Drowning in the Sea of Love

I'm drowning in the sea of love

I never could control you
I only wait around for you to land
I have no say, in what you decide
>From that first day I saw you
All sense of reason left me
You'll never know how you cut me inside
All the days I've ever known
I've watched you come and go
But when the tide runs high
You wonder what the world is coming to

I'm drowning in the sea of love
I've fallen from the stars above
Now I'm drowning in the sea of love

Feels like the longest winter
Feels like it's never ever gonna end
Feels like I've lost, my will to defend
I can't remember summer,
I don't believe in rainbows anymore
Since you cut the love on which I depend
All the days I've ever known
I've fought to stem the flow
But when the tide runs high
You wonder what, your world is coming to

All my trials have left my soul addicted to you
It's not my style to give up.  But what more can I do

Broken Land

These rivers run too deep
With schemes of men for days that lay ahead
They sell their souls so cheap
They breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread
When did the boy become a man
And lose his life to learn
So much confusion to this plan
These times are not changing

Show me the love to keep us together
Open up your hearts don't turn me away
Comfort me through this stormy weather
>From where I stand, I see a broken land

This boy had learned to fail
In times like these to cry seems so absurd
His own life's crisis pales
In the shadow of this truly dying world
These are the games we played at school
Our hands raised in despair
With no exception to the rule
These times are not changing

You Don't Have to Cry Anymore

Hey!  You don't have to cry anymore

I know you think I've done it all
I'm ten feet tall
Do you still blame me for what life's put you through
Your self respect, the all time low
Wake up and show
Change this face so blue, to the one I once knew

Hey!  You don't have to cry anymore
It's not like before
Make it happen
Hey!  You don't have to cry anymore
Take your wings up and soar
Make it happen

If you really tried you'd make the grade
You're so afraid
There's no gain in sorrow
You put yourself down
I still believe there's left inside
Your gleaming pride
Kill this tired charade
Put your heart on parade

Hey!  You don't have to cry anymore
It's just not like before
It won't happen
Hey!  You don't have to cry anymore
You can walk through that door
As long as the sun keeps shining
I don't want to see you crying crying

The Trip to Bountiful (When the Rain Comes Down)

Come Home

She makes a promise
Asks for love
She needs to know that there is still a God above
When the rain comes down
She'll still be burning
Her sense of freedom, her joyous air
Has given way to days of darkness and despair
When the rain comes down
She'll still be burning

When the rain comes down
Burning when the rain comes down

She can remember days gone by
Dream in the open field beneath the starry sky
She hears her lover's call
Her heart is yearning
She loved these people (loved these people)
Loved this land (loved this land)
She must return she feels her time is close at hand
No matter how she tries, she can't stop caring

When the rain comes down still be burning
When the rain comes down
Her heart is yearning for her own home town
Still burning when the rain comes down

Don't say tomorrow, it never comes
O how she loathes this life being trapped in these city slums
Deep in her memory, her heart is tearing

And now she tries to heal the scars left deep inside
The blood red flower, that once in bloom
Is dying in her prison

When the rain comes down
Still be burning when the rain comes down
Still be burning when the rain comes down
Burning when the rain comes down

Come Home

Heaven Knows Which Way

Heaven knows which way

I was blinded by your ways
My foolish heart told me that I could own your mind
But you would never see the day
And I could not conceive you to be so unkind

You never understand together we can fall from grace
I offered you the promised land you laughed
And threw it in my face
I need you to take my hand and lead me from this empty place
Heaven knows which way

Heaven knows your heart's desire
And heaven knows how you have cried when you're alone
But you can never quench the fire
A fire that burns within me

Hold Me Now

Running scared, and out of my mind
No place is home
On these streets I reach for the sky
With a gun in my hand
And the world in my sights
I face every day
But still you turn to look at me and say

Hold me now hold me when
We're running round in circles once again
Hold me now hold me when
We feel in need of comfort now and then
Hold me now hold me when
We're turning round and burning down

Hide by day, and move on by night
Wrap me in chains
Set me free when there is no light
You can't compete with these lies and deceit
That's my evil way
But still you dare to look at me and say

Somehow these days have turned into years
I'm finding it hard to reach you
We can't begin to count the tears
It's killing me but still I say
Don't ever let this moment slip away

I'll never find, my peace of mind
For ever falling down these mountains I can't climb
No words would rhyme
Were you to disappear again
You know that I never could get over it

The Sound of Summer

The moon was shining bright above us
The flames danced to sky and our old town
Breathed a knowing sigh, a wreath to our love
Golden Days and warm nights
Dancing in the streets to lift our hearts
And to ease our minds, Save me save me

Hey!  Seemed the world stopped spinning round
And the sky came tumbling down
As we listened to the sound of summer
You gave me hope when I was down
I was lost and I was found
We were living through, the sound of summer
The sound of summer

People watched and waited
And wondered if their lives could be the same
And if they would see their children smiling
Please stay close beside me
Cos nothing on this earth can touch you now
Oh you shine so bright, my sorrow's fading

When Your Heart Was Young

Well here I stand
With an open mind
Still unafraid, of the cards that fate has dealt me
One by one, we burn our books and run
Some for home, while others take the world and shake it

You can stay here forever, and never see the sun
You don't realise the price you're paying
It's just that I can remember
When your heart was young
Don't you understand the song I'm singing
When your heart was, when your heart was young

The winter chill
That surrounds your life,
When you grow old and tired and worn
You keep saying that you'll be coming
But still you cling, to your mother's charms
Don't take your time again to think
You'll be sorry you didn't listen, listen!

One Step From Heaven

I don't know, am I wasting my time
I'm trying hard, to win this war
And you meanwhile,
Seem content just to lay down and die
You may find, I can't give any more more more
I'm telling you

We're only one step from heaven
Only one step from that golden dream
We're only one step from heaven
What can I say to you to make you feel

Please tell me, that I'm not trying in vain
And we can stop the rain, from falling on down
Who can say, come tomorrow it may be too late
Our last chance, to find direction home home
I'm telling you

One step from heaven
Can't you see
