"Stranger In Paradise"

"Stranger In Paradise"


Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

Oh yeah

"Surrender"

"Surrender"


No more wars to fight
White flags fly tonight
You are out of danger now
Battle field is still
Wild poppies on the hill
Peace can only come when you surrender
Here the tracers fly
Lighting up the sky
But I'll fight unto the end
Let them send their armies
I will never bend
I won't see you now till I surrender
I'll see you again when I surrender

Battle field is still
Wild poppies on the hill
Peace can only come when you surrender
Here the tracers fly
Lighting up the sky
But I'll fight unto the end
Let them send their armies
I will never bend
I won't see you now till I surrender
I'll see you again when I surrender

"Sweet Polly Oliver"

"Sweet Polly Oliver"


As sweet Polly Oliver lay musing in bed,
A sudden strange fancy came into her head.
"Nor father nor mother shall make me false prove,
I'll 'list as a soldier, and follow my love."

So early next morning she softly arose,
And dressed herself up in her dead brother's clothes.
She cut her hair close, and she stained her face brown,
And went for a soldier to fair London Town.

Then up spoke the sergeant one day at his drill,
"Now who's good for nursing? A captain, he's ill."
"I'm ready," said Polly. To nurse him she's gone,
And finds it's her true love all wasted and wan.

The first week the doctor kept shaking his head,
"No nursing, young fellow, can save him," he said.
But when Polly Oliver had nursed him back to life
He cried, "You have cherished him as if you were his wife".

O then Polly Oliver, whe burst into tears
And told the good doctor her hopes and her fears,
And very shortly after, for better or for worse,
The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse.

"Symphony"

"Symphony"


I don't know what I'm supposed to say
When now suddenly you feel so far away
And you're not prepared to talk
And if you're now afraid to listen
Then I don't want to do this anymore

Oh I don't know which way that I should turn
Seems the more we love
The more we have to learn
And I keep staring into space
Like it somehow has the answer
So don't let the music end
Oh my darling

[Chorus:]
Symphony
It's gone quiet around us now
How I wish you would hold me
And that you never told me
That it's better if you leave
Look at the sun
We're starting to lose all of the light
Where we once burnt so brightly
Tell me we might be
Throwing it away

Well you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
But then nothing ever hurt like holding on
I am scared and unprepared
And I feel like I am falling
So can you tell me
Where did we go wrong?

[Repeat chorus]

If everything is broken
Then it's better that we give up
And remember how we once had
Something beautiful

[Repeat chorus]

"Take My Life"

"Take My Life"


There's a river that's swollen with rain
You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain
I have a heart, swollen with pride
You wouldn't guess what I hold inside
Oh, it feels so good to have you around
I feel the walls come tumblin' down
I'm ready to change, ready to feel
To be revealed

Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife take My Life

There's a river that's runnin' wild
Could I take you back when I was a child
I want to see just who I am
To be revealed

Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife take My Life

Take My hand and lead me
With your love you can free me
Oh, take the chains, away from my heart, take my life

"Tell Me On A Sunday"

"Tell Me On A Sunday"


Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 am from a friend's apartment.
I'd like to choose how I hear the news.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Let me down easy, no big song and dance.
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation.
I know the way we should spend that day.
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Don't want to know who's to blame, it won't help knowing.
Don't want to fight day and night bad enough you're going.

Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door, that's no way to end this,
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

I don't want to fight day and night, bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no words at all.
Don't get drunk and slam the door, that's no way to end this.
I know how I want you to say goodbye.
Don't run off in the pouring rain.
Don't call me as they call your plane.
Take the hurt out of all the pain.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday please.

"The Ash Grove"

"The Ash Grove"


Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander,
When twilight is fading, I pensively rove,
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash grove.

'Twas there while the blackbird was joyfully singing,
I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart;
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.

Still grows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain,
Still warbles the blackbird his note from the tree;
Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain,
But what are the beauties of nature to me.

With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden,
All day I go mourning in search of my love.
Ye echoes, O tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash grove.

"The Fly"

"The Fly"


I know a colorful room
Where we can fly
And take a spin to the moon
On Aunt Angelica's pie
I am a fly, pie in the sky

Across a harvest of stars
And constellations
We'll drink
A starjuice on Mars

Miss our connection and cry
Coz I don't know why

I am a fly

The major is dead
It went to his head
We gonna fly

"The Journey Home"

"The Journey Home"


The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train
The journey home is never too long
Some yesterdays always remain

I'm going back to where my heart was light
When my pillow was a ship, I sailed through the night

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah...

The journey home is never too long
When open hearts are waiting there
The journey home is never too long
There's room to love and room to spare
I want to feel the way that I did then
And think my wishes through before I wish again

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah...

Not every boat you come across is one you have to take
No, sometimes standing still can be the best move you ever make

The journey home is never too long
Comes helps to heal the deepest pain
The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train

"The Last Man In My Life"

"The Last Man In My Life"


I'm a lady when you kiss me,
I'm a child when you are leaving,
I'm a woman ev'ry time our bodies meet
complete.

Long lost feelings stir inside me,
used to think nights were for sleeping,
being wanted is a thrill I never knew
till you.

Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing,
I'm how I want to be,
loving you I can be me,
just me.

It's the first time when you touch me,
now I long for rainy mornings,
I am certain you're the last man in my life.

I'm a woman ev'ry time our bodies meet
complete.

Long lost feelings stir inside me,
used to think nights were for sleeping,
being wanted is a thrill I never knew
till you.

Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing,
I'm how I want to be,
loving you I can be me,
just me.

It's the first time when you touch me,
now I long for rainy mornings,
tell each other to find all we're looking for
and more.

Found the rainbow I was after,
no more dreams with one face missing,
I am certain you're the last man in my life.
