"Doesn't Have To Be This Way"

Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from
When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay

You smell like moonlight and early morning rain
Pray til a fool but surrender to your pain
Or find a cure for your decay

[Chorus:]
You're at your best with an ache in your chest
And that worn out old song that you play
Only Jesus and you who long to teach us
Should know and be left to betray

I don't know the answer but I know who to blame
You can choose the dancer if you could choose the flame
I think you'll find they're one in the same
It doesn't have to be this way

[Chorus]

I don't know the answer but I know who to blame
Pray til a fool but surrender to your pain
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay

Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from
When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay
It doesn't have to be this way

"If I Didn't Know Any Better"

I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary feelin'
The moon is our deceiver that will leave you running blind

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this is just a beautiful illusion, a case of the confusion, between love and desire

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love

When the flame burns out
And fine'ly settles down
And you'd forget I ever came around

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind

"A Living Prayer"

In this world I walk alone with no place to call my home
But there's One who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He's become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
This Savior lives inside me there

In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee

In these trials of life I find
Another Voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives

In your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee
take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee

As lovely as you

The big moon is risin’ so bright in the sky
But it won’t shine brighter than the stars in your eyes
It rises above me so bright and so blue
And I won’t see anyone, as lovely as you

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know, in my heart

So lay down beside me and hold me tonight
For your love has found me and it feels so right
These thoughts in my mind are so scattered and few
And I won’t see anyone as lovely as you

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know, in my heart
In my heart

"Don`t Follow Me"

When I step on board that big jet plane
I'll be leaving our love behind
I hope it's wings will carry me somewhere
I can mend this heart of mine.

Chorus:
So don't follow me, don't follow me
I'm bound to a place I can't recall
I feel the big jet slice through midnight skies
I'll search for the answers alone
And wait for the time to go home.

Hear the wind outside, blowin' loud and strong
Hear the mighty engines moan
I'll be far from here when the sun comes up
With a love that has grown.

Chorus:
So don't follow me, don't follow me
I'm bound to a place I can't recall
I feel the big jet slice through midnight skies
I'll search for the answers alone
And wait for the time to go home.

I feel the wheels touch down as I awake
From a dream I've had of you
I hope a better day will find us soon
The love that we thought to be true.

Chorus:
So don't follow me, don't follow me
I'm bound to a place I can't recall
I feel the big jet slice through midnight skies
I'll search for the answers alone
And wait for the time to go home

Foolish Heart


I think I'll take my foolish heart, my friend, and head right for the door.

There'll be a better world waitin' if I do.

'Cause I know I've been down this road a time or two before,

The only time I let my heart turn to you.



Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.

I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.



Still somethin' deep inside keeps tellin' me to make the sacrifice,

And askin' me to walk the extra mile.

I've walked it now to many times with freedom for the price.

Too many times to fight back tears behind my smiles.



Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.

I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.



I know I must seem quite unkind to wander off tonight

And leave the moon up above to hold your gaze.

It's only that my foolish heart is bound with foolish pride.

Maybe some day I'll see the sunshine upon your face.



Now I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.

I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.



I'll take my heart, and head right for the door...
