YOU WERE TOLD WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER THAT
YOU DIDN’T NEED TO FEAR THE DARK
WHEN ALL THE WORLD SHINED LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
THERE WAS NOTHING BAD AT ALL BUT THE DARK
THEN YOU GREW UP AND ON AND WISER YOU SAY
STILL YOU KNOW BEHIND EACH PERFECT DAY
IT’S ALWAYS WAITING THERE…
THE DARK

TRAVEL THROUGH MY MIND AND IN BETWEEN
THOUGHTS AND DREAMS IT LIVES
THE DARK
AND WHERE DID YOU GO NOW I SAW IN YOUR EYES
A MOMENT YOU ESCAPED INTO THE DARK
EVERY PLANET, EVERY LIVING CELL
BREATHING ONLY TO COMPARE ITSELF
TO THE SPACE BETWEEN
THE DARK

TIME ILLUSION MIND CONFUSION
THE ANSWER NEEDS NO QUESTION
ONLY YES

TRAVEL THROUGH MY MIND AND IN BETWEEN
MY LOVE FOR YOU IT LIVES
THE DARK
AND WHERE DO WE GO NOW IT’S NEVER CLEAR
BUT I’LL BE WAITING HERE FOR YOU IN THE DARK
EVERY PLANET, EVERY LIVING CELL
BREATHING ONLY TO COMPARE ITSELF
TO THE SPACE BETWEEN
THE DARK

YOU WERE TOLD WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER THAT
YOU DIDN’T NEED TO FEAR
THE DARK

One day I made a wish
And mostly it came true
But I forgot to be specific
Now I’m trying to get to you
But you don’t get me

I said a branch has snapped
You said the whole tree died
And I knew you were right
But I recall the sunlight on autumn leaves

Overcast in amber
Twisting in the wind
You pretty thief
Snuck through an open door
Then faded by the cold winter’s eve

Another year has passed
Saw you walking to her car
Holding her hand
Opening her door
What did it mean
Who was it all for?

And It’s there my love
The days remain alive
One chapter, you and I
Shining like sunlight on autumn leaves

Overcast in amber
Twisting in the wind
You pretty thief
Snuck through an open door
Then faded by the cold winter’s eve

ONLY FAR AWAY

ONLY FAR AWAY

SUMMER SUN IS SINKING
I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M THINKING
BUT I’M ONLY
SITTING IN A CAFE OR DRIVING IN YOUR CAR
DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M FEELING
BUT I’M ONLY FAR AWAY

THE NIGHT’S APPROACHING LIKE A FIGHTER TO THE STAGE
IF I’M IN FOR IT SOMEHOW I’M NOT AFRAID
AM I PICKING UP THAT YOUR HEART MIGHT BE GONE?
IF IT IS THEN BRING IT ON

SUMMER SUN IS FALLING
UNDERNEATH THE TIDE
FEEL MY LIFE IS CALLING AND THE FUTURE’S
READY FOR A HAMMER
RIGHT OVER MY HEAD
IF YOUR LOVE IS GONE I’M GOING TO BED

THE NIGHT’S APPROACHING LIKE A FIGHTER TO THE STAGE
IF I’M IN FOR IT SOMEHOW I’M NOT AFRAID
AM I PICKING UP THAT YOUR HEART’S NEARLY GONE?
IF IT IS THEN BRING IT ON
BRING IT ON, BRING IT ON

SUMMER SUN IS SINKING
YOU CALL ME ON THE PHONE
YOUR VOICE IS FRIGHTENED SAYING ‘WHERE’VE YOU GONE?’
I’M NOT ANYWHERE BUT WHERE I AM TODAY
DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M FEELING
I’M ONLY FAR AWAY
I’M ONLY FAR AWAY

HE WAS WAITIN’ AT THE BUSTOP
IN HOLLYWOOD AT 2AM
I DROVE RIGHT BY AT FIRST
THEN CIRCLED AROUND AGAIN
HE WAS WEARIN’ A SUNDAY SUIT
A FOLDED KERCHIEF IN HIS POCKET
SITTIN’ PERFECT AND POLITE
LIKE A NIGHTLIGHT IN A SOCKET

