Finding Myself Lost Again


I find myself, a little bewitched by you
I find myself, a little begulied
I find my friends repeating your name
Then I find myself doing the same


Chorus:
Finding myself lost again
Finding myself lost again
losing myself by what I find
Finding myself loosing my mind


I praise myself, for having made a life alone
I praise myself, for working so hard
I give my praise where praise is due
I’m swapping that praise in praise of you


Finding myself lost again
Finding myself lost again
losing myself by what I find
Finding myself loosing my mind


It seems that I have taken quite a shine to you
And its seems that I’m in a mood to seduce
It seems that you have read my mind
Must be that we’re the loosing kind


Finding myself lost again
Finding myself lost again
losing myself by what I find
Finding myself loosing my
Finding myself loosing my
Finding myself loosing my mind

Only A Womans Heart

Chorus:
My heart is low, My heart is so low,
As only a woman’s heart can be
As only a woman’s, as only a woman’s
As only a woman’s heart can know


The tears that drip
From my bewildered eyes
Taste of bittersweet romance
You’re still in my hopes
You’re still on my mind
A even though I manage on my own.


Chorus
When restless eyes
Reveal my troubled soul
And memories flood my weary heart
I mourn for my dreams
I mourn for my wasted love
And while I know that I’ll survive alone


Chorus x 2

Apologise

He use to send her flowers
To apologise, to apologise
He used to say how sorry he was
And flash his smile, he’d flash his smile
And always she’d forgive him
‘Cause he’d mean it for a while
And then he’d send her flowers
To apologise, to apologise


It wasn’t that he meant her harm
I realise, I realise
It’s just that life had taken him
By surprise, by surprise
At times he knew he’d failed her
At times he really tried
When times were worst he did his best
To compromise, to comprise


I told her once he’d break her heart
But that wasn’t true, wasn’t true
‘Cause broken things can be repaired
And held onto, held onto
But her heart had been shattered
The pieces lay inside
In fragments much to tiny
To recognise, to recognise


I look now at the weariness
That lies in his eyes, in his eyes
And who an I to lay the blame
Or criticize, or criticize
He’s sorry that he’s living
He’s sorry he’s alive
He’s sorry of the need
To apologise, to apologise


He’s sorry of the need
To apologise, to apologise

Boundaries Of Your Mind


Save a little of your energy
Spend a little of your time with me
What is it that holds you here to me?
You must be moved by something that you see
Strains of magic in the moonlight hours
Render useless all your earthly powers
Souvenirs of childhood haunt your face
It must be that they’ve fallen from your grace


And the rage burns inside
Like a cage, thats open wide
Empty now but once it held
The boundaries of your mind
Privacy and loneliness
They overlap sometimes, sometimes


Subtleties betray you everywhere
That’s a secret you forgot to share
Like how auburn still brings out your guilty streak
And seemingly it adds to your mystique
Moody silhouettes you soon replace
With swarmps of passersby that flood your space
Your superficial scars you can conceal
There are others left with wounds that will not heal


And the rage burns inside
Like a cage, thats open wide
Empty now but once it held
The boundaries of your mind
Privacy and loneliness
They overlap sometimes
Empty now but once it held
The boundaries of your mind
Privacy and loneliness
They overlap sometimes


And the rage burns inside
Like a cage, thats open wide
Empty now but once it held
The boundaries of your mind
Privacy and loneliness
They overlap sometimes


Save a little of your energy
Spend a little of your time with me
What is it that holds you here to me?

