WAVING AT THE GLOOM

 

WAVING AT THE GLOOM

WAITING FOR THE WEIGHT TO SHIFT

THE DARK GRAY CLOUDS TO LIFT

TAKE THE WIND

STILL THE NIGHT

THE MOON WILL SHINE

MY LOVE MY LIGHT

I THOUGHT YOU

MIGHT BE HERE TONIGHT

BUT I UNDERSTAND

SOMETIMES

THE THINGS WE PLAN

DON'T GO

QUITE THE WAY 

THEY SHOULD  

EVERYONE DOES WHAT

THEY THINK THEY COULD

 

SEE THE WAVES

COME CRASHING DOWN

I TRIED EVERYTHING

NOT TO DROWN

BUT I'M SINKING FAST

ANOTHER BREATH

BUT WILL IT

BE MY LAST

THE CRUSHING BLOW

BEFORE I GO

OR WILL I

COME UP FOR AIR

FIND MY LIFE

STILL THERE

A LITTLE WORSE FOR

THE WEAR

 

ITS GONNA TAKE

A LOT OF YOU

TO GET ME BACK

LIKE A NIGHT TRAIN

ON THE TRACK

FULL OF COAL DUST

ALL BLACK

THE ONLY TIME

 I'M SHINING 

FEELING NEW

IS WHEN I'M WITH YOU

THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS

AND I'M OVERDUE

I NEED YOUR LOVE

TO BE NEAR

WAVING TO THE GLOOM

WHILE PLANNING

MY ESCAPE

I'LL SEE YOU SOON

ITS GONNA TAKE 

A LOT OF YOU

 

 

 

WAIT FOR THE SUN

SOMEWHERE DEEP 

INSIDE YOUR SOUL

YOU'D FOLLOW

FILL ME

WITH SO MUCH AWE

STAND RIGHT BESIDE ME

STEP INTO MY WORLD

PLAY INTO MY HANDS

 

HEARTS ASIDE

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND 

LAY YOUR HAND

 IN MINE

WE'LL FIND A WAY

WE'LL MAKE IT

 A NIGHT

WE'LL MAKE IT

 A DAY

WAIT FOR THE SUN

TO COME OUT AND PLAY

I CAN TASTE

 YOUR LIPS

LIKE HEAVEN WAITING

AND YOU

ARE ALL I KNOW

INSIDE THIS TIME

THAT I MADE

THERE'S JUST

 YOU AND I

 

THE STORIES WE MAKE

PURE GOLD

NEVER TO BE TOLD

COMMITTED TO MEMORY

CONNECTED BY HEART

ITS SO NICE

TO BE THE REASON

YOU'RE HAPPY

THE REASON

YOU'RE IN LOVE

YOU WOULD 

FOLLOW ME

LIKE HEAVEN WAITING

WAITING FOR THE SUN 

BAREFOOT

 

BAREFOOT

BEFORE THE DAYS OF NOW

WATCHED THE SUN

COME AND GO

THE NIGHTS

WITH SKIES AGLOW

EYES LOST

IN THE STARS

HOLDING HER HAND

ALL MY HOPES WERE HIGH

HINGED UPON A MAYBE

SWEET LITTLE LADY

WILL SHE BE MINE

I'VE BEEN WAITING

TO FIND

SOMEONE MADE TO LOVE

 

BAREFOOT IN THE MEADOW

WITH FLOWERS

FOR HER HAIR

WALKING RUNNING LAUGHING 

BUT IN THE MORNING

WILL SHE STILL BE THERE

LAST LONG ENOUGH

TO SEE

THAT I STILL CARE

OR WILL IT END

WITH A BROKEN HEART

ALL OVER

BEFORE IT GETS TO START

WOULD LOVE BLOOM

IN RAINS OF SPRING

TIME WILL

TELL ME EVERYTHING 

 

BEFORE THE DAYS

OF NOW

LOST IN SUMMER HAZE

THERE I WALK ALONE

HOW FAR AWAY

HOW MUCH TIME

WILL IT TAKE

TO FIND

ANOTHER HEART

LIKE MINE

SEE THE EMOTIONS

FLY IN THE WIND

SUMMERS NEARLY OVER

AND HERE I AM AGAIN 

IN THE ARMS OF LOVE

 

IN THE ARMS OF LOVE

HELLO ITS ME

ITS BEEN AWHILE

ITS YOUR SMILE

THAT TOUCHES ME

YOUR BLUE EYES

MY DESTINY

 I DON'T MEAN TO

MAKE A FUSS

BUT WHEN ITS JUST

THE TWO OF US

HEAVENS 

NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE

YOU'RE WHAT I NEEDED

THE MOST

 

SO DEEP WITHIN MY HEART

ALWAYS ON MY MIND

ALL THE WISHES THAT I HAD

WERE GIVEN TO YOU

YOU ANSWERED EVERY ONE

ITS ALL I CAN DO

BUT ANSWER ALL

OF YOURS TOO

 

SO LONG 

THE TIME WITH YOU

THE BETTER

LIFE WILL BE

ITS JUST AS I THOUGHT

TRUE LOVE

SETS YOU FREE

 

