Running Away
Everyday you're on my mind
Pain is feeling passing time
But if she found out about you she would die
And if I had to live without you so would I
So I thirst for water
I find myself wanting now
[Chorus:]
So I'm running away to you
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you
Hearts are never made of stone
Pain will cut you to the bone
But I know that holding you is all so wrong
So tonight's the last we'll ever be alone
So I thirst for water
I find myself wanting now
[Chorus]
Turn around, fill my eyes with you
All senses to commit
Till every thing's all right

You Left The Water Running
(r. hall, d. penn, o.franck)
Chorus:
You left the water running
When you left me here behind
You left the water running
Running from these eyes of mine
Running from these eyes of mine
You turned off the life and love
And left with another guy
You turned off all of your love from me
But you forgot to turn off the cry
You forgot to turn off the cry
You pull the shades a way down low
You disconnect the telephone
Oh baby, but these tears, a-running from my eyes
You cant turn em off any, no
No you cant turn em off any, no
(brass solo)
Chorus
You locked the door, left my heart outside
And then you threw the key away (tell em colla)
But youll regret and youll be upset
When you get your water bill to pay
When you get your water bill to pay

O Lisa
Simple stages in my mind
Now Im running out of time
Im wanting to
I wanna do you
Taking stock of feelings stored
Running circles overboard
Im wanting to I wanna do you
O lisa
Can you
Love me again?
Ill be holding on till then
Only old enough to tell
What is right and what is hell
Im wanting to
I wanna do you
And if this is our last goodbye
I would love to see you cry
Im wanting to
I wanna do you
O lisa
Can you
Love me again?
Ill be holding on till then
Ill be holding on till then
O lisa
Can you
Love me again?
Ill be holding on till then
And if this is our last goodbye
I would love to see you cry
Im wanting to
I wanna do you
I wanna do you
I wanna do you
I wanna do you

I Need Water
Scorching hot summer’s day
Devastation struck on our holiday.
Water, water running out
No more water left about.
Where is water?
What to do?
Stressing, thirsty, hungry too.
Need a shower!
Need a drink!
But there is no time to think.
Running, running to the store
“No more water” written on the door.
I need water, but there’s none,
Definitely not having fun.
Feeling dirty!
Feeling sick!
Needing something so basic.
Water, water I need you
Then I’ll be as good as new.
Water, water always there,
Once it’s gone we’re made aware
Wasting water is not right
Now it’s gone I’ve seen the light.
I need water to survive
I’m lucky to be alive!

Running Out Of Time
Been around this world so many times
If you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell
Faith alone has guided me
The ghost of my own destiny
I haven't even got a soul to sell
All the thing I put me through
I wouldn't wish my hell on you
You'll never know what's going on inside
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
Trouble always seems find
A way to live inside my mind
My haunted head and me remain alone
Underneath my masqerade
A simple man who's so afraid
I try to find a light to guide me home
Momma please just hold me tight
Feeling so afraid tonight
Cause your the only one that really knows
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
Fighting for my sanity
Many nights of tragedy
Got to leave my Wretched ways behind
Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of fate and hope and reason
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
I'm running out of time
Running out of time
[spoken:]
Underneath my masquerade
a simple who's still afraid

My Betrothed
Among the trees i hide-
Running from my betrothed
My mind is getting tired from this,
His evil presence withers my hearts rose.
Why was this burden laid on me?
I do not want to be the Queen of the Darkness
I do not want to be damned from the waters edge,
I do not want to live in this city of stone.
I must run
I must run forever-
But he still follows
Finding me at every corners turn
I think he's getting bored from my running
Instead of seeing him follow me,
I see a great black beast with a shadowed rider,
It can disappeer out of sight, but it's still there beside me.
Waiting for me to start running again
Wanting me to run so it can chase.
My betrothed loves how I try to run
But running does no good.
You hateful man, why do you take joy in my pain?

Still Turning Back To Him
Running as far, knowing that he will catch up
Tears are made and fall and doesn’t stop
And running away seems like the only way
Running so far, get tired and drop.
Yet running away, he still comes back for me
As down on the ground, he helps me up
Still betrayed and hurt, wanting to turn away
Like this heart it wants more from the cup.
Not being able to run, just standing there
Afraid of what he might do and say
An apology and forgiveness is asked
Saying no seems to be right, but nay.
Trying to forget what had just happened now
Knowing that he had deceived me hurts
But, the hearts speaks of its own for it want to love
And just him, and no one else to flirts.
As many times as this may happen to all
And always wanting to stop the pain
The right answer seems to be letting him go
Yet this heart cant, it’s as sturdy as a chain.
Love for him will always misinterpreted
Still willing to put up everything
For this one simple thing, a kiss, a hug,
Or just for Love, like the loving King.
Waking Up At 3: 19 A.m.
hungry and thirsty
i am awakened
i switch on the light
and look at my watch
it is 3: 19 a.m and i
am feeling the
unholiness of the hour
hungry and thirsty
i look for food and water
for how long shall i conceal
the truth of my hunger and thirst?
it is not the water and the
sandwich
it is my soul
hungry and thirsty for
God
deep within i am moving
away
like a ship in the middle
of a storm
yet not wanting an anchor
not wanting an island
even a shadow
of the shore
for when will this hunger
and thirst stop
i do not not really know
perhaps
God shall soon
tell me
again about Job.

