01. One Good Reason

Take me out of here
This place is getting much too small
Make me disappear
Vanish through the nearest wall

Give me one good reason why i should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why i should stay with you
With you

Take me out of here
This place is closing in on me
Make it disappear
Somewhere else i wanna be

Give me one good reason why i should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why i should stay with you
With you

Give me one good reason why i should stay
Give me one good reason to go on this way
Give me one good reason why i should stay with you
With you
With you

Take me out of here

02. Cold Wind Blows

Sun don't shine round here no more
Since my baby walked on out that door
She broke my heart , make no mistake
All i did was give
All she did was take
But don't you know , where she goes
The cold wind blows

Well my baby told so many lies
I couldn't see through my blinded eyes
She choked me up with her bad , bad seed
Took the flowers i gave her and strangled them with weeds
But don't you know, where she goes
The cold wind blows

I ain't gonna cry no more
I ain't gonna cry no more
I ain't gonna cry no more
Cry no more

Sun don't shine round here no more
Since my baby walked on out that door
She broke my heart , make no mistake
All i did was give
All she did was take
But don't you know , where she goes
The cold wind blows
The cold wind blows

I ain't gonna cry no more
I ain't gonna cry no more
I ain't gonna cry no more
I ain't gonna cry no more
Cry no more
Cry no more
Yeah , cry no more
Yeah , cry no more

03. I Have Found My Love In You

I can still remember
Like it was yesterday
The pain inside my heart
As you turned to walk away

I don't know, I don't care
What the people say
I don't know, I don't care
I love you anyway

For I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true

I can still remember
Like it was just the other day
I could have done without those stories
While you're so far away

I don't know, I don't care
What my friends all say
I don't know, I don't care
I love you anyway

For I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true

Ooh that first sweet night together
I will remember it forever
I put my heart on the line
Though I knew I was wrong, I would keep holding on

Do you still remember
All those times ago
When you lay like a flame in my arms
And I could never let you go

For I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true
Yes, I have found my love in you
And I have found a love so true

04. One Fine Day

One of these days we'll be together
One of these days we'll be as one
Love and illumination
All across every nation

One fine day, we will walk in the sunshine
One fine day, we will reach to the stars

One of these days we'll be together
One of these days we'll be as one
Love and illumination
All across every nation

One fine day, we will walk in the sunshine
One fine day, we will reach to the stars

Even as we speak, time marches on
Even as we speak, the devil's plan goes on

One fine day we'll be together
One fine day we'll be as one
One fine day
One fine day

05. Like Angels

In every heart a story is told.
There's a way you can believe in forever.
In every life the story unfolds,
Like a mystery for you to see
And tear away the mask.

Hold on to your dreams,
Learn how to fly like angels.
Hold on to your dreams,
Soaring above, wings of love.

In every tear a lesson to learn.
There's a way you can believe in forever.
Time never hears the reasons we give.
It just marches on until it's gone,
Forever and a day.

Hold on to your dreams,
Learn how to fly like angels.
Hold on to your dreams,
Soaring above, wings of love.

Hold on to your dreams,
Learn how to fly like angels.
Hold on to your dreams,
Soaring above, wings of love.

Hold on to your dreams,
Learn how to fly like angels.
Soaring high above,
Wings made from love.

06. What Are We Here For

Searching for the answers,
Looking for the meaning of our different ways.
Try to understand it,
All of our misgivings is the price we pay.

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
Or must we stay until we get it right?

Travelling through the darkness,
Guided by the light that shines on everyone.
Each of us an island,
Moving through the universe since time began.

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
Or must we stay until we get it right?

So many of our dreams are telling us just who we are,
Where we're from and how we came so far.
If we would only listen to the things within we know are true,
Then all of us would see a brighter day.

Searching for the answers,
Hidden in the meaning of our different ways.
Try to understand it,
All of our misgivings is the price we pay.

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
Or must we stay until we get it right?
Or must we stay until we get it right?

