Swallows
she holds her baby close,
against the cold wind,
their breath together,
one fog.
shaken and driven
by the demons that had her,
she clings to her love,
alone.
a child with a child,
wrong address, wrong number,
the dark night sighs,
and swallows!

Dreams Never Die
(john duarte/mark paul)
Here in the dark
Away from you now
A voice in my heart tells me
Somethings gone wrong
Was I wasting my time
Falling in love
Like a shadow in the night
Like a star in the dawn
Like smoke in the wind
I know that youre gone
Even though I miss you
My dreams never die
Im feeling so low
Theres no right or wrong
It hurts to let go
But it hurts to hold on
And all of my friends
Tell me Im a fool
But theyve never been alone with you
Dreams never die
We keep them inside
Holding them close
Through the cold lonely night
And through were not together
Dreams never die
Here in the dark
Away from you now
A voice in my heart tells me
Somethings gone wrong
The pain keeps comin
The rain keeps fallin
Dreams never die
Im feeling so low
Theres no right or wrong
It hurts to let go
But it hurts to hold on
And all my friends tell me Im a fool
But theyve never been alone with you
And my dreams never die
Tonights the first night
Without you by my side
Oh baby, I need you
Im tryinto hold on
To whats left of my pride
But I need you, need you, need you, need you
Dreams never die
We keep them inside
Holding them close
Through the cold lonely night
And through were not together
Dreams never die
Ive still got my dreams
And theyll never die
Never, never, never

In A Moment In Time
OH MY CHILD WHAT HAPEND TO YOU
YOU SEEMED TO GROW
SO STRONG MY CHILD
THEN SHAYTAN HE CAME TO YOU
OH MY Child WHAT WENT WRONG
I hope it’s temporarily
Oh please come back to Allah
Oh my child what went wrong
All the good I taught you
Now look at you
Doing as you do
Knowing it’s wrong
Denying your multi-cultural family
Claming to be 100% British
No longer looking after the planet
You talk of war for a better life
How can this be
Oh child of mine
What went wrong
As you talk of helping others
The people you want to work for are killing my family
Oh how can this be oh child of mine
Come back to Allah
Come back to me
I miss you so
Love always
Mom

Love is a child
Love was a child, so meek and so mild
Love was a child who smiled.
Love was a child who played with a toy train
Love was a child who jumped in puddles in the rain.
Love was a child who laughed and played.
Love was a child God lovingly made.
Love is a child that God now holds
Love is a child who will never grow old.
Love is a child we sorely miss
Love is a child who Angels now kiss.
Love is a child.

Dreamin On
She takes the heart of mine
She make it beat in time
In fact shes mine forever
And Ill never ever know the reason why
Funny how she writes letters to me
Shes only human but she keeps goin through me
We came to love in the neighborhood
And the love dont cease to grow
And if you need me darlin
Ill be dreamin on
Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child
Dreamin on for you baby
She makes the skies grow dark
She makes the darkness bright
She make the wind grow warm in
The wake of another cold and stormy night
And anywhere she needs me Ill be runnin to
cause she fits me like a glove
And tho Id really like to be with you
She gave me love when there was no love
And I would not let her go
So if you need me darlin
Ill be dreamin on
Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child
Dreamin on for you baby
(break)
Ill be dreamin on
Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child
Dreamin on for you baby
Ah....
For you baby
Ah...(fade)

Heart Broken
You wish upon a star
Your a child left behind
You fall in love with everyone
you break your heart without a doubt
Crying sorrow and letting fly
Upon a star you leave it all
You wish for better every night
You wish for love to come all night
Were made believe that its all fine
Were made believe about true love
child child hear me out
Your all grown up and stand up right
Child Child listen right
Your lost in mind your never right
Fairy tales and love is wrong
Stars upon the skys are all but tales
Child act your age and learn this right
Love is fake and crazy tales

When Something Is Wrong With My Baby (feat. Patti Labelle)
Travis Tritt & Patti Labelle
When something is wrong with my baby,
Something is wrong with me
And if I know that he's worried,
Then I would feel the same, same misery.
We've been through so much together,
We've been as one, oh that's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby,
Something is wrong with me. (gonna tell you)
Oh, say it to me baby, just what he means to me now,
Oh, you people, you just don't have a clue baby
Oh you don't understand
People say, say that she's just no good,
She's my woman and I know I'm her man
Oh, if the man's, if the man's, if the man's got a problem
I know I'd help, I know I'd help,
I know, I know I'm gonna solve it
When something is wrong with my baby,
Something is wrong with me.
When something is wrong with my baby,
Something is wrong with me.
When something is wrong with my baby,
Something is wrong with me...

