SKIN:

Searching for a way out

of so much pain

sometimes to hurt is better than nothing

Let's live again

I'm a public face with a private life

You wanna get close enough to touch

Weave your lies 'cos I can't hide

Never touch my soul, I need that much

Chorus:

Is my skin just a veil I'm wearing

Protect me from the world

(repeat)

So with this armour to cover me

From tortured skies

I'll burn the body - breathe poisoned wine

Only laughter and forgetting

keeps my mind from the devil inside

Like a circle there is no resolve

A little peace is better than none

Chorus

Immortal

The colour of night is bound to find you

When last we breathe the temple starts to crumble

It's only dirt and dust

Chorus to fade

*******************************************

IT CAN'T BE FOREVER:

There's always people talking one time

Talk for years and years

Say well "we'll take a chance" and in time

They're looking back

It's disappeared

Take it now

Listen to your heart

Won't be staying over

Wake up and it's gone

Listen to your heart

Hold your head up high and have no fear of being wrong

Chorus:

It can't be, it can't be forever

Till it's too late

It can't be, it can't be forever

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait

No falling under the spell of here today

tomorrow will do just as well

it's so easy to believe in the power of others

they come and go

And in the strange half light they seem to know some

but who can tell

So be brave

walk into the fire, no one else can guide you

No one else can make you strong

walk into the fire, hold your head up higher

and have no fear of being wrong

Chorus

And all this time we believe in a dream

and when will it come?  Never!

Chorus

************************************

DROWNING IN YOUR EYES:

Feel the ground it's slipping away
Like a sigh that greets the close of day
Feel the waters' welcoming arms
Embrace me in the quiet calm

I can't hear what you say anymore
Just the sound of trees on the ocean floor
Irresistibly drawn from the shore

Chorus:
I'm drowning in your eyes
I'm floating out to sea
Helpless on the restless tide
That flows between you and me

Moving slowly as if in a dream
The colours change from blue to green
All around me reflections of you
In forests deep I'm passing through

In the swell of the storm we're as one
We're dancing in the morning sun
Could it be that we've only just begun

Chorus x 2

Lying here beside you
Try to reach you but you're so far....

Chorus x 2

I'm drowning in your eyes
I'm drowning in your eyes
I'm drowning in your eyes

************************************

MORTAL SEED:

Shadows sleep coiled in the hand

Cast from distant fires

Tired eyes so dry

So full of sand

Just remember that you won't take it

You won't take anymore

Please don't take it

Turn around and reach out to the shore

Chorus:

From this mortal seed

turning deep inside

there's a wound which cannot bleed

for the pleasures we have been denied

All you want to be only we can decide

Try to get ahead, but standing

Like a statue on the edge

You talk about a new direction

But the words fly out and disappear

High windows shine, the light seems like a sign

But there's a crowd down there laughing

But don't seem to hear

Oh it's the same today, always just the same as before

Can't be the same today, step out don't be afraid

You've got the right, got the right for more

Chorus to end

**************************************

WORLD BETWEEN US:

If you think there's nothing left

better turn around

Like a fool you're giving up

You say there's nowhere else to go

Over and over our lives will be changing direction

Time after time if you look around you will find

That there's always something new

Chorus:

'Cos there's a world of loving still between us

A place that only we would know

There's a dream we share that's never ending

Don't you let that feeling go

Must you always run away

from things you can't control

If you leave me here today

then I won't come looking for you

Sooner or later you'll find that I answer your question

Tear down the walls of your heart - come with me

And we'll travel into blue

Chorus

Don't give in to hurting

don't give in to fear

like a coward, with a kiss

you kill the thing that you hold dear

Love is in the heart, love is in the heart

Won't you please stop running baby

So we can make a start

Chorus

*************************************

CAPTURED:

Easier said than done

Friends would tell me "the best is yet to come"

Shackled slave to my obsession

Would I dare confess to you?

