Sky Blue & Black
In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low
I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name, Ill be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, Ill see you through
Sky blue and black
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
Theres a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When Id let go of your hand
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And itll never fold back
Sky blue and black
And Id have fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If Id known thats what you needed
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name, Ill be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, Ill see you through
Youre the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
Youre the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
Youre the hidden cost and the thing thats lost
In everything I do
Yeah and Ill never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
Thats the way love is
Thats the way love is
Thats the way love is
Sky blue and black

Whats She Like
Whats she like when she turns around to kiss you goodnight? /
When she wakes up in the morning by your side? / whats she like?
Whats she like? / the yellow moon or the deep blue of the sea? /
Do you feel the same way you did when it was me? / whats she like?
Oh Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on for far too long /
Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on much too long.
Whats she like when youre making love and stars are in her eyes? /
When youre looking for the answers in her smile? / whats she like?
Oh Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on for far too long /
Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on much too long / too long.
I never knew I could love somebody the way I loved you /
I never thought Id be the broken-hearted /
Well, nothing hurts you like the truth.
So whats she like when she turns to you, when push comes to shove? /
When she whispers in your ear that shes in love? / whats she like?
Oh Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on for far too long /
Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on much too long /
So whats she like?

Desperate Heart
One night, one empty room, one man gettin over you
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know will never come true
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains, Im only a fool who cant help but pretend
Chorus:
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant let go until the love is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart
Some nights, I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new
Still I know, Im wasting my time, no one can take the place of you
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side
But its all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to survive
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant let go until the love is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart, I keep holding on
(guitar solo)
All this time Ive been drowning in hopeless illusions Im keeping inside
That someday youll walk out of the shadows and back into my life
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant believe your love for me is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on (with a desperate heart)
Yeah with my desperate heart, I cant let go until the love is gone
(all over but Im holding on) I keep holding on
(all over but Im holding on) I cant believe your love for me is gone
(all over but I keep holding on)
(all over but Im holding on)
(all over but I keep holding on)...

Youre nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise Ill always
Always be

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh its just where we live
And finally you think youre alright
And that it eats you up alive
You better get used to it

Youre nothing but lonely

Always be there
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are
I know
Its stuck inside your head
Youre alone
You better get used to it
And I know
The feeling has to end
Youre strong
It sucks you in again
And youre lost
You cant make any sense
This world
It tears you limb from limb
And hold on
Youre nothing but the best
And are you waking up slowly
Youre nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise Ill always
Always be there
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

Holding Back The Years
Holding back the years,
Thinking of the fear Ive had for so long.
When somebody hears,
Listen to the fear thats gone.
Strangled by the wishes of pater,
Hoping for the arm of mater,
Get to me sooner or later,
Nothing ever could, yeah.
Ill keep holding on,
Ill keep holding on,
Ill keep holding on,
Ill keep holding on.
Chance for me to escape from all I know.
Holding back the tears.
Theres nothing here has grown.
Ive wasted all my tears,
Wasted all those years.
Nothing had the chance to be good,
Nothing ever could, yeah.
Ill keep holding on,
Ill keep holding on,
Ill keep holding on,
Ill keep holding on
So tight.

Any Day Now
Any day now
I will hear you say
Goodbye my love
Youll be on your way
In the wild, beautiful bird
You will have flown, yeah
Any day now, Ill be all alone
(and you wont be around)
Any day now
When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
Too my sad surprise
And the blue shadows will fall
All over town, yeah
Any day now
You wont be around
(and love will let me down)
I shouldnt want to keep
If you dont want to stay
Until youre gone forever
Ill be holding out
For dear life, holding out
Holding you this way
(and begging you to stay)
Any day now
When the clock strikes go
Youll go away
Then my tears will fall
And the blue shadows will fall
All over town, yeah
Any day now
You wont be around

I Aint Been Licked
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Roll down the gangway
So theyll see that its me
I know theyll wonder about my recovery
Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness
What my heart wouldnt accept
Put me to the test
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
They cant make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell em Im back again
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
Like outa nowhere my whole world fell apart
Till this day no one knows
What I felt in my heart
All those precious things
Inside me tried to still
Hands I thought would help
Pushed me over the hill
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes, it can be done
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
They cant make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell em Im back again
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Just to start again
Rise
Show em that I can
Rise
Found a brand new dream
Rise
Just to prove one thing
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
I want the world to see
I aint been licked
Although my love is gone
I aint been licked
Somehow I carry one
I aint been licked
Ill find the strength somehow
I aint been licked
I think Im ready now
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked

Love Is A Lonely Place Without You
Love is a lonely place without you
I know Im not alone
I should not be afraid
Cause I hear your voice
And I know youre there beside me
And so I give my heart
I live to love again
But I cant let go
Of the way I feel about you
Love is a lonely place without you
I miss you
And youre almost here
And Im almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
Ill never love this way again (again)
If love was ever true
I know it was with you
Cause you touch my soul and
You stay with me forever
No tears, no said goodbyes
There are no reasons why
But Im holding on
I believe in love eternal
Love is a lonely place without you
I miss you
And youre almost here
And Im almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
Ill never love this way again (again)
Though Im moving on
Im still holding on - holding on - holding on
Love is a lonely place without you
I miss you
And youre almost here
And Im almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
Ill never love this way again (again)
Love is a lonely place - a lonely place (x4)

