Slipping away 'til it's dim in the dark
the flame that was strong has become just a spark
but i'll wait for you
Now when we talk your eyes look away
the thing that we had has wandered astray
I'll wait for you
Further and further we're drifting apart
we knew this would happen right from start
but i'll wait for you
caught up in troubles that don't mean a thing
you're ready to fly for a prayer on a wing
but i'll wait for you
Say you were never in love with me
but i'll still wait for you
Oh it's just the way it's meant to be
you tell me no but in won't be long before you see
you're walking back to me
The road you are following it's a dead end
and who will be there when you need a real friend
I will wait
how are we gonna get back to the start
they're too close to home these matters of heart
Say you were never in love with me
but i'll still wait for you
Oh it's just the way it's meant to be
you tell me no but in won't be long before you see
you're walking back to me
you're walking back to me
Ducking and diving
sneaking and hiding
these worries
and these troubles
don't you know
they'll catch up with you
you're walking back
you're walking back to me
Oh it's just the way it's meant to be
you tell me no but in won't be long before you see
you're walking back to me
. . .

It dosen't really matter much
If you think I'm right or wrong
Don't even think about it
Breaking up a happy home
You said you'd care for me
Said you'd be there
But your're mistaken if you think I've
Wasted my time
You don't fool me
'Cos I know what's going on
The way you just walk out of here
As if there were nothing wrong
Imagine nowhere to turn
When will you see
That you're mistaken if you think I've
Wasted my time
Your love is all
I have to hold
From this day forth
We carry on
For good or bad
You have my soul
Your love is all forever more
Did you ever did you never
Did you think of me at all
You'd better both start listening
'Cos I'm tearing down this wall
You must believe in me
Don't ever leave
'Cos you're mistaken if you think I've wasted my time
Your love is all
I have to hold
From this day forth
We carry on
For good or bad
You have my soul
Your love is all forever more
. . .

All that I have is all that you've given me
did you ever worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true
Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
when you realise that you're not the only one
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop
Time after time I've tried to walk away
but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop
Stop if love me
(you will remember)
now's the time to be sorry
(that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Been waiting for this train to come
Could be an hour or maybe some
Don't want to be here anymore
Do you have any idea
How long I've waited for this train
Picking up people along the way
A roller coaster another day
Climb aboard and slam the door
Don't want to be tied here anymore
Oh and it makes me wonder
Oh and it makes me wonder
If you need it if you don't
Could you leave it all to be alone
And it makes me wonder
Been waiting for this day too long
Looking for somewhere to run
Taking a ticket the other way
You'd better make up your mind
If you go or if you stay
. . .

Take it all
I would willingly give you everything
this could fall
if you want it to
or we could take this time now and move
I don't want to lose it
I don't want to lose it all
I don't want to lose this feeling
Where you are
is it really where you want to be
has it gone too far
did you want it to
is this time to find out and move
I don't want to lose it
I don't want to lose it all
I don't want to lose this feeling
. . .

Oh how I love my tea
tea in the afternoon
I can't do without it
and I think I'll have
another cup very soon
. . .

I saw a bit of silver shining in a puddle
I was gonna pick it up
but I didn't want to get my hands muddy
I saw you leap in
so quick to jump in
I saw the look in your eyes
searching for something
You want a piece of my luck
go ahead and take it
you want a piece of my cake
when I haven't even baked it
you want a piece of my head
when I haven't even maked it
you want a piece of my luck
go ahead and take it
I went a walking under a ladder
the bucked fell on your head
that didn't matter
I saw you falling thought you were crying
I saw the look in your face
knew your were lying
You want a piece of my luck
go ahead and take it
you want a piece of my cake
when I haven't even baked it
you want a piece of my head
when I haven't even maked it
you want a piece of my luck
go ahead and take it
. . .

