"The Smile Has Left Your Eyes"

"The Smile Has Left Your Eyes"



I saw you standing hand in hand
And now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go the who to see
No one could sympathize
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

And I've become a rolling stone
I don't know where to go or what to call my own
But I can see that black horizon glooming
ever close to view
It's over now it's not my fault
See how this feels for you
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

But I never thought I'd see you
Standing there with him
So don't come crawling back to me

Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes
Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now it's too late you realized
Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes

"The Voice Of Reason"

"The Voice Of Reason"



Nothing ventured nothing gained
Tired and washed out by the pain
Do we share this problem, will it slip away?
Or do we fight another day?
Was I looking for a friend?
One I could on 'til the end
Is there something that I didn't do?
Does it all begin with you?

So how did I, Oh I
Give you reason?
But how did I, Oh I
Give you reason?

After all the fallen tears
When we wake the token dream
Who let the water slowly draw away?
All the colours we made

To give you reason, to change the river's flow
To give you reason, to point the bone
To give you reason, to set your spirit free
I don't know, I don't know why

Is there nothing I can say?
Is there nothing I can do, girl?
Didn't mean to break your life
Didn't mean to burn your world, no

You can keep the silver band
You can have the memories, girl
Now as 'Pilate' cleans the hands
It's no more to do with me, no

So how did I, Oh I
Give you reason?
Let's the voice of reason say:

"There Was A Time"

"There Was A Time"



There was a perfect time for us, it seems so long ago
We were so naïve about the things we both should know
The best intentions come to nil when love has lost desire
And slowly years will show the dying embers of a fire

There was a time when I loved you
And a time when I lied
I put none up above you
And I tried, yes I tried
I'd stand aside, so you could be free
But all of the time I was running from me,
I'd lay down my life, if you'd asked that of me,
Yeah, there was a time

To look at all the years gone by, I made mistakes it's true
It's always just the little things remind me of you
All too often, I will sit, and wonder where I've been
For every time I look at you, I'll know you're thinking of him

There was a time I respected you,
There were times when I cried
When I was expected to, I would stand at your side
And you ask me would I do it again,
I would tell you the truth, look you straight in your eyes
And I'd say it though most would think me insane
I'd say it although I have nothing to gain
Yeah, There was a time
There will come a time for you

There was a time when I loved you
And a time when I lied
There were none up above you
And for you, I'd have died
But the big wheel turns at last
When all my emotions were tied up with you
My hopes and my dreams could never win through
The path has been cleared, now I'm free of you
Yeah, now is my time

There will come a time for you

"Through My Veins"

"Through My Veins"



Invisible sun cast your shadow over me
As wind cuts like a knife
Catapulting me from life with you
Waiting on an empty street
Hiding from the sun

And in one place or another
All my memories still remain
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins

Down corridors of rocks and sand
It's littered and it's torn
The wear and tear, from dusk till dawn
Waiting on an empty street
Hiding from the sun

And in one place or another
All my memories still remain
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins

This treasure can be anyone's
To believe in only one
It's not a foolish thing
There's no comparison
Waiting on an empty street
Hiding from the sun

And in one place or another
All my memories still remain
You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins

You've been taken from my eyes
But you're running through my veins

"Till We Meet Again"

"Till We Meet Again"



Till we meet again

Old friends I've known since I don't know when
Comrades, lovers, brothers, all my kin
Yes, I've enjoyed each moment that we've spent
And I treasure the memories that are heaven-sent

Come on
Till we meet again
Think the best of me
Till we meet again

There'll be dark days of sadness, overwhelming joy
Beautiful nights that no-one can destroy
I'll be with you in spirit, and you will know
We'll stand shoulder to shoulder
Where e'er you go

Take care, go in peace, and with my kiss
Be good to each other, and remember this

Till we meet again
Think the best of me
Till we meet again

Till we meet again
Think the best of me
Till we meet again

Now don't be a stranger, take my one spare key
If you're ever in danger, let your call be me
I will be there with you, whether flood or drought
When the demon is at your door
We'll show him out, oh yeah

Till we meet again
Think the best of me
Till we meet again

Take care, go in peace, and with my kiss
Be good to each other, and remember this
Head in the clouds, and your feet on the ground
I say this, we're the best friends around

Till we meet again
Think the best of me
Till we meet again

Till we meet again
Think the best of me
Till we meet again

Low expectation, but reach for the sky
True to yourself, till the day you die
Stay safe, and keep your powder dry
And don't drive any faster than your
Guardian angel can fly

Till we meet again...