I SAID ‘EXCUSE ME SIR, BUT THESE BUSES…
THEY DON’T RUN THIS TIME OF NIGHT’
‘AND IF YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU’RE HEADED
I COULD HELP YOU WITH A RIDE
AND HE SAID ‘OH I DIDN’T KNOW THAT
AND THANK YOU YES YOU CAN’
SO I HELPED HIM UP IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
A FRAIL AND KIND OLD MAN

PARTNERS IN TIME
PARTNERS IN TIME

NOW CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION
WELL THAT’S THE FIRST THING I SHOULD KNOW
HE SAID ‘I’M ON MY WAY TO WORK
BUT I’M NOT SURE WHICH WAY TO GO’
SO I PARKED AND WE JUST SAT THERE
BOTH OF US CONFUSED
WHEN FINALLY HE PUSHED UP HIS SUIT SLEEVE
HIS ARM WAS AGED AND BRUISED
HE HAD AN OLD SILVER BRACELET
WITH AN ADDRESS AND A NUMBER
HE LIVED A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY AND I SAID
‘NOW WE’RE GETTIN’ SOMEWHERE’

PARTNERS IN TIME
PARTNERS IN TIME

SO I HEADED EAST ON MELROSE
AND PULLED RIGHT UP TO HIS HOME
A WOMAN IN AN NIGHTGOWN
SHE CAME RUNNIN’ OUT ALONE
AND AS SHE OPENED UP HIS DOOR
HE PUT HIS HAND ON MINE
AND HE JUST HELD IT FOR A MINUTE
BEFORE THEY WENT INSIDE

AND I WENT BACK TO MY APARTMENT
TO STAY UP TILL THE DAWN
I WOKE UP IN THE AFTERNOON
WITH MY WORKIN’ CLOTHES STILL ON

PARTNERS IN TIME
PARTNERS IN TIME

I FEEL SO FRIGHTENED AND ALIVE

WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK LOOKIN’ DOWN INTO THE CRACKS
THINKIN’ BACK WHEN TIMES WERE BETTER, AND HOW THERE IS NO LOOKIN’ BACK
GOIN’ THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF EMOTIONS BLACK AND WHITE
AND HOW EVERY STEP I MADE HAS BEEN A LOT MORE WRONG THAN RIGHT

I WANDERED OFF INTO A WASTELAND LIKE A STRANGE NEW UNIVERSE
THE SUN WAS SINKIN’ LOW, I THINK I TOOK A TURN FOR WORSE
NOTHIN’ LOOKED FAMILIAR, EMPTY STREETS AND FOREIGN SIGNS
A LONG WAY FROM HOME, AND THE LIFE I LEFT BEHIND

THAT’S WHEN I CROSSED THE BORDER
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART
NO ANGELS WERE SINGING
NO WATERS DID PART
JUST SOMETHING THAT FELT SURE ENOUGH
TO EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME

NOW THEY ASK ‘DID YOU SEE FIREWORKS?’
‘AND DID SHE TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY?’
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, WELL THAT’S A GAME YOUNG LOVERS PLAY
BUT JUST WHAT KINDA WOMAN FALLS THAT HARD IN RECORD TIME?
…A WOMAN WHO CAN TURN ON A DIME

THAT’S WHEN I CROSSED THE BORDER
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART
NO ANGELS WERE SINGING
NO WATERS DID PART
JUST SOMETHING THAT FELT STRONG ENOUGH
TO LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME

THE KINDNESS IN YOUR SMILE ASKED FOR NOTHING IN RETURN
AND THE GENTLE WAY YOU LISTENED TAUGHT ME I HAD MORE TO LEARN
NO FOOLISH EXPECTATIONS OR TEENAGE CONSEQUENCE
I GUESS TRUE LOVE REQUIRES RESPECT
AND SOME COMMON SENSE

