Trouble In Shangri-La
I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And I carried on, like I couldn't stop
All of it for us baby
And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain I was in
Chorus:
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back...to the sea
With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know, I generally take it
Well I make accommodations for you
And consider this
You used to be my love
I make excuses for you
Chorus
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color
But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are heartbroken
You say, dear God, make it stop!
Before the dawn of separation
Brings up the wind
Rises around you
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
Pillars of color
Trouble in Shangri-La
I make accommodations for you
I guess we don't believe
That things could go that far
We all believe in people...
That we think believe in God
Somewhere in the night...
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again...
Chorus
***
Candlebright
For no special reason
I am leaving you for awhile tonight
I'm flying far above you
Still I love you
You make things right
I've been with you before
I'll be with you again
I'll come back for more, yea
The story has a strange ending
Chorus:
Well, you know me I'm a nomad
I can't feel bad
About the way I am
I've been rolling around
My whole life
You're my candlebright in the window
You guide me back again
And I come when you shine
You are not my friend, no
But I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
Chorus
Still I love you
My candlebright
You are not my friend
But still I love you
You're my candlebright
Still I love you
But you are not my friend
But still I love you

Sorcerer
I'm tired
I'm thirsty
I'm wild-eyed
In my misery
Timeless in your finery
It's a high price
For your luxury
Chorus:
Sorcerer
Who is the master
A man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer
Show me the high life
Come over
Let me put you on ice
All around black ink darkness
And who found lady from the mountains
All around black ink darkness
And who found lady from the mountains
Lady from the mountains
I'm tired
I need you badly
I'm wild-eyed
In my misery
Timeless in your finery
It's a high price
For your luxury

Planets Of The Universe
The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by
They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at the skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover
Chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I'm afraid soon there'll be
No light
No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime
Chorus
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain
Now I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone
Chorus

Everyday
Don't keep me hangin' on a string
Tell me what I feel is no big thing
Don't turn away I'm listening
Over and over again
Don't give me visions to explain
There are no doubts I feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again
Chorus:
Every day I see you
Every day I need you
Every way I breathe you
On and on and on and on again
It's not important to wonder why
What is just is no more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and over again
Chorus
Imagine all the ways to cope
I close my eyes, that gives me hope
It cures the silence

Too Far From Texas
There's a plane, it's headed for London
Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
Ooh, I can't stop it
There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
And in that moment what will he think then...
When I can't touch him
Chorus:
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home
In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter...
But he might never
Chorus
Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know I'm holdin' on
And that won't change no matter where he's gone
Chorus
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day

That Made Me Stronger
Dreams reoccur in my solitude
Breaking my heart
Injuring my mood
With all of the things that I thought I knew
It was you
Chorus:
Well the conversation rings in my head
Well you know me better than I know myself
Will you write this for me
He says no, you write your songs yourself
That made me stronger
It made me hold on to me
Well, I remember
You caught my eye
It was late September
It was no surprise
He made me better
His songs were soft and tender sometimes
Chorus
Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind
Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind
It's Only Love
I think I met my match again
Passing 'round the candlelight
In the center of the blizzard
You stood and melted all the ice
Chorus:
Ah, it's only love
Ah, it's only love
Ah, if only love comes around again
It will have been
Worth the ride
You were master of so many
But savior to none
I waged all of my hopes so plenty
On you, now look what I've become
Chorus
Someday's lonely is not only
A word, but faces I have known
And if you see me, could you free me
With a smile, so I can let go
Chorus

Love Changes
It wasn't that I didn't love you
I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried
To make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that I gave you was...
All around you
There was nothing left for me
But I hate to say it
But I saw it coming
My feelings were changing
Chorus:
I only say what you want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving I was in tears
He knows my fears
I wish I could figure a way around this
She says...like a sad song
I don't understand the way that I feel
I am terrified of being wrong
Well, I am not happy
And I am not crazy
Are you listening, do you hear
Everything happens for a reason
Stay clear
Chorus
When love changes in the flash of an eye
It leaves people burnin' by the side of the road
You stand there you got nothing to hold
For the first time you are alone
For the first time you are alone
It wasn't that I didn't love you
But I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried to make it all better
It was not better for me
The love that I gave you was all around you
There was nothing left for me
But I hate to say it
But I saw it coming
My feelings were changing
Chorus
That don't mend the sorrow
Or reinvent the pleasure

