"Spinning His Wheels"

"Spinning His Wheels"


He didn't get home until ten
He was still hard at work even then
He didn't notice the change in her hair
Or the candles that burned everywhere
She went off to bed all alone
He didn't notice she'd gone
And it takes all her strength to hang on

She's on the edge of a circle watching him spin around
They can't reach each other until he slows down
They can't find the center
How lonely that feels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels

He crawls into bed after two
With a head full of things he should do
And he makes it quite clear with his kiss
She's no longer on top of his list
There are times when she can't feel his love
So she remembers the way that it was
And she'll hold on tight 'til he does

She's on the edge of a circle watching him spin around
They can't reach each other until he slows down
They can't find the center
How lonely that feels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels

Oh, he's on a rise to the top
She won't ask him to stop
Just please don't forget her
Oh, he's so blinded by pride
She'd be right by his side
If he would just let her

They can't find the center
How lonely that feels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels

"Stranger's Touch"

"Stranger's Touch"


I've been doing some soul searching
Feel guilty as a girl can feel
I've got no business smiling, beguiling
I'm caught up in a triangle
No future in this shape I'm in
So what do I find so appealing in stealing

Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh what'll I do

I wasn't lookin' around
You know I'm happy with you
You're a part of me that I can't replace
But he touched my heart in a new place
He found a space

Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh what'll I do

Can't keep on hurtin', hurtin' you

Tell me
How come a stranger's touch can thrill me so much
My heart's in jeopardy
He's overpowering me
Oh what'll I do
He's overpowering me
Oh what'll I do

Can't keep on, can't keep on, can't keep hurting you
Can't keep on, can't keep on, can't keep hurting you

"Stronger Than Before"

"Stronger Than Before"


I've survived
So many things
From broken hearts
To shattered dreams
In every wall I've found an open door

I'd miss a step
I'd learn to dance
Come back again
With half a chance
Stronger than before

There were times
I couldn't see
Beyond the blue
Inside of me
A thousand miles away from shore

But every moment
Every day
With every step
I find my way
Stronger than before

I believe in miracles
I believe in dreams
Through the pain I've come to know
How far the heart can reach

A spark of hope
In sorrows place
Will shine
With such amazing grace
Stronger than before

I believe in miracles
I believe in dreams
Through the pain I've come to know
How far the heart can reach

A spark of hope
In sorrows place
Will shine
With such amazing grace
Stronger than before
Stronger than before
Stronger than before
Stronger than before

"Suddenly"

"Suddenly"


She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

How can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get thru
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

"Summer Nights"

"Summer Nights"


Summer lovin', had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
Met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away
To, uh oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
Saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?

Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling; drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out till ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
'Cause he sounds like a drag

He got friendly holding my hand
Well, she got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well, she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder; that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doin' now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But, oh, those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more.

"Summertime"

"Summertime"


Summertime and the livin' easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby- don't you cry

One of the morning's your goin' to rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky
But til the morning there is nothing to harm you
With daddy and mamma standin' by

"Summertime Blues"

"Summertime Blues"


Well I'm gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Well the time will come when baby, I try to get a date
My boss says "No dice, girl, you gotta work late."

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and brother told me girl you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car to go riding next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work - I told the boss I was sick
(You can't use the car cause you didn't work late.)

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks - gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called the congressman and he said quote
"I'd like to help you honey but you're too young to vote."

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
And there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Ain't no cure
No no

"Sunburned Country"

"Sunburned Country"


I carry her with me
I carry her pride
Whenever I speak her name
My soul it comes alive

She taught me to be strong
She taught me to fight
And I am who I am today
Because she raised me right

[Chorus:]
In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Oh that's where my heart is truly free

The creeks and the rivers
The dust and the mud
All of us understand
This land gets in your blood

The sight of the blue gums
And black cockatoos
White snow Kosciusko
Red rock Uluru

[Repeat Chorus]

We've always been humble
Too scared to be proud
I think its time that
We all stand and say
We love our home out loud

[Repeat Chorus]

I love all the people
I love all the sounds
Sleeping under a tin roof
With a hard rain coming down

"Suspended In Time"

"Suspended In Time"


A child and a fool in one
So sure I could need no one
My heart always on the run to nowhere
Now as you're holding me
My heart is reminding me
That now I could never be without you

But how can our love succeed
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you

Keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain
Goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me
Suspend me in time

Wasted the time away
Holding your love at bay
Now I can't last a day without you
Your smile is a thrill to see
Your eyes hold me tenderly
They'll shine in my memory forever
