SHE LOVES THE WAY THEY LOVE HER
Argent-White

She stands by the lights at the front of the audience
Smile on her face just taking in their every glance.

She loves the way they love her
She loves the way they love her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking lie.

A smooth talking baby, there's the man from the management
He trips on the wire as he's paying her a compliment.

She loves the way he loves her
She loves the way he loves her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking lie.

And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking lie.

Crying, dying, sighing while she's shining in the microphone
Kings and Queens of future time when she and me are all alone.

She loves the way I love her
She loves the way I love her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking lie.

Running my hands through her hair
And knowing she'll always be there
Oh she loves the way they love her
She loves the way they love her
She loves the way they love her
She smiles
She smiles
She smiles.

You look to me like misty roses
To soft to touch
But too lovely to leave alone
If I could be like misty roses
I love you much
You're too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
But their peace of mind
You look to me like love forever
Too good to last
But too lovely not to try
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
But their peace of mind
If I believe in love forever
I'd forget the past
You're too lovely
Not to try

You look to me like misty roses
To soft to touch
But too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
with their peace of mind
If I believe in love forever
I'd forget the past
You're too lovely not to try

CAROLINE GOODBYE
Blunstone

Saw your picture in the paper
My, your're looking pretty good
Looks like you're gonna make it in a big way
Oh, I always knew you would
But I should have known better, yeah
And I should've seen sooner ..

There's no use pretending
I've known for a long time your love is ending
Caroline goodbye
Caroline goodbye.

I'm not saying how or where we went wrong
Time changes 'til we get on alone
I'm left with no thoughts of the past
Here's your song to help make it last
I should've known better, yeah
I should've seen sooner ..

There's no use pretending
I've known for a long time your love is ending
Caroline goodbye
Caroline goodbye.

There's no use pretending
I've known for a long time your love is ending
Caroline goodbye
Caroline goodbye.

I have climbed up every mountain
Sailed on every sea
Travelled on every highway
Wondering where else can she be
But I never for a moment ever lost my peace of mind
Wonder where I can find that girl
Within the sense of time

I met her on a Monday
On the Tuesday came the fight
She vanished on the Midnight train
And rode off in the night
But I never will forget the day
She gave me all her love
She vanished in the world out there
And it's me she's dreaming of

Mary, won't you come home
You've been away far too long
Where can you be
Mary, won't you warm my bed
I'm sitting here going out of my head
Where can you be

And if I should search the whole world over
'Till I found the seventh sun
It wouldn't mean a thing to me 'cause you're the only one
I've just got to find a way
To track you down and make you mine
I know I'm gonna find you girl
Within the sense of time

Mary, won't you come on home
You've been away for far too long
Where can you be
Mary, won't you warm my bed
I'm sitting here going out of my head
Where can you be

And if I should search the whole world over
'Till I found the seventh sun
It wouldn't mean a thing to me 'cause you're the only one
I've just got to find a way
To track you down and make you mine
I know I'm gonna find you girl
Within the sense of time

Mary won't you come on home
You've been away for far too long
Where can you be
Mary won't you warm my bed
I'm sitting here going out of my head
Where can you be

LET ME COME CLOSER TO YOU
Blunstone

It's been so long since we last met
I wonder now how I could let you go
Though I don't dare to try too hard
Let me come closer to you.

I hate to see you sad
Although I don't know you so very well
If I can help in any way
Let me come closer to you.

So please don't run away again
I know you're strong enough to do it
But if you can't, please understand
Let me come closer to you.

It's been so long since we last met
I wonder now how I could let you go
Though I don't dare to try too hard
Let me come closer to you.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
Ballard

I walk along the road and past your door
And I remember things you said
I know in time it could have been so much more
But if you want to come back home, go right ahead.

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

I believe I was your game, your ball (your ball)
If you threw me out then I would fall
So you won again, you win them all
But I believe I'd run to you if you should call.

