Runaway

There’s a girl I know
She’s only 21
And she seems all alone
All the time
It seems so strange to me
Coz she’s so beautiful
I guess that she’s got something on her mind
To be the one
To rid her of her fears
At least for a while
To face the world for you
Is like staring at the sun
So you run
You run away
Feelings unsung
So much easier to run
So you run
You run away
Maybe she’s
Got many things to deal with
And it seems the pain is easier to hide
I wish that I
Could be the one to know her
To at least find out
What’s going on inside
You bet your life
I would put a hold on mine
To see her smile
To face the world for you
Is like staring at the sun
So you run
You run away
Feelings unsung
So much easier to run
So you run
You run away
You run, you run
Maybe
It’s just a memory
That she can’t face to lose
Maybe
It would bury me
If I were in her shoes
To face the world for you
Is like staring at the sun
So you run
You run away
Feelings unsung
So much easier to run
So you run
You run away
To face the world for you
Is like staring at the sun
So you run, you run away
You run
You run

Golden Days
03:40
|

|
Sometimes I look back
And wish I could rewrite my life
So I would get everything right
Avoid the trial and the strife
People sometimes they say to me, they say to me
They have no regrets
Maybe they are only fooling themselves, fooling themselves
With what they want to forget
And all the mistakes I try to eradicate
I know, it’s over
And all those times when we lost, we lost our ways
Back in the golden days
Some look back they try to justify, they justify
Based on what they know now
But I know they’d have done otherwise, done otherwise
If they had only known how
When they look they always sneak a smile, they sneak a smile
Pretending life didn’t break them
But it’s the sadness I see in those smiles
As they try so hard to fake them
And all the mistakes I try to eradicate
I know, it’s over
And all those times when we lost, we lost our ways
Back in the golden days
Yeah, yeah, it’s your life you’re seeing
Yeah, yeah
Your soul
And all those times we try to eradicate
I know, it’s over
And all those times when we lost, we lost our ways
Back in the golden days

Bravehearts

So it goes
It’s always love that makes us fools
No one knows
Who are we to make the rules
You know damn well
That fortune shines on brave hearts
What in the world were you thinking
If only to save your heart
No more tears tonight
No more fears tonight
No more time for breaking down
No more loneliness
No more past regrets
Now it’s time to make a start
My sweet braveheart
Love is blind
Till you open up yourself
Then you’ll find
You’ll be standing on the shelf
You know damn well
That fortune shines on brave hearts
What in the world were you thinking
If only to save your heart
No more tears tonight
No more fears tonight
No more time for backing down
No more loneliness
No more past regrets
Now it’s time to make a start
My sweet braveheart
Well I swear the time I saw you
Your eyes were made of fire
Yeah and the angel sings
Of broken wings
Having taken your desire
No more tears tonight
No more fears tonight
No more time for backing down
No more loneliness
No more past regrets
Now it’s time to make a start
My sweet braveheart
My sweet braveheart

Wild Romantic
04:38
|

|
she is a wild romantic
in every way
she wants flowers
each and every day
she wants a gentle man
with a gentle way
to let her know
everything’s ok
she’ll never let you forget
she won’t ever let you go
and maybe sometimes you’ll regret
that you don’t let her know
how much you love her so
she doesn’t want
an ordinary affair
you’ll have to show
how much you care
she’ll think of a love story
as you run your hands through her hair
the prince and princess
and pretend that she is there
because you are realistic
you don’t believe in riding on a dream
and you’ll not lose control
however crazy that may seem
and sometimes you’ll let it show
and you’ll let yourself go
coz from time to time
you don’t mind
and these moments will come
like a thundering storm
and your heart might get broken
and battered and torn
and the bows of your ship
will come crashing against the shore
coz those are the moments
she loves you for

Driftwood
05:29

You ask yourself
But you don’t believe you might be wrong
Say that it couldn’t happen to yer
You keep singing the same old song
You change yourself
Who knows what’s going on behind those eyes
Think that you’re still the same
Don’t you tell yourself those lies
Why don’t you drop your guard
Stop playing the part
You might just faintly hear your heart
Like driftwood
Floating across the sea
Like driftwood
Drifting away from me
Drifting on back to me
You hide yourself
Like a face behind a veil
What do you think would happen to yer
Do you think that you might fail
You tire yourself
Looking endlessly for the shore
Think that you’ll find something new
What are you fighting for
Why don’t you drop your guard
Stop playing the part
You might just faintly hear your heart
Like driftwood
Floating across the sea
Like driftwood
Drifting away from me
You’ve gotta come back, back to me yeah
Yeah set your feelings, set your feelings free
Back, back to me
Yeah, set your feelings, set your feelings
Set your feelings free now baby now
Why don’t you hold your course
Keep your feet on the ground
You’ll be surprised at what you’ve found
Like driftwood
Floating across the sea
Like driftwood
Drifting away from me
You’ve got to come back to me

