Love songs on the radio 

she looks just like an angel 
when she walks across the room 
she shines tonight her golden light 
is everything I need 

lovers all around her 
she wears them like her jewels 
my friend said she´s all he needs 
to feel alive 

love songs on the radio 
your sweetheart lies in bed 
she´s dreaming of the things you said 
she´s hoping that it´s meant...

Sarah 

sarah I can´t see you 
your hair has grown too long 
you´ve been away for such a long time 
I just can´t find the words 

lonesome fools build lonesome walls 
to hide behind, cry behind 
but I´m not one 
no I´m not one 

but I can´t hide 
I´m hurting babe 
but I can´t cry 
cos I´m not one 

drew you a picture to remember 
threw it on the fire like a piece of pine 
i pictured you mad and I pictured you cold 
pictured you mean and i picture you bold 

but I can´t hide 
I´m hurting babe 
but I can´t cry 

lay your love on me 
lay your love on me 

lay your love on me 
lay your love on me

Tomorrow´s taken 

there are times when i can´t think about the future 
when all my days seem dark and life seems cruel 
i´ll take another shot and think about you 
cos a bottle of wine is all i have to hold 

but i think it´s all i´ve got 
you´ve taken all i got 
and i´m sorry to hold your hand 
but i miss you and your life 

there´s a full moon in the sky 
it makes me glad 
that there´s something pure 
in something that i had 
something good is all i need to feel alive 
a bottle of wine is all i have to hold 

but i think it´s all i´ve got 
you´ve taken all i got 
and i´m sorry to hold your hand 
but i miss you and your life

Candle song 3 

it´s christmas again so we lit all the candles 
and we tried to pretend that your room was a palace 
but we can´t seem to shake of the fear 
that nothing is different, that no-one has changed 
nothing has changed 

i stand by my lover as she stands by me 
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me 

we´ve been through the past and the pain 
the love that was lost 
and we know all the answers 
we´ve taken our chances and let them drift by 
its´ time to be free yeah it´s time to be free 
standing s close i can´t see you at all 

i stand by my lover as she stands by me 
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me 

but your books don´t say much about 
living your life like a thief 
yeah we´re handcuffed and chained 
we play games and play them out slowly 

i stand by my lover as she stands by me 
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me 

i stand by my lover as she stands by me 
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me

You´re beautiful 

velvet eyes are a part of me 
sunset smiles and secret tears 
time my life to a fallen leaf 
watch the spring in all it´s plumage 

beautiful like the stars at night 
twist and turn before the dawn 
beautiful like the moon at night 
ducks and dives into the sea 

curtains drawn you´ll miss the light 
you´re dawning spell will be broken 
vanished days are hard to find 
half life dreams will not be worth much 

beautiful like the stars at night 
twist and turn before the dawn 
beautiful like the moon at night 
ducks and dives into the sea

Where is the love 

jennifer says that you´ve changed 
she says that you´re talking so strange 
she laughed when i told her i´d messed 
you around, tried to be kind when i cried 

where is the life that we had 
where is the love 
where is the hand that i held 
where is the love 

sister don´t ask me 
i´m a fool i´m a liar 
and i can´t see home 

i saw you last week when you cried 
you threw me aside with a line 
wish that i could just tell you i care 
i love you i need you and i´m still scared 
cathy i´m cold i don´t mean to be bold 
but i need to find me again 
i´m wasted i´m fried i´m a fool i´m a liar 
but i need you to hold me again 

where is the life that we had 
where is the love 
where is the hand that i held 
where is the love 

sister don´t ask me 
i´m a fool i´m a liar 
and i can´t see home 

where is the life that we had 
where is the love 
where is the hand that i held 
where is the love

After all 

show your light to the real world 
they can´t see, thay can´t see 
show your heart to the whole world 
let them know, let them know 

after all we´re only looking for a light 
just someone to hold us close 
after all we´re only looking for a love 
just something to make it right 

show a smile if you´re lonely 
don´t break your heart, don´t break your heart 
just find something to believe in 
and hold it tight, hold it tight 

after all we´re only looking for a life 
just someone to hold us close 
after all we´re only looking for a love 
just something to make it right

Pictures 

the picture you gave me seemed so sad today 
secrets still hid behind your eyes 
blinded and foolish we seemed happy then 
i don´t believe i realised all your worth 

picture i´m cold and i can´t feel your warmth 
i can´t feel anything but i think it´s all that i 
picture i can´t see, one of us must be 
feeling down, feeling down 

you took me in you gave me life 
and you gave me love 
i´ve paid you back with disregard and lies 
if i love you now i loved you then 
if i miss you now i missed you then 
and i´m sorry, so sorry 

picture i´m cold and i can´t feel your warmth 
i can´t feel anything but i think it´s all that i 
picture i can´t see, one of us must be 
feeling down, feeling down 

and i feel alright 
i´m feeling just fine 
feeling just fine

Mercy 

your virgin light is a golden flame 
but it´s burning it´s burning fast now 
you crossed the line and you made a choice 
you hurt the one you love now he needs you 

mercy i can´t see your heart 
i can´t feel your love 
mercy i can´t see your heart 
i can´t feel your love 

your life is like a song you´re living like a fool 
you´re living like a fool but i can´t tell you right 
you´re taking all the time you´re taking all my time 
you´re living like a fool 
and i can´t tell you right 

mercy i can´t see your heart 
i can´t feel your love 
mercy i can´t see your heart 
i can´t feel your love