Eyes of a child
Eyes of a child
Such gems in stones
Staring you close
Still as blue sky
They don't lie
Their sun is shining
While you are crying
Eyes of a child
Day or night
I got no light
Free as a child
I can be wild
Eyes of a child
Let them go, into the snow
Without your grace
There's a lot more to know
Just glance over their face
It's the eye of a child
Free and wild
Child don't think too much
Ain't no worry as such
Joy driven life they live
Half-a-soul they give
It's the eyes of a child
Free and wild
Save me child
Save me child
Set me free and wild
Eyes of my child

When The Wind Blows
So long child, Im on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Dont be down, its all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child, its awful dark
And Ive never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, youll run, run away
Youll take him home
Youll spit and taunt him
But they wont believe you
No matter what youll say
So long child, its awful dark
I never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows

I Need Something Stronger
And I wrote my happiest songs

What's wrong?
nothing but the real
it is you that needed something stronger
I need something stronger...
If you have a problem don't hesitate to ask for assistance
What's wrong...
What's wrong?
nothing...
What's wrong...?

Wha, wha, wha, wha, wha.....

What is that buzzing?
Are you now, or have you ever, moved slowly?

The Reason Why?
(paul hopkins/ lee morris)
Producer for bonnie: graham laybourne
Every time you see me walking in the room
Can you see it in my face
Ive lost interest in all the things you do
And Im feeling misplaced
Can you tell me its over
I dont want a lie
All I really want to know is the reason why
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Oh, Im sure that you feel the same way too
But youre hiding it inside
Theres nothing left for us
Between me and you
Nothing but heartache inside
Can you tell me its over
I dont want a lie
All I really wanna know is the reason why
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Our love is strong
Come on, we could make it through
Theres nothing left to lose
It will be alright - alright
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Cause I need to know
I need to know
Where did our love go wrong?
Where did our love go wrong?
Where did our love go wrong?
Where did our love go wrong?
It will be alright - alright

Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out.
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love, it won't be long.
Oh, sugar, don't you cry.
Oh, child, wipe the tears from your eyes.
You know I need you to be strong
And the day it is dark, as the night is long.
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean.
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Alright now, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is a secret that's been passed around.
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no-one can sleep.
I guess it's the price of love; I know it's not cheap.
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way.
I remember when we could sleep on stones.
Now we lie together in whispers and moans.
When I was all messed up and I heard opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb hanging over my bed.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way.
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way.

Haunted
THE house is haunted; when the little feet
Go pattering about it in their play,
I tremble lest the little one should meet
The ghosts that haunt the happy night and day.
And yet I think they only come to me;
They come through night of ease and pleasant day
To whisper of the torment that must be
If I some day should be, alas! as they.
And when the child is lying warm asleep,
The ghosts draw back the curtain of my bed,
And past them through the dreadful dark I creep,
Clasp close the child, and so am comforted.
Cling close, cling close, my darling, my delight,
Sad voices on the wind come thin and wild,
Ghosts of poor mothers crying in the night--
'Father, have pity--once I had a child!'

Ive Been Wrong Before
The night we met
The night that I wont forget
Youve seen what Ive been waiting for
But baby, Ive been wrong before
You held me tight
And everything seemed just right
I couldnt ask for more
But baby, Ive been wrong before
She used to smile at me
And hold my hand like you do
Then she left me
And broke my heart in two
See her face
And feel your warm embrace
Youre all that I adore
But baby, Ive been wrong before
Oh baby, Ive been wrong before