More Than You Know
03:32

Hey darlin’
Listen to me
To what I have to say
A love like this
Don’t often come your way
Without your sunshine
Without your feelings
I’m left out in the cold
Lost at sea
With nowhere left to go
More Than You Know
Every minute of the day
More than I can say
Or can show
More than
Baby you know
Your love came to me
Ran right through me
So much to control
So much more
Than I can show
More Than You Know
Every minute of the day
More than I can say
Or can show
More Than…
More Than You Know
Every minute of the day
More than I can say
Or can show
More than…
Yeah baby more than
Baby you know

To Be There With You
03:09
|
|||
|
No one will take your place
No one’s got your face
No one’s got your smile
I would run for miles
To be there with you
No one’s got your eyes
I just can’t disguise
The way you make me live
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give
To be there with you
And the sun will not shine
As long as you’re not mine
I want all the time
To be there with you
Nothing can be more true
There’s only one like you
The way you make me live
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give
To be there….

Wishing Well
02:59
|

|
The first thing I remember
I was lying in her bed
With eyes like muddy waters
and an axe cut through my head
Lying there just thinking
Got it in a flash
An empty case and a loaded gun
And a pocket full of cash
Paying dues for the deeds I’ve done
When I’m on the road I’m on the run
I survive on the overdrive
When the devil calls I’ve nothing to sell
Last chance on the wishing well
In a fit of desperation
I check numbers on my phone
Working out last night
When I was busy getting stoned
Double up double time
Thinking all the cards I played
A blood red dress and a blood red mess
And a perfect masquerade
Paying dues for the deeds I’ve done
When I’m on the road I’m on the run
I survive on the overdrive
When the devils call there’s nothing to sell
Yes I know that when they find me
They will send me straight to hell
Yes it’s something I’ve known, I’ve known before
Last chance on the wishing well
The wishing well
Another crazy lady is the last thing that I need
It’s always feast or famine but that’s just the life I lead
From the day that I was born I guess it’s just a part of me
A gypsy soul will take its toll but I’ll still be running free

Freedom
02:41
|

|
Thought a lot and it’s passed the test
I am going from east to west
Wanna go wanna earn more pay
I think that it’s for the best
Yeah a friend told me
It’s better out there
He says they really care
It seems too easy, too easy to believe
But I hope he’s right because
I’m gonna leave
Coz I want my Freedom
Go to the other side
To a place where I don’t have to run and hide
Freedom
To do what I please
Get away from this political disease
And now they’ve opened up the gate
I don’t want to be too late
They might just change their mind
Take my kids and wife
Going for a brand new life
Leaving everything else behind
Yeah a friend told me
It’s better out there
He says they really care
It seems too easy, too easy to believe
But I hope he’s right because
I’m gonna leave
Coz I want my Freedom
Go to the other side
To a place where I don’t have to run and hide
Freedom
To do what I please
Get away from this political disease
Freedom
I want my freedom
Freedom
I want my freedom

Why Do Angels Fall
04:43
|
|||
|
When did you decide that you don’t care
You never minded doubters in the air
So why the change of heart on this one
After all that you’ve said and done
You say there is a difference inside you
But you don’t look any different to me
I can’t help remember the time you gave your all
So why do angels fall
If only there could be another way
To live and learn and live another day
Behind the jaded eyes thoughts unseen
Maybe more than it’s ever been
You say there is a difference inside you
But you don’t look any different to me
I can’t help remember the times you gave your all
So why do angels fall
Why do angels fall
Why do angels fall
Why do angels fall
Maybe the dreams are just illusions
based on innocent delusions you’ve had
Well I’d never thought
that all the love you had inside
is like scattered autumn leaves
on the ground
For someone else to find
amongst the lost and found
It seems all too much
and too tough to call
Why the hell do angels have to fall
Why do angels fall
Why do angels fall
Why do angels fall
Why do angels fall
