"Sirens"
(originally by Nell Bryden)



Last night I dreamt I was floating with you
The river so deep and the sky perfect blue
If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of Sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

Streets lie so empty, the lost avenues
The lights of Saint Vincent are too much to lose
If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of Sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

If we leave behind the tears in our eyes
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of Sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

"Sisters Of Mercy"

"Sisters Of Mercy"


Sisters of Mercy
Your faith is not faithful
Your grace shows no grace
Your mercy shows no mercy
Is there no way out of this place

There's a baby crying
Softly
In a dark and
Dangerous place
She's imprisoned by no
Language
Fear grips her tiny face
In gods house she
Held a hostage
By a cruel and
Heartless mob
There's some rule they
Think god's
Written
And it justifies their job

Sisters of mercy
Daughters of hell
They always weave
Their web of lies
And wrap you in their
Wicked spell
Sisters of mercy
Masters of pain
They try to crucify your
Innocence
And do it in gods name

There's a baby
Sobbing softly
In a crib that's now
A cage
She's done nothing to
Deserve this
But it sanctifies their
Rage

They use god like he's a
Weapon
Only for a chosen few
Then hide behind pious
Faces
Like the guilty always do

Sisters of mercy
Mothers of shame
A baby only gets to
Heaven is she's baptized in his
Name
Sisters of Mercy
Daughter of war
These chicks administer
Your penance
While the devil guards
Their door

Your faith is not faithful
Your grace has no
Grace
Your mercy shows no
Mercy
Is there no way out of
This place

There's a baby who's a
Warrior
Sometimes tears run down her face

As she wonders should
She fight
Or simply disappear from
The race
If she's only
One lesson
It's pride comes before
A fall
The karma train waits
For no man
But god waits for us all

Sisters of mercy
Twisters of truth
I cannot condemn you or
Forgiver you
For your sins done in gods
Youth

Sisters of mercy
Daughters of Cain
I see your wilted
Powers fading
Left like rags out
In the rain

Sisters of mercy
Mothers of hell
Your mercy has no
Mercy
Is there no way out of
This place
Your grace shows no
Grace
Your mercy shows no
Mercy
Is there no way out of
This place
Is there no way out of
This place

"Skin Deep"

"Skin Deep"


You came on to me a house of fire
One look was all it took for my desire
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need somethin'
That can make me feel alright as I go

Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
S.O.S.
I'm in distress, tonight

Knock knock in the dark, what will I find?
Your eyes, hypnotize but can they read my mind
Watch your step now
We're gettin' closer to the edge
This is dangerous
And all the lights are flashin' red as I go

Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble

Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I hear your voice I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Too far gone
I can't hold on, tonight, not tonight

Skin deep, skin deep
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need someone
Who can make me feel alright as I go

Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble

Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble

Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I hear your voice I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Skin deep, to the bone

"Song Called Children"

"Song Called Children"


Children playing in a park with a ball, teddy bears,and dolls if you watch them
Very close then you see there's a love for all dancing through the light music
Only they can hear they can close their eyes knowing there's nothing to fear
They can't see a thing whistle through the trees cos' they are still children
They are still children

Now their time has come and gone they are grown all to soon it seems children
In their land and dreams dancing through the light music that only they can
Hear they can close their eyes and know there's nothing to fear I wish that
Time stood still so they would never feel the pain of not being children I wish
That time stood still so they would never feel I wish that time stood still

"Song For You"
(originally by Leon Russell)

"Song For You"
(originally by Leon Russell)



I've been so many places in my life and time
Sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I got out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now I'm singing this song
Singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can you please see through me
Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth
We're only nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words can come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Singing this song, singing this song for you

"Spring"

"Spring"


In a broken down apartment house
Laid a woman in labor
She said by the grace of God
I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor
Six o'clock the sun was rising
All upon the world
Seven forty-five the neighbor smiled
And said you got a beautiful girl
She named her Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
She named her Spring
And though she's never been wed
She held her newborn child and said
Ah Spring
I've waited a long long time for you
In a broken down apartment house
Lay a woman dying
By her side a little six year old girl
Who was softly crying
Momma don't go away
And leave me all alone
Momma said to the welfare lady
Find my child a good home
I miss my Spring
Ah winter's been a long time passing
I miss you Spring
The angels came that day
The welfare lady knelt to pray
Ah Spring
She'll be long time gone from you
A beautiful church outside of town
Stands a woman smiling
On her hand is a wedding band
Of fashionable styling
All these years in the orphan's home
He shares with you
Now all your hopes and your childhood dreams
Have all come true
He loves you Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
He needs you Spring
He promised you today
He would never never go away
Ah Spring
He's waited a long long time for you
Long long time for you

