Down This Road

Do you think of me when you’re lying in bed
And you’re looking at the ceiling
Does my perfume linger when I’m gone?
Is there any passion left?
Is it deep in your heart?

Are we taking the long way around the mountain
Instead of straight up?
Obstacles will always be there to confuse us
And there are no shortcuts
Is there any passion left?
Is it deep in my heart?

Down this road I go, I’m looking for some answers
My motives are pure; at least that’s what I hope
Down this road I wander; I’m trying to smell the roses
A little taste of the world that I’m living in

Like forked lightning the road winds before me
But I’ll take my time
It’s you and me together on this lifelong journey
I’ll sure we’ll take it in stride
But is there any passion left?
Is it deep in our hearts?

REPEAT CHORUS

Searching for that wide eyed wonder
And those cloud nine feelings once again
But there’s too many faces and too many places
Too many hills to climb
I think I need some time….

REPEAT CHORUS

Close Window

In Retrospect

Is it a coincidence and a little bit scary
That we met when the chips were down
We used to be so happy, but the fact is…
We met when we were on the rebound…

Hindsight’s 20/20, that’s what you used to say
This déjà vu of you has got me feeling weary
And some things never change
There’s nothing else left to say except

In retrospect I would never have laid
Eyes on you
In retrospect I would never have
Loved you, no no no

You think I’m just another Nobody
Trying to be a Somebody
But who the hell are you these days?
Your words might sting but I don’t give a damn
Besides, who the hell are you to say?

REPEAT CHORUS

I’m very sorry to burst your bubble
But you’ve got to practice what you preach
Sure, I’m a few years older now
But I’m a little bit wiser too
My future is so much brighter
Now that it doesn’t involve you
At least I’m somebody who matters to me
I’m a Somebody who wants to be Nobody but me

REPEAT CHORUS

In hindsight I wouldn’t have needed you
I’ve gotten this far on my own
In retaliation I desert you

Lost in a Dream

And I said hey….
I close my eyes and drift away to a misty cloud
of silver-grey
Floating by, rising above milky white moonlight rays
Adventure calling out to me, in vivid color glittering imagery
Taking me in the wheel of fate turns, I feel the burn
Don’t pinch me, ‘cause you know I’m dreaming of you…

And I said hey.... I’m lost in a dream
Don’t know what it means
And I say Hey...I’m lost in a dream
But it’s not what it seems

I’d like to stay right here where everything is so surreal
Dancing around, upside down
What message will this dream reveal?
Subconsciously yearning
My mind keeps on turning ‘round this reverie
Is destiny calling, reality falling at my feet?

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Lost in a dream
I’ve been hanging on the edge of night
Don’t want to wake up this time
‘Cause staying in this dream’s just fine
I’m lost in dreams of you and I...
Lost in dreams of you and I....
Hey…..

(REPEAT CHORUS)

It’s haunting me

And I said Hey......

Close Window

I Still Do

This morning I awoke without you by my side
Thoughts of us were racing through my mind
I know you had to leave, and I was prepared
But not having you with me leaves me cold and scared
Scared of what the future has in store for me
Now that I’m alone and so unhappy

Do you think of me when you fall asleep?
Do you dream of me late at night?
Do you still feel the love that was so deep?
Do you not see how it was so right?
‘Cause I do.............................I still do

The days & nights seem much longer now
But I get by, although I don’t know how
Are you going through the same thing too?
‘Cause my world ended with that goodbye from you
Every song I hear, every couple’s kiss
Reminds me of us; why did we end it like this?

REPEAT CHORUS

I still do even though you don't
I still do even if you won't
Yes I do......there's just no getting over you

REPEAT CHORUS OUT

Just for Tonight

Too much to do in too little time
I’m falling behind again and I don’t know why
Gotta pick myself up off the ground
And wipe the dust from my eyes
Before life completely passes me by
Procrastination is my best friend
Why do it all today when there’s always tomorrow?

