Take me home with you

Take me home with you
Don’t want to be alone
I’m all alone tonight
Please take me home

I can’t say it out loud
Can’t you see it in my eyes
Be good to me tonight
Tell me the old old lies

I need someone tonight
Can’t walk the streets alone
Tonight I need a friend
But there’s no one at home

I can’t say don’t go
Don’t leave me in the cold
Don’t wont to wake alone
Alone and growing old

Hear what my eyes say
Take me back tonight
The smile is growing weak
Take me back tonight

The kindness of strangers

The kindness of strangers
The feel of a man
If you could just be me
Then you’d understand

Today all around me
Fears come and go
I’m told I should chill out
But nobody knows
The kindness of strangers
The feel of a man
If you could just be me
Then you’d understand

Tonight they will come back
Creep under my door
One day I can dream
They wont come no more
The kindness of strangers
The feel of a man
If you could just be me
Then you’d understand

One day I will be free
And forget the years
When the kindness of strangers
Would hold back the tears
The kindness of strangers
The feel of a man
If you could just be me
Then you’d understand

Let me down easy

Let me down easy
Let me down slow
I know that it’s over
But I don’t want to go
Let me down easy
Let me down slow
Your all that I need
And I love you so

Let me down gently
Let me down slow
I know that your leaving
But please don’t go
Let me down gently
Let me down slow
You’re the love that I need
You’re the love that I know

Let me down softly
Let me down kind
With you I know that
My eyes have been blind
Let me down slowly
I know you will go
I know you don’t love me
But I love you so

Tomorrow

Tomorrow
I will be free
You can
Look for me
I won’t
Be here again
I’ve had
Enough men

Tomorrow
You’ll find me gone
You cant
Do me no wrong
I’ll be
A thousand miles away

Hold on
To your stupid dream
I’m not
What I seem
I don’t
Love you no more
So I’m out
Through the door

You can’t stand in my way
Cause tomorrow
I’m going away

Milk and Honey

Chorus
I don’t wanna
Live my life
Just another
Lonely wife
Wanna be
Where life is sunny
Want my share
Of milk and honey

It ain’t bad
Could do worse
It ain’t like
You’re the first
Gotta go
Where life is sweet
Gonna vote
With my feet

Can’t take another
Winter season
If they ask
That’s the reason
Couldn’t take
No more grey
I just had
To get away

Say so long
To my friends
This is where
Friendship ends
Gotta go
Earn some money
In the land
Of milk and honey

I am the morn

I am the morn
You are the sun
We are the stars
It’s just begun

You are the corn
I am the field
We are the earth

It is the yield
I am the leaf
You are the tree
We are the forest
It’s all for free

You are the cloud
I am the sky
We see the world
It passes by

I am the fish
You are the sea
We are the ocean
It all agrees

You are the day
I am the night
We are the cycle
It knows what’s right

Put your hand in my hand

Put your hand in my hand
Hold it out to me
One thing I can tell you
Is you gotta break free

Put your trust in my heart
It won’t lead you astray
One thing I can tell you is
I won’t go away

Put your dreams in my arms
I’m not what I seem
One thing I can tell you is
That you are my dream

Put your love in my love
I won’t break your heart
One thing I can tell you is
We’ll never part

Put your love in my love
I won’t break your heart
One thing I can tell you is
We’ll never part

Feel me

Feel me
Feel me stiffen
Heal me
See me listen
Feel me
Feel me tonight

Make me
Make me alright
Just you
Nobody but you

See me
See me watch you
See me
See me love you
See me
See me need you
See me
I adore you
Just you
Nobody but you

Feel me
Feel me trying
Hear me
Hear me crying
Feel me
Feel me dying
Hear me
Hear me lying
For you
Nobody but you

I didn’t

I didn’t want to do it
I didn’t want to know
I didn’t want to listen
I didn’t want to go
I didn’t want to be here
I didn’t want to see
I didn’t want to love you
But I know that you love me

I didn’t want to know you
I didn’t want you near
I didn’t want to love you
I didn’t want the tears
I didn’t want the sleepless nights
I didn’t want the pain
I didn’t want the endless fights
I didn’t want it again

