"The Other Side Of The Road"

"The Other Side Of The Road"


Getting so sick of your silly lies,
I may have been dumb, but I'm getting wise
You really head me running babe
There was a time you'd looked at me and hypnotize

Feel hung up and you bring me down
Gets to deep and I start to frown
You know what, you're not so hot
'Cause baby I've been trough it
And you only do the things you do
To prove that you can do it

Oh, set me free, I got to see
The other side of the road
Oh, let me go, I got to know
The other side of the road
The other side of the road

Burning up and I don't know why
Got to cut loose and I got to try
I can't stay with you forever
Got a lot of things to do before I die

Getting so tired of the state I'm in
Need a new life, let it all begin
I've had all I can take of you
I'm sick of your deceiving
And it doesn't matter what you do
'Cause baby I'm still leaving

Oh, set me free, I got to see
The other side of the road
Oh, let me go, I got to know
The other side of the road
The other side of the road

"The Rain Came Down"

"The Rain Came Down"


I called you on the phone tonight
Said you were doing fine
I held my breath, said I'm alright
but we red between the lines
I asked you are you all alone
you paused before you answered
I swallowed hard, apologised
You said it doesn't matter
and then the rain came down
the rain came down
Like tears against my window pane
They cry instead of me
My heart is numb and cries no more
for fading memories
but still the rain comes down
the rain comes down
Just like tears from up above
Falling down upon my world
well I just can't comprehend
How it all went wrong back then
should have held on,
should have been strong
should have never let it end
your photgraph's still standing here
Feels like you're watching me
But photograph's can't fill this space
Or give the love I need
Still the rain comes down
The rain comes down

"Think About The Night"

"Think About The Night"


When you close your eyes
Think of what we had
Don't feel sadness, don't feel shame
'Cause we had true romance

Oh, we had it all
A love so bright
Like a diamond in the sky
Before you sleep and dreams unfold
Bear me in your mind

Think about the night
I held you in my arms
And think about the fire
That burns inside our hearts
Just think about the night

Kissed the tear from your eyes
I held you close to me
You whispered this is not goodbye
I'll come back, wait and see

Oh, we had it all
We have our dreams
We have the heavens up above
Before you sleep and dreams unfold
Think about our love

Think about the night
I held you in my arms
And think about the fire
that burns inside our hearts
Just think about the night

"Till Hell Freezes Over"

"Till Hell Freezes Over"


Lately I've seen you crying
I have somebody's tears
lately I ain't been trying
I've been foolish for so many years
Now your suitcase stands in the hallway
All the memories you just can't deny
Till hell freezes over
Till the sun doesn't shine
Till the river stops flowing
Girl you'll be mine
Tell me you're doing fine now
I miss you more than I should
You tell me I should let go now
But I fight it this other love
Now you're leaving
I ain't disappearing
those kisses he gives you
Those kisses are mine
Till hell freezes over...
Till hell freezes over...
When I said that I loved you
I meant for all time
I thirst for the water
It keeps me alive
I can't give up fighting
there's one reason why
Just need you beside me
Without you I'll die
girl you'll be mine
Till hell freezes over...

"Till You Follow Me"

"Till You Follow Me"


I'll be waiting till you follow me
you gabe your loving so honestly
and I will love you, baby, endlessly
when yo come back, wait and see
When you left me I cried all the night
I didn't even put up a fight
but, you know, my darling, you were right
I never saw your guiding light
those other girls in town
they try to pin me down
Can't compare to your memory
Now I can't stand another day sat by the phone
so please come home, cos I'm so alone
I'll be waiting till you follow me
you gave you loving so honestly
And I will love you, baby, endlessly
When you come back, wait and see
when you come back, wait an see to me
when you come back, wait and see
when you come back
when you come back

"Too Many Pennies In Hell"

"Too Many Pennies In Hell"


Too many pennies in hell
born in my eyes
I'm going down
Down to the bar
to swim in the sea
Looking at you
Looking at me
Counting the cost
Nothing is free
See
My life

"Two Strangers Falling"

"Two Strangers Falling"


Through the lights on the stage she could see the young trooperdor playing
He was handsome and strong and the music kept drawing her near
When night found them there they were too young to care
Each of them wanting a chance
Two strangers falling, looks like they're caught in romance
She wasn't looking for anything more than flirtation
He was just bored and though she might help pass the time
But the night was alive there was nowhere to hide
Each of them needing a chance...
Young love filled with the fire
Sparked by a passion a flirting desire
Long live to give love a chance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Ohh yeah
Was a quiet night as they strolled through the streets of the city
Talking and laughing the night would too soon become day
But when morning had come they had both been as one
Each of them taking the chance...
Young love filled with the fire
Sparked by a passion a flirting desire
Long live to give love a chance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance

"Umbrella Day"

"Umbrella Day"


We were walking, we were barely talking
It was late '63
Clouds were overloaded, and when they exploded
You said to me
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day, throw it away
Out together it was stormy weather
We were soaked to the skin
Thunder crashing, we wee puddle splashing
and we started to sing
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day, throw it away
Now look my way and see, just how wonderful
Rain can be, loving you loving me
It's going round, round, round
Down, down and down
Round round and round, down, down and down
we were calling at the water falling
As I fell to the ground
You and I, we really blessed the sky
Oh, for this new love we've found
Oh, oh, oh look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day
Oh, oh, oh , look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day
It's going round, round and round
Down, down and down
Round, round, and round, down down and down

"We're Flyin' High"

"We're Flyin' High"


Did you ever look down on an Egyptian plain
Did you ever look down upon the golden grain
and if you could find water on that Egyptian plain
Would you ever go back there again
and did you ever head out across the Aegean sea
Have you looked down on a sunrise in the east
And if you saw your reflection in that Aegean sea
Could it mean that that's where you were meant to be
But you and I, we're flyin' high
We'll touch the sky
We're flyin' high
Can you still see the water, can you still see the sands
Higher and higher away from the land
We were born in the waters, lost in the sands,
Now, we're flyin' high

"What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted"
(originally by Jimmy Ruffin)

"What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted"
(originally by Jimmy Ruffin)



As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby

The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand things pain much longer

I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hopin' and praying for someone who'll care
Always moving and going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, help me, please

I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone look, there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
And I'll be searching everywhere
I know I'll find it somewhere
