Selected Lyrics
Pictures
Haunt me .... taunt me
Flaunt in front of me
All those things
I want to forget
I want to remember
I want to forget
Pictures
Staring right back at me
Showing all those things
That I don't want to see
All those things
I want to forget
I want to remember
I want to forget
Images are falling from the frame
Memories are calling out my name
Pictures - Pictures - raining from the sky
They tell you where and when
But they never tell you why
There in the doorway, standing for all to see
Into the overflow
There in the doorway, standing where I can see
And I don't want the show
I don't wanna know, I don't want to go
I been there before, not goin' back there now
I don't want to know, I don't want the show
I do refuse, I do what I choose
I do refuse
I don't wanna know, I don't want to go
I been there before, not goin' back there now
I don't want to know, I don't want the show
I do refuse, I do what I choose
I do refuse
I'm in your arms dear
So hold me tight
I'm gonna love you
Cause it feels right
It's nothing new dear
It's nothing old
I'm in your arms dear
I'm here to hold
And the right time of the day
I'll have the guts to say
This simple message
This simple song
All I'm saying
All along
Is that I love you
I sing it true
So make me happy
I'll do your you
Are you swirling in a room full of doubt
Would you like for me to let you out
There's only one thing that I must make clear
With us together we should have no fear
You get up in the morning
You go to the job you hate
You gotta start living your life
Hurry up it's getting late
Don't go through the motions
Don't you settle for second best
Can't you hear the clock a ticking
Don't you worry 'bout all the rest
Do what you wanna do
Be who you wanna be
Don't let others tell you
That your dreams are make believe
I said
Come on tell yourself
You gotta live your life
Come on tell yourself
It's your life that you don't live twice
You get up in the morning
You go to the job you love
You started living your life
Well thank all your stars above
You see yourself a smiling
Happy that you've done your part
And if you can help somebody
You know it comes from the heart
Lucky lady
Don't feel low
In this crazy life
Troubles will come and go
Lucky lady
Don't feel bad
Close your eyes and picture
The good times that you've had
You've got the money
You've got it all
You've got all the things you want
You're having a ball
Lucky lady
I see a tear
What is it, honey
What do you fear
Lucky lady
But not so much
You've had your bad times
You've had enough
But it's not the money
that's not it at all
You've lost the man you love
You've taken your fall
You've taken your fall
You're having a ball
You've taken your fall
Lyin' in bed, staring at the ceiling
It's 2 am and he can't hide his feelings
His heart's been beating faster than it was before
Too much in the past, there isn't room for more
He lies in bed at night, thinking of regrets
Then he comes to realize, he can change them yet
Turn it around around boy now
Turn it around and around again
Find that it ain't over
Yah you turn it around boy and around boy
Yeah you turn it around again
and you find that it ain't over yet
Walking around, his mind is reeling
It's'a 5 pm and he can't hide his feelings
Owes them all he has he owes them so much more
The past is in the past, there isn't room for more
Knows the way it was, he knows how it should be
Didn't know that he was blind until he learned to see
Well here I go - left the starting line
Going slow but doing fine
Got my girl and my pen and my T.V.
That's all I need
All my bills are paid
I'm on my day off
Took some pills
Got rid of this cough
Got a bonus from work
One hundred dollars more received
Ohh I love the way I feel
I can't believe that this is real
This kind of life sure does appeal
I can't believe that it's real
Went out today
Got us what we need
Even hit on a little weed
Had a nice little visit with some
Friends on down the road
Now I'm sitting at home
And I've smoked a few
Also had a cigarette or two
Think I'll sit back and let myself unload
Ohh I love the way I feel
I can't believe that this is real
This kind of life sure does appeal
I can't believe that it's real
The wind is cold
Blows to the bone
Froze you up
Made you hard as stone
The day is short
And the night is long
A lot of time
To think of what went wrong - oh -
I wake up and wash my face
You lay in put me in my place
Yell and shout, slam the door
I don't know what your leaving for
Took my heart, threw it away
Set me up, witness my decay
What kind of life am I to live
When you took all I had to give
I'll work my way
Through this disarray
Is there anymore
You'd like to say
I know it time
My wounds will heal
But I won't forget
How I feel
You feel the pain
You don't recognize it
Just the same
You don't have to analyze it
You lie alone
You don't think about it
All the same
Can't seem to forget about it
You know what is in your heart
You know when the pain did start
To yourself you cannot lie
You let another love go by - well
You don't need another
Romance in disguise
All you really need is
To open up your eyes
In the clear blue sky
In the great big sky, search all over - to where there's a clue
Far away, out there in the blue,
In the great big sky, search all over- to where there's a clue,
Far away
In your eyes - see you cry - everything's gonna be all right
It'll come to light, it's all over-I can see it in your eyes
In the clear blue sky
In your eyes - see you cry - everything's gonna be all right
It'll come to light, it's all over-I can see it
In your eyes - see you cry - everything's gonna be all right, now now
It'll come to light, it's all over I can see it in your eyes
In the clear blue sky
It's a place, that I run to, land of waste
Though you know I didn't want to
In your way Ð though you know you didn't have to
Save my place, it was always there beside you
