1.1 - Over & Over

Could you ever need me
And would you know how
Don't waste our time
Tell me now
All you have to do
Is speak out my name,
And I would come running, anyway

And I said
Could it be me, could it really really be?
Over and over
Could it really really be

And I said
Could it be me, could it really really be?
Over and over
Could it really really be

Don't turn me away
And don't let me down
What can I do
To keep you around

Over and over
Over and over.

1.2 - The Ledge

Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' thru your fingers
Watchin' how it grows
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
Do you ever wonder
Do you ever hate
Six feet under
Someone who can wait
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about
You're never gonna make it baby
Oohh you're never gonna
Make it babe
Make it babe
Make it baby

Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' thru the ringer
Watchin' how it goes
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
Buy another fixture
Tell another lie
Paint another picture
See who's surprised
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta
Someone oughta tell you what it's reallly all about
You're never gonna make it baby
Oohh you're never gonna make it baby
Oohh you're never gonna
Make it babe
Make it babe
Make it baby

You can love me baby but you can't walk out
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
You can love me baby but you can't walk out

Someone oughta someone oughta
Someone oughta someone oughta
Someone oughta someone oughta
Someone oughta someone oughta

You can love me baby but you can't walk out

Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about

1.3 - Think About Me

All it took was a special look
And I felt I knew you before
I didn't mean to love you
Didn't think it would work out

But I knew we would be together
And I couldn't wait for more
But what can they say
It's not against the law

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me.

I believe that you really want me
But it's not easy, just to give in
So let yourself go, and let love begin.

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me.

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me.

Every once in a while
Think about me

Every once in a while
Think about me

1.4 - Save Me A Place

Don't know why I have to work
Don't know why I can't play
Turn me off turn me out
But don't turn me away
Save me a place
I'll come running if you love me today

Don't know why I have to go
I don't know why I can't stay
Guess I want to be alone
And I guess I need to be amazed
Save me a place
I'll come running if you love me today
I'll come running if you love me today.

1.5 - Sara

Wait a minute baby...
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told be about the fire

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Then call me home

And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match -- he was singing
And undoing and undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
Undoing the laces

Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home

Hold on
The night is coming and the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there
Ask me and I'm there I care

In the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
Then you build your house
Then please call me home

Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
No it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
I'll come by

Sara
Sara

All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat
And it never really died)
 



2.1 - What Makes You Think You're The One

What makes you think you're the one
Who can laugh without cryin'?
What makes you think you're the one
Who can live without dyin'?
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me

What makes you think I'm the one
Who'll be there when you're callin'?
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will catch you when you're fallin'?
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me

What makes you think I'm the one
Who will love you forever?
Everything you do has been done
And it won't last forever
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me

2.2 - Storms

Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test

Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside

I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road

And I did not deal with you I know
though the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside

So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm
always been a storm
always been a storm
I have always been a storm

We were frail
She said
"Everynight he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted
But I loved you from the start
Save us...
And not all the prayers in the world -- could save us

2.3 - That's All For Everyone

That's all for everyone
That's all for me
Last call for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
I care for everyone
I cry for more
That's all for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
That's all

I need somewhere to go
That's all
Must be what I need
That's all
I need someone to know
Last call
Exactly what I need

I can't stay
I can't deceive
That's all for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
So that's all for everyone
That's all for me
Last call for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
That's all

I need somewhere to go
That's all
Must be what I need
That's all
I need someone to know
Last call
Exactly what I need
That's all for everyone
That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all.

2.4 - Not That Funny

It's not that funny is it
When you don't know what it is
But you can't get enough of it
If's not that funny is it?

Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!
I didn't wanna bleed so
I didn't wanna be this late
So don't make me wait!

It's not that funny is it
No one to turn you on
All your hope is gone
It's not that funny is it?

Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!
You're here cause I say so
Didn't wanna be this late
So don't make me
Don't make me wait!

Here comes the nightime looking for a little more
Waiting on the right time somebody outside the door.

