From the Inside

Like a star in the midnight sky
Your love was there to guide me
When I was weak, too weak to try
You were there right beside me
Urging me on, making me strong
You keep saying: go on, girl
You can do it
It's only life
There's nothing to it
It's just a seeing through it from the inside
Spread my wings and left the nest
Swearing, nothing bad get by me
I tasted love and I tasted life
But not enough to satisfy me
Urging me on, making me strong
Heard you saying: go on, girl
You can do it
It's only life
There's nothing to it
It's just a seeing through it from the inside
Like a star in the midnight sky
That fades into the morning
Came back to show you how I could fly
But you had gone without a warning
Ring the ring on, making me strong
Heard you saying: go on, girl
You can do it
It's only life
There's nothing to it
It's just a seeing through it from the inside

Best of My Love
03:39
|
|||
|
Every night I'm lyin' there
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
Comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you would try
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
No, but
Here in my heart, I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
I'm goin' back in time, and it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night, and I would be alright
If I could go to sleep there
But every morning, I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way, and I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always have each other, baby
I guess it wasn't enough, no no no, but
Here in my heart, I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love, best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love, you get the best of my love

Somewhere In The Night
03:51
|
|||
|
Time you found time enough to love
I found love enough to hold you tonight
I'll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Laying beside you
Lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
Come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You're my song
Music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Loving so warm
Moving so right
Closing our eyes
And feeling the light
We'll just go on
Burning bright
Somewhere in the night
You'll sleep when the morning comes
And I'll lie and watch you sleeping
And you'll smile
When you dream about the night
Like it's a secret you've been keeping
Laying beside you
Lost in a feeling
So glad you opened my door
Come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You're my song
Music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Loving so warm
Moving so right
Closing our eyes
And feeling the light
We'll just go on
Burning bright
Somewhere in the night

Bad Weather
03:32
|
|||
|
And every day that passes us by,
I can't help the feeling that you and I...
We won't see another day together,
Looks like bad weather.
And I can see it all there in your eyes.
And it comes to me as no surprise, no.
You don't need me here no more,
Your feeling tells the score.
Words, they're getting hard for me to find.
You go and you take me by the hand, and you're leaving me blind.
And every day that passes us by,
I can't help the feeling that you and I,
We won't see another day together,
Looks like bad weather, yes it does,
And I believe it's gonna rain (I believe it's gonna rain)
Words, they're getting hard for me to find.
Oh! You take me by the hand, and you're leading me blind!
And every day that passes us by, yeah.
I can't help the feeling that you and I,
Uh-we won't see another day together,
Looks like bad weather.
Yes, it does, and I believe it's gonna rain. (I believe it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain,
Yes it is.
Ooooh, Ooooh.

Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Daddy, let your mind roll on
Daddy, let your mind roll on

Steady As You Go
03:04
|

Steady as you go,
Check your step, before you fall too low.
Wings don't grow.
Honey is a fool with his hands tied,
to a bottle of the old out cold,
gonna haul him in.
He ain't gonna win.
Suckin' up the juice,
grabbing on to what you know makes you loose!
Tighten the noose,
Around the head that is ringing,
doesn't even know what he's feeling
Gonna get hung,
swallow ya toungue!
Fire water, Spike it with some ice,
and create your favorite sociable stew.
Times goes past, glass after glass
Flat on your back is where you find you've fallen to
Honey, coz it creeps up on you.
Hang up your brain!
Stop B-lioning drinks and let it drain,
But your heads in pain!
So you brew a bloody mary,
and with upon a fairy!
You can't ask, 'will it be my last?'
OR will I go, as a dead out cold?
Will I go as a dead out cold x 3
Steady as you Go [Until Fade Out]

Has anybody got the guts to take a glance
And the comfortable rut we're digging?
We're shuffling along, blind to it all
The footpaths we take grow so familiar
Ignoring the disfigured bodies dying
Oh lord it's a crime
Oh lord it's a shame
Now Who is gonna save the world?
I can't think about the way
We just just around and say
Now who is gonna save the world?
It's a shot in the dark
But I think we got a part to play
Ehyeay
I haven't got the time to take the time
To be a martyr and a winder to wind up our misgivings
To count all the wrongs, and sing them in song
Instead I choose the life of a carefree
Admitting as much, but not bearing to touch what could hurt me
Oh lord of the holy three
You've waited to long
Coz WHO is gonna save the world?
I can't think about the way
We just sit around and say
Now WHO is gonna save the world?
It's a shot in the dark
But I think we got a part to play
Yeah x 3
(Try to save the world you know we got to, we got to...) repeat and FADE OUT

Small Town Talk
03:25
|
|||
|
It's all small town talk, you know how people are
They can't stand to see someone else doing what they like to
It's all small town talk, you mustn't pay no mind
Don't believe a word, they'll try to do it every time
You can't believe everything you hear
And only half of what you see
And if you're gonna believe in anyone
You gotta believe in me
It's all small town talk, and it's a well known fact
You don't ever know how one might react to what you're thinking
And it's small town talk, they tell a lot of lies
Make some people crazy never realize that they're sinking
We're only two people, trying to live together
Trying to make something work
Who are we to judge one another?
That could cause a lot of hurt
It's all small town talk, you know how people are
They can't stand to see, someone else doing what they want to
It's all small town talk, you mustn't pay no mind
Don't believe a word, they'll try to do it every time

If You Walked Away
03:03
|
|||
|
If you walked away from me today
I am sure that who you were going to
Would feel the way as I do
Baby it's you
Who fills up my life
And if you walked away from me today
It wouldn't change a thing
I'd still be singing celebration of you
Baby you do, you fill up my life
Fill my life
Till now
No one's been able to show me how
To fill my life like you
You are the one who taught me to
And if you walked away from me today
Never to return until the journey
That you made had ended
I know you planned it
Just to fill up my life
Fill my life
Now I know
What it feels like to overflow
Until my life is through
All I'm here for is here for you
Only for you

Sweeter Memories
03:45
|
|||
|
There's a cloud in the sky
And it's raining on you
So you try to keep dry
But your troubles lead you too.
And you lost, all that could,
Feeling sad, choose your reverie
Keep the good, keep the bad,
Take a few of these, Sweeter Memories
Don't forget them please, Sweeter memories
set your mind at ease, with the truest remedies,
are the sweeter memories.
There's a life, full of hurt, and a life full of glee
So you see that the rain doesn't mean much to me
For I know that it pays
Making light of living's tragedies,
May your days be as bright,
Take a few of these, sweeter memories
don't forget them please, sweeter memories
set your mind at ease,
'Cause the truest remedies are the sweeter memories.
