1: Only When I Sleep

You're only just a dream boat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappeared
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm working through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep

It's reaching through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Only when I sleep

2: What Can I Do

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we have talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more aching, no more
No more fighting, no more trying

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

Just tell me what to do
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What will I say to make you feel this
What will I do to get you there

Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me

3: Radio

Its late at night and I'm feeling down
There's a couple standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sighs

So I step inside, pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for something to occupy my mind

But you are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swiming forever

So listen to the radio listen to the radio
And all the songs we use to know
So listen to the radio listen to the radio
Remember where we used to go

Now its morning light and its cold outside
Caught up in a distant dream
I turn and think that you are by my side
So I leave my bed and I try to dress
Wondering why my mind plays tricks
And fools me in to thinking you are there

But your just in my head
Swiming forever in my head
Not lying in my bed
Just swiming forever

So listen to the radio listen to the radio
And all the songs we use to know
So listen to the radio listen to the radio
Remember where we used to go
I listen to the radio listen to the radio
And all the songs we use to know
I listen to the radio listen to the radio
Remember how it used to go

You are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swiming forever swiming forever
Swiming forever

So listen to the radio listen to the radio
And all the songs we use to know
So listen to the radio listen to the radio
Remember where we used to go
I'm listening to the radio listen to the radio
To all the songs we use to know
I'm listening to the radio listen to the radio
To all the songs we use to know
Songs we used to know

4: Toss the Feather

Instrumental

5: Runaway

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you
I am not alone, tell me you feel it too
And I would runaway
I would runaway, yeah
I would runaway
I would runaway with you

Cause I have fallen in love fallen in love
With you, no never have
I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you

Close the door, lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight, make love to me through the night
Cause I have runaway, I have runaway, yeah
I have runaway, oh runaway, runaway with you

Cause I have fallen in love fallen in love
With you, no never have
I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you, with you

And I would runaway
I would runaway, yeah
I would runaway, runaway, runaway with you

Cause I have fallen in love fallen in love
With you, no never have
I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you
I'm fallen in love, with you
No never, I'm never gonna stop falling in love, with you
With you

Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway with you

6: Forgiven, Not Forgotten

All alone, staring on
Watching her life go by
When her days are grey
And her nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one-eyed furry toy
That lies upon the bed
Has often heard her cry
And heard her whisper out a name
Long forgiven, but not forgotten

You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten

A bleeding heart torn apart
Left on an icy grave
And the room where they once lay
Face to face
Nothing could get in their way
But now the memories of the man
Are haunting her days
And the craving never fades
She's still dreaming of the man
Long forgiven, but not forgotten

You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten

Still alone, staring on
Wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man
Long forgiven, but not forgotten

You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten

You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
No, you're not forgotten

7: At Your Side

When the daylight's gone and you're on your own
And you need a friend just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand
And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

It's like standing still and your soul's confused
And you cannot find one road to choose
If you make me stay, you can't let me down let me down
I will still believe, I will turn around turn around
And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

I'll be at your side, I'll be at your side
You know that I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go
Cause I'll be at your side
I'll be right there for you
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go
Cause I'm at your side
I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you
I'll be at your side

8: Little Wing

Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, it's alright she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind

9: No Frontiers

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose it's grip
And heaven has its way

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
And your heart is the pure flame of man's constant night

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose it's grip
And heaven has its way
And heaven has its way
When all will harmonise
And you know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

10: Queen Of Hollywood

She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

Yeah, yeah, she's believing in a dream
It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She is the Queen of Hollywood, the Queen of Hollywood

She is the Queen of Hollywood

11: Old Town

The girl's a fool, she broke the rules, she hurt him hard
This time he will break down
She's lost his trust and so she must know all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard, she plays it tough
But that's enough, the love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end he'll soon recover
The romance is over

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, yeah yeah
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, yah, yah, ha
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

I've been spending my money in the old town
It's not the same honey, with you not around
I've been spending my time in the old town
I sure miss you honey, when you're not around
When you're not around this old town

Ola

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, hehehe yeah
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, ha yhaha
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

12: Lough Erin Shore

Instrumental

13: So Young

We were taking it easy
Bright and breezy, yeah
And we are living it up
Just fine and dandy, yeah

We are caught in a haze
On these lazy summer days
We're spending all of our nights just
A laughing and kissing, yeah

And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter that we never sleep
It really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all

Coz we were so young then, we are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again

We are chasing the moon
Just running wild and free
We are following through
Every dream and every need

And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter that we never sleep
No, it really doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all

Cause we were so young then, we are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again
Yeah we are so young now, yeah, so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again, all again
Yeah, all again

Yeah we are so young now, yeah, so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again
Yeah we are so young now, yeah
We are so young
Yeah, we are so young

14: Everybody Hurts

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
When you think you've had enough of this life, hang on
Don't let yourself go, cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts, sometimes

Sometimes, sometimes everything is wrong
It's time to sing along.
When your day is night, hold on, hold on
If you feel like letting go hold on
If you're sure you've had too much of this life, hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Sometimes take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't blow your hand
Oh, no, don't blow your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own in this life, and the days and nights are long
When you're sure you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Cause everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Sometimes everybody hurts, sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause no you're not alone