"Stars"

"Stars"


I was never one for saying what I really feel
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real

Stars they come and go
They come fast
They come slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey, but it gets lonely here
When there's no one here to share
You can shake it all away if you will hear my story
Some people ask for fame like athlete's in a game
We break our collarbones and come up swinging
Some of us are downed some of us a crowned
And some are lost and never found but most have seen it all
They live there lives in sad cafe's and music halls
They always come up singing
Some make it when they're young before the world has done its dirty job
Later on someone will say you've had your day,
And now you must make way
But they will never know the pain of living
With a name you'd never own
Or the many years forgetting
What you know too well
That the ones who get the crown
Have been let down
Yet try to make amends
Without defending
Perhaps pretending
You never saw the eyes
Of grown men of twenty-five
That follow as you walk
And ask for autographs
Or kiss you on the cheek
But you never can believe
They really love you
Some make it when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul
They're not afraid to bear
Or perhaps there's nothing there

Stars they come and go
They come fast
They come slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory

But most have seen it all
They live there lives
In sad cafe's and music halls
They always come up singing
Singing
Singing
Singing

"Starting Over"

"Starting Over"


Spent a lifetime
Finally found someone
Gave him all that I had
In love, 'til the dream was gone

An' I was losing myself
Out in the darkness, alone
But the night made me strong
And I learned to let go

Time mends the heart
You turn the page, somehow
Oh, there's no lookin' back
The hurtin's behind you now

Startin' over again
On a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
Startin' over, startin' over

Memories haunt you
Feelings you won't forget
Learn to live a lesson in love
Walk away without regrets

Oh, never deny
The fear that your heart defends
Oh, find your way out
Just when you've reached the end

Startin' over again
No one's gonna count you out, when the heat is on
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Gotta come back and turn it around
Startin' over

Take another look inside
Where you always had the fight
Never dreamed of givin' up
Never, no lookin' back

Startin' over again
Come a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin

Startin' over again
Come a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin

Startin' over again

"Still"

"Still"


My heart cried out for you
Over an ocean
And your pain cried out for me
Across a wave

You stood half dead,
Numb to any emotion
'cause you were a prisoner
And I was a slave

We'd both stopped searching for
Any acceptance
And rejection always was our bitter pill
'cause, I have no precious gifts to give you...
I only have four words
Darling I love you...
I love you
Still

I never thought someone would ever see,
Or make a prisoner of my heart
But like a warrior dressed in armor
You carved your name in it,
Right from the start...

You held my soul a hostage
In your tower on the hill
And all I pray for when I sleep...
Or lay awake,
Is that you love me,
Still ...

My heart cried out for you over an ocean
And your pain cried out for me across a wave
'cause we hid half dead
Numb to any emotion
Now you are my prisoner,
And I am your slave

We'd both stopped searching for any acceptance
Rejection had always been our bitter pill
And I have no precious gifts to give you...
Oh, I only have these words
Darling I love you...
I love you...
Still

Oh baby I love you
I love you... still
Oh baby I love you - still
Baby I love - still
I love you still

Oh baby I love you
I love you... still
Oh baby I love you - still
Baby I love - still
I love you still

"Still In Love With You"

"Still In Love With You"


Visions haunt my memory
They hold on, hold on desperately

You and I were over long ago
Don't know why my heart's the last to know
Each time I find somebody new

Still in love with you
I know I've been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
And you know I'll deny it
The more that it's true
Still in love with you

Wake up, crying in the night
These feelings I'm feeling prove you right

You told me no one else could take your place
No matter how I try, I can't replace
One thing you said, I know it's true

Still in love with you
I know I've been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
I don't wanna believe it
But what can I do
Still in love with you

You and I were over long ago
Don't know why my heart's the last to know

Still in love, still in love with you
I know I've been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
I don't wanna believe it
But what can I do
Still in love with you

I know I've been lying, lying all along
Baby, it's you
And the more I deny it
The more that it's true
Still in love with you

I know I've been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
