Caution
When it comes to love
we see the warning signs,
caution and don’t go there,
but because of who we are,
we ignore them all the time.
We reverse the signs of caution and don’t go there.
Throwing caution to the wind,
we go without a care.
It is only when love dies
and our heart is beyond repair,
do we realise we should have listened
to the warning signs
caution and don’t go there.
Then it is too late
and there is no turning back.
Tears flood our eyes
and sadness fills our heart.
We should always read the signs
and not ignore them all the time.
If it reads caution,
we should tread carefully,
and if reads don’t go there,
we should take its advice
and go elsewhere.

Lovers Walk
I wont walk with my head bowed
(be on) beyond caution where lovers walk
My love walks where threes a crowd
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Lovers walk, lovers scramble
Beyond caution where the lovers walk
Lovers step, shuffle and gamble
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Lovers trip, lovers stumble
Lovers dip, lovers fumble
Lovers lip where love has crumbled
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Lovers strut, lovers stroll, lovers leap
Lovers late, lovers wait
Making promises that they cant keep
Lovers link up arm and arm
Lovers slink up, lovers charm
Lovers drink up and come to harm
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Love is gone and its no ones fault
Love has stopped here, lovers halt
Lovers dont walk, lovers run
Will you look what love has done
Will you look what love has done
Will you look what love has done
Beyond caution where lovers walk
Now loves limping on a lovers crutch
Looking for a hand with a personal touch
Beyond caution where lovers walk

Always Beware
Whenever someone says caution,
we should always beware,
unless they tell us of the danger
we must always take care.
Sometimes it is used for people
whom someone think are a bad lot.
There we must make our own judgement,
and in doing so,
we might leave caution behind.
Therefore, whenever we hear caution,
we should always beware
and take care
until we know
the path we take is clear.

Carefully
I tread carefully,
ot wanted to get hurt.
I walk gracefully,
Scard of falling again.
Everything has to have caution,
From cloudgazing,
to watching the stars above.
But especially use caution
when dealing with love.
I've been hurt to many times to tell,
Crying into my pillow,
wishing them well.I'vebeen hur to many time to tell.
SO tread carefully,
Or you shall get hurt.
Don't touch the fire,
For you could get burnt.
And if there's one thing i learned....
Don't go looking for love..
It will look for you,
Just wait a while and
you will see that's true.
I tread carefully.
Scared.. of gettting hurt.
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

Love Over Gold
You walk out on the high wire
Youre dancer on thin ice
You pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden
But with knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
And you go dancing through doorways
Just to see what you will find
Leaving nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
Youre thrown your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
I takes love over gold
And mind over matter
To do what you to that you must
When the things that you hold
Can fall and be shattered
Or run through your fingers like dust

Signs
Words and music by neil diamond
Signs that burn like shooting stars
That pass across the nighttime skies,
They reach out in their mystic language
For us to read between the lines.
Some are born who would defy them,
Others still who would deny them, signs.
Signs like moments hung suspended,
Echoes just beneath the heart
Speak in voices half remembered
And half forgotten play their part.
Signs that come as we lay sleeping
Left behind for our keeping, signs.
Sail along, sail along the reefs and the coves inside your soul.
Sail along, sail along in search of a star that you can hold.
And we journey far to where that star may lead to (lead to).
Signs that whisper in the dreams of sailors
And of river queens of paupers and of men with means,
It all depends on how it reads.
Some are born who never need them,
Others still who never read them, signs.
Sail along, sail along the reefs and the coves inside your soul.
Sail along, sail along in search of a star that you can hold.
And we journey far to where that star may lead to (lead to).
Signs, signs.
Some are born who never need them,
Others still who never read them, signs.

Signs That Will Never Change
Leaves come falling on a winter's day.
Robins weep and watch them sail away.
Floating on the water is autumns last farewell.
These are signs that will never change,
signs that will never change.
Rivers once were frozen now they're free
Showing winter's going rapidly.
Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell.
These are signs that will never change,
signs that will never change.
The changing faces of the seasons
are those that cannot be compared
Except in love it sometimes happens
love grows but all too soon it dies.
Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell.
These are signs that will never change,
signs that will never change.

