A Farewell Kiss

Trying
Not to sound like I'm lying
When I tell her that I'll be okay
I won't feel alone
Knowing
The place that I'm going
Will be too far away from her
Too many miles from home
And as I board the train
I start to feel the pain

CHORUS
Don't you know that this
Is a farewell kiss
Tenderly and true
It belongs to you
I would give away
All my yesterdays
I don't want to say goodbye

It's free
Your spirit's within me
It travels everywhere I go
Reminders inside
Forever
I'll always endeavour
To keep our love light flickering
The flame we have won't die
And while I'm on the train
Pull down the window pane

CHORUS

Guilty
That you are not with me
I cannot wait to travel home
There's no other place
Praying
With you I'll be staying
I've never liked this solitude
I need your warm embrace
And as you watch the train
The engine takes the strain

CHORUS

A Thousand Ways

I'll be a laptop in your arms, your thoughts I will hold tight,
A canvas for your love, as you type into the night,
Your fingers dance on keys, like a gentle serenade,
In every line you type, our love will never fade.

CHORUS
I'll be anything you need, 
To feel your touch anew.
A thousand ways to love, in everything I do.
I'll transform in your world, in the most unique displays.
Just to feel your love in different ways.

I'll be a sketchbook in your hand, where love is drawn with care,
Every stroke and every shade, tells a story we both share,
The pages of your heart, will be my special place,
The colours blend and flow, our love's a work of grace.

CHORUS

I'll be a guitar in your arms, so strum your melody,
Our love in every chord, will create a harmony,
The notes we play tonight, are the verses of our song,
The music’s in your heart, I know I do belong.

CHORUS

So in the world of endless change, our love's a constant star,
No matter where I am, no matter where you are,
I'll find a way to you, in every single phase,
For in your love, my dear, I found a thousand ways.

All My Love

Nobody likes to say goodbye when you must leave
Nobody likes to see you go
I know that time goes by
But without you, it will not fly
Because you have a hold on me

CHORUS

So if a broken heart to mend
And you know deep inside you need a friend
Just call on me, you know that I will send
Send all my love

If I could ever try to take away the pain
You know I'd do my best for you
Never forget I'm here
To wipe away those bitter tears
And pull you from your misery

CHORUS

Never forget I'm here
To wipe away those bitter tears
And pull you from your misery

CHORUS

Another Love

You don't realise
When he looks into your eyes
Another love in the making-yeah

I won't understand
When you smile and hold his hand
Another love in the making-yeah

CHORUS

But don't leave me here
Don't leave me here to die
Maybe I won't ever understand why
And babe please don't go
Don't ever go away
I'll come back to find you another day

You were standing near
When he whispered in your ear
Another love in the making-yeah

You are my best friends
I could not cause it to end
Another love in the making-yeah

CHORUS

At the End of the Day

Please don't leave me anymore
I don't think I could live
I couldn't face the situation
Of a love that I cannot give

CHORUS
I don't know how
But what do I care
As long as at the end of the day
You will be there

The sun won't shine anymore
Now that you're gone
And now I'm down on my knees
Praying you won't be long

CHORUS

Instrumental

Because you're so beautiful
I don't know what to say
You halt the wind in its tracks
And keep the rain at bay

Band of Gold

I saw you
And I knew
That I just had to meet you
I’d hold you
I’d kiss you
And lead you to the dance floor
Place in your hand

CHORUS

A band of gold
        (A solid ring that guarantees my soul)
My hand to hold
        (A promise that my love for you is whole)
My love is free
        (I want to spend my every breathe with you)
Eternally
        (This ring will symbolise our love is true)

Reflection
Affection
To know you’ll always be there
My hero
So I know
Just when he’ll rescue me then
I’d love to wear

CHORUS

BRIDGE
This is one of many days together
Can you feel it too?
Can this romance really last forever
Make my dreams come true?