Circles
Ever since you left me
I've been trying to hide the pain
Painting on a smile with lipstick
Putting on a big charade
So difficult to keep pretending
It's getting harder everyday
It's plain to see I'm cold and heartsick
Since you turned and walked away
I just keep going round and round
And round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
[chorus]
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without out
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
(running around in circles over you)
Saturday I saw you
Holding hands with someone new
Somehow I kept my composure
Just like everything was cool
But inside I kept repeating
Don't you let them see you cry
So I casually turned my head
As the tears rolled down my eyes
I just keep going round and round
And round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
[chorus]
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
Everything is you
How can I pull through
My heart is consumed I'm so confused
Still caught up in you...love can be so cruel
Baby don't know how to turn you loose
[chorus]
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
No, nothing's the same
You got me running around
And running around
And running around
Nothing's the same
Baby baby cause you
Got me running around
In circles over you
(running around in circles over you)

Take Me To A Dream
Love of my you are
Sunlight, my shining star
All of the world to me
All I could ever need
Lately I can feel youve grown away from me
And inside I pray its not too late to find a remedy
Dont wanna live a lie
I dont wanna say goodbye
So how can I start again
And how will my heart mend
Here I am alone with only memories
So Im searching just to find a way to keep you here with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Dreams that youre holding me
Dreams that wont ever be
Visions of loving you
Wanting to make them true
I find myself believing youll come back to me
Cause Im trying not to feel the pain, that loneliness can bring
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Its so hard to make it through the day without you
So I pray for night to dream youre here with me, with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
So lay me down and take me to a dream

Nightwatch
In the night, when a mist of sleep surrounds me
You come to me and hold me tight, winding your body all around me
And everywhere you touch I feel, that my love for you is much too real
Oh, its the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Its the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Sleepwalkin - I know every move you make, and every word I say
Keep it comin, comin - comin on stronger, this time Im going all the way
Is this moment just a fantasy, or a vision of what will be
Oh, its the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Every night the same thing, wanting you in my dreams
(dreams fade away)
I better find you in my days, or Im losin you to the nights
Its the same thing - every night
Its the same thing - oh, youre so right
Its the same thing - wanting you
(instrumental break)
And tonight, evenings shadows are sure to find me
On my nightwatch, waiting for the warmth of you beside me
And every second that youre here I feel, this dream is real
And its the same damn thing, its the same thing
Its the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams, dreams

Wanting To Be Near You
Wanting to be near you.
Wanting to be near you,
Once again.
Baby.
And wanting you to know,
I am your friend...
Until the end.
Somedays I feel defeat.
And this shows.
Somedays I'm not as strong...
Or comfortable.
I can be weak in mind.
And from time to time...
I am needing more from you!
You're deep within my heart.
This you should know.
Right from the very start,
We were one.
And if I've said or done,
Something you can't forgive.
Please tell me then and there!
Make me be aware,
Instantly!
Baby.
I'm wanting to be near you!
Wanting to be near you,
Once again.
'Til the end.
And wanting you to know,
I am your friend...
With no one and nothing,
In between!
Wanting to be near you.
Wanting to be near you,
Once again.
Baby.
And wanting you to know,
I am your friend...
Until the end,
Of time!
I am wanting to be near you.
Come what may.
Everyday...
We live.

Ya running and ya running

Ya running and ya running,
But ya cant run away from yourself
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself -
Cant run away from yourself.
Ya must have done (must have done),
Sometin wrong (something wrong).
Said: ya must have done (must have done),
Wo! sometin wrong (something wrong).
Why you cant find the
Place where you belong?
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do (running away);

Burden is the heaviest (heaviest).
Every man thinketh his
Burden is the heaviest (heaviest).

Could ya run away from yourself?
Can you run away from yourself?
Cant run away from yourself!
Cant run away from yourself!
Yeah-eah-eah-eah - from yourself.