Telltale Signs
1: You never send me flowers
You don't wanna hold my hand
When I was sad or lonely
You used to understand
Maybe these are the tell tale signs
Of our love slipping away
2: You never say you love me
You never kiss me anymore
When I come home late
You never meet me at the door
Maybe these are the tell tale signs
Of our love slipping away
3: Anniversaries come and go
They're just another day
Remember when our love was new
The promises we made
Love was so exciting
The feelings were brand new
But that's another place and time
And another you
4: Can there be a happy ending
Is there any turning back
Or have we fallen into
That same old lover's trap
We see all the tell tale signs
Let's stop our love slipping away
We've seen all the tell tale signs
Of our love slipping away

Ain't No Lookin Back
All of your ghosts
Litter the horizon
Glittering carcasses
I guess that makes twice then
Just like your daisies
And all of your buffallo
You dont worry
The children will mend what you tore
You dress yourself in sharkbites
You kill yourself in spoonfuls
You damn all the beehives
You make love to potholes
Your attention is a junkie
It has a wandering vien
And all of your thoughtlessness
Is dried up rain
Aint no lookin back, now---is there kid?
You always look to the west
You throw caution to the wind
You're on a one way track
But you cant buy caution back---can you kid?
You killed a man
Because you made him borrow
One suicide is made up
Of ten thousand tiny sorrows
America's great
Its the land of the free
We're so independant
That we forgot how to breathe
Aint no lookin back, now---is there kid?
You always look to the west
You throw caution to the wind
You're on a one way track
But you cant buy caution back---can you kid?
Show me one hero
Who ain't afraid of fear
Show me one adult
That knows how to hear
"we are the future"
At least thats what you said
I wanna know:
Who's the hope of today?
There's no lookin back now for you---is there kid?
All of your ghosts
Litter the horizon
Glittering carcasses
I guess that makes twice then
Just like your daisies
And all of your buffallo
You dont worry
The children will mend what you tore

The Fairest Of The Seasons
Now that its time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that its real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting
Now that Ive tried
Now that Ive finally found that this is not the way
Now that I turn
Now that I feel its time to spend the night away
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rind
And do I really understand the undernetting
Yes and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me to read the signs carefully
Now that its love
Now that the candles falling smaller in my mind
Now that its here
Now that Im almost not so very far behind
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe fall another side
And do I really have a sound that I can ride on
Now that I can
Now that its easy ever easy all around
Now that Im near
Now that Im falling to the sunlights and to song
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason
Yes and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me to read the signs oh carefully
Now that I smile
Now that Im laughing even deeper in the side
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That Ill be leaving in the fairest of the seasons

Signs On The Sky
People walk up and down the streets
They exist but their hearts don't beat
Empty eyes drawing border lines
Faces fade as you try to give a sign
Signs appear - written on the sky
They don't care as they're walking by
Is there no one to take them down
Take them down to earth for you and me?
Signs on the sky -
Tell me why don't you read them?
Signs on the sky -
Tell me what you believe in
There's no use waiting for the one
As the time goes on and on
When the night comes over you
You're the only judge of what is true
There's a road you can only find
Turning round, leaving all behind
And if you can break the seal
Everything you dream of will be real

The Courage To Be Human
have caution
and this is another irony
have caution about what we must say
in whispers
in baited breaths
so the gods may not be offended
so we shall not be hit with their lightning rods
reducing us all
into ashes
it is enough
this cautioning is over
i shall confront the gods and demigods
about this and that
this that emaciates me
that which
makes a scarecrow of me
that which makes nothing of men
but hays and rags
and rotten eggs
and dusty fields.

