1. _ Romantic Balcony
The sun is almost down
and we are both enjoying the sound
of the ocean softly brushing against the land
We are sleeping you and me
with a smell of tulip tree
under the starry sky on a romantic balcony
But a pain inside my chest
wakes me up
The truth is slowly spreading on the
smokey battlefield
I am bleeding from my heart and I...
I feel so tired
I guess I have to rest for a while
Chorus:
High above this world
missing your love
I can see your face in tears
when you so far away from here
read the messages from the war:
"The battle took one more"
I wanna tell the nurse a secret
my lips won't move
Oh she really looks like you
Chorus:
High (nothing can touch us now)
above (no one to tell us how
this world (I am sorry for the soldiers)
missing your love (who are still alive in the war
Hey you
I wanna live
I don't wanna be a wounded soldier
don't wanna let your face grow older
Hey you
take me to the ocean
take me to the smell of tulip tree
to the romantic balcony

2. _ Out of the Blue
I was almost about to lose my faith
Was still dreaming but feared it was too late
But then you came along to my surprise
and stole my heart before my very eyes
Chorus:
You took me right out of the blue
simply by showing that you love me too
only by giving me your everything
with a love so true you took me out of the blue
I was wondering what love was all about
I was trying but couldn |
3. _ Someday
In my search for freedom
and peace of mind
I've left the memories behind
Wanna start a new life
but it seems to be rather absurd
when I know the truth
is that I always think of you
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby
I will take and you will take your time
We'll wait for our fate
cos' nobody owns us baby
We can shake we can shake the rock
Try to throw the picture out of my mind
try to leave the memories behind
Here by the ocean
wave's carry voices from you
Do you know the truth
I am thinking of you too
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby...
The love we had together
just fades away in time
And now you've got your own world
and I guess I've got mine
But the passion that you planted
in the middle of my heart
is a passion that will never stop

4. _ I'm Gonna Come Back
Building it up tearing it down
the circle goes round and around
Lessons are learned and bridges burned
I'm hoping the tide will turn
I'm gonna change direction
just for my own protection
A flag is up I see the sign
It's just a matter of time
The wind will blow and the trees will bend
nothing is left in the end
It isn't my desire
to set the world on fire
Chorus:
I'm gonna come back when the war is over
when you're ready to make amends
Fill up the cracks and find the pieces
then put them all back again
I see you there in the air
nothing to break your fall
The damage is done you've had your fun
who is gonna pay for it all
It isn't my desire
to set the world on fire
Chorus:
I'm gonna come back when the war is over
when you're ready to make amends
Fill up the cracks and find the pieces
then put them all back again
I'm turning my back as the walls are falling
staying away till the dust is gone
I'm under attack and a voice is calling
better stay away something's wrong
|
5. _ The Actor
He takes you out and he takes you up
'cause he can show you so much
I go to bed and tomorrow again
there's a lot of work to be done
He gives you gold and he'll promise you
the whole world will be yours
I just can tell you I love you so
even though my odds are low
Chorus:
I'm not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
that you will love me anyway
The dirty games and the neonshows
this is the world he knows
Watching the stars satisfies my soul
thinking of him makes me feel so cold
The fancy cars and the restaurants
you're just so fond of the man
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
can't you see, he's got dirt on his mind
Chorus:
I'm not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car...

6. _ I'm Gonna Be Around
It's been so long since we took the time
to share words from deep inside us
We're in our own world spinning our wheels
but you know how I feel
Well since the first time I took your hand
my love for you has just been growing
You always seem to understand
You know how I am
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend
I wanna share your ups and downs
I'm gonna be around
When you're alone and I'm away
don't be sad don't be afraid
I'm gonna turn my thoughts to you
like I always do
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend...
Catch you when you fall
Hold you when you |
7. _ Wild Women
Can I act like an angel
if I live like a jerk
Can I keep on disguising
Can I make believe
that I don't deceive
No..no..no
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
Dirty money in the left hand
While the preacher's shaking my right hand
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
When I'm riding on top of
the wave of success
Will I lose my devotion
Will I fail to see
what I used to be
oh..oh..oh
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor...
I'll have to carry on
as two persons in one

8. _ Sleeping Child
The Milky Way upon the heavens
The Milky Way upon the heavens
is twinkling just for you
is twinkling just for you
and Mr. Moon he came by
and Mr. Moon he came by
to say goodnight to you
to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
We're praying for the world
and for the people everywhere
and for the people everywhere
gonna show them all we care
gonna show them all we care
Chorus:
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around the world
If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars
we'd have no fighting and no wars
there would be lasting peace on Earth
there would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders
If all the kings and all the leaders
could see you here this way
could see you here this way
they would hold the Earth in their arms
they would hold the Earth in their arms
they would learn to watch you play
they would learn to watch you play
Chorus:
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild
Keep you away from the world so wild

9. _ Complicated Heart
Don't know what to say now
don't know where to start
I don't know how to handle
a complicated heart
You tell me you are leaving
but I just have to say
before you throw it all away
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
Don't know what you're thinking
to me it seems quite tough
to hold a conversation
when words are not enough
so this is your decision
and there's nothing I can do
I can only say to you
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
|
10. _ Strange Foreign Beauty
Strange foreign beauty
I'll never know what's in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
does anyone know the secret of your mind
Strange foreign beauty
I'll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
does anyone know the secret of your life
Strange foreign beauty
You'll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
are slipping away disappearing in the air
Post chorus:
(You'll) never know what I felt for you
you were always on my mind
(I'll) never know how it feels to hold you
how it feels to be with you

11. _ Something You Should Know
Drifting back to a time gone by
she was in my life
Now I'm watching her from my car
Someone bought her rollerskates
God am I too late?
Did somebody else take my place?
She's getting closer
and as I roll the window down
I spoke and then she turned around
And I said:
Chorus:
There is something you should know
I could never let you go
because I miss you so
Baby when the time is right
together we will fight
to get you in my life
Looking back through misty eyes
but with a fathers pride
I drive away in my car
It doesn't matter baby
if it takes a year or two
Someday
you're gonna find the truth
And I thought
Chorus:
There is something you should know
I could never let you go...

12. _ Breaking My Heart
I'm on the floor
counting one minute more
No one to break the silence
Staring into the night
all alone but that's alright
It's the feeling deep inside I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again
This is where our journey ends
Your breaking my heart again
Here in my bed
counting the words you've said
They linger in the shadows
Coming home late at night
drunk again but that's alright
It's the look in your eyes I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again...
