It's Only Because of You
I'm a canary trapped in my cage.
I'm the words not on a page.
I'm a leafless tree in the fall.
I'm Cinderella left at the ball.
But I know this can't be true
and it's only because of you,
only because of you.
*** So I will change my ways
until I'm free again.
I will change these days
and let these feelings end.
I'm the desert without any rain.
I'm the thoughts I can't explain.
I'm the wind that has no sound.
I'm the fish afraid to drown
But I know this can't be true
and it's only because of you,
only because of you.

All I Am
I am a canary trapped in a cage.
I am the words not on a page.
I am the body showing its age.
I should not fret. It's just a stage.
I am the leafless tree in the fall.
I am the Cinderella left at the Ball.
I am the echo that's lost its call.
I should not fret. I've seen it all.
I am the desert without any rain.
I am the soul that feels your pain.
I am the thoughts I can't explain.
I should not fret or ever complain.
I am the wind that has no sound.
I am the fish afraid to drown.
I am the lover waiting to be found.
I should not fret. I'm still around.
I am.

Get Over You
Get Over You"
I can remember the day and time that we broke up
It was December and the holidays were coming up
I didnt expect to loose all of the time I shared with you
But now that its gone I find myself longing for you
[Pre-Chorus]
No doubt about it Im sorry for the way things worked out
If I could change it I would change it but I dont know how
Oooooooooooooooooo
(No I cant aint no need to cry when I know the reason why)
You chose to leave me but I still wish you were here with me
[Chorus]
Its true I cant get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I cant get over you
I can remember calling your phone and hanging up
Cause I was to afraid to talk, if by chance you picked it up
But now that I done thought about it,
Id feel better if we talk about it
And let you know whats on my mind
See I wanna try to make things right.
[Repeat Prelude]
[Repeat Chorus]
Lately Ive been doing some reminiscing
Id be lying if I said that I dont miss you
I have feelings from deep in the past
Cause now I need you back
It wasnt so bad
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
I cant get over you
I cant get over you
No I cant get over
Said no way I cant get over
I cant get over you
Alright yea yea

You Temp Me so
You temp me so to change my ways,
like a leaf true does change color.
But also they do fall away,
so the tree can bloom another.
You temp me so to change my ways,
like a rock the flow of streams.
But without the nourishment of rain,
becomes the driest of all things.
You temp me so to change my ways,
like the circle of the wind.
Never knowing where it starts,
or where its breeze will end.
You temp me so to change my ways,
to your lover from your friend.
These are the hardest words to say,
you temp me so to change my ways.

Ill Try
Here we are
Talkin? bout forever
Both know damn well
Its not easy together
Weve both felt love
Weve both felt pain
Ill take the sunshine
Over the rain
Chorus
And Ill try
To love only you
And Ill try
My best to be true
Oh darlin? Ill try
So Im not scared
Its worth a chance to me
Take my hand
Lets face eternity
Well I cant tell you
That Ill never change
But I can swear
That in every way
Repeat chorus
Im not perfect
Just another man
But I will give you
All that I am

To be true to you

Ill try
To always love you

Leave Right Now
I'm here just like I said
Though its breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I can never now be true
So I say...
Chorus:
I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs, at least I'm spared the lows
Bridge
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm
So I say..
Repeat Chorus
I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say you're right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again
Repeat Chorus
Yes I will...

Midnight Blue
I see the lonely road that leads so far away,
I see the distant lights that left behind the day
But what I see is so much more than I can say
And I see you midnight blue.
I see you cryin now youve found a lot of pain,
And what youre searchin for can never be the same,
But whats the difference cos they say whats in a name.
And I see you midnight blue.
Chorus
I will love you tonight,and I will stay
By your side,lovin you,Im feelin midnight blue.
I see you standing there far out along the way,
I want to touch you but the night becomes the day,
I count the words that I am never gonna say
And I see you midnight blue.
Repeat chorus
Cant you feel the love that Im offering you,
Cant you see how its meant to be,
Cant you hear the words that Im saying to you,
Cant you believe like I believe,
Its only one and one its true
Still I see you midnight blue.
I see beautiful days and I feel beautiful ways
Of loving you,everythings midnight blue.

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Sorrow About To Fall
Theres a silence in the city
Theres nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground.
Theres a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show.
Chorus:
Theres a sorrow about to fall
Theres a sorrow about to fall.
Theres a new sound in the wires
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around.
Something happened to the seasons
Started falling with the rain
And something changed forever
We gotta find a way.
Repeat chorus
Theres people in the photographs
But they all had to run
They went away to somewhere
Beyond the setting sun.
Repeat chorus

Sorrow about to fall, fall, fall, fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall...

Happy People
Take no notice cos Im just the same
Theres a thousand other faces with the very same name
And we look like each other, and we all live together.
We talk about the same things
And we never try and change things.
(chorus)
Were the happy, happy people
(repeat)
We never give opinions and we never state views
After all, you cant be sure that what we say is true
And if you want to join us, you can follow on behind us.
You can talk about your visions
You can make some big decisions.
(chorus repeat)
We believe in having fun and smiling all the time
And sometimes were on tv if were over 69
And when we have a raffle, then its just a big reshuffle.
Its a democratic poll
But were the ones who are in control.

