My Rebecca
04:51
|
|||
|
You came into my life and baby knocked me out
Then when I came back around, you know I had to shout
If I could only tell you what your smile means to me
But in my mind you're far away, I fall down to my knees.
My Rebecca, how I wish you knew
That where I wanna be is just right here with you
My Rebecca, I wish that you could see
That where you belong is just right here with me
Well now you're in my life and I know I'll find a way
To keep you by my side, oh I'm gonna get you to stay
I'll kiss you very softly and hold you in my arms
You'll look back up and me, you know I'll keep you safe from harm.
*Chorus*
We only have this one chance to make our love be real
Don't give up on me baby, I want your heart to heal
Please don't turn around, I can't take it if you run
Don't you know I'm sure that girl you are the only one.
*Chorus*
My Rebecca, My Rebecca

Farewell
03:46
|
|||
|
I bid farewell and I'm on my way
Oh bid farewell, for I leave today
I roam the streets to find my path
I tried to love but it didn't last
Don't watch me leave, you only tease me
I roam from here and I won't look back
I'm praying you don't find my tracks
Once I dreamed our love was it
Now its a memory I long to forget
As I leave this life behind I only guess what I might find
So this is farewell, there'll be no more
I can't stay here and fight this war
Our love may be lost, but I am found
Until I lay down in the ground
Don't watch me leave, you only tease me
Farewell, farewell, farewell

Highway Songs
04:18
|
|||
|
The feeling's right, so baby keep riding
Into the night we start flying
The time has come to let our worries go
And find out who we are out here on the road
We're singing Highway Songs Ring in Our Ears
Riding along, they quell all our fears
Colors in the air, all in motion
We'll go anywhere with this sweet emotion
Time slips by, shine the moonlit sky
Fine, the way we'll fly, shine the look in your eye
The feelings right, so baby keep riding
Its alright our doubt is dying
The time has come to find out who we are
And in the end we'll travel so far
We're singing Highway Songs Ring in Our Ears
Riding along, they quell all our fears
Colors in the air, all in motion
We'll go anywhere with this sweet emotion
Highway Songs, Highway Songs, Highway Songs, Highway Songs

There's a look in your eyes thats telling me lies
And I know deep inside a part of you's died, you don't know your worth
There's so much pain in your face, you tell me you're a disgrace
But I know that you tried to feel so alive, you don't know your worth
Because you'll never know how much of it shows
You won't let yourself see that your heart can be free
There's no warmth to your touch, you say you're hurting so much
But its never enough, you feel so undone, you don't know your worth
Its a long, cold and dark road, and you walk it alone, you walk it alone
But there's a light far ahead I don't think you can see, I don't think you can see
There's a look in your eyes that makes my heart capsize
But I know deep inside your soul is alive, you don't know your worth
And I know deep inside your soul is alive, you don't know your worth

One More Martini
05:31
|
|||
|
The memory of your eyes that used to hypnotize
Is all that I have left, and I know it was contrived
Alone in this dark room, afraid to face the truth
The walls are closing in on the memories of you
The memory of your hands is something I can't stand
I crumble to the ground in this forsaken land
But the memories only last for a moment, then they pass
And I can only hold on for so long before they're gone
Oh won't you tell me how to forget your gentle touch
I can't go on like this, the memories aren't enough
I need to find a way to drown and not to see
Now I know the answer is one more martini
Our love now only lasts on some superficial stage
So I watch while it plays out and my heart begins to age
It helps me lose my mind and forget this wasted time
Now I have nothing left to be as I drown in a martini
I'll lose my mind forever, though I fight to stop the slide
But time I can't resist, so I fall in for the ride
Its become my only friend, I drown but now I see
That at the very end is one more martini

You say you're treating me like you should
(Just gotta tell me where you come from)
You say you'll handle me, like you could
(Gonna See it through until I'm done)
Now there's nothing left to say
(I can't wait for us to go now)
Stand back, get outta my way
(Watch me put on a show now)
Stay far away from me, stay far away from me
You say you're leaving me, like you could
(Just gotta tell me when you're going)
You say you don't think I act like I should
(What about this anger that you're showing)
Hey you have a super day
(I can't wait for you to go now)
Had enough, get outta my way
(I'm about as diesel as a snow plow)
Stay far away from me, stay far away from me
Stay far away from me, stay far away from me

