A Million Reasons

Run away, I run away
I can think of a million reasons why
Sail away, I sail away
I can think of a million reasons why

I told you once, I told you twice I know I'm alive
I told you once, I told you twice I know I'm alive

Walk away, I walk away
I can think of a million reasons why
Fly away, I fly away
I can think of a million reasons why

I'm alive…

In my dreams, I will see you
this song I sing, from me to you
I'll always see you when the sunshine's
I'm always with you, but for now, good night

In our dreams, we will see you
this song I sing, is just for you
we'll always see you with the good times
we're always with you, but for now, goodnight

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, Sleep

Forget our dreams, but never you
this song I sing, a song for you
we're always see you when the sunshines
we'll soon be with you, but for now, goodnight……

[Dedicated to Suzi 03/1976 – 07/2001]

All The People

If you don't know me then you'll know me soon yeah
And if you don't like me then you know what to do yeah
Tell me if you think out of tune yeah
Then tell me something different and I'll sing something new yeah

And you know its hard to be something new
And you know its hard to be someone new

If you don't know it then you'll know it soon yeah
And if you don't like it then you know what to do yeah
Tell me if you think that I'm being rude yeah
Well yes I am different but I'm nothing new yeah

All the people everywhere with nothing to give and nothing to share
All the people everywhere with nothing to live for and no one to care
All the people everywhere with something to give and something to share
All the people everywhere with something to live for and someone to care

I'll run before I walk
sing before I'll talk
laugh before I cry
live before I die

==========================

Clear Blue Sky

Heres to the people with one thing left in their lives
I found comfort in a clear blue sky
I'm not touching clouds but I'm making ground all the time
I'm not touching clouds but i'm making sounds that I like

I hear the sounds but not the conversation
I'm walking round in one direction
I' see the ground and my reflection
and all around my clear blue sky
and when i'm down I will be high
see through the clouds my clear blue sky

Heres to the people with one thing teft in their lives
Heres to the people with nothing left in their lives

Everything I touch turns to stone
Everything I've loved has turned to stone
Tears in my eyes like blood from a stone
Diamonds are so clear but all they are is stone

See my life so clear, like a rolling stone
See my name so clear, its carved in stone
I can swim in the sea or sink like a stone
Diamonds are so clear but all they are is stone

Kick me down the street, just like a stone
Kick me I won't weep because I'm made of stone
I can think, I can see, it helps when I'm stoned
Diamonds are so clear but all they are is stone

Diamonds I hold dear, just like my stone

==========================

Feels Like Gold

Drunken mans speech, sober mans secret
Deaf man speaks and the blind man sees it
Old man dies with a young mans eyes
One mans peace is another mans fight

Feels like these shoes are getting old
Feels like these shoes are made of gold

I live in the future, cause that's where I'll die
No need worry you cannot stop time
Have you seen the world today
Have you seen the world today

I know nothing, and nothing's for free
No need to worry, you're always with me
The world is round but it's turning the wrong way
The world goes round but I'm walking the wrong way

Drunken mans speech, sober mans secret
Deaf man speaks and the blind man sees it
Old man dies with a young mans eyes
Poor man pays for the rich mans life

Feels like gold…

What people say don't mean a thing
What people say I can sing
The trouble is people like you
The trouble is you got something to loose
The trouble is you got something to prove

See me now I'm in the sky
The world is big and so is my mind
See me now I'm in the sky

What people think don't mean a thing
What people think I can sing
The trouble is people like you
The trouble is I got nothing to loose
The trouble is I got nothing to prove

I'll do what I want…

This world is just too small for me
It brings me down onto my knees
I'll take it all with my head held high
Cause after all I'm in the sky

This world is just too small for me
It brings me down onto my knees
I'll take it all and swallow my pride
Cause after all I'm in the sky

In to deep I'll sing you a song, a lullaby
In to deep you wanna run I want to fly
Happy, happy this is your song
Happy happy that its your song It wont go wrong
its your song it can't go wrong

In to deep I wanna live, you wanna die
In to deep you know I'm the one to make you cry
Happy, happy this is your song
Happy happy that its your song It wont go wrong
its your song it won't go wrong

She's beautiful, beautiful
She's beautiful, beautiful
She's beautiful, beautiful

In to deep I wanna run, you wanna hide
In to deep sing me a song, a lullaby
Happy, I'm happy this is your song
Happy I'm that its your song It wont go wrong
its your song it can't go wrong

Rainmaker

Say – I got something to say
Change – I got something to change
We're in the same boat, just sailing on different seas
We kick the same stones, just walking on different streets

Say – you got something to say
Change – you got something to change
We're living in hope, just hold onto different dreams
We're staying a float, just hold onto different tree's

Something in the air, there's something in the sky,
something underground, yes I am high, thorn in my mind girl, that's all love is / to me.

