Angel eyes come free me From these shallow-minded feelings ‘cause I don’t know Where to go I feel so alone And there’s a desperate conversation Within every step I’m taking, and I know I know I broke your heart I know, I know I tore it apart But with sad songs on paper planes that I’ll fly to you To make a change And I love you I swear it’s true I was just too young too scared to lose Myself But I wouldn’t have anyone else Anyone else And there’s the sleepless nights left wondering If she’ll love you, leave you or want you And you know, you know you had your chance For her love for you subsided And her dreams of you have departed And you know, don’t go Baby please don’t go I know, I know Baby please don’t go But with sad songs on paper planes that I’ll fly to you To make a change And I love you I swear it’s true I was just too young too scared to lose Myself But I wouldn’t have anyone else Anyone else

Say what you need to say Don't give up now Just let me in Say what you need to say And let the words come out ------------------ Floating through an ocean of dreams Come swim along Come fly with me Say what you need to say And let the words come out ------------------ Through an open door Come on in now don't be long Who is it ever for? Don't be scared now you belong And let the words come out -------------------- Everybody's going their way Look outside it's a brighter day Everybody's going their way So go outside and play --------------------- Nobody knows for sure Watching the rain just pour and pour Nobody knows for sure But I'm going there anyway ---------------------- Through an open door Come on in now don't be long Who is it ever for? Don't be scared now you belong And let the words come out -------------------- Snow is falling down on her face Feet are on the ground Still in space Snow is falling down on her face -------------------- Snow is falling down on her face Feet are on the ground Still in space Snow is falling down on her face --------------------

Fear 04:03
My life has been Filled with regret I've always been too scared To place a losing bet ----------- And wonder comes softly Into my room She says "please come take me" But i take the wooden spoon -------- Fear Takes away all my believing Fear So near To terminal self-deceiving I'm leaving you behind To be with the living kind ---------- It's never too late To make mad amends Twisting my fate Going round and round the bend ---------- Make ready your sails Hello foreign lands Digging for gold In magical sands ------------ Fear Takes away all my believing Fear So near To terminal self-deceiving I'm leaving you behind To live with a fearless mind ---------- Takes one to know one Takes one to be nobody nobody here ------------

Get up now Stop feeling ‘lone and sorry for yourself Sit up now And drive it all away Get up now You want to scream you love her every day But you’re tied to someone else You need her But she’s with the latest greatest fool You’re with someone too You smile Every single time she’s with you She smiles back at you Your world starts spinning round as your last Cigarette goes out You wanna scream you love her But the words just won’t come out But over the ledge She lives in you Over the ledge What more can you do Over the ledge In that state of mind Over the ledge Everything seems fine Get up now Stop feeling ‘lone and sorry for yourself Sit up now And drive it all away Get up now You want to scream you love her every day But you’re tied to someone else You need her But she’s with the latest greatest fool You’re with someone too You smile Every single time she’s with you She smiles back at you Your world starts spinning round as your last Cigarette goes out You wanna scream you love her But the words don’t fit the mouth But over the ledge She lives in you Over the ledge What more can you do Over the ledge In that state of mind Over the ledge Everything seems fine

You are some kind of masterpiece Mona Lisa ain't got nothing on you A shiny Renoir Is just a fading Degas They are nothing compared to you You are some kind of masterpiece Words can’t express the poet's eye Wordsworth or Blake Or good old Billy Yeats They never came close to describing you In your room where lover's come and go And Michelangelo comes to say hello And when TS comes to call He writes down what he's seeing Your beauty is so deceiving us all You are some kind of masterpiece No oil on canvas would ever show How beautiful you are as moonlit Shalimar Before me in a loving glow You are some kind of masterpiece You're the inspiration for all my dreams. In this gallery of darkness You light my world regardless Of what I am or will ever be You are my masterpiece

