Tracks



01. Sunless Days

You move like fire
You dance like flame
Resurrecting my senses again
Never thought it would end like this
The same as the start of it all
Would someone stop me
My world is spinning
All I want is my day black and white
Can't you see that my heart is bleeding?
Give me reasons
We live in sunless days
No horizon through the storm
Your love I sailed upon
Like a wind to carry us
Starless night from the ashes came
In a daze felt the world was spinning
I never thought it would end like this
The same as the start of it all
All I know is my world is dreaming
All I want is my day black and white
On a sea full of tears I'm riding no horizon
You are so far away
Getting closer
We live in sunless days
No horizon through the storm
Your love I sailed upon
Like a wind to carry us
We live in starless nights
Upon an ocean full of tours
Searching for the day you will return

02. Little Girl

Mother never told you
That's all right
Don't you cry
Now the visions dance inside your head
What was said?
Go to bed
What have you done
Done to yourself?

What will you do
If I just leave you alone inside little girl?
No where to run
No where to hide except inside little girl

In the tapestries with faded clowns
All year 'round
Bringing you down
Trying to escape in your own ways
Not today
How can you see with your head in the clouds?

What will you do
If I just leave you alone inside little girl?
No where to run
No where to hide except inside little girl

You carry the weight of the world
No one expects you to bear that burden
If you can let it all go
Even the daze will seem so much brighter
Every night holds a surprise for you

03. Everybody Needs (To Be With Someone)

Let me tell my story
Listen up my friends
It shines in the beginning
We all know how it ends
You throw away your life
No rhyme or reason
You act as though it's you
The one that's bleeding

To me it seems so strange
Nothing's gonna change
I guess everybody
Needs to be with someone

Mother never told you there'd
Be days like this
Lost in your reflection
Brings you happiness
No one understands why you go on
Holdin' on to someone that's not right for you

To me it seems so strange
Nothing's gonna change
I guess everybody needs to be with someone

There's a place in your mind
You can run to and laugh out loud
And it's safe from the nights alone
And it makes you feel everything's
All right for you

I guess everybody needs to be with someone

04. You

Life as dreams
Streets of gold
You used to go there
Now you're draining down the bottle
Systems failing
Sirens wailing
It's no secret that you're headed for the farm child

It's time you're leaving
Take a break down to the shore
You used to love it where the Holy waters flow
Maybe you'll find your long lost message in a bottle
Sent long ago
To your self long ago
What are you looking for?

The line is long
You're too far out
No hidden meanings here
But I have to spell it out
Sleep in late
Or never wake
Missing such a good time
Thinking that you're never gonna throw it all away

They found your message on the other side of life
But they don't want you over
They don't wanna cry
Seems that you've gone too far caught up in your self
Better find your way out
It's not all about "YOU"

[BRIDGE]

Into the light of the sun
Now you're gone
Send me a word out of faith
You'll be home
Far away

You make believe before you go to sleep
That life is going your way
The things you need are superficial indeed
And leading you astray - far away

[Chorus]
Its time you're leaving take a breakdown to the shore
You used to love it when the Holy Waters flowed
Maybe you'll find your long lost message in a bottle
Sent long ago
Is it just all about you?

05. Goodbye My Friend

I tried to say, didn't love you, or need you
Tried to believe didn't want you too
Same old song, we try to hold on
Still in the end we try to move on

So goodbye my friend
It was good to get to see you again
If this is the end
Please don't try and make me love you again

Tried to believe had an answer too
Wasn't just me that believed in you
As I look back I see what you knew
It's better for me, it's better for you

So good bye my friend
It was good to get to see you again
If this is the end
Please don't try and make me love you again

I was wrong to carry on
Still in the end we try to move on

So goodbye my friend
It was good to get to see you again
If this is the end
Please don't try and make me love you again

If this is the end ..........

06. Magic Road

Ain't no reason I should stay
Something deep inside tells me I should keep a place
I know its hard for you to understand
If I let you go hope you understand

I know how you feel been down that magic road before
But it isn't real what are you lookin' for?

You gave no words to stop the pain
We sight a moment like a grain of sand
I know its hard for you to understand
So many reasons lost within a glance

I know how you feel been down that magic road before
But it isn't real what are you lookin' for?

I know how you feel been down that magic road before
But it isn't real what are you lookin' for?

07. There Was A Time

It was late like the storm
Finding it hard tried to carry on
Without fear or the shame
We could walk in park without being afraid

Was a time I believed
As the story unfolded so free
Now the passion is gone
All wrong
Down to the lake moonlit dawn

There was a time I believed
Time would heal everything
Was a time I believed
You were everything I need
They say that it's starting to show
Should have seen it long ago
There was a time I believed
You were everything I need

As a child
We believed
We could wake from the night and the dawn it seemed
Was so warm
So warm
Into His arms like a child I was born

Was a time I believed
Time would heal everything
Was a time I believed
You were everything I need

[Interlude]

You took me like the sage
Searching for some absolution
Hard to know the reason nobody cared
Once upon a time

Take me right away
Let me know there's still a season
Let me know there's still a reason to live
I'm running out of time

There was a time I believed
Time would heal everything
Was a time I believed
You were everything I need
They say that it's starting to show
Should have seen it long ago
There was a time I believed
You were everything I need

So now I'm taking a chase of Cavasier
With all of those words that we shouldn't have said
Walking the beach for the last time again
Missing you more than I should

08. Heart Full Of Soul

Sick at heart and lonely
Deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
Where is she? Tell me where
And if she says to you she don't love me
Just give her my message tell her of my plea
That I know if she'd have me back again
Well I would never make her sad
I got a heart full of soul
She's been gone such a long time
Longer than I can bear
But if she says she wants me
Tell her that I'll be there
And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea
And I know well if she'd have her back again
Well I would never make her sad
I got a heart full of soul

09. Under The Gun

So long baby bleed
Had more than enough time to burn it all
Down to the core
Of your bottomless soul
Thought you always wanted to be free

I won't miss you when you're gone
So hard to believe it went on for so long
But I'll carry on without you
Like before

You will have
Your day in the sun
Close your eyes it's gonna burn
Your day in the sun
Will you ever learn?

So long baby blue
Waited so long but you never came through
We dried all your tears
Thought you were the one I could believe in

I won't miss you when I'm gone
It's hard to believe this went on for so long

10. I've Found

The morning rose
You were always kind
Can't believe we've found each other
Waking for the rest of our lives
I believed I'd never find
Someone to believe in
But there you were

When I least expected it
When I'd almost given up
Lost my faith in love
There you were

Tried to hide my feelings still you know
So I guess it's time I finally let it show

I've found someone
Who believes that love's a battle that's been won
Seems a lifetime
Past by
Until I found a reason
Someone to believe in I've found

I thought despair
Was just part of life
But you showed me differently
Smiling full of life as you said
There'll be better days
Just like rain we can't complain
It's OK
There'll be better days

[Chorus]

You and I so different
Seems we're worlds apart
Patience brings us closer we're not far
