In That Way
04:16

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
|

|
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
|
|||
|
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

|
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
|

|
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
|
|||
|
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
|
|||
|
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
|
|||
|
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
|
|||
|
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
|
|||
|
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
