"Cry Freedom"

"Cry Freedom"


She told me the story I listened with my eyes closed
So sad, but so true
She whispered softly, I asked her why she did so
She knew that I knew
She was a skater, the ice was her second home
The country's finest, everyone could see
She had a plan to break across the border
Instead of waiting for the powers that be

Cry freedom, sweet freedom
And tell the whole world to get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Now tell the whole world that we're ready

She said goodnight, and just as I was leaving
Black car came into view
And waiting there, they could hear me breathing
They knew that I knew
Cry freedom...

Insane questions, they asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
The more they try, the stronger our love grows
I know that you know
Cry freedom...

"Crystal Ball"

"Crystal Ball"


Do we live our lives in moderation?
Does this appear when you're around?
And the deeper in debt
The harder the bet
Your thoughts are one of a clown

Look out before you sign
Your soul away
The crystal ball, it seems
Is not reading to - reading today

Does the time seem right
For some rethinking?
It seems a gift that you have
Are you living a dream
Of express progress?
It's just a thought that you have

Oh, you should've know better
When the warning light was lit
As it did for others
You preach a sermon
When you talk of the Messiah
We are yet to discover

Thinkin', lovin', feelin'
But disbelievin' ...

"Devil's Daughter"

"Devil's Daughter"


I don't believe in your kind of affection
You're takin' me in the wrong direction
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're the Devil's Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yeah!
C'mon!

How do you find the time to exist
I've got to keep my strength of mind to resist
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're the Devil's Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yeah
C'mon now, c'mon now, c'mon now and take me there

Oh yeah!
Where do you come from and where do you go
Can I touch without havin' to know
Well don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're the Devil's Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
C'mon take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader

"Different World"

"Different World"


You can't stop a man from learning
I could write the book of love
Captured moments there
Between me and you
Then I had the thought of leavin'
It was a voice inside my head
Telling me I got to have the strength
To see it through

And I know it's gonna break your heart

I'm living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
I'm living in a different world

With all my hopes and dreams
I drift off in the night

I'm alone but I'm not lonely
I found sometimes that I never had
Laying back in the easy chair
Is not the life for me
You think I'm your one and only
But you gamble with a restless man
In the end I've found the way
That we can both be free

"Do You Know"

"Do You Know"


All that she wanna do is break my heart
Seems to me we were laughing while apart
Time was waitin', you took a pile and put me down
Well I've some news for you, it's gonna turn you around
I got no time for those crazy letters
Any games you want to play
'Cause a love like mine, it's gonna take some time
You can't save it for a rainy day

Do you know, do you know, do you know
What I'm trying to say
Love's not a game
It's never the same
You've got to live your life from day to day

Lonely days are sad it starts me black
Can I get right down, maybe I take you back

"Dream On"

"Dream On"


Been traveling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down its golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

It's hard to be out here on my own
So far away so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

So dream on dream on freedom comes with
Timeless sleep
Dream on dream on
In the arms of night your silent shadow
Gently speaks
Dream on dream on

This hotel room's a lonely place
It's a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

So dream on dream on freedom comes with
Timeless sleep
Dream on dream on
In the arms of night your silent shadow
Gently speaks
Dream on dream on

And as I fall into the darkness of the night
You come to rescue me, to shield me
In your light
I feel your touch, the softness of your skin
You hold me close before the day breaks in
This dream's so true my heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you

Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

So dream on dream on freedom comes with
Timeless sleep
Dream on dream on
In the arms of night your silent shadow
Gently speaks
So dream on dream on
Dream on dream on
So dream on dream on
Dream on

"Dreamer"

"Dreamer"


I've got a dollar deal hidden down in my shoe
So listen friends, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna run up the road of mystery
Hangin' by a thread to a fantasy
A background black showing my face
Buried in the image of an empty space

I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for the sunshine

Husslin' my will in a bar downtown
If it don't work out
I'll keep movin' around and around and around and around

Till I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for a sun shine

Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer when I turn my back you're by my side ooh

Well I fought my way through the backstage door
Staring at my goal till my eyes get sore
And working my way through the little I say
Caring no less just the light of the day
A background black showing my face
Buried in the image of an empty space

I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for the sunshine yeah

Just a Dreamer Dreamer hangin' a round
Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer when I turn my back you're by my side

Dreamer Dreamer hangin' around
Dreamer Dreamer trying to hitch a ride
Dreamer Dreamer hangin' a round
Dreamer Dreamer Dreamer Dreamer
[repeat to fade]

"Dreammare"

"Dreammare"


Grinning demons smiling sideways
Laughing in my face
Here within my troubled sleep
There's such a lonely place
Running fast but never moving
I can't get away
Strange but realistic objects
Making me their prey

Then it's gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la, La la la la la

Dining with the gods of beauty
On a distant shore
Tasting fruits of unknown sweetness
Never seen before
Dancing stars with crystal voices
Beckon with their eyes
Unicorn of many colours
Rides to paradise

Then it's gone as fast as it came
Peaceful scene
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem

La la la la, La la la la la
Sleepless nights that last a lifetime
Crucify my head
Dreams of peace and then disaster
Wish that I were dead
Looking for the end of darkness
Seeking out the day
For escape with sweeter thought of
Bearing me away

Then it's gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
La la la la, La la la la la

Come into my dream

"Dreams"

"Dreams"


You should have seen Tuesday's dream, dancing in my head
For you'd have heard a thousand words that nobody had said
And you'd have watched me try to run where dreams have never strayed
Heard my cries because I knew I really was afraid

Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created
Far beyond the thoughts of which we speak, c'mon

And then we danced on silver wings, upon a gilded thread
And heard the song the angel sings to bless my lowered head
And at the door of paradise my best laid plan begun
But as I turned to reach for you my coloured night it was gone

Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created
Far beyond the thoughts of which we speak

And then we danced on silver wings upon a gilded thread
I heard the song the angels sings to bless my lowered head
I'm at the door of paradise my best laid plan begun
But as I turned to reach for you my coloured night it was gone

Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created
Far beyond the thoughts of which we speak

Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet freedom

Dreamer, dreamer
Sweet, sweet freedom

Dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer

"Easy Livin'"

"Easy Livin'"


This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind ya

Easy livin and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'!

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind you

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
