1.Emma
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
I was falling for some time
Passing others, as they'd climb
In a moment very clear
You seemed to beckon, come here dear
Emma, sure as the sun's shining on you
I can tell I'm in your spell
Emma you're the one, oh
If they ever change your mind
Try to leave it all behind
If there ever comes a time
You go your way, and I'll go mine
Emma, sure as the moon circles over
Heaven knows, that's how it goes
Emma you're the one, oh
I can tell I'm in your spell
Emma, you're the one, oh
Emma, Emma, Emma ...
2.Van Go Gan
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
From this day on, I'll watch the setting sun
As if it might be my last
And as I view the changing color hue
I see the long shadows pass
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Get a a grip, if you can
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Watch it slip through your hands
And through these eyes, all the starry skies
In my mind will explode
As I lie in my bed at night
I see my lifeline erode
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Grab ahold, if you can
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Something I understand
So much waiting, sentimental memories
Hesitating, maybe I'm just a wanna be
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Get a grip if you can
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Watch it slip through your hands
Van Go Gan, Van Go Gan
Something I understand
3.House Of Cards
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
There was a time I walked the earth
As if I knew my way
It seems the more I got around
The less I had to say
I built a world of tumbling dice
Upon a field of sand
And now the more I try to give
The more that you demand
So we wait, then discard, house of cards
I took a pane of broken glass
And made a diamond ring
For every single blade of grass
Mm, of thee I sing
Why we wait, hesitate, I don't know
Don't tell me 'bout your world coming apart
Should have known about you girl, right from the start
So we wait, to discard, house of cards
I'm walking down a lonely road
To the edge of town
If you try and change my mind
I won't turn around
Tell me why I should try once again
House of cards
4.Sunrise Sunset
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Sunrise sunset
Can't sleep can't forget
Thought I heard your footsteps
Coming home to me
Love comes, love grows
Sure as the wind blows
Like the single red rose
You will have your day
Now is the moment to come to your senses
Tear down the walls and set fire to the fences
Run away, run away
L.A. earthquake
Midnight ground shake
Somewhere in the heartache
There is hope you'll see
Now is the moment and now is forever
Now is the time it will all come together
Run, you gotta run
Once it was only a question of giving
Now we're destroying the life that we're living
Run, you gotta run
Run away, run away
You gotta run away, run away
Sunrise sunset
Can't sleep can't forget
Thought I heard your footsteps
Coming home to me
5.Goodbye Highway
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
In this world of lost horizons
Where your dreams burn fast
But your nights go slower
Ever find that you're compromising
All your hopes and fears
Just to get to know her
So you take a walk down the goodbye highway
The hello goodbye way
It's a long long road
Ever take a stroll down the goodbye highway
The some other time way
Try to ease your load
She was never one for social graces
And hangin' out with the midnight faces
Wore me out
I guess the thoughts of the nights alone
Or the time waiting for the telephone
Removed the doubt
So we took a ride down the goodbye highway
The hello goodbye way
It's the longest road
Soon you're fighting over the yours or my way
The do or die way's
The only way you know
So you stand up for the things that you're losing
Out on but it's all so confusing
You hold on but it slips right through your hands
Guess it's so long with a change of direction
Goodbye gotta make my connection
Solo, as you head on out the door, forever more
So you take a walk down the goodbye highway
The hello goodbye way
It's a one way road
Ever find yourself down the goodbye highway
The some other time way
Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go
6.One Day's Duning
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
One day's duning, Tuesday's dreams
The ever changing world
Interfering sights unseen
The never ending swirl
You are to me the only one
Go out and have your fun
Don't be surprised if the message you find
Changes all the things you do
Someone's drawing a lightning streak
Over my poor head
Someone else's floorboards creak
We might as well be dead
This is to me the only way
I guess you've had your say
Don't be confused if the wording you choose
Changes all the things you say
And the games you play
7.Only A Kid At Heart
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
There you are crying grown up tears
But they're coming from your childhood fears
I know you're only a kid at heart
In this world of compromise
Come over here and dry your eyes
Sometimes everything falls apart, I know
When you're only a kid at heart
