1.A Thing About You

I pick up the phone
I'm dialing your number
while I pray you're at home,
at home and alone
'cause I can't function on my own
And I'll never stop believing

The repent REAPING is done
You are the one
The radio is on but the sound is off gone
And I wanna walk out in the sun
But lately that's been very hard to do

I've got a thing about you
And I don't really know what to do
'cause I've got a thing about you
Hey you

I pick up the phone
I'm dialling DIALING that number and
my heart like a stone
waits for the tone
Oh I can't make it on my own
And I'll never stop believing

I know what is right and this is so wrong
Alone in my bed, better off on my own
The TV is on but the colours are gone
And lately you've been painting my world blue

I've got a thing about you
(I've got a thing about you)
And I don't really care what you do
I've got a thing about you
(I've got a thing about you)
Hey you

I've got a thing about you
I've got a thing about you-ou-ou-ou

Lately you've been painting my world blue

I've got a thing about you
(I've got a thing about you)
And I don't really know what to do
I've got a thing about you
Hoping this story cuts through
(this story cuts through)
Yea, I've got a thing about you
A thing about you

I've got a thing about you
I've got a thing about you-ou-ou-ou
And I don't really know what to do


2.It Must Have Been Love

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away

It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
>From the moment we touched till the time had run out

Make believing, we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I've turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away

It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now

I'ts where the water flows, its where the wind blows

It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but its over now
From the moment we touched till the time had run out

Yeah it must have been love ..


3.Listen To Your Heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes yea
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide yea
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart...

And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.


4.Fading Like A Flower(Every Time You Leave)

in a time
where the sun descends alone,
i ran a long long way from home
to find a heart that's made of stone.

i will try,
i just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.

every time i see you oh i try to hide away
but when we meet it seems i can't let go.
every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a
flower.

tell me why?
when i scream there's no reply,
when i reach out there's nothing to find,
when i sleep i break down and cry.

every time i see you...

fading like a rose,
fading like a rose,
beaten by the storm,
talking to myself,

getting washed by the rain,
it's such a cold cold town.


5.Spending My Time

what's the time?
seems it's already morning.
i see the sky,
it's so beautiful and blue.
the tv's on but the only thing showing
is a picture of you.

oh i get up and make myself some coffee.
i try to read a bit
but the story's too thin.
i thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
in this shape i'm in.

spending my time,
watching the days go by.
feeling so small,
i stare at the wall,
hoping that you
think of me too.
i'm spending my time.

i try to call
but i don't know what to tell you.
i leave a kiss on your answering machine.
oh help me please,
is there someone who can make me
wake up from this dream?

spending my time...

my friends keep telling me:
hey, life will go on,
time will make sure il get over you.
this silly game of love -
you play, you win only to lose.

i spending my time,
watching the days go by.
feeling so small,
i stare at the wall,
hoping that you
will think of me too.

i'm spending my time,
watching the sun go down.
i fall asleep to the sound
of 'tears of a clown,'
a prayer gone blind.

i'm spending my time.


6.Queen Of Rain

In that big big house there are fifty doors and one of
them leads to your heart.
In the time of spring I passed your gate and tried to
make a start.
All I knew was the scent of sea and dew
but I've been in love before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

In that big old house there are fifty beds and one of
them leads to your soul.
It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats, regrets and
sheets so cold.
All I knew your eyes so velvet blue,
I've been in love before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

It's time to place your bets in life,
I've played the loser's game of life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky, fly fly
away, bye bye.


7.Almost Unreal

Babe, come in from the cold
and put that coat to rest.
Step inside, take a deep breath
and do what you do best.
Yeah, kick off them shoes
and leave those city streets.
I do believe, love came our way,
and fate did arrange for us to meet

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch, you got the power to heal
You give me that look, it's almost unreal...
it's almost unreal

Hey, we can't stop the rain.
Let's find a place by the fire.
Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems,
you've been in my dreams all my life

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch, you got the power to heal
You give me that look, it's almost unreal...
it's almost unreal.

It's a crazy world out there.
Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight

Oh, I love when you do that hocus pocus to me
The way that you look, you got the power to heal
You give me that look, it's almost unreal...
it's almost unreal


8.Crash! Boom! Bang!

my papa told me to stay out of trouble
'when you've found your man make sure he's for real'
i've learned that nothing really lasts forever
i sleep with the scars i wear that won't heal
they won't heal

cos every time i seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
i find the heart but then i hit the wall
crash! boom! bang!
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the
same

i'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
i pass by the houses and blocks i once knew
my mama told me not to mess with sorrow
but i always did and lord i still do
i'm still breaking the rules
i kick it up
i kick it down

cos every time i seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
i find the heart but then i hit the wall
crash! boom! bang!
that's my real middle-name
it has always been the same
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the
same

i still feel the heat
slowly fallin' from the sky
and the taste of the kissing
shattered by rain
comin' tumblin' from behind
and the wild holy war
i kick it up
i kick it down

and every time i seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
i find the roses dying on the floor
crash! boom! bang!
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the
same
that's my real middle-name
it has always been the same
oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh
been the same been the same
it has always been the same


9.Vulnerable

everywhere i look i see her smile
her absent minded eyes
and she has kept me wondering for so long
how this thing could go wrong
it seems to me that we are both the same
playing the same game
but as darkness falls this true love falls apart
into a riddle of her heart

she's so vulnerable like china in my hands
she's so vulnerable and i don't understand
i could never hurt the one i love
she's all i've got
but she's so vulnerable
oh so vulnerable

days like these no one should be alone
no heart should hide away
her touch is gently conquering my mind
there's nothing words can say
she's coloured all the secrets of my soul
i've whispered all my dreams
but just as night-time falls this vision falls apart
into a riddle of her heart yea

she's so vulnerable like china in my hands
she's so vulnerable and i don't understand
i could never hurt someone i love
she's all i've got
but she's so vulnerable
oh so vulnerable
don't hide your eyes...


