THE OCEAN

In me burns a love so strong
I used to think it made me weak
I've held it there for oh so long
Tried to bury it so deep

For there's a soul inside a woman
That knows the soul inside a man
And I could just as well forget you
As hold the ocean in my hand

And you know that it's the second arrow
That always deals the fatal blow
It's not the yearning that'll kill us
But fighting not to let it show

For there's a soul inside a woman
That knows the soul inside a man
And I could just as well forget you
As hold the ocean in my hand

For there's a soul inside a woman
That knows the soul inside a man
And I could just as well forget you
As hold the ocean in my hand

THE RAIN

I know a man with the world on his shoulders
and angel wings on his back
angered and troubled by so much thats out there
and struggling not to paint it black

but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
and bring the sun

and he lives all alone out by the railway
only dreams for company
and at night he flies high up to the stars
and sets his spirit free

but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
and bring the sun

and he dreams of a girl with the moon in her eyes
and fire in her heart
and one day he'll find his way to her
and never will they part

but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
and bring the sun

THERE FOR THE TAKING

There's a whole world
Waiting right there for you
If you'd only see it for what it is
There's a million miles of love for you
If you feel it in every kiss

If you'd only
Still your mind
Then you'd find it's all there
For the taking

All our many, disparate lives
In aching isolation
Too late we realise
Our modern violation

If we'd only still our minds
Then we'd find it's all there for the taking

If we'd only
Still our minds
Then we'd find it's all there
For the taking

THEY SAY

They say 'protect yourself"
I say "from what"
They say "hold a little love inside"
I say "but I wanna give all I got"
They say "leave him and he'll come running"
I say "how could I"
They say "we're going drinking are you coming"
I say "I'd rather stay alone and cry"

How could I forget you
When you're so much a part of me
If love is a prison
Well they can throw away the key

They say "he's not the one for you"
I say "they don't know"
They say "move on to pastimes greener"
I say "to face this is to grow"

How could I forget you
When you're so much a part of me
If love is a prison
Well they can throw away the key
Throw away yeah

How can I forget you
When you're so much a part of me
If love is a prison
Well they can throw away the key

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

How can I forget you
When you're so much a part of me
If love is a prison
Well they can throw away the key
Throw away yeah

How can I forget you
When you're so much a part of me
If love is a prison
Well they can throw away the key
Throw away, throw away
Throw away the key, the key, the key

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

Broken I find your clothes
And dress myself in them

THIS LOVE

This love like no other
This love made me grow
This love could have been sweeter
Than any love I know

Then suddenly the world came
Falling in around my ears
And all I wanna know is who will
Kiss away my tears

This love burning fire
This love cool as rain
This love fed my desire
Then washed me clean again

Then suddenly the world came
Falling in around my ears
And all I wanna know is who will
Kiss away my tears

'Cause it's so cold out here
Now you're gone
And I'll cry me a river of tears
My beloved one

Suddenly the world came
Falling in around my ears
And all I wanna know is who will
Kiss away my tears

I know I can stand alone
But that's not what I wanna hear
All I wanna know is who will
Who will
Oh kiss away
Oh kiss away
Oh kiss away
My tears

This love like no other
This love

TO SURVIVE

Wish I could run away from this pain I feel
Falling out of love can be so unreal
It starts out as everything
And ends up the worst kind of nothing
After all's said and done we just had to stop trying
I couldn't take any more but still it kills me it dying

Did I let you down or just let you go
For as long as I live I swear I'll never know
Caught between love and hate
Destruction our only fate
Through it all there'll always be a place in my heart
For the love you gave me and where you tore it apart

Baby I had to leave
Tho' still it makes my soul bleed
Baby I had to go
Tho' the pain inside
You'll never, never, never know

To survive, to survive, to survive

TREAT HER GENTLY

Something that you said just stuck in my throat
Made me fall apart and wrythe in pain
Could it be the one I love could hate me so
And will I find the love I lost again

All in a day
And the cruel things we say
Love runs away
If you don't
Treat her gently, oh

Sticks and stones will break my bones but now I know
Your words go so much deeper down inside
Now every dream we ever had has turned to stone
You'll never know the rivers that I cried

All in a day
And the cruel things we say
Love runs away
If you don't
Treat her gently, oh

All in a day yeah
And the cruel things we say
Love runs away
If you don't
Treat her gently, oh

TREMBLE

When you look at me
I'm as shaky as a leaf
On a new tree
One look in your eyes
And you make me
Tremble

You have something rare
Ah you take me to a place
I've never known before
Oh the magic that we share
Oh it makes me makes me
Tremble, yeah

And when you hold my hand
Oh I could dust with joy
Baby understand
I never felt this way with any other boy

Darlin', pity me
Tho' there's no place on this earth
I'd rather be
Hmmm and all the world can see
How you make me make me
Tremble
How you make me make me
Tremble, yeah, yeah
How you make me make me
Tremble
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

WHY

You told me I was beautiful
And held me oh so tight
So I duett on my ugliness and
Hid away my light

Tell me why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in

You said that you'd loved me
Before you saw my face
So I waited and watched for
Another girl to take my place

Tell me why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in

Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why

So much of what I'd hoped for
I couldn't let it be
So I made me a world where
You had to leave

Tell me why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in

I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why

Can't we let the good things in


To sleep, my love, to sleep
Your precious head on pillows, sweet
And know that through the night
My arms will wrap around you tight
For I wonder at each breath you breathe
And I cradle every dream you dream

To sleep, my love, to sleep
Oh deep my love, so deep

WHY WAIT FOR HEAVEN

People dying every day
To prove their god's the only way
But what kind of paradise
Would favour some and some deny

Why, why
Why wait for heaven 'til we die

And I heard an ancient tale
A parable of heaven and hell
And all that set the two apart
Was kindness in the human heart

Why, why
Why wait for heaven 'til we die

And just around this time of year
People singing Christmas cheer
But what a joyous song would sound
If love for all were all year round

Why, why, why, why
Why wait for heaven 'til we die
