My Song (Schinder / Doherty)
keep me in your heart tonight
may the stars keep shining bright
I hope this night will not slip away
wishing it could last another day
sit with me -- here for a while
tell me stories -- from when you were a child
I will listen -- I will take time
just to heal -- your aching heart
and you will always have my song...
and you will always have my song...
I could be here forever with you
let the seasons -- just come and go
and I will sing to you while you're asleep
and give you words and -- my soul to keep
sit with me -- here for a while
tell me stories -- from when you were a child
I will listen -- I will take time
just to heal -- your aching heart
and you will always have my song...
and you will always have my song...

(Schinder)
I saw you on Monday
Loved you on Tuesday
Wednesday broke my heart
Thursdays madness
Made my Friday dark
Saturday: youre back
I think youd know by now
Your beauty makes me shiver
I cannot hold it back
For all I know, you shake my world.
And the summer
In your misty eyes
Melts the ice in mine.
I think youd know by now
Your beauty makes me shiver
I cannot hold it back
For all I know, you shake my world.
Theres a moon trying to copy all your features
Theres a wind trying to blow away this love
Ill stick to this tune
While youre eyes are on me
For all I know: you take my breath away.

November's Song
03:28
|
|||
|
(Schinder/Doherty)
She wakes up alone –
Another day’s gone
and she hasn’t lost her dedication –
As the morning comes
She stands to face the sun –
Bathing in the light,
Not falling into
Ooh, not falling into dark
Ooh, into the arms of dark
Yeah, the arms of dark…
She’s a dreamer –
dreamer with no anchor –
Sailing on the waves of her existence–
She’s a rolling stone –
gathering no moss -
She is as peaceful
as a child that’s breathing,
Breathing out innocence & love –
Ooh, innocence & love -
Another day - has - come and gone –
is there another heart -in this world -
For her heart - to touch?
Another day - has come - and gone –
for November’s song –

Bird On My Chest

|
(Schinder)
I got a bird on my chest
Asleep in her wisdom
She has chosen her nest
She doesn’t want freedom
So what can I do
But give her my kingdom?
Oh, what can I do
Oh, but shut my eyes and breath her?
Got a mermaid in land
She’s singing our future
She seems happy in my cage
She’s feeding from my hand
So what can I do
But love her forever?
Yeah, what can I do
But be all she says I am?
(I know I) have to let you go
yes I have to let you go
yes I have to let you go
but I won't
no I won’t
no I won’t
Yesterday I woke up, my windows were open
She was kissing my lips, smiling at me again
So what can I do
But give her my kingdom?
Oh, what can I do
Oh, but shut my eyes and breath her?
(I know I) have to let you go
yes, I have to let you go
yes I have to let you go
but I won't
no I won’t
no I won’t

Forever Hold Your Peace
03:49

|
(Schinder/Doherty)
Am I too late, my love?
I can't remember now.
I'm thinking of the end
before the start begins.
no stars in our sky:
I'm slowly breaking through
I want you to love me
or forever hold your peace.
I try to remember, love
who I was before.
I just have to let it go
before it breaks my soul.
no stars in our sky:
I'm slowly breaking through
I want you to love me
or forever hold your peace.
oooh
I want you to feel me...

She Steals Love
03:13
|
|||
|
(Schinder / Doherty)
She steals the beats from your heart
Yet you go back for more
She calls your name
The sun goes down,
Rising up - your shame
Now - all of your heart is in her hands
She - is all that love pretends to be
Telling you love - is flowing free
She lives in a world,
A world that no one but her can see
And as you call her name – the echo -
Comes back to you – as pain
Now - all of your heart is in her hands
She - is all that love pretends to be
Telling you love - is flowing free
Now - all of your heart is in her hands
She - is all that - love pretends to be
Telling you love - is flowing free
Yes, she steals love from you
Yes, she steals love from you
Yes, she steals love from you