For You

For you, for you
The moments I steal
You Know they don’t heal
The way I feel for you
For you, for you
The things that I say
They give it away
The way I feel for you


You know I need your precious time
To keep me going
To keep me going and to stop it from showing
And you know I need you by my side
To keep me hoping and to stop me from knowing
That someday in someway
I’ll make you fall for me
And sometimes I’ll make you mine
And make you feel for me
The way I feel…


For you, for you
The moments I steal
You Know they don’t heal
The way I feel for you
For you, for you
The things that I say
They give it away
The way I feel for you


You know I feel alone these days
I’m thinking about you
I’m thinking about you, I’m dying without you
You know it’s more than a passing phase
Been too long without you
I’ve been too long without you, crying about you
But someday in someway
I’ll make you fall for me
And sometime I’ll make you mine
And make you feel for me,
The way I feel…


For you, for you
The moments I steal
You Know they don’t heal
The way I feel for you
For you, for you
The things that I say
They give it away
The way I feel for you

Go Now

Forget your things
I’ll send them on to you
All your letters
I’ll see that you get them too
I’ll make sure that you’ll recieve
Messages that your friends leave
But please now, leave now
I’ll call you later on


Go now go now, before my tears begin to spill
Oh, won’t you go now, before they flood my face
For I have not much time you see
Except what pride that’s left to me so
Go now, go now, before I lose that too


Leave the talking
‘Till some future time ahead
The analysing
That’s really better left unsaid
But may be you could be the one to
Tell our friends what we have done
But please now, leave now
And shut the door behind


Go now go now, before my tears begin to spill
Oh, won’t you go now, before they flood my face
For I have not much time you see
Except what pride that’s left to me so
Goo now, go now, before I lose that too

It’s Mine

I’m out of my league
I’ve done it again
Can never tell where, can never tell when
Just when I swore,
I’d had enough
Electricity’s flying and I’m lit up
And I know And I know And I know
I know I’ve been through this before
Here I go, here I go, here I go
Here I go again, You’re on my mind


I want to feel you put your hands through my hair
I want to feel a little fun in the air, we can share
All I need is just a piece of you time
And well maybe a bottle of wine
If it’s early we can go on the town
If you want to we can stay at home and just settle down
Either way I need a piece of your time
And it’s mine, And it’s mine, And it’s mine


They’re widening their eyes
They’re looking askance
They’re saying is this some new romance?
Others are claiming
They knew all along
“You could tell there was something going on”
And they know And they know And they know
They know it’s none of their concern
There they go, there they go, there they go
There they go again, but we don’t mind


I want to feel you put your hands through my hair
I want to feel a little fun in the air, we can share
All I need is just a piece of you time
And well maybe a bottle of wine
If it’s early we can go on the town
If you want to we can stay at home and just settle down
Either way I need a piece of your time
And it’s mine And it’s mine And it’s mine


And it’s mine yeah
And I really want it to be
‘Cause you’re fine yeah
Yeah you’re fine with me, with me


You hear what I’m saying loud and clear
You hear what I’m saying when I’m not even near
Now don’t you flit with me like that
My heart’s already thumping
‘Cause you know, yes you know, yes you know
You know how wild you’re driving me
There you go, there you go, there you go
There you go again, but never mind


I want to feel you put your hands through my hair
I want to feel a little fun in the air, we can share
All I need is just a piece of you time
And a bottle of Beaujolais wine
If it’s early we can go on the town
If you want to we can stay at home and just settle down
Either way I need a piece of your time
And it’s mine And it’s mine And it’s mine

Not Quite Love

It isn’t quite love
it isn’t quite romance
But what ever it is
It’s worth a chance
And if we close our eyes
We can always pretend
If it’s not love,
That’s not the end


It isn’t quite love
I cannot deny
But still here it is
It’s worth a try
And if I expected more
Life doesn’t work that way
So if it’s not love
That’s quite okay.


How often have we cried, for love that died
Our tumbled pride on the floor
So let’s take care, of our affair
And let’s not dare ask for more


It isn’t quite love
it isn’t quite romance
Still, here it is
It’s got to be worth a chance
Let’s close our eyes
Let’s pretend
It’s not quite love,
You’re quite a friend


It’s not quite love
But it’s worth a chance

Promises We Keep

Sleeping close in sweetness
Intimate in doubt
A little piece of rope around
To stop us falling out
And through the closed curtains
A copper coloured light
And wine glasses
From last night


Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
I feel so broken
Feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel….