CHORUS

I need to
Ask of you
‘Cause I don’t want to hurt you
Are you ready?
For the journey
A chapter starts today as
I give to you

CHORUS x 2

Borderline

A lady, a country
Keeping you in
Makes traveling a sin
A border like poison to me

My arms want to hold you
I write every day
There must be a way
To keep you right here by my side

CHORUS
Don't you know that
I want you to be mine
I'll have to take you
Through the borderline
Through the borderline

They try to prevent me
This love is too strong
To be held for long
It's all or it's nothing for me

Just one mile, we'll be there
Freedom at last
Goodbye to the past
Announcing our love to the world

CHORUS

Dancing in the Moonlight

As we run away
Through the darkness of the night
We can see ahead the moon
So hold on tight
Climbing up I notice everything is clear
Because next to me my dream is standing here

CHORUS
Dancing in the moonlight
Knowing that they'll never find us
Dancing in the moonlight
Leaving all our worries behind us

We can hear them now
The hunt is on its way
But we must escape to see
Another day
As the night draws on, I'm not here for the ride
If you're feeling down I'm always by your side

CHORUS

Instrumental

Smiling as we race
We know that we are winning
Happy in our mind and soul
Our hearts are singing
And we know deep down that we are running free
All because a bond of love with you and me

Déja Vu​

I can't believe it
You're prettier than I remember
It came as a surprise
Just by looking I could tell
What had happened
I could see it in your eyes

CHORUS

Déja vu
I thought that I had been here before
But it's not true
Déja vu
Déjà vu
I know that I have said
That when with you
I'm not blue

I heard your story
How could someone treat you bad?
'Cause that you don't deserve
I will help to mend your soul
Give me time
And your heart I will preserve

CHORUS

INTERLUDE

What a story
Why do people tell the world
Of friendships starting new?
If I had to make a choice
I wouldn't change it
I would still have chosen you

CHORUS

Digital Love

I log in to see you
I know that you’re there
I wait for that moment
My password is there

The data is streaming
The distance it roams
To pull in my being
My digital home

CHORUS
It’s a digital love
It’s a digital romance
We can digital hug
We can digital dance
All the while that we’re there
In the world that we’ve been in
Seems to reach for the stars
And now we are living


My eyes gaze on you
The pixels they form
Your digital body
Delightful and warm

You reach out to kiss me
Our bodies unite
The data is spinning
Around us tonight

Don't Change Your Mind

Standing in the rain
Fall in love again
And I know
That you love me
And I know
That you care - so

CHORUS

Never ever change a single thing
I'm needing all the loving you can bring
Only you could cause my heart to sing
Please don't change your mind
Never ever change the way you are
Because this love we share will take us far
I need your love to be a guiding star
Please don't change your mind

Looking at your face
My heart is out of place
And I know
That you mean it
And I know
That you say - hey

Dystopian Future

We were travelling
Along to the future
Hoping for justice
And hoping for peace
But we collided 
We ran into something
Machines were just crashing
And started to cease

CHORUS
So here we are
Dystopian Future
The world is now crumbling
With nowhere to hide
Here we are
Dystopian Future
Enslaved to the process
We have to abide

All our movements
Are chained to the leader
Our eyes are all blinkered
Control what we see
There’s no leeway
We’re caught in the fashion
Control every movement
And nowhere to flee

CHORUS

So it’s time to
Break from the average
And make a small difference
Our pathways can change
Each decision
We make in our journey
Our positive choices
We can rearrange


END CHORUS
So push away 
Dystopian Futures
The world we can rebuild
No need to be strange
We don’t need
Dystopian Futures
Let’s all live a free life
Our future can change

Eternally

Watching you as time must take its toll
Many people joke 'You're getting old'
Knowing you from young has promised me
That it is the inner you I see

CHORUS
I'll never lie to you
I'd rather die that is true
But if you try hard you'll see
There is no other
You are my lover
Eternally

I wonder if you really know me well
'Cause just one look at you and I can tell
If you are feeling lonely deep within
I'll share with you the love that makes me sing

CHORUS

Instrumental

Going through these years of married life
I've never had regrets that you're my wife
I know the years to come will soon be gone
I smile because with you I can't go wrong

Feelings

Sitting on the sand
The tide is drawing in
And I see nobody walking home alone
To get a message to your heart that's far away
Make it easier by coming this way home

CHORUS
And deep down inside
You know I'll never hide
The feelings that I have for you
So swallow down some pride
And stay here by my side
For feelings that I have for you