I didn’t want what I got
I didn’t want to hear
I didn’t want you by my side
I didn’t want you near
But now I want you every day
And every day I cry
You didn’t want me after all
Now I feel like I could die

All the things I try for you

All the things I try for you
All the times I cry for you
I don’t know what I should do
So I turn my face to the wall

You know that I’ll die for you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Every day there’s something new
And yet you didn’t care at all

Stay beside me through the night
Stay with me until daylight
Help me to keep up the fight
I only live through you

But once again you go away
You can go but I must stay
In empty thrall another day
I live a life without you

Where did all the good girls go

Where did all the good girls go
Who played the waiting game
You wouldn’t think that they would know
That their loves all end the same

Where did all the good guys go
I searched for one for years
And all I found and all I know
Are washed away by tears

Where did all the good love go
I saw it pass me by
I always thought that I would know
Thought I’d never cry

Where did all the good life go
It died when you left me
Why was I the last to know
Why could I never see

I live in my dreams

How often have we walked alone
Through the cool evening air
How often have you told me
Life is never fair
How often did I love you
It’s hard for me to say
But I see the love we had
Has slowly slipped away

Chorus
I’ll never be your wife
You don’t hear my silent scream
You live in your life
But I live in my dreams

And now your with someone else
And I’m left on my own
Did you ever think of me
Did you ever think of home
How much did I love you
To tell would make me cry
How much did I love you
I think that I could die

Chorus
I’ll never be your wife
You don’t hear my silent scream
You live in your life
But I live in my dreams

All the way

Chorus
All the way
All the way
Be with me
All the way
Be with me
Through night and day
All the way
All the way

I never thought you’d come along
I always thought things would go wrong
And now I see a better day
And I’m with you, all the way

I never thought I’d spend the night
Never thought we’d get it right
Now I awake to a brand new day
And I’m with you, all the way

I was so young I didn’t know
I didn’t know which way to go
And now you take my breath away
And I’m with you, all the way

How will I tell all my friends
This is how my childhood ends
And this is how I’m gonna stay
And I’m with you, all the way

 

Fill me up

Fill me with your love
To overflowing
I need your love
I feel it growing
Fill me up
Both night and day
Stay with me
Don’t go away

Fill me up
With your sweet soul
Fill me up
Give me it all
Fill me up
You’ve got the seed
Look at me
I’ve got the need

Fill me up
Fill my mouth
Fill me up
Both north and south
Fill me up
I’ll get down
Fill me up
Don’t hang around

Fill me up
Don’t spill a drop
Fill me up
With what you’ve got
Fill me up
To the top
Fill me up
Don’t ever stop
Fill me up

You don’t love me

You don’t love me
I don’t care
Whoever said
Life wasn’t fair
You don’t love me
So just go
There’s just one thing
You ought to know

Chorus
You don’t love me
I don’t love you
Once I did but
Those days are through

You don’t love me
You just told me
Said you wanted
To be free
You don’t love me
I once loved you
Now those days
Are done and through

You don’t love me
You didn’t try
Left me here
To sit and cry
You didn’t love me
But I love you
Can’t get used
To losing you

Hold me tight and don’t let go

I wake up at 5.00 a.m.
Cold and I’m afraid
All I know is losing
And debts must all be paid
But I touch your sleeping hand
And the dawn comes up slow
All I need is you now
Hold on tight and don’t let go

How often do I wake up
With my pillow wet with tears
But I hear you breathing
And I lose my fears
As I slip my arms around
And the light begins to grow
I remember how I need you
Hold me tight and don’t let go

Down through all my dark days
You stayed right by my side
And when the darkness threatened
You gave me a place to hide
Still I’ve got to tell you
There’s something you must know
I’m nothing without you
Hold me tight and don’t let go

It should’ve been me

It should’ve been me
There beside you
It should’ve been me
By your side
It should’ve been me
There to hold you
Along for the ride
It should’ve been me
There forever
It should’ve been me
Stood by you
It should’ve been me
Leave you never
Always good to you

