Every Little Raindrop 03:27
lyrics
buy track
He talked about the baby blue sky And how it matched my baby blue eyes Said he'd never let anything stand in our way. Said he wanted to see the world Promised I would be his only girl But I could see something else written on his face. chorus Look out here comes the storm I feel EVERY LITTLE RAINDROP Slow down my life's in a whirl I feel EVERY LITTLE RAINDROP falling down... He used to bring me roses so red Used to carry me to our bed Never thought this moment would pass us by. He wrote and sang to me beautiful songs They were for someone else all along I never had the courage to ask him why.... why? Look out here comes the storm I feel EVERY LITTLE RAINDROP Slow down my life's in a whirl I feel EVERY LITTLE RAINDROP falling down on me. bridge they're falling, falling down on me... Still searching for my baby blue sky Since he left my heart and said goodbye But in the light, somthing's come over me..... I'm free!!! Look out here comes the storm I feel EVERY LITTLE RAINDROP Slow down my life's in a whirl I feel EVERY LITTLE RAINDROP falling down on me.

Silence Grows 03:48
lyrics

If my walls could talk Oh what stories they would tell I've sung the praises of so many men they said Marry me, each 10 yeas gone, a whole child's life with every one. Chorus     The sunlight bounces off the wall.     My story never will be told     Silence lives, Silence grows. Outside my walls they envy me The mask I wear it hides the face that's really me Easy come and easy go They've touched my body but not my soul. Chorus     The sunlight bounces off the wall.     My story never will be told     The sunlight bounces off the wall.     My story never will be told     Silence lives,  Silence grows. Footsteps haunt the halls the room is shaking From the sound, of my words hang as silence lives Silence grows. The phone it hasn't rung all day And I'm so tired and going to bed only to stay awake. And read about the day gone by The walls hold me inside Chorus     The sunlight bounces off the wall.     My story never will be told     The sunlight bounces off the wall.     My story never will be told     Silence lives     Silence grows.     Silence lives     Silence grows.

Standing 03:17

Feels like time just passes by Faster every day And I don't know how I just seemed to let it slip away. I've been STANDING here too long I've been STANDING here too long. Looking back on all my feats Is there anything that matters? My bloodstained hand still holds the sand Of the hourglass that shattered. I've been STANDING here too long I've been STANDING here too long. I've been STANDING here I've been STANDING here I've been STANDING here too long. bridge I'm hypnotized by you, I'm hypnotized by you I'm coming to you now, here I come Here I come, here I come, here I am...... Turned around and looked upon my pathway of proof What I once sought out became the ticket to my truth. I've been STANDING here too long I've been STANDING here too long I've been STANDING here I've been STANDING here I've been STANDING here too long...

I never said that I would give up my life for you Guess we were led Down the alley of love by a stranger instead (so baby) chorus I can't wait This time more than my heart's at stake I'm HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE No mistake This time more than my heart could break I'm HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE You lost the key To a fortune I held so preciously Why can't I cry? Coz the answer is "no love" to the question "why?" and baby I can't wait This time more than my heart's at stake I'm HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE No mistake This time more than my heart could break I'm HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE bridge We'll find a reason to stay Slipping deeper every day Still I can't find the time To get away from you... No more chances So hold on to your memories coz there'll be no more, and baby, I can't wait This time more than my heart's at stake I'm HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE No mistake This time more than my heart could break I'm HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE.

It's Too Late 04:34

There you were, my best friend Confiding in me what I thought was everything. A boy and girl stood side by side Laughing, crying, swallowing our pride. So young and so long ago What I thought connected us was a lie, tell me why... chorus I never knew you loved me Oh baby, why did you say goodbye? We can't turn back the hands of time Because now IT'S TOO LATE to try. Tell me how you feel Can you imagine erasing all of your dreams? Your heart will just reveal What you tell yourself not to believe, can't you see.... I never knew you loved me Oh baby, why did you say goodbye? We can't turn back the hands of time Because now IT'S TOO LATE to try bridge Guess I never really noticed How I felt when you were near Well, any fool could see the truth in you and me But now it's all too late but oh so clear Now it's all too late but oh so clear IT'S TOO LATE. I never knew you loved me Oh baby, why did you say goodbye? We can't turn back the hands of time Because now IT'S TOO LATE to try. IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE.

Was a scarey childhood story of bloodshed and deceit A man and his brother and his wife in-between. The only survivor in the dawns early light MISTER O'NEILL He sailed on a steamship, leaving his fair homeland His Mum, she was cryin', would never see him again. Escaped to the free world, where no one would know.... chorus MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL When I asked of this legend, my Grandfather wouldn't say a thing. But we shared the same surname With pirates and killers and kings. A proud American clan Still, I felt akin to MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL bridge Walked through the tall grasses That covered the land of my claim Stumbled upon an old tombstone Bearing my family's name I summoned the Parson Who said, it was true MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL MISTER O'NEILL

Tell me stories and tell me lies All the secrets that haunt you Counting all the days of your life Could all the pain be behind you? And I will break down the DEVIL'S DOOR And I will comfort you I will break down the DEVIL'S DOOR And I will save you soul. Light a match to your poetry Let the fire release you Let the past be a lesson to The skeletons that will seek you BRIDGE: Save your soul...Save your soul.....You soul, your soul... I'm no Jesus but I can preach If you'll only listen to me Have no fear is the code I teach The truth is what you see.