Looking at the empty trains
As they draw in
My heart sinks away while wishing you here
Walking back the ocean way
I have to smile as I see you standing, waiting on the pier

CHORUS

That I have for you
That I have for you

Girl in White

Girl, why did you leave
Why did you go
When we were just beginning to grow
Falling in love
Taking it slow
Girl, look at us now
This isn't fair
Half a chance and I'd be flying there
Into your arms
Answer my prayer

CHORUS
There's a girl in white
Walking down the aisle
I see her fresh young face
Every time you smile
I wouldn't change a thing
But to make it clear
I love you more each day
After all these years

Girl, we were so close
Close to romance
It started when you held me as we danced
Light in your eyes
Love in your glance
Girl, deep in my heart
You'll always be
Forever in my life eternally
No matter how far
It's just you and me

CHORUS

INTRUMENTAL BREAK

Girl, how did you know
When did you see?
Everything that we could ever be
Sharing this love
Setting it free
Girl, now by my side
This is the start
Love you 'til the day death do us part
Making our vows
Straight from the heart

CHORUS (x2)

Going Home

I'm sitting in the corner
Of the café on the hill
I can see the bright red roses
Growing by the water mill
I didn't have the chance 
To see you off or say goodbye
And now I must be going
But I'll give it one more try

CHORUS
'Cause I'm goin' home
I'll be leaving without you
I wish you were gonna stick around
I don't wanna settle down on my own

I've got my red guitar
But it can only play the blues
You see it's kinda lonely
When you're waiting on bad news
I wish that you were packing now
And clearing what you owed
And then we'd have a clean break
When it's time to hit the road

CHORUS

Well I've waded through deep water
And I've walked the dusty road
I've even climbed a mountain
Just to get to my abode
But if you won't be leaving
Then I guess I'll have to stay
I don't like climbing mountains
With a wet coat anyway

'Cause I've found my home
I'll be staying beside you
I am glad you chose to hang around
I don't wanna settle down on my own

Goldrush

The shout went out, 'The River Klondike has born
Some gold for us, we leave at the crack of dawn'

We pack at once and think of the gold we'll find
We hope and pray that fortune to us is kind

CHORUS 1
The grass is greener the other side
The sky is clearer the other side
The fire is warmer the other side
My chance is here

We pan and hope that we are the lucky men
To strike it rich and pay off our debts again

We're sleeping rough and eating enough to cope
But mud and stone won't make us the men we hope

CHORUS 2
The grass is greener in my hometown
The sky is clearer in my hometown
The fire is warmer in my hometown
My old hometown

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

They say that thirty thousand have passed through here
They feel inside their chance is now getting near

For me I fear, it's not down to gold alone
I realise, my fortune is back at home

CHORUS 2

Gretna Green

I can see the love light
In you eyes, it is
Like a candle deep within
Look at me and I'll
Show to you that I
Feel this same love makes me sing

CHORUS
Let us go away to Gretna Green
Loving you like you're my queen
I will serve you like I am your knight
I'd travel anywhere to be with you

As we're travelling there
We don't offend, not anywhere
The past few days have been the best
Passing villages en route
I cannot wait to change my suit
And you're still in your wedding dress

CHORUS

We said time would really fly
I haven't figured out why
Our wedding day is in the past
But we know that we are sure
This loving bond is oh so pure
Eternally this love will last

CHORUS

Heart of Glass

A simple story to be told
About a love that would unfold
We never thought that it would be
That I’d love you, and you’d love me

A different class we both came from
A different lifestyle, was it wrong?
And yet a single thread ran through
You loved me and I love you

CHORUS
Just as when you thought it wouldn’t last
That was when you found my heart of glass
Did you know I saved it up for you
Because I knew you’d see right through
And with the gentle care for what you hold
I know that our love will never fold
Just as if a jewel that you could keep
You will stop my heart from going weak

We never thought that we’d see past
Another day like it was last
And yet the years would tumble by
We haven’t figured out the why

But deep inside we both do know
That our true love will always grow
And every part adds to the sum
That our hearts will clear become