Fantasies still haunt me

a dream of ... how our passion would be set free

Stolen days we shared

I never knew you cared

quite like you said you did

You captured my heart

How many times would I need to say

Over and over in darker shades of grey

Shackled slave to my obsession

Would I dare confess to you?

How do you still haunt me?

After all our passion we've been set free

Stolen days we shared

I never knew you cared

quite like you said you did

You captured my heart

You dazzled me blind

Oh we're sailing high

A lonely love to find

You captured my heart

Well you said you want to stay with me forever

Baby, I read the lines upon your face (oh, pretty baby)

If you want to stop by me

Any time you want to call me I'll be there

You captured my heart

***********************************

SUMMER LIGHTNING:

When the rain comes falling

through wide and open sky

Up above the city streets

Cold days and clouds that pass by

Oh but the air seems to blue here below

Golden oceans make believe

All the times they caught the moon's glow

I wonder if it's worth it

I wonder if this time - they'll understand

I hold summer lightning here in my hands

Who in heaven makes you realize

cold is the sea of your God

only in my dreams have I any means

solutions

so won't you come and take me back

or let me out on the right track

I wonder if it's worth it

I wonder if this time - they'll understand

I hold summer lightning here in my hands

And when the rain is over

see the sky and it's falling on me

somewhere deep inside

I hear a voice that still cries

Why? ... when there's chance to find love

Why? ... when there's chance to chase the stars above

Won't you please believe me when I say

I hold the light of summer, for one day, here is my hands

*************************************

RULE FOR LIFE:

Your mind is made up, paid up in full

no change

All the time, follow the sign, never gonna break line

too strange

Fellow man you got no way through

there ain't no moral to losing

coming back to back with your view

gotta, gotta, gotta get moving

Chorus:

There's a rule for life

and it can't be written in black and white

you'll find too many shades of grey

please believe me they will never ever go away

Listen

Don't ever rock the boat, be thankful for the right to vote

no deal

Why should they tell you what to do

let's face is, who is serving who?

Unreal

Give a mean a peaceful life

He doesn't want no intrusions

We've only got a short time on this side

Never get no illusions

Chorus

Don't get so high

Won't be a blind disciple, better open your eyes, brother

Can't get so high

Before we tear this world apart we got to realize

Chorus

**************************************

SAD SONG:

Back room parlour lonely sits and cries
See her with her head in her hands
But nothing at all in her eyes
Always listening for the telephone
But it only rings wrong numbers
Or whenever she's not in her home
Chorus
Thinking life would pass her by
She opened up her arms
To reach for the skies
Her dreams they never came true
So now she paints herself a sad song
Colours it blue
Late cafe closing on the street
He's turning out to hide in doorways
Or any corner that others sleep
Empty bottle spirits he has known
A vision of a quiet face
Together they look like home
Thinking life has passed him by
He opens up his arms
To reach for the sky
His dreams they never came true
So now he paints himself a sad song
Colours it blue 
Memories fading photograph of years ago...
Thinking life has passed them by
They open up their mouths to scream at the sky
Their dreams they never came true
So now they paint themselves a sad song
And colour it blue

HOLD ON:

You're turning me over and over

In your fine house

You say there's no room for me in here

Inside your fine house

I feel the shock as I walk through the door

Is this the reason

Why I love you more and more and more

Hold on

in the morning rain

You don't ever want to see me again

But I would take you back

And I'd bury the pain

Could it be true when they say

This emotion called love is blind

Has no time, has no place, has no reason

Ah but it's everything you'd hope to find

My heart is trapped, and there is no cure

Is this the reason

Why I love you more and more and more

Hold on

in the morning rain

You don't ever want to see me again

But I would take you back

And I'd bury the pain

Hold on 

in the morning light

You ain't never gonna treat me right

And I'm fighting with the feeling

Every morning and every night

Who is gonna pick you up

when you fall down

Who is gonna pick you up

'cos I won't be around

You might find this time

You're gonna need me just a little bit more
