Over And Over
Could you ever need me
And would you know how
Don't waste our time
Tell me now
All you have to do
Is speak out my name
And I would come running anyway
And I said
Could it be me
Could it really really be?
Over and over
Could it really really be?
And I said
Could it be me
Could it really really be?
Over and over
Could it really really be?
Don't turn me away
And don't let me down
What can I do
To keep you around
Over and over
Over and over

The Ledge
Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' through your fingers
Watchin' how it grows
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
Do you ever wonder
Do you ever hate
Six feet under
Someone who can wait
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about
You're never gonna make it baby
Ooh you're never gonna make me crazy
Ooh you're never gonna
Make it babe
Make it baby
Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' through your fingers
Watchin' how it goes
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about
Buy another fixture
Tell another lie
Paint another picture
See who's surprised
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about
Ohh You're never gonna make it baby
Ooh you're never gonna
Make it babe

You can love me baby but you can't walk out
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta, someone oughta

Someone oughta, someone oughta
Someone oughta, someone oughta

Think About Me
All it took was a special look
And I felt I knew you before
I didn't mean to love you
Didn't think it would work out
But I knew we would be together
And I couldn't wait for more
What can they say, it's not against the law
I don't hold you down
And maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me
I believe that you really want me
But it's not easy just to give in
So let yourself go and let love begin

Save Me A Place
Don't know why I have to work
Don't know why I can't play
Turn me off turn me out
But don't turn me away
Save me a place
I'll come running if you love me today
Don't know why I have to go
Don't know why I can't stay
Guess I want to be alone
And I guess I need to be amazed
Save me a place
I'll come running if you love me today
I'll come running if you love me today

Sara
Wait a minute baby...
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home
And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match
He was singing
Undoing the laces
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home
Hold On
The night is coming and starling flew for days
I'd stay home
at night all the tim
I'd go anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there, I care
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
If you build your house
Then please call me home
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
I'll come by
All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat
and it never really died)

What Makes You Think You're The One
What makes you think you're the one
Who can laugh without cryin'
What makes you think you're the one
Who can live without dyin'
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me
What makes you think I'm the one
Who'll be there when you're callin'
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will catch you when you're fallin'
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will love you forever?
Everything you do has been done
And it won't last forever
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me

Storms
Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test
Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say
Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside
I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road
And I did not deal with you I know
Though the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win
So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm
We were frail
She said
"Every night he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted
I loved you from the start
Save us
And not all the prayers in the world could save us

That's All For Everyone
That's all for everyone
That's all for me
Last call for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
I yell for everyone
I cry for more
That's all for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
That's all
I need somewhere to go
That's all
Must be what I need
That's all
I need someone to know
Last call
Exactly what I need
I can't stay
I can't deceive
That's all for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
So that's all for everyone
That's all for me
Last call for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
That's all
I need somewhere to go
That's all
Must be what I need
That's all
I need someone to know
Last call
Exactly what I need
That's all for everyone
That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all

Not The Funny
It's not that funny is it
When you don't know what it is
But you can't get enough of it
It's not that funny is it?
Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!
I didn't wanna bleed so
I didn't wanna be this late
So don't make me wait!
It's not that funny is it
No one to turn you on
All your hope is gone
It's not that funny is it?
Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!
You're here 'cause I say so
Didn't wanna be this late
So don't make me
Don't make me wait!
Here comes the nighttime looking for a little more
Waiting on right time somebody outside the door

Sisters Of The Moon
Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me
And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money
I think she knew
The people, they still love her
And still they are the most cruel
She asked me
Be my sister, sister of the moon
Some call her sister of the moon
Some say illusions are her game
Wrap her in velvet
Does anyone, know her name

Angel
Sometimes
The most beautiful things
The most innocent things
And many of those dreams
Pass us by
Keep passing me by
You feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good
You were very, very good
So I close my eyes softly
Till I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime
And to those that I love
Like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour
And a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams
I still look up
When you walk in the room
I've the same wide eyes
They tell a story
Try not to reach out
When you turn 'round
You say hello
And we both pretend
So I close my eyes softly
Till I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime
And to those that I love
Like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour
And a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams
I still look up
I try hard not to look up
That girl was me
Track a ghost through the fog
A charmed hour
A haunted song
Track a ghost through the fog, baby
Ooh, you try hard
But you'll never catch me
Yeah

That's Enough For Me
Everytime that you make me smile it's the same old way it used to be
And that's enough for me
Everytime that sleep don't come it's the same old pain that used to be
And that's enough for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, oh
Every night that sleep won't come it's the same old way it used to be
And that's enough for me
And that's enough for me
And that's enough for me

Brown Eyes
When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to do
Do you have to have me
The way that I want you
I want you
When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to say
And are you just another liar
Will you take me all the way
All the way

Never Make Me Cry
Go and do what you want
I know that you have the need
You know that I'll wait, as long as it takes
You'll never make me
You'll never make me
You'll never make me cry
I may not mean everything
But I'm happy to have your love
So don't worry baby, I'll be alright
And I'll never make you
I'll never make you
I'll never make you cry
So go and do what you want
I know that you have the need
And don't worry baby, I'll be alright
You'll never make me cry

I Know I'm Not Wrong
Her lips were waitin'
Her eyes looked sad
The dreams of a lifetime
A year gone bad
The dreams of a lifetime
Told me wrong
Everything is all right
And now it's gone
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong
Here comes the nighttime
Lookin' for a little more
Waitin' on the right time
Somebody outside the door
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong
Her lips were waitin'
Her eyes looked sad
The dreams of a lifetime
A year gone bad
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong

Honey Hi
Honey, honey, honey
Who could be sweeter than you
Honey, honey, honey
Bittersweet, but what can I do
Lord, it's good to talk to you
Even sweeter than wine
Don't take the love light away
'Cause I'm far away from home
Daddy, all I'm trying to tell you
Lord, I really love you, love you, love you
Honey, honey, honey hi
Honey, honey, honey hi
Honey, honey, honey hi

Beautiful Child
Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more
You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
I had to stay
I had to stay
Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, just go
Your hands, held mine so few hours
But I'm not a child anymore
I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough
To reach for the stars
I'm old enough
To love you from afar
Too trusting... yes?
But then women usually are
I'm not a child anymore
No, I'm not a child, oh no
Tall enough to reach for the stars
I will do
As I'm told
Even if I never hold you again
I never hold you again
Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
I wish that you were mine

Walk A Thin Line
I've seen so many things that made me wonder
But sometimes it's hard to tell
I said "Take your time"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line
They told me that I never would recover
Still some say they knew me well
I said "Stay by my side"
But no one said nothin'
I walk a thin line
I said "Please toe the line"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line
I said "Fate takes time"
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line.

Tusk
Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?
Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?
Don't say that you love me
Just tell me that you want me
Tusk!!!
Tusk!!!
Tusk!!!
Tusk!!!

Never Forget
Come on baby, could you ever be
Just a little close to me
Ooh ooh ooh
Could we ever forget tonight?
Come on baby, let's take a stroll
You're feelin' warm so don't be cold
Ooh ooh ooh
We'll never forget tonight?
What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me
Come on baby, now don't you be cold
Just remember that love is gold
Ooh ooh
We will never forget tonight

The Farmer's Daughter
I do come from miles away
Haven't got no place to stay
Glad to help you plow your fields
Farmer's daughter
Might be just a couple of days
Clean up rest and on my way
Thank you and I'm must obliged
Farmer's daughter
Ooh, ooh
So long better leave your land
Many thanks it was mighty grand
I do hope to see you again
Ooh, farmer's daughter
