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