2.5 - Sisters Of The Moon

Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me

And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money
I think she knew
The people, they love her
And still they are the most cruel

She asked me
Be my sister, sister sister of the moon

Some call her sister of the moon
Some say illusions are her game
Well I do wrap her in velvet
Does anyone, ah, know her name
 

3.1 - Angel

Sometimes
The most beautiful things
The most innocent things
And many of those dreams
Pass us by
Keep passing us by

You feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good
You were very, very good

So I close my eyes softly
Til I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime
And to those that I love
Like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour
And a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams

You feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good
You were very, very good

I still look up
When you walk in the room
I've the same wide eyes
They tell the story
Try not to reach out
When you turn 'round
And you say hello
And we both pretend
No great pretender

So I close my eyes softly
Til I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime
And to those that I love
Like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour
And a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams

I still look up
I try hard not to look up
That girl was me
Track a ghost through the fog
A charmed hour -- a haunted song
Track a ghost through the fog, baby

Ooh, you try hard
But you'll never catch me -- yeah

3.2 - That's Enough For Me

Everytime that you make me smile
it's the same old way it used to be
And that's enough for me
Everytime that sleep don't come
it's the same old pain that used to be
And that's enough for me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh

Everynight that sleep don't come
it's the same old pain it used to be
And that's enough for me
And that's enough for me
And that's enough for me

3.3 - Brown Eyes

When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to do
Do you have to have me
The way that I want you
I want you

Sha la la ......

When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to say
And are you just another liar
Will you take me all the way
All the way.

Sha la la ........

3.4 - Never Make Me Cry

Go and do what you want
I know that you have the need
You know that I'll wait, as long as it takes
So go and do what you want
You'll never make me
You'll never make me
You'll never make me cry

I may not mean everything
But I'm happy to have your love
So don't worry baby, I'll be alright
And I'll never make you
I'll never make you
I'll never make you cry.
So don't worry baby, I'll be alright
You'll never make me
You'll never make me
You'll never make me cry

3.5 - I Know I'm Not Wrong

Her lips were waitin'
Her eyes looked sad
The dreams of a lifetime
A year gone bad

The dreams of a lifetime
Told me wrong
Everything is all right
And now it's gone
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong

Here comes the nightime
Lookin' for a little more
Waitin' on the right time
Somebody outside the door
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong.

Her lips were waitin'
Her eyes looked sad
The dreams of a lifetime
A year gone bad
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong
 



4.1 - Honey Hi

Honey, honey, honey
Who could be sweeter than you
Honey, honey, honey
Bitter sweet, but what can I do

Lord, it's good to talk to you
Even sweeter than wine
Don't take the love light away
'Cause I'm far away from home

Daddy, all I'm trying to tell you
Lord, I really love you, love you, love you
Honey, honey, honey hi
Honey, honey, honey hi
Honey, honey, honey hi.

4.2 - Beautiful Child

Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more

You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
I had to stay
Oooh I had to stay

Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
I wish that you were mine

You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, just go
Your hands, held mine so few hours
And I'm not a child anymore

I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough
To reach for the stars
I'm old enough
To love you from afar
To trusting... yes?
But then women usually are

I'm not a child anymore
No, I'm not a child, oh no
Tall enough to reach for the stars
I will do
As I'm told
Even if I never hold you again
Hold you again

Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
I wish that you were mine
I wish that you were mine


4.3 - Walk A Thin Line

I've seen so many things that made me wonder
But sometimes it's hard to tell
I said
"Take your time"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

They told me that I never would recover
Still some say they knew me well
I said
"Stay by my side"
But no one said nothin'
I walk a thin line

I said
"Please toe the line"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

I said
"Fate takes time"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line.

4.4 - Tusk

Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?

Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?

Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?

Don't say that you love me!
Just tell me that you want me!

Tusk!
Don't say that you love me!
Just tell me that you

Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!

4.5 - Never Forget

Come on baby, could you ever be
Just a little close to me
Ooh ooh ooh
Could we ever forget tonight?

Come on baby, let's take a stroll
You're feelin' warm so don't be cold
Ooh ooh oh
We'll never forget tonight

What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me.

Come on baby, now don't you be cold
Just remember that love is gold
Ooh ooh
We will never forget tonight

What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me.

Come on baby, let's take a stroll
You're feelin' warm so don't be cold
Ooh ooh oh
We'll never forget tonight