IN THE ARMS OF LOVE

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE

YOU'D RATHER BE

THE STARS LOOK

 A LITTLE DIFFERENT

MAKE ME FEEL SO SMALL

IF THIS IS THE END

OF THE FIGHT

THE ONE TO END THEM ALL

EVERYTHING WORKED OUT

 ALRIGHT 

 

 

ALL THE WAY

 

ALL THE WAY

THE NIGHT TOOK HOLD

THE MOON STOOD STILL

BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH

TO BREAK MY WILL

NO

I'M GOING ON

I CAN'T STOP

UNTIL

I'M ALL THE WAY

WITH YOU

WHERE

JUST WITH YOU

 

TELL ME

WHEN WILL IT BE

SEEMS SO FAR

THAT I CAN'T SEE

THE OTHER SIDE

OF THE MORROW

IT COULD BE SO SWEET

IT COULD BE RIGHT NOW

MAKE YOU FEEL SO GOOD

MAKE YOU FEEL ALRIGHT

 FROM THE BEGINNING

TO THE END

GIVEN THE CHOICE

I WOULD DO IT ALL

WITH YOU AGAIN

 

MY LOVE FOR YOU

COULD NEVER DIE

I FEEL IT DEEP

WITHIN MY HEART

I COULD NEVER

 SAY GOODBYE 

I  CAN'T STOP

UNTIL

I'M ALL THE WAY

WITH YOU

ANYWHERE

WITH YOU

WILL DO

LIFE COMES SO FAST

YOU SEEM TO 

SLOW IT DOWN

MAKE IT STAND STILL

HOW COULD I EVER

GET MY FILL

I CAN'T STOP

UNTIL

 

LOOK BEHIND EVERY CLOUD

 

LOOK BEHIND EVERY CLOUD

CRYSTAL NIGHT

CLEAR AND BRIGHT

I TOOK

EVERY CHANCE

TO BE WITH YOU

AND SURE,  YOU DID TOO

EVERY ROAD I TOOK

I STAYED THE COURSE

UNTIL

I GOT THROUGH

 

IMAGINE THIS

AND IMAGINE THAT

AND SUDDENLY

THERE IT IS

IN YOUR LAP

SEE IT

DREAM IT

LOOK BEHIND

EVERY CLOUD

HAPPY EVEN STILL

SING IT

 IN A VOICE SO LOUD 

HERE'S THE THING

ABOUT BEING IN LOVE

YOU CAN SEE

BUT YOU CAN'T SEE

ALL THE THINGS

IN BETWEEN

IN A WORLD

WHERE

NOTHING IS SURE

ITS GOOD TO HEAR

A FAMILIAR VOICE

CALLING OUT

 YOUR NAME 

LOOK BEHIND

EVERY CLOUD

HAPPY

EVEN STILL

MOVING

IN FOR THE KILL

THERE'S EVERY REASON

TO BELIEVE

IN LOVE AND DREAMS

ENDLESS WHISPERS

EMBERS TO FLAME

A LITTLE WILD

THAT YOU CAN NEVER TAME

 

LOVE NEVER SLEEPS

 

LOVE NEVER SLEEPS

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

HERE, COMES

 THE DAYLIGHT 

SUNSHINE

LEFT AND RIGHT

HOLD YOU LIKE

I MEAN IT

AS SURE AS

SUNDAY MORNING

I DO 

ALL WE ARE TOGETHER

ALL THAT

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH

STRENGTHENED OUR RESOLVE

TO MAKE IT

BEAUTIFUL

AS IT CAN BE

ITS JUST LIKE THAT

WITH YOU AND ME

 

chorus

 

CLOSE YOUR EYES

AND FEEL IT

FILL YOUR MIND

WITH MANY DREAMS

ALL THE MORE

MOVES US CLOSER

OR THAT'S

 JUST HOW IT SEEMS 

LIKE A SILENT RIVER

RUNNING DEEP

I'M IN IT

LOVE

NEVER SLEEPS

IT FLOWS THROUGH

JUST BEYOND THE REACH

OF STARRY SKIES

AND IF I EVER

NEED A REASON 

I NEVER HAVE TO LOOK

 VERY FAR

BECAUSE ITS YOU

 

TELL YOU

THIS I KNOW

TO BE TRUE

AND AT THE CLOSE OF DAY

I NEED YOU

BY MY SIDE

TO CLOSE MY EYES

AND DREAM

SO MANY DREAMS

START AND END WITH 

YOUR SWEET LOVE

AS SURE AS

 THE WIND CRIES

 

 

I WON'T LET GO

 

I WON'T LET GO

THE DAY WAS SPENT

THE NIGHT STARTED

IT WENT TO

ADDING A MOON AND STARS

JUST A PAUSE

AND I'M DREAMING

WISHES NOW

ONLY YOU CAN FULFILL 

SWEET DREAMS

IF YOU DO

YOU WILL

 

chorus

 

