Bella Donna
You can ride high atop your pony
I know you won't fall...
'cause the whole thing's phoney
You can fly swinging from your trapeze
Scaring all the people... but you'll never scare me
Bella donna...
And we fight...for the northern star
No speed limit...this is the fast lane
It's just the way that it is here
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna... we fight...
for the northern star
And the lady's feeling
Like the moon that she loved
Don't you know that the stars are
A part of us
And the lady's feeling
Just like the moon that she loved
And you say...I never thought it could Bella donna...
Come in out of the darkness...
You are in love with...
And I'm ready to sail...
It's just a feeling...
Sort of captures your soul
Bella donna...
And the woman mav be awestruck
And the woman may truly care
But the woman is so tired...
So the woman disappears...
Come in out of the darkness...
Bella donna...my soul...
Don't change...baby please don't change
And you say...
and our face becomes thin
You never thought it could
Come in out of the darkness
Bella donna...
You are in love with
And I'm ready to sail
It's just a feeling...

Kind Of Woman
Temptation falls in your path
No hesitation why you ask
You have another waiting at home
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
You didn't mean to meet her you cry
Oh but the sun goes down every night
She came to you when you were alone
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters you
I promised myself...a long time ago
It would be difficult to let you go
If not at least within
The touch of my fingers
It was close to being
In heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
In being in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Is to be... in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
I know I know

Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Baby you'll come knocking on
my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said ya... well...
What am I supposed to do
I didn't know what I was getting into
So you've had a little trouble in town
Now you're keeping some demon down
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my heart around
It's hard to think about what you've wanted
It's hard to think about what you've lost
This doesn't have to be the big get even
This doesn't have to be anything at all
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to
be your own girl
Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my heart around
There's people running 'round loose in the world
Ain't got nothing better to do
Than make a meal of some bright eyed kid
You need someone looking after you
I know you really want to
tell me good-bye
I know you really want to
be your own girl
Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight
of the words
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my heart around
Stop draggin' my heart around

