COME FOLLOW ME

Come follow me my son

I'll show you things that you have never seen
I'll take you places that you have never been

The dreams I have in my mind give me hope for today
But the nightmares in this world make me want to hideaway

Come follow me my son

There are so many subjects that we've not touched as yet
And so many sights that you won't ever forget

The dreams I have in my mind give me hope for today
But the nightmares in this world make me want to hideaway

Come follow me my son

I'll tell you about the world and all that's wonderful
But I can't tell you my son why man can be so cruel

The dreams I have in my mind give me hope for today
But the nightmares in this world make me want to hideaway

Hideaway

MAKE YOUR CHOICE

Is there anyone who says goodnight like I do?
And is there anyone who'll stand and fight
To honour you?

Well I know it's a choice to make
But I'm urging you to put me in first place
Because I'll be true to you

And is there anyone who has the time to listen?
Is there anyone who treats you right
Not always hurting you?

Well I know it's a choice to make
But I urge you to write me at the top of your list
Because I need you to


WINTER DAYS

The snow beneath my feet
The ice, the cold, the wind, the rain and sleet
And spring will push the clouds of doubt away
It makes me look forward to those summer days

Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here
Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here

There's darkness all around
You'll see the light of day
When sunshine hits the ground
And spring will push the clouds of doubt away
It makes me look forward to those summer days

Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here
Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here

And spring will push the clouds of doubt away
It makes me look forward to those summer days

Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here
Look for the sun
(Sun, sun, look for the sun)
Now those winter days are here

Now those winter days are here


FALL FOR ME

No words spoken
My tongue is frozen
Why should I fear your rejection
When I can't get your attention?

One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count
One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count

My hands are shaking
Missed the chance I should have taken
Though you see me I can't catch your eye
To you I'm another passer by

One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count
One look don't mean anything
Blank stares don't count


WALK AWAY

I can see you walking down that street towards me
Pretend not to see me if you like
I've always been afraid of the moment
When I catch your eye

I'm dying to say goodbye

Should we talk about the weather today?
Or should we talk about how well you're doing?
Isn't it cold for the month of May?
Or should I tell you that I'd like to walk away?

I'm dying to say goodbye

SO HERE I AM

Time, time waits for no-one
And here I am still watching the clock
Time, time waits for no-one
And here I am still sitting in the dark

Here I am

You, you in your own way
You made the right choice when it was time to choose
Some, some always win the game
But some like me without the loaded dice are made to lose

Here I am

I'll make it on my own
It's not that I want to be alone
But better that than sad
And solitude can't be that bad

So cheers for those far off days
All I have left from them is a few photographs
Time, time isn't kind at all I'll forget those tears I cried for you
Because I knew it would never last

Here I am

DON'T THINK OF ME

You said it's about time to leave
(And don't you know it's a relief)
Yes I could not have put it better
I even opened up the door!
(I just don't like you anymore)
You left me angry, sad and bitter

Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone
Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone

And so I've been set free at last
(Finally rid you from my past)
To start a new life that I've wanted
But girl don't turn up on my door
(You are not welcome anymore)
Because I shall feel that I am haunted

Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone
Don't think of me while you're standing in the rain
Because your head is full of doubt now you're gone


AN OLD FLAME

How could I ever ignore?
The way you looked at me just then
It felt like once before

A hundred memories spark a flame
It felt as if I was in love again

I tried so hard to look away
Didn't want to catch your eye
Emotions were rekindled
And I knew the reason why

A thousand memories spark a flame
It felt as if I was in love again

As if I was in love again


IN YOUR SHOES

Don't ever think to ask
I'd never take your task
You shouldn't pass to me
Responsibility

Don't ask me what I'd do if I was in your shoes

It's not that I am weak
Or I'd turn the other cheek
Because it's you that must preserve
The continuity

Don't ask me what I'd do if I was in your shoes

Please don't get me wrong I know that I belong
But it's not my job to keep
The peace and tranquility

Don't ask me what I'd do if I was in your shoes


I REMAIN

I hope you're happy with the flowers I sent
And the message on the card I meant
Will you forgive me after all this time?
Because I still think of you as mine

And I remain sat within these four walls
I remain as lonely as I was before
I remain in hope that you'll give me a call
I remain...
Yours

I hope you're pleased with all those chocolates I bought
There isn't a day when I don't give you a thought
And though I've heard you're seeing someone else
It's not news that I want you to myself

And I remain sat within these four walls
I remain as lonely as I was before
I remain in hope that you'll give me a call
I remain...
Yours

I'm still yours

A lonely figure on a windswept cliff!
