"(Livin' In) Desperate Times"

"(Livin' In) Desperate Times"


Never thought it would be so rough
And I wonder if I have enough
To keep from breaking down
No mercy in this town

Every day is just another test
Seems I'm always second best
But you learn along the way
That's the price you have to pay

I try to stay defiant, be tough and self-reliant
Though I get tired to the bone
Love is just a wish I keep inside
How's it gonna help me to survive?
Looks like I'm in this fight alone

And I'm livin' in desperate times
Being alive's my only crime
Don't care what I have to do
I'll find some way to make it through
Oh, and I'm livin' in desperate times
And it's too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run

Innocents get taken in
By the promise of an easy win
They start off so naive
So eager to believe
But the glitter of the city lights
Only covers up a lonely night
Of strangers slamming doors
You're hungry and ignored

I've faced the competition
I've made the hard decisions
Will it be worth it in the end?
Taking any chance that comes along
Getting hard to tell what's right or wrong
I only wish I had a friend

And I'm livin' in desperate times
Being alive's my only crime
Don't care what I have to do
I'll find some way to make it through
Oh, and I'm livin' in desperate times
And it's too late to change my mind
Till these desperate times are done, gonna run
Watch me run

"A Gift Of Love"

"A Gift Of Love"


Here in this silent night
Now all the world alI is right
As if we've suddenly been given
A gift of love a gift of love
Warm as the fire glows
Soft as the fallen snow
A precious miracle we live in
This wonder of
A gift of love
Night falls at this coldest time of the year
Love calls and its summer in here
Here where I love you so
Now as our blessings grow
We share the greatest gift we'll ever know
A gift of love A gift of love

"A Little More Love"

"A Little More Love"


Night is draggin' her feet
I wait alone in the heat
I know, know that you'll have your way
Till you have to go home
No's a word I can't say

Cause it gets me nowhere to tell you no
And it gets me nowhere to make you go
Will a little more love make you start depending
Will a little more love bring a happy ending
Will a little more love make it right?
Will a little more love make it right?

Where, where did my innocence go?
How, how was a young girl to know?
I'm trapped, trapped in the spell of your eyes
In the warmth of your arms
In the web of your lies

But it gets me nowhere to tell you no
And it gets me nowhere to make you go
Will a little more love make you start depending
Will a little more love bring a happy ending
Will a little more love make it right?
Will a little more love make it right?

"A Thousand Conversations"

"A Thousand Conversations"


A thousand conversations on a never ending theme
Seem to linger in my mind like the fragments of a dream
That was once a part of you and remains a part of me
It's the unreal world we lived in that was born of fantasy

You whiled away the hours, making promises that might
Have just changed the world we knew, if they'd only turned out right
But now I'm a little wise
I can even raise a laugh
At the funny face you pulled on a faded photograph

New days replace yesterdays in time
It's well to bear in mind
That new ways erase
Nothing stays the same
And now you've even changed your name

Forever I'll remember as I pass by on the train
Streets of paradise we loved
Now so few of them remain

Guess it's finally goodbye
Seems we came so suddenly
To the end of childhood dreams
And the way things used to be

La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la

"Act Of Faith"

"Act Of Faith"


Sure as we know there will be dawn
That we'll see the morning sun
We should trust that thru the night
Our love will still shine on
Sometimes we get too comfortable
With things the way they are
What we both would ask of love
Might seem a bit too far

So far away - from hope and trust
Will love still be there for us
I pray - that forever
We will face all our fears & believe
That love will be there for us
So we pray - 'cos love is an act of faith

Once you said you would never leave
As you held me in the dark
I knew you by your love for me
And I soothed your longing heart
But now we're lying here miles apart
But close enough to touch
A sea of silence - much too wide
We stand to lose so much

Drifting away - from hope and trust
Will love still be there for us
I pray - that forever
We will face all our fears & believe
That love will be there for us
So we pray - 'cos love is an act of faith

You have my everything
So please don't take it away
The hope and trust
That love will be there for us
I pray - that forever
We will face all our fears & believe
That love will be there for us
We pray - that forever
We will face all our fears and believe
That love will be there for us
So we pray - 'cos love is an act of faith

"Alfie"

"Alfie"


What's it all about, Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie
Are we meant to take more then we give
Or are we meant to be kind and live only for the kind, Alfie

Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
If love comes only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule as sure as I believe
There's a heaven above, Alfie

I know there's something much more
Something even unbelievers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love, we just exist, Alfie

Until you find the love you've missed, your nothing, Alfie

When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love anyday, Alfie
Oh, Alfie.... Mmmmmm Alfie.....

"All The Pretty Little Horses"

"All The Pretty Little Horses"


Hushabye, don't you cry
Go to sleep little baby
When you wake, you shall take
All the pretty little horses
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys
Coach and six little horses
Hushabye, don't you cry
Go to sleep little baby

"All Through The Night"

"All Through The Night"


Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
Over thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night
Hmmmm
All through the night
Hmmmm
All through the night
Through your dreams you're softly stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Christmas time is so appealing
All through the night
All through the night All through the night

"Amoureuse"

"Amoureuse"


Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this is not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another's skin
Breathing out as he's breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flowed
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

"And In The Morning"

"And In The Morning"


In the early morning when I'm lying by your side
Doubts go through my mind, thoughts I try to hide
Lying there I wonder if your love for me is real
Or just another fantasy

Then I try to think about the way things used to be
Misty memories, hazy like a dream
All we did together, all the things we planned to do
There was only me and you

And in the morning I touch you
And I find you're still there
I want to tell you that I love you
Please never leave me
In the morning light I turn to look at you
And hope that you still care

When I look back on our life, the pieces fall in place
Words that went unsaid, pictures of your face
All those things we shared, yet stay together day by day
Cause our love was never far away

And in the morning I touch you
And I find you're still there
I want to tell you that I love you
Please never leave me
In the morning light I turn to look at you
And hope that you still care
