STANDING IN THE SHADOWS

Today my heart is heavy
I'm weak and feeling down
I guess with all this sorrow
Stops my world from spinning round
I'm a man that's lost control
Without a reason to live
Standing in te shadows
With nothing else to give

I want to walk out from the shadows
To where the morning sun shines through
Take each day as it comes
And live the life that I once knew

But sadness rushes through my veins
Instaed of flowing blood
I've nothing in abundance
To help me fight the flood
I'm a soul within a body
That just can't help but live
Standing in the shadows
With nothing else to give

I want to walk out from the shadows
To where the morning sun shines through
Take each day as it comes
And live the life that I once knew

Beneath grey skies I walk alone
In this world of so much uncertainty
My life revolves around being on my own
And walking on to eternity

I pretend I'm unaffected
By the load that weighs me down
So nobody really knows
That my worlds stopped spinning round
Like a fish out of water
But given a will to live
Standig in the shadows
With nothing else to give

I want to walk out from the shadows
To where the morning sun shines through
Take each day as it comes
And live the life that I once knew

But I'm standing in the shadows
Just standing in the shadows

IF I COULD TURN BACK THE PAGE

These days get harder
And I'm staring at old father times
There's very little in the larder
And the mirror on the wall shows only lines

If I could turn back the page 
Or hold back the hands of time  
If only I could turn back the page 
And chase away this inner rage 

The nights are lonely
And I'm sitting by the fire
There are no dreams now
Just the scars of their desire

If I could turn back the page
Or hold back the hands of time
If only I could turn back the page
And chase away this inner rage

They say there's no looking back
So what does the future hold
There's no colour only black
No warmth only the cold

The wealthy did alright
In whatever this world gave
While the rest of us were left
To be thankful for what we have 

If we could turn back the page
Or turn back the hands of time 
If only we could turn back the page

MOON OVER MIAMI

There's a beautiful Moon over Miami
In a sky of countless stars
There's an air of mystery and magic
Like no other I will ever see 

I will always remember that night
Whereever I travel to
For that beautiful Moon over Miami
Is a memory that will always shine through

There's a beautiful Moon Over Miami
In a sky so peaceful and quiet
It's a sight that I'll never forget
Or one I'll never see again

I will always remember that night
Whereever I travel to
For that beautiful Moon over Miami
Is a memory that will always shine through 

Yes, I will never forget that night
No matter how long I live this life
For that beautiful Moon ove Miami
Will stay with me for the rest of my llife

Picture

The weary traveller
Walks on the road
He's feeling tired
He's Concentration lost
He knows only memories
And keeps a picture
Of his previous life

Always ready to
Move on and accept
The changes to come
And when they do
He sees a different life
And knows the picture
Will always remind him

On the road
Comes turbulent times
A feeling of fear
Nowhere to hide
He knows he could die
But holds his picture
That reminds him of home

So where to now
If the tide should turn
What is left to offer?
And is there anything to learn
If freedom is the way
To hold a picture

This Side Of Heaven

No more sunshine, no more rain
No more laughter, no more pain
I saw my life fading fast
Just like dreams that never last.

Only sorrow, only fears
Just like when you're crying tears
All my senses have now gone
The mind and body weak and can't go on.

This side of heaven
This time in my life
No longer upright
It's all too clear 

This side of heaven
Out in the dark night
I'm feeling uptight
Now, your not here...

I've seen the devil at my door
Has my god forsaken me once more?
I prayed and found my love for you
Are you ready to pull me through?.

This side of heaven
Out in the dark night
I'm feeling uptight
Now, your not here

I prayed and found
My love for you
Are you ready
To help me through.

This side of heaven
This time in my life
No longer upright
It's all too clear

This side of heaven
Out in the dark night
I'm feeling so uptight
Now, your not here

Now, your not here...

Loving You

If loving you Tia, yes loving you
Is more than music to our ears
Then this love we have for you
Is more than what we are in years.

This is the time to say it's right
To want someone more than anything
To walk from darkness into light
Then what else can life bring.

Loving you, Tia 
Knowing we need nothing more
Loving you, Tia 
Love, like we've never known before
Then loving you, Tia 
Is all that we live for
All that we live for 

Like the air that we breathe
And the steps that we take
Like the summer breeze
You're the dream when we're awake.

You're a star that's more than bright
Standing out from all the rest
Blinding everything in sight
Beautiful, elegant, just simply the best.

Loving you, Tia 
Knowing we need nothing more
Loving you, Tia 
Love, like we've never known before
Then loving you, Tia 
Is all that wqe live for
All that e live for. 

Yes, loving you, Tia 
Is all that we live for.

Lady Of My Dreams

She walks through my dreams
In silky white satin
She's dancin' on water it seems
I watch her come closer, closer within.

She glides through my night
So delightful and quiet
Who knows what she feels
With the wind at heels.

She's the lady of my dreams
So gentle in full flight
She's the lady of my dreams
That no other can delight
Ooh, she's the lady of my dreams.

There's something about the way she steals
Every heart she glides into
I wish I knew what she feels
when she rides on through the night.

Through the trees 
The Moon shines bright 
The lady of my dreams
Is fading from my sight. 

She's the lady of my draems
So gentle in full flight
She's the lady of my dreams
That no other can delight
Ooh, she's the lady of my dreams.

Ooh, she's the lady of my dreams
Yeah, she's the lady of my dreams.

It's Winter-Time

It's winter-time
Grey skies rolling over
Frost covers country lanes and fields
little robins dancing here and there
The tree tops glisten
And some of us are dreaming
Dreaming ...

It's peaceful and quiet
Winter-time in all her glory
There's an air of magic
And a Christmas story
The new laid snow has left a winter scene
With all those dreams
You hold so close to your heart. 

The evening surrounds
The mellow Moon looks on
Infants waiting in excitement
But some will be forlorn
And the waiting long
Some still dreaming
Dreaming ...

You, your family and friends
Sitting round the fireside
The happiness never ends
And there's a warm atmosphere
For everyone here.

It's peaceful and quiet
Winter-time in all her glory
There's an air of magic
And a Christmas story
The new laid snow has left a winter scene
With all those dreams
You hold so close to your heart.

Dreams
Dreams you hold
So close to your heart

The Other Side Of Paradise

On our street's we see them day by day
Knights of the road hanging on to zero
We watch, stare, but don't really care
For the life of the downtrodden hero.

They live in life's shadow
On the other side of paradise
To survive they beg or borrow
But are always penniless.

Cold doorways or cardboard boxes are their home
Onwards to nowhere finds only strife
The penniless prince is forced to roam
Where abuse and mockery is a way of life.

They live in life's shadow
On the other side of paradise
For them there is only sorrow
And a life of homelessness.

Tired and forlorn they look as they travel along
Shuffling their weary way between reality and hell
The Queen has fallen, the King lives on
To suffer more, too much to tell.

They live in life's shadow
On the other side of paradise
For them there is no tomorrow
Only this life of loneliness.