Think About It
For Christine
Step into the velvet of the morning
Let yourself lay back within your dreams
Take on the situation but not the torment
Now you know it's not as bad as it seems
Well I know you'd like to come away
But baby you can't come
Your fortune is your life's love
Oh and anytime you think about leaving
Think about what you know
Well think about it...
Think about it before you go
Even when you feel like your life is fading
I know that you'll go on forever
You're that good
Heartbreak of the moment is not endless
Now your fortune is your life's love
Well honey...
I know you'd like to come away
But baby you can't come
Your fortune is your life's love
Oh and...
anytime you think about leaving
Think about what you know
Well think about it...
Think about it before you go
And the heart says danger
And the heart says whatever
It is...that you want from me
I am just one...small...part...
Of forever...
Falling...star...star...
Catcher
Even when you feel like your life is fading
I know that you'll go on forever
You're that good
Heartbreak of the moment is not endless
Your fortune is our life's love
Well honey...
I know you'd like to come away But baby you can't come
Your fortune is your life's love
Anytime you think about leaving
Think about what you know
Well think about it...
Think about it before you go...
Well think about it
Think about it before you go...
And the heart says danger
The heart says whatever
Think about it...
Think about it before you
After The Glitter Fades
Well I never thought I'd make it
Here in Hollywood...
I never thought I'd ever
Want to stay...
What I seem to touch these days
Has turned to gold...
What I seem to want
Well you know I'll find a way
For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one...
Fine star...away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
The loneliness of a one night stand
Is hard to take
We all chase something
And maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll
Woman...while her heart breaks
Oh you know...the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel
For me... it's the only life...
That I've ever known
And love is only one... fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains...
Even after the glitter fades
For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh you know...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh the feeling remains...
Even after the glitter... fades
Edge Of Seventeen
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing. whoo..whoo... whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
And the days go by...
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own.
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothing else mattered
He was no more...than a baby then
Well he...seemed broken hearted...
something within him
But the moment...that I first laid...
Eyes...on...him...all alone...
On the edge of... seventeen
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
I went today... maybe I will go again...
tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly. familiar
And I see you doing... what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
and a voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
Like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
The clouds... never expect it...
when it rains
But the sea changes colours..
but the sea...
Does not change
And so...with the slow..graceful
of age
I went forth...with an age old... desire...to please
On the edge of ...seventeen
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
Well then suddenly...
there was no one...left standing In the hall...yeah yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searching for an answer...
Up the stairs...and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
just to hear the call
Of a nightbird...singing
come away...come away...
Just like the white winged dove... sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song..
Calling out to me
Lovers forever... face to face
Sounds like she's singing...
You go...your way
My city or mountains
ooo baby...ooo..said ooo
Well I hear you in the morning...
Ooo no... you don't forget me
I need you today
and I hear you...
At nightfall...
Oooo no...my lonely one
Give to me your leather...
sometime to be near you...
Take from me... my lace
You're doing all you can for me
Is to be unable... to hear you...
They say you're not the man for me
You in the moonlight
my love...
Don't I make it easy
With your sleepy eyes
I'm a few years older than you...
In the still of the night
Could you ever love a man like me
Just like the white winged dove...
It's...me...talking to you
And you were right
When I walked into your house
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
How still my love..
I knew I'd never want to leave
In the still of the night...
ooo baby...ooo...said ooo (repeat)
How Still My Love
Still the same old story
What price glory
You make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night...
How still my love
In the still of the night...
How still my...
Doing all you can for me
They say you're not the man for me
Don't make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night...
How still my love
In the still of the night...
How still my love
Standing...in the doorway
Watching out to sea
Calling out to me
You go...your way
But you don't forget me
Go on...go on
Ooo no...you don't forget me
Oooo no...my lonely one
You're doing all you can for me
They say you're not the man for me
Don't make it easy
In the still of the night
It's...me... talking to you
How still my love.
In the still of the night.
How still my love.
In the still of the night.
It's me that's talkin' to you
In the still of the night
Leather And Lace
duet with Don Henley
Is love so fragile and the heart so hollow
Shatter with words impossible to follow
You're saying I'm fragile I try not to be
I search only for something I can't see
I have my own life
And I am stronger than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Lovers forever - face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me my lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
Outside The Rain
Outside the rain
And the heart skips a beat
So you're lonely
Creature of the night
It's been almost a week
Can you love me only
Look at me, for a very long time
Long enough to know
Love is a word - I've been trying to find
Words don't matter
They don't matter at all
Maybe it's only a dream
I don't want to feel that
Well it's one more link - in the chain
I don't believe that
So you're still lonely
You say that it's been forever
Maybe you never knew me
Maybe you thought that I'd never change - but
You know I'm changing
- You're wrong -
And it's been like dying -
No love's that hard to find -
And I'm tired of -
I'm tired of trying
Outside the rain
And the heart skips a beat
So you’re lonely
Look in my eyes
Touch my face
Baby, there's no one
That can take my place
Look in my eyes, touch my face
Baby there's no one that
Can ever replace that -
heartache
Take away that heartache
Love is a word that some entertain
If you find it
You have won the game
Somebody said "Outside the rain..."

The Highwayman
Alas he was the highwayman
The one that comes and goes
And only the highway-woman
Keeps up with the likes of those
And she in all her magic
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge
And went into the night
And he in all his glory
Was far ahead of her
But she was never sorry
For wishes that would burn
Enter competition
She chases beneath the moon
Her horse is like a dragonfly
She is just a fool
And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be Queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream
And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then... he could never win
And she... out in the distance
Sees him against the sky
A pale and violent rider
A dream begun in wine
And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be Queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream
A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
on a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears
Today and still today they ride
Will they ever win
He the glory...
She the love..
Still they try again
He the glory.
She the love...
Still they try again
He the glory...
She the love..
And still they...try...again

Blue Lamp
There was no message to be found anywhere in sight
Inside or out
I had looked everywhere but the only lamp left on in the house
Was a blue light
I was not ready
I’m no enchantress and I was too proud
Go find some Christmas angel then give that to her
If that's what she wants guardian angel...guardian
If you were wiser you would get out
Downstairs the big old house is mine
Upstairs where the stars still laugh and they shine
Downstairs where the big old house is mine
Outside where the stars still laugh and
Stars still laugh and shine
And the stars still laugh and cry and shine
And the stars still laugh and cry and shine
And the stars still laugh and shine and shine
Don't listen to her, listen through her
Some Christmas angel
Freedom well give that to her
Oh, if that's what she wants, guardian angel.
If you were wiser you would get out
And the light that shines through the shining night
Is a lamp that I carried from my mother's home
And the light that burns through the window pane
And the love remains
And the guardian of your "Challenge" does not cry.