Deep Waters
(j.p. maunick/r. bull)
Is it a crime
For me to be feeling this way
Im going out of my mind
And theres no change from my runaway love
Is it a dream (is it a dream)
That Im throwing in the wishing well
Im losin control
Body and soul (body and soul)
Standin here waiting for a train that may never come
I saw the signs
Id read the book
I should have had a second look
But, boy you caught me dreamin
And there were times youd come around
And wed agree just to be friends
Tell me who was foolin who
Chorus:
Deep waters, Im drownin in
Deep waters, slowly drownin in deeper
Deep waters, Im drownin in
Deep waters, slowly drownin in deeper
What do I say, what can I say
Where words have failed me before
What do I do, when Im feeling so blue
And theres no place, for me to run and hide
I saw the sun inside your smile
And wished for more than just a while
Cause, boy you caught me dreaming
A giant step into the dark
We threw caution to the wind
Tell me who was fooling who
Chorus
(Im drownin)
(deeper, deeper, deeper)
(Im drownin in deeper)
Oh, I saw the signs
I read the book
I should have had a second look
cos, boy you caught me dreamin
And there were times youd come around
And wed agree just to be friends
Tell me who was fooling, fooling who

Signs
You're weighed down with regret
You can't see the road ahead
Or the burden on your back
It seems the trek will never end
The winding paths that still descend
And up above a sky washed black
You just can't bear to look at that
Chorus:
Follow the signs
Open your eyes
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Open your mind
Look at the signs
Never look back at yesterday
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way
Now you've found the sacred tree
You kneel upon the broken wheat
You watch your burden fall away
And all the things you once sought
Now are counted less than lost
For now you see the light of day
The signs were pointing all the way
Repeat chorus
Follow the signs
Follow the signs
Open your eyes
Look at the signs
Open your mind
Follow the signs
Repeat chorus

Man Turned Inside Out
If you ever had a clue
You never acted like you knew
When you took away the reasons
And you chopped my heart in two
Once you start to doubt
When you dont know what its about
Its time to read the warning signs
Of a man turned inside out
For a guy needs a good reason
Something to prod him on
When you chopped me up like liver
It all started going wrong
So I bought a fiberglass helmet and
Some goggles to match
Im a human bullet baby
And you havent seen the last
Of a man turned inside out
Im a man turned inside out
So I got myself a position
And Im working my way up
Took a three way lucky number
Now Im heading to the top
Once you start to doubt
When you dont know what its about
Its time to read the warning signs
Of a man turned inside out

The Road
I've walked the road for quite a while,
Through weather bad and weather fair;
Through foreign lands in self exile
And then back home for mile on mile,
And when I've taken time to care
I've stopped and rested here and there.
And while my eyes were kept ahead
And didn't stray to look behind
I clearly saw the signs that lead
To places strange, and these I read;
The signs these places, clear defined;
Some roads I took and some declined.
But when distracted by the past
These signs I missed and never read
And so the dice of fate were cast
And I by turns to better passed.
The road leads on, a winding thread;
I gaze ahead as on I tread.

With Caution
it is with caution now
that i look at your face
and figure out the
real meaning of your
smile and frown
how you appear
like a dove and in
a minute change
into a fox is a
phenomenon that
i have learned to
live with
how you devour me
like you were
leviathan and then
spit me like i am
the modern jonah
is a miracle that i
must not forget
how you have become
a god of demigods
how you manage to
make and unmake me
these i have learned
with so much pain
and humiliation
now, i am invisible
with all caution
i have also learned
the art of the chameleon
what color do you see
when i turn into someone
not me? what ill wind do you
feel when i also turn
invisible, divisible, and into
someone impossible?

Shouldve Been The One
My baby, shouldve been the one
Last night I was so scared I couldnt close my eyes
You still live in me
Some how I made it through the night
Rescued by the break of day, once again
I know someones in your heart, its pulling me apart
But I guess Im the one to blame (its so hard)
And its so hard (so hard) holding back the tears now youve
Dissapeared
How I long to hold you near
Chorus:
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one thats feeling proud
I failed you now
Oh I shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I see you, laughing out loud standing in the crowd
The same crowd I used to know
But its too late now to change anything
Ive lost everything
Gotta learn to let you go
Chorus
I shouldve been the light in your eyes (shouldve been the light)
Shouldve been the fire in your smile (shouldve been the fire)
I shouldve been your spirit and your guide
I wonder do you think of me? (do you think of me? )
Maybe you shed a tear for me (shed a tear for me)
I realise I paid the price but nothings gonna change the way I fell
For
You
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one whos feeling proud
Girl Ive failed you now
Shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I know I let you down, baby had to fool around
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one whos feeling proud
I failed you now
I shouldve read the signs, baby shouldve realised
Oh I shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I know I let you down, baby had to fool around.
