AA2LA

When I was young I was afraid that I was your greatest mistake. Though I often thought of you to be so lovely and kind I know now that I was blind. They say that broken hearts can mend that time is all it takes in the end. Well toast one to forgiveness and one to the truth cos tonight I leave my broken heart to you. You walked right on by not a tear in your eye. I wonder, do you remember who I am. There’s no need to explain why you left me in the rain. I know now that I am strong. They say that broken hearts can mend that time is all it takes in the end. Well toast one to forgiveness and one to the truth cos tonight I leave my broken heart to you. They say that broken hearts can mend that time is all it takes in the end. Well toast one to forgiveness and one to the truth cos tonight I leave my broken heart to you.

FIND ME

What goes on inside. Inside that big ‘ol head of yours in the night. I may not be the one you dream of, but that’s alright. Is she the one who stole your heart and left you with all of those big black scars? I’d say I’d be the one to heal you, but I’d be a liar. It’s not easy to over come all the pain caused by a love undone. But in the end I know when the time is right, you’ll come find me, find me in the night. It’s getting late the night is almost through as our eyes meet across the crowded room. I know it’s your heart you’re scared to lend, but don’t, no don’t pretend. No, no, don’t pretend. Cos it’s not easy to overcome all the pain caused by a love undone. But in the end I know when the time is right, you’ll come find me, find me in the night. So it’s the end, and the time is right. Come find me, find me in the night. Come find me, find me in the night. Come find me, find me in the night.

MODERN DAY GYPSY

Took the backroads through Oklahoma, saw the world end on a TV screen. Wiped the blood spilled from my heart and tried to live clean. Laid the bones of indecision, went back and forth and round the bend. For all I’ve seen and all I’ve witnessed, surely time would mend. I’m just a little modern day gypsy findin’ my way across the land. It makes no difference what I’m after, only where I stand. Took a plane ride across an ocean, saw the world die from a TV screen. Wiped the fear from my brow and tried not to scream. Lost my way at the circus. No one can tell you when you’re wrong. Went from diamonds to steel and platinum, and I wound up in a song. I’m just a little modern day gypsy findin’ my way across the land. It makes no difference what I’m after, only where I stand, only where I stand. No one can find a falter with an open conscious mind. I cannot live in silence. No, this is the time to find love, to find the way to love. Took the 1 Train to see destruction, saw the world cry in the TV screen. Lit a fire on a wayward mountain to give the world a light to see. I’m just a little modern day gypsy findin’ my way across the land. It makes no difference what I’m after, only where I stand, only where I stand. No one can find a falter with an open conscious mind. I cannot live in silence. No, this is the time to find love, to be the way to love.

ASK WHY

I feel the weight of my own skin, and I ask myself when is life to begin. As I watch the sun sink low in the sky, I ask why. Why does my heart feel so alone? Why is it hard to feel that this is my home? I cannot believe in all that I see, but oh, I believe in me. There is a place beyond this life where angels sleep and never every cry. Oh, but I am here in this life, and I ask why. Why does my heart feel so alone? Why is it hard to feel that this is my home? I cannot believe in all that I see, but oh, I believe in me. Cos no one can feel my pain, no, only I can find the sunshine through the rain. So I be. Let it be to set me free, cos oh, I believe in my. Oh, I believe in me.

STILL

I sit alone in my room. Bugs beat against the window sill. I don’t know where I’m going to, but I know my heart loves you still. The clouds break in the sky, and I see the color of your eyes. And I wonder how I’ll ever live without your fingertips in mine. Still breaks the water’s glass surface. My loneliness rings true. Still cuts the throat of my existence, and I long to be with you, still. And I know this journey’s just a part of some perfect plan that needless sorrow fills this empty hand. And I should just smile and live my life today even though forever’s a teardrop away.

RUNNIN’

Maybe sometimes it is true. They say that love is for the fool, but when you’re in it, you’re really free. It may be crazy, but I believe we are only what we see, and I see the light. And I see you in my dreams, so I am runnin’, runnin’, runnin’. Thought my heart had seen too much pain that I’d live forever inside the rain that life meant only suffering. Double years found me on my own molding clay into a brand new soul of love out of nothing. Then I seen you in the starlight, so I al runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ to you, to you, to you. Only time will tell how much we’ll grow. But life is choice, oh baby, this I know, and I choose the light. Lazy days may come again, but to judge them wrong is all I know of sin. And love is free. And I see you making my dreams come true so I am runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ to you, to you, to you.

MAYBE TODAY

Maybe someday I will write a song. Maybe someday it won’t feel so wrong. Maybe someday I will find my way. Maybe, maybe today. Something is happening in the big blue sky. I’m dreaming I’m floating on by. Got my hero suit on, and my, my magic wand is, is kissing the world with love. But something’s got a hold of me as I cry here tonight rocking with my knees. I wanna give up, want to give in tonight. Oh, but I know I can’t, I know I gotta fight, gotta fight, gotta fight for what’s mine. Maybe someday I will set my mind free. Maybe someday I will finally like me. Ain’t got nowhere left to run and the, the sinking sun is setting on my world of shame as I find that bow of rain. Maybe someday I will find my way. Maybe, maybe today. Maybe, maybe today. Maybe, maybe today. Maybe, maybe today.

