RUN AWAY

Here, here I am reaching out
But you cannot spare the time
With angry tongue and heavy heart
The words aren't difficult to find
To let you know you disappoint
But it's always been the same
Looking out for yourself
Without a thought for anyone else

A part of me is tempted to stay
I'd forgive you for another day
But this time I'm sure I'll have to runaway

Here, here I stand stretching out
But you can't afford the time
With disbelief and sinking heart
It's not what I had hoped to find
But here we are once again
My patience has now reached the end
Once the door was opened wide
Now it's bolted from inside

A part of me was tempted to stay
There's no forgiveness for today
Now this time I'm sure
I'll have to runaway


I WONDER

When I can't sleep at night I wonder where you are
When dark turns into light I wonder where you are
And through the morning hours I wonder where you've been
Throughout the evening time I wonder if you recall me

If I walked down your street
Would you smile or ignore me?
When I'm not occupied I wonder how you are
When the days idle by I wonder how you are
It feels like another life do you wonder where I am?
Although it's a waste of time I wonder if you loved me

If you walked down my street
Would I smile or be afraid to speak?
I wonder how you'll be

When I can't sleep at night I wonder where you are
When dark turns into light I wonder where you are
It seems like another life do you wonder how I am?
Although it's a waste of time I wonder where you are

I wonder where you are

RESIGNED

I've scaled those dizzy heights but now it's gone all wrong
And I've fallen, I've fallen
No one believes me that it can't be all my fault
I've fallen, I've fallen

I always seemed to get it right
Success accomplished overnight
There was no need to make things clear
I'd dodge the questions if they came near

I've climbed the highest rungs but now I'm on the run
I've fallen, I've fallen
And now all my dear friends have left me on my own
I've fallen, I've fallen

I've milked the perks of public life
Betrayed my post, country and wife
Still, it's great if you can get clear
At least the money won't disappear

And I've fallen, I've fallen

UNKIND

I'm in quandary now
I hear it much too well
Tonight I heard her fall
No accident at all

Why is he so unkind?

I'd offer my support
But you won't even talk
I don't want to interfere
If you don't need me here

Why is he so unkind?

I've got a problem now
There's no one I can tell
Again I heard her call
No accident at all

LOST CAUSE

I've only one intention to make you mine
I have to get your attention
Just don't be unkind
I've spent a lifetime of praying for this moment to arrive
So give me some hope that I'm making
The right choice this time

Because it seems to me
You make your own fate
Except I've been scared
To make a mistake

I've only one ambition to see this through
It's such a strong resolution I want to come true
I've filled a lifetime of dreaming you are the one
So give me some hope I'm not waiting
For disappointment to come

Because it seems to me
You make your own fate
Except I've been scared
To make a mistake

Now I've come this far I want to know
Do you think you ever could want me?
Do you think you almost could love me?
Do you think there's a small chance we could try?

Well it seems to me
You make your own fate
Except I'm still scared
To make a mistake

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME

I find it hard to show how I feel
You doubt me but my love is real

I know you don't get it and you can't understand it
But please keep telling
Please keep telling me

I only need encouragement
To know the words are really meant
I know that you don't get it and you can't understand it
But please keep telling
Please keep telling me

Tell me, tell me you love me
Tell me, tell me you care

I guess that I am insecure
And need you there to reassure
I know that you don't get it and you can't understand it
But please keep telling
Please keep telling me

Tell me, tell me you love me
Tell me, tell me you care

STILL THE SAME

I've heard the rumour that you are in love
Another trial I must face

So don't come around here
You will find I am the same
So don't come around here
You will find that nothing's changed

Although you're certain I needed to change
Your opinion has no place

So don't come around here
You will find I am the same
So don't come around here
You will find that nothing's changed

Still, I am the same

A KIND OF LONGING

Can't hear the rain that's falling
Although it's pouring down
The sound of traffic flowing
Going nowhere fast
Despite the kind advice I just don't have the heart
To pull myself together
Before I fall apart

I can't fall in love
I can't let her go

Can't hear the wind that's shrieking
Although it's blowing a gale
I'm told I've lost all colour
And I'm looking pale
Though that is not unusual I welcome the sympathy
But at the end of the day
It's no good to me

I can't fall in love
I can't let her go

A kind of longing grips me deep
With memories you should not keep
But what 's gone is gone
If only I could carry on

I can't fall in love
I couldn't let her go

DISCOVER

Even now I can hear her weeping
She's wide awake although you are still sleeping

One day you'll discover what it is to love her
One day you'll find out what love is all about

And you don't know that she's been scheming
Another week and then she is leaving

One day you'll discover what it is to love her
One day you'll find out what love is all about

You are too dim to realise her sorrow
She'll get you back when she goes tomorrow

One day you'll discover what it is to love her
One day you'll find out what love is all about


TIME MACHINE

I think I'd like to go back
To a place I felt more comfortable In my life
I think I'd take that trip
Even if it was one way and there was
No turn back

So I'll invent a time machine to help me to return
And I will bear the consequence in an effort to return

I think I'd like to go back
To a time I felt more confident In my life
I think I'd take that journey
Even if had I to leave everything now
That I had

So I'll invent a time machine to help me to return
And I will bear the consequence in an effort to return

There's nothing here
There's no-one here that I love
There's nothing here
There's no one here
That I want

SELF SERVICE

I want answers not apologies
I want results to knock me off my feet
Give me commitment to ensure that we achieve

(You'll get what comes around)
I will tread on anyone 'til I succeed

I want to hear the sound of popping corks
Champagne flowing, I'm the conversation point
Admiration and tributes to my feats

(You'll get what comes around)
I will stamp on anyone 'til I succeed
(You'll get what comes around)
I will step on anyone 'til I succeed
(You'll get what comes around)
I will step on everyone 'til I succeed

BLUE SKY

I get a little low in the summertime
When they walk by
Deep in conversation and entwined
They will say I should find someone
But I don't know
I'm still waiting for my turn to come

Under the blue, blue sky I watch the high cloud float by
Under the blue, blue sky I'm still hoping she'll come

I'm feeling less than warm in the hot sunshine
In fact I'm cold
To the idea that I will stay alone
Everywhere I look I see their smiles
It gets me down
Love will surely come around sometime

Under the blue, blue sky I watch the people pass by
Under the blue, blue sky I'm still hoping she'll come

Under the blue, blue sky I watch the weather roll by
Under the blue, blue sky I'm still hoping she'll come

Under the blue, blue sky I watch the traffic go by
Under the blue, blue sky I'm still hoping she'll come

Under the blue, blue sky I watch the high cloud float by
Under the blue, blue sky I'm still hoping she'll come

I am hoping she'll come

FEELS LIKE FOREVER

So everyday revolves around us
I struggle hard to keep the pace
In every way time moves around us
Some day I'll decide the direction of my life

When everything around's so hollow
I can't think about tomorrow

I'm so lost
It feels like, it feels like forever

While everyday life surrounds us
I'm fighting hard to keep sane
In every way time moves about us
One day I'll decide where the future lies
There's no example left to follow
So I must plough my own furrow

I'm so lost
It feels like, it feels like forever