Sometin - sometin - sometin -
Sometin ya dont want nobody to know about:
Ya must have, lord - sometin wrong,
What ya must have done - ya must have done sometin wrong.
Why you cant find where you belong?
Well, well, well, well, ya running away, heh, no -
Ya running away, ooh, no, no, no,
Im not (running away), no, dont say that - dont say that,
cause (running away) Im not running away, ooh! (running away)
Ive got to protect my life, (running away)
And I dont want to live with no strife. (running away)
It is better to live on the housetop (running away)
Than to live in a house full of confusion. (running away)
So, I made my decision and I left ya; (running away)
Now you comin to tell me (running away)
That Im runnin away. (running away)
But its not true, (running away)

Erase
Bad move, baby I let you in
You're a tattoo under my skin
And I can't wash it off
It's a permanent mark
I try to let it go, I try to chill
But still I feel I'm under your spell
Oh why the hell can't I just move on?
Your memory stays with me
I can't escape, I'm running in place
I can't erase you
My mind won't let you just disappear
And I can't find any way out of here
Cause you're stuck in my brain
And it's a miserable pain

Running Back To You
Boy, youve been running around to long
Now I think youre running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
Its time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one, then walk out the door
And you think you can run arround having fun,
And just come back for more
Chorus:
I think youre living in a fantasy
Its got to be them or me
So if you try it onr more time
Baby dont expect me to come running back to you
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Boy, hope you see before to late
I wont play the fool-no not this time
And Ill show you just how wrong you are
To think I just cant get you out of my mind
So you think you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run arround and come back for more
Chorus
You cant dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear youre playing around when you wanna
Any time that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want oh
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh

Burdens
Something's got me down again,
I feel the walls closing in,
If you could only read my mind tell me what would you find?
Show me where it all began.
Could you help me understand?
And the toll it's taking,
every day I'm aching.
[chorus]
Living in danger,
I'm a hazard to myself.
Why can't these problems belong to someone else?
I need an angel to protect me from myself,
and take these burdens off my mind.
I wish I knew the words to say,
to make it all go away.
Even when it's plain to see,
it's hard to believe.
Cuz when you're hearts been broken,
all you're hope's been stolen.
[chorus]
I'm running on faith,
I really don't know,
if it's too late,
or which way to go,
it's a matter of time,
will I ever know?
oh, before I lose control
Cuz when you're hearts been broken,
all you're hope's been stolen.

yeah,
off my mind

Both Feet In The Water
The company Im keeping, well it may be bad
But it aint bad enough, compared to me
So baby start believing, Im the best youve ever had
Just give me time and I will make you see
Gonna prove you wrong, gonna prove me right
You better make your mind up, its gotta be tonight
Baby baby baby, I can light your fuse
You aint got nothing, nothing to lose, baby
Chorus:
Put both feet in the water - put em in the water, baby
Put your fears in the past - put em in the past, yeah
Forget what people have told you - dont listen
If you want our loving to last
I know what youve been hearing, and it makes me mad
To think that youd believe so many lies
Girl Im gonna tell you one thing, the rumours may be bad
But you aint got no right to criticize
Because I heard about you and the things you do
You gotta make your mind up, am I coming through?
So baby baby baby, its time you made your move
I aint got nothing, nothing to prove, baby

Gonna prove you wrong, gonna prove me right

The Other Side
The waiting game is over, no need for pretending, we were meant to be
Its only getting stronger, the love I feel for you, its no mystery
Ive got to find some way to tell you, though our world seems far apart
It just dont have to be
The time has come to testify, all the feelings Ive been holding back
Its time to set them free
Chorus:
Ive been watching you from the other side
Ive been wanting to hold you through the night
Ive got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever
The moment that I saw you
I knew inside my heart, all my dreams would come true
I know it took some time to realize
A love we cant deny, Ive got to see it through

I want to be the one who loves you, now and forever
I want to take my place beside you
I want to be the one to hold you, now and forever

Why do we need to turn it on?

What do you need from me tonight?
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
Youre wrong, youre wrong

Fear makes you fragile darlin
Hate is so heavy when youre weak
Now were both lost in anger
When were alone well find some peace
Why do we need to turn it on?
Why does it always seem so wrong?

Why Aint I Running
More info about this song in the song database
I can hear that highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually goodbye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Shes like no other woman
That I have known before
And it aint me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Chorus:
Why aint I running, why aint I gone
How does she hold me without holding on
In love or a fight shes stronger than strong
Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong
Its got me wondering, why aint I running
Why aint I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
They would never recognize me for all that shes done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that Im alone
Repeat chorus
No, theyve never built a wall that high
Or made a chain that strong
And God aint never made a place
I felt like I belong