I Miss You
When I think about you
I think about how much I
Miss you when you're not around
When I think about you
I think about how much I
Can't wait to hear the sound
Of your laughter
Time and distance never matter
Chorus:
Well I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me
Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I
Wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now
Chorus
Paris to Rome, London to Paris
Always goodbye, I nearly couldn't bear it
Her heart settles down
She's back on that staircase
On the way up to her place

Bombay Sapphire
You--beloved
Were to me--everything
That love stood for
To love one another for awhile
Was enough--
It was all that I lived for
How can I go on without you
How can I go on--without you
I tell myself--this time
I'm going to have to--
Move on
Chorus:
It's like
Bombay sapphire
Hey I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart
It is green
It is aqua marine
It is colors I have never seen
I can see past you--to the white sand...
It is blue
It is not about you
It is all true
You know--who I am
And she says, the sea never changes--not really
It is the constant in my life
I always return here
To the flash of those colors
Through every window
The wind through the night
Here I am dramatic
Here I am not waiting
For the call of the wind
Chorus
It's like purple haze
It's there every day
Its passion never fades
You know what I mean

Fall From Grace
I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Chorus:
Wake up with a stranger
It's not something you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together
You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high
Chorus
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well I came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door
I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well it's not enough that you depend on me
And it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive

Love Is
Do you know what this is
No, I don't
But whatever it is
It's very powerful
Have you felt this way before
Oh, I thought I knew
Do you know that I love you now
Oh yes, I do
Love is
You've got the softest lips
You know that I cannot stay
Yes, I know
It has nothing to do
With you or with love
Oh, yes it does
Do not call or come around here
Do not tell
You know that I loved you then
Oh well...
Love is
You've got the softest lips
Love is
The touch of your fingertips
Love is
Knowing you won't let go
She awakens things
That he said he thought were dead
He says, are you happy now
Oh yes, I am
But when it's over
How then will you feel
Will you miss those arms that used to go
Around you
So she stood there in the hallway frozen
In the dark
And her heart broke down
She cried
She fell to the floor
One tear
Slid across her lips
To the corner of her mouth
Love is
And dropped to the floor
Love is
You've got the softest lips
Love is
The touch of your fingertips
Ooh, she says love is
Knowing you won't let go
Love is
Watching you go
You're so very powerful
Love is
Am I happy
Yes I am
Do I know you love me now
Yes I do
Do I know you cannot stay
I know
All about love
All about love
You're so very powerful

Crystal
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special Knowledge holds true, bears believing
I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like and clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning the pages
And I have changed, oh but you, you remain ageless
I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like and clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea, yeah
To the sea, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I turned around and the water was closing around me
I turned around and the water was closing around me
Sea, the sea
I turned around and the water was closing around me
Around me like a glove, around me
Around me, oh, around me
I turned around and the water was closing around me

If You Ever Did Believe
You've left me now
And it's seasoned my soul
And with every step you take
I watch another part of you go
I continue to build a wall
You were so strong, I fell to my knees
And I don't think I can handle this at all
Well, one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you
Yes, and feel
To make you smile
I'd like to be there for you
Have you forgotten me?
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will I have to spend?
My mind won't rest
And I don't sleep
Not even in my dreams
If you ever did believe for my sake
If you ever did believe
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will I have to spend?
And the days go by
Doing nothing about them
How much time
Will I have to spend?
Well, one more night
I'd like to lie and hold you
Yes, and feel
To make you smile
I'd like to be there for you
Have you forgotten me?
Baby, don't leave me
Baby, don't leave me
Baby, don't leave me
I'm down on my knees
Baby, don't leave me
I'm begging you to please
Well, don't leave me
I'm begging you to please
Baby, don't leave me

Touched By An Angel
And when she walked in the room
After so many years
He looked up and saw her
He was standing at the crossroads
She was moving in slow motion
Everything was the same
Except that everything was different
In that very moment, everyone was silent
And everyone was friendly
For the first time in years
Everyone was smiling
Though their pain was apparent
And the floor was wet and slippery
With the tracks of their tears
And when I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better
I have come to take you away.
No one slipped and fell
This time, everyone was steady
Someone held my arm so that
I would not fall
For the fist time, in a long time
Everyone was ready
No one said a word
And that simply said it all
And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better
I have come... to take you away.
I'll make you better
Walking through the room together
In suspended animation
No one saw us go, no one said goodbye
But in my heart I leave
Great expectations
That you will find the answers
To your questions
And that life will once more
Be a celebration
And that you will be touched by an angel
And that you will be touched by an angel
And that you will be touched by an angel
Celebration
Someday
Someday, someday
Celebration
