Uneasy Baby

I’m uneasy baby
You don’t care for me
I’m uneasy baby
You don’t care for me
You got my heart and my soul
But you can’t see

I’m uneasy baby
You don’t hear what I say
I’m uneasy baby
You don’t hear the words that I say
And my love and my faith are just slippin’ away

I’m uneasy baby
You don’t dream of me at nights
I’m uneasy baby
You don’t dream of me at nights
And I’m tired and I’m weary
You know you don’t treat me right

I’m tired and I’m weary
You know you don’t treat me right

I’m uneasy baby
Don’t wanna be here no more
I’m uneasy baby
Don’t wanna be here no more
Got a line in my pocket saying,
‘You’re worth more’

Got a line in my pocket saying
Got a line in my pocket saying
Got a line in my pocket saying,
‘You’re worth more’

Secret

A secret I can keep
You know you know me well
A place that I can be
Where only fools tell
A dream that I can dream
I know it’s one we share
I’ll take you in my mind
I’ll take you there

You practice your deceit
Like you don’t feel the pain
I practice my retreat
Until I fail again
And I wonder if, in time
Some things are better left unsaid
‘Cos your voice inside my mind
Creates a spinning in my head

When I hear you say
“Tell me, how does this feel?”
When I hear you say
“I wanna do this for real”

I know we’ve played the games
Read the signs
Saw some truth
Between the lines
Always fair
Always true
Did I lose my heart
When I found you?

When the body rules the mind
The mind rules the soul
And the keeper of your heart
Is way past your control
And the lie becomes the truth
And the night becomes the day
And the face is in your minds
Of the lovers you betray

When I hear you say
“Tell me, how does this feel?”
When I hear you say
“I wanna do this for real”

I know we’ve played the games
Read the signs
Saw some truth somewhere
Between the lines
Always fair
Always true
Did I lose my mind
The night I found you?

A secret I can keep
A place that I can be
A dream that I can dream
I know it’s one we share
I’ll take you in my mind
I’ll take you there

Without You (Guitar & Piano Mix)

Didn’t think there’d be anyone
Who I’d come to rely upon
I was always a loner,
Didn’t think I needed anyone
I didn’t wanna love
Didn’t wanna be hurt again
‘Cos I’d been down that long and lonely road
I didn’t think it was worth the pain

So I said,
‘hold me if you care’
I said,
‘love me if you dare’
‘Cos I’m trying to find something new
I’m tired of feeling nothing, nothing
Without you

Have so many ambitions
I have so many dreams
And I read I’m gonna see lights
Follow the view, when I cover the scene
But still my mind gets to wander to times
I realised I wanted more
But then I feel the chill of a western wind
Where you opened that door

And I said,
‘hold me if you care’
I said,
‘love me if you dare’
‘Cos I’m trying to find something new
I’m tired of feeling nothing, nothing
Without you

And I said,
‘hold me’
I said,
‘love me’
‘Cos I’m trying to find something new
I’m tired of feeling nothing, nothing
Without you

Somehow (Guitar & Piano Mix)

Tell me your secrets
Tell me your past
Tell me of dreams which haunt all your nights
Of visions that last

Tell me of times
When you barely could stand
Beneath the pain
Of promises heard
And of people betrayed
Silent tears

Will you stay
Here and now
We could live
Somehow

I’ll tell you my secrets
I’ll tell you my past
Of nights when the screams shattered the silence of the dark
Of times when I barely knew how I would stand to feel the pain
Of people who vanished
Of friendships betrayed
Idle tears

The bitter cold nights
Holding on
Alone with our fears

But I will stay
Here and now
We could live
Somehow

I will not leave
I will stay

As I wait for the sunrise
And I watch the night fall
I see shadows that echo through time
I hear voices that still call

See the fire, we watch it burn clear in the dark of the night
Hear the waves as they crash on the rocks
See a distant light
Burning bright

It’s a searching light
But can it penetrate our night

For we will stay
Here and now
We will live somehow

My love, I will not leave
I will stay
We will live
Somehow

We will live
Somehow

Hope Is Alive

Hope is alive
I can see in your eyes
There’s a truth in the wake of your smile
And I dare not see
But I do believe
I’ve taken leave of the silent years

Hope is alive
I can feel through my mind
There’s a place
There’s a truth
There is a time
And I do believe
What I dare not see
I’ve taken leave of the silent years