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

And I believe there's song when there's someone
Who's going to light the way when things go wrong
The bullet that shot me down was from your gun
Life's a turn around from your song

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

ANDORRA
Argent-White

Here we are back to Andorra with the sunset on the left
The northern mountains pointed to black clouds in the West
Here there's a darkness in the sky, that's not the night
Here there's a rain cloud and it's shutting out the light.

What do I tell you it's always the same ?
When you run for the sun to catch the rain.

As soon as we reach Barcelona, a cold wind touched the beach
The sun blacked in London is way beyond our reach
Hey, I said : 'Darling, it seems a waste of time'
'Hey all we do is sit and drink our Spanish wine'.

What do I tell you it's always the same ?
When you run for the sun to catch the rain.

And all of the tales of Granada tell of is in gloom
Lived beneath a Moorish God beneath the Moorish sun
Oh how we yearn to turn our faces to the glare
Down from the mountains came the rain that soaked our hair.

What do I tell you it's always the same ?
When you run for the sun to catch the rain.

What do I tell you it's always the same ?
When you run for the sun to catch the rain.

I can see the bright line
Of the runway light shine
Coming home tonight
Flight from out the sky
Sitting here in silver wings
Hear the engine stundering
Hanging here so easily
Above the lights of home
I need you more than ever now my love
Oh watch the lights of a city draw me to your name

Wonderful, wonderful
You're my lady wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful
Run to me my lady wonderful

Will you see me touch down
All the numbers turn round
On the flight arrivals high in the hall
I wait impatiently
Knowing you're not far from me
Trying to catch a look of you
Through the customs wall
I want you more than ever now my love
There's nothing more than a wall holding us apart

Wonderful, wonderful
You're my lady wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful
Run to me my lady wonderful

Wonderful, wonderful
You're my lady wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful
Run to me my lady wonderful

BEGINNING
Blunstone

As another day lays down its head
I sit here reading by your light
My mind is singing with all we've said
Scared at how violent it can be
For wrong and right and not like black and white
Everything falls in the middle
Oh self-doubt surrounds you in the night
You suddenly find yourself running.

Keep out the people, keep out the day
Let us begin by beginning
The secret of the future's never told
Let us begin by beginning
(Let us, let us begin)
Let us begin by beginning.

YOU WHO ARE LONELY
Ballard

I just can't begin to explain the expression on my face
Let's just say that I've lost someone and losing leaves its trace
And I won't dare to pretend I'm in the hands of fate
But how long before we get what comes to those who wait ?

You, you are lonely, no
How slowly time can go
When winds of sadness blow.

You, you are lonely, you see
To be alone is not to be free
Nobody knows like me
And you who are lonely.

It's not that I appreciate to have love to share
To come home every night and know someone is waiting there
And a home without love is no home at all
I'm hanging on to a dream, waiting to fall.

You, you are lonely, no
How slowly time can go
When winds of sadness blow.

You, you are lonely, you see
To be alone is not to be free
Nobody knows like me
And you who are lonely.

You, you are lonely, no
How slowly time can go
When winds of sadness blow.

You, you are lonely, you see
To be alone is not to be free
And nobody knows like me
And you who are lonely.

IT'S MAGICAL
Ballard

And just to know you're there
The world could stop turning, I wouldn't care
This feeling of ecstasy
Just knowing you're standing so close to me
You set my spirit on fire
Every minute the flame's growing higher.

It's magical (magical) magical (magical)
Speak my name (speak my name) and mountains fall (mountains fall)
It's magical, it's magical.

No matter where I go, you are there
I feel your presence so
And when I go to sleep
All the dreams of you are mine to keep
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm blessed the day you came along.

It's magical (magical) magical (magical)
Speak my name (speak my name) and mountains fall (mountains fall)
It's magical, it's magical.

It's magical.

It's magical (magical) magical (magical)
Speak my name (speak my name) and mountains fall (mountains fall)
(It's magical, it's magical).

It's magical (magical) magical (magical)
Speak my name (speak my name) and mountains fall (mountains fall)
(It's magical, it's magical).

No matter where I go (magical) you are there, I feel your presence so (magical)
And when I go to sleep (speak my name) all the dreams of you are mine to keep (mountains fall)
(It's magical, it's magical).

