I'D BE BROKEN

 

Darling, hold on to my love

Hold on to my touch

a little bit more

For all affection

that I've grudged you

For all loads I let you carry

I owe you

 

Ashamed to be someone

who took you for granted

Who took and demanded

the whole of you

 

So darling, hold on to my love

Hold on to my touch

a little bit more

 

'Cause I'd be broken

I'd be broken

I'd be broken, without you

 

All the visions

would mean nothing

I need your touching

getting to my soul

 

So darling, hold on to my love

Hold on to my touch

a little bit more

 

'Cause I'd be broken

I'd be broken

I'd be broken, without you

 

From now on, I'll always share

my loving mind

I'll put my heart into your soul

I'll be tender, I will defend for you

I'll give it all, that belongs to you

'Cause I'd be broken

I'd be broken

I'd be broken, without you

'Cause I'd be broken

I'd be broken

I'd be broken, without you

 

 

STAND BY

 

It's because of my faith

In how it should be

I never consider

and that's why I let you drive me

drive me crazy

 

It's not a question

Or trying ones fortune

What it's all about

is to fight to make it live

To make it live and survive

 

So stand by, stand by

Stand by, stand by

 

And I won't be scared

of the hard times that will come

We'll get to a level

when we get through

and then we just go on and on

 

So stand by, stand by

Stand by, stand by

So stand by, stand by

Stand by, stand by

 

 

THERE MUST BE A REASON

 

Decided to leave my

past years to the gods

It wouldn't be fair

and it wouldn't be right

To choose myself to be the judge

 

I learned to keep my mouth shut

and I tried to understand

That you must have a good heart

if you could win

my mother's hand

 

I'm sorry mother

there must be another reason

I'm sorry mother

but now we are done!

 

She was caught in the middle

wanted to save her from wars

So I started to live for the day

I could move my life outdoors

 

The distance burried

my thoughts of revenge

It was a relief to think

of you as a friend

Now it occurs to me

how we have changeed

Since I've grown up

it suddenly stopped

 

I'm sorry mother

There must be another reason

I'm sorry mother

But now we are done

I'm sorry mother

There must be another reason

I'm sorry mother

But now we are done

 

 

SO GOOD

 

It will be better in the morning

They said the sun might shine

I'll have you close

You'll have the deeps of mine

It will be better, much better

Suppose it would rain

How I would smile

It would be pretty easy

Keep you lying for a while

It will be better, much better

 

It'll be so good

 

In fact we don't have to do anything

whatever goes wrong

We've still got everything

It can't be better, it can't be better

 

It's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good

In fact we don't have to do anything

whatever goes wrong

We've still got everything

It can't be better, it can't be better

 

It's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good

 

And better, better, better...

Much better, better, better...

 

It's so good, it's so good

It's so good, it's so good...

 

 

ALWAYS YOU

 

If it wasn't the ocean

Wasn't the breezes

Wasn't the white sand

There might be no need

 

If I could sleep through

the cold nights

If I could breathe and eat right

If I had worked all summer

Maybe I wouldn't feel so humble

 

Oh you, it's always you

It's always you

 

If red roses weren't so lovely

If wine didn't taste so good

If stars weren't so romantic

Then I could do what I should

 

Oh you, it's always you

It's always you

Oh you, it's always you

It's always you

 

If your love I could command it

Get your head to understand it

I'd go twice around the world

Even though I may not find it

 

Oh you, it's always you

It's always you

Oh you, it's always you

It's always you

 

Oh you (if it wasn't the ocean)

It's always you (wasn't the breezes)

It's always you (wasn't the white sand)

(There might be no need)

Oh you (if it wasn't the ocean)

It's always you (wasn't the breezes)

It's always you (wasn't the white sand)

(There might be no need)

 

 

A THOUSAND TIMES

 

I woke up so sad one morning

And there were reasons

for that bad morning

Something told me

you're not ready for this change

 

I got up and stepped into the shower

And I thought it will be gone about an hour or so

But something told me

this feeling comes from deep inside

 

And suddenly ran teardrops,

just like the water

And I lost, I lost the fight

And it felt like someone

had died away from me

And myself died a thousand times

 

Have I lost my senses and strength

Are my eyes just full of you

Why come the pictures

reminding me of love

 

Suddenly ran teardrops,

just like the water

And I lost, I lost the fight

And it felt like someone had died away from me

And myself died a thousand times

And it felt like someone had died away from me

And myself died a thousand times

 

 

TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING

 

He couldn't believe what his mama said

They put him in their car and he got scared

She looked at him in such a painful way

Oh please mama, don't torture me this way

 

She held him close and tears fell down

He thought of the words she'd said

your father is gone

 