With your ball and chain
I watch you tumble down
Are you sure you're sane
In your dream time town
Breaking glass
Shouted screams
They're unimportant sounds
In your broken dream
You're running around living it up
Running around giving it up
Oh oh
You're running around living it up
Oh oh
You're running around giving it up
Oh oh ooh
Well you're completely mad
It's time to go back to school
It's just a little sad
The way you play the fool
It's no surprise
When i hear you say
You're just as bad
There's nothing I can say
You're running around living it up
Running around giving it up
Oh oh
You're running around living it up
Oh oh
You're running around giving it up
Oh oh ooh
. . .

I don't remember
I can't recall the last time
we laughed together
you always say we'll be fine
you're down on your luck
you're taking it out on me
but when you want to enough
you know you've go to
wrap me up in your love
wrap me up never stop
you will surrender
tor the first and the last time?f
we belong together
I know you'll always be mine
it's all just a game
I sit and I wait for you
it's easy to play
you've only go to
wrap me up in your love
wrap me up never stop
It's all just a game
I sit and I wait for you
it's easy to play
you've only go to
wrap me up in your love
wrap me up never stop
. . .

If you need a reason to remain
think of me
how I tried to tell you
you were blind you would not see
you know it doesn't matter
if you're near or far away
anything I can do
I will do to make you stay
I'll be in love
Who am I to tell you
where to go or what to say
we could have a problem
to be solved it's not too late
take a piece of freedom
wrap it up and throw it away
you know it doesn't matter
just as long as you will stay
I'll be in love
I'll be in love
when you're lonely
I'll be alone
waiting longing for your touch
I'll be in love
. . .

Bitten nails handfuls of hair
head in her hands sat on the stairs
bitter tears locked up inside
figting her heart figting her mind
It's merry go round
you can never get off
it's merry go round
it will never stop
what is she wife keeper or friend
she has no more give or lend
and someone said
"What is full of care
we have no time to stand and stare"
It's merry go round
you can never get off
it's merry go round
it will never stop
she has to break away
she wants to leave
now she has made her own bed
but she can't sleep
It's merry go round
you can never get off
it's merry go round
it will never stop
. . .

Out on the street wiht his dreams in his pocket
A handful of nothing but a lot of heart
he says 'i'm gonna make it I'll take on the world
gonna make things better than the way they are'
feast or famine fortune or fold
sometimes you just don't know
you roll the dice with your heart and soul
but sometimes you just don't know
live it on the line or hide in a hole
but sometimes you just don't know
When the longer you try and the harder it seems
you know that you'll find what wl be will be
don't give up when the doors won't open
keep on trying 'cos you hold the key
feast or famine fortune or fold
sometimes you just don't know
you roll the dice with your heart and soul
but sometimes you just don't know
live it on the line or hide in a hole
but sometimes you just don't know
. . .

Listen everybody
especially you boys
it is right to be left alone
when the one you love is never home
I love too hard
my friends sometimes say
but I believe I believe
that a man should be loved that way
but it hurts me so inside
to see him treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere
tell him it's unfair
can I get a witness
can I get a witness
can I get a witness
somebody
Is it right to be trated so bad
when you've given everything you've had
even tossin' in sleep cause I
haven't see my baby all week
now all you boys agree
that this ain't the way love's supposed to be
let me hear you let me hear you say yeah
Up early in the morning with him on my mind
just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
but I believe that a woman's a man's best friend
and I'm gonna stick by him till the very end
'cause he's caused so much misery
that I forget how love's supposed to be
Somebody somewhere
tell him it's unfair
can I get a witness
can I get a witness
can I get a witness
I want a witness
witness witness
. . .

High as kite
lighter than light
you sit up there
with nothing to loose
taken it in
refusin to move
but I need to know
Who stays who goes
don't you know I can't let go
there's no place like home
don't you know I can't let go
Time and again
I shake the fence
when will you know
take it or leave it
when you come down
I'll start to believe it's
time to decide
Who stays who goes
don't you know I can't let go
there's no place like home
don't you know I can't let go
