I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty From livin' out on the sidewalk. Footsteps takin' me nowhere, But where can you go when you don't know What it is you're lookin' for? Just as I was a desperate man You made the sun start to shine, You said,"baby, come in from the rain". You could see down the stitches and patches That were holdin' me together, So with stolen faces, hand in hand, We made footsteps together for musicland. Used to be I had troubles aplenty, My pockets were empty, yeah, From the bad life on the back streets. But when your footsteps are takin' you nowhere Where can you go and what can you do When you don't know what you're lookin' for? Hey, just as I reached the real world You made the sun start to shine, You said,"baby, come in out of the rain". Oh, yeah, I said you made the sun start to shine, Oh, baby, come in from the rain. |

Why does love have to?
Where does it go to Outta my door? How much have you got? Is it enough for me Or will i want more? Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun. Oh, oh, i'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun. Time in a vacuum, Waiting |

There's a light that shines on Persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes, And the last time that I went to her I could tell things weren't right. I just don't care to see your years go wasting, There's no longer magic in your eyes. In your time, you could outshine everybody else around, But your off-stage ways might be a bore - You take a bow, you take a fall. I came to be here in the footlights, To live with you through every song, And your face displays a peaceful field. I can't believe the curtain has to fall. Now I know your years were never wasted, Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes. |

Like a fighter that lost his will to kill
You knew it was time to go But as I lay in a state of surrender You chose me to say your last hello Like a fighter that lost his will to kill You knew it was time to go You came upon me As I lay in a state of surrender You say you're not afraid You know me well Because I felt you die Why did you say you would touch me? The wind blew sugar-sweet As you passed that silver life line |

I've seen you in black and white
Like a silent movie, But your colours came through tonight You really threw me. Wings of desire will carry us to where we want to be. Wings of desire will keep us flying for eternity. I'm riding on a wave of love too blue to lose me. I just can't get enough You really knew me. Wings of desire will carry us to where we want to be. Wings of desire will keep us flying for eternity. How many times have I told you Whenever you ask me why? How many times can I hold you? You always know when I try. We connect without a single word Like a book you read me. One look, the message heard With you it's easy. I'm riding on a wave of love And I see you in black and white, But your colours came through tonight. |

(Powell, Turner, Upton, Turner)
Screen Gems Publishing I didn't know what day it was that day, Felt just like falling down on my knees to pray. Looked at myself, and all that I could say Was,"I think I see the errors of my way". There in the glass there was something caught my eye, Although I try through my sighing not to cry. See where I am, and what I try to say, Just so I'll look at the errors of my way. Guess I got no one around to pull me through. I just need someone to turn to, yes, I do. Doin' my best just to change my yesterday, Then I won't have no more errors of my way. |

Find myself beside a stream of empty thought,
Like a leaf that's fallen to the ground, And carried by the flow of water to my dreams Woken only by your sound. (Repeat) Alone I've walked this path for many years, Listened to the wind that calls my name. The weeping trees of yesterday look so sad, Await your breath of spring again. Far beyond the hills, Where earth and sky will meet again, Are shadows like an opening hand. Control the secrets That I've yet to find, and wonder at The light in which they stand. (Repeat) |

Throw down the sword,
The fight is done and over, Neither lost, neither won. To cast away the fury of the battle And turn my weary eyes for home. There were times when I stood at death's own door Only hoping for an answer. Throw down the sword, And leav |

Bird rise high from the cinders
Leave it all far behind All the ruins and the fire Bird raise your head from the ashes Many men lay dead You can see them like I Phoenix rise Raise your head to the sky |
