1. SURELY

Only if I lied could I love you
Nothing of our lives could we share
Only could we try to get by on a sigh
Just because, just this once, I was there.


2. IT'S A LONG ROAD

Well the road I see before me
Threatens pain at every bend, yeah
Well my needs are mine, I understand
And hope to calling friends
Well, good company, it may comfort me
But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way

Now your love it gave me sorrow
And a broken heart to mend, yeah
So I took me to this lonely road
My sweet hopes, to defend
Oh and why pretend, I won't look back
Even though the love of a happy man waits before

Well, the winter wind blows chilly
And the road is dark and gray
So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the way

Oh, I'm left alone without a home
Makes a man ask why he travels on
When hope is gone

It's a long road
It's a long road
It's a long road
It's a long road


3. AUBADE AND I AM NOT LIKE OTHER BIRDS OF PREY

Morning at last, every night is a fight 'till your waking
Dreams dancing fast, through the silence of sleep dawn is breaking
I wait, and watch them 'till they
And I am not like other birds of prey
And I am not like other birds of prey

A night is long, you are needing me
For when ???? I'm there to see
That the hopes know when

Soft is my is my flat
And my eyes come alies that is tacking
Life is my right
And in sleeps little bed
I protect you
So hear, let my presence ?dissme?
And I am not like other birds of prey
And I am not like other birds of prey

When homes are young and your cares are few
Then I saw ?rabove? keeping truth in you
And my maim is love


4. WORDS UNSPOKEN

Why sing a lonely song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why loose a heart that isn't broken?
It isn't broken, it can't be broken

Life's just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never spoken

Sweet things come and go
Give me shame, I'll give you wow
To live for love isn't so easy
It isn't easy, it won't be easy!

How all good men try,
Look around and wonder why
Can they shape this world to please me
Can they please me, should they please me?

I follow but maybe you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
For I am your gentle man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a sundown
And show you who I am

Send me a gentle dream
of love so strange it's never seen
And proof how such a love can happen
It can happen, make it happen

Fine things tumble down
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or slacken
Never slacken, never slacken

I follow but maybe you'll correct me
I wish you'd never met me
I am your gentle man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a sundown
And show you who I am


5. MAYBE I'M A BEGGAR

I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense
Long ago I had a dream but that's no ?reconvenes?
My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
My mother told me God is love
But hatred makes the rules

Teach me to fly, so I ?shall? drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky, I will would take the whole world in my hand

Well, don't you tell me that cannot last at all
Before you know I'll come and go
And make you if I can
Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your symphony
They throw away the gentle love
that keep their ?pan? for me

Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?

Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your symphony
They throw away the gentle love
that keep their ?pan? for me
Teach me to fly, so I ?shall? drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky, I will would take the whole world in my hand
Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?


6. HOME AGAIN

Many is the time that a dream has gone wrong
When you're with me
Many is the time when the blame went to you
Please forgive me
But the truth is my friend
And the world isn't quite as I thought it to be
Oh no, I wish I were back home again
Oh no, I wish I were back home again
Oh no, I wish I were back home again
La la la, I wish I were back home again


7. NOTHING TO SHOW

Nothing to show beyond the fear I had
Body so warm within his perfumed bed
Sleeping alone, the shadow of a man
He will entice you too, and if he can
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing is handed, power is changing fast
Many the empty hopes his lips caress
Sorry to say his days are spent in vain
Chasing a dream of doom of nights in pain
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been

Shadowy nights of memories of the grave
Gentle my love and sweetness sometimes sick
Keep up his time while his crimes are known
Only a fool can see he's sold his love
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been
Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been...


8. SHADOW SONG

Did your shadow ever speak to you?
And did he say that something's wrong?
Only a figure on a lamplit wall
Never realized he cared at all
Did he stop you going on?

Guess my shadow spoke to me tonight
And made me throw my dreams away
Told a story of a twisted man
Who was playing with some foolish plan
'Bout a girl who had flew away

Sometimes shadows are near
I see things very clear: my life unwinds
Somewhere I'll make my stand
Look around at yesterday
And change my mind

Now your shadow isn't always there
In the light of cloudy days
Or in circles where you hide from view
All the dust that ever bothered you
And where people loose your name'


9. TRY AGAIN

It's been a long time (long time),
We shouldn't of left you (left you),
Without a dope beat to step to
(Step to, step to, step to, step to).
It's been a long time (long time),
We shouldn't of left you (left you),
Without a dope beat to step to
(Step to, step to, step to, step to).

What would you do, to get to me?
What would you say, to have your way?
Would you give it up or try again?
If I hesitate to let you in?
Now would you be yourself, or play a role?
Tell all the boys, or keep it low?
If I say no, would you turn away,
Or play me off or would you stay?
Oh

(Chorus)
If at first you don't succeed
(First you don't succeed),
Dust yourself off, and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
(First you don't succeed),
Dust yourself off, and try again
You can dust it off and try again,
Dust yourself off and try again, try again

I'm into you, you into me?
But I can't let it go, so easily.
Not 'till I see, where this could be,
Could be eternally, or just week.
You know our chemistry, it's off the chain.
It's perfect now, but will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no.
Just do your thang, and we'll see how it goes.
Ooooh

(Chorus)

See you don't wanna throw it all away.
I might be shy on the first day,
But what about the next day? (huh, huh, huh, huh)
See you don't wanna throw it all away.
I might be buggin' on the first day,
But what about the next day? (huh, huh, huh, huh)

(Chorus)

It's been a long time (long time),
We shouldn't of left you (left you),
Without a dope beat to step to
(Step to, step to, step to, step to)


10. SURELY

Surely there's a way I could please you
Only in your past lie the tears
Surely there's a day you can say went your way
Some illusion you can keep through the years

Only if I lied could I love you
Nothing of our lives could we share
Only could we try to get by on a sigh
Just because, just this once, I was there
