The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

The Songwriters

Write it down what you've found out songwriter
Don't let it all slip away
Speak your mind all the time songwriter
Someone is listening today

So write on songwriter, write on songwriter
Write on songwriter, write on songwriter

So write on songwriter, write on songwriter
Write on songwriter, write on songwriter...

The Sound Of Your Memory

Well I've been feeling a little bad
Cause I've been feeling a little better without you
It's a little like rain but it's a lot like a sunny day
And it's hard to explain but the sound of your name don't make music anymore
It's more than a sound of a love that I lost one day
It's a little too late to start thinking about startin' all over
I'd rather stay where I am I can't take another slam in the mind
I've been feeling a little bad cause I've been feeling a little better without you
But remember my love is the sound that you hear in your mind

[ guitar ]

I've been running around even laughing at half of the mem'ries
And you're not hard to remember I just have to think of your name
I've been feeling a little bad...

The Troublemaker

I could tell the moment that I saw him,
He was nothing but the troublemaking kind
His hair was much too long and his motley group of friends
Had nothing but rebellion on their minds.
He's rejected the establishment completely
And I know for sure He's never held a job.
He just goes from town to town
Stirring up the young folks
'Til they're nothing but a disrespectful mob.
And I know for sure He's never joined the army
And served His country like we all have done.
He'd rather wear His sandals and His flowers
While others wage the war that must be won.
They arrested Him last week and found Him guilty
Aand sentenced Him to die but that's no great loss.
Friday they will take Him to a place called Calvary
And hang that troublemaker to a cross.
MmmmmmHmm.......

The Wall

I took on more than I could handle
I bit of more than I could chew
I hit the wall
I went off like a Roman candle
Burnin' everyone I knew
I hit the wall
I hit the wall

And the wall came down
Crashin' down
And there was not a sound

Half my lie I'm ridin' on a rocket
One world to the next and on and on
I hit the wall
Takin' things to make it make me better
Remembering things I never knew I knew
I hit the wall
I hit the wall

And the wall came down
Crashin' down
And there was not a sound

And the wall came down
Roaring crashin' down
And there was not a sound

And the wall came down
Crashin' down
And there was not a sound

The Warm Red Wine

Put a nickel in the jukebox
And let it play
For my heart is troubled with pain
Take the cork from the bottle
Of the warm red wine
And fill my glass up, again.

Fill my glass to the brim
Till it flows o'er the rim
Like the tears flow in this heart of mine
Then I'll say so long
To the dreams that are gone
On account of the warm red wine.

[Instrumental]

Oh, a prison of stone
With it's cold iron bars
Is no more than a prison than mine
I'm a prisoner of drink
Who will never escape
From the chains of the warm red wine.

Oh, the wine is red
So warm and red
Like the ribbon
It sparkles and shines
But I paid for the wine
Yeah, That one red wine
With all of my hopes
And in my dreams...

The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise

Dear one the world is waiting for the sunrise
Every rose is heavy heavy with dew
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you
[ piano ]
Dear one the world is waiting...

There Goes A Man

There goes a man who gave his heart to someone and I feel sorry for him
For that someone just gave her heart to me
Now he's the loser and it hurts so much to lose and I feel sorry for him
Cause the loser I know could have been me
Oh how he loved her I'm sure he must have loved her almost as much as me
But fate has frowned on him then turned around and smiled on me
There goes a man who gave his heart to someone and I feel sorry for him
For that someone just gave her heart to me
If things were different and if he had won her love instead of me
I wonder if he'd find the time to offer sympathy
There goes a man who gave his heart to someone and I feel sorry
For him cause that someone just gave her heart to me

There Is A Fountain

There is a fountain
Filled with blood drawn from Emmanuels veins
And sinners plunged, beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, tho' vile as he
wash all my sins away
Wash all my sins away
wash all my sins away;
And there may I, tho' vile as he,
wash all my sins away.
Eer since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
and shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.

There Is No Easy Way (but There Is A Way)

Now that we're back together the battle is half won
We'll try to save a part of yesterday
I know it won't be easy but at least we have begun
There is no easy way but there is a way
We both could use some understanding trust would help
And the journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step
And is love not worth the price we'll have to pay
There is no easy way but there is a way
[ guitar - steel ]
We both could use some understanding...
There is no easy way but there is a way
