"Love Is On A Fade"

"Love Is On A Fade"


There was a time you said no one could shine like I can
Now if I were the sun guess I'd be sinking on your rising
'Cause that look in your eyes gives you away
Love is on a fade

When you met him your shadow started getting longer
You say you still want me but I can see you'll soon be gone, girl
Two silhouettes walking away
Love is on a fade

Love is on a fade
It's leavin', it's gone, it's slipped through
Love is on a fade
You're gonna leave me with just forgettin'
That your good love never came my way
Love is on a fade

But baby, that's okay
If you lied and tried to trick me
I don't need your kinda love anyway
I'll be out the door before you can say
Love is on a fade

Love is on a fade
It's leavin', it's gone, it's slippin'
You're gonna leave me with just forgettin'
That your good love never came my way
Love is on a fade

When you met him
Your shadow started getting longer
You say you still want me
But I can see you'll soon be gone, girl

Two silhouettes walking away
Love is on a fade
Say I'll be out the door before you can say
Love is on a fade
I can see that look in your eyes anyway
Love is on a fade

And it's fading on me, leavin' me girl
Don't leave me lonely, don't leave me at all
Don't leave me, leave me at all
Love is on a fade with me, leavin' me down
You're down and lonely, yeah, fading away

"Love Made A Promise"

"Love Made A Promise"


Beached by the same tide when we met
Caught in a storm when we came together
I never needed someone like I needed you back then
I swear I believed it
I never lied to you
When I said what I said

I think you know it's the end of the story
You've been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We've got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn't keep

We run from the truth
But we end up nowhere
And everyone knows you can't run forever
It seems that just wanting something
Don't mean it's gonna be
We played by the rules
But times made liers of you and me

I think you know it's the end of the story
You've been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We've got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn't keep

So we find another way
To get through another night
And we spend the whole night dreaming
Another day will find a way to make it alright

Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We've got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)

Love made a promise

"Love Not War"

"Love Not War"


Just 24 hours ago the sound my heart made as it broke
Echoed across the room and cut right through the words you spoke.
I don't wanna fight till 3 a.m. wake up red eyed and start again
My tears won't solve a thing

Do you ever know what your fighting for ?
Baby cause I can't take it any more
Lets make love not war
We can get it back like it used to be
Lay down your arms baby come to me
Let's make love not war

If love is oxygen we're cutting off the air supply
You sting and I can't breathe
I need to know, the reason why
If I've been hard to handle I'm the first to apologise
Cuz baby this goes both ways

Do you even know what you're fighting for
Baby cause I can't take it any more
Lets make love not war
We can get it back like it used to be
Lay down your arms baby come to me
Let's make love not war

"Love To Lean On"

"Love To Lean On"


You Can Make Your Point
I Can Disagree
But It Will Not Change
What You Mean To Me
Did It Go Too Far
Are We To The Edge
Is There Some Way I Can
Talk You Down From The Ledge
We Can Turn Away From Each Other
Or We Can Turn It Back Around

Maybe I'M Wrong
Maybe Your'Re Right
Baby Don'T Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'Ll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On

We Can Make Some Changes
We Can Make This Work
We Can Fix What'S Broken
We Can Heal The Hurt
Take A New Direction
Now It'S Up To Us
What We Do In Anger We Can Do In Love
'Cause Anything That'S Worth The Having
Is Worth Fighting For

Maybe I'M Wrong
Maybe Your'Re Right
Baby Don'T Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'Ll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
Love To Lean On
On And On And On
Love To Keep Us Strong

"Loving You Tonight"

"Loving You Tonight"


The full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night
I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense
A question mark hangs with the stars up above
As I'm driving home to the one that I love
Sometimes I can't see the trees for the wood
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
The moonlight changes
From red into white
It sits on treetops
Asleep for the night
I see the signpost
The road slowly bends
Nothing in my life makes sense
A flashing tail light speeds across the sky
My head's cooking trouble as thoughts seem to fry
The last temptation was misunderstood
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
I'm faced with the ultimate truth
What if I see that things don't improve
I know they could
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
Loving you tonight feels good
The sun is rising
There's mist all around
She sleeps beside me
And I feel so proud
Am I in heaven
With her by my side
This is how love feels tonight
Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight

"Lucinda"

"Lucinda"


Lucinda
We met one summer evening
As the sun was going down
She was lying on the beach
In her graduation gown
She was wrapped up in a blanket
(I could tell she knew her way around)
And as I lay down beside her
You know she never made a sound
On down the beach came the beach-cleaning man
Scoopin' up the papers and flattening down the sand
"Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - we've got to run away
That big white truck is closin' in
And we'll get wounded if we stay"
Now Lucinda lies buried 'neath the California sand
Put under by the beach-cleaning man
Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda - why'd you have to go?
They sent her to high school
hey sent her to low school
She just wouldn't go further

"Many Rivers To Cross"

"Many Rivers To Cross"


Many Rivers To Cross
But I Can'T Seem To Find My Way Over
Wandering I'M Lost
As I Travel Along The White Cliffs Of Dover

Many Rivers To Cross
And It'S Only My Will That Keeps Me Alive
I'Ve Been Ripped, Washed Up For Years
And I Merely Survive Because Of My Pride

And This Loneliness Won'T Leave Me Alone
It'S Such A Drag To Be On Your Own
My Women Left Me But She Wouldn'T Say Why
Guess I'Ll Just Break Right Down And Cry

Many Rivers To Cross
But Just Where To Begin
I'M Playing For Time
There'Ve Been Times I Find Myself
Thinking Of Committing Some Terrible Crime

Still This Loneliness Won'T Leave Me Alone
It'S Such A Drag To Be On Your Own
My Girl Left Me But She Wouldn'T Say Why
Guess I'Ll Just Break Right Down And Cry

Many Rivers To Cross
But I Can'T Seem To Find My Way Over
Wandering I Am Lost
As I Travel Along The White Cliffs Of Dover

Many Rivers To Cross
And It'S Only My Will That Keeps Me Alive
I'Ve Been Ripped, Washed Up For Years
And I Merely Survive Because Of My Pride

"Marie"

"Marie"


You looked like a princess the night we met
With your hair piled up high
I will never forget
I'm drunk right now baby
But I've got to be
Or I never could tell you
What you meant to me

I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie

"Marjorine"

"Marjorine"


Marjorine, where have you been?
Did you meet the queen, Marjorine?
Let me know. Why did you go?
Why don't you show, Marjorine?
Oh, down by the sea, searchin' for me, Marjorine.
I want you back, but you will not get in the sack, no!
Each I go to town I see your face in a crowd and,
when I come back home, I call your name aloud.

Marjorine, life is too short.
You'll just get caught, Marjorine.
Hard to find. What's on your mind?
Won't be unkind, Marjorine.
Oh, clouds start to form, keeping you warm, Marjorine.
Life can be clean. Where have you been, oh, Marjorine?

"Maybe I'm Amazed"

"Maybe I'm Amazed"


Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,
You hung me on the line.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.

Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh.

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.

Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,
Maybe I'm afraid of the way leave you.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,
Right me when I'm wrong-
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.