You look to me like misty roses
To soft to touch
But too lovely to leave alone
If I could be like misty roses
I love you much
You're too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
But their peace of mind
You look to me like love forever
Too good to last
But too lovely not to try
Flowers often cry

You're too lovely

To soft to touch
But too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
with their peace of mind
If I believe in love forever
I'd forget the past
You're too lovely not to try

SMOKEY DAY
Argent-White

Smokey day, hey
Bring the dust of dusty evening
Weave the spell of evening
Into patterns of my life.

Smokey day, hey
How her perfume still entrances
Soft, serene she dances
Moving sweetly through my life.

Smokey day, hey
Hear the call of plaintive voices
Does it whisper voices
Calling gently through the night ?

Smokey day, hey
Your enchanting light is leaving
Silver haze is leaving
And bringing to me peaceful night.

CAROLINE GOODBYE
Blunstone

Saw your picture in the paper
My, your're looking pretty good
Looks like you're gonna make it in a big way
Oh, I always knew you would
But I should have known better, yeah

There's no use pretending
I've known for a long time your love is ending
Caroline goodbye
Caroline goodbye.

Here's your song to help make it last

Caroline goodbye
Caroline goodbye.

There's no use pretending

Caroline goodbye
Caroline goodbye.

THOUGH YOU ARE FAR AWAY
Blunstone

Though you are far away
I'm with you in every way
Close your eyes, you will see.

Sleepy head lay close to mine
And I'll whisper quietly in your ear
Close your eyes, you will see.

If you're ever feeling sad, down and lonely
Think of me thinking of you
If you ever feel you need somebody close to you
Think of me thinking of you.

So between you and I
Time and miles are not to cry
Close your eyes, you will see.

Though you are far away
I'm with you in every way
Oh, close your eyes, you will see.

HER SONG
Argent-White

Sometimes when I wake at night, in the hour before the light
Darkness seems to cover and hide me all reason
Then out on the rooftop high, another day begins to climb
Something is waking in the light there I can see
A sleepy head so close to me
And every little word we sang through the night is bright for the day.

Hey, you know you are love to me
You hold everything like a child for me
And I think of you and your funny ways
That sweet summer smile on your lovely face
For I love you, you are love to me.

I try when we have to fight, to say the words, to put things right
It gets so hard not touching, with miles between our fingers
And then when you don't believe, there's so much pride to hide beneath
That something is growing in every room the touch of you
The tender edge of loving you
And everything I have is nothing if it can't belong to you.

Hey, you know you are love to me
You hold everything like a child for me
And I think of you and your funny ways
That sweet summer smile on your lovely face
For I love you, you are love to me.

LET ME COME CLOSER TO YOU
Blunstone

It's been so long since we last met
I wonder now how I could let you go
Though I don't dare to try too hard
Let me come closer to you.

I hate to see you sad
Although I don't know you so very well
If I can help in any way
Let me come closer to you.

So please don't run away again
I know you're strong enough to do it
But if you can't, please understand
Let me come closer to you.

It's been so long since we last met
I wonder now how I could let you go
Though I don't dare to try too hard
Let me come closer to you.

So you won again, you win them all
But I believe I'd run to you if you should call.

But I don't believe in miracles

But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

And I believe there's song when there's someone
Who's going to light the way when things go wrong
The bullet that shot me down was from your gun
Life's a turn around from your song

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles

I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

I WANT SOME MORE
Blunstone

I'm sittin' all alone on a sunny summer afternoon
Sittin' alone with nothing to do
Oh people feel bizarre if I sit by myself
They don't know that I'm waiting for you.

And I just will be waitin' all I'm livin' for
Oh I want some more.

Now I know I haven't known you for long
Just a couple of days since we met
Whether it's right or whether it's wrong
It's the closest I got to it yet.

And I just will be waitin' all I'm livin' for
I, oh I want some more.

Sit back and worrying here for the day
Back to the wall on my knees
Whether you come or whether you don't
With my back to the wall.