Cigarette smoke drifting up
To hanging plants behind
Particles of honesty
And tenderness entwined
Things with you are different now
And I can feel the strain
What is it that protects you from this pain?


Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
I feel so broken
Feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel….


With the days that lie ahead me
I’m hungry to remain
Still I know it’s best to go
‘Cause nothing’s going to change
Eyes that held so much for me
Are holding things from me now
Like the harmonies
That life will not allow


Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
I feel so broken
Feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel……….

Music Of It All

The white light on the water
The changes in you and your attitude
But the changes that I see are no surprise to me
Cause you’re worthiness is empty
Your willingness is a jewel to me
Your body I recall
Made music of it all
Yes your body I recall
Made music of it all


With your lips next to my lips
The night would be so much easier
The day not as hard to face
With you inside this empty space
And with your skin next to my skin
The night ahead could be beautiful
Your body I recall
Made music of it all
Yes your body I recall
Made music of it all


And its been such a battle to change
It’s been such a battle to rearrange
My life, my days and the way I feel
But one more night to spend with you
Just one more night of holding you
Though I know in my heart and soul
It wouldn’t change a thing
Just a little comfort bring
Comfort from you


The white light on the water
The changes in you and your attitude
Your body I recall
Made music of it all
Yes your body I recall
Made music of it all
The music of it all
The music of it all
The music of it all
The music of it all


Your body moves like music
Your body moves like music
Your body moves like music
Your body moves like music

Leave Her Now

When she found out she almost died
And kept her secret locked inside
But it was true
And what could she do
At first she cried, but in the end
She knew she’d cope, and she had friends
She’d see it through
She’d love it too


Leave her now
Leave her now
She’ll be back on line, give a little time
So leave her now
Leave her now
She’ll make it through some how
She’ll be back in style, with a little smile
But leave her to be
For a while


She reads what everyone has said
And hangs the cards, beside the bed
It dulls the ache
She lies awake
At first she cried, but in the end
She knew she’d cope, and she had friends
So she was strong
And life goes on and on and on


Leave her now
Leave her now
She’ll be back on line, give a little time
So leave her now
Leave her now
She’ll make it through some how
She’ll be back in style, with a little smile
But leave her to be
For a while


Then leave her to be, for a while
Leave her to grieve for her child

Breathing Hope

I heard music lighting up my darkness
I felt the phrase melt away my sadness
A melody as potent as wine
I let it sweep me out of my depression
I let it point me in a new direction
Breathing hope on this life of mine


Now who could fail
To let it touch the honesty, within them
And who could help
But be comforted inside


It took a harmony to heal the bad times
It took a rythem to release the sunshine
Even then, it took me so long
To break the silence I’d resigned my life to
To break down barriers I’d shut my eyes to
Releasing me from all that was wrong


Now I don’t try
To understand the way it moves my spirit
That is why
S’pose I’ll never know
How a subtle change of key
Can do these things to me
And make me feel, like I feel


I heard music lighting up my darkness
I felt the phrase melt away my sadness
A melody as potent as wine
I let it sweep me out of my depression
I let it point me in a new direction
Breathing hope on this life of mine

Stray Thoughts

He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray
He comes to chase the midnight blues away
He’s sweet to taste and strong to touch
And with his second sight
He steals away the lonesomeness of night


It seems that heaven’s looked on me and smiled
It sent the sun in place of candlelight
Tumbled out my wildest dreams
Tossed away my worst
Has heaven sent a blessing or a curse


He talks to me, but nothing does he tell
He talks, but keeps his secret safe and well
Still I cannot help but reach for him
With these helpless hands of mine
So I hug him close and pray to God he’s mine


He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray
He comes to chase the midnight blues away
He’s sweet to taste and strong to touch
I find myself inclined
To hug him close and pray to God he’s kind
I hug him close and pray to God he’s kind
