WATCHING THE TIME

SLIP AWAY

 

ANOTHER WINTERS DAY

STARTING AGAIN

COLD AND GRAY

LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW

WISHING I

DIDN'T HAVE TO GO

I COULD STAY HOME

WRITE A POEM

PLAY SOME GUITAR

LAY REAL LOW

 

REALITY KNOCKS HARDER

BREAKS THE SPELL

NOW I KNOW

ITS TIME TO GO

THERE'S NO MORE TIME

TO DREAM

REACHING LOFTY HEIGHTS

WHERE DREAMS OFT TAKE FLIGHT

THERE'S NO REASON

YOU SHOULDN'T FLY

NO EXCUSE NOT TO BELIEVE

YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO TRY

 

THE DARK COMES OUT

TO MEET THE LIGHT

DISAPPEARS INTO THE SNOW

ON A COLD WINTERS NIGHT

MOONLESS AND MOODY

A DARK PLACE TO BE

A CASTLE MADE OF ICE

ANOTHER MYSTERY

THESE WORDS ARE

 FROM A SAGE

THESE TIMES TOO

 SHALL PASS

FROM THIS TO THAT

NOTHING EVER LASTS

THESE WORDS I UNDERSTAND

KEEP COMING BACK

 TO HAUNT ME 

CATCH ME

 WATCHING THE TIME

SLIP AWAY

ANOTHER WINTERS DAY

STARTING AGAIN

COLD AND GRAY

 

 

TURN

 

TURN

WHEN YOU LAY YOUR HEAD

DOWN TO SLEEP

WITH THE STARS

DANCING ABOVE YOU

THE MOONLIGHT

ON YOUR FACE

LIKE A SOFT KISS

FROM A SUMMER NIGHT

LIKE A STAR

SOFTLY BURNING

ALREADY IN MY MIND

TURNING

DEEP IN MY HEART

THERE'S A PLACE

YOU HAVE FOUND

TURNING

TO YOU

 

chorus

 

COME TO LIFE

SPARK TO FLAME

I UNDERSTAND

IF ITS ALL THE SAME

WE CAN MAKE IT TURN

THERE'S NOTHING MORE

I'D RATHER DO

WAKE THE SUN

TO SEE IT

COME TO YOU

SIT BESIDE

GET INSIDE

YOUR HEART

WERE YOU AWAKE

FROM THE START

YOU ALWAYS KNEW

THINGS COULD TURN

 

WHEN THE SUNSET FADES

BRINGING STARS

TO LIGHT

SHINING ON ME

SAVE ME TONIGHT

EVERY MOVE

EVERY WORD

COMES DOWN TO LOVE

THAT'S JUST YOUR WAY

ALL DAYS NOT TOO LONG

GIVE ME EVERY ONE

BEFORE THEIR ALL GONE

EACH ONES A GIFT

YOU TURN YOU BACK

YOU DRIFT

 

LET IT GO FOR NEW

 

LET IT GO FOR NEW

 CASTING WISHES

ON DIAMOND WAVES

SUMMER SUN

AND SOMEONE

YOU PUT ABOVE THE REST

YOU'RE TRYING TO

 DO YOUR BEST

AT LOVE

SEEING MYSELF

IN YOUR LIGHT

LEADS ME FARTHER

INTO YOUR HEART

JUST ANOTHER PLACE

I CAN START

TO BUILD ONTO

TO BE BETTER

AT WHAT I DO

KEEP THE PACE

MAKE IT ALL THE WAY

THROUGH

WITH YOU

I DON'T WANT TO FINISH

WITHOUT YOU

 

 chorus

 

WE TRAVELLED 

SO MANY ROADS

WE CARRIED

SO MUCH

WE CHERISHED

SO MUCH

THEN LET IT GO

FOR NEW

KIND OF WHAT

WE'VE ALWAYS DONE

KIND OF WHAT 

WE DO

 

THE SKY TURNED GRAY

WE LOOKED ON

IN DISMAY

THE SNOW DID FLY

DRIFTED HIGH

BUT WE PUSHED THROUGH

TOGETHER

WE ALWAYS DID

SO WE ALWAYS SHOULD

 

KISS YOU IN THE RAIN

I CANNOT REFRAIN

I  CAN'T BACK AWAY

I'M HERE

INSIDE YOUR HEART

TO STAY

BETTER AT WHAT I DO

LET IT GO FOR NEW

BUT NEVER YOU

 

 

THE FUEL THE SPARK

THE SUN SPENT

ITS LAST RAYS

STAINING THE SKY

COLOURS SWIRLING

PINK PURPLE

RED AND BLUE

GET UP COME ON

SMILE

DON'T LET IT FADE

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN

MORE A PART OF THIS

THE ONE THAT HOLDS

WHEN EVERYONE ELSE FOLDS

 

chorus

 

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE

THAT LIGHTS UP A ROOM IN DARK

THE FUEL

THE SPARK

BURNING OUT OF CONTROL

BUT DON'T PUT ME OUT

YOU'D PUT OUT MY SOUL

SOMEHOW YOU JUST KNOW

THE SWEETEST TIMES

ARE NOW

MAKE IT

FADED DENIM BLUE

CAN YOU HEAR ME

AM I COMING THROUGH

 

