Standing on the highway
Watchin' all the cars go by I've been searching the horizon Wind is blowing dust in my eyes You've been gone such a very long time Seems like a hundred years have passed I left my heart down at the pawnshop Can't afford it anymore, no more Now I'm feeling such a space inside of me Every time there's someone at the door I'm not living till I hear you on the line and then you got to fly so very fast Ooh, waiting on a word Ooh, fires still burning Ooh, baby turn around Ooh, you gotta Come on home All those promises That we drove Together With nowhere to go Well we started out so fine Now the flame is all but dying Ooh, waiting on a word... |

Ships in the night
Searching for day Beckoning lips So far away Shadows adrift Hiding from light Ships in the night Sometimes you feel Then again you can't Morning comes down Soon after the dance Time slowly drowns Streets so unreal Needing to heal Harbours of love Shining so calm Far beyond pain Outside of harm Why must we move Into the rain Again... Ships in the night Riding the waves Yesterday slips Into the haze Memories ripped Sliding from sight Ships in the night Maybe you win, Maybe you lose Future seems like Just another ruse Sirens invite Us to begin Come right on in Harbours of love Shining so calm Far beyond pain Outside of harm Why must we move Out of the sun Into the rain Again... |

One summer day she went away
She's gone and left me She's gone to stay She's gone But I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world All last summer worked on this farm Had to take Christmas in my overalls She's gone But I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world Going down to the freight yard Going to catch me a freight train I'm going to leave this town Work done got too hard She's gone But I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world Sitting on top of the world x 2 |

There's got to be a way of gettin out this place we find we're in
There's got to be a way of getting out this bloody mess we're in Take my wife ? please She's down on her blistered knees She's dreamin' of a house called Heart's Ease Why don't you seas come down And take back what you spawned anyway There's got to be a time when we can get together natur'ly There's got to be a time when we can all be brothers and be free There's got to be a day when there is enough love for you and me We're gonna take the world and shake the world and what will be is gonna be Take my life now Time is tight now Touch the sky now Children of the rainbow Livin' in a house called Heart's Ease Why don't you seas come down And take back what you spawned anyway Take my heart now Feed us kids now Touch the sky now Children of the rainbow Children of tomorrow Children of tomorrow Livin' in a house called Heart's Ease Why don't you seas come down And take back what you spawned anyway |

You asked me to a party
to a house just by the moon You gave me silver loving the end was all too soon You asked me to the theatre in a place quite near the sun You gave me golden sunbeams you act was all in fun Rope ladder to moon! You asked me to a meeting in a cottage in the snow You gave me central heating I can't forget the glow You asked me to a weekend down by the stormy sea You took me to a ceremony and the sacrifice ? was me! You asked me to a stromcloud up near the rainbow's end Then you threw away the ladder and gave me to your friend You took me to a prison and you said its chief was me Then you locked me deep inside you and thew away the key Rope ladder to the moon! |

She shakes her head and says
That her last word is spoken Tumbling down Something she found Where happiness lay Not far away Hear it now You got so many ways When the last chains are broken Tumbling down You hear a new sound It's dark into day not far away Hear it now When summer leaves The tangles that it weaves are floating in the wind Hard to begin To get back in You stay but it's never in only one piece You got to find release He runs away and plays his laughter's just awoken Tumbling down The eyes of a clown And truth sings today Not far away Hear it now |

If you can take a part of time and bend it back again
Maybe change all the tears all the fallen years Will you be there in the night? When the shadows of our fantasies stand around with keys Unreal suns might dance across the floor Unsung songs sing themselves once more If two can sail on a ship On the sea 'Til we cross the line never giving in Walking in weather where lies won't shine Will you be there in the morning? Still organising that four or five sizes can be worn In the storm (I knew all along I knew we could drive these blues & broken days away. We're in the open now!) We can fly. |
