"Come To Me"

"Come To Me"


All I ever wanted was our love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don't need another well-spent night,
Another clever sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there's nothing left to chance

Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused
Darling, there's only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Don't be the one who's waiting
Come to me
Babe, I got what you need
Wont you come to me
There won't be no hesitating, babe
I know what you mean to me

I'm gonna hold out for no one
Ain't gonna settle for less
'Cause the kind of love I'm looking for, baby,
You can't fake, you can't finesse
I ain't looking for the kind of man, baby,
Who can't stand a little shaky ground
Who'll give me fire and tenderness
And has got the guts to stick around

Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused,
Darling, there's only one thing you can-
I got what you want, baby
Oh, and I got what you need
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused,
Darling there is only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Be the one who's waiting
Come to me
Ooh, I got what you need
Come to me
There won't be no hesititing, babe
Won't you come to me
I got what you want now, baby
I got what you need
Won't you come
Won't you bring it on home to me
Won't you come
Won't you come on baby, bring it on home to me
Won't you come to me
Bring all of your sweet love home
Won't you come to me

"Cool, Clear Water"

"Cool, Clear Water"


I want to feel my earth turn over,baby
In this hardened winter ground
Feel my earth turn over, darlin'
Till' I'm rootless and unbound
I want to feel my body tremble
When there's no one else around
Just this cool, clear water runnin'
In this love that I've found

Hey baby
See how it can be
Every time you reveal yourself tome
I'll come runnin'

I want to feel myself go under,baby
Where the deepest river bleeds
I want to feel it pull me under,darlin'
Until it drops me to my knees
I want to know that I can findyou
When there's no more eyes tosee
In this cool, clear water runnin'
You'll come runnin' to me

Hey baby
All my life I have known there'ssomething more
A love to blind me like the sun
Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
Now I know that you're the one

When I feelmy babycallin'
It's like awhisper inAnd whenthe softestrain is fallin', darlin'
I will crumble in your hand
And when all that's left is wonder
And no need to understand
Well this cool, clear waterrunnin'
Will be all that I am...

"Crime Of Passion"

"Crime Of Passion"


My body is the only place
Where we meet anymore
Thought that I could handle the heartache
Like I did before

I remember your warning
To never mention love
A little crime of passion
Is what I'm guilty of

There were no witnesses
Just the candlelight
Glowin' as your softness awakened
Every warm delight

Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from

Kisses ago it was so easy
Dreams we shared together faded to forever
And I just don't wear despair very well
I can tell

Now is such a painful time
And I'm too far gone
Where are all the clever defenses
I depended on?

How could I be so crazy
To believe the things you say?
A little crime of passion
Is takin' my breath away

[Instrumental break]

Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from

Baby, oh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from
Is what I'm sufferin' from
What I'm sufferin' from
Ahhh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from

"Crooked Crown"

"Crooked Crown"


I could say what I mean
(or I could dance around it)
It would feel good to scream
(I should quiet down)
I could be recognized
(or I could stay in bed)
Look the world in the eyes
(or just hang my head)

I'm holding steady this crooked crown
Knowing I'll lose it if I look down

When my ship has come in
(when it runs aground)
I'll be smiling again
(turn those corners down)
I've got something to say
(no one's listening)
It's my reckoning day
(so where's the reckoning?)

I'm holding steady this crooked crown
Knowing I'll lose it if I look down
I'm holding steady this crooked crown

My prodigy and my idiot play
For the prize of my delicate line
Somehow the score at the end of
The day is still 51-49

I'm holding steady this crooked crown
Knowing I'll lose it if I look down
I'm holding steady this crooked crown

"Cry Like A Rainstorm"

"Cry Like A Rainstorm"


Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast

I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
I'm fancy free darlin'
And I've travelled round

Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Tell me where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind

So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind

My thoughts are lost in memories
That keep me free
Know if all the stars were shining
They would not help me see

Don't you know that
Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
You cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

Well my life isn't easy
And my love never seems to last
So I'll keep on carrying on darlin'
I'll just keep moving fast

I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
And I'm still fancy free
And I keep travellin' round

Sometimes I'm up
Most times I'm down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

Cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

"Cry On My Shoulder"

"Cry On My Shoulder"


I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to tell someone
That's what I'm here for

Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love

Out in the world outside
It can be harsh and cold
But if you need someone
I will be here to hold you

Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love

I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to let it go
Then you can call on me

Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love
My love...

