Secret Love
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're down here in tears

I am not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
We're already paying the price

But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we already passed it, I cried
Ooohee...
Listen to me
My secret love secretly.... died

Come on it's time to go outside
Cause I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that world alone
When I know that you're down here in tears

I am not asking salvation from you
I'm just asking to be saved for awhile
In a timeless search for love that might work
Still we're already paying the price

But you need some rest
Darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee..
Listen to me
My secret love secretly...died
Oh, you need some rest
Oh, you need some rest
My darling, it's best
Ooh...
My secret love secretly...secretly died

For What It's Worth

I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew,
but no one said a word,
It was contagious

Looked out the window, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was, you saved my life
I won't forget it

You said, "Even if I left my girlfriend,
Packed up my stuff, loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what its worth"

I got to love, I rode the rails
You came with me because you cared
I was broke and I was scared
You held my hand, took away my fear
We knew it couldn't last, and that was hard
We looked out the windows, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was, you saved my life
I won't forget it

You said, "Even if I left my girlfriend,
Packed up my stuff, loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
And came through your door
For what its worth"

I got to sing, I got to dance
I got to be a part of a great romance
Still forbidden, still outrageous
Only a few around us knew,
but no one said a word,
It was contagious

We looked out the windows, we watched the cars fly by
I look at you and I start to cry
What you did was, you saved my life
I won't forget it

You said, "Even if I left my girlfriend,
Packed up my stuff, loaded up my car
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Came through your door
For what its worth

(repeat)

For what its worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

In Your Dreams
Every night you
You tell me everything
Is gonna be fine
You calm my nerves when
You hold my hands
Yeah, it feels so fine

I'm just at the other end of your night
I'm always in and out of your life
I'm right down the middle of all your dreams
In your dreams

Every night you
You love to hear me sing
It's gonna be fine
You calm my fear down
It's not a problem
No need to cry

I'm just at the other end of your night
I'm always in and out of your life
Right down the middle of all your dreams
In your dreams

Are those tears necessary
For all that pain that you carry?
You just wipe those tears away
Come in out of the darkness
It's a beautiful day

I'm just at the other end of your night
I'm always in and out of your life
Right down the middle of all your dreams
In your dreams

I'm wishing your wish
I'm wishing my wish
Is gonna come true
I'm just a dreamer
Storyteller
It's all about you

I'm just at the other end of your night
I'm always in and out of your life
I'm right down the middle of all your dreams
In your dreams

I'm just at the end of you rnight
I'm always in and out of your life
I'm right down th emiddle of all your dreams
Ooo, in your dreams
In your dreams
Oh in your dreams

Wide Sargasso Sea
In the beginning, she was stunning and pure.
When he first saw her, he faded to the floor.
She was distant and arrogant from the start.
She did not see the fragile state of his heart.
She fell in love with him on that very day.
She became softer in every way.

Even though they were so in love,
they drew a line in the sand--
just because--
they did not know each other,
they did not trust.
The only thing they did together
was to make love.

So paradise found was not paradise to him.
Oh, yes, he loved her, but he was still an Englishman.
The tropical birds and the heat and the ocean
only drove him crazy, drove her away from him.

Even though . . .

She burned his house down
saying, "you may have forgotten me,
but you'll remember this.
You fell to the ground when you saw this:
my face, my eyes, my lips.
You may have forgotten me,
but you'll never forget that kiss."

Even though . . .

And that big house burned down all around her.
In the smoke and the fire,
in the devastation they never found her.
She went back into her red dress,
back to her white house, to her ocean.
And after that no words were spoken
about the two of them, ever again.

Even though . . .

New Orleans
In the city of dreams lies the cities ghost

There's a beginning, there's a middle and an end
In this city we reach out for the middle ground
We throw a great party, so hard to start to mend
We forget - at least we try

In the midst of the sea of dreams lies a perfect storm
In the sea of tears lies a city ghost
In the spirit of the morning glow
THe people hope that their lives will get better
The people hope that their lives will get better

I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quartier
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by the vampires
And go on down Bourbon St

I see a sea of smiles, I see a haunted city reaching out
I see hope in all their faces, behind the mask of marti gras
Where the good and the righteous walk, and the wicked as well

I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quartier
I wanna dress up, ooh yeah
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go down bourbon St
Go on down bourbon st

Within these rooms, I go up to my balcony
I hang the paintings on the wall
And I open up my gallery, and I open up my doors
I stare at the city, I stare at my city