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I knew that I would not be lonely
And I knew this right from the start
No matter how we take this journey
You’ll always see into my heart

So may the world not break apart
The love we felt right from the start
Remember if you’re feeling blue
That you love me and I love you

Whatever life will throw our way
We’ll live to fight another day
The future bright will always be
If I love you and you love me

How Do I Breathe

How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When I sit here so long
How do I say
When you’re away
That with you I belong
And this air, I can’t breathe
‘Cause alone, I can not live
How do I breathe?
How can I breathe?
When I need you inside my soul

How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When I walk out the door?
What do I say
When I’m away
That you’ve not heard before?
In my mind, you are here
I still shed a lonesome tear
How do I breathe?
How dare I breathe?
When I need you inside my soul

Instrumental

Bridge
In my mind I just know, what we need
Having you in my heart
I can believe, that I can breathe

How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When I sit here so long
How do I say
When you’re away
That with you I belong
In my mind, you are here
I still shed a lonesome tear
How Do I breathe?
How dare I breathe?
When I need you inside my soul

I am in Love

​In my heart of hearts
I feel for you
And I hope you feel
The same way too
I can feel your love
Burn deep inside
Keeps me warm when you're
Not by my side
 
I'd do anything
You want me to
It is proof how much
I'm loving you
I would travel far
Away from here
But I know for now
You need me near
I am in love
 
CHORUS
With this world in such a mess
Only you bring happiness
I feel safe within your arms
While we know this love is true
It helps to share the things we do
Deep within we feel so calm
 
If I feel unwell
I know you'll be
Strong of heart
And there to comfort me
I will have you there
To trust each day
'Cause I recognise
This love displayed
 
Until now I have
Just lived alone
And I know that
You are on your own
But together we'd
Live happily
So I'm asking you
To marry me
We are in love
 
CHORUS

We are in Love

I Love You

I look to your face
Expression breaks out
To know how you feel
Won't cause any doubt
But reading your heart
Is harder to do
But all that I've found
I want to tell you
That I love you

I look to your eyes
As blue as the sea
Incredibly deep
They fascinate me
A twinkle in each
Both perfectly round
The deeper you look
More treasure is found
And I love you

INSTRUMENTAL

The clock on the wall
Advances in time
I would go to sleep
Can't leave you behind
I still hear you voice
So gentle and kind
I must tell you this
The words on my mind
That I love you

I do

I Love You Twice Sunday

Every day I get this lovin’ feeling
Every day my heart leaps from the ground
‘Cause no matter what becomes of Tuesday
It’s the weekend that you come around

CHORUS
Even if my week is full of trouble
You must know I love you every day
But the weekend holds that special feeling
That’s because I love you twice, Sunday


When I wake up early on a Monday
And my boss is waiting at the door
I just know that come that magic weekend
You’ll be there to lift me off the floor

CHORUS

How I love that super Friday feeling
How I love to rush back home that’s true
That’s because the weekend is beginning
Now it’s time to show my love to you

CHORUS

That’s because I love you twice, Sunday
That’s because I love you twice, Sunday

I Need You Now

I need you now
More than I’ve ever needed anyone before
Now that my heart is lying broken on the floor
I’m under a cloud
And I need you now

Across the miles
I need arms to reach out and hold me tight
I need hands to hold my own all through the night
I’m down on the ground
And I need you now

CHORUS
I need you now
Like the river needs the sea
I need you now
Baby you’re a part of me
I can’t live without

You are my light
You are everything I need to let me breathe
I need to hear you promise you will never leave
I’m praying out loud
That I need you now

CHORUS

Instrumental Break

I need you now
More than I’ve ever needed anyone before
Now that my heart is lying broken on the floor
I’m under a cloud
And I need you now

I'm Over You

You know it’s not working
The time is near
You say I won’t make it
Without you here
Well I’ve been thinking
And this is clear
My heart will still beat like a drum
Without you dear

I’m not keeping count ‘cause
It’s not a game
It all seems so useless
To point and blame
There’s just burning embers
From the flame
Was this love we had worth more
Than just a name

Chorus
See the door
See the frame
See the sign above with your name
Walk through
I’m over you
Seen the wood
For the trees
You won’t find me down on my knees
It’s true
I’m over you

