A World Away

A World Away
as we walk along the road of life and love
there’s so much push and shove to get around
show me all the places you go in your mind
somewhere we can find some light and sound
waking up inside the brand new morning
always listen to the warning coming through the air
night time comes in a peculiar fashion
mixed emotion but no passion takes me nowhere
takes me nowhere
just a world away dream in colour while I’m sleeping
just a world away tomorrow seems like half a world away
a world away
sometimes I feel disconnected from the world outside
cause it’s a lonely ride on your own
and all the secrets I’ve been keeping
while humanity is sleeping just blow me away
waking up inside the brand new morning
always listen to the warning coming through the air
CHORUS
and all the secrets I’ve been keeping
while humanity is sleeping just blow me away
night time comes in a peculiar fashion
mixed emotion but no passion takes me nowhere
takes me nowhere
CHORUS

Always Far Away
She says she doesn’t fit in into the scheme of things
It’s never easy wearing other skin
Above the noise and chaos she begins
To make her plans
She can destroy me with a wave of her hands
She’s always far away
Always in another state of mind (place & time)
She’s always far away
The moment our worlds collide
She says she doesn’t agree and then lets me know
She’s burning turning I’m just faintly aglow
Give me your answer now in sentences slow
But I know what she’s thinking
As I helplessly watch my whole world slip away
CHORUS
But tell me how will it end
And every message you send
Like all the things we pretend are just wasted time and why do I
put so much faith in logic and me
as the night time enfolds me like love
CHORUS

Entangled
When you’re wrapped inside the darkness
in the centre of the storm
and we’re dancing with those demons
and the night will keep us warm
but the night is full of sadness
and the streets they hide in shame
still you walk the hours till morning
looking for someone to blame
I’m entangled
and I’m caught up in your dreams
and I’m drawn into your fire
With the city wrapped in stories
and the rich are wrapped in gold
and I want to be wrapped in your arms
you can keep me from the cold
In the quiet hours of morning
in the harbour of the dawn
and I’m floating and I’m falling
I’m the calm and I’m the storm
CHORUS
I fall into you like a moth to a flame
caught up in your web I’m never be the same
and we scream and we cry and we run and hide
and we try not to show all the aching inside
sometimes it just makes no sense
I just can’t understand
CHORUS

Find Love

Find Love
There was a friend of mine once upon a time
Took a step across that line never to return
It was the longest night
And nothing seemed to fit right
But he had hope in sight
And a willingness to learn
And there's a place in your heart
Just waiting for the moment
That someone steps into the part
When you find love you've got to hold love
Close to your heart don't let it slip away
And when you find love if it's real love
You can feel love it's more than you can say
I'm only trying to reach you
Trying to get these feelings through
But it takes so long to attain that state of mind
And with a little contact
There's no more turning back
When opposites attract
It's a force you can't define
But there's a place in your life
When everything and nothing
Merge to make it right
CHORUS
There's a road somewhere
To take me home
And i'm looking for a sign from you
So i don't have to go alone
And there's a place in your heart
CHORUS

If I Should Fall

If I Should Fall
Now you’re in pieces just a heart lying on the floor
A second glance but theres nothing more
And nothing less just some loneliness
Your waking hours you cry yourself to sleep
Making promises that you can’t keep
Now somebodys leaving you’re alone again
Why’d you leave me on the edge
I try to balance on this ledge
And every time I’ve got something to say
Well you just turn and walk away
And if I should fall
You’d be the only one I’d want to rescue me
And if I should fall
I’d want to fall in love with you
Come tomorrow you’ll be wrapped up in your pain
Though my intentions still remain
And I try everything but nothing’s changed
CHORUS
Cause you’re not the only one who feels
The depth and the truth of something real
No you’re not the only one
And it’s only time or so you said
But I’m still stranded on this ledge
Listen I’ve got something to say
Please don’t turn and walk away
CHORUS

Love Is Around

Love Is Around
I took a ride on my love for you
from the inside
sometimes I just don’t know
just which way that I should go
or should I stand here waiting for you
take a look inside my heart
sometimes I fall apart
be brave and make a start
cause I won’t let you down
won’t let you down
now that love is around
if you could only see
this life with me
yeah you know it’s true
that I do know every rule and how to break them
why can’t you try
to look behind the man
and see the child that lives in my eyes
take a look inside my heart
sometimes I fall apart
be brave and make a start
I won’t let you down
won’t let you down
now that love is around
if you could only see
this life with me
days and nights go spinning around
it’s playing on my mind
one day you could look and see
all the things you’re hoping to find
I won’t let you down
won’t let you down
now that love is around
if you could only see
this life with me
I won’t let you down oh no
won’t let you down no no

When One & One Is Three
you and me sit side by side
empty but both filled with pride
its all the same
night time comes and goes again
we play the game and pretend
that nothings changed
the afternoon melts away
the end of another day
of endless phone calls coming through
I screen them all because of you
yeah you got me now
and then I Don't know what to say
I stop and start day after day
but still somehow
I hear your voice fade away
reminds me of the price we pay
the scent of roses in my head
the taste of love is in my bed
a moving picture down on the wall
the sound of no one down the hall
what does it mean to me
when one and one is three
the things we seem to do and say
can only blow my world away
there's no return
walking over fields of youth
something you said about the truth
maybe we can learn
dissolve to another scene
in black and white we can dream
the scent of roses in my head
the taste of love is in my bed
a moving picture down on the wall
the sound of no one down the hall
what does it mean to me
when one and one is three
what can we do about it
we scream and twist and shout it now
the scent of roses in my head
the taste of love is in my bed
a moving picture down on the wall
the sound of no one down the hall
what does it mean to me
when one and one is three

Sad Cafe
It's a sad cafe and the lights are low
You can come on in if you wanna see the show
Something to do if you've got nowhere else to go
Where the blues are alive in cappucinoland
Where you can still survive with no money in your hand
Sit yourself down and you can listen to the band
Don't be scared don't you be afraid
It's money spent and it's money that's made
Life is for free but it's not readymade
There's a sad cafe and the lights are low
It happens everyday it's the same old show
Something to do if you've got nowhere else to go
Don't be scared don't you be afraid
It's money spent and it's money that's made
Life is for free but it's not readymade
There's a sad cafe and the lights are low
It happens everyday it's the same old show
Something to do if you've got nowhere else to go
To the sad cafe, to the sad cafe

Willingness Of The Heart

Willingness Of The Heart
You could lose your way
Nobody is safe
All good things are sacred
But nothing comes for free
History is clear
All the signs are here
But what else can you do
When temptation is your logic
But still we go on
And rise above these things
On and on
Putting faith before everything
Going through the changes that life just rearranges
Light and empty spaces that make you stand apart
And I’ve been waiting standing in a doorway
Life is coming your way depending on the willingness of the heart
There’s nothing more to do
Message coming through
Bleeding into colour
Seems everything you know is wrong
Mystery takes hold
Like rust becoming gold
Your future will unfold
When the landslide comes
So why do we go on
And struggle with these things
On and on
Knowing faith is everything
CHORUS
And I know some things are too hard to define
for the reasons you just can’t explain
cause and effect by your own hands but not by design
leaves you nowhere to place the blame
but everything leads to now
and life opens up somehow somewhere
CHORUS
