Comin' Home

It’s been so long
Since I turned my head around
And the air was flled
With something that I know
Just the echo
Of an old familiar sound
And I can hear you
But you seem so far to go
Comin through the hours
Easy as a new days dawn
Leavin’s just a lie
I am only comin’ home
Fallen angels
Dancin’ on the wheel
Tales of love and loss
Along the way
Distanced by the lies
They can’t reveal
Closer than the words
They’ll never say
This is what they learn
Walkin’ through this world alone
Helpless as a child
They are only comin’ home
Helpless as a child
We are only comin’ home
Leaving’s just a lie
We are only comin’ home
Leavin’s just a lie
I am only comin’ home

The River Still Flows

Another night
And you’re on your own
And you feel so low
She was the one
Who made your house a home
But it seems so long ago
The sun is gone now
It feels so cold
And summer’s just a memory
You’re reachin’ out
But no-one’s there to hold
Your broken melody
But a new day calls
And your broken heart can mend
Time will bring
The open arms
That’ll hold you close again
And through it all
You’ll learn to live once more
Cos love still grows
And the river still flows
And it runs right to your door
When time is loaded
With the question why
And there’s nothin’ you can do
Cos heaven’s fallen
And you wanna die
But somethin’ pulls you through
Cos the dream don’t lie
At the rainbow’s end
That’s just too far away
It’s runnin free
Like the wind my friend
Rememberin’ yesterday

House of Dreams

Leave me lonely tonight
Lock me away
Inside a place I can dream
Everythin’s right
Where nothin is real
Stars are shinin’ so bright
So far away
They’ve seen the places I’ve been
Opened my eyes
And shown me the key
House of dreams
Take me where I’m longin to be
House of dreams
Build your castle walls around me
House of dreams
Only place my mind can run free
House of dreams
House of dreams
Seventh son to the night
And black is the heart
That beats forever inside
Driftin’ away now
Far from the crown
Angel shining in white
Answer my call
On wings that stop time in flight
Help my soul lay
This burden down

Just a Day Away

She was a barefoot child
Growin’ hungry poor and wild
Born beneath an African sun
Orphan of a war
There’s always some reason for
When the rocky road to freedom comes undone
But too much pain
And too much hate
Was a game she never learned to play
So she lived down deep inside
Sometimes love’s a place to hide
And it’s just a day away
They’re out here on the road tonight
You can feel ‘em in your bones
Those lifetime songs
So many rights so many wrongs
Still makin’ their way home
Where somethin’ more
And somethin’ less
And nothin’ new to say
Stand in line
Out of touch out of time
And it’s just a day away
And it swept across the sea
The dark tale of history
In a wave that tore the people from their home
And set ‘em down to toil
On a New World’s angry soil
Bought and sold and beaten and alone
And those who fought
And those who fell
Their stories marked the way
The colour of their skin
The love that burned within
And it’s just a day away
The colour of their skin
The love that burns within
And it’s just a day away

The Rise and Fall
05:05
|

A new day rings
With the song that it brings
And everyone waits for the call
A lonely heart yearns
While a lover’s heart burns
And it’s all in the rise and fall
And it may seem far away
But it happens each day
That one chance that changes it all
When the long slow slide
Meets the turn of the tide
And it’s all in the rise and fall
But nightmares can’t fly
In the mornin’ light
When waiting dreams answer the call
And a new day rings
With the song that you bring
And it’s all in the rise and fall
It’s so easy to say
When the luck runs your way
And you’re ridin’ high feelin’ tall
But that old wind still blows
Yeah that’s just how it goes
And it’s all in the rise and fall
But nightmares can’t fly
In the mornin’ light
When working dreams answer the call
And a new day sings
With the song that you bring
And it’s all in the rise and fall

A Loser in Love's Game
04:25
|
|||
|
Eyes closed tight to keep out the light
But still you see her face so clear
You won some rounds
But you lost the fight
Says a voice that whispers in your ear
Says a voice that whispers in your ear
You see her face and you see her smile
Or laughing in her special way
All memories now that you keep on file
To look at every rainy day
Seems like every day’s a rainy day
You hope she’ll come back to you someday
That things will maybe be the same
But another chance can seem so far away
When you’re a loser in love’s game
When you’re a loser in love’s game
So study then my friend the photograph
That keeps its place inside your head
And hold it dear for it’s her autograph
Would that she where there instead
Would that she where there instead
As darkness falls in this lonely room
Touch the door and turn the key
Peace comes slowly and it leaves too soon
Is this the way it has to be?
Is this the way it has to be?

I share your sweetest moments
I hear your long goodbye
I keep your childhood secrets
And I feel the winds of change
And I hold the time that flies
With the sound of the morning
Comes a song that knows you well
And bittersweet its calling
Slips inside your mind
Your story there to tell
What I am is who you are
And who you used to be
You take me with you
Wherever you are
Runnin’ fast or runnin’ free
What I am is who you are
And who you might have been
I’m deep inside you
Whoever you are
The pulse that beats beneath your skin
The pulse that beats beneath your skin
So a thousand different voices
Still talk with you each day
In whispers dreams and choices
That echo down your walls
And set you on your way
And they’re more than just the memory
Of a place that you’ve come from
More than names and faces
They’re the cradle of your days
And the first line of your song