"Time Again"

"Time Again"


Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you're never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied

[Chorus:]
Time and time again
Time and time again again

For what I give you I get nothing in return
Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn
All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong
Have to say that's how you did it all along

[Chorus]

But others wouldn't see things you could only see
And someone showed you, then why was it always me
You knew the limit you were always out of bounds
How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round

[Chorus]

"Tomorrow The World"

"Tomorrow The World"



Tomorrow the world will seem a little clearer,
The planets align and all will be revealed,
Don't question it all, your dream is getting nearer,
But you can tell the world just how you feel, oh.

The spinning roulette wheel,
The laugh of the gods,
The odds are so good now,
But the goods are all very odd.

The eye of a black cat,
One turn of a card,
One foot of a rabbit,
And your world is falling apart.

Tomorrow the world will be more simpatico.
Tomorrow the world won't make you feel so small.
Whenever the world is threatening to be so.
Just wrap it up, and throw it like a ball.

Four leaves of a shamrock,
May be your best shot,
Your ship is in dry dock,
And you'll never be what you're not.

Just think what you can do,
You can turn it around,
You do what you have to,
And you will be standing your ground.

Don't walk away, don't you give in,
Don't walk away, and please don't cry,
Or say goodbye...

A dollar will get you ten that you'll be happy,
But maybe that's really all that you can see,
The planet will not have changed but one iota,
For as I give, the world will give to me...

Don't walk away, don't you give in,
Don't walk away, and please don't cry,
Or say goodbye...

Tomorrow the world will seem a little clearer,
The planets align and all will be revealed,
Don't question it all, your dream is getting nearer,
And you can tell the world just how you feel, oh

Tomorrow the world...

"Too Late"

"Too Late"


I say, no way
You've gone and stepped across that fine line
I cried, you lied
I tried, maybe a thousand times before
I can't take no more

[Chorus:]
Too late
You let the sun go down
Too late
You changed direction
Too late
For you to turn around
We tried everything

Move on, so long
Two side to every story
You told, good nights
bad days, time to go out separate ways
I can't say no more

[Chorus x2]

"True Colors"

"True Colors"



This evening really came as some surprise
It showed me just how little faith
I think back when you couldn't criticize
You sure were glad to see my face

True Colors, giving away your lies
True Colors, seeing them in your eyes
True Colors, giving away your lies
True Colors, seeing them in your eyes, eyes

For you the tables turned full circle now
And all those people you call friends
See who defends you when you're down again
Don't count on money-spinners then

True Colors, maybe you'll see them then
True Colors, twisting the knife again
True Colors, maybe you'll see them then
True Colors, twisting the knife again

You did what you wanted to do
I lived to fight another day
I know that I want you to do
Just pack your bags and get away

"Turn It Around"

"Turn It Around"



Took the ground,
From underneath my feet.
Silent town,
Ghosts this empty street.

I see the home that once was mine,
Now just bones of former life.
Touch this page of sacred time, again,
I see you call...

You don't have to be strong for me.
I won't shoot your defences down.
Whatever happens, I want you to see
We can face it together.
And turn it around.

A new life
Grows within his hands.
Coming back
To this promised land.

And with these bones we will rebuild,
To the flesh of future life.
Giving back that sacred time, again...

You don't have to be strong for me.
I won't shoot your defences down.
Whatever happens, I want you to see,
We can face it together.
And turn it around.