Say – we've got something to say
Change – we've got something to change
We're in the same boat, just sailing on different seas
We kick the same stones, just walking on different streets.

Yes I am the rainmaker, I'm gonna get you
Don't believe in the rainmaker, he won't believe in you
Don't you know that 1 and 1 is 2?
Don't you know that nothing compared to you?

Yes I saw the rainmaker and then I saw you
Don't believe in the rainmaker, he won't believe in you
Don't you know that 1 and 1 is 2?
Don't you know I'm singing this song for you?

Don't cry for the rainmaker - He won't cry for you!
Don't lie to the rainmaker - He won't lie to you!
Don't die for the rainmaker - He won't die for you!
Don't you know that 1 and 1 is 2?
Don't you know that nothing compared.

==========================

Rock & Roll

I know I can count on you
You let me down and you know its true
Feels like I been half way round the world
And I know I'm gonna do it again
And I know I'm gonna do it the same
Feels like I been half way round the world

Love don't live here no more
Love won't live hear no more

And when I/you/we've see the light and I/you think I'm alright
Its when I/you/we fall straight back down to earth
And when I/you,ve seen the light and I/you think I'm/you're alright
Its when I/you fall straight back down to earth

You know you can count on me
I'll let you down and I'll do it for free
Feels like I been half way round the world
And I know I'm gonna say it again
And I know I'm gonna say it the same
Feels like I been half way round the world

I hear more than I am told
I see more than I am shown
Live forever or just until I'm old
It does'nt matter its all just rock and roll
It's all just rock and roll

Shut me out but don't shut me in
I am the loser that always wins
Feels like I been half way round the world
And I know I'm gonna sing it again
And I know I'm gonna sing it the same
Feels like I been half way round the world

Shoot Me Down

Shoot me down, I don't care
Take me out, if you dare

And I never really knew…
Cause I want more than you can give
I want my life, I want to live
And I never really new
Cause I need more than you can give
I need my life, I need to live
And I never really new

Shoot me down, I don't care
Take me out, if you dare

And I think you know its true…
Cause I want more than you can give
I want my life, I want to live
And I think you know its true
Cause I need more than you can give
I need my life, I need to live
And I think you know its true

Listen to me yeah, you know what I mean
I'm tired of walking along these streets
So don't ask why am I living a lie when you
Live underground and I live in the sky
I know what I want and what I want is you
But you're to far away for me to touch you
So listen to me yeah, you know what I mean
I'm tired of crawling along these streets of shame
Streets of shame

Some Kind Of Lie

Heard a crazy story about a crazy land
I tried to listen but did'nt understand
Heard a crazy story about a crazy land
I had to get away but i was buried in sand

Don't know why
I don't know why
Don't know why
I don't know why…but I know its some kind of lie
I know its some kind of lie

Heard a crazy story about a crazy man
I did'nt really listen but now I understand
Heard a crazy story about a crazy man
I had to get away but I was running in sand

Someone, No-one

You know what I want to be
you know who I want to see, you know what, you know what I
no-one is the one for me
no-one got the best of me you're no-one
you're no-one to me

I have'nt really got a clue, I know not really what to do but I'm someone, no-one
You haven't really got a clue, you know not what you put me through/but this one is the one for you but you're someone

you're no-one today but I'm someone tonight
Broke but never lost at sea
Broke but its no cost to me, you broke me you broke me and
someone was the one for me, someone got the best of me, you're someone, you're someone to me

You're someone, you're no-one, someone who helped me on my way/left me yesterday
I'm someone, I'm no-one, someone you hear me everyday/you're with me everday...