I WON'T LET GO

I'M HANGING ON

WATCHING TIME

GO BY SO SLOW

AND FARAWAY FROM HERE

MY LOVES ALONE

SHE'S NOT NEAR

TO SEE

TO BE MY ONLY CONCERN

HELLO LONELY SUMMER

ONLY YOU CAN SAVE ME

EMBRACE ME

TOUCH UPON THE WILD

THAT CAPTURED MY HEART

 

THIS IS ALL SO NEW

I WOULDN'T KNOW

WHERE IT IS

THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO START 

WHEN ENOUGH TIME GOES BY

WE CAN LIE AGAIN

SIDE BY SIDE

I WON'T LET GO

I'M HANGING ON

WATCHING TIME

GO BY REAL SLOW

 

SWEEPING AWAY THE TIME

SITTING HERE

1:30 AM

LOOKING FOR

THE MOON IN THE SKY

GETTING READY

TO HEAD OUT

AND I DON'T KNOW

HOW IT IS

I'M STILL GOING

BUT

I THINK I KNOW WHY

MAYBE ITS ALL

JUST FOR YOU

IF YOU EVER NOTICE

THE LOVE THAT LIES SLEEPING

BESIDE YOU

 chorus:

SWEEPING AWAY THE TIME

THE SAND IS RUNNING OUT

MAYBE ITS TIME FOR YOU

TO CAST AWAY YOUR DOUBT 

TO COME AROUND

LOVE IS KIND OR CRUEL

LOVE IS STRAIGHT UP

OR BENT

LOVE IS ALL

ITS NEVER SPENT

SHINES RIGHT THROUGH

TO THE END

GIVE A LITTLE

TAKE A LITTLE

MAKE YOU SMILE

YOU KNOW WHAT DRIVES ME

THE EXTRA MILE

 

LOVE LIKE RAIN

I FEEL IT GROWING

AGAIN AND AGAIN 

ALL THE ROADS

THAT LEAD ME AWAY

ALSO BRING ME BACK HOME

SO DON'T YOU

MAKE ME FEEL 

THAT I'M ALONE 

SWEEPING TIME AWAY

OFF TO THE SIDE

THE SAND IS RUNNING OUT

CARRIED WITH THE TIDE

 

Desolation

 

DESOLATION

NO ONE EVER KNOWS

HOW DESOLATION GROWS

NO ONE CAN FIND ME

IN THIS DARK CONFINE

THIS ABYSS

LOST IN TIME

IN THIS SILENT SPACE

THIS VACUUM  THIS VOID

I TRIED SO HARD

TO AVOID

CHOICES CHANCES

THEY ARE FEW

WITH ONLY BLACKNESS

FOR A VIEW

THE TIMES THAT I RECALL

PASSED BY SO FAST

IT DIDN'T SEEM SO

AT THE TIME

BUT I GUESS THEY WEREN'T 

DESIGNED

TO LAST

HOW WILL I EVER FIND

THE KIND OF

PEACE OF MIND

I'VE BEEN DREAMING

WHILE I'M CAUGHT HERE

IN THIS FORSAKEN PLACE

BRING BACK THE SMILE

THAT WAS ON MY FACE

LET ME FLY

A PHOENIX RISING

ANOTHER TIME

TAKE FLIGHT

DELIGHT

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG

ONLY I WAS THERE

TO LIFT ME

HIGH ON A PRAYER

AWAY FROM

 DESOLATION'S HOLD

I'VE BEEN DREAMING

IN THE COLD

 

 

 

WE'D BE THERE

 

 

WE'D BE THERE

I SAW A SKY

FILLED WITH STARS  

I SAW A WORLD

FILLED WITH PROMISE

I SAW A WORLD

SHAPED BY LOVE AND WAR

FREEDOM COSTS SO MUCH

THAT'S WHY WE HOLD IT DEAR

PEOPLE HAD SO MUCH SOUL

WHERE DID ALL THAT GO

IT SEEMS ITS CLOSE TO GONE

 

 TIME IS ROLLING ON

CLOSING IN

AND IF WE HAD 

TO GO THROUGH

ALL THAT AGAIN

WE'D BE THERE

SOMEONES GOT TO CARE

HIT THEM 

UNTIL THEY FALL

THEY NEVER SHOULD OF GOT

THIS FAR AT ALL

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED

HOW GOOD

 IS LEFT BEHIND

THE EVIL THAT TAKES HOLD

GIVEN TIME

WREST IT AWAY

FROM THEIR GREEDY HANDS

PUT AN END

TO THEIR POISONED PLANS

 

TAKE THE TORCH IN HAND

YOU CAN LIGHT THE WAY

FORWARD FROM HERE

ALL FOR GOOD

THE WAY IS CLEAR NOW

LET LOVE BE

AS IT SHOULD

YOU SHOULD BE

COMING AROUND

IT MATTERS

 WHERE YOU LAND

TRADE ALL THE BAD

 FOR GOOD 

LOVE IS THERE TO FIND

TAKE A LITTLE TIME

LOOK WHERE 

THE SUN SHINES

TIME IS ROLLING ON