I’m not getting frightened
I’ll be just fine
It’s no longer fragile
So walk the line
Too many are asking
Will you be mine
But they don’t know our love won’t stand
The test of time

CHORUS

Bridge

Don’t try to tell me that it just takes time
I’m not a fool I can read the warning sign

In Love With You

My knees were dirty
My shirt was not tucked in
My hair was messy
And I had a grubby chin
I needed polish, on my broken shoe
I knew I, was in love with you

Your hair was tidy
Your ribbon set in straight
Your shoes were shiny
A mark is what you hate
Your skirt was pleated, in velvet blue
I knew I, was in love with you

Instrumental Break 

As time was moving
You didn't look my way
I couldn’t think of
The words that I should say
I hadn't realised, love takes time to brew
I knew I, was in love with you

For over twelve years
My love inside was sure
I had to tell you
My feelings were at war
'Cause now you've said it, inside I always knew
You told me, that you love me too

Innocent Days

I was never that young
Time moves too fast
Days in the sun
Fade to the past
Pictures of you
In black and white
Funny how things
Change overnight

CHORUS

Thinking of yesteryear
We were young, we were strong
Innocent days
Where have they gone?

I remember the days
Anything went
Time was our own
Money was spent
Pictures of you
Wearing those shades
Making me smile
We made the grades

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL (Verse)

CHORUS

Were we ever that young?
We had no ties
One day I saw
Light in your eyes
Pictures of you
Holding our son
I can't believe
We were that young

Look Before You Leap

They said that no one could do it
No one could care
But I didn't listen
I let down my hair
An' I stole all their thunder
Took it away
Saving it up
For a rainy day

I gave her a reason
Gave her some time
All I could think of
Was when she'd be mine
I gave her my money
And she stole my heart
She gave me trouble
And that was the start

CHORUS
I never knew that
Love was meant like this
It started when we
Shared that fatal kiss
A promise you can't keep
So look before you leap

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

I drove out of Georgia
Out of the state
I wanted to find you
Before it's too late
You heard I was leavin'
Tracking you down
You up and left
You could not hang around

I travelled so far
I travelled so wide
Touring the world
Just to be by your side
And once I had found you
Wouldn't let you go
Give it a chance
For this feeling to grow

Love All of Me

I used to think that finding love was easy
Find it here and find it there
Make some friends and surely they’ll love you?

But then as time went on and darkness followed
Doom and Gloom in it you wallowed
I’d look around to find they were not true

CHORUS
So if you love me, love all of me
Not just the best of me
Take my love entirely all the time
Turn my darkness into the light
Show me, our love is right
Prove to me, I’m yours and you are mine


Some people say that love is complicated
Challenging, not worth the time
I believe love finds you in the end

Of all the roads that everybody follows
Surely there’s a path like mine
Join with me my lovers and my friends

CHORUS

BRIDGE
They say that love is all forgiving
Love is gentle, love is kind
So prove to me that love is on your mind


Whatever darkness that you might carry
I will help you straight and true
With me no need to run no need to hide

You see, it’s plain to see that I am willing
To share my love, yes all the time
So come with me and travel by my side

CHORUS

Love or Friendship

Female
The way you care for me
It’s like a guarantee
That we’ll be friends
Forever, this I can see

You’re such a gentle guy
And as time passes by
The trust we have
Deep down I feel will not die

CHORUS
Is this love or is this friendship?
We both hope that it will not end

Male
I love the things you wear
The way you fix your hair
I’m captivated even
When you stand there

I don’t care what you say
It sounds good anyway
I’m falling for you
At the end of the day

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Female & (Male)

(I think I love you)
This friendship’s got too strong
(I hope that you do)
Inside this trust we have where do I belong?

Male & (Female)
The future’s clear to see
(Don’t want to lose this)
I hope that you’ll agree
(You know we can’t kiss)
So here’s my question “Will you marry me?”

