You And You Alone
when this old world gets me down and life's a chain i drag around, when i can't
find a ray of hope to help me sooth my worried soul, only you and you alone.
can turn the darkest night into dawn, the only reason for hanging on, is you
and you alone.
Holding you close to me, gives me all the strength i need, then i wake up it's
just a deam, all that's left are memories, of only you and you alone, to turn
the darkest night into dawn, the only reason for hanging on, is you and you
alone, My only reason for hanging on, is your and your alone

Stronger Than The Night
(graham russell, michael sherwood, david young)
Tonite you are the world to me, part of the mystery
And we dont need a reason to love
Say youll never go, thats all I need to know
And when you close your eyes, Ill still be here
And if the world falls
You will be the only reason to love
Ill find my way
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night
If you hold me now, all that I feel is yours
Cos youre the only reason to love
What you are to me, is all that you need to be
And when you touch the stars, I will be there
And when the world falls away
I will be your only reason to love
Ill find my way
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night
One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night

Night People
(alan toussaint)
Night people, hanging out
Looking at each other waiting for something to happen
Night people, hanging out
Looking at each other
Waiting for soemthing to happen
While the day world is sleeping
Night people are creeping, hanging out
Looking at each other
When the day world stops moving
Night people start grooving, hanging out
Looking at each other
When the day bees stop buzzing
Night people start coming, hanging out
Waiting for something to happen
Night people , hanging out
Looking at each other
Waiting for something to happen
You dont get one thing
Without the other
We got to keep the world alive
If everybody went to sleep
At the same time,
Howd we keep the world alive
In a word we got the night people,
Night people, hanging out
Looking at each other
Waiting for something to happen
Got to see who is with you
Who is with me, who is with who, were hanging out
Looking at each other
Got to see whatcha wearing, whatcha got
Whatcha sharing , hanging out
Waiting for something to happen
As the day world goes by
Night people doing fine, hanging out
Looking at each other
When the day world starts humping
Night people start pumping, hanging out
Waiting for something to happen
Night people hanging out
Looking at each other
Waiting for soemthing to happen
Night people, hanging out
Looking at each other
Waiting for something to happen
Night people grooving , hanging out
Night people grooving
Night people grooving
Night people grooving
Night people grooving
Night people grooving

In the year of fourteen ninety-two
When columbus sailed the ocean blue
Had he landed on indias shore
You might never have come to knock on my door.
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light of our love.
Through the rain clouds thundering nights
Mr. franklin stood there holding his kite
He was crazy always pressing his luck
But he got what he wanted when lightning struck, yeah.
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light.
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light of our love.
I believe in you and the special love we could share
And maybe one day darling youll turn around
And all I really know is I will be there.
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
This dream was made to find
So I know that I will follow
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh

I will find the shining light of our love.
Ask me just how much I love you
Im galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light of our love
Ask me just how much I love you

Vicious Streak
What am I gonna do
I feel like Im on fire
If you only knew
That youre the object of desire
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that youre the only one
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that it wont be long
My aim is true
My vision is clear
My thoughts are crude
Whenever youre near
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that youre the only one
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that it wont be long
I keep hanging on
Youve got a vicious streak
For someone so young
Youre like solar flair
In the rising sun
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on

Darkest Hour Is Just Before Down
(ralph stanley)
The sun is slowly sinkin
The days almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at jesus feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A-watchin the sheep down below
Hes coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul
Let jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Red Hill Mining Town
]from father to son
The blood runs thin
Our faces frozen (still) against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
And theres no going back
Through hands of steel
And a heart of stone
Our labor day has come and gone
And you leave us holding on
In red hill town
As the lights go down
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
The glass is cut
The bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
Were wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
And we scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
Im hanging on to
Youre all thats left to hang on to
We see love slowly stripped away
Our love, has seen a better day
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
See the lights go down on red hill town
See lights go down on red hill town

Reason
Some people never learn
Keep taking every turn
A little fast
Thinking nothing ever lasts
Descending (?) oh so sweet
Keep playing in my sleep
But when I wake
I can never recall a thing
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this charmed life that we lead
Something is crying out
Through voices in my tears
Hear the voice crying out
In the strangest memories
Never mind
And reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this charmed life that we lead
Sorry to disappoint you
I never said that I could tell right from wrong
So don't put your faith on me now
I'll leave you in suspension
Till you fall
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this short life that we lead
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything

Just To See You
I get so excited
Just to see you
And when we're hanging out
Just for a few
I see nothing
Nothing but you
You give me a reason
A reason to
Wake up each day
Just to see you
I'd do anything
Anything to
Anything, Everything
Just to see you.

I Love....
i love...
that's the reason i walk,
the reason i breathe.
the reason i grieve.
the reason i dance.
the reason i smile.
the reason i listen.
the reason i offer a hand.
the reason i see beauty.
the reason i see both darkness,
and light....
the reason i take chances.
the reason i keep going.
the reason i get angry.
the reason i forgive.
the reason i touch.
the reason i question.
the reason i believe.
the reason i am tolerant.
the reason i understand.
the reason i fall.
the reason i fly.
the reason i write...
the reason i am what i am!

