"The Storm"

"The Storm"



Look at all the raindrops fall from the sky tonight
Just so many teardrops searchin' for a place to hide
Fallin' from the dark clouds descendin' on their way
Baby aren't those raindrops just like you and I
Won't you listen to your heart
Tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near
Runnin' from The Storm

Icy winds are blowin' autumn leaves across the sky
There's no way for us to catch them even if we try
Hiding from the dark clouds that send them on their way
Baby aren't those fallin' leaves just like you and I

Won't you listen to your heart
Tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near
We're runnin' from The Storm

Won't you listen to your heart tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near
Look into your heart and tell me what you see
Is it just a day or how it has to be
Runnin' from The Storm
Runnin' from The Storm

"The Writing On The Wall"

"The Writing On The Wall"


Last night I dreamed as I lay sleeping,
I saw a thousand angels cross the sky
Each one held a candle out before her,
to light the way to heaven on high
They left a trail of love and glory,
as they crossed the Southern sky

[Chorus:]
I saw the writing on the wall, though we may stumble, we can't fall
While love is shining on us all, we can't fall

Drifting on a sea of midnight visions
As careless as the leaves that fall to earth
I thought I heard an angel whisper softly
Heaven waits for those who seek its worth
The morning sun streamed through my window
It warmed me as I woke from sleep, and I

[Chorus]

My baby, we can't fall

"There Goes My Heart"

"There Goes My Heart"



There goes my heart I feel it breaking fast
Should have known from the start
That it could not last
When you build on dreams and other things
That love won't bring
There goes my heart
Breaking me down again it happens every time

Wondering will it ever end
I'm going out of my mind
Worried and wasted now
Will we ever get it back somehow
Here in this lost and found
There goes my heart

Building on dreams and other things
That love won't bring
There goes my heart
Breaking me down again it happens every time

Wondering will it ever end
I'm going out of my mind
Worried and wasted now
Will we ever get it back somehow
Here in this lost and found
There goes my heart
There goes my heart

"This Old Flame"

"This Old Flame"


Guess I should accept the call
But I really don't know what to say
The operator won't let me talk at all
And she says you want me to pay
Oh well it ain't nothin' new
It fits right with my picture of you
But tonight you're gonna find out
What these tears are all about

[Chorus:]
'Cause This Old Flame went out
You never thought you'd be the one
In the darkness now
I think you know what I'm talkin' about

This Old Flame went out

You went to get cigarettes
That was last July, you didn't get home yet
And now you expect me to hear you out
You call me collect, there ain't no doubt

[Chorus]

What do you mean, how can I do this to you?
Let's not forget who walked out on who

[Chorus]

"Thunder And Lightning"

"Thunder And Lightning"



There are times when you're feeling so good
That the only way to move is down
You're feeling fine, looking like a king
Then you turn around and you're painted like a clown.

Nights you feel you're about to win
The gold in your pocket turns to tin.

Thunder, lightning, striking again and again and again and again
Thunder and lightning striking me down.

You play the game and you just can't lose
And you're walking with your feet off the ground
Every ball seems to hit the net
Every penny that you save becomes a pound.

Just when you find peace of mind
Just look around and what do you find?

Thunder (thunder, thunder, thunder) lightning (lightning, lightning, lightning)
Striking (striking, striking, striking) again and again and again and again
Thunder and lightning striking me down.

Well you play the game and you just can't lose
And you're walking with your feet off the ground
Every ball seems to hit the net
Every penny that you save becomes a pound.

Just when you find peace of mind
Just look around and what do you find?

Thunder (thunder, thunder, thunder) lightning (lightning, lightning, lightning)
Striking (striking, striking, striking) again and again and again and again
Thunder and lightning striking me down.

Thunder (thunder, thunder, thunder) lightning (lightning, lightning, lightning)
Striking (striking, striking, striking) again and again and again and again
Thunder and lightning striking me down.

"Tomorrow"

"Tomorrow"



Tomorrow always brings
Rain, drumming on my window pane
As the skies unleash their tears
And darkened clouds
Release their fears
Washing clean the festering earth,
It foretells of a Renaissance.

And in the thrill of its rebirth
Flowers wait to greet the dawn
Childish in their innocence
Laughing out,
Tomorrow gone.

Tomorrow always brings
Rain - ah, but soon, the sun
Will shine again
Looking on while you and I, will walk along;
Wondering why
Knowing you're lovin' me
Foretells
A Renaissance

"Too Many Nights Too Long"

"Too Many Nights Too Long"



As the moon goes fading
He lies awake waiting
For a break in the night
When he makes he's lonely flight
And it's the same old story
Somebody bound for glory
And somewhere in my life
I swear it had to belong

I've been countin' the stars
As they come on through the bars
And I've been heard singin'
A sad man's song
It's time for busting
Out of this jail
And get me a gun
No time for bail
And I've been here too many nights too long

And now I wonder if
They'll find me tonight
I've been sleepin' in the day
Runnin' below the pale moonlight

Hidin' in a canebrake
From a man I can't seem to shake
And in my head
I'm hearing a southern song
Mississippi,
Roll on in my brain
And keep me sheltered
In the summer rain
I could never stay here too many nights too long

And now I wonder if
They'll find me tonight
I've been sleepin' in the day
Runnin' below the pale moonlight

Escondido en un canaveral
De un hombre que no puedo ver
Y el hombre, escondido
De donde sera
Mississippi,
Roll on in my brain
And keep me sheltered
In the summer rain
I could never stay here too many nights too long
I could never stay here too many nights too long

"Trapeze"

"Trapeze"



Flying high, turning in space
Indecision faltering grace.

Baying crowd, blinding white light
Upturned faces, shadows of night.

Trusted hands catch me with ease
Life's ambition, flying trapeze.

Ravaged dreams, sweat from my brow
Free fall vision dragging me down.

Flying, sighing, headlong into dread
Hoping, praying, I'll find the path to tread.

Spinning world, motion unreal
Premonition, time will reveal.

Worthless years passing me by
Resolution taking me high.

"Tulsa Turnaround"

"Tulsa Turnaround"



My woman dances like a southern leel
She's out to take a chance to show me how it feels
But I can't sit here in this chair anymore
She's about to take my hand and drag me on the floor

"Twenty Years"

"Twenty Years"



Well I've thought about the things I need
And I'm willing just to let them be
There is nothing that I'd want anyway
That could take the place of you
And all the things you do and say

We've come so very far in such a little time
And looking back there is only you that I find
Who was willing to give and maybe lose
You've got me tying up my walking shoes
These walking shoes

Twenty years on the run
I've only known a setting sun
Burning out on a lonely road
I've come to feel a lighter load

And now it's time we can turn the page
I believe you and I have come of age
All along it was there to see
What was really meant to be

It's a game the only one in town
It's a game all the changes going round
It's taken twenty years to get it on the way
And all I had to do was play