"Cure For Love"

"Cure For Love"


You bring me roses
You give me kisses
You bring me moons and stars
That shine so high up in the sky
My heart is beating wild and crazy
Hope that I can find
A cure for this love
Could be you want me
Could be you care
Could be the words you say,
Are things I just want to hear
You me nervous, got me shaking
Maybe I can find
A cure for this love
La la la la...

Doctor, doctor
Give me healing, so I can stop this feeling
It's getting so much stronger
And I just can't go on much longer
Doctor please
Find me a way out of love
When the phone rings
And no one answers
The letters comeback saying
Lover cannot be found
Don't go looking, don't bother searching
You see it's cuz your baby
Found herself a cure for love
La la la la...

"Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead"

"Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead"


When you give more than you get
You're in danger
You may find that you're in love
With a stranger

But who knows what evil
Lurks within the hearts of men?
It's vanity, insanity
You play what you can't win

If you find that you're losing
Girl, it's time to get on moving
'Cause there's danger
Heartbreak dead ahead

Well, it only takes one second, girl, to learn
That playing with fire will get you burned
So girl, don't you be foolish

They say that love is blind
But it's clear as the highway sign
That reads 'Danger, heartbreak dead ahead'
Heartbreak dead ahead

Better mind, girl, read the sign, girl
Yeah, danger and heartbreak dead ahead

I want somebody's boy
(Heartbreak dead ahead)
Start packing up your heart
Now listen to me, girl

There's nothing to be gained
So don't keep going on in vain
There's danger and heartbreak dead ahead
Yeah, I said, "There's danger and heartbreak dead ahead"

Danger, I said, "There's danger"
(Heartbreak dead ahead)
I said, "There's danger and heartbreak dead ahead"
Baby, yeah, I said, "There's danger"
(Heartbreak dead ahead)

"Darlin'"

"Darlin'"


Darlin', I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have dime

Darlin', you're so far behind me
Tomorrow is gonna find me
Further down the line
Take a piece of paper
A pencil in my hand
I'm gonna write

Darlin', I know I feel the cold nights
Thinking of the old nights
Spent alone with you

Darlin', tears are in my eyes now
Know that I should try now
To make it back to you

Darlin', I love you more than ever
I wish we were together
Darlin' mine

Darlin', I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime

Darlin', you're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line

Darlin', tears are in my eyes (oh, in my eyes)
You that I should try now (I should try to make it back to you)
To make it back to you

"Deep Water"

"Deep Water"


There are angels singing low inside my head
Cool tango blue and samba red
I want to scratch your name upon my wall
Cause I'm drowning here beneath love's waterfall

Deep water
Deep water

Baby you're love's got a hold on me
You row my boat right out to the sea
See the woman inside the girl
Dancing on the roof of the invisible world

We are walking like the waves beside the sea
There are oceans in my eyes that you can't see
And my arms reach out for you into the dark
I feel your skin where my nails left their mark

Deep water
Deep water

Baby you're love's got a hold on me
You row my boat right out to the sea
See the woman inside the girl
Dancing on the roof of the invisible world

Souls alike
Hands alike

Baby you're love's got a hold on me
You row my boat right out to the sea
See the woman inside the girl
Dancing on the roof of the invisible world

Baby you're love's got a hold on me
You row my boat right out to the sea
See the woman inside the girl
Dancing on the roof of the invisible world

Souls alike
Hands alike
