Was it just a dream about you?
Just a wish to come true?
Was I looking for a feeling that I thought I knew?
Because I didn't know what to do
When I found your love
it was beating in my heart
Guess I been faking my time
Made believe I was fine
While you were laying something real and warm
Inside me
And I didn't know
Until I found your love
It was beating in my heart
All my dreams they're all for yesterday
My wishes; they don't come true (do they?)
Now my heart is full of memories
Sweet memories of love
And loving you
Just a dream to come true!
A wish about you!
But I got a feeling that you always knew
Just what I would do
When I found your love
Beating in my heart
All my dreams they're all for yesterday
My wishes; they don't come true (do they?)
Now my heart is full of memories
Sweet memories of love
And loving you
loving you
loving you

Hangzhou City Streets

He sat back and watched the rain wash down the windows of the train
On the Hangzhou City Line
And from the corner of his eye he could swear
He saw the lights of London pass him by
Hey hey....its another day
Hey hey, its another day
Looking back to where he once believed his name and face were sacred- but how could they be?
Now the home he gave his heart to was as distant as the echoes of his morning dream
Hey hey....its another day
Hey hey, its another day
He layed back and let the fingers of his lover play another song
upon his skin
it was days like these he couldnt say just where his world ends
and life begins
Hey hey....its another day
Hey hey, its another day
He sat down and all around him were the voices and sounds of
Hangzhou City Streets
And all he needed from his mind was the time to find
the spaces in between
Hey hey....its another day
Hey hey, its another day
Sitting back and watching rain wash down the windows of the train
on the hangzhou city line
and from the corner of his eye he swore he saw the lights of London
passing by
bye bye
bye bye
bye bye

Sunshine and April Rain

Daffodils are swaying
Lavender-blue for her hair
Sunshine and April Rain
Colouring the sky again
Like a new song in the air
Whippoorwills are playing
Pigeons pitch and coo
like they don't really care
Sky lark she calls to you
Flies so high she 's lost from view
but her new song fills the air
Could you hold a miracle
Safe in your hands?
To know it makes sense...
But not understand?
Touching your lips I hear what they're saying
Brushing the dew from your hair
Sunshine and April rain
Colouring the sky again
like a new song in the air
Could you hold a miracle
Safe in your hands?
To know it makes sense...
and not understand?
Daffodils; swaying
lavender blue for her hair
Sunshine and April Rain colouring the sky again
like a new song in the air
Sunshine and April Rain colouring the sky again
like a new song in the air

To a sweeter Sound

So now you’ve found yourself a softer sound
One that sings right through
The very heart of you
And now you know what you were running from
was just one more lost and lonely part of you
But there’s not a bad bone in your body
Not a bad beat in your heart
not a bad bone in your body
Not a bad beat in your heart
And now your dancing to a sweeter tune
One that moves in you
And all around you too
And now you know a place in you
Where you can go if the world comes down on you
because there’s not a bad bone in your body
Not a bad beat in your heart
not a bad bone in your body
Not a bad beat in your heart
And I know you understand;
No one here can take this from you now
This new song in your hand
No one else can sing it for you
Yes I know you understand;
No one here can take this from you now
This new song in your hand
No one else can sing it for you
So now you’ve found yourself
A softer sound
One that sings right through
The heart of you

Love aint Free

So if I change my mind
There's a good chance that you'll still find me
in the morning
Because I wouldn't be so unkind
to think about things too clearly
without warning
We could be lovers
If Love was easy
We could be lovers
If love was free
If love was free
And if you change your style
There's a good chance I'd still recognise your laughter
And it would just be for a while
Until you catch your breath
The morning after
We could be lovers
If Love was easy
We could be lovers
If love was free
If love was free
So if we change our minds
there's a chance that we might find a life
worth the taking
And it don't mean that we'll die
if sometimes we don't smile
Or our hearts are breaking
We could be lovers
But Love ain't easy
We could be lovers
But love ain't free
But love ain't free
But love ain't free
love ain't free
no love ain't free

I was walking with your angel
on the road to Whitley Bay:
We stopped to watch the moon dance on the sand
...talking to your angel
I said "is there something you're trying to say?"
she took my heart
and then she took my hand
...she took my hand
She looked up to the sky
she took a pocket full of stars
she put the whole world in her hand
and that looked fine
...she looked into my eye and said
"The reason for your life....
..is to 'be there' for that angel child of mine:
just be there for that angel child of mine"
Then she lifted to the sky
and took a pocket full of stars
and cast them on the sea
and that looked fine
"whenever you see this sight
you know the reason for your life
just be there for
that angel child of mine...
Be there for that angel child of mine..."
Walking with your angel
on the road to Whitley Bay
...We stopped to watch the moon dance
on the sand

Not asking why
04:05
|

Once more; your dreams are calling
and your heart seems to know, the places you would go to
but this world; the one you're looking for
its nothing more than the faces that know you now
... and I know; nothing can hurt you
even though I've seen you cry.
If you go; wherever you're leaving
whatever you need: I'm not asking why
I'm not asking why
So long; those tears are falling;
you leave so much behind
each time you stay
Hold on; for just one more night...
and then you find; you've dreamed your life away!
...and I know; nothing can beat you
even though; sometimes you hide away
if you go ; wherever you're leaving
whatever you need; I'm not asking why
I'm not asking why
We've got nothing to lose if we've got nothing to give...
and we know: whatever we choose; we got something to live for
... I know; nothing can touch you
even though you reach out sometimes.
and I'll go, wherever you need me to be by your side; not asking why
... I know, nothing can touch you;
even though you reach out sometimes.
and I'll go, wherever you need me to be by your side; not asking why
not asking why
we got nothing lose: I'm not asking why
Wherever you go: I'm not asking why
...and whatever you choose: I'm not asking why!
I'm not asking why...