Slippin' Away 03:44
lyrics

You showed me I could have all of the world By sharing all your possibilities. But then you went 'round and closed all my open doors And squeezed me so blind I couldn't see. You want the answers in black and white But baby, there are no guarantees. chorus Every time you look you see me SLIPPIN' AWAY And every time you try to hold on, I can't stay You say your heart is breaking coz I'm feeling this way SLIPPIN' AWAY from your love. You said that you'd never leave me Well I didn't know that meant you'd never leave me alone You tried so hard to please me Well I guess that I was better off out on my own You tried to pull me back one last time I ain't no dog on a leash! Every time you look you see me SLIPPIN' AWAY And every time you try to hold on, I can't stay You say your heart is breaking coz I'm feeling this way, SLIPPIN' AWAY from your love. bridge I know that lovin' ain't easy And expectations aren't fair Your life ain't my responsibility I can't always be there.... I understand you're lonely But you can't see I need to take my time. You want me for your one and only But my own freedom's too important to hide. You try to pull me back one last time I ain't no dog on a leash. Every time you look you see me SLIPPIN' AWAY And every time you try to hold on, I can't stay You say your heart is breaking coz I'm feeling this way SLIPPIN' AWAY from your love SLIPPIN' AWAY.

Anything For You 03:03
lyrics

In your eyes I see a fire in your picture on the wall In your heart I feel desire when I hear your beckoned call. The dusty trails always take you far away. So while you're gone, just remember, I'll be waiting. chorus I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU. The tulips bloomed this morning, you were a million miles away So I picked up my paintbrushes to save them for the day When you come riding down that road, back into my arms But while you're gone, just remember, I'll be waiting. I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU. bridge I will light the candles Lay rose petals on the bed I'll be dressed in your fondest memory I'll be waiting.... A hundred nights have passed I sit alone and watch the moon Jump up from his hiding place to sing his nightly tune. And I will pour the champagne in a glass that's meant for two So when you come back you'll feel the love that I've been saving... I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU I'd do just about ANYTHING FOR YOU.

chorus Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN He had eyes that were kind, He had hopes that you could dream your own dreams. He had hands of a man To pick you up when you'd fall He would hold you, all night long DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN His love and his laugh His eyes and the way he smiled is pictured in you He stood tall in the dark He was strong (I'm so frail) He kissed me, the last time he said goodnight, goodnight... bridge Fork in the road Twisted figures of fate Pushed him into the wind.... He walks side by side with the sun and the stars and the moon If you stay very still You just might feel him kiss you Goodnight, goodnight... Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN Baby, DADDY HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN

Change The Way I Pray 02:37
lyrics

I paved the way, but not for what's to come Never told a lie, but now I stand in darkness. Always did what was right, never stepped on anybody's toes And now I face the real test You get just what you pay for And not a penny more And now I'm gonna change CHANGE THE WAY I PRAY There're powerful men with their empty-headed women Who cheat and steal and take what's meant for you and me. They don't give a damn about a loyal man They'll choose someone who'll do the job for free. There's so much more to ask for But only money opens the door. And now I'm gonna change CHANGE THE WAY I PRAY bridge When I finally lay down and leave my heart in the ground Only my love has survived, The climate of change, and I'll face that change Coz I've changed. Well, Hey God! I'm talking to you I'm sick and tired of what people do They stole my car, wont pay their rent Just buy drugs and end up dead. Hey God, I still love you I still wanna do what's right by you But I'm so tired and I get mad Sometimes stick my head in the sand I gotta say what I'm gonna do... CHANGE THE WAY I PRAY CHANGE THE WAY I PRAY CHANGE THE WAY I PRAY CHANGE THE WAY I PRAY...

The Game Of Life 03:01
lyrics

Life is a game of imperfections of the soul No one's in control, or so it seems. You and I were reaching for the same forgotten stars Nothing seemed to far, not even dreams. But I'm stuck inside a playing piece And I'm searching for the truth And it's all inside THE GAME OF LIFE I still can feel the pain of when you went past go Collected all your dough, and took my heart. Your fortune read "Confucious says you are a jerk!" And now I can't hold back my evil side! But I'm stuck inside a playing piece And I'm searching for the truth And it's all inside THE GAME OF LIFE Can you remember love so good? I can't believe that I believed the lies you cooked. Did you think that I'd just give up Broadway? You've got Marvin Gardens, now I'll race you to the top. But I'm stuck inside a playing piece And I'm searching for the truth And it's all inside THE GAME OF LIFE Can you remember love so good? I can't believe that you believed the lies I cooked. Did you think that I'd just give up Broadway? You've got Marvin Gardens, now I'll race you to the top. But I'm stuck inside a playing piece And I'm searching for the truth And it's all inside THE GAME OF LIFE But I'm stuck inside a playing piece And I'm searching for the truth And it's all inside THE GAME OF LIFE