We’re going half a million miles an hour
In this game of life
There’s not enough time in a day
I promise to do it all/get to it but not right now
It’s time to relax; gonna punch out
Just for tonight

Daytimers and To Do lists
Gotta do the laundry and the shopping and pay the bills
Technology has given us much
But there’s a price to pay
Gotta read the manual on that but just not today
Procrastination is my middle name
Why do it all today when there’s always tomorrow?

REPEAT CHORUS

I just remembered
What I was supposed to have done yesterday
Gotta get out of bed and write it down
On my never-ending list before I forget

REPEAT CHORUS

We’re going half a million miles an hour
In this game of life
It’s time to relax…just for tonight

Close Window

Are You Listening?

Whispering water, what am I waiting for?
I think I’ll choose the prize behind the third door
No looking back, got to take my lucky chance
In life’s kaleidoscope of circumstance

Whispering wind, what can you tell me?
I’m free to live my life, that much I can see
But where do I go from here, what path will I take?
‘Cause this choice is one that I should make
River of life, where are you taking me?
Tell me if this is where I’m meant to be....

Are.... you listening?
Are.... you listening to me

I thought of you just the other day
As I searched with fire to find my way
‘Cause you’re exactly where you want to be
The universe says “there’s no guarantees”
River of life, where is my destiny?
Tell me if this where I’m meant to be...

Are... you listening?
Where... do I belong?
Are... you listening to me?
What if I’m right; what if I’m wrong?

A voice inside says
“You make your own luck
It’s free will versus destiny”
I see the sign but I’m like a fool in the dark
It’s not telling me anything
And this river flows into the great big sea
I’m but a raindrop floating in the ocean
What will anchor me?

REPEAT CHORUS OUT

Close Window

All I Need

In my lonely bedroom shadows dance across the wall
I close my eyes, asleep I fall
I’d give my soul for just one single moment with you
We danced the night away one starry night in June
I didn’t think you’d have to leave so soon
But that fateful day came and went and so did you
But I can picture your face so clearly
It’s all I see in my dreams…

And all I need is you
And your everlasting love to see me through
The love we share comes once in a blue moon
Yeah…all I need is you….
You don’t know what it’s like to miss your smile
My heart is reaching out for your touch
I didn’t think I’d in a million years miss you so much

Time trickles by like hourglass sand
Counting the moments till I see you again
When will the clouds finally part
When will the sun ever shine?
But I can picture your face so clearly
It’s all I see in my dreams…

REPEAT CHORUS

Our love connection transcends words
One look can give it all away
But I hope your mind is filled with thoughts of me
As you’re heading home on the highway
‘Cause you’re in my dreams, in my heart, and in my soul….

REPEAT CHORUS

All I need is you; you’re all I need
All I need is you
Yeah….All I need is you…

Full Moon on a Friday Night

Well it's Friday night, quarter to nine
I'm pulling up to the bar to see who's inside
Can barely see through all of the smoke & the haze
I really hope I’m in the right place

I got my best outfit on & I'm in a good mood
The crowd's laughing and dancing and drowning in booze
They know how to party it up and have fun
The night has only begun

It’s a full moon on a Friday night
I’m feeling good; I’m feeling all right
Yeah, it’s a full moon on a Friday night

Gotta take a break & cool right down
Say hi to my friends and make my rounds
Mingling with everyone in the bar
‘Til it’s time for the stage, time to be a star

Lights blinding my eyes and smoke in the air
I hear the crowd vaguely but I can’t see who’s there
Electric guitars rocking loud behind me
The night’s almost over, it’s hard to believe

REPEAT CHORUS

My time on stage has ended now
Our set’s complete as I take a bow
But the crowd is cheering for us to stay
So one more song is what we’ll play
It’s time to go and end this evening’s show

Clink of glasses, the crowd raises a cheer
An old man slumped over asleep in his beer
He's got a room upstairs in the sixties hotel
And you know, it’s just as well

The show is over, it’s half past two
Want to drag my ass home and sleep till noon
I’m worn right out but I’ve got to tear down
Gotta pack my things and leave this town