Glass Ballerina
06:20
|
|||
|
Its one thing to be gliding, spinning, twirling, while you dance
And I know you're graceful
Its one thing to be loving, caring, kissing, in my arms
And I know you're beautiful
If only for a moment in time, when you shine
Glass ballerina, take your steps softly across the floor
Lights shine through you, they need you more
Its one thing to be running, crying, hiding, from the world
And I know you're everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Its one thing to be flying, soaring, gliding, and I love you
While you're in the air, while you're in the air
If only for a moment in time, when you shine
Glass ballerina, when I hold you I won't let you fall
In this moment frozen, but you always knew, you always knew
Woah you always knew

Your Hand In Mine
02:52
|
|||
|
Well there's a jazzy note and its playing down for ya
There's a new sweet sound you got to feel it coming at ya
So play it straight, the music makes you move your body
To its swinging beat, and you're dancing with me honey tonight
I got your hand in mine
Ah do da do do do
A sexy glance that you're shooting down my way
And I feel your beat like cars on the highway
So sit right here and we'll make conversation
I gotta say, I like your alliteration tonight
I got your hand in mine
I got your hand in mine
Your glossy lips and your swinging hips are gonna drive me wild before the night is over
And when those notes just fill the air around us
We can dance all night as long as we can keep on swinging
So don't slow down, we'll have a time to remember
I gotta say, I think that you have the answer tonight
I got your hand in mine
I got your hand in mine
I got your hand in mine now, its alright now, its alright
Yeah

Surfing
05:07
|
|||
|
I remember when I saw her walking in the sand
The sun reached out and stole a kiss, and it painted her tan
Gliding 'cross the ocean waves, twisting and hanging ten
Settling in as the wave rolls by, and swimming out again
I saw her face in this moment frozen
Oh I felt it when, she saw me and then
Oh when she's surfing under the sun
And the ocean's loving her so much
I remember when I heard her laugh, that cute little thing
Well she'll make me want to want everything
Oh when she's surfing under the sun
And the ocean's loving her so much
Oh when she's surfing under the sun
And the ocean's loving her so much

No Doubt About It
04:51
|
|||
|
No doubt about it, its an endless night
Without the slightest bit of light
You're gonna find yourself falling hard
Unless you make it through the dark
No doubt about it, she's a vicious girl
Without an equal in the world
She'll cut you down to size with her lies
Unless you see through her disguise
So now you need to make your way back to the start
But you gotta find your way down through the dark
Cause its prime time for crime time in the night
And you can't go down without a fight
The clothes you're wearing stain with blood and tears
And make you realize your fears
You wonder if this night will ever end
But on your strength it will depend
If only you could make it through the dark
And keep an eye out on the sharks
Because you never know they're swimming round
Until they start to drag you down
So now you better find the strength and swim for your life
Cause if you don't they're gonna bring you total strife
Unless you turn around and hit em hard where they're weak
But your chances sure are looking bleak
No doubt about it on this endless night
You will be fighting for your life
You need to stop yourself from falling hard
Or you'll be lost into the dark
No doubt about it she's a vicious girl
And she will rock your fragile world
She'll cut you down to size with her lies
Unless you see through her disguise

Worse for Wear
05:23
|
|||
|
People have hurt you, it troubles my mind
Its not fair to tell you you'll heal with time
You carry a burden in your heart, wounds from the past won't fully heal
Reminders of the pain you've faced, you know they're real
Judging eyes see you there
They can't see the cross you bear, you're worse for wear
You're worse for wear
But time still goes on, and memories fade
You're left alone to cope yourself while others age
And now this burden in your heart, and isolation that you feel
Reminders of the pain you've faced become surreal
Judging eyes see you there
They forget the cross you bear, you're worse for wear
You're worse for wear
You're worse for wear
You're worse for wear
You're worse for wear
You're worse for wear

Now I know the night will always come
Our love must last when there's no sun
Through my many memories you have never let me down
Now its up to you and me to stay on the ground
And now always we'll go through the door
I'll be loving you forever
But in some ways we'll keep wanting more
When we're on the next endeavor
Black as black sack cloth is what I'm told
Hold my hand and we'll watch the time unfold
Times of joy fill with sorrow as the night rolls in
But with you all is calm, I don't fear as it begins
And now always we'll go through the door
I'll be loving you forever
But in some ways we'll keep wanting more
When we're on the next endeavor
Now I know the night will always come
But I'll stay with you when the night time comes
When the night time comes
When the night time comes
