Take Your Hand

Come on baby, come on lover
Come on sweetheart, come on sugar
Come on darling come on over
And let me take your hand
I’m a dreamer, I’m a bleeder
I’m on fire now, I’m a schemer
But I’m trying just to need you
So let me take your hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh.
It was over the river
In the forest of silver
When we looked at each other
And I lifted up your hand
There’s a time for forgiveness
When you know that you’re in this
But I want you to love me
So let me take your hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh.
There’s a time for forgiveness
When you know that you’re in this
But I want you to love me
So let me take your hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh.

Clear Blue Sky

Well you caught me at a bad time
I was looking for a friend of mine
She was standing at the back of the line
Where no one could see
In the corner of my weary eye
I saw it coming from a clear blue sky
Like the river had run dry
And we were diving in
Always giving me a hard time
Sitting there trying to make up my mind
Looking down at the tears that I cried
Into a pool of sin
But it never was a long term plan
She was living with a different man
And I was left with a dealer's hand
But no way to win
Over the hill, there was you
Over this feeling, I am blue
Over this feeling, I am blue
And the nights kept rolling on
In my head was a soulful song
Gonna be a long time gone
And a long time free
Then she put that ring in my hand
Said her heart was a different land
Where the sun over burning sand
Fell into the sea
So I'm going back in time
Did she fixed on a look in my eye
Giving me a chance to fly
Before it all caved in
But she moved in a different way
and I never felt the same
standing out in the pouring rain
As the light came in
Over the hill, there was you
Over this feeling, I am blue
Over this feeling, I am blue
well, you caught me at a bad time
I was looking for a friend of mine
She was standing at the back of the line
Where no one could see
But in the corner of my weary eye
I saw it coming from a clear blue sky
That the river had run dry
And she was diving in
Over the hill, there was you
Over this feeling, I am blue
Over this feeling, I am blue

Rewind

Tired of running
You're already there
The streets are empty
Rain crashes through the air
Rewind
Remind
All the things we should have known
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
So where have you been
Falling through the night
The moon is winning
Stars are spinning out of sight
Rewind
Remind
All the things we tried to be
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Somehow I am here
There was never any doubt
In the morning now
This ship is sailing south
Rewind
Remind
All the things we tried to be
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Midsummer Song
03:47

That’s you in the morning
Eyes wide to the dawn
Take heart in the morning
Shades of night are gone
Pure sky up above
sure steps in the sun
feel the summer’s glory
now the days are long
Lying in the meadow
through the lazy days of June
You with your holiday face
Smile a signature tune
As you brave your new world
See your cherished past
Way-marking your own life
Thank those who’ve carved your path
Pure sky up above
sure steps in the sun
feel the summer’s glory
now the days are long

The Back Road

Get on the back road
Before you go burning down the highway
Get on the back road
Let your heavy heart break free
Take it easy if you dare
The wind will catch all your cares
You’re never coming back this way
So don’t let the noise make you so blue
Get on the back road
To somewhere new
I’ve been following all the wrong signs
And I’ve been reading some heavy heavy lines
Caught myself one too many times
Picking up where you left me behind
But then the colours change from blue to grey
And something breaks into your life
So get on the back road
Before you go burning down the highway
Get on the back road
And let your heavy heart break free
Take it easy if you dare
The wind will catch all your cares
You’re never coming back this way
So don’t let the noise make you so blue
Get on the back road
To somewhere new
I was going to write you a letter
Tell you everything I know
We were holding out forever
Sunshine and snow

When You're Gone
03:09
|

These are troubled waters
Finding it so hard to cross
Wading ‘gainst the flood
Feel I’ve lost your steadying voice
Getting close to you
Is the hardest thing to do
Shyness makes me mute
Loving’s not my strongest suit
When you’re gone I want you now, want you here
To love me and forever hold me near
Hear you murmuring sweet nothins in my ear
When you’re gone I want you now,
When you’re gone, I want you here
In my mind, we meet
And it all makes sense
I hold my nerve, hold my nerve.
And in my mind you stay,
Stay, stay for good,
S’easy, oh so easy, will you stay for good?
When you’re gone I want you now, want you here
To love me and forever hold me near
Hear you murmuring sweet nothins in my ear
When you’re gone I want you now, want you here [rpt…]

Bonnie and Clyde

If you're looking for a friend
To get you back on the straight again
I will be a friend of yours
You can rest assured
In the heat and in the noise
We will struggle to keep our poise
But we'll ride out in the sun
At the end of every day
If the days are running on
And the night comes on too strong
Put your arms around the moon
Just before the dawn
Over and over you tell me
To give it up and keep on moving on
Over and over your story
Fills all the spaces in this song
Running round mile after mile
I see the strain that's in your eyes
You know what I want you to do
To make it turn out right
Trying to live the way we do
Same old deal
And the same two fools
You are Bonny and I am Clyde
And this is how it ends
Over and over you tell me
To give it up and keep on moving on
Over and over your story
Fills all the spaces in this song
If you're looking for a friend
To get you back on the straight again
I will be that friend of yours
You can rest assured
In the heat and in the noise
We will struggle to keep our poise
But we'll ride out in the sun
At the end of every day

Friends and Lovers

Oh river I’m lost again
Let me in to this pain
Oh river I’m lost and gone again
Oh river I’m lost again
Twist and turned to what end?
Oh river I’m lost and gone again
Is this the beginning or the end?
Is this the beginning or the end?
Is this the beginning or the end?
Why can’t lovers still be friends?
Why can’t lovers still be friends?
Oh river I’m lost again
Got no home, not no friends
Oh river I’m lost and gone again
Oh river I’m lost again
Stolen clothes, borrowed trends,
Oh river I’m lost and gone again
Is this the beginning or the end?
Is this the beginning or the end?
Is this the beginning or the end?
Why can’t lovers still be friends?
Why can’t lovers still be friends?

This Day
03:59

If you want me to come around just say so
You know I’m waiting in the darkness
Just for something from you
And the night time
Doesn’t call me like it used to
Only you can bring me dreams now
Only you can pull me through
The lights are beautiful
The stars are clear
Listen to the words we’re gonna share
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day, this is the day
Take a flower and tell me that it’s perfect
The colours of a lifetime
A feeling that it’s near
I’ll be waiting in the shadow of this hour
What will my heart let me say
You have all my fear
I see the future like I see your smile
The hardest thing is just to take my time
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day, this is the day

Come Down
03:09
|
|||
|
You’re coming down to greet your day
Coming down and feeling free
It’s only you, and what you want to be,
what you want to see
You’re coming on down
And all this life that leaks away
Every time you hear him say
One more time, one more ride, another play
You’re coming on down
And if you had a mirror
The kind that tells you how you feel
Spin it round to face you
spin it round to trace you running through this town
You’re coming on down
And here’s a message from your soul
Bathing in the light you know
You try to get away, listen for the sound
But you’re not around
You’re coming on down
And if you had a mirror
The kind that tells you how you feel
Spin it round to face you,
spin it round to trace you running through this town,
You’re coming on down
You’re coming down to greet your day
Coming down and feeling free
It’s only you what you want to be, what you want to see
You’re coming on down
Coming on down
Coming on down
