"Even If I Don't Say"

"Even If I Don't Say"



Livin'
From day to day
By your side
All the give and take
Wouldn't change that
For the universe
You've always seen me
Through the best and the worst

And it's not like
I'm tongue-tied
Or words get in my way
But I love you
And it's still true today
Even if I don't say

Like a diamond
With a thousand sides
You sparkle
And reflect the light
In the dark days
When I can barely see
You find the blue sky
Bring it out in me

And it's not like
I'm tongue-tied
Or words get in my way
But I love you
And it's still true today
Even if I don't say

(Shoop da waddy Shoop da waddy Shoop da waddy bop Shoop da waddy waddy)
Lookin' back on all our years
Every battle won has laid the path we're walkin' on
So let me be clear
I'm so glad that you're here

By my side
From day to day
Through hard times
And the give and take
Built a love strong
As the universe
Fighting beside you
Through the best and the worst

And it's not like
I'm tongue-tied
Or words get in my way
But I love you
And it's still true still true today
And it's not like
I'm tongue-tied
Or words get in my way
But I love you
And it's still true
Today
Even if I don't say
Even if I don't say
Even if I don't say

"Everlasting Love"

"Everlasting Love"



He wasn't looking for a pretty face
She wasn't searching for the latest style
He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
She needed someone with an interior smile

She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull and burst at the seams

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for?
Something special, something pure

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for?
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for?

Is this love worth waiting for?
(I need an everlasting love)
Bitterness will die for sure
Something special, something pure
(I need a friend and a lover divine)
Is this love worth waiting for?

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

"Everything"

"Everything"


I want to be...
The coffee in your pot
I want to be the shower in the morning
that's steamy and hot

I want to be...
The cherry that paints your lips
I want to be the stick shift
at your fingertips

What ever I think of its never enough
to show you my love
I want to be your everything!

I want to be...
The wine that swirls around your tongue
I want to be the Harley
that you sit upon

I want to be...
The Elvis that makes you scream and shake
I want to be the velvet
that hugs your pretty shape

What ever I think of its never enough
to show you my love
I want to be your everything!

The trouble is you just don't know who the hell I am
But I'll change that little detail, if I can

What ever I think of its never enough
to show you my love
I want to be... I want to be your everything!

[solo]

The trouble is you don't even know who the hell I am
But I'll change that little detail, if I can

What ever I think of its never enough
to show you my love
I want to be... I want to be... I want to be your everything!

I want to be your everything! (that's all just everything)
I want to be your everything! (that's all just everything)
I want to be your... I want to be your...
I want to be your everything! (that's all just everything)

"Exodus"

"Exodus"



They're sending back pictures from Saturn and Mars
Maybe this will be our new home
Well we seem to have messed up
And we must look to the stars
Our paradise we seem to have outgrown

Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane

Well we've been much too greedy
Wanting too much to fast
But we have to say we are what we are
Well the trees and the plants and the animals have gone
Long ago
Used to be real air to breath, they say so

Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for new life

Anyway it's too late for what might have been
Kiss the earth goodbye and get out of here
If there's anybody out there
Hope they haven't made the same mistakes
Turning gold into garbage and a banquet into dustcakes

Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane
Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for new life

Join the line
Put down your name
Get ready for a ride on the exodus plane

Get ready for new life

"Fallin' Away"

"Fallin' Away"



The manners of the heart
We watched them grow
Did we write everlasting love,
in the Hollywood snow

The ribbons and the bows
Wrapped us with gold
Such pressure heaven knows
As the fairy tale folds

Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones

In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought I'd see
You fallin' away from me

Beneath the darker sky
The stars are such a mess
Can you forward my good-byes
To some new address
Who heals the broken ones
When love has gone
You're not the only ones

In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought I'd see
You fallin' away from me

You can't turn back time
We're stranded here
Leave the future behind

You're not the only ones

In an older time when the world was small
When good men were standing
Reaching out for mother love
When the ties of blood would cheer the faintest heart
Never thought I'd see
You fallin' away from me

"Fight On"

"Fight On"



To get to know your mind
Let it be your friend
Don't be scared of what you'll find
Let's not pretend

Say it isn't true
You gave up on your dream
Blinded by the spotlight
Falling through the screen

You got to be strong
And you go to fight on
For everyone

Hold a mirror to your life
Polish night and day
You can find the clear blue sky
When the tarnish scrapes away
Hold on a minute
Let me be your friend
Strict as you want it
Or gently take the bends

You’ve got to be strong
And you’ve got to fight on
You know you’ve got to be strong
And you’ve got to fight on
For everyone

You know that everything changes you know that everything will
You know that everything changes you know that everything will

There are times when the snowstorm hits
And everything becomes a blur of cold and white
Then you know that you must fight
And believe that mountains shift
And when the snowstorm lifts
You'll see the sun and the moon so clear

Say it isn’t true
You gave up on your dream
Blinded by the spotlight
Falling through the screen

You’ve got to be strong
And you’ve got to fight on
You know you’ve got to be strong
And you’ve got to fight on
For everyone

"For You, See Me"

"For You, See Me"



For you see me
For you see me
For you hear me
For you hear me
For you touch me
For you touch me
For you feel me
For you feel me

For you see me
For you see me
For you hear me
For you hear me
For you touch me
For you touch me
For you feel me
For you feel me

For you see me

Everything reflected
The eye can see
The you connected to me

For you see me
Celebrate one more day of this life and our eternity
For you see me
Celebrate one more day of this life and our eternity
For you see me
Celebrate one more day of this life and our eternity
For you see me
Celebrate one more day of this life and our eternity

The you connected to me

"Fresh Air Waltz"

"Fresh Air Waltz"



Looking at you now, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy to recharge our batteries
I suppose your success became your security
Darkness is not what you need

You were the one who refused to give up
You were the one who lifted us, lifted us off our knees
Now it's our turn to give you some help
Fresh air that's just what you need

Not the stale bread from the failing bitter table
It's so hard
Where's the justice we cry
It's there and will follow us 'til the day we die, 'til
the day that we die

Looking at you know, you seem just a shadow
You had the energy and you recharged our batteries
Now it's our turn to give you some help
Fresh air that's just what you need

Now it's our turn to give you some help
Fresh air that's just what you need
That's just what you need

"Give Me Strength"

"Give Me Strength"



I'm not one to complain
But things get heavy now and again
These obstacles leave
Little scars on the brain

Give me strength to carry on
Give me strength to carry on

I know this worrying
Makes my body ill
Stops me reaching the heights
Where we all belong

Give me strength to carry on
Give me strength I must feel strong
Give me strength to carry on
Give me strength I must feel strong

I will relax in your arms
Feel like a newborn babe
I'll be floating in space
Watching the world turn around

Give me strength to carry on
Give me strength I must feel strong
Give me strength to carry on
Feels like all my hope is gone

Relax in your arms
Like a newborn babe
Floating in space
And watch the world turn around
Problems seem to fade
Weightless in the air

No need to worry
Leave it behind
I'm not one to complain
But thing get heavy now and again
Getting through these obstacles
Leaves scars on the brain
You make me feel
There is no need to worry
It will be fine
Given some time

"Go With The Sun"

"Go With The Sun"



There's a foul taste in my mouth today
I'm looking at the world from my fragile bubble
Turning me inside out, tipping me upside down
Undermining, suffocating pressure

I will find my own space to breath
New life living in me

Go with the sun...

Never look back into yesterday
No pillar of salt in the desert sunshine
Being the here and now
And seeing beyond my dreams
Stimulating, celebrating

I will find my own space to breath
New life living in me

Go with the sun...