==========================

Strings & Wood

Days like today, the sunlight is strange
The soul of a woman, the soul of a woman
Daylight today, the sun on my face
The soul of a woman, the soul of a woman

All I am is strings and wood all I need
All I need is strings and wood to be me
All I've got is strings and wood on me
All I need is strings and wood to be free
Free as a bird, I'm free as a bird…

Days like today, the sunlight is strange
A song for a woman, a song for a woman
Daylight today, the sun on my face
A song for a woman, a song for a woman

All I am is strings and wood believe me
All I need is strings and wood to be me
All You've got is strings and wood on me
All I need is strings and wood to be free
Free as a bird, I'm free as a bird…

The soul of a woman, a song for a woman

Nothings gonna change my world

The Devil Won

So how the devil is the devil in me?
he's doing fine but he still can't see
I'm back down my friend, in the dirt
I'm back down again, down-to-earth

So now I can fly and I didn't have to try
and now I have flown, I'm still all alone

So how the devil is the devil in you?
well nothing changes and nothings new
I'm back down again, and it hurts
I'm back down again, down-to-earth

So where's the drug that mean so much everyday,
every night the futures mine
So where's the drug that says so much everyday,
every night the futures mine

So now the devil is the devil in me, he's sleeping
now but he'll soon be free, I'm back down again
nothings worse, back down again, down-to-earth

The Junction

Loving – I love you all
Thinking – I think of you all
Don't run away if you can walk
Don't run with me, cause you will fall

I'm at the junction and I don't know what way to go
I'm at the junction and don't know what way is home
I'm at the junction and the sign said
‘you're on your own, but you're not alone'

Thanking – I thank you all
Drinking – I drink to you all
Don't run away if you can walk
Don't run with me, cause you will fall

I'm at the junction and I don't know what way to go
I'm at the junction and don't know what way is home
I'm at the junction and a man said
‘you're on your own, but you're not alone'

Well you win silver but I lose gold
It seems to me that it had to be told
That's the way I like it
Well you win silver but I lose gold
I seems to me that it had to be told
That's the way I fight it.

Loving – I love you all
Don't run with me, cause you will fall

The Lemon Tree

Today's the day that has no name…

Don't blow my mind, she won't blow my mind

Sitting down under the lemon tree, its bitter sweet said the bumble bee, and I knew, as she flew away

See how she grows, just like the rose, you will find me, with the bumble bee
See how she grows, just like the rose, you will find me, in the lemon tree

Lying down under the lemon tree, your doing nothing said the bumble bee, and I knew, as she flew away

Falling down under the lemon tree, I'm tired of waiting said the bumble bee and I knew as she flew away…

The Middle Of Nowhere

Believe me, said the joker to the fool
Believe me, if you jump you'll never fall
I don't mean an awful lot to me
I don't mean an awful lot to me

I'm in the middle of nowhere
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Lost in the middle of nowhere
Don't really care, I never really knew

Believe me, said the joker to the fool
Believe me, I will catch when you fall
I don't mean an awful lot to me
I don't mean an awful lot to me

I had a vision that you could'nt see
You're stuck in a prison where I used to be
I had a vision that you could'nt see
You're stuck in a prison I still go the key
I'm in a prison that you can't see
Its made of glass its where I want to be
I'm in a prison that you can't see
Its made of glass have you got the key?

This Songs Not Sad

Sailing across the sea, you know what it means to me
I'm going home, god knows I am home.
Flying across the sky, you know you'll never die
I'm going home, god knows I am home

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
You know this song remains the same
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

I'm singing it again, I'm walking just the same
as I see your face again, I'm happy once again.

Sailing across the sea, you know you're always with me
I'm going home, god knows I am home
Flying across the sky, you know you'll always be mine
I'm going home, god knows I am home

This songs not sad its just sung slow, nothing you can do and nowhere you can go, just listen
You wanna be like me, You wanna sing like me well there's nothing you can do, you've got your own shoes, just wear them
You wanna be like me, you wanna be free, well I'm breaking at the seams and dying in my dreams, just leave me
This songs not sad its just sung slow I'm burning down the bridge and putting up my own, just hold me… just hold me

This songs not sad, its just sung slow
I miss you so, I miss you so, I miss you so

Trinket Box

Trinket box you catch my eye
A beautiful thing with nothing inside
Don't know what I know but I think I know enough
Don't know what I know but I think I know too much

Bullet in your head and your soul is free
But now your dead – all apologies
Don't know what I said but I think I said enough
Don't know what I said but I think I said too much

No matter what I do it's never enough
No matter what I say it's never enough…for you

Trinket box will you break when you fall
Or just another case of the brick in the wall
Don't know what I've done but I think I've done enough
Don't know what I've done but I think I've done too much

Unknown People

Come On, Come On
How many people died for you?
How many people cried for you?
Blood red sea for you and me,
unknown people are never free

Oh no, Oh no
To Late, it's to late

How many people died for you?
How many people lied for you?
Blood red sea for you and me,
unknown people are never free

To Late, its to late
I'm with you, I'm with you.