LOVE IS NEVER WASTED TIME

YOURS GOES SO WELL

WITH MINE

I DON'T LIKE TO SEE YOU CRYING

I SELDOM DO

AM I COMING THROUGH

THE MOON IS MOVING

ACROSS THE SKY

CUTTING THROUGH THE STARS

AND AS THEIR FALLING

I'M STILL FALLING FOR YOU

NOTHING I CAN STOP

NOTHING I CAN DO 

DEEP INSIDE MY DREAMS

 

DEEP INSIDE MY DREAMS

 

WRITTEN BY

TELL YOU SOMETHING

I KNOW YOU NEVER KNEW

TELL YOU A SECRET

A DREAM FROM A WISH

THAT ENDS WITH YOU

AND ALL THE THINGS I

WOULD AND WOULDN'T DO

BECOME A BLUR

START TO BLEND

YOU WERE ALWAYS

SOMETHING MORE

THAN A FRIEND

 

chorus

YOUR HEART ALWAYS OPEN

I LOOKED IN AND FELL

HARD DEEP

COULDN'T EAT

COULDN'T SLEEP

YOU COULD SAY

I'VE GOT IT BAD

THE NEED THE DESIRE

WON'T GO AWAY

LIKE THE SUMMER SUN BURNING

LIKE A FALLING STAR

I'D ALWAYS FIND YOU

EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE

DEEP INSIDE MY DREAMS

CAN YOU STILL TELL

 

 I DON'T NEED YOU

TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND

ITS ALL THERE

IN BLACK AND WHITE

PART OF THE MASTER PLAN

YOU WERE PART OF ME

BEFORE YOU EVER KNEW

BY THE TIME MY LOVE

SURROUNDED YOU

YOU WERE ALL MINE

 

 

 

 

 

IT ALL CAME TRUE

 

IT ALL CAME TRUE

HERE IT IS AGAIN

ITS COMING THROUGH

GRAVITATING TO LIFE

HANGING ON DEAR

WHAT I FEAR 

IS BEHIND ME

THE CLOUDS CLEARED OUT

THE SUN RODE HIGH

THEN IT SANK LEAVING

ONLY EVENING SKY

JUST YOU AND I

BENEATH THE STARS

chorus

LOVING LAUGHING

MAGIC ON

STAYS AROUND

STICKS TO US LIKE GLUE

EVERYTHING YOU SAID

IT ALL CAME TRUE

AND IT KEEPS ON COMING

GOOD THINGS WITH YOU

YOU STAY GROUNDED

I'LL KEEP DREAMING

I THINK I SHOULD

ITS BECAUSE OF YOU

I CAN

I COULD

 

AND WHEN I HEAR THAT DOOR OPEN

AND I'M SURE ITS YOU

MY SPIRIT 

STARTS TO RISE

LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW

MAGIC ON

STAYS AROUND

 

 

STREAKS OF SILVER

I'LL TAKE YOU

DOWN TO SEE

THE RIVER

BY THE TREES

A BLANKET 

AND A PICNIC

A WARM SUMMER BREEZE

WATCH THE SUN

CLIMB THE MOUNTAINS

HEAR THE BIRDS

SING THEIR SONGS

GET REAL CLOSE

GET INSPIRED 

FEEL THE LOVE

THAT GROWS

 

chorus

 

IT FLOWS

JUST LIKE THE RIVER

NEVER ENDING

CRYSTAL IN THE SUNLIGHT

STREAKS OF SILVER

BENEATH THE MOON

ALL THESE STARS

IN YOUR EYES

JUST REMIND ME

OF WHO I AM

THE REASON I'M HERE

BECOMES INCREASINGLY CLEAR

AS THESE DAYS GO BY

DON'T EVEN HAVE TO

ASK YOU WHY

WHEN YOU'RE NEAR

WHEN YOU'RE NEAR

 

IF I REACH OUT

AND I CAN'T FIND YOU

ITS JUST THAT I

REMEMBER

LONELY DAYS

LONELY NIGHTS

IN THE CITY

A LITTLE  LIGHT

TO MARK MY TIME

WASN'T THERE

I GUESS THAT YOU 

WEREN'T READY 

HADN'T REALLY

MADE UP YOUR MIND

IT WASN'T TIME YET

FOR YOU AND I

 

IT ALL ENDS HAPPY 

IT FLOWS..

  

ONLY SILENCE NOW

 

 

ONLY SILENCE NOW

 

WRITTEN BY

I FELT IT IN THE AIR

I SAW IT IN THE SKY

A WARM BREEZE BLOWING

PASSING ME BY

I PAUSE THERE TO REFLECT

WITH UTMOST RESPECT

TO ALL THE DREAMS

THAT SURROUND ME

 

I HEAR THE EMPTY ROAD 

CALLING ME

I DRIVE OFF

INTO THE STARS

NO REAL PLACE TO GO

I'M JUST GOING, BECAUSE 

NO TIME TO GAZE AT THE MOON

AND EVER AFTERS

TOO SOON

 

WHERE'S THE LAUGHTER

THERE'S ONLY SILENCE NOW

THE DETAILS BLURRED BY TIME

I HARDLY KNOW

I'M ALIVE

WITHOUT YOU

DARKNESS FALLS

FADING OUT

BLACK INSIDE

LOOKING FOR A LIGHT

SAY THAT

YOU MIGHT KNOW

WHERE I CAN FIND

PEACE OF MIND ANEW

THE BEST PLACE

WAS ALWAYS YOU

 

ITS ME

CALLING OUT

CAN YOU HELP ME

THERE'S ONLY

 SILENCE NOW

THE DETAILS 

BLURRED BY TIME 

BUT STILL

THEY'RE IN MY MIND