Hope is alive
I can see and I can feel
I can feel, in the wake of your smile
And I do believe there’s a truth in your eyes
I do believe (what I dare not see)
I do believe (I dare not see)
That I have taken leave of the silent years

The silent years
The silent years
The silent years

You

Love
Is real
To know
Is to feel
To show
Is to see
To love
Is to be

Love
Is mine
Lost
In time
Believe
You’ll see
This love
With me

Because I want to be with you
You wore me down
I said it’s you
You talked me around
I see only you
Let me show you how
I waited for you
You broke me down

Love
Is true
Is me
With you
Is now
Today
Is love
My way

Because I want to be with you
You wore me down
I said it’s you
You talked me around
I see only you
Let me show you how
I waited for you
And you broke me down

Love is real
Real is to know
Know is to feel
Feel is to show
Show is to see
To see is to believe
Oh believe in me

Because I want to be with you
You wore me down
I said it’s you
You talked me around
I see you
Let me show you how
I waited for you
You broke me down

I said it’s you
Ohh you
I see only you
Ohh you

Take Care

I wonder can you see the flowers in the rain?
In bloom the colours rise, like lights in darkness flame
In cruel injustice, hope is not to be disguised
Hold your heart in faith and dream of even times

But take care of the hopes you believe in
All through the night
And take care who you choose to believe in
All through the night
Through your life

When sorrow breeds your pain as it feeds your despair
And you fail to see the light that’s shining everywhere
And sometimes you wonder if you wander in vain
Just to find that the sun will rise, and fall, and rise again

But take care of the hopes you believe in
All through the night
And take care of the truths you believe in
All through the night
Through your life

I wake from silent dreams to see you standing here
You are my light, my strength, the courage to guide my fear
In cruel injustice, if hope is not to be denied
Hold your heart in faith and dream of even times

But take care of the hopes you believe in
All through the night
And take care of the truths you believe in
All through the night
And take care who you choose to believe in
All through the night
Through your life

Don’t Take Your Love Away From Me

Don’t take your love away from me
Don’t turn your back before you see
And don’t take your heart to a strangers place
Don’t be the one to leave my embrace

‘Cos in the dark, I’ve heard you call my name
And in the light, I hear you just the same
I’ve never known such a sweet sound to Ruth
I don’t know how a lie became the truth

But don’t take your love away from me
Just turn around and you will see
And don’t take your heart to a strangers place
Don’t be the one who leaves my embrace

’Cos in the dark, I’ve heard you call my name
And in the light, I hear you just the same
And I’ve never known such a sweet sound to Ruth
And I don’t know how a lie became the truth

But don’t take your love away from me
Don’t turn your back, don’t let this be
Can you betray what you can’t see?
Don’t take your love away from me

No Tears Left To Fall

I’ve seen laughter
I’ve seen pain
Like a desert
Crying out for rain
And I’ve had visions
Dreams of fantasy
Waiting for someone, to be something
To be everything to me

There are no tears left to fall
There’s no one else to call
There are no tears left to fall
There’s nothing here at all

See what you’ve created
See what you’ve made
Drown yourselves in glory
While we drown ourselves in shame

Take me into the darkness
Take me into the night
Hide me in the shadows
Hide me from the lights
‘Cos I’m afraid

There are no tears left to fall
There’s no one else to call
There are no tears left to fall
There’s nothing here at all

I’ve seen laughter
I’ve seen pain
Like a desert
Crying out for rain
And I’ve had visions
Dreams of fantasy
Waiting for someone, to be something
To be everything to me

But there are no tears left to fall
There’s no one else to call
There are no tears left to fall
There’s nothing here at all

I’ve Seen You Here Before

I’ve seen you here before
I think I know your name
It’s funny how you don’t seem to change

I’ve seen you here before
I used to know you well
It’s kind of hard to imagine
Even harder to tell

It’s like a story
I know it isn’t real
It’s like a feeling
I know I’ll never feel

You take me back
Close to the night
I see your face

Some days you take a look at time
And you wonder where it’s been
All the times and places
And the spaces in-between

But are you wondering, just like me
If place and time had been yours and mine
Tell me, where would be
Time and feelings

It’s like a story
And I know it isn’t real
It’s like a feeling
That I know I’ll never feel

But you take me back
Close to the night
I see your face

I’ve seen you here before
I used to know you well
