You

You think you can read me
Hold me up to the light and see me, baby
Your innocence trips you up sometimes
I know that you love me
But there's times when you look upon me, I can tell
That you're looking for a sign.

When we were driving by that old hotel
And the sun fell on your face
And I wanted to touch you and tell you how much I care
Well you got to understand, and look much further,
Give up on your silence
But there's no where to go
And with you
I'm going nowhere.

Don't come on like some visionary,
All these things you think I need to see
I just need you now
You can turn the lights down coming through.
So find your own way
Come up for the weekend
Find love out of season, out of time.

You're like a river, running deep, running over the ground
Always out of reach,
So I'm leaving you - I'm caught up in my stride
And everything seems so unreal when there's no place to hide.

Sunday Afternoon

Passed by your doorway, oh it must have been Sunday afternoon
Kicking dust from a night without hope, morning came too soon,
Oh this town has brought you down, or is it something inside?
Have you forgotten how it feels to hold up your head high and know what's right?

There's a cold wind coming, there's a change in the air
And its dark and its lonely when there's no- one there.

Oh I wish for the time when you open your mind and fiy
I think its hard as hell, to see so clearly
To ask and to never get by.
If you just break through, come down and tear the stars from the sky
Oh I'd love to see you walking with your head held high.

Drive on by the corner, go down to the sea
There's always a loner, trying to find all he might have been
Oh this town has brought you down, or is it something deep inside
Have you forgotten how it feels to hold up your head high
And know what's right.

Oh I wish..

No guarantee

Come back to me, I have changed my ways
I'll never do wrong by you till the end of my days
You said that before, and you changed your mind
You broke my trust in you darling, so I left you behind.

Yes I've been cruel, I've given you pain
But just one more chance and I'll never do it again.

Oh you told me last night that you would break free
But that's just a lie, there is no guarantee.

Come back to me, It'll be so good
I'm a new man can't you see I'm just misunderstood.

We've been here before, and you changed your mind
You broke my trust in you darling, so I left you behind.

Oh you told me...

Sleight of hand

Sleight of hand, she moves like fire,
Through the fields that she calls her own.
And nothing can harm her and no-one can touch her,
like ice, like fire, she is shrouded in light,
And with a sigh she greets the morning
And the sunshine.
She is Isis.

She is shadow and sunshine,
And her life reminds me of all that is clear
And with a sigh she greets the morning
And the sunshine
She is Isis.

Sleight of Hand she moves like fire
Through the fields that she calls her own.
And nothing can harm her and no-one can touch her, like ice, like fire
She is shrouded in light
And with a sigh she greets the morning
And the sunshine
She is Isis.

In the morning

You give me the sunshine in the morning
Scatter the mist and the pouring rain
You give me the blue skies, hold off those goodbye's
You are my everything.
You tell me that I'm your one and only
Say that you love me and you'll always be near
I don't want nothing else but what I've got
'Cos you are my everything.

Long time ago I used to play those blues
But now all I feel is lucky.
I've got someone to keep me warm at night
He can hold me tight 'cos he's my baby.

Don't talk to me baby, don't tell me what's on your mind
Just come and find me and lay down beside me
'Cos you are my everything.

Long time ago I used to play ...

Train to nowhere

Come fading sunrise, Monday morning
I can hear the cars go by
And it's late, and I'm thinking
Would it be the same if I took the train to nowhere
To shake off these feelings - here it goes again.

But I think I've got an angel, by my side
And she's giving me directions, when the air is smoky
She's floating the tide, and she's just what I need when I'm falling.

Come fading sunrise, Tuesday morning
I can hear the cars go by
And it's late, and I'm thinking
It's not the same if I take the train to nowhere, to shake off these feelings
here it goes again ...

But I think I've got ...

Slip

I will slip into your mind and hold the fire one more time
Catch your breath as you fall.
And if reason takes my mind to shores so undefined, let me
Go by.

And the trick is to stay so clear
Find another dream, let go of all you fear
And the picture just fades away
Well I've moved off on to different shores and if that ship goes by
Well I won't build that fire, any more.

I will slip into your soul and watch the dust turn into gold
Kiss the smile that fades away
And if sorrow takes my hand, and writes your name in river sand
Let me go by

And the trick is to ...

49 days

So you have come undone, you lost your way and you can't find your way home
Washed out, faded, falling until you call me.

You've got a right to feel lonely, coming home when the lights are gone
Trying to find a connection, wanting to reach someone
Well you can call me.

Soon it'll turn around, so come in, come out of the rain
Oh you've got a right to fall
If you get up again.

49 days go by
Down on your luck and you don't know why
You're washed out, faded, falling, until you call me.

Home

There's a crack in the sky, fading light,
Promise of spring
I watch the rain fall on you
And it feels like nothings changed, and nothing ever will
You always bring me back home.

But when it feels like something left while I was dreaming
I know I can call on you
And when the moon is gone, stay a while until the morning
Stay awhile till the sun comes up again.

I am travelling on some darkening highway and it seems so far from home
And all I need is some kind of sign that this is where I belong
Some times I don't know where I'm going, I can't understand where I've been
And then I need someone to bring me back again.

But when it feels like something left while I was dreaming
I know I can call on you
And when the moon is gone, stay a while until the morning
Stay awhile till the sun comes up again.