Oh no, this cannot be

My father would never leave you or me

So tell me you're joking, mama

 

She said he didn't suffer, because he was drunk

But how could she know, she wasn't there when he sunk

 

Oh no, this cannot be

My father would never leave you and me

So tell me you're joking, mama

 

He thought he would accept it as time passed by

But still there are moments when he has to cry

He feels his father should have been there

through the years

But he'll always send him love through thoughts

and through tears

Oh no, this cannot be

My father would never leave you and me

So tell me you're joking, mama

Tell me you are joking, mama

Tell me you are joking, mama

 

 

WOMAN IN ME

 

Can you hear the rattling rain

Like a cradle song

to iver your pain

Can you feel the howling wind

It's gonna bring your thoughts to sin

 

There's something about the night

Brings out the woman in me

 

When the room is dark

and you let it go

The watching shows

and talk through the walls

 

When the sheets have got you warm

and you fall into the deep

Wish the dreams will give you

a night of good sleep

 

There's something about the night

Brings out the woman in me

There's something about the night

Brings out the woman in me

There's something about the night

Brings out the woman in me

 

 

YOU AND HIM

 

You were in the city one night all alone

Waiting for a taxi that could take you home

You saw a man walking down the street, towards you

And you could see he had no teeth in his upper jaw

He had dirt in his hair, he had dirt everywhere

His clothes didn't fit, and one eye was hit

He asked you if you had a minute to talk

You said you didn't talk to strangers

and you started to walk

 

His eyes looked sad

and he asked you why you acted like this,

was it because he looked so bad

I know I scare you, but I just wanted to say

that you're the most beautifiul I've seen today

 

You said, thank you very much

but please now leave me alone

He said where are you going

You said I'm going home

Oh please would you invite me

to your house sometime

you have just seen mine,

it's here on the ground

 

He took a bottle from his jacket and he said cheers

And you felt it was gone that feeling of fear

You said what happened to you,

how could end up like this

You must have had your choices,

so tell me what this is

 

He said, you don't know a thing about me

All you know is only what you see

Even if I've lost the most of my brain

I still can see the sun

and I can feel when it rains

 

I tried to be friendly, I tried to me nice

But you turned me your back

and you were chilly as ice

I didn't ask you for money

I asked you for words

It's not my life that bothers,

it's the way you act that hurts

 

You said you were sorry

but how could you know

that someone like him

suddenly could do

But then you talked until the taxi arrived

You said you had to go

you said goodnight

 

There's only one thing

I wanna tell you before you go

I know you wanna get home

I know you do

I just wanted to tell you,

I just wanted to say

That I'll remember with a smile this day

 

 

UNTIL DAWN

 

I wonder, I wonder about the fire

One fire I seem to be stuck with

It's glowing, and burning,

and sprarkling of flames

I wonder who set it free

 

And I don't know just what to do

It's like I could get crazy about you

My fire burns until dawn

My fire burns until dawn

 

I wonder about the sun over the brook

I wonder about the genious and the fool

I wonder about reasons

and what it would take to use their power

for their own sake

 

And I don't know just what to do

It's like I could get crazy about you

My fire burns until dawn

My fire burns until dawn

And I don't know just what to do

It's like I could get crazy about you

My fire burns until dawn

My fire burns until dawn

 

 

I'LL REMEMBER YOU

 

It's daybreak, and you are asleep

I can hear you breathe now

Your breath is deep

But before I go

I'll look at you one last time

I can hear a heart beat

Is it yours or is it mine?

 

I look at your lips

I know how soft they can be

Did they know what they wanted

the times they kissed me?

 

And your hands

that I've held in mine

Now they're reposing on the pillow

Will they ever miss me sometime?

 

I'll remember you

You will be there in my heart

I'll remember you

But that is all that I can do

But I'll remember

 

Your eyes

That always make me shiver

Now they're closed

They just sometimes twitch a little

 

And your body

I could own for an hour

It sent me to heaven

with its heat and power

 

I'll remember you

You will be there in my heart

I'll remember you

But that is all that I can do

But I'll remember

 

 

I'LL SEE YOU (IN ANOTHER WORLD)

 

Days like this get to my senses

I see to the old burried losts

Golden times are when I remember

how I used to talk to my heart

Seems to be easy now

Whenever I need to cry, I hide

It's too late to get back

looking for overgrown tracks

 

I'll see you in another world

I'll see you in another world

 

In the soul of the streets

We walked on the magic reads

from its old histories

Among all the people

I've never seen before,

it's the ghost of you that I'm looking for

 

Seems to be all set up

Whenever I think of you, I give up

It's too late to get back

looking for overground tracks

 

I'll see you in another world

I'll see you in another world
