Surely
Only if I lied could I love you
Nothing of our lives
could we share
Only could we try to get by on a sigh
Just
because, just this once, I was there
It's A Long Road
Well
the road I see before me
Threatens pain at every bend,
yeah
Well my needs are mine, I understand
And hope to calling
friends
Well, good company, it may comfort me
But I don't want
love to distract my heart from the way
Now your love it gave
me sorrow
And a broken heart to mend, yeah
So I took me to this
lonely road
My sweet hopes, to defend
Oh and why pretend, I
won't look back
Even though the love of a happy man waits
before
Well, the winter wind blows chilly
And the road is
dark and gray
So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the
way
Oh, I'm left alone without a home
Makes a man ask why
he travels on
When hope is gone
It's a long road
It's a
long road
It's a long road
It's a long
road
Aubade - And I Am Not Like Other Birds Of Prey
Morning at last
Every night is a fight
till you're waking
Dreams dancing past
Through the silence of
sleep
Dawn is breaking
I wake and watch them till then
And I
am not like other birds of prey
And I am not like other birds of
prey
Oh, night is long, you won't needing me
For a dressed
up time I am there to see
That fear holds no sway
Soft is
my plan
And my eyes kill the lies that felt happy
Life is my
right
And in sleep's little bed
I'll protect you
So, hear,
let my presence dismay
That I am not like other birds of
prey
That I am not like other birds of prey
When hopes are
young and your cares are few
Then I'm sure above keeping truth in
you
And my name is love
Words Unspoken
Why sing a lonely
song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why loose a
heart that isn't broken?
It isn't broken, it can't be
broken
Life's just a show for free
Come along and watch
with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never
spoken
Sweet things come and go
Give me shame, I'll give
you wow
To live for love isn't so easy
It isn't easy, it won't
be easy!
How all good men try
Look around and wonder
why
Can they shape this world to please me
Can they please me,
should they please me?
I follow but maybe you'll correct
me
I wish you'd never met me
For I am your gentle man
I
follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a
sundown
And show you who I am
Send me a gentle dream
Of
love so strange it's never seen
And proof how such a love can
happen
It can happen, make it happen
Fine things tumble
down
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or
slacken
Never slacken, never slacken
I follow but maybe
you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
I am your gentle
man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a
sundown
And show you who I am
Maybe I'm A Beggar
I ain't
got too much money, I ain't got too much sense
Long ago I had a
dream but that's no recompense
My father was a blind man, my
brother was a fool
My mother told me 'God is love'
But hatred
makes the rules
Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet in
the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my
hand
World, don't you tell me
I cannot last
forever
Before you know I'll come and go
And make you if I
can
Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy
They throw
away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me
Can we be
free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see,
that a man must face life all alone?
Maybe I'm a beggar, just
check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
and keep
their pain for me
Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet
in the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my
hand
Can we be free, in a world where to love is to
own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all
alone?
Home Again
Many is the time that a dream has gone
wrong
When you're with me
Many is the time when the blame went
to you
Please forgive me
But the truth is my friend
That
the world isn't quite as I thought it to be
Oh no, I wish I were
back home again
Oh no, I wish I were back home again
Oh no, I
wish I were back home again
La la la , I wish I were back home
again
Nothing To Show
Nothing to show beyond the fear I
had
Body so warm within this perfumed bed
Sleeping alone, the
shadow of a man
He will entice you too, and if he can
Nothing
to show for love that's never been
Nothing to show for love that's
never been
Nothing to show for love that's never
been
Nothing is handed, power is changing fast
Many the
empty hopes his lips caress
Sorry to say his days are spent in
vain
Chasing a dream of doom of nights in pain
Nothing to show
for love that's never been
Nothing to show for love that's never
been
Nothing to show for love that's never been
Shadowy
nights of memories of the grave
Gentle my love and sweetness
sometimes sick
Keep up his time while his crimes are known
Only
a fool can see he's sold his love
Nothing to show for love that's
never been
Nothing to show for love that's never been
Nothing
to show for love that's never been
Nothing to show for love
that's never been
Nothing to show for love that's never
been
Nothing to show for love that's never been
Shadow Song
Did your shadow ever speak to you?
And did he say that
something's wrong?
Only a figure on a lamplit wall
Never
realized he cared at all
Did he stop you going on?
Guess my
shadow spoke to me tonight
And made me throw my dreams
away
Told a story of a twisted man
Who was playing with some
foolish plan
'Bout a girl who had flown away
Sometimes
shadows are near
I see things very clear, my life
unwinds
Somewhere I'll make my stand
Look around at
yesterday
And change my mind
Now your shadow isn't always
there
In the light of cloudy days
Or in circles where you hide
from view
All the dust that ever bothered you
And where people
loose your name
Try Again
Later that evening, only a
feeling
But it was there in the air that we share in the
twilight
Humming a sad song, where was our day gone
But in the
dark was a spark, a remark I remember
'Try again', she replied to
some story I told
'Try again', yes I will if I can
Oh, all I
need is somebody to hold
Learning a feeling, seeking a
meaning
Finding a way, should she stay, how to say let's
imagine
Maybe I'll go wrong, an evening that last long
But in
the night all the light must be right for this moment
'Try again',
she replied to some story I told
'Try again', yes I will if I
can
Oh, all I need is somebody to hold
'Try again', she
replied to some story I told
'Try again', yes I will if I
can
Oh, all I need is somebody to hold
'Try again', she
replied to some story I told
'Try again', yes I will if I
can
Oh, all I need is somebody to hold
Surely
Surely there's a way I could please you.
Only in your past lie the tears.
Surely there's a day you can say went your way.
Some illusion you can keep through the years.
Only if I lied could I love you.
Nothing of our lives could we share.
Only could we try to get by on a sigh.
Just because, just this once, I was there.