TONIGHT I CROSSED THE BORDER
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART
AND NOW THE ANGELS ARE SINGIN’
AND THE WATERS DID PART
‘CAUSE SOMETHING MAGIC HAPPENED THAT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME
THE BORDER TO YOUR HEART WAS RIGHT IN TIME

They’re taking away my home
They’re taking away my home
They can’t leave me alone
They can’t leave me alone
And what’s a man to do
When all he thought was true, it just ain’t so

They’re diggin’ up my yard
They’re diggin’ up my yard
Makin’ easy hard
Yeah they’re making easy hard
And where’s a man to go
When everything he knows was just a show

No bombs to blast
No guns to fire
No call to arms across the wire
A flag will raise to end the fight
That’s hidden in plain sight

It’s a complicated world
A complicated world
Black white boy or girl
Black white boy or girl
Ya paste the TV news
And blame all of our blues on our own

No coup de main
No F-15’s
No government
Just kings and queens
Who’ll raise the flag to end a fight
That’s hidden in plain sight

They’re taking away my home
They’re taking away my home
They can’t leave me alone
No they can’t leave me alone

I’LL MISS YOU

WAY DOWN LATE WHEN THE ROOM IS BLUE
I CAN’T STAY AWAKE WITHOUT DREAMING OF YOU
IT’S HARD TO ACCEPT THIS FEELING INSIDE
KEEPS CHIPPING AWAY MY PRIDE
I’LL MISS YOU

I WENT OUT TONIGHT
YEAH OUT ON THE TOWN
FEELING ALONE AND TRYING NOT TO LOOK DOWN
IT’S HARD TO ADMIT THAT SOMEBODY ELSE
IS YOUR FASCINATION NOW
I’LL MISS YOU YEAH I’LL MISS YOU

AH
YOU MUST’VE THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE SOMETHING
WHEN YOU TOLD ME LIES LIKE IT WAS NOTHING
YEAH YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE SOMETHING
*KISS*

WELL I THANK THE DAY WHEN WE ONCE MET
YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING OF LOVE I’LL NEVER FORGET
YEAH YOU TAUGHT ME TO FEEL WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE WANTED
AND NOW IT’S MY TURN TO LEARN
ABOUT BEING REJECTED

AND IT’S HARD ADMIT THAT EVEN IF WE TRIED
THE TEARS HAVE ALL BEEN CRIED
BUT I’LL MISS YOU
YEAH I’LL MISS YOU

GOODBY MY LOVE GOODBYE
I’LL MISS YOU
GOODBYE

BUT WHEN YOUR EYES FELT MORE LIKE DANGER
I KNEW SOMETHING HEAVY WAS GONNA FALL

CAUSE YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU’RE BEING LIED TO
YEAH YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO
YOU PLAY SOME MUSIC THAT YOU CRY TO
WHEN YOU’RE BEING LIED TO

I GROW WEARY OF THE CROWD NOW
WHEN IT’S HARD TO BEND A SMILE
IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD NOW
IT JUST MIGHT BE FOR AWHILE

SO WHEN YOUR HEART IS FEELING RESTLESS
WHEN THERE’S TROUBLE ON YOUR MIND
HERE COMES A DREAM TO SHINE A LIGHT ON
THE ONE THING THAT YOU’VE BEEN DENYIN’

CAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’RE BEING LIED TO

Headlines riot in the wind
A mad world on a firing pin
Come whatever, we will never live in this moment again
So let ’em scream and let ’em shout
Can’t run but we can tune ’em out
Cause we’ve got better, and love is forever
And you’re all I really wanna do

Fear is the sound that they sell by the pound
Never short on supply and demand’s record high

Shadows dancing on a wall
With a war to benefit us all
But we know better
And they’ll fight forever
And you’re all I really wanna do

So let’s celebrate and stay out until late
We’ve got nothing but time left and no time to waste

Take my hand and hold it tight
For I promise you tonight
Come whatever we’ll stick together
Cause you’re all I really wanna do
Yeah you’re all I really wanna do
