It was a long, long road It was a big deep hole and then the axle broke I barely had time to work up a sweat when my poor Corvette went up in smoke I was glued to the seat, I was dying of the heat Then the water jug spilled right onto the desert sand I got dow...

What do you think of me Is it something you really can't see? Don't you wish that you maybe could be on top of a star What do you think of her? Is she somebody like a bird? Don't you wish you could speak and be heard? I've heard all you've seen How you hav...

Wait Your tired arms must rest Let this moment pass Wait until the morning Close your eyes and you will see Who you used to be Left without a warning Who knew one so big could grow so small Lighter than the writing on the wall When angels cry, can I stand by...

They said lay down in the water Even though you don't believe All your sins will be forgiven And your soul will be redeemed So I walked into the water And I fell down to my knees And I took out some insurance And I bought a little peace But wh...

When I was a child the days whispered by in a half-seen memory of an angel's flight People used to say - You'll be old before your age My bitter laughter would ring out at them Once I was a child on the outside Now I am a child on the inside Sometimes I cry I...

Would you like to learn to sing? Would you like to sing my song? Would you like to learn to love me best of all? Anyone can learn the words And the melody's so plain This is my song to bring you back again I'll teach you how to sing and dance With a song and...

What you gonna do when the silence falls What you gonna do when the silence falls Dance alone to the radio All dressed up and no place to go What you gonna do when the silence falls? What you gonna do when the silence calls your name What you gonna do when the...

When you love someone – it's an arrow in the heart When you love someone – it's a shot in the dark When you love someone – it's a needle in the vein When you love someone – it's a moth to the flame When you love someone – it's love that makes a hero When you l...

Paint the walls in fairy tales A ceiling full of stars Mobiles hung in gay display above the cradle bars Sometimes I think I hear your laughter through the door Then I remember what I won't hear any more Do you see me down here? talking to the empty air? In...

Hope dies, withered on the vine, Old before its time. Water into brine. And dreams die, waiting to be fed, Long before they’re wed to life. So here we are, two ships without a sail, No rudder for the gale winds or the tailspins. I miss you even when you...

Someone is waiting Over by the window Just beyond the stairwell Someone's crying Drowning in the words Of the prophets That are written For the dead and the dying Someone's lying No one's buying Someone is dying Panic in the streets Can't get no release Someon...

We learn to stand in the shadows Watch the way the wind blows Thinking no one knows - we're one of a kind Shy glances at the neighboring team Romance is a dangerous dream Never knowing if they'll laugh or scream Living on a fault line Will you won't you be min...