Gold And Braid
Though deep set and somewhat shadowed
Her life... her mystery
Well, it's not so different than the way that he said
"So, don't hide your eyes from me that way, baby"
In his heart he wishes her stardom
His eyes want for her much more
That's not so different
Then the way that he said
"There are so very few stars left"
Don't hide behind your hair
It's a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
You see a pathway ending with a doorway
You slip toward the doorway
Been waiting there all day
All these years
Don't hide it
In his heart he wishes to forget her
Like to make her better
And hold her like a child
Don't hide your eyes that way
Don't hide anything not anymore
Because I never did not love you
I never did run from you
In a dream I said to you
That I'd always love you
***
If You Were My Love
Tonight there are no saviours
This night outside my window
And the sun turns away
As the moon rolls over the mountain
And you are lost in your dreaming
Where is the wild white rose
Oh no, my hands reach for numbers
For someone that could tell me
Oh, if you were my love
If you were my love
With your crosses to bear
And your dreams that still live on
With your crosses to bear now
And your dreams that still live on
Moment to moment, yeah, yeah
Moment to moment
Well, they say that everyone, everyone, everyone
Must remain faithful
However momentarily
Now, now, if I were the one
Who watched over your sleeping
No, no, you would never
Never have been frightened
Oh, oh, no, no, not at all
And our dreams that still live on
With our crosses to bear
And our dreams that still live on
Well, moment to moment, yeah yeah
Moment to moment
Well, they say everyone, everyone
Must remain faithful, oh, ooh
If you were my love
If you were my love, yeah yeah
If you were my love, whoa, yeah yeah
If you were my love, yeah yeah
Moment to moment
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
No, no everyone
If you were my love
No, you must remain
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
It goes on and on and on, now, baby
If you were my love
Oh, no
If you were my love
It goes on and on down
***
Sleeping Angel
Take me if you need me
But never hold me down
You're asking me to trust you
Well there's little of that around
I'm trying to believe you
And I'm learning al the time
Two-part personality
The flower and the vine
Take me sleeping angel
Catch me when you can
Real love affairs are heavy spells
For a woman and a man
I need you because you let me breathe
Well you've token me away
But never take me lightly
Or I could never stay
Well, someday when we're older
And my hair is silver grey
Unbraid with all of the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain
Oh, take me sleeping angel
Oh, catch me when you can
And unbraid with all the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain

The Dealer
It was my fault, my move, my game
If I’d known a little more
I’d a run away
It was dark out
And I held the cards
I was the dealer
And it wasn’t hard
I was the mistress of my fate
I was the card shark
If I’d a looked a little ahead
I’d a run away
I was the mistress of my fate
I gave it all out
If I’d really known you then
You’d a had to watch out
It was my fault, my move, and my wine
I see the sun now
And it still shines
But it was dark out
And I held the cards
Ooh, I was the dealer
And it wasn’t hard
I was the mistress of my fate
I was the card shark
If I’d a looked a little ahead
I’d a run away
I was the mistress of my fate
I gave it all out
If I’d really known you then
You’d a had to watch out
I’ll be the dancer
You be the player
I’ll just almost hold you
You just almost stay here
I’ll be the passion
You be the play
I’ll just almost hold you
You just almost stay here
I’ll just almost hold you
You just almost stay here
I was the mistress of my fate
I was the card shark
If I’d a looked a little ahead
I’d a run away
I was the mistress of my fate
I gave it all out
If I’d really known you then
You’d a had to watch out
If I’d really known you then
You’d a had to watch out
