Little Blonde Plaits

Sweet September, I remember
Eyes of August deepest blue
While the lazy town was sleeping
Strangest love that I ever knew
Feel the wind blow, see the shadows
Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore
Of my life's loves and fascinations
The only one who left me wanting more
Little blonde plaits
Drink to you love, drink to me love
Sun burned feet on a dusty track
Evening waves that turned in twilight
Caught forever those little blonde plaits

Looking For A Rainbow

Well we come down to the valley
Yeh we're looking for the honey
I see a rainbow
I said that's the land of milk and honey

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yeh we're looking for a rainbow

Well we come down to the valley
Got our babies in our arms
Yeh we're Maggie's little children
And we're looking for Maggie's farm

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Oh we're looking for a rainbow
Yeh we're looking for a rainbow
Oh we're looking for a rainbow

Well we come down to the valley
That ain't far away no more
You can't leave us dying this time
'Cos we're all around your door

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Oh we're looking for a rainbow
Yeh we're looking for a rainbow
We're looking for a rainbow

Looking For The Summer

Look deep into the April face
A change has clearly taken place
Looking for the summer

The eyes take on a certain gaze
And leave behind the springtime days
Go looking for the summer

This ain't no game of kiss and tell
The implications how you know so well
Go looking for the summer

The time has come and they must go
To play the passion out that haunts you so
Looking for the summer

Remember love how it was the same
We scratched and hurt each others growing pains
We were looking for the summer

And still I stand this very day
With a burning wish to fly away
I'm still looking
Looking for the summer

Love Turns To Lies

I could have stood to watch you walk away
And put it down to your uncertain ways
Or maybe baby you've had a change of heart
Maybe wanna make a brand new start
Crazy though what I say may seem
I could have learned to mend these broken dreams
You could have pushed I would have gently fell
I could have played the graceful one so well
What's that you say
You were gonna leave me anyway
Any fool can see, see what you've done to me
When your love turns to lies

The actor played the part of sweet desire
And tiptoed out upon the highest wire
The truth to tell upon a rope too thin
And so the fall of treachery begins
But oh to see the starlet's smiling face
So eagerly awaits to take the place
I tried to fall in a clean and graceful way
You could have said I would have given way

And I see him smile the way that I smiled
And I hear him laugh the way that I did
But I hear him screaming and I hear him cry
And I see him falling
When your love turns to lies

What's that you say
You were gonna leave me anyway
Any fool can see, see what you've done to me
When your love turns to lies

Love's Strange Ways

When passion shines her blinding light on you
You know my friend there's nothing that you can really do
Just follow on behind her veil of deepest purple haze
Down, to love's strange ways

Drowning in a laughter as you go
Intoxicating laughter that spins you high and low
Dangerous times are these, but oh so wonderfully new
Laugh along you fool, can't you they're laughing at you
Lost in the haze
Of love's strange ways

Ain't it funny how it turns
When it's all over, nothing's learned
Just a passion and a fool
And a memory that burns
And that's what you get
When you play with love's strange ways

Loving You

he night was black with thunder
The streets were wet with rain
Another day goes under
A little bourbon will take the strain
And I'm waiting for my take-home French fries
She smiled and said 'take me away'
We always laughed but I think she means it
But I'm dreaming my life away
Loving you
Loving you the way that I do

The weekend cars are leaving
In a spray of wind and sound
The bar-talk, make believing
And the drinks go easy down
It's back to the all-night take-away
She says 'Here comes the man of my dreams'
We always laugh but I think she means it
And I'm spending my time
Just loving you
Loving you the way that I do

Loving You Again

It's been so long now since we first met
But the time and place I will never forget
Darling, never

Trough good and bad we stood the tested time
You say I'm yours and darling you're still mine
Forever

So smile for me
'Cos it's there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

And I'll keep holding on girl I won't let go
I want you near me where ever I go
Please say, forever

And I give thanks for what you've given me
And in my heart girl there'll always be
A light
That shines through the darkest night
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

So smile for me
'Cos it's there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

Through the rain and tears
till the sun dries up the sea
till the rivers they run dry
I'm gonna be loving you again

Lucky Day

A little bit of daylight shine on your pillow
Come through your window pane
Speak of the morning, hope is eternal
Better to look at it this way
This could be my lucky day

A glass filled with crystals, six million rainbows
Gifted to see with children's eyes
Always a small chance shooting that rainbow
Bless this dawn with sweet surprise
This could be my lucky day

No inhibitions, naive forever
Better looking up than looking down
Don't try to beat it, twist and defeat it
Leave those kind of complications never to be found
This could be my lucky day

Marvin

Oh Marvin,
Seems so long
But I still remember you
I would have given everything
If I could have talked to you
For just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away

Oh Marvin
The one who wanted,
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away

Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin

Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
thorn of a rose
Before the summer came,
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain

Midnight Blue

I got my money
I got it here in my hand
OK let me tell you
This is how we stand
I've waited so long
Good things, never too late
So don't take no chances
Leave nothing to faith

I wanna walk tall in midnight blue
Look good, oh so good
Step out in midnight blue
Midnight blue

I watch the razors with their class and their style
Dressed to kill, man
Their lives is just one great big smile
And oh I wanna be there
When they dish that stuff out
Cool and collected
Man that's what it's all about

So gimme, gimme, gimme
I want midnight blue
I love midnight blue
I'm gonna step out in midnight blue
So gimme, gimme, gimme midnight blue
Midnight blue
I walk tall in midnight blue
Look good, oh so good
In midnight blue