REFUGE

You ask me why I’m leaving, can’t ell yo uno lies. I’m sick of all this deceiving, I gotta fly, fly, fly. You say my past is something that I hold onto tight. Like the past is a bad thing. Well, it’s mine I’ve earned the right to live any way I want to live. Forever’s not a lonely road even when I’m alone. I’ve got my faith and music leads me home, home, home. Won’t you see through my eyes? I’ll try to wear your shoes. Our heaven’s in the sunrise of the new world we choose. Be my refuge, be mine tonight, and together we will find all the good in this life. You ask me why I’m leaving, so I sing you this song. A life is in the making, don’t think I’m wrong. If wishes were horses, we’d all take a ride and find that love we’re after is waiting inside. Be my refuge, be mind tonight. Keep me safe from the darkness, and hold me tight. Be my refuge and love me tonight. And together we will find all the good in this life.

ANOTHER CHANCE

I’m off on a gravelly road again. My story’s too much of me, I dive in the quiet reservation of the darkened planet called the past, but nothing lasts. Moments gone by in a flicker, and I wander as I snicker. So from this shy city I shall start again. Carry me away on your shoulders. Cheer a thousand happy cries. Whisper my name in vain, just tell me no more lies. I cannot find a reason for your tongue-tied obsession. Peace of heart, piece of mind, where to find? A lonely night lost a stolen glance. Around the corner, another chance, another chance. I seek not revolution, nor war, nor uprising. Out of love, I proceed willingly. So you’re looking for a savior? Well, I’ll show you your own heart.

LET YOU IN

Someone said I love you, and took my little hand. Someone said I need you, and I’ll fight for you ‘til the end. Out of the darkness, I had a brand new friend. Someone said I love you, and I hope you understand that sometimes it’s hard to let you in. Do I need ask forgiveness for the way that I am? Or simply make allowances for limitations of man? Or dare I live in silence when you ask me to give in? Well someone said I love you. God, I hope it’s not pretend. Sometimes it’s hard to let you in, to let you in. I swear this life’s not in vain though troubles never end cos someone said I love you and I’ll fight for you, I’ll fight for you ‘til the end.

SAVE MY SOUL

Baby, baby, got you on my mind. Thinking nothing but you and the rest of my life. When I’m in your arms, all my sadness dies, and my path is clear, got nothing left to fear. When you’re around, I know you’re gonna save my soul. Baby, baby, something’s happening to me. I’ve spent most of my life trying to stay so free. Oh, but when I’m in your arms, I feel more alive than I have alone in such a long, long time. When you’re around I know you’re gonna save my soul. Baby, baby what you gonna do when I lay it all out and say I love you? Oh cos when I’m in your arms, I get to be the truth I’ve always known inside but been afraid to set free. When you’re around I know you’re gonna save my soul, gonna save my soul, you’re gonna save my soul. When you’re alone, I will be there for you and bring you back home and show you my love again. When you ever need a friend… I will be there, don’t fear, I’ll come for you. Through all the years, I will be there for you. For every tear you cry, I’m gonna wipe it dry. When you’re alone, I will be there for you and bring you back home and show you my love again. For every tear you cry, I’m gonna wipe it dry.

TAKE IT ALL

Long time coming, and I have found my home inside your eyes, and it makes me smile. It’s been a while now, been looking for a way back home. Moonlit nights of the jet set life, but I have been all alone til you came into my world and changed everything. Never knew taking time off for love could feel so fine that I’d sigh. Life on the road with you, I feel such freedom just singing my songs with nothing wrong and loving you all the while. But now, it’s time to say goodby, at least for now. Take my heart, take it all. Take me, save me, won’t you hold me as I start to fall in love. Take it all. It’s been too long now since I’ve heard your call. Been racing my mind trying to find the reason, well, any at all. Am I crazy in love or just crazy? Remembering planes and railed coach trains and driving all night through the pouring rain. Oh please, come back into my world and change everything. Take my heart, take it all. Take me, save me, won’t you hold me as I start to fall in love. Take it all. Take my heart, take it all. Take me, save me, try and hold me as I start to fall in love. Take it all.

IT’LL COME

Out of all my scattered dreams, there is you. I hope you’ll see that I want nothing more than you to feel loved and be at peace. So let the music bring us together so our hearts, they can believe that all we really need – well, it’ll come to me. I’ve been alone so many years that I’ve often disappeared. But then I found what I’d hid inside buried deep beneath the lies: that the music brings us together, and our hearts, they can believe that all we really need – well, it’ll come to me. It’s gonna be another day without you, I can tell. Bit I know my heart is strong for to you, I belong. So let the music bring us together and our hearts, they will believe that love is all we need. Let it come to be. Yeah, let love come. Cos it’s all we need. So let love come. Let it come to be. And love will come, come to be. Love is all we need. Love is all we need. Love is all we need. Love is all we need. Love is all we need.