Ooh that's fine.

PAY ME LATER
Blunstone-Dennys

Every time that you get down
I count the seconds 'til you'll be around
I wish just once we could start again
Rememberin' the happiness that we once found.

If you want me to listen to you now
Oh boy you're gonna have to pay me later
If you want me to listen to you now
Oh boy you're gonna have to pay me later.

Well you may not look like Brigitte Bardot
But you got rhythm in your big black toe
It shakes my roots and makes me tootie toot toot
Tootie toot tootie toot tootie toot tootie toot.

If you want me to listen to you now
Oh boy you're gonna have to pay me later
If you want me to listen to you now
Oh boy you're gonna have to pay me later.

Well I may not look like Gregory Peck
But when I whisper sweet nothings too close to your neck
You know you won't have to fake it
Shake it, shake shake shake shake shake shake it.

If you want me to listen to you now
Oh boy you're gonna have to pay me later
If you want me to listen to you now
Oh boy you're gonna have to pay me later.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD YOU
Blunstone

Born the son of a lonely man in a land a long way from here
I traveled far through good and bad but I've always had you.

And even in the darkest hour you were always there to see me through
So if I'm sad, it's not for long, I've always had you.

When we meet and I'm sure we will, I know you where ever you are
So I can wait until that day for I've always had you.

But I can wait until that day for I've always had you.

TIME'S RUNNING OUT
Blunstone

Time's running out, hold on if you must
Time's never been a friend
Time's been running out since time began.

You must change with time or time will change alone
While you've been standing still
Everything else will have grown.

The answer's easy (the answer's easy) if you try (if you only try)
The answer's right (the answer's right) the answer's why.

Don't try to hold her wings back
Don't try to hide your flight
For time is running out and time never lies.

The answer's easy (the answer's easy) if you try (if you only try)
The answer's right (the answer's right) the answer's why.

Don't try to hold her wings back
Don't try to hide your flight
For time is running out and time never lies.

Take me up
Fill my cup with your wine
I'm your home
And you are mine
I'll never leave you
Now that I've seen you
I'll never breath a word of what I've found

Make my eyes
Tell no lies
To my heart
I've known the way
Right from the start
You know you'll see me
Only when you free me
When our darkest hour are passes to dark

[Chorus:]
How could we fail to see
Everything that we could be
Now that we've written this song
How could we dare to be wrong

There is no
Turning back from the truth
It took so long
But now I'm there
Take my word
Show me you've heard
I'll never ask again what I ask now

[Chorus]
How could we fail to see
Everything that we could be
Now that we've written this song
How could we dare to be wrong

To be wrong

SAY YOU DON'T MIND
Laine

I realize that I've been in your eye some kind of fool
What I do, what I did, stupid fish I drank the pool
I've been doing some dying
Now I'm doing some trying
So say you don't mind, you don't mind
You'll let me off this time.

I came into this scene when my dreams were getting bad
And who rides with the tide and who's glad with what it had ?
I've been doing some whinning
Now I'm doing some finding
So say you don't mind, you don't mind
You'll let me off this time.

To you I'm blind
Somethin' inside
Say you don't mind.

I've been doing some dying
Now I'm doing some trying
Hey say you don't mind, you don't mind
You'll let me off this time
For this time, oh this time
You'll let me off this time.

To you I'm blind
Somethin' inside
Say you don't mind.

Well it gets you so bad that a door mat sees better times
There's time to get back and think up some better line
I've been doing some growing
But I'm scared of you going
So say you don't mind, you don't mind
You'll let me off this time
You'll let me off this time.

You look to me like misty roses
To soft to touch
But too lovely to leave alone
If I could be like misty roses
I love you much
You're too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
But their peace of mind
You look to me like love forever
Too good to last
But too lovely not to try
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
But their peace of mind
If I believe in love forever
I'd forget the past
You're too lovely
Not to try

You look to me like misty roses
To soft to touch
But too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
with their peace of mind
If I believe in love forever
I'd forget the past
You're too lovely not to try
