"Starlight, Starbright"

"Starlight, Starbright"



Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark

Hear me wishing on it, Starlight, hear me crying at the moon
Oh, I'm wishing for you, Starbright (I'll get ya)

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
Starlight, Starbright, and into my heart

Every night hear me wish for you
Every night hear me call your name
Oh Starlight, its true (I'll get ya)

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
Starlight, Starbright, and into my heart

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
Starlight, Starbright, and into my heart

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark

"State Of The Heart"

"State Of The Heart"



It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

I know your name, I told you mine
We've stopped and passed the time of day
You work in town, I work at night
That gives us six until seven to work this out

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

You are the moon, I am the sea
You pull me in and gaze on down at me
I was alone, I thought I was immune
It's good to know
The door can still be open wide

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

It's just the state of the heart
I wait in the dark
In the state I'm in

We get closer and closer
To falling out or falling in
I go over and over
But I can't change the state
This heart is in

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in
It's just the state of the heart
You know I wait in the dark
In the state I'm in

It's the state of the heart
The state of the heart
The state of the heart
The state of the heart

"Still Crazy For You"

"Still Crazy For You"



You know my feelings run deep
You've got me calling your name in my sleep
We've held each other while we cried through the night
It always turned out alright

But I fell victim to a parallax view
I sensed a change but I swore it was you
I shied away when you needed me most
I didn't see what I was doing, now I'm left destitute

I never knew how lost I could be 'til today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm Still Crazy For You

We've thrived in shadows from scene to scene
My mind still wanders to the Tavern on the Green
We lived for moments that we stole away
They seem as vivid today

We had our problems, when we hadn't the time
You clung to yours and I did to mine
Didn't I see how they tore us apart
Now I'm a banished refugee, there's nothing left for me

I never knew how lost I could be 'til today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm Still Crazy For You

I never knew how lost I could be 'til today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm Still Crazy For You
Still Crazy For You, Still Crazy For You
I'm so crazy for you, Still Crazy For You

"Stranger"

"Stranger"



Look at me baby, tell me what you see
Am I the one you love or am I your enemy?
You can turn your head, I can wash my hands
But I've got to know where you stand

'Cause sometimes I feel like a stranger in my house
And I wonder who's lying with me
I'm seeing ghosts walking round in the hallways
And they look like we used to be
When I look in the mirror I see
A stranger in my house
A stranger in my house

We built this house of love, it was safe inside these walls
But if love isn't living here, this house will surely fall
We've got to scream, we've got to fight
Do anything to make it alright
We can scream it
Got to work it out and find the book of love
We can shout it out
Got to open up and shed a little blood
It's raining on the outside but the house has sprung a leak
I can take it, you can hit me
I can turn the other cheek
Got to do anything we got to do baby, baby look at where
we've been
We can build it up, we can tear it down
But we've got to start again

"Stranger In The House"

"Stranger In The House"



We don't talk much
We don't make love like we used to
And I stay guarded
I've got walls and triggers
I never thought I had
And so do you
But this is love
And that's the way we seem content to play it

I touch your clothes when you're gone
I let your scent wash over me
You cry at night and you wish just like a child
That we were how we used to be

There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago

I stonewall you, you stonewall me
But we both know that
Hiding deep inside us
Lives the love that we try hard to lose
And never will
But this is war
And that's the way we seem content to fight it

I get so angry and confused 'cause
I want out but I want you
You can't decide between moving out or moving in
You don't know what to do

With a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
And she looks like you
And he looks like me

Is this the same girl that, I fought so hard to win
And now I fight to lose her
Now I feel that it's just like skin to skin
And nerve to nerve
Strung out like wire
Is that the way we are content to live

We face off in anger
In rooms once filled with love
Looking for a chink in the armour
Where we can stab the blade
What are we thinking of

There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago

There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house
There's a Stranger In The House
In the house

"Suzanne"

"Suzanne"



(When things get hot) Oh my love
(When things get hot) I know you like the heat
(When things get hot) When things get much too much
(When things get hot)
So tell me why do you always run from me
baby, like you do
Cause where there's smoke there's fire
I tell you love will never stay
when you're paying the games you play

Suzanne, I understand maybe you're scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take
to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, Suzanne

(When things get hot) Oh my love
(When things get hot) Do you keep your cool?
(When things get hot) Things get too hot to touch
(When things get hot)

So tell me what are you holding out for now
baby, like you do
I'm walking on that wire
How can I get through,
there must be something more than I can do?

