"Angel Of Love"

"Angel Of Love"


Everybody got their tales of war
Everybody got their cross to bear
Restless souls in a traveler's tale

Sure we all been there

These streets of hope
Have forgotten my name
It was such a long time ago

So, angel of love
Dance with me
Take this broken soul
And set him free
Angel of love

I'm the prince of the motel chain
I'm the king of the highway code
My distant dream of a good life
I left way back down that road

I need a slow song
So I can dance in your arms
I need a friend tonight
I won't do you no harm

So, angel of love
Dance with me
Take this broken soul
And set him free
Angel of love

The song of the highway
Always sings of a love you know
The old time and achin'
Of what never came true

So, angel of love
Dance with me
Take this broken soul
And set him free
So many times
Through the tears and the pain
Take this broken heart
Make him smile again
Angel of love
Dance with me
Oh, my angel of love, yeah
Dance with me

"Angellina"

"Angellina"


Agellina takes each empty glass
And washes away every heartache
She calls out to the guys to drink up
What's left of their soul
Agellina each glass of hope that you fill
Is now empty and waiting
Waiting for some kind ogf love
Before their trail has gone cold

Each butchered dream
Has a matching face
For each story
Each lonely heart in this loser's race
Without end
Oh Agellina

Agellina, was there someone you loved
Who left your heart broken?
Your pretty eyes
Give your deepest dark secrets away
Oh Agellina so many who'd die for their eyes
To be closed by
'Til morning
Your smile is their kiss
As they hang on to each word you say

Each butchered dream
Has a matching face
For each story
Each lonely heart in this loser's race
Without end
Oh Agellina

"Anyone Quite Like You"

"Anyone Quite Like You"


Ten Thousand princes
I've seen them all
I've seen them come
And I see them fall
I've watched them win
I've watched them loose
Since you've been around
No-one gets to choose
Because when the game begins
And the time is now
When there is no more talking
Only here and now
There is only here and now
I ain't seen anything qute like you
Ain't been anyone quite like you

Ten thousand princes
All backs against the wall
Then Thousand losers
When the winner comes to call
How they scream in frustration
Then thousand reasons why
The rhetoric is endless
I see the laughter in your eyes
Because when the game begins
And the time is now
When there is no more talking
Only here and now
Only here and now
I ain't seen anything qute like you
Ain't been anyone quite like you

"Are You Ready"

"Are You Ready"


And your life
Is blowing over
A little faster every day
Better stop for a while
And it think it over
Cos you know for sure
You lost your way
Does what's around you really matter?
is there something left undone?
A simple dream you left behind you
Now the truth has got you
Undone

Are you ready?
Oh tell me
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

"As Long As I Have Your Love"

"As Long As I Have Your Love"


The word you send today
From somewhere far away
Cut in deep to the bone
Though I am not with you now
I feel you close somehow
Too many days, so far from home
And I send my dream to you
And I will go on
As long as I have your love

I see your candle burn,
You wait for my return
I feel your shadow in the night
The question still remains, oh love its still the same
Oh I'll get by,
Don't you know I'll be alright
As long as I have your love

"Auf Immer Und Ewig"

"Auf Immer Und Ewig"


No sunny day, no sky of blue
Just a pale moon on the wings of the wind
No diamond rings, no pretty dreams
Two people caught in chains of each other

And there was no other way
This was how it was to be
The flame will haunt you constantly
There'll never be a day

Auf immer und ewig?
Auf immer und ewig?

"Baby Come Home"

"Baby Come Home"


Baby come home
Can't sleep without you
Baby come home
Oh, you know that I care
I need this feeling
Like I need a hole in the head
If life is without you I would rather be dead
Oh baby come come
Yeah baby come come

Oh the morning light is creeping
Across the cold bedroom floor
I need to hear somebody
Walking gently through my door
Baby, please, baby
Please hear what I say
Oh I'm gonna be a good boy
I won't lose it no more no way
I'm singing, baby, baby please come home
Oh I can't live without you
Baby come home
I gotta have you hear
Baby come home
Baby please come home

"Baby Don't Cry"

"Baby Don't Cry"


The cold axe of bad love
Sure cut you down
There's nothing to hold on to now
In this part of town

Your heart has been broken
But hear what I say
Ain't nothing but a cold night
Bringing home a new day
I know what you're feeling
What you're going through
How much it must hurt you
Like nothing else do

Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is gone

Hey little angel, oh hear what I say
The pain that you're feeling
I swear it won't stay
'Cos I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I'll be here with you
So you never be alone

Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is over
Don't cry, baby don't cry, the worst is gone

"Bajan Blue"

"Bajan Blue"


This dark and cold
Sure gets me down
I close my eyes
And I drift away
To a land
That I once knew
Left me bajan blue
My bajan blue

So when I'm down
I sing this song
I see the place
That it came from
The land that I
Oh that I once knew
Left me bajan blue
Oh I'm bajan blue

The big ships came
with a thousand souls
The laid back dream
Was bought and sold
The Jumbo birds
With their mighty roar
Now what I love can be more
Down on my bajan shore

But I still feel
The smiles you gave
The white sand turned
On a turquoise wave
Forever more
Oh it's only you
My bajan blue

"Ball & Chain"

"Ball & Chain"


Sometimes I feel the shadows
What we used to have
Sometimes I get the feeling
Oh how it used to be
I cut my finger
Well, you kissed my blood
You were the shango axe
And I was your wood
Well it's been so long over
There's so little that remains
I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
I was never your ball and chain
I was your lover
yeah, never your ball and chain

Please one more time
Before I go
There's one small thing
I need to know
It's been so long over
There's so little left remains
that I just wanna hear you say
I was your lover
Oh I was your lover
Never your ball and chain
Oh I was never your ball and chain

yeah, never your ball and chain