It should’ve been me
At the altar
It should’ve been me
Marrying you
It should’ve been me
Never falter
Always good to you
It should’ve been me
In the morning
It should’ve been me
Through the night
It should’ve been me
When you faltered
There to make it right

It should’ve been me
And you know it
It should’ve been me
Never her
It should’ve been me
But you’ve blown it
Life is rarely fair
It should’ve been me
And you forever
It should’ve been me
In your heart
It should’ve been me
But we’re going
To spend our lives apart

Me and my heart

Me and my aims
You and your dreams
Me and my pains
You and your scenes
We never saw
What kept us apart
You and your show
Me and my heart

Me and my plans
You and your schemes
Me and my stands
You and your dreams
And so it ends
Just like it starts
You and your friends
Me and my heart

Me and my days
You and your years
Me and my ways
You and your tears
Love slipped away
Right from the start
You wouldn’t stay
With me and my heart

Brothers and sisters

He’s my brother
She’s my brother
We’re all brothers now
Come with us
Be our brother
We’re all brothers now

He’s my sister
She’s my sister
We’re all sisters
Come with us
Be our sister
Be our sister now

We’re all brothers
We’re all sisters
We’re all related now
Come with us
Be our family
We can show you how

Last night I dreamt of you again

Last night I dreamt of you again
You stood beside my bed
Today I can’t escape you
You live on in my head
How can I forget you
I’ll love you till I die
How can I forget you
When all I do is cry

Last night I dreamt of you again
You haunt all my dreams
Today I can’t escape you
I don’t know what it means
How can I forget you
Your love has cut me deep
How can I forget you
When you fill my every sleep

Last night I dreamt of you again
You come to me at night
Today I can’t escape you
In the cold dawn light
How can I forget you
You know how I have cried
How could I forget you
I can’t believe love’s died

Gender Bender

Gender bender
Have your fun
Gender bender
Time to run
Gender bender
You won’t bend me
Gender bender
So lonely

Always dressed
Fit to kill
Always time
To take the thrill
Always look
Behind the door
Always want
To take some more

You’re the one
With starry eyes
You’re the one
Who tells the lies
You’re the one
Who pays the bill
You’re the one
Who takes the thrill

Now you’ve gone
Days are grey
Now you’ve gone
You’ve gone away
Now you’ve gone
What do I do
Now you’ve gone
And I loved you

Let it bleed

How you hurt me
You’ll never know
I was the one
Who would not go
It was always me
In your hour of need
But now I’ve gone
So let it bleed

You thought that I
Would always be there
By your side
No matter where
But I’m the one
Whose soul was freed
And now I’m gone
Just let it bleed

So hold on to
Your dreams that died
It was not me
That laughed and lied
You are the one
With the crying need
So learn the truth
And let it bleed

 

Stay the night with me

I know it’s dark
The night is stormy
It’s a long way
To your home
But it’s warm
Here by the fire
And I don’t
Wanna be alone

Chorus
Stay the night
Stay the night
Stay the night with me

Here in my arms
By the fireside
Warm and sleepy
Here we lie
Don’t go now
Stay beside me
And listen to
My lullaby

I know your folks
Disapprove of me
I know your heart
Is torn in two
But stay with me
Watch the sun rise
I know my life
Will be with you

The dancer in my heart

Some day, when I’m all alone
and the night is dark and deep
I think of you and our home
Before I go to sleep
The happy days of you and me
And how the love came to start
Then I know that I feel
The dancer in my heart

Can you recall when love was new
And wonder filled each hour
And every branch of every tree
Shone like a new formed flower
How each day and every night
Was filled from end to start
And all thoughts were filled with light
From the dancer in our hearts

Too many times

Too many times
I’ve played around
Too many times
I’m beat
Too many times
I’ve lost my way
Too many times
I cheat
Too many times
To know how
Too many times
I’ve cried

Too many times
I’ve looked for you
Searched through the night
Too many times
I’m left alone
In dawns cold sad light
Too many times
You and me
Have just failed to show
Too many times
Too many times
For me to let you go