End Chorus
Is this love or is this friendship?
We both hope that it will not end
You know that I will always love you
And I will always be your friend

Love Will Find You

I know that look
I used to have it
Blocking pain out
Becomes a habit
Out on your own
You feel so alone

Take it from me
It does not work out
Hearts without love
Get filled with self-doubt
Nothing you say
Will take it away

BRIDGE
You’re not the only one
To feel so overcome

CHORUS
I know that love will find you
Hold on
It never can destroy you
Be strong
It’s much too big a thing to
Hide from
I know that love will find you
Hold on
Hold on

Just look around
With eyes wide open
Give it a chance
And don’t stop hoping
Outside this room
They’re waiting for you

See in yourself
What others might see
Never give up
Just wait patiently
Don’t be afraid
The flame will not fade

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Love isn’t blind
It sees quite clearly
If you need proof
Then look love found me
Don’t try and hide
When two hearts collide

BRIDGE

Nowhere to Go

From the moment that I knew that you were mine
I could feel the love just growing all the time
And if trouble hit, around you I would curl
I would be your hero, save you from the world

CHORUS
We never think
When it’s so strong
All of this love
Where does it belong? 
We get caught up
Everyone knows
Grief is just love
With nowhere to go

When my parents gave me such a special soul
And instilled in me that love should be my goal
They would teach me love your enemies and friends
Never once would I expect it all to end

CHORUS

Time is cruel to all, it never waits for you
So make sure you get to do what you must do
Give your love out fast to everyone you know
Or they’ll come a time, it has nowhere to go

One Touch of Your Finger

From the day that we met
And the nights we never slept
From the rivers I had to cross
To save you when you felt lost

CHORUS
Just one touch of your finger
And I’m never letting go
Just one piece of your heartbreak
And I’ll always mend you soul

When we faced many problems
I always stayed right next to you
Because our love will be forever
And this love is feeling true

CHORUS

Then one day you just left me
And now you’re not by my side
Heavens doors will not defeat me
I will burst them open wide for….

Sea Breeze

Hoist the sail
Cast the rope to set us free
Check the map
Making sure the charts agree
Follow tides
In toward the ocean grand
Leave behind
People sunning on the sand

CHORUS
We are floating on the sea
Gently through the breeze
Sailing on
With the wind in the sail
Prepared for gust or gale
The hull is cutting through the waves
The currents that it braves
Whisper on
'Follow me, mysteries
Will be for you to see'

See the surf
As the water strikes the shore
Watch the fish
Swimming to the ocean floor
Glistening
A crest reflects the midday sun
Knowing that
This boating trip has just begun

CHORUS

Surrender to the Night

Shadows fall, her eyes are flames,
A whisper soft, she calls my name,
Chains that bind, I feel no fear,
In her touch, I disappear.

I lose myself beneath her gaze,
Drifting deeper in this haze,
She drains me out that is her goal
In her hands, it makes me whole.

Chorus
Her toxic bite is my release,
And in the dark, I do find peace,
Bound by desire, no need to fight,
I will surrender to the night.

Instrumental Break (Each Chorus)

Cold lips tracing down my skin
She pulls me in, I drown again
This deadly dance, I'm bound to stay
Yet longing for another day.

She takes it all, I’m on the edge,
Her grip so tight, but not my end,
I fall, then rise, her spell remains,
To start again in endless chains.

Chorus

I catch my breath, but still, I crave,
The cold return, her dark embrace,
In my escape, I can’t break free,
She calls again, and I concede.

Her whisper haunts, it never fades,
In every shadow, she invades,
A slave to fate, I can't deny,
I’m hers again, so close my eyes.

Chorus

The Moon and Back

I’ll find many ways to say I love you if I can
I’ll write notes and leave hearts just for you 
No matter what method that I show my promises
I know there’s one thing for me to do

CHORUS
I love you to the moon and back, 
A love that's pure and true,
I wish that I could move the moon, 
To be closer to you.
You always save my sanity
And help me through the day
I love you to the moon and back
Even though it’s so far away

I’ll cook up some food that we can share beneath the stars
A glass of your favourite Chardonay
We’ll gaze at the heavens and we’ll name the stars we see
We’re dancing around the Milky Way

CHORUS

I know that the love we feel will never be replaced
I feel that our love’s unique and pure
So hold on to me so we can share a future too
Your heart in my hands will be secure

