walk in the shadows, stand in the rain
You run to our rendez-vous, I ask myself
Will I see the same girl I used to, or a stranger to me?
The sweet taste of danger
The same charade in a cheap hotel, or is it love?
I just can’t tell, so
Where do we go from here?
Where do we turn now that everything has changed
The colours are fading that once were so clear, so
Where do we go, where do we go from here?
Another Twist Of The Knife
When the night rolls in, black as sin
I don’t need reminding ‘bout the shape I’m in
Well I hate to lose, but I know I can’t win with you
Yeah, the laugh’s on me but enough is enough
My cover’s blown over, and I ain’t that tough
It’s the same old joke, and it’s getting real old
Your alibis, baby, are leaving me cold…
You and me, our worlds collide
All that’s left is pain and pride
Every day you ain’t in my life, all I feel inside is…
Another twist of the knife
Here it comes again
Another twist of the knifeI’m living in pain
Another twist of the knife
Well, my life with you is a one way street
In a town made of ice, where there ain’t no heat
It’s a crying shame, but I get no love from you
When the highway’s closed and the gates are shut
Your heart is a place that I just can’t touch
One last thing ‘fore you walk away
Turn out the lights on memory lane…
Go on, cut me until I bleed
Show me just what you feel for me
I got no more to lose
So do what you gotta do…
Silently
Words can’t explain
What you mean to me now
Now what can remain?
All we have lost in pain, and love has won again
When we opened our hearts
What were we fighting for?
I can’t remember
I think we’ve said enough
Let’s stay together
Silently, in serenity, let it be, and come to me silently
This is what IWant it to be
And know that you
Longed for it too
But we both were afraid
What were we fighting for?
I can’t remember
I think we’ve said enough
Let’s stay together
Silently, in serenity, let it be, and come to me silently
But in the end it will depend on you and me…
Before Your Eyes
Yesterday you thought the flame has flickered again
A feeling from the past you’d recognize
But maybe tomorrow morning I won’t be there
Cos if you’re looking for the answer, then it’s
Right before your eyes
Look into the mirror, who is it you see?
The face of someone now as cold as ice
The anger in your mind turns now toward regret
If you’re looking for the answer
Then it’s right before your eyes
When your bed is empty
And you’re thinking of me
Your mind will dwell on all your sacrifice
For surely tomorrow morning, I won’t be there
And if you’re looking for the answer, then it’s
Right before your eyes
Second Best
When you called me, and you told me that you needed someone
I was hoping that that someone was me
Here you are and now I know that I’ve been fooling myself
If you love someone else
Don’t come running to me for help, ‘cause
I don’t wanna know how he broke your heart, ‘n’
I don’t wanna know how you cried
I won’t stand in his shoes, I won’t play the part, not like the rest, no
I’m never gonna be your second best
I remember when you left me all the reasons you gave
Why his love would be much stronger than mine
You believed his promises, but all that glitters ain’t gold
Won’t fall for it again
Using me to get back at him, so
I don’t wanna know how he broke your heart, ‘n’
I don’t wanna know how you cried
I won’t stand in his shoes, I won’t play the part, not like the rest, no
I’m never gonna be your second best
Oh it hurts, for you, girl
It’s the end of your world
What about me? When you left
How’s it feel to be second best?
Real World
Is it just an illusion, that I’m losing it, it didn’t happen yesterday
Is it only confusion, that I’m using amusing
myself from day to day
Tell the truth, have we gone too far?
Losing sight of what we did and who we are
‘Cause it’s the real world that we’re living in
And with human kind I feel I don’t fit in
Sometimes it just frightens me to think of where I’ve been
And the many times I felt like giving in
But the real world is the right place to begin
Love Is
You come here looking for asylum, from a world that doesn’t understand
I’m not an easy touch, I’ve lived too long and seen too much,
and not about to fall at your command
I’ve been a fool for your affection
And part of me would love to take you in
Your innocence has caught me, but a thousand nights have taught me that…
Love is…more than a fire
Love goes…beyond desire
Love stands…when everything falls apart
I don’t think that you know what…Love Is
Love Is, Love Is, God knows, there’s gotta be so much more
Say it again when you know what Love Is
I could take advantage of the situation
Say I’ll make your every wish come true
You in your world of dreams, where money talks and beauty screams
You got the whole scenario in view
And so you look in my direction
You’re bringing me another broken heart
Your ego may be dented, but as much as I am tempted…
You know there was a time, if you had come my way
I would have welcomed you with open arms
Begging you to stay, but maybe not today, no way…
Space And Time
Just a face, I saw for a moment
Flashing eyes, inscribed on my soul
I reach to you, through another dimension
So if you feel a shiver, you'll know
I can see you clearer and clearer
Through the mist like a beacon's light
You reflect in a distant mirror
Moving through space and time tonight
I am calling you, can you hear me?
All alone on a midnight flight
Is it foolish to think that feelings flow
Through space and time tonight?
It chills the air, like the feeling of danger
A presence felt, an ethereal light
A silhouette, the scent of a stranger
I know it's you, with me tonight
I can see you clearer and clearer
Concentrate with all your might
You reflect in a distant mirror
Altering space and time tonight
I am calling you, can you reach me?
All alone on a midnight flight
Is it foolish to think that feelings flow
Through space and time tonight?
I am thinking about you right now
I'll arrive with the morning light
It's a message I rush to you, alone
Through space and time tonight
Tell me do you believe in what can't be explained?
What our reason will not allow
Moving out of this world, passing through space and time
To a love that is here and now…