Suzanne, I understand maybe you're scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take
to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, Suzanne

I see the look in your eyes,
I don't know why you fight it
You work so hard to deny, it's crazy
Why do you play it safe?
Baby wake up and have some faith

Baby I tell you true all the love will come back to you
Suzanne, this can't be all there is to this?
Suzanne, I 'll give so much to you if you don't resist
Suzanne, I understand maybe you're scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take
to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, Suzanne

"Take A Hand"

"Take A Hand"



Turn up your radio and put your ear to the sweet, sweet music
And take your baby and hold her in your arms
And hear the music go "Ooh ooh"
And if you're feeling like it go get your lover
And reel and rock her and roll it over
And hold her tighter, hold her tighter
It's what she needs

You've go to take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let her know
Take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let it show

Turn up the music and put your ear to the radio
And take her gently and rock her in your arms
And hear the record go "Aah aah"

And if you're feeling like it go get your lover
And reel and rock her and roll it over
And hold her tighter, hold her tighter
It's what she needs
You've go to take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let her know
Take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let it show

"Tao Of Heaven"

"Tao Of Heaven"



Surrender...
Surrender...
Surrender...

The light of spirit burns in everyone
The diamond's buried deep (surrender)

When the heart is ready the teacher will come
Nothing remains without change (surrender)

The Tao Of Heaven shines in every eye
The diamond's buried deep (surrender)

It's a gateless gate for those who never try
Nothing remains without change (surrender)

The light of spirit burns in everyone
The diamonds buried deep (surrender)

When the heart is ready the teacher will come
Nothing remains without change (surrender)

The Tao Of Heaven shines in every eye
The diamond's buried deep (surrender)

It's a gateless gate for those who never try

"Taxi Dancing"
(with Randy Crawford)

"Taxi Dancing"
(with Randy Crawford)



I think that it's high time we had a talk
I think that we're making a big mistake
I've been feeling lately the magic is gone
Are we just together for convenience sake, baby

I don't believe it (feeling), I don't think that's true (tied down)
It'll just pass (need to) if we allow it to (break free)
It's just a stage (they say) we're going through (clean cuts)
I think you're just restless (heal much) for something new (faster)

Baby, feeling like we pay our dime
And all we get in return is a peace of each other's time

Are we just taxi dancing, lost somewhere in a slow dance for two
And the band that was playing has finally stopped playing our favorite song

Are we just taxi dancing, you're playing for me and I'm paying for you
And are we holding on to a feeling with desperation

Don't know if you're right, don't know if you're wrong
Seems to me we haven't danced for long

Don't make it hard (I won't), don't make it easy (hold you)
We'll just walk away (if you) at the end of the song (must go)

Baby, put one last nickel in the juke box
Give that love we once felt just one final spin around

'Cause we're just taxi dancing, lost somewhere in a slow dance for two
And the band that was playing has finally stopped playing our favorite song
And we're just dancing

[Solo]

And the band that was playing has finally stopped playing our favorite song
Are we just taxi dancing, you're paying for me and I'm paying for you
And are we holding on to each other in desperation

Taxi dancing

"Tear It All Down"

"Tear It All Down"



I walk thru the streets of my old town
Trying to remember all the feelings
But the only feeling was that something
Sweet had come and gone for everyone
There's factories in the fields where we used to run
There's a hard day coming for us daughters and sons
Wake up, some things had better change

Tear It All down and starting here and now
Let it all burn, so many souls in pain
Tear It All Down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn

All of the treasures we own
God bless the house, the car and the T.V.
They built us a prison without any locks
And meanwhile the men who claim God on their side
Spit out their message and sell me a ride
While we look for idols inside a fashion magazine
Things are gonna change

Tear It All down and starting here and now
Let it all burn, so many souls in pain
Tear It All Down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn, there's a wall to keep us in
Tear It All Down, and walls to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear It All Down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn

Lying naked here in the shrine of your embrace (your embrace)
We touch the burning cauldron to your angel face (angel face)

I look at my boy as he sleeps
An innocent facing the lions
I wish there was some way I could talk to my father again

There's a bomb in the schoolhouse
Wired to the face of the clock
In the face of disaster we stand like a rock
You can't want you're children to pay for your sins wake up
Some things are gonna change

Tear It All Down, some things are gonna fall
Tear It All Down, we can't go back again
Tear It All Down, with backs against the wall
Tear It All Down, There's a wall to keep us in
Tear It All Down, There's a wall to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear It All Down, too many hearts in doubt

Tear It All Down, some things are gonna fall
Tear It All Down, we can't go back again
Tear It All Down, with backs against the wall
Tear It All Down, There's a wall to keep us in
Tear It All Down, There's a wall to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear It All Down, too many hearts in doubt
