"Dry Your Eyes"

"Dry Your Eyes"



Dry your eyes and take your song out
It's a newborn afternoon
And if you can't recall the singer
You can still recall the tune

Dry your eyes and play it slowly
Like you're marching off to war
Sing it like you know he'd want it
Like we sang it once before

And from the center of the circle
To the midst of the waiting crowd
If it ever be forgotten
Sing it long and sing it loud
And come dry your eyes

And it taught us more about giving
Than we ever cared to know
But we came to find the secret
And we never let it go

And it was more than being holy
Oh it was less than being free
And if you can't recall the reason
Can you hear the people sing

Right through the lightning and the thunder
To the dark side of the moon
To that distant falling angel
That descended much too soon
And come dry your eyes

Come dry your eyes

"Ebb Tide"

"Ebb Tide"



First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more

So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell,
I can feel
You are love
You are really mine

In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms

"Elijah's Song"

"Elijah's Song"



Got a rock and roll ditty
From the heart of the city
To a country lane far away
Drums are beatin'
And the bass repeatin'
And it rocks you to sleep just the same

Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't take long
We'll be singin' Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song

Ya' got a rock and roll daddy
And you make him so glad
He's got a smile
A mile across his face
Movie star mom
Gonna keep you safe from harm
And she'll do it with style and grace

Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't be long
We'll be singing Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song

Little bitty child when you laugh
I smile
It's a feelin' I won't ever forget
Far from now
When you're wanderin' 'round
There's a song that I left in your head

Dream, that's what you do
Dream, 'cause dreams come true
Someday when you're big and strong
You'll remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song

"Evermore"

"Evermore"



Have we come this far to have gone astray?
I've been lost before, but not lost this way
You and me, thought we'd be
Evermore

Do I know you?
Did I ever?
Thought I did
Now, I know better
Saw the signs but not the danger
How'd you get to be a stranger at my door?

Promises got left behind
And reason fell between the lines
The words unsaid we should have spoken
Both misled and left us broken
Evermore

Have we said it all?
Is there more to say?
Thought we'd paid our dues
Is there more to pay?
What's to be of you and me
Evermore?

Was it love or just illusion?
All I see is our confusion
Came upon us unsuspecting
Here we are reflecting on the last of it

If you think of me in a year or two
Find that photograph showing me with you
What you see is what should be
Evermore

Why?
Tell me why
Don't know why
Oh, why?

Where's the truth we took for granted?
Walking out's not how we planned it
Played it loose, but stayed together
Thought we had the truth
But never knew the score

If it's done for now
And its time to go
There's one thing unsaid
Thought you'd want to know
Love you still....guess I will
Evermore

Love you still...yes I will
Evermore

"Everybody"

"Everybody"



Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna believe in
Everybody's the same
Around the world

If you wanna find someone,
Then you only have to show it
Nothin's sadder than love
That's left unheard

Me, how I tried to deny
That it pointed to you
Too many roads
Up ahead lookin' shiny and new

Everybody needs someone
But it's gotta mean something
Giving up a piece of you's
The hardest part

If you wanna have someone
Then you really got to know it
Doesn't take very much
To break a heart

May I get lost in your eyes
For a lifetime or two?
Something about you and I
Leads me right to the truth

Some people always got something
They got left to say
Some need to keep it inside
They just wanna hide away

And I'm glad I have you there
'Cause I would've been nowhere
Bein' here all alone's a lonely sound
Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna believe in
Everybody's the same
Around the world

"Everybody's Talkin'"

"Everybody's Talkin'"



Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin',
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin' starin'
I don't see the faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Thru the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

People stoppin' starin'
I don't see the faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Thru the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me

"Everything's Gonna Be Fine"

"Everything's Gonna Be Fine"



Ooh, babe, you're a hot little number
Waitin' out there on the line
For you, babe, it's a matter of love
And me, it's a matter of time

For us babe, it's a matter decided
Know that I made up my mind
I'm gonna love you, you're gonna love me
And everything's gonna be fine

Ooh, baby, I'm feelin' your heat
Hot as the Fourth of July
Me, I know that your kisses are sweet
And there's something between you and I

And oh, babe, I may look like I'm okay
I'm going out of my mind
'Cause I wanna love you
And if I can love you
And everything's gonna be fine

Ooh, you got to know it
Need a little romance now
And I got to show it
Won't you give me the chance now
Oh yeah, oh yeah.....

Ooh, babe, you're a sign on the freeway
Beggin' me please to slow down
But watch out babe,
I'm inclined to believe there's no way
To turn it around.

For us babe, it's a matter decided
Already made up my mind
I'm gonna love you,
And you're gonna love me
And everything's gonna be fine

You got to know it
You need a little romance, too

You want to make me wait for you,
Babe, you're a sign on the freeway
Beggin' me please, take my time
Ain't gonna hurry, don't gotta worry
Everything's gonna be fine
Oh yeah....
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna work out just fine....

"Face Me"

"Face Me"



When you look away from me
I feel the anger go straight to my head
Cause I'm feeling deceived
And it's not what you say
But the way that you say it
I worry inside
Do you lie to me, lie to me?
What do you hide from me?
Face me

Face me
Need you to face me
Don't have to turn away to say that
I'm the man you want to be with
Make me believe it
You know you've got my life just waiting in your hand
Don't look away now
Face me and say how
You want me still

Love me
Need you to love me
Look right into my eyes
And I'll believe it's true
Don't be uncertain
Pull back the curtain
Just say it right to me
So I'll believe it too
Don't have to sell me
Just need to tell me
You love me too

Some call it vain
Others say vanity
Comes from the heart
Not from the head
And it may be insane
What is insanity
If not a cry for the truth
To be truthfully told
Between you and me
Face me

Hold me
Reach out and hold me
Words aren't strong enough
To catch me when I fall
They can't sustain me
They can't contain me
I want the truth so bad
That I'll believe it all
And when you say it
Don't you betray it
Don't look away

Face me today
Face me today

"Falling"

"Falling"



I go off to work everyday
You think there's no other way
And when there's time left to play
You're thinkin' about her all the time
You keep it all to yourself
You trust in nobody else
And the pressure just builds
It can make you go crazy

Falling
I'm falling in love, again
Falling
I'm falling asleep
Callin' your name once again, babe
One more time, yeah

The world is down on your back
You know the things that you lack
It really hard that's a fact
When you wanna do the right thing

You got your doubts that you can
Sometimes you don't understand
What brings the best in a man
Is it passion or power or

Falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling
I'm falling asleep
Callin' your name once again, babe
One more time, babe

Fall into bed every night
It seems you do nothing right
You'd like to catch the next flight
But you got your responsibilities

She's feeling unsatisfied
You feeling empty inside
Like you've been took for a ride
And there's no one at the steering wheel

Falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling
I'm falling asleep, callin' your name

And I'm falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling
I'm falling asleep, callin' your name
And I'm falling
I'm falling in love again

"Farewell, So Long, Goodbye"

"Farewell, So Long, Goodbye"



Farewell
To all of the heartaches you brought
So long
To all of the tears I cried
Goodbye
To the bitter lesson you taught
Farewell, so long, goodbye

Through with having you walk on me now
How many times can one person die?
Once I was blinded
But I can see now
Farewell, so long, goodbye

If there was some way to start again
I'd try it
But we both know
It never can be
Oh,
Wish I could say I won't even miss you
It's gonna hurt me and that's no lie
But I'll get hurt more if I stay with you
So Farwell, So long, Goodbye