I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quartier
I wanna dress up, ooh yeah
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go down bourbon St
Go on down bourbon st

I wanna get back to New Orleans
I wanna sing out in the streets of the French Quartier
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go down Bourbon St.
Go on down Bourbon St.
Go on down Bourbon St.
Go on down
Go on down
Go on down
Go on down Bourbon St

In the city of tears lies a city ghost

Moonlight (courtesy of TakenByTheSky23)
Some call her strange lady from the mountains
And others say she’s not really real...
Like a candle burns bright, it wants to burn faster
But maybe then at least she really feels...
Burning like the candle...
In the middle...

She’s lonely…lost…she’s disconnected
She finds no comfort in her surroundings
Beautiful…insecure…she has nothing
She moves from situation to situation like a ghost
Then she sees him…candle burning…

Strange…she runs with the one she can’t keep up with
Ooh, it’s so strange
He slows down, so desperate to stop her
Meet her in the middle...
They both run from the one who hunts them
They drop to the forest floor…frozen
They drop to the forest floor…frozen

He loves her….but he needs his life alone as well
But does he know the road or the reasons why
If he leaves her, he’ll be losing the chance to stay alive
But the candle burns bright then the candle dies
Burning from the middle…just like a candle

Strange…she runs with the one she can’t keep up with
Oooh, it’s so strange
He slows down, so desperate to stop her
They meet in the middle
They both run from the one who hunts them
They drop to the forest floor…frozen
They drop to the forest floor…frozen

Strange…he’s laying on the floor in silent pain
She sat in the floor for months just staring
She knows too much to walk away
She couldn’t do it any way
Strange…she’s laying on the floor in silent pain
She sat in the floor for months just staring
She knows too much to walk away
She couldn’t do it any way...

He slows down…he slows down…
He slows down…she couldn’t do it…
She couldn’t do it…

Annabel Lee
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Edgar Allan Poe

Soldier's Angel
I am a soldier's angel, through the eyes of a soldier
Through the eyes of a soldier I am a soldier's mother
Through the eyes of an angel I am a soldier myself
And no one walks away from this battle

I'm a soldier myself in the presence of angels
I am a soldier's widow in the background at night
I am a ghostly shadow as I follow close behind them
I try to push them gently back into the light
I am a soldier's angel four years later
In a war of words between worlds
About what is wrong, 'bout what is righteous
I am a soldier's girl

I am a soldier's memory as I write down these words
I try to write their stories and explain them to the world
I float through the halls of the hospitals, I am a soldier's nurse
I keep the tears inside and put them down in verse

I'm a soldier's angel four years later
In a war of words between worlds, mmm
About what is wrong, and about what is righteous
I am a soldier's girl

I am a soldier's girlfriend as I look upon their faces
They make remember my first love, and going out to dances
They make me remember Camelot and being young and taking chances
They make me fall in love again, they give me all the answers

I'm a soldier's angel four years later
In a war of words between worlds, mmm
About what is wrong, 'bout what is righteous
I am a soldier's girl

I'm a soldier in their army
They are the soldier's of my heart
I try to make them smile again
Though it tears me apart

Their bravery leaves me spellbound
I try to be a small part
Of bringing them back
They are the soldier's of my heart

I'm a soldier's angel four years later
In a war of words between worlds, mmm
About what is wrong, 'bout what is righteous
I am a soldier's girl

I'm a soldier's angel, through the eyes of a soldier
Through the eyes of a soldier, I'm a soldier's mother
Through the eyes of an angel, I'm a soldier myself
No one walks away from this battle

Everybody Loves You

She was so enticed by his smile
She was so unaffected by his dream
For his dream of her was just not possible
She was so not that girl

It was just one of those things that happened
But didn't happen
A strand of golden hair, tangled
Like the words of a song, like a spiders web

Then he said

Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
No one really knows you
I'm the only one

She was so enchanted by his voice
She was shaken by his words
His plan for her was just not possible
She had no words

It isn't just fair
We cause each other such pain
Everywhere we go now
At home or on stage
Sometimes it was heavenly
Sometimes it was too heavy
I looked the other way

Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
No one really knows you
I'm the only one

Don't come here again
Unless fear of fire leaves you cold
And the cold leaves you tired
If you fear at all
It's all about desire
About when you were true
About a bird on the wire
And that was you