07. Always There For You

The rhythm of our lives is changing day by day.
It seems no matter what I do or what I say,
That I'm always there for you,
But you're never here for me.

So many times you take me halfway to my dreams,
But then you close the door, and every time it seems
That I'm always there for you,
But you're never here for me.
Yes, I'm always there for you,
But you're never here for me.

The rhythm of our lives is changing day by day.
It seems no matter what I do or what I say,
That I'm always there for you,
But you're never here for me.
Yes, I'm always there for you.

I am always there for you,
But you're never here for me.
Yes, I'm always there for you,
But you're never here for me.

I'm always there for you.
I'm always there for you.
I'm always there for you.
I'm always there for you.

08. Afraid Of Tomorrow

All of our destinies
Written within us.
No more of falling for
The world's biggest lie.
Are you so jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now.
Live in your dreams.

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Crossing the wilderness,
Finding the treasure.
Buried within yourself
All you desire.
Soul of the world can see
All you are feeling.
Heeding the wise man's words,
All things are one.

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Mmah, ah.

All of our destinies
Written within us.
No more of falling for
The world's biggest lie.
Are you still jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now,
So live in your dreams.

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Afraid of tomorrow.
Afraid of tomorrow.

Oh, afraid.
Oh, oh afraid.
Oh, afraid.

09. Where Did We Go Wrong

Ever since it all began,
A woman and an only man.
What happened to the world in which we're living?
We take, when all this time we could be giving.
And I ask myself each day,
where did we go wrong?
And I wonder when I pray,
Where did we go wrong?

Ever since it all began,
One woman and a lonely man.
I worry for the world in which we're living.
We take, when all this time we could be giving.
And I ask myself each day,
Where did we go wrong?
And I wonder when I pray,
Where did we go wrong?

With every turn our world is growing older.
But does it mean our hearts are turning colder?
With every teardrop falls a shining star.
It seems so wrong, but now we've come so far.

After all is said and done,
I know I'm not the only one
Who worries for this world in which we're living,
Who cares about the love we should be giving.
And I ask myself each day,
Where did we go wrong?
And I wonder when I pray,
Where did we go wrong?

10. Business As Usual

The pink crucifix with the ivory Jesus I wanted
The man with the blood on his hands as I ran from the river
Kissing my cousin, before they took her to the graveyard
Trembling at night from the violence I heard from my bedroom

These are my memories
These are my memories, coming home

Called up at school 'cause my hand wasn't there to say "present"
Running the gauntlet outside the Club Rado at dawn
Rory and me without a spare string between us
Catching the last bus halfway through "I'm so glad"

These are my memories
These are my memories, coming home

Philip and me and "the brush" riding round in a transit
The Bailey, the Strangley's, the smoke and the speed and the acid
I lost my virginity to a Tipperary woman
A heart that was broken, but it wasn't the first or the last time

These are my memories
These are my memories, coming home

Under the wings of the man they called Green, I found freedom
Three children, one wife, a twist of the knife and a scandal
Divorce, separation, some kind of salvation came lately
So many have gone, but I know it's just business as usual

These are my memories
These are my memories
These are my memories
These are my memories
These are my memories
These are my memories, coming home

These memories keep coming back
These memories keep coming back
All those years ago
All those years ago

11. Dark Days in Paradise

I should be feelin' so happy
To wake up each day in the sun.
But I can't seem to raise a smile
Since this days begun.
'Cos when you're feelin' so lonely,
There's just one thing you need.
Dark days in paradise,
Dark days indeed.

I followed her to the airport,
I got down on my knees.
But she just stood there smiling,
Ignoring all my please.
Then she left me so lonely,
It made my poor heart bleed.
Dark days in paradise,
Dark days indeed.

I tried drinkin' that white rum,
I tried some black stuff too.
But it don't make no difference
When I'm so far from you.
'Cos when you're feeling so lonely,
There's just one thing you need.
Dark days in paradise,
Dark days indeed.

Dark days in paradise,
Dark days indeed.
Dark days indeed.
Dark days indeed.