Three degrees of separation Ain't no cause for celebration We were fine at the start Now we find we've grown apart ------------------ You say you will And then you won't You say "I do" And then you don't You say it's up When you know we're down You say you'll always be around -------------------- Hey, hey, hey I want you to stay No, no, no, no, no, no I don't want you to go Go your own way ---------------- Ahhhhhhh Go your own way --------------- We got off course And Flew the wrong away Our compass of love Is in disarray Try to salvage What we had Before the good turned into bad ------------- You say you will And then you won't You say "I do" And then you don't You say it's up When you know we're down You say you'll always be around -------------------- Hey, hey, hey I want you to stay No, no, no, no, no, no I don't want you to go Go your own way ---------------- Ahhhhhhh Go your own way ---------------

This empty motel room don't mean nothing without you These shadows grow long on the wall I never quite know just what you're thinking And I might never know if you want me at all -------------- I'm not a game to be played with your darkest charade When all I want is you --------------- Stay by my side until morning arrives Stay by my side until the morning comes Won't you stay with this feeling that rises above you Will you stay as my lover and be My bride? --------------- You can toy with my heart as a child never sharing You can hold my emotions to the light But i never quite know just what you're thinking Forked words in four walls are hidden in sight ------------------ I'm not a game to be played on your rained on parade When all I want is you --------------- Stay by my side until morning arrives Stay by my side until the morning comes Won't you stay with this feeling that rises above you Will you stay as my lover and be My bride? ----------------

Nobody knows it Nobody cares Feeling like I’ll fall Everyone’s laughing Everyone stares The people you know All of the things They come and they go Everyone sings High and low But away From here Through a valley of fear Come with me dear We will find the way There I will lay Day after day Nothing to say Learning our faith Smiling at people Dying inside Nowhere to hide Playing the clown Running around Lost but never found Going nowhere So much despair Try to stay calm Put on your charm But away From here Through a valley of fear Come with me dear We will find the way There I will lay Day after day Nothing to say Learning our fate Nobody (somebody) Nobody (somebody) Nobody (somebody) Nobody (somebody) Nobody (somebody) Nobody (somebody) Nobody at all

I never saw nothing like you before Wrapped up in your air of mystique and fame I’ll never hear that raging river running honey Not until I hear you speak my name I see your beauty held high in the sky So high, so high above me. Your force, your nature, you will be my lover Such a part of one another You bring me joy I think I’m falling deep in love with you. You bring me joy Belle pepper blue Let me walk with you on your journey Let me follow where your footsteps fall Let me show you that I too am worthy Of being here in your presence at all. And when the evening drifts in to tomorrow And time is hung up tied up on a string I look into your eyes and touch your secrets Let the joy of happiness ring. You bring me joy I think I’m falling deep in love with you. You bring me joy Belle pepper blue. And when the twilight of our years is upon us And light is fading on a screen Just know that our love will last forever You are my homecoming queen You bring me joy Belle pepper blue

There she stands Sunlight catching through her hair Deep brown eyes as she’s fleeting Fading away That playful smile That always seemed to last awhile My memories … Are fleeting Fading away And lately can’t you feel Lately can’t you feel the change The illusions of your dreams are fading Fading to grey She is all you know But you’ve got to let her go But Melody has gone But Melody has gone But Melody has gone Yes, it’s fleeted Faded away The silent stars With broken hearts that mend too fast As you try to place what’s gone And what remains Left behind Is someone that you long to find But you can’t recall who she was Or anything at all And lately do you feel And lately do you feel the pain These illusions of your dreams are faded Faded away She was all you’ve known But you’ve had to let her go Melody has gone Melody has gone Melody has gone Yes, it’s fleeted Faded away Melody has gone Her Melody has gone Her Melody has gone Her Melody has gone Her Melody has gone Her memory has gone Her Melody has gone

You and me We were meant to be Marking time With certainty Calendar times Upon our wall A line of crosses to mark our fall ------------ It's cutting me right open Tearing down our sunset sky For me it's only broken But for you it is goodbye ------------- So Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Away? --------- Seasons changed You went your way The circle turned You came back to stay But the ice between us snowed us in The autumn thaw is to begin --------- It's cutting me right open Clip your wings so you can't fly For me it's only broken For you it is goodbye ------------- So Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Away? --------- So why don't you ever listen? Too little time? You think that love is for leaving And I don't know why Why? ------------ So Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Away? --------- So Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Where did our love go? Away? ---------
