Holy Water

(howe/thomas)

In my life, there's been changes
But nothing seems to satisfy me the way you do, no
You make it easy, the way you please me, everytime i'm close to you
All this temptation, i can't see wrong from right
It's a new sensation, you know i'm blinded by the light

Chorus:
(feels like) i'm walking on holy water
Feels like i'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(feels like) i'm walking on holy water, everytime (that) you come 'round

You were all i ever wanted, never had a girl in my life 'til i met you, oh
No
I got a certain feeling, you got my senses reeling
Whenever i get close to you
You're my salvation, i found you just in time
My one temptation, you know i can't believe you're mine

Chorus:
(feels like) i'm walking on holy water
Feels like i'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(feels like) i'm walking on holy water, everytime (that) you come 'round

Ooh yeah, it's funny how it see,s like yesterday, lovin' of the first degree
One word was all i heard you say, ooh baby
It's funny what you've done to me, just wanna see you run to me

(solo)

All this temptation, i can't see wrong from right
It's a new sensation, you know i'm blinded by the light

Chorus repeats out...
(feels like) i'm walking on holy water
Feels like i'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(feels like) i'm walking on holy water, everytime (that) you come 'round

(howe/thomas)

Should have told you by now, but i can't find the words, oh no
If i could show you somehow, but i don't have the nerve, oh yeah

You don't see me looking at you, how can love be so blind
Somehow you don't notice me, sooner or later there will come a time, baby

Chorus:
If you need somebody, the way that i need you
If you wanted somebody, the way that i want you

Oh yeah, the way that i want you

If i could hold you tonight, it would last me forever
But the time's never right, when will we be together, oh no

If i could make you understand, what you're doing to me
Maybe there will come a time, when sooner or later i will make you see, baby

Chorus:
If you need somebody, the way that i need you
If you wanted somebody, the way that i want you

Ooh, if i could tell you now, the way you make me feel
Ooh, if i could show you somehow, don't you know my lovin' is oh so real

(solo)

Chorus:
If you need somebody, the way that i need you
If you wanted somebody, the way that i want you

(if you need somebody) i need you, i want you, i gotta tell you
The way that i need you
And if you wanted somebody, the way that i want you...

Who's that girl, looking kinda innocent and shy
I've been told, she's the kinda girl that waves you goodbye
Bad reputation, rumours going 'round
My friends are talking, putting her down
Ooh that girl, i really wanna know that girl

Gonna walk right up, get next to you, gonna tell you babe, what i'm gonna do

Chorus:
I don't care what people say - i want you, yes i do
I don't care what people say - i want you, yes i do

I don't care, everybody thinks i'm a fool
I'm aware, loving you ain't considered cool
I never worry what people say
You know my mind's made up, there's only one way
Ooh that girl, i really wanna know that girl

Gonna make my move, play my hand, got a lot to prove, make you understand

Chorus
I don't care what people say - i want you, yes i do
I don't care what people say - i want you, yes i do

So get ready, i'm comin' through, know what to say, know what to do
I've looked you up, looked you down, you're the kinda woman, i want around

(solo)

Bad reputation, rumours going 'round
My friends are talking, putting her down
Ooh that girl, i really wanna know that girl

Gonna walk right up, get next to you, gonna tell you babe, what i'm gonna do

Chorus repeats out...
I don't care what people say - i want you, yes i do
I don't care what people say - i want you, yes i do

(ralphs/thomas)

Every night as i sit on my own, i still think i can hear you
I can't stand all this being alone, i just gotta be near you
I don't know if you're coming back, sometimes i could scream
But every night i know i'll see you, you still live in my dreams

Chorus:
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Oh that is the time, when you come around

You left and my world fell apart, and i was desperate to find you
I want you back but where do i start, i need help to remind you
I don't know if you'll ever remember, when love reigned supreme
The only time that i get to see you now, is here in my dreams

Chorus:
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Oh that is the time, when you come around

(solo)

Oh babe when you come back, and put and end to this pain
Meantime if i close my eyes, i'll see you again

Chorus repeats out...
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Oh that is the time, when you come around

(howe/thomas)

Bobby's going out tonight, looking for trouble
Everybody likes to fight sometimes
Heading south on 41, straight for the action
Meeting the boys at the county line

He kicks it into overdrive, really puts that pedal down
Feels so good to be alive, he's had enough of being pushed around

Bobby and the boys walk in, the heads start turning
They don't like no strangers in this place, no no
Everybody's acting tough, words get spoken
And someone pulls a knife in bobby's face

He turns away but it's too late, he's gotta face them on his own
Left him there to meet his fate, bobby's never going home

Chorus:
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line

Mary's waiting home tonight, she's dreaming of church bells
Bobby says the day is getting near
Mary hears the doorbell ring, the blue lights are flashing
At 2 am her dreams all disappear

Mary's world is turning upside down, she's been left here on her own
Her world is spinning 'round and 'round, bobby's never coming home

Chorus:
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line

He said that soon their lives would be as one
Looks like you're gonna be the lonely one

(solo)

Maybe in a year or two, she'll find someone of her own
Mary don't you wait around, bobby's never coming home

Chorus repeats 2x
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line

(howe/thomas)

I had your picture, i had it there on the wall
It's been a long time, i didn't notice it fall
Just goes to show you, things get strange, there's nothin', nothin' i can do
You got your own life, i got mine, i still got feelings for you

And i wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right
Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight
If you call me tonight

Chorus:
I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name

I got no answers, sometimes i just wanna shout
Which way to turn now, can't seem to figure this out
I haven't seen you in oh so long, nothin', nothin' seems to fade
Tried to forget you, but you won't go, ooh the memories we made

And i tried so hard to fight it, but it keeps comin' through
Ooh you were all i ever wanted, i'm waiting for you, if you wanted me too

Chorus
I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name

(solo)

And i wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right
Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight
If you call me tonight

Chorus repeats out...
I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name

(howe/kirke/thomas)

There's a crazy moon, a crazy sky, looking down on me
I've been losing track of time
It's been the hardest day, the longest night i've ever spent alone
I can't get you off my mind

You know what i've been missing, do i really have to say
We talk but you don't listen, it's not always been that way, no... she's a

Chorus:
Stranger, stranger - you're not the girl i knew, will you ever be the same
You act like a stranger, stranger - tell me it ain't true
Won't you please explain, why you're so strange

In the morning gloom, this empty room, i can see your face
When i look again, you're gone
Your memory, so close to me, it leaves a trace
Won't you tell me what went wrong

No sign, no words, no warning, we can never be the same, no
When you walked out that morning, you know you left nothing but the blame

I know that you're a...

Chorus:
Stranger, stranger - you're not the girl i knew, will you ever be the same
You act like a stranger, stranger - tell me it ain't true
Won't you please explain, why you're so strange

(solo)

Oh, you're a...

Chorus repeats 2x:
Stranger, stranger - you're not the girl i knew, will you ever be the same
You act like a stranger, stranger - tell me it ain't true
Won't you please explain, why you're so strange