She does still hear him
The same song over and over
It heals her heart
No voice of a stranger
Could play that part
He broke her heart, he broke her heart

Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home

Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
No one really knows you
I'm the only one

Ghosts Are Gone
What happened to her? I thought she was here
In the eyes of love, I saw her through her tears
I saw her expire, I was her move on
Like a ghost through the fog
The ghost is gone

What happened to them? I thought it was here
Through the eyes of a child after all these years
He wasn't true, he wasn't clear
Oh, no not even to his song
The ghosts are gone

Gone are the ghosts
Gone is the lost word
Too crazy to change
But never forgotten
Gone are the lost girls
Gone are the boss girls (?)
Gone
The girls went home

What happened to them? They opened their doors
They walked right through, they knew they were wrnog

There is only sadness
The boys are gone

Gone are the ghosts
Gone is the lost word
Too crazy to change
But never forgotten
Gone are the lost girls
Gone are the boss girls (?)
Gone
The girls went home

What happened to him? I thought he was here
Through the eyes of love, I saw him through his tears
I saw him smile, I saw him move on
Like a ghost through the fog, a ghost through the fog
Close to the fog
The ghosts are gone

I saw him smile, I saw him move on
Through the eyes of a child I saw him disappear
He wasn't clear, not even to his song
The ghost is gone
The ghosts are gone

Ghosts are gone
______
Like a ghost through the fog
Like a ghost through the fog
Like a golden rainbow
Like a golden rainbow

You May Be The One
You may be the one but you'll never be the one
You think you understand but you don't understand
You may be my love but you'll be my love
You may take my hand, you who demand so much

And then, there was the kiss
Right out there in the universe
How did that happen?
No it could not happen worse
You forget yourself
it could not happen worse
You broke my heart, broke my heart

I used to love you, see the light inside fo you
I used to dream that you were an angel
You were an angel, and I was a starving child

You may have a question, but you'll never answer to me
You may have a goodness somewhere but you'll never let me see
You may be the righteous one but it won't be right for me
How it's lasted so long, it's a mystery to me

I used to love you, see the light inside of you
I used to dream that you were an angel
You were an angel, I was starving child

You may cry the tears, but the tears aren't really for me
You say it's taken years, years of regret and pain
Forget me not, says I'm so afraid
Says there's no fear in your eyes
Tell me another lie

I hear the islands calling, I hear angry words
Flying across the ocean, lots of seabirds
Never stopping, I feel my blood racing
Can't beleive what you are saying

I used to love you so much

I used to love you, see the light inside of you
I used to dream that you were an angel
I used to love you, see the light inside you
I used to dream that you were an angel
I used to love you, see the light inside you
I used to dream that you were an angel
You were an angel, and I was a starving child
And we were magic.

Italian Summer
The rose stood up, red against the golden wall
Sun comes through the silken drapes, the moon begins to glow
All in cream colored ivory, soft yellow say hello
Pretend the guitar handed me a rose

At the end of the Italian summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
Wind blows right through you
and tears you apart
Ooh, it's so romantic
Hey, it's so soulfull
Rain falls down and the thunder rolls

The sun fades out and the mountains grow tall
Mists rush in and they take it all
And the islands you see Li Galli and Capri
I remember it all
Love where was everywhere
You just had to fall

At the end of the italian summer
Rains fasta nd it rains hard
The wind blows right through you
Tears you apart
Ooh, it's so romantic
Hey, it's so soulful
Rain falls down and the thunder rolls

At the end of the Italian summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
The wind blows right through you
Tears you apart
Oh, it's so romantic
Hey, it's so soulful
Rain falls down and the thunder rolls

At the end of the Italian summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
The wind blows right through you
It tears you apart
Oh, it's so romantic
Hey, it's so soulful
Rain falls down and the thunder rolls

The sun fades out and the mountains grow tall
And the mists rush in and they take it all
And the islands you see Li Galli and Capri
I remember it all
You just had to fall

Cheaper Than Free
What's cheaper than free?
You and me
What's better then alone?
Going home
What does money not buy?
You and I
What's not to feel?
When love is real

What's faster then a fast car?
A beating heart
What's deeper then a deep well?
The love into which I fell
More important then freedom?
Being needed
More exciting then high fashion?
High passion

What's brighter then a smile
You child, You child
What's brighter then a smile
You child, You child
You child, You child

What's warmer then a sun drenched land?
Your hand
Your hand
Your hand