On Passing A Hanging Bridge
on passing a hanging bridge
the sway can be felt
you will be there alone
not in two's
not even to be with the person
you love or your trusted friend
not that there is no valid reason for that
the hanging bridge may feel your weight
and give in and you may fall with it
and die in an instant
there are rules to be borne in mind
you are not suppose to look on either side, left or right
or look downward otherwise you will feel
being sucked by the raging river below you
and then you become nauseous
and then eventually you fall
and then die crashing
on the rocks
i have reflected on it that day after i passed the hanging bridge.
it is like life itself. I must pass alone. I must always look forward.

No reason
There's nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
Nowhere to wait.
No reason to cry.
All that's left is hope and faith.
Towards a better future is where it awaits.
There's no reason to stay and fight.
No reason to think every thing's alright.
My world right now is like my soul
drenched in rain it feels so old.
During the day I may be fine.
By night I break.I try to deal and be okay for my families' sake.
It doesn't work as well as I'd like.
I wanna leave Florence and get out of sight.
Until I can be happy, and find a reason to live
I feel I have nothing to give.

Be Yourself
In the deepest, in the darkest
where the thoughts of pain are starkest...
With the knowledge, with the terror
and the thought that life's an error...
Find a reason, find excuses
for the right to all life's truces
And in the darkest place of lies
close your ears, open your eyes

You Keep Me Hangin On
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out my life why don't cha baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
you don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on
Why do you keep comin' 'round
Playing with my heart
Why don't cha get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me
Yeah
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out my life why don't cha baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
you don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on
You say although we broke up
You still want to be just friends
How can we be friends
If seeing you only breaks my heart again
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out my life why don't cha baby
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out my life why don't cha baby
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul need to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You want to still hold onto me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me love somebody else
Why don't cha be a man abouti
And set me free
You don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
So go on get out get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out my life why don't cha baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
you don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on

There's A Reason For It
Don't know how it got away from me
Don't know how I let things go, you see
Don't know why it took a sudden turn
Didn't seem to be a big concern
And everything is all too much
Hot and bothered, you're cool to the touch
And everyone is worlds apart
It must have been this way from the start
When there's nothing here to save the day
Then we have to say
There's a reason for it
When there's nothing left for us to do
You're left without a clue
There's a reason for it
Don't know how it got away from me
Don't know how I let things go, you see
Don't know why it took a sudden turn
Didn't seem to be a big concern
And everyone is all too well
All well-adjusted people
Can't you tell?
And everything is all too fast
Just add water Nothing's built to last
When your colleagues can't recall your name
Time and time again
There's a reason for it
When your name's the butt of every joke
Just about to croak T
here's a reason for it
And everyone is worlds apart
It must have been this way from the start
When there's nothing here to save the day
Then we have to say
There's a reason for it
When there's nothing left for us to do
You're left without a clue
There's a reason for it
There's a reason for it
There's a reason for it
There's a reason for it

Dead Man's Rope
A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night
And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space
The shadows fall
Around my bed
When the hand of an angel,
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head
All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain

One Lonely Night
You and your baby had some words today
Til not another word was left to say
I see that grin boy
Maybe you think youll win boy
Until the sun goes down and once again boy
One lonely night
One lonely night
Thats all it takes to completely break you
They say its darkest right before the dawn
But oh those darkest hours can be so long
Youre feelin strong boy
Tellin yourself shes wrong boy
But how much longer can this night go on boy

Ooh shes such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know shes one of a kind

Crazy
not sayin'
not charmed at all
not sayin'
that you weren't worth
the fall
and i was alone when
i knew it was real
down the canyon
when i knew i had come
to the line
through the dawn
to the light
to the turn
when you said
you could drive
all night
drive all night
so i let crazy
take a spin
then i let crazy
settle in
kicked off my shoes
shut reason out
he said "first let's just
unzip your religion
down"
found that i
i craved at all
saw me melt
into your
native shelter
where you carved my
name
paper tigers scare
and came
alive
through the dawn
to the light
to the turn
when you said
you could drive all night
all night
drive all night
so i let crazy
take a spin
then i let crazy
settle in
kicked off my shoes
shut reason out
he said "first let's just
unzip your religion
down"
so i let crazy
pull me in
then i let crazy
take his spin
kicked off my shoes
shut reason out
he said "first let's just unzip
your religion down"
heard that you were once
"temptation's girl"
and as soon
as you have
rearranged the mess
in your head
he will show up looking
sane
perfectly sane
if i know crazy

I like stars
how beautiful are they
hanging on the
heavens
i wish i have their
brilliance
i see the most beautiful star
one night
falling to the ground
where i stand
as i am just one of those
ordinary men
i am sometimes uncertain of
what to say
i am a step now higher
to my little stair of
happiness
stars fall sometimes
but always for a reason
now, another star becomes like us
we are inspired by reason
stars always fall out
for a reason and we learn
to tiptoe on the paths
where weeds begin to wilt.

Turn Up The Night
A rumble of thunder, Im suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another its a story told
So get a good hold, yeah
Regiment fooled you, you thought that you knew who you are
A simple equation, thats the relation, but thats gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know
So let it all go!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Nighttitme sorrow, taken like a pain
Black will not become a white, its all the same
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!
A rumble of thunder, Im suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
So get a good hold, yeah
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
If it feels right
Turn off the light!
Turn up the night!
