1. CRY

Life's a poor man, always waiting
No direction, almost lost
There's a hurricane blowing around this old world
On these cruel seas, we get tossed
Here we go

Constitution, words of passion
Revolution from the past
The dogs are howling outside my window
Time is running, running fast
I don't know

Take me down and down and down and down
Is there any place I can go?
Show me the face I don't know
Take me down and down and down and down
The forgiver's growing too old
Lately my conscience runs cold

Times are changing, that's evolution
Rearranging and you can't turn back
Well, it just comes prowling around every corner
Strong surviving, weak get trashed

No tears for the lonely child
Don't know how to cry
There's no believing
Always dreaming

Cry, cry
Cry, cry
Cry, cry
Cry, cry


2. THIS HEART

Look at my face and you can tell
There's not a trace that you know well
An empty space, a broken spell
No lesson, no possession

Hypnotic trance, electric smile
Worked out advance, might last a while
Some secret plan, complete denial
No questions, all deception

There's no way of knowing the way I'll be going
There's no way of knowing the truth

I can't stop
This heart of mine now that it's over
This heart of mine says it's the end
This heart of mine turning much colder
This heart of mine is hard to defend

I can address and I can heal
You can't possess the way I feel
I might be blessed with something real
Too painful, your black angel

Now you've been told, your body not soul
Gets you more than you could need
Only you found out, you're losing control
And you never will succeed


3. EVERYDAY

There's no confusion, no talk of losing
It's one thing I know real well
You've got the power, steal every hour
As far as I can tell

This fascination's an education
I do enjoy the ride
Over and over these feelings come closer
It's something you really can't hide

Time flies by, don't know why

But every day of my life
I could fall for you like I always do
Every day of my life
I would crawl to you like I always do

No past, no future, won't try to fool you
I know I'll get it right
I can't do it your way and do what you say
This ain't no back street fight

I hang on your words, I get lost in your eyes
Help me to promise but teach me to lie
Take me to somewhere that I've never been
Show me the magic that I've never seen


4. STILL

Just when I think it can't get worse
And I'm sure it's never going to work
You tell me everything's all right
And I know you'll take away the hurt

No words of wisdom, no story's end
I don't understand you see
But I can't help myself, it's something I can't fight
That's the way it's going to be

Still hanging on, wait a lifetime for you
Hanging on, I'll be right there
Still hanging on, like the last time for you
Hanging on, some place, somewhere

When I wake up and you're not there
I reach out, there's nothing left behind
I wonder what I'm looking for
I should know there's nothing there to find

Pick me up, take me away
Where you go, beautiful day
Take me away, over that rainbow
Out of the grey


5. DREAM ABOUT YOU

I never though I'd feel so helpless
Something's happening to me
'Cause every night feels like the longest
And every hour's eternity

'Cause I can't have you like I wanted to
I got nothing without you

So now I dream about you
I got my arms around you
Dream about you
Ain't nothing else I can do
I want to be where you are
No matter near or how far
So now I dream about you

I'd never thought I'd feel defenceless
Nothing mattered much to me
The sun goes down, I get restless
All those same old memories

I know your touch
You're look, you're every word
Can you hear me, baby?
I want you back again into my world

I want to dream about you all my life
No matter near or far
I promise, promise I'll be where you are
I'm going to dream about you


6. BREATHE OF LIFE

Here we are again, always dream of places
Near and far, all those different faces
I'm going to take it like a breath of life

Here we are again, we don't make much difference
Never start, pray for our forgiveness
Then we take it like a breath of life

From the wilderness all of us climb
Just a blink at the end of all time
Everyday watch the sun on the rise
Always looking, the moon and the stars in our eyes

So here we are again, like a dream unfolded
Every star, every theme exploded
Still we take it like a breath of life

Keep burning bright way beyond time
No shadows light up this long empty night


7. AFTER THE RAIN

Why don't you wait before you decide?
There's no need to run, let love be you're guide

So stay, don't tell me you might
I need to believe you'll be here tonight
'Cause I'm here and I'll just be waiting, hoping, praying

After the rain there's a river of fire
You're lost on the road to nowhere
'Cause after the rain comes the thrill of desire
We turn around, no one's there

Deep inside everyone
There's something we need, the right to belong
But I'm here and I'll just be waiting, hoping, praying

You tell me you're troubles and I'll tell you more
Bad times, you're the pretender
I'll tell you something that I can't ignore
Sad times, what's to remember?