So Unreal With You
I can't explain just how I feel
'Cause how I feel is so unreal.
I try to tell you but you just steal
all those words I can't reveal
'cause how I feel is so unreal
with you,
Every time we are apart
all those feelings in my heart
get all mixed up. I don't know why?
And that's why I feel
so unreal with you.
*** The sun has lost its glow
But the moon still lets me know
that I'm breathing just for you.
If I had my way with you
all my words would be taboo.
But all my words are deep inside
where all my thoughts of you reside
about how I feel so unreal
with you.
REPEAT *** with changed ending
So I'm breathing just for you
and h
'Cause how I feel is so unreal.
I try to tell you but you just steal
all those words I can't reveal

Every time we are apart

And that's why I feel

Sonnet: God’s Love and Scriptures- Will Not Change
The world of men, women and children, change;
Their food-habits and dressing styles may change;
Their ways of talking, walking, laughing, change;
But Bible’s words are true and never change!
Man’s outlook and his sense of values change;
The weather, climate, seasons also change;
The water of rivers and seas may change,
But Scripture’s words are true and never change!
Man’s needs in life and ambitions may change
Man’s occupations, moral values, change
Man’s goals and approaches also may change,
But Holy Scripture’s words will never change.
The devils too, their tempting tactics, change;
God’s love for man is same and will not change.

Oh, I know its strange
But I think that its about to change
So Ill take the chance
To get back into the straight again
Chorus:
Heaven only knows (Im really on the level)
Heaven only knows (Im trying to find a way)
Heaven only knows (Im walking down the straight & lonely road today)

Now the sun will shine
And Im gonna work it out this time
And before the light
All I gotta take is one more night.

You can change your mind
But you never change the price.

The World Is Changing Hands
There is a war going on,
A spiritual change,
There is a world going wrong,
Dont ya wanna run away and hide,
And it seems so hard.
Were on a psychic battlefield,
Fighting for our souls,
To make us free,
You and me.
Chorus
The world is changing hands,
There will be a bright tomorrow,
The world is in our hands,
We are spirit,
We are free.
Repeat
There is a world going on,
And it wont go away,
There is a love going on,
Thats stronger than all these silly words
I say,
Yes its true.
Think of the most selfless thing to be,
Send it,
To the whole humanity,
You and me.
Chorus
The world is changing hands,
There will be a bright tomorrow,
The world is in our hands,
We are spirit,
We are free.

Cover Up
Cover up
With loving protection
Guard your love
In every direction CHORUS
Don't give up
For fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection
Run away my sister and brother
Be afraid of love when the lover VERSE 1
Tries to read the book by the cover
Wrapped up in the arms of another
(Repeat chorus)
Cover up prolonging the yearning
Just ahead the fires are burning VERSE 2
Swim for shore the tides are now turning
Love the ones you love with your learning
(Repeat chorus)
Look ahead the futures depending
On the brave to now start defending VERSE 3
Tell the world the message you're sending
We don't need an unhappy ending

Got to be safe if you want to be free BRIDGE
To sit in the shade of the family tree

Anyone Can Do The Heartbreak
Take another step
tell another lie
hide another tear
in the corner of your eye
I don't understand
what kind of game is this we're playing
dancin' in the dark
shadow's in the night
slowly going wrong
trying to make it right
the silence is so loud
I can't hear the words we're saying
CHORUS:
Anyone can do the heartbreak
everybody knows the dance
oh it's so easy to do
you tear a dream in two
to kill a true romance
anyone can do the heartbreak
anyone can make love end
it's gonna take a little pain
some fire and some rain
to bring it back again
I know you're afraid
baby so am I
you think you're going to fall
all you want to do is fly
we're up against the wall
and love is the chance we're taking
so baby look into my heart
tell me can't you see
I belong with you
you belong with me
when I hold you in my arms
we can hear the music playing
REPEAT CHORUS
And it's one step forward
and two steps back
well we keep on moving
but we're only losing ground
we've got to turn this love around
REPEAT CHORUS 2X

My Confession
Maybe youve noticed how I linger by the door
Looking for ways to hang around
I never felt my moment ever show itself before
But Ive got to speak or lose you now
Chorus:
This is my confession
I bare my soul to you
This is my confession
The one thing I can do
How will I ever make you mine
If you dont know that Im alive
I confess to you
My love for you
Hell never say the words Ive rehearsed a million times
Or stop your tears before they fall
Hell never even try to put his thoughts of you in rhymes
His heart is barely there at all
Repeat chorus
I have always believed somehow
Id be standing right here before you now
Hoping the last breath I take
I take in your arms

Last Goodbye
before you're rusted chains
busted walls and barb wire cage
tried to hold me down
and time was just a fist of change
tossed in the water just in case
you ever came around
Chorus:
I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
but i've lost the will to even try
if you ever doubt
listen to the sound
no lies
no no no
this is my last goodbye
now pardon me if I appear
to see beyond the now and here
to try to save myself
i'm not the kind to pin the blame
but I can't take more of the same
livin on your shelf
Chorus
door closes
another one opens
I feel the cold wind blowin
over me
long gone
but not forgotten
I might be lost
I might be finally free
I'm finally free
rift
repeat 1st verse
Chorus
this is my last goodbye
(yes it is, yes it is)
