"Perfect Word"

"Perfect Word"



The fire from your tongue is burning uncontrollably
Standing with your back to the wall
Striking back is bringing out the worst in me
I'm only human after all

I don't need to win this fight
I just want to make it right
Why's it always go unheard
That perfect word

These heated exchanges are consuming me
And bringing my heart down to its knees
This conversation's complications
Baby, we just love to disagree

I don't need to win the fight
I just want to make it right
Why's it always go unheard
That perfect word

From the fire to the flame
From the ashes love remains

No I don't need to win the fight
I just want to make it right
Why's it always go unheard
That perfect word

"Pine And Stew"

"Pine And Stew"



Let's settle down
The world won't stop spinnin' round
We'll get out of this mess-
Wait and see.
Wait and see is that what you'll do?
you think I'm mental in anguish over you?
Does the fact that we may die urge you to pine and stew?
Do you think I'm mental in anguish for you?
I can't lie beneath the sky
concern of mine is you.

(Tell me that your tan is via the sun.)
Tell me that the plan won't hurt anyone.

OOOOOh...

We will get out of this mess
wait and see
Wait and see is that what you'll do
you think I'm mentally anguished for you
Does the fact that we may die urge you to pine and stew
Do you think I'm mentally anguished over you?
I can't lie beneath the sky
concern of mine is you
No, I can't lie beneath the sky
concern of mine is you
think I'm mental

"Pullin' Back The Reins"

"Pullin' Back The Reins"



Out of nowhere this gust of wind
brushed my hair and kissed my skin
i aimed to hold a bridled pace
when with love itself i came face to face

pullin' back the reins
trying to remain
tall in a saddle
when all that we had well
ran away
with a will of its own

i know your soul is wild and free
like this galloiong inside me
tossed by instinct and where we land
is vast and certain of all that's planned

you know, i learned to break the run
and gently harness the love of someone
yes, and equal parts of wait and trust
is in control of the both of us

"Reminiscing"
(originally by Little River Band)

"Reminiscing"
(originally by Little River Band)



Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
How to tell you girl, I want to build my world around you
Wanna tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talking about a lifetime plan

Well that's the way it began, we were hand-in-hand
Glen Miller's band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And those Porter's tunes made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing

Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our favourite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing, spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing

"Rose Garden"

"Rose Garden"



I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gonna be a little rain sometime

When you take you gotta give
So love and let live and let go
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things
Like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin'
On stalks of clover
Well, you better think it over

Well, if sweet talkin' you
Could make it come true
I would give you the world right now
On a silver platter
But what would it matter?

So smile for a while
And let's be jolly
Life shouldn't be so melancholy
Come and let's and share the good times
While we can

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gonna be a little rain sometime

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune
And promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap
Still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there
To pull you out
That's just what I'm talkin' about

So smile for a while
And let's be jolly
Life shouldn't be so melancholy
come along and share the good times
While we can

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gonna be a little rain sometime

"Save Me"

"Save Me"



Save me
Save me from you
But pave me
The way to you
Lead me upon the captive free
Gracious and tame like love can be
Lead me upon

Spoil me
Spoil me with you
And sell me with the world of you
Watch over me with a mother's eyes
Judging my worth only to glorify
Watch over me

Save me save me
Save me save me
Carry
Carry me through
And bury all my doubts of you
Clothe my desire with spell or prayer
I'll shroud every sign of need I swear
Clothe my desire

Save me save me
Save me save me
Save me save me
Save me save me

"Season Of Hollow Soul"

"Season Of Hollow Soul"



Keen to the shifting of wind
I bend to it blind
To rid these kisses of sin
That must stay behind

Sour the fruit of neglect
The core of my doubt
Deprived are my veins you infect
With or without

Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
The ground on which we leave on
How strangely fuels the season
Of hollow soul hollow soul

Seed of uprooted chance
are grains of goodbye
Waving boughs so slowly dance
Questioning why

Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
The ground on which we leave on
How strangely fuels the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la ...
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul hollow soul

Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la ...
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la ...
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul hollow soul

"Sexuality"

"Sexuality"



Come on come on
shed the skin thats held you in
ya, held you far too long

now how bad could it be
if you should fall in love with me
how bad could it be
sexuality

come on come one
kiss away the ones who say
the lust you feel is wrong

now how bad could it be
if you amuse yourself with me
how bad could it be
sexuality

release yourself upon me
free the hounds of chastity
unleash your sexuality on me

how bad could it be
if you should lose yourself in me
now how bad could it be
sexuality

release yourself upon me
free the hounds of chastity
unleash your sexuality on me

"Shadow And The Frame"

"Shadow And The Frame"



So I find myself and what I became
Having nowhere else to lay the blames
The darker side of me in my discovery
The shadow and the frame are indeed the same

Does the taste for truth disappear with youth?
Are my efforts all but wasted fruit?
The promise of my prime fading on the vine
But falling days indeed the seeds of time

And so elusive this life we live
Incomprehensible but beautiful

The promise of my prime fading on the vine
But falling days indeed the seeds of time
So I find myself and what I became
Having nowhere else to lay the blame

The shadow and the frame perfectly remain
The shadow and the frame are indeed the same

"Shadowland"

"Shadowland"



I'm a shadow since you're gone
Just a shadow in the dawn
That breaks in the sand
A shadow lost in shadowland

My poor heart just flew away
When it realized one day
The dreams that we planned
Would only end in shadowland

I always wondered
Why you had to go
Whatever blunder I made
I don't know
I guess that something
Turned out wrong
Didn't quite belong
In this lover's song

I'm a shadow, but you know
I'm the one who loves you so
So please, take my hand
And lead me out of shadowland
And lead me out of shadowland