End of Love
04:23
|
|||
|
(Schinder/ Doherty)
I SPENT THE SUMMER LYING IN YOUR LOVE
HOPING TO CATCH THE CONNECTION
I GAZED AT LOVE ALL - SUMMER LONG
JUST OVER COMING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
YOU SHOWED ME THAT YOUR HEART
IT WAS NO LONGER MY HOME
THE END OF SUMMER CAME:
THOUGH WE NEVER SAW IT FADE,
AND WITH IT CAME THE END OF LOVE.
THE WORDS I WRITE NOW TUMBLE FROM MY PAGE
THEY GET SWEPT UP FROM THE FLOOR
YOU SHOWED MY HEART AN - OPEN DOOR
YOU KEPT THE KEY TO YOURSELF
I’M WATCHING THE LIGHT FALL
FROM THE DYING SUMMER NIGHTS
I WANT TO FEEL NO PAIN
AND I WANT TO FEEL NO LOVE
ALL I SEE IS
THE END OF LOVE
NO ENDLESS RAIN FROM ABOVE
THE END OF LOVE
NO SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TO REACH YOUR GHOST
THE END OF LOVE
I WANT TO FEEL NO PAIN OR LOVE
THE END OF LOVE
ALL I NEED IS THE END OF LOVE

Still (Bluebird)
03:35
|
|||
|
(Schinder/Doherty)
In my waking hour
I see your beautiful face
And my heart belongs to you again –
In the dead of night – my pain –
Wakes me to - remember…
That my heart belongs to you, girl
The French lavender is doing well
It reminds me of your smile -
and the doorbell still needs fixing-
The day is dark, the lights are on –
Your chair is still as before –
I’m waiting for you to walk thru our door –
Blue bird
on our window
Little blue bird
Brings it back to me
That I love you still
Yes, I do, love
As I close my eyes
I am yours again.
Memories hanging in the air –
And dreaming of you takes me there.
As I close my eyes –
I am yours again -
Blue bird
on our window
Little blue bird
Brings it back to me
That I love you still
Yes, I do, love
As I close my eyes
I am yours again.
Yes, I love you still
Yes, I do, love
As I close my eyes
I am yours again.

Whirlpool
04:02
|
|||
|
(Schinder / Doherty)
Those silly games the lovers play
The whirlpools edge, the whirlpools edge
Under one moon we live and die
Let's spend time at the whirlpools edge
Here we are, the waters edge
too close to look within without loosing our depth
Stolen moments, empty space
how long it took to fall far from your grace, my love?
Those silly games the lovers play
The whirlpools edge, the whirlpools edge
Under one moon we live and die
Let's spend time at the whirlpools edge
Changing seasons, you & me
Our lives just caught between the devil & the deep blue sea
your brew made me shrink so small
a lesson I had to learn, a lesson I had to learn
Those silly games the lovers play
The whirlpools edge, the whirlpools edge
Under one moon we live and die
Let's spend time at the whirlpools edge

Dreamcatcher

(Schinder/Doherty)
I took out an old diary --
Written words to catch my dreams
I'd forgotten all about it --
A place & time lost to the world
A place & time lost to the world
Yet it feels so real to me --
Those past dreams are still in me --
I'd forgotten Dreams are dreams
if you're sleeping or awake --
those yellow pages brought them back:
I want to live them all again
Each and every single day.
Ah, Endless days
I thought they'd always last --
Looking at the past
like a photograph,
Putting them in my book
of the here & now
Catching all my dreams
for today...
I took out an old diary --
Written words to catch my dreams
I'd forgotten all about it --
A place & time lost to the world
A place & time lost to the world
Yet it feels so real to me --
I read every single word
I traced my finger over them
Lost written lines. And now
I dedicate my past to me,
my future and my symphonies.
And with these lines I set me free...
Ah, Endless days
I thought they'd always last --
Looking at the past
like a photograph,
Putting them in my book
of the here & now
Catching all my dreams
for today...
for today...
for today...

The Dancer

|
(Schinder)
Before I go away
I think I wanna see you dancing
I can tell by your eyes
There ain't nothing that can break you
I know I won't be here to hold your hand
But I'll be watching every single step
That you take for me, my love.
Who's to say what's wrong?
Who's to say what's gonna save us?
An ocean's not enough
To keep your smile from being within me
I know I won't be here to hold your hand
But I'll be watching every single step
That you take for me, my love.
Nothing's impossible
Nothing's strong enough
To stop your flight...