REPEAT CHORUS OUT

Let's Talk About Love

Come a little closer, honey, don't be shy
You make me wild, you make me high on life
Don't want to whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Just want to tell you about our love I hold so dear

Let's talk about love, love, love, sweet sweet love
Let's talk about all the things that you've been dreaming of

Our caramel kisses, oh so divine
Our precious passion, it tastes as sweet as wine
I'm floating higher; I'm drunk with desire
You turn me on; you really light my fire

What more is there to say
I wanna be with you every single day
Oh, please tell me you'll stay for the night
We'll make love till the early morning light...

Let's talk about love, love, love, sweet sweet love
Let's talk about all the things that you've been dreaming of
Let's talk intimately, heart to heart
If you don't know how, it's time you ought to start

Close Window

I

I try and I don't know why but I'm going around in circles
I cry that nothing ever turns out the way I want in life
I feel that things should change for me and for the better
I care that people are staring back at me, yeah

Should I close the door to what I already know and fear at times
Or should I walk out and open the door to a brand new life?

I, I.... La da da...
I, I...

I fear that I don't know what I'm doing at all times
I think that I really ought to change the frequency, yeah
I see all the pristine possibilities in life
I hope that I can make the best of it, yeah

I'm independent, I'm introspective, I am sensitive
And I'm always changing my mind
I'm superstitious, a little mysterious, yes I am serious
I'm always changing, I.....

I'm sensual, I'm spiritual, I am a loyal, unique individual
I'm musical, I'm mystical, I'm lovable....oh....I

Close Window

I Believe

I was lost, but I knew one day you'd find me
Like an angel you led me to security
You said, "Close your eyes" and I put my faith and trust in you
I was by your side and I left the past behind because

I believe... I believe in heaven above
And all the love that you've been showing me...

Our paths have led us down a road of ecstasy
There's a place where love has no boundary
So follow me and I'll show you to our future
Side by side, where we'll forever be

I believe... I believe in heaven above
And all the love that you've been showing me
I believe... I believe in our love
For all eternity

When will you open up your eyes enough to clearly see\
How our love is meant to be

So have you opened up your eyes enough to clearly see
How our love will last eternally... Oh...

I believe... I believe in heaven above
And all the love that you've been showing me
I believe... I believe... in our love...

I Believe...

Heaven Knows

Stars dancing across the deep twilight
Goddess moon shines overhead at night
Gazing up to the heavens we delight
So why should we fight?

I, I can see the stars in your eyes
Just soar like an eagle and fly...
Heaven, heaven knows what's really on your mind
Let's live in the moment and you'll find...heaven knows

Hopes and dreams beckon and whisper in your ear
Echoed in the nighttime, so crystal-clear
Mysterious path of your fate draws you near
So why should you fear?

Yes all your dreams can come true
If you only look deep inside yourself, yeah
Take each day as a chance to really fly...

'Cause I, I can see the stars in your eyes
And now you're soaring through the skies
Heaven, heaven knows what your destiny will be
Just reach for the stars and live your life as it's meant to be
You'll soon see
You'll achieve your dream
Heaven knows...

Close Window

Honestly

There's no love lost between us, but I'm still treading in my tears
I tried my very best to make it work throughout all these years
The bold decision that I had to make was much too much for you to bear
So you break my heart and set me free and leave me dangling in despair

Oh, honestly, the wave of silence
The cool defiance in me
Oh, honestly, the vast confusion
The cruel illusion

I see I know I can't keep on riding this tidal wave of unhappiness
For how can we reduce what we had, to fabricated friendship?
I truly want you to be happy, even if it's not with me
But how can I be truly happy knowing we're not meant to be?

What remains is a faded memory of the laughter that we shared
Despite all the loneliness I feel something tells me you still care
Oh, honestly...
Oh, honestly...

Oh, honestly, the wave of silence
The cool defiance in me
Oh, honestly, the circumstances
The cruel, harsh reality
Oh, honestly...
