I WON'T BE HOME

You might know by now I've been the homely kind
But that has changed today
Because someone's come my way

Now I won't be home
I won't be home

Once I would have been content to stay at home in bed
But I have found new hope and got a life instead

Now I won't be home
I won't be home

At last I've opened up the door
Never felt love like this before
Of being involved again once more
With a love I can be sure of

Goodbye to the past
Hello to life ahead
Memories will last
At least without regret

Now I won't be home
I won't be home

At last I've opened up the door
Never felt love like this before
Of being involved again once more
With a love I can be sure of

Now I won't be home
I won't be home


FIVE O'CLOCK RISE

And when the daylight shows I dress up in my clothes
For a journey far away
I breathe the morning air
I pause to look not stare at the colour all around

No use hanging around when there's nothing left to say
So it's time I went and that time has come today

A gentle wind blows lightly through the trees
A flock of birds sail easily on the breeze
Reminding me I must fly
I turn the keys to start the car
At nine o'clock I should be far, far away

No use hanging around when there's nothing left to say
So it's time I went and that time has come today

Now that I am on my own
The country I will roam 'til I find something worth clinging to
So just forget the past
With you I couldn't last another single day

No use hanging around when there's nothing left to say
So it's time I went and that time has come today

 

DETERMINED

Hard ambition in your head
Trash the rest and leave for dead
There's a fire in your sight
You fan the flames with all your might

You're so determined

Too much power in your hand
I don't approve or understand
You tread your rivals into the ground
But what you deal out will come around

You're so determined

All my innocence is lost
And now I'm counting up the cost
I feel like I've been double crossed
You won't see me run for dust

You're so determined


SOMETHING

With you I've been too shy
You've seen me in new light
I thought I wasn't good enough
And I cannot describe
This thrill I feel inside
I wish I could be bold enough

Because you and I have something
I can't translate into words
You and I have something
I cannot put into words

I wish I could explain
Affection aimed your way
I really wanted you to know
I hope you realised
When I looked into your eyes
Emotions that I can't let go

Because you and I have something
I can't translate into words
You and I have something
I cannot put into words
