In That Way 04:16
lyrics
buy track
And when I knew you I knew you that way I saw you sleeping I saw you waking up I saw you waking up From a dream And when we made love We brought life to the dead Under the ground Cherry stones Scattered round our feet The taste of red wine On our lips And when you touched me You touched me that way No words or song could ever say How you touched me that way How you touched me that way And when I think of you I think of you that way Of something fading Something that came my way Something that came my way Something that came my way

Kings and Queens 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Love come save me, I am waiting Love come make me a queen Love come show me a mirror One that will not make me cry Walking through the forest I studied every fallen leaf Touched by their beauty Each one so unique And I knew right then I’d found my answer to a question Thats been troubling me Oh these tired legs are turning into wings Oh a thousand slaves are turning into kings Kings and queens all rising to be seen For who they really are I gazed into my reflection These words came to be known You won’t have to show no other beauty Than the one that is your own Oh these tired legs are turning into wings Oh a thousand slaves are turning into kings Kings and queens all rising

Morning Song 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Morning song I hope you like it It’s my little way of sending you love And if it makes a brighter day It will make me happy in every way And if it sweetens up your sour If it lightens up just one hour Morning song I know you don’t like to Wake up early in the winter time It’s dark outside and it’s bloody cold And you can’t lift your head out of bed Dream away the grey, I see colours I see colours, I see colours Morning song gonna wake you up Like the smell of coffee in your favourite cup Gonna sugar your cornflakes Gonna sweeten your tea Gonna kiss you lightly on the cheek Gonna whisper hello like a summer breeze Morning song melody Morning song meet me on the beach By the peace statue And we’ll watch the sunrise Together

Sweetheart 05:47
lyrics

You wake up, I’ll get dressed I don’t know if you want your breakfast in bed You take a shower, I’ll make some tea I don’t know how many sugars you want baby But I know which way you’re gonna go Straight into my heart sweetheart Sweet, sweetheart, you’ve got the part I won’t wanna run to anybody else’s arms I won’t wanna, I won’t wanna I won’t wanna, I won’t wanna I won’t wanna, I won’t wanna run Run..... From your kiss, I know this I won’t want to taste nobody else’s lips I promise I’ll play and I will not be ashamed I just wanna hold you again I just wanna, I just wanna I just wanna, I just wanna I just wanna hold you again... Again.... We’ll dance all night, if the rhythm is right I won’t want to dance with any other guy Sweet, sweetheart, you’ve got the part I won’t wanna run to anybody else’s arms I wont wanna, I wont wanna I wont wanna, I wont wanna I wont wanna, I won’t wanna run Run..... You’ve got me missing, you’ve got me wishing You’ve got me missing, you’ve got me wishing

Waiting Game 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Waiting game here I am, sitting here looking out The window wondering where you are Is it just an ego ride, you can chase and I will hide Underneath the thickest skin, no one know where I’ve been Waiting game is it love, I think that I should call your bluff A cunning plan in my hand, will it keep me in demand Falling into your lap, I think it’s a load of crap I just want to hold you near, here are words I long to hear Hold on, cause this could really flower, in the next hour Waiting to bloom, don’t walk out of the room, I’d really like to show you, like to get to know you Before you turn the lights down low Waiting game, I’m not sure if I trust you anymore Play my heart like a guitar, feel the need, the need in me Waiting game is it real, I’d like to know just how you feel I could guess but guess it wrong, I could write the saddest song Falling into your lap, I think it’s a load of crap I just want to hold you near, here are words I long to hear Hold on, cause this could really flower, in the next hour Waiting to bloom, don’t walk out of the room, I’d really like to show you, like to get to know you, Before you turn the lights down low Let me light a candle, I know I’m hard to handle But I hold a flame for you

Those Blues 05:52
lyrics
buy track
Regrets aren’t sweet and I don’t want to keep them But I kick myself when I think of the love that passed me by Passed me by, your love just passed me by Today I got those blues For wanting you Today I got those blues For tenderness Me and you what were we thinking When we dived into that ocean of blue Change the colour, warm it up Turn back time so I can make it up to you I can make it up If I had you now I’d throw caution to the wind I would tell you something sweet Today I got those blues For wanting you Today I got those blues For tenderness Oh boy give me one more dance A second chance to show my love Oh boy did I mess it up Give me one more chance to show my love Oh boy did I let you down Give me one more chance to love you now

Sweet Little Lie 02:42
lyrics
buy track
You speak about love But what does it mean? What does it mean? Is it just a feeling darling? Feelings come and feelings leave It’s a sweet little lie If it doesn’t run deep And it doesn’t run wide Do you wear it like a fashion? When you feel high, when you feel high It’s a sweet little lie If it doesn’t run deep And it doesn’t run wide I’m telling you straight, That look on your face That look in your eye It’s a sweet little lie If it doesn’t run deep And it doesn’t run wide

You Heal Me 05:49
lyrics
buy track
I don’t have money, don’t own nothing at all But I have these arms that can wrap you with love and affection I’m not a liar and I’m not a thief, But I’d steal this moment and set it free from misery All my life I’ve searched for a cause Something I can live for Every day is a miracle baby, when you survive Every day is a miracle baby........ You heal me, let me heal you You heal me, let me heal you too Let me heal you Oh beloved friends please forgive me I lost my head and I don’t know which way I am going I’m not a martyr and I’m not a saint But i have a human heart capable of comforting somebody

Roses At The Top 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Standing still, looking at our lives With a microscope and a sharp knife It hurts a lot, you’ve got wounds so deep I got trouble in my heart, trouble in my sleep Is it written in my DNA from my family line Goes back centuries, stretching across time If as a child it just didn’t show How do you expect that light inside to grow I didn’t love myself, that was my down fall But it can take lifetimes to stand that tall And when I love myself, I’ll be much better off I’ll be worth a lot ............................................. I’m praying for that seed, gonna plant it inside I can’t change history but the future is mine Tell my fathers father, my mothers mother Tell my sisters sister, my brothers brother Tell that stormy sea and that hurricane Tell that ball and chain I’m breaking free I’m breaking free I didn’t love myself, that was my down fall But it can take lifetimes to stand that tall And when I love myself, I’ll be much better off I’ll be worth a lot............................................... If time is precious and days are like jewels Think how wealthy we’ll be when we’re 92 I’m not getting younger, I know I’m getting old But every day I’m spinning straw into gold Straw into gold, straw into gold I didn’t love myself, that was my down fall But it can take lifetimes to stand that tall And when I love myself, I’ll be much better off I’ll be worth a lot............................................... Climbing this mountain, I’ve really learnt a lot It’s a long, long journey, to reach the roses at the top Roses at the top Reach the roses at the top

Birds Of Prey 04:55
lyrics
buy track
If I was a sorcerer I would fill your heart with birds And watch them fly away, carry the weight Into the sky, circling high, beautiful shapes Formations rise and fall then become one All for the rapture Birds of prey Are coming to give your love away And we won’t have to turn from the sun Cause all of our longing is done And all of our sorrows are sung And joy is the only song We sing now Joy is the only song Now, now, now