8. THAT HOLY TOUCH

Gotta get myself on my feet again
I'm on borrowed time and I don't know when
There's someone now in the world tonight
Getting kicked around, everlasting fight

I'm just a stray on this broken down highway
In this great divide, there's no truth and no lies
I'll learn that dance, take up natural healing
Going to take my chance, magic carpet and fly
Break these hands of vengeance, need that holy touch
'Cause I'm just a stray on this lonely highway

Justice won't be done, better stay alive
Well, maybe some regrets will help you to survive
When you look for love and the best you found
Makes the price too high, couldn't make you proud


9. LET SOMEBODY IN

When did you stop looking homeward?
Deep in trouble, endlessly
Just like a ghost across the water
You disappear quietly
Now every day seems too long
And everything just goes wrong
So when did you start to live again?
What a way for this to end

You'd better let somebody in, you don't open up to anything
You'd better let somebody in, the times growing shorter
Let somebody in, you're going to lose it all again
You'd better let somebody in, before you're blood turns to water

Now you get lost in your own time
Hide your secrets far away
Don't count the cost when you're falling
Don't have the answers so you say
When everybody brings you down
You're just a face in the crowd
'Cause you don't try, you don't pretend
What a way for this to end

I thought that I really knew you
But that can't be right
And no one could ever find you
Lost in the night


10. THE FACE OF AN ENEMY

Don't hear the thunder come close
If I'm a fool who cares
I'm just a joker, the cool host
But no one knows how I feel
This thing's for real

Wrong time in the wrong place
I'm looking out for you
There's nothing I can do

Empty the room, silent and cold now
No sweet perfume, you used to be there
Empty the room, I picture you now
Traded the moon, I'm getting nowhere

I'm on a journey somewhere
I've learnt to compromise
'Cause in this world, things just ain't fair
I'll keep my feet on the tracks
No turning back

You still get through to me
I hang on desperately
Senses betraying my heart
Like the face of an enemy
Smiling so tenderly
Tearing my whole world apart


11. JUST LIKE JANUARY

In these four walls
I tried but I can't get away
But I still dream every night
It gets me through to the day
I soon recover
'Cause when I'm alone nothing's wrong
It's just the season's that change
We all sing winter's song

Wolf cries by the river
Dark skies passing over soon deliver
Cold rain on the rooftops
Here forever just like January

Close to the fire
On this dark afternoon
The wind blows harder and higher
And summer can't come too soon
No time for lovers
They say there's a storm on the way
And there's nothing can change
This english winter's day

No place to hide
Those icy fingers through you
Can't be denied
And it's still getting to you


12. NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

Say farewell and kiss the life goodbye
It's ended 'cause no one here can tell
They let it pass them by
The stolen tears they cry

They send it every waking hour
That keeps you away in some other place
Every weeping flower to touch your face
Makes you dream of long forgotten songs
From where you belong

Night after night when the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray, you can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come

Things don't change but in some other life
Well, maybe it wouldn't be so strange
To question what feels right
There's nothing black or white

It's crazy and when the heaven's fall
The father and son and the holy ghost
They're, they're up against the wall
They'll cry the most, you shoot them down
And treasure each new day, find no other way

No desert sun burns brighter
No wind could blow as strong
No chains will hold you tighter
Or carry you along


13. THE FLOOD (RED CLOUD'S WAR)(LIVE)

They were just thieves and robbers
You were a stepping stone
Look how the innocent suffer
Raging like a storm in you soul
One thing they forgot to mention
Making peace was their last intention

There was a time you trusted
You were too proud to beg
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said
There wasn't really time to cry
Or even kiss the children goodbye

You got swept by the flood
You got talked out of dreams
There was a price on your blood
Couldn't wash yourself clean
It wasn't really worth a whole lot
Looking back at what you got
Like words in the mud
Tears in a stream
No more dreams

All that you ever wanted
All that you'd seen and heard
Never got really started
Like a river never turned
They didn't give a reason why
Never even bothered to try

Killers without a conscience
Only the good lie dead
Great father who trades in nonsense
Picture this inside your head
The magic of the talking wires
Carry both the truth and the lies


14. BACKSTREET KID (LIVE)

He had eyes of the poor, wild and hungry
Stood out side of the store, shy and clumsy
Saw an electric guitar, he got hooked from the start
That's what is did to the back street kid

It's a dangerous game, might come to nothing
Very hard to explain, the pushing and the shoving
Still the sound in his ears and the many lean years
Taught him to live, back street kid

Dream, dream, back street kid
Dream, dream, dream, dream, back street kid

He spends hours on his own, he's still learning
Learns to wait for the phone, ideas burning
And from liberty hall, he will rise or he'll fall
That's how he'll live, the back street kid

He stepped into the rain, cold and empty
Whispered never again, I'm not contented
Walked off into the night, he walked far out of sight
So much to give, the back street kid


15. WE ALL NEED TO BE LOVED (ACOUSTIC)

You're caught up in anger, trying to hurt
That feeling will change you, just like a curse

You say you don't feel it, we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it, we all need to be loved

You think you're so clever, don't get it wrong
'Cause you should know better than just play along

Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called

Well, there's no power as strong as a love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as a love is
You can open any door

Your message is clouded, make yourself clear
Your alibi's faded, spill one more tear
