Behind closed doors you're mine I'm yours We've got our own language and that's about all Stripped to the bone I'm happy alone So wherever I'm going I'm going to get there on my own In this man's world I'm always screaming to be heard In this latest vessel a...

I've betrayed you, not in body and soul I've betrayed you, not in ways that would show I've betrayed you By word of mouth, by thoughts of doubt Forgive me, forgive me I've misled you, though not intending to I've misled you, in ways I shouldn't do I'v...

I had my hopes up high, higher than high No matter how I try, sometimes they're falling And it's a slow decline for this hope of mine A little piece at a time, somehow it's falling And I look, and I wonder why (why) Disappointment written on a blue sky...

I'm like a butterfly Pushing against the wind You're like a magnet Pulling me back in No matter how I try No matter what I do I keep coming back to you Mercy mercy please You've got to release me How this fatal twist of alchemy Brings me to my knees...

Silly I know, I thought my undying belief Could hold you up where you belong Among the coveted and the favoured And the shining strong Maybe these arms, although loyal through and through Faltered for a single moment Beneath the heavy burden of proof A...

Cocooned, Cocooned, Am I by your love Cocooned, So soon Am I? I do, my best, not to forget my Promise, to not get, cocooned But it isn't all that easy Sticking to my theory That life is a straight and single road And even more alarming When no one is...

No butterflies no butterfingers No "ah me" that lingers On and on when you are gone No last dance from the lake swan No string quartet playing in my head No sweet Juliet No thunder bolt from up above Just good old plain old concrete love Good old plain old con...

An invisible umbilical cord Ties me to you Like a magical infallible cable Stretching over mountains Across the sea Every star lights the path to you from me Under deserts Through the barren plains Connecting you to me again An emotional devotional bond Bin...

Why can't I get it right? Why can't I hold it together? Why have I been up all night? Why can't I settle down forever? 24/7 round and round I go Sliding from heaven To the flames below Monday I'm at square one Tuesday what have I done Wednesday I'm alright J...

Don't ask me why I'm running out of laughter There's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after And I thought it was plain to see And I thought the whole world could be And I thought we'd be happy ever after. You could say that I'm living in a pipe dream It's...

Down in southern Africa There's happy ever after At last and maybe forever While they're living comfortably And there's peace and unity Then we can be happy ever after

If you make yourself an island, I'm gonna sail straight out to you If you burn your bridges one by one, I'll not give up on you. But if you scratch, scratch the surface, underneath the skin Under the armour of that iron woman So many things lie within......
