Paradise Lost
03:57

You crack me up
Make me laugh
Make me cry
Enjoy each moment
Of this precious time
The world keeps saying
Be patient with love
No stress to break us
Where would we be now?
And I don’t want to fall
With you in my arms
If paradise is lost
Where to now?
Nobody’s listening
Nobody knows
How much we’re missing
Down below
And I don’t want to fall
With you in my arms
My love for you right now
Is all that you need
I want to wake with you
Not just in my mind
I want to talk to you
In the sunshine
You don’t want to fall
With me in your arms
Your love for me right now
Is all you can give
And I don’t wanna die
With regrets in my life
Best to let it go
When we’re feeling high

Seagull

The streets are empty
Everything is closed
And the night-time is waking
Where does everybody go?
So many lonely hearts broken
Broken in the night
Roaming the streets to find
Some warmth from someone else’s fire
I’m drawing breath again
From the sights that I see
I’m breaking down again
From the news that I read
And the shops are opening
People busying around
But there are the few of us
who didn’t sleep at all last night
Give a little help you say
Give a little cash today
To those who are less
Fortunate
But it doesn’t work that way
Doesn’t work that way, you know
I’m drawing breath again
from the sights that I see
I’m breaking down again
from the news that I read
I’m drawing breath again
from the sights that I see
I’m breaking down again
from the news that I read

Just For You
02:58
|
|||
|
Have I been dumb letting you go?
Wasting your time didn’t you know?
Sometimes I scream, sometimes I shout
And I say things I don’t really mean
And this time I spent with you
Made me happy and made me sad too
But it’s time I spent with you
Time I spent with you
And I can change too
And I can change too
Over these weeks I realised
I don’t understand and I’m in disguise
of what I really feel
of what I really feel
And I can change too
And I can change too
And I can change too
Just For You
And I can change too
And I can change too
And I can change too
Just For You
Just For You
Just For You

When the summer nights have gone
I’m on my own again,
The winter days begun
My mind is on the run
No sight of you again
And now the leaves are falling
The short dark days are calling
You’ll be going home
As the summer sun draws close to fade
It’s cold while I sleep
And now the leaves are falling
The short dark days are calling
You’ll be going home
All the flowers are closing
The thoughts of you unfolding
You’ll be flying home
You’ll be flying home
Home
You’ll be flying home
Home
My life’s gone away
It’s cold where you laid
My life’s gone away
It’s cold where you laid
My life’s gone away
It’s cold while I sleep
It’s cold where you laid

Say Goodbye
04:13
|
|||
|
Gradually I feel
Getting to know you well
As the daylight comes
As the daylight falls
Somehow we see
No matter how we feel
If it all breaks down
Will you be standing by me?
Don’t want to fall in love
again and again
Just want to let you go and
numb the pain
We have to say goodbye and
Just be friends
Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing
Gradually I feel
Getting to know you well
As the walls break down
And the daylight comes
Don’t want to fall in love
again and again
Just want to let you go and
numb the pain
We have to say goodbye and
Just be friends
Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing
Been around
And been around
And been around
And been around
Again and again
Again and again
I hit the wall again
Again and again
Again and again
Don’t want to fall in love
Again and again
Just want to let you go and
Numb the pain
We have to say goodbye and
Just be friends
Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing
Don’t want to fall in love
Again and again
Just want to let you go and
Numb the pain
We have to say goodbye and
Just be friends
Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing

Maybe I
04:33
|
|||
|
Wished you goodbye
On that lonely night
I remember
Your head in your hands
Looking down
Time apart
Is what you said to me
Just for a while I feel.
Could it be that I can’t decide on anything?
Maybe I just need some time to myself
Babe you’re the best
The Best for me
There’s no doubt
How lucky I feel
Maybe I, maybe I’m afraid I’ll get used to you
Getting used to you, means I might lose you too
Could it be that I can’t decide on anything?
Maybe I just need some time to myself
Could it be that I can’t decide on anything?
Maybe I just need some time to myself
To myself
To myself
To myself
Myself
Myself
To myself

Bluebell

All I want is to lie with you
In the Bluebells beneath the trees
Stay up through the night
Keep warm by your side
Fall asleep beneath the stars
Only wanna be close to you
Cos you’re the best thing in my life
Only wanna be close to you
Cos you’re the best thing in my life
You’re a superman and I’m a one-woman band
But somehow we work it out
Never in the same place at the same time
But that depends on a state of mind
Thinking of you too
Only wanna be close to you
Cos you’re the best thing in my life
Only wanna be close to you
Cos you’re the best thing in my life
You’re the best thing in my life
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Only wanna be close to you
Cos you’re the best thing in my life
Only wanna be close to you
Cos you’re the best thing in my life
The best thing baby yeah
In my life
In my life
In my life
In my life yeah
You’re the best thing
In my life
You’re the best thing
In my life

I Sit & Hide
05:53
|
|||
|
I sit & hide
In this empty shell of mine
Cracking by the fire
Bound by you
And only time
Will make me understand
Why there’s so few like you and me
Tonight I cried
For the first time
How weak you are
Not too shine
And as I fall into these empty arms
As I fall into these empty arms of you
Lost within this space
Only by what I think I know
It’s not too late
To face all your fears
The winds are calling the rain
The rain is coming down
Fly with me
Won’t you get high with me
Cos my mind is broken by
The unrequited sound of you
Tonight I cried
For the first time
How weak you are
Not too shine
And as I fall into these empty arms
And as I fall into these empty arms of you
Lost within this space
Only by what I think I know
I know
About what I think I know
I know
I know
I know

Insight
04:07
|

|
And in this time of confusion
I’m feeling my way through the dark
Keep asking the same questions
Does anyone know the secret to my heart?
And is it all an illusion?
The voices in my head
I listened to the words of a poet
What I really needed was an action man instead
What if we met in another place and time?
No more dreaming
Just want some peace of mind
And I made no judgment of you
But I made a fool of myself
Believing that feeling and intuition
Was enough
And I hope you’ll forgive me
But I made no joke of you
I underestimated the importance of being cool
What if we met in another place and time?
No more dreaming
Just want some peace of mind
What if you are here with me now?
Only blue sky not a cloud insight
Insight
Insight
Insight
What if we met in another place and time?
No more dreaming
Just want some peace of mind
What if you are here with me now?
Only blue sky not a cloud insight
Insight
Insight
Insight
Gonna turn it around
Upside down
Gonna turn it around
Upside down
Gonna turn it around
Upside down

Paper Thin
03:32
|
|||
|
Broken down
This time around
Words are so paper thin
Every word
You speak you mean
But what about everything in between
I’m out of love
Taking it slowly
Getting closer
Missing me
I can feel
There’s no use communicating
Its confusing me
Sometimes we need to be alone
So that we can grow
So that we can grow
I’m out of love
Taking it slowly
Getting closer
I’m out of love
Taking it slowly
Getting closer
I’m out of love
Taking it slowly
Getting closer
Falling again
Falling again
Taking it slowly
Getting closer
Falling again
Falling again