From a childhood memory (my heart)
To a place we'll never see
Look what we've done
Once you were safe and warm
Now life's an endless storm
Always waking you in the dark
Now you're built of faith and fear
Trying to make it through the year
It's hard to figure out a place to start, I know
When you're only a kid at heart
From a childhood memory (you know my heart)
To a place we'll never see
Look what you've done
In the time it takes
Through each mistake
See what you've become
I know you're only a kid at heart
(I know you're only a kid at heart)
I know you're only a kid at heart
Started out as a bedtime story
Turned into a fight for glory
Sometimes it's hard to make your mark
When you're only a kid at heart
Hard to tell
Where the stories end
And nighttime dreams begin
When you're only a kid at heart
(I know you're only a kid at heart)
I know you're only a kid at heart
8.Playing God
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Give me all your money, any time I ask
Desperate situation, rally to the task
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God
Warm you till you can sleep at night
Somewhere in your memory
Lies the dormant seed
Pacify your guilt now, and satisfy my greed
Playing God, climb the golden ladder
Playing God
Warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Between the ether and the opium lies the land of no regret
Of what we are and what we might become
Are we walking on the water yet?
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God, warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Playing God, climb the golden ladder
Playing God
Playing God, shine in all his glory
Playing God, warm you up so you'll sleep at night
Playing God
9.International
Written:Benny Gallagher/Graham Lyle
Hey, Jesus hey it's me
Now I've gone international
And become very rational
As you decree
Hey, Jesus it's our day
Now I can bring them home to you
Though I may loose out on a few
Who care to stray
We'll make them see international
We'll make them be international
Like you and me
Hey, Jesus it's OK
Now we have common interests
And we can help along the rest
To be like we
We'll make them see internationl
We'll make them be international
Like you and me
We'll make them see internationl
We'll make them be international
Like you and me
Hey, Jesus you'll agree
They're going downhill very fast
And it don't look as though they'll last
Till judgement day
We'll make them see internationl
We'll make them be international
Like you and me
International, international, international, international
International, international, international, international

11.I Need You
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you ...
12.Now Sue
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
We are walking
We move mountains
We want you to want us
But what can we do
She sits alone as she sews
Pierce the grey valiant
I search for zero
Here lies what she wore
Guess I never had enough
Out with the blue book
Yes that I make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more, make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more, make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more
We are walking
We move mountains
We want you to want us
But what can we do
They sit in darkness as they sew
He who breaks the rules and there you are
Such a dark evening
Maker of what it ain't and is
May I ask no other guests
They are in belief that I lost their faith
The day that I arrived
Make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more, make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more, make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more, make up our minds
Now Sue it gets more and more
Now Sue, now Sue, now Sue, now Sue, Sue ...
13.Kiss Of Life
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
There will be no more confusion
There will be no more ball and chain
I will cease with the illusions
And I will ask of you the same
When you love someone
It's gonna take some time
Come on and save me, save me
Pull me from deep water
Give the kiss of life
Now is the moment treasured
Breathe the kiss of life
Into the words we speak, into the words we speak
And coming across the meadow
Like a slow moving train
Long determination
Will forever remain
When you love someone
It's gonna take some time
Come on and save me, save me
Pull me from deep water
Give the kiss of life
Now is the moment treasured
Breathe the kiss of life
Into the words we speak, into the words we speak
Give the kiss, give the kiss of life
Give the kiss, give the kiss of life
Save me ...

15.Till The Sun Comes Up Again
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Think I'll write a different song
Got a feeling it might take a long time
Singin' it over again, I can't recall just how it used to be
Voices across the sea
Mm, mm, mm.
Will she come to me, to keep me company
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Gotta take the good with the bad
Sometimes I wish I never had my say
Always goes that way, or is it just the way I feel today?
Voices across the way
Mm, mm, mm.
Will she come to me, to keep me company
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
Won't know till the sun comes up again
