What do you do with nothing on a rainy day? What do you say when there’s nothing more to say? What would you have if all you had to do was ask? What would you say if they came around and took it back? Would you want it back at all? What did I see was that just a little tear in you eye? What would you say if I told you I’m not surprised? I’m not asking I’m not asking because I know I’m not asking I’m not asking because I know What do you do when everything is going wrong? What do you dream when dreams are gone? I’m not asking I’m not asking because I know I’m not asking I’m not asking because I know What do you dream when you’re alone at night? What could I say to make it all right? I’m just asking I’m just asking ‘cos I don’t know I’m just asking ‘cos I don’t know……

Little Liar 04:04
Sit around here in my rocking chair Telling myself that I don’t care Telling myself that some folks never change Well I’m all wrapped up in your apologies I’ve heard the words that you say to me And I don’t believe a single thing you say Little liar Your stories are as false as you are I don’t need them here today Little liar Your stories are as false as you are I don’t need them here today Little liar Now I could tell you a thing or two It might be false and it might be true But it will all come flooding back to you some day And I’ll sit around here in my rocking chair Telling myself that I don’t care Telling myself that some folks never change Little liar Your stories are as false as you are I don’t need them here today Little liar Little liar Your stories are as false as you are I don’t need them here today Little liar Now I could tell you a thing or two It might be false and it might be true But it will all come flooding back to you some day And I’ll sit around here in my rocking chair Telling myself that I don’t care Telling myself that some folks never change Little liar, little liar, little liar Little liar, little liar, little liar Your stories are as false as you are yeh…...

Yes 04:35
She’s naked, sleeping in my bed And I’m wondering, is there anywhere That she’d rather be I hate it when she’s not around She’s just too easy to lose And oh so hard to keep Just too easy to lose And oh so hard to keep It’s another day that you just don’t want to end She wakes up and whispers “Come on, let’s do it again” Let’s leave the world out there waiting Let’s leave the world out there waiting And I say yes No politics no lies no tricks No paper house to crumble in the rain She knows all my vices There were no surprises in the end It’s just another day in paradise It would be nice it would be nice If she could stay Oh I know I’m alive yes I know I’m alive when she says Let’s leave the world out there waiting Let’s leave the world out there waiting And I say yes She’s naked still sleeping in my bed My hands are wandering and I’m wondering What goes on in her head She says I’m crazy, this is crazy Then she says oh then she says Let’s leave the world out there waiting Let’s leave the world out there waiting And I say yes I believe, I believe, She says she doesn’t disagree And I say yes

Maybe 04:34
She, she likes better things Bright blue oceans fill her dreams And all her seas are brilliant green She says she won’t fall in love again She’s had enough of them And I know just what she means And how she dreams Do you see my face when you’re sleeping? Do you call my name when you’re dreaming? Do I always disappear? Will I always disappear? Maybe, just maybe… Then she says I get tired of fighting endlessly I just wanna be who I wanna be Then she dreams it all again And she says maybe someday I don’t know And she says maybe someday I don’t know I don’t know…. She is the ocean in my dreams She is drowning me She is drowning me Then she says maybe………..

Shine 05:22
You've got to let it in before you let it out You can laugh and sing feel the colours all around I’ll meet you at the sunset I’ll meet you at the dawn We could pass these crazy days Up where we belong Up where we belong We could shine shine shine If only we made up our minds We know we’re just wasting time We could shine shine shine Lucky needs the money Lucky wants some love Lucky sees the days roll away Seeing only only what he ain't got And he knows that it’s a lot And sometimes sometimes it gets too much But he could shine shine shine If only he made up his mind He knows he’s just wasting time He could shine shine shine Somewhere deep inside us Somewhere where we hide ourselves We keep ourselves alone Got to find a love to guide us Help us find a way Bring us home

Love Fades 02:23
It’s funny how life just slips away It’s funny how I feel today It’s funny how I want to feel this way Maybe I just need to feel this way A little grey It’s funny how nothing stays the same It’s funny how nothing seems to change It's funny how we all just look away Maybe I will never even know her name As love just fades away As love just fades away As love just fades away……

Love 05:17
This heart’s like a parking space Put 4 walls around it Build an empty frame Just can’t place the blame It just gets lost around this place These trouble bubbles floating all around me If they burst now will they drown me? I’m just walking in the rain And time moves on, time moves on The song, the song remains But I would give you anything Anything you know I don’t want anything Not anything, not anything But let your love touch me Your love heal me Your love teach me what I need to know Who shone that light into my eyes? Left me hollow, left me blind for a moment Something cold got a hold on me Now it won’t let go, no it won’t let go But I would give you anything Anything you know I don’t want anything, not anything But let you love touch me Your love heal me Your love teach me what I need to know Rain down on me, rain down on me Give me love, give me love

All My Love 08:23
The rags of love here in my hands Torn and tattered A battered heart in a winter land Lose this bag of bones Let it crumble to the desert sands For the ways of this world Are not the ways of this man? Count the hours in shades of blue Drain the colours from me and you Would we know the truth? Do we ever really know the truth? It’s sad to say we never learn We never learn no matter what we do All my love don’t throw it away All my love Just give it back Just give it back I might need it to save my soul someday Now an empty bottle floats away Sends no message not much to say To a world so cruel breaks all the rules Hey what have we done? As we lay asleep the walls of peace Came tumbling down All my love don’t throw it away….

Slipped Away 04:28
Just like it never happened Just like it never was You slipped away so silently I watched you leave It wasn't love Now do you imagine how it might have been? Do you still wonder? Do you still have dreams? You've got all the reason to believe That you don’t need no-one to set you free Now we've got nothing more to say We've got nothing Now we've got nothing more to say Just like it never happened Just like it never was You slipped away You slipped away You slipped away Now’s the time to let you know I'm letting go, just letting go I turn myself inside out Wash you out, clear the doubt Clear the doubt Gonna make you disappear Gotta make you disappear Now we've got nothing more to say We've got nothing Now we've got nothing more to say We've got nothing Just like it never happened Just like it never was You slipped away You slipped away You slipped away

Castaway 03:08
Danger signs jump the lights tonight on the razor’s edge Hands off sacrificing take your prize my friend It’s over now it’s over now questions still remain It’s over now over now well the answer’s on the wind But you let it slip away You left me castaway Castaway Touch the sky a moon so high might just float away Find a rainbow find a pot of gold Where did they hide it? Where did they hide it? But you let it slip away You left me castaway Castaway Now all, all we said just vanished on the waves Left me castaway Now all, all we said just vanished in the haze Left me castaway Castaway You left me castaway….