Holding Out
Theres nothing outside my window
But the sound of the pouring rain
It oughta be breaking my heart
But I feel no pain
Trying to pick up the station
Thatll carry me through this night
Got a fire to keep me warm
til I got you in my arms
Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that Im gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I wont sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love wont forget me, I gotta keep holding out
Girl, Ive been dreaming about you
For the better part of my life
At least I can make it without you
One more night
Im not afraid of the thunder
I wont run away from the storm
Let the stars fall down and break
I dont care how long it takes
Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that Im gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I wont sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love wont forget me, I gotta keep holding out
Theres no other love in the world
I could want any more
Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that Im gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I wont sleep

Oh yeah
I know love wont forget me, I gotta keep holding out

All In All
I think I've had enough things too tough
I'm out the door
All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you
Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today
Things don't stop and the others announced they're moving on
Salt & tears in the minds in the mouths of a bad decision
Too late for another mistake it's bringing me down
With all your faults it isn't your fault
what's going on
All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you
Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today
So you lost yourself
So you lost your way
Found life through someone else
But you threw it all away
All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you
Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today
Times rolling on
rolling on today
It's going on
Going on today

Seems to me that youre always nere
Close enough so I know when youre here
Just when I think I got to know you-you disappear
And so I walk along building all my dreams

And just when I think Ive found the right one you disappear
But still Im (here) here waiting for you

Oh why Im here

Ive carried moonbeams home in a jar
Only one thing wrong
Youre where you belong
And thats too far
If only there was some way of reaching you
Holding you cos Im so doggone blue
Only one thing I really want to do
Is sing to you

Run For Cover
See the man in white
Hes old he wouldnt dare to fight, to fight another
Rockin like a beast upon on a never ending dream
We love each other
Asking for a sign - the actions coming from behind
Lets run for cover
Feel the musics beat, we fight for rock
And in the heat we stand together
Were holding back for you when you fight
And we stand for one another
Were holding back for you, when you run for cover
And see those open eyes
When you are standing here tonight
Thats why - were holding back for you, when you run for cover
Restless in the night, we all stand up for this delight
We fight together
Were holding back for you when you fight
And we stand for one another
Were holding back for you, when you run for cover
Were holding back for you..........

Holding On
See the searching...
See the people...
Out in the darkness and soul searching
Did you find what we had lost?
All this time Ive got to thinking about the promises;
How long this energy of winter?
How many times that we could never love?
How many times is time enough?
All the foolish notions: when well die thats all that is.
We can never really understand the broken promises.
All along we run together (remember? )
All along we run as one (remember? )
When you find a perfect union, youve got to follow it.
Stop that reasoning (youve got the answer)
Stop that thinking out loud! (youve got the answer)
Go where your heart takes you to (youve got the answer!)
Youre not that innocent! youve been around!
Youre not that innocent...
Got to be right; got it coming to you.
How many times is time enough? (time enough...)
Your time is just beginning out of all where we came from.
Holding on: this point receiving; there it is, there it is, there it is
Holding on, can you remember
Holding on, was it ever like this?
Holding on, its the most important thing.
It was the first time that I saw you
It was the first time that I knew
Out of all my disbelieving,
Holding on, I was holding you.

Back To The Light
Far, far from the light
Here the night creatures call
In the cold breath they howl
And the hollow tears, theyre calling you
Ill be there, though maybe you wont see my babe
Ill still care, no mater where Ill still be there
When you make to the other side
Lord Im going back, back to the light
Back to the dreams that are paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land, where the sunshine heals my soul
Deep, deep in the night
When the world fils with tears
And the wind grows, colder and colder it grows
And the fire dimes, with the same old fears
Ill be there, no matter what youre going through
In the dark I care, Im holding on, Im hoping on
Its still the same old me inside#
Lord Im going back, back to the light
Back to the dreams that are paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land, where the sunshine heals my soul
On and on, searching for the clearer view
Winning and loosing an inner war
Wondering what we do it for
Though the road seems never ending
Hold on to the hope Im sending through
No matter where youre going to
Ill be there
Im holding on, believe it
Well be walking in the light
cos therell be no place left to hide
Back to the light
Back to the dreams that are paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land, where the sunshine heals my soul
Let me hear you babes - yeah, yeah, yeah

Holding Me Tonight
(carly simon)
You say youre not worthy of me
But how do you know when you cant see
Your eyes where midnight catches fire
I cant describe this dizzy desire
Can you be so insecure
That you dont know what this grin is for
Do you think I always act this way
Silly and silent, and eager to stay
When youre holding me tonight
Holding me tonight
You think its all a mistake
That Im lost in a dream from which Ill wake up
There youll be just another guy
You could never be but I dare you to try
When youre holding me
Holding me tonight
I walk into your room
You blush when I see it in a mess
So I undress and close my eyes
A room with a view
Is in the dark with you
But that should come as no suprise
Its not a matter of mind
The choice of the heart is a different kind
Its always been a mystery
When you walk into the room it happens to me
And when youre holding me
Holding me tonight

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

Black Arrow, Bleeding Heart
Throwing rocks at a window
Stumble into a telphone pole
While the light shines down on your person
Filtering through all your aversions
Love will not find you tonight
When youre preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?
Looking into the mirror
Dont like what I see
Aint looking like me
I want to be near her
Theres no way in hell
And theres no time to tell
Love will not find you tonight
When youre preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?