Cuz when I look around, to see what I have found, oh yeah
When I hear your sound, it makes me feel this way
Just one look, just one touch, hold me close, it means so much
When I'm with you, and you're with me
Hold me close, say you'll always be with me
In our place, that we both escape to
In our case, it was the only thing we want to do
Cuz when we looked around, to see what we have found oh yeah
We're both on solid ground, it makes me feel this way
Just one look, just one touch, hold me close, it means so much
When I'm with you, and you're with me
Hold me close, say you'll always be with me
It's just a shot in the dark now baby, a glimpse in your past
A book of empty promises, from a love that didn't last
Let's dig a little deeper now, and see the things he'd done
And now that you are on your way, you know that you have won
Yes you know that you had won
Did he hold you in the night time baby, promise on and on
From the time the sun did shine, you could see that he was gone
You could see that he was gone
So you want some closure now, put it in the past
Close the book of promises, from a love that didn't last
From the love that didn't last
Did he hold you in the night time baby, promise on and on
From the time the sun did shine, you could see that he was gone
Did he hold you in the night time baby, promise on and on
From the time the sun did shine, you could see that he was gone
You could see that he was gone
Did you cry when the lights went down,
Are you lost, have you come around,
Are your days, lost in sorrow
Did you think when he said those things
Did you really think that he could do all that
There's always a tomorrow
It's midnight
Wish I could see you
I can't sleep
I need to see you
And it's gonna be a long night
I'm not sure if I love you, not quite
But if I could see you , right now
I know you'd be safe and sound
The clock ticks
Wish you'd come and stay
I said to myself
I wish you'd come here and don't go away
And it's gonna be a long night
I'm not sure if I love you, not quite
But if I could see you right now
I'd know you'd be safe and sound
Been a tough day, it's been a rough year
It's been a hard life, you feel like someone else
But tomorrow, and the next year
Spend the rest of your life, rediscovering yourself
Don't expect to walk on water, don't expect your blood to turn to wine
Just put your best foot forward, on the way you'll see the sign
How to tow a better line yeah yeah,
But tomorrow, and the next year,
spend the rest of your life, rediscovering yourself
Don't expect to walk on water,
don't expect your blood to turn to wine
Just put your best foot forward,
On the way you'll see the sign
How to tow a better line
How to tow a better line now
Tow a better line
Try to see the sign
Don't expect to walk on water
Don't expect your blood to turn to wine
Just put your best foot forward
On the way you'll see the sign
How to tow a better line
Tow a better line now
Never afraid darlin', to spend my life with you
What we have together now, is felt by oh so few now now
We got it made baby, cuz we work so hard
With commitment baby now and two hungry hearts but nothin',
can tear us apart
You were the answer baby to my life's mystery
and you ended all of my life's misery now now
We got it made baby, cuz we love each other
If I lost you darlin now, I can't love no other
But nothin' can tear us apart
She remembers when he was young, playin' hookey and havin' fun
Never had a lot to say, not to her anyway
One day he looked at her up and down, stood and stared, never spoke a sound
When she turned to walk away, she heard the words she wanted him to say
Sayin'
Here in my heart, we are, never apart Look in my eyes
And you'll see that it doesn't,
come as no surprise
Now all she sees is the years gone by, they go so fast wanna make you cry
Where is that boy anyway, it's been so long since he ran away
Well, she's married to another man, on the trail of a family plan
She's got a kid with his blood in him, look into his eyes you'll hear that boy again
Sayin'
Here in my heart, we are, never apart
Look in my eyes, and you'll see that it doesn't come as no surprise
Here in my heart, we are, never apart
Look in my eyes, and you'll see that it doesn't
come as no surprise
No surprise
no surprise baby
no surprise baby
no surprise baby
As the seasons start to change, I have to rearrange, prioritize
And slowly goes the hour, the bud turns to a flower, reenergized
Isn't that the way, to get us through all the pain,
Through our regrets and all our shame
When I think I'm lost, and fear what I'm thinkin'
You look in my eyes, and you take me by the hand
You open your heart, and show me what you're feeling
And you're helping me to understand ,I have always been your man
And though it seems it's here to stay, it soon will go away, vaporize
And the sun will shine again, the love from your best friend
Will always be there to help you rise
Isn't that the way
To get us through all the pain
Through our regrets and all our shame
When I think I'm lost, and fear what I'm thinkin'
You look in my eyes, and you take me by the hand
You open your heart, and show me what you're feeling
And you're helping me to understand, I have always been your man
Early in the mornin', or late afternoon
I told that long blond haired girl
I'd like to see her soon
She said yes, she said yes, she said yes, she said yes
I thought I'd take her out dancin'
Or take her to a show, but then I thought to myself
What could be better than to rock and roll
She said yes, she said yes, she said yes, she said yes
She isn't very pretty,
tell ya what she's got
She's got a personality
and to me well that's a lot
She said yes, she said yes, she said yes, she said yes
Early in the mornin', or late afternoon
I told that long blond haired girl
I'd like to see her soon
She said yes, she said yes, she said yes, she said yes