10.You Don't Understand Me

I've been up all night, you've been puttin' up a
fight.
Seems like nothin' I say gets through.
How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.
We said 'Goodnight' but the silence was so thick
you could cut it with a knife.
We've hit the wall again and there's nothin' I can do.

You're the one, yea, I've put all my trust in your
hands.
C'mon and look in my eyes, here I am, here I am

You don't understand me, my baby.
You don't seem to know that I need you so much.
You don't understand me, my feelings,
the reason I'm breathin', my love

The mornin' comes and you're reaching out for me
just like everything's the same
and I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close,
do you wonder who's inside?
Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.
Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am

You don't understand me...

You don't seem to get me, my baby.
You don't really see that I live for your touch.
You don't understand me, my dreams or the things I
believe in, my love.
You don't understand me. You don't understand me.
Understand me.


11.Wish I Could Fly

halfway thru the night
i wake up in a dream
echoes in my head
make every whisper turn into a scream

i dreamed i could fly
out in the blue
over this town
followin' you
over the trees
subways and cars
i'd try to find out who you really are

in the middle of the night
cool
sweatin' in my bed
got the windows open wide
thinkin' about all the things you said

i wish i could fly
out in the blue
over this town
followin' you
i'd fly over rooftops
the great boulevards
to try to find out
who you really are
who you really are

i wish i could fly now
i wish i could fly now
i wish i could fly around and around
over this town
the dirt on the ground
i'd follow your course
of doors left ajar
to try to find out
who you really are
who you really are

i'd fly & fly & fly
i wish i could fly
i wake up in a dream
(background : in the middle of the night / in
the.....etc)
in the middle of the night
i wish i could fly
i wish i could fly


12.Anyone

Anyone who have a love close to this
Knows what I'm saying
Anyone who wants a dream to come true
Knows how I'm feeling

All I can think of is you and me
Doing the things I wanna do
All I imagine is heaven on earth
I know it's you

Anyone who ever kissed in the rain
Knows the whole meaning
Anyone who ever stood in the light
Needs no explaining

But everything more or less
Appears so meaningless
Blue and cold
Walking alone through the afternoon traffic
I miss you so

Anyone who felt like I do
Anyone who wasn't ready to fall
Anyone who loved like I do
Knows it never really happens at all
It's over when it's over
What can I do about it
Now that it's over

-instrumental break-

Everything more or less
Is looking so meaningless
And fades to grey
Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops
I float away

Oh Anyone who felt like I do
Anyone who wasn't ready to fall
Anyone who loved like I do
Knows it never really happens at all
It's over when it's over
What can I do about it
Oh now that it's over

Hey Baby

Anyone who felt like I do
Oh anyone who wasn't ready to fall
Oh anyone who loved like I do
Knows it never really happens at all
It's over when it's over
What can I do about it
Now , now it's all over
It's all over baby - ohhh

Anyone
Anyone
Anyone who loved like I do............


13.Salvation

i can barely remember my past
everything seems to disappear so fast
but i recall being jealous and alone
gazing at the dreams going by

i started my life when you knocked on the door
found something inside i didn't dare to ignore
now i do believe in flowers on the moon
i'll swim beside the golden tide

you
crashed by the gate
captured my fate
salvation
my eyes couldn't see
i hardly breathed
i was diving so deep
salvation

i'm down in the study holding on to my luck
will you still love me when i call you up?
i gave you my body, the power over me
come on, bring out the best in me

you crashed by the gate
captured my fate
salvation
my eyes couldn't see
i hardly breathed
my heart was asleep
salvation

some will get broken
others will get lucky like me meeting you
don't pass me by

you crashed by the gate
captured my fate
salvation
my eyes couldn't see
i hardly breathed
i was down on my knees
salvation

some will get broken
others will get lucky like me meeting you
don't pass me by
don't pass me by

i found salvation, oh yea
you bring me salvation
i found salvation


14.Milk and Toast and Honey

Milk and toast and honey make it sunny on a rainy
Saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness out of
days you hate, you
really hate
Slow morning news pass me by
I try not to analyse but didn't he blow my mind this
time
Didn't he blow my mind

(Here he comes)
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the hurt inside is everything that
matters to me
Is everything I want in life

Milk and toast and honey
Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so clear and
feel so near
The dreams I dream, my favourite wishful thinkin'
Oh he's bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True love might fall from the sky
You never know what to find but didn't he blow my mind
this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(Here he comes)
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the pain inside is everything that
matters to me
Is everything I want in life
(Here he comes)
Oh lay a little lovin', baby
To feel you're gettin' close to me is everything that
matters to me
Is everywhere I want to be