The Sum of Me

Each path I’ve walked, every turn I’ve made
The tears I’ve cried, the price I’ve paid
They’re all a story that I tell
A life of lessons where I fell
 
Chorus
I’m the sum of all my choices,
The echoes that you hear are voices
A melody of trials it seems
Each mistake that I have acted
And the errors I retracted
It all defines the sum of me
 
Some roads I walked weren’t mine to choose
Bound up by rules you can’t refuse
But even there, I found my way
A spark within that won’t decay
 
 
Chorus
 
Bridge
So here’s to roads that twist and turn
To lessons lived, the bridge I’ve burned
When reins were taken out my hands
I found my strength and took a stand
 
The love I’ve lost, the love I’ve found
Each quiet night, each crashing sound
For each mistake along the way
They built the heart that beats today
 
Chorus

Travel Through Time

Through planets and constellations
Lost cities and new born nations
History and future passing by
A culture of selfish people
Who meet under roof and steeple
Centuries of questions asking 'why?'

CHORUS

I'll travel through time
Together with you
A feeling sublime
A feeling so new

Through deserts and deepest oceans
Time in perpetual motion
Birth of a thousand days go by
We've seen war and depredation
A striving for re-creation
The beauty of earth will never die

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Though hailed as a future story
It feels like a laboratory
The quest for an answer never found
But shine as we will together
Our future will be forever
Together in time we’re safe and sound

We Danced

We met by the old ice cream van
You offered to buy me a can
We drank fizzy pop
Where the bubbles don’t stop
Then we danced, Then we danced, Then we danced

We drew on the pavement with chalk
Avoided the cracks as we walked
We sang our own song
As we skipped our way home
Then we danced, Then we danced, Then we danced

You told me a secret to keep
It took my whole strength not to weep
‘Cause deep down inside
My love has to hide
As we dance, As we dance, As we dance

There’s nothing I could say or do
To ever bring heartbreak on you
Protect you I will 
However you feel
As we dance, As we dance, As we dance

But one day you found out from me
My true heart had feelings for thee
You smiled and we ran
To that old ice cream van
Then we danced, Then we danced, Then we danced

What If She Was The One?

​Walking down the crowded streets,
Faces pass, but none will speak.
A fleeting glance, a spark of light,
Was she meant for me tonight?
 
Chorus
What if the one I’m meant to find
Is a stranger I just left behind?
Each connection left unseen,
A doorway to where love has been.
What if the moment slips away,
A chance at love I can’t replay?
Do I dare to chase the dream,
Or let it fade like all I’ve seen?
A million lives, a twist of fate,
Could one hello unlock the gate?

She’s on a train, I catch her eyes,
A moment gone, a thousand lies.
Do I risk it all, or let her go?
An answer that I'll never know.
 
Chorus
 
Every stranger holds a key,
To the life I’m meant to see.
One word, one smile, one heartbeat shared,
Could take me somewhere unprepared.
 
Chorus

When My Heart Aches

I walk the line, I toe the mark,
My mind draws maps inside the dark.
It whispers rules in quiet tones,
"Stay on course, stay alone."
But every sunset pulls me wide,
The colours break what I confide.
And though my brain says, "Just be wise,"
My heart ignites behind my eyes.

Chorus
My mind builds walls to keep me safe,
My heart keeps finding open gates.
I try to follow sense and sound,
But joy keeps dragging me around.
The more I try, the more I bend,
And logic breaks before the end.
Discipline will draw the stakes,
But when my heart aches, my mind breaks.

They told me all my life to think,
To never let emotion sink.
"Be sharp, be smart, keep feelings tame,
Don’t let desire fan the flame."
But there's a fire I can't restrain,
It sings of love, it dances pain.
My heart’s grown tired of being still
It wants to run, it wants to feel.

Chorus

Instrumental

So here I stand, no clear escape,
Between the rules and what feels great.
My heart beats wild beneath my skin,
It won’t go back to where it’s been.
I’ve followed logic all these years,
Choked back the dreams, ignored the tears.
But now the silence starts to scream--
It’s time to live, it’s time to dream.

Chorus
