I said "go if you wanna go, Stay if you wanna stay" I didn't care if you hung around me I didn't care if you went away And I know you were never right I'll admit I was never wrong I could never make up my mind I made it up as I went along And though I treated you like a child I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life All I need is a miracle, all I need is you All I need is a miracle, all I need is you All I need is a miracle, all I need is you I never had any time And I never had any call But I went out of my way just to hurt you, The one I shouldn't hurt at all I thought I was being cool Yeah, I thought I was being strong But it's always the same old story You never know what you've got 'til it's gone If I ever catch up with you I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle) All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle) All I need is a miracle, all I need is you And if I ever catch up with you I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle) All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle) All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle) All I need is a, all I need is a, All I need is you (all I need is a miracle) |

Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder With an aching deep in my heart I wish that we were starting over Oh instead of drifting so far apart Everybody told me you were leaving Funny I should be the last to know Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming I just never want to let you go Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye Turning my heart over and over I never wanted to say goodbye I don't mind everybody laughing But it's enough to make a grown man cry Cos I can feel you slipping through my fingers I don't even know the reason why Every day it's a losing battle Just to smile and hold my head up high Could it be that we belong together Baby won't you give me one more try One more try Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder Oh with an aching feeling inside Cutting me up, deeper and deeper Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed no no it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye |

Now the world is getting older There's a few things to be said Do you believe the things they told you Do you believe the things you've read There's a rumour on the corner But it's always been denied Cause they don't want you any wiser You're just toeing the party line From the west side to the east side From the north side to the south You'll never get bad information If you believe in the word of mouth Look out for those who still want to hang on Look out for those who live in the past Get out and listen to the whisper Because the times are changing fast From the west side to the east side From the north side to the south You'll never get bad information If you believe in the word of mouth You don't believe the information You don't believe it when it's denied So when you're reading explanations You have to read between the lines From the west side to the east side Through the windows I'm looking out You'll never get bad information If you believe in the word of mouth |

Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So Don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be OK. Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye I wasn't there that morning When my Father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye |

And she pours herself another cup of coffee As she contemplates the stain across the wall and it's in between the cleaning and the washing That's when looking back's The hardest part of all And she always did her best to try and please him While he always did his best to make her cry And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye Where are your friends Where are your children Is this your house Is this your home Does nothing ever last forever Does everybody sleep alone And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase As he packs away the pieces of his life They all love him but they always try to change him That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife And she pours herself another cup of coffee As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall and it's in between the leaving and the loving That's when looking back's The hardest part of all Where are your friends Where are your children Is this your house Is this your home Does nothing ever last forever Does everybody sleep alone Don't look back Don't give up Pour yourself another cup |

Take the children and yourself And hide out in the cellar By now the fighting will be close at hand Don't believe the church and state And everything they tell you Believe in me, I'm with the high command Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? There's a gun and ammunition Just inside the doorway Use it only in emergency Better you should pray to God The Father and the Spirit Will guide you and protect from up here Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Swear allegiance to the flag Whatever flag they offer Never hint at what you really feel Teach the children quietly For some day sons and daughters Will rise up and fight while we stood still Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me, can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you? Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?) (Can you hear me) hear me calling you? (Can you hear me running) hear me running babe? (Can you hear me running) hear me running? Calling you, calling you |

There is nothing wrong with me there's nothing wrong with you maybe we're just blind to see each other's point of view. Nobody knows what we had. You could do much better, you could do much worse than me. I could have walked right out on you there was nothing stopping me Nobody knows what we had. We were running of passion we were running out of time there's a face to fit the future there's a face to fit the crime. Now the truth is on the table and the ghost is plain to see there's nothing wrong with you or me. I won't live in your world, you can't live in mine We don't hate each other darlin' we just gave up trying. Nobody knows what we had. Maybe I'm not crying maybe I don't mind But it hurts just knowing your children won't be mine. Nobody knows what we had. |

Taken in, taken in again Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend Caught up in the promises, left out in the end No pride, taken for a ride You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes I want to believe you but you know how to lie And if you say you understand I don't believe it And when you reach out for my hand I don't believe it And if you say you take the blame I don't believe it And if say that nothing's changed I don't believe it, don't believe it Taken in, taken in again Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend There's one born every minute and you're looking at him And if you say you want me near I don't believe it And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it And when you swear that you are mine I don't believe it And it's your heart that's on the line I don't believe it, don't believe it Taken in, taken in again Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend Caught up in the promises, left out in the end No pride, taken for a ride You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes I'd love to believe you but you know how to lie You say you want me near I don't believe it And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it Oh, there's one born every minute, you're looking at him Taken in, taken in again Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend I want to believe you, oh When you say you understand When you reach out for my hand Oh, I wish I could believe you Taken in, taken in again |

I didn't know when I was lucky Discontented feeling bad Filled with envy For possessions other people had I found my pride had always hurt me Fought the world to gain control Not realising I was sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold The problems I encountered Gave me strength helped me sustain To know the pleasure First I had to cure the pain When I was searching for solutions I found the answer lay in me I'm a drifter But I'm drifting on a silver sea Oh lord I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold I didn't have courage My life was as dark as night When alone in the darkness I saw the brightest light Let the light shine down Are you out there now on empty Feel you've nothing left to give Sick of trying Have you lost the will to live? Don't be drowning in the shallows With the beach so near at hand Hear the voice say Stand up get up And join me on the gilded sand Come and join me on the beach With all the riches I can hold Cause I'm a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar I'm sitting on a beach of gold My children my salvation The father to this man They're my teachers Playing on the golden sand With my family all around me I've all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar Sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm a beggar Sitting on a beach of gold |
