Fresh Wind

Night's as dark as dark can be
And winter's oh, so cold
The light seems like a fantasy
Or a legend we've been told

I was wondering if spring would come
But now I think I see

A fresh wind blowin'
A new love growin'
I'm as happy as a man can be

Sometimes the truth is hard to see
When fear gets in your eye
But there are some things in this world
You'll always recognize
True as steel, straight as an arrow
That pierces to the heart of me
A fresh wind blowin'
A new love growin'
I'm as happy as a man can be

If the earth is turning
And the sun is burning
Then it's all right with me
A fresh wind blowin'
A new love growin'
I'm as happy as a man can be

A fresh wind blowin'
A new love growin'
I'm as happy as a man can be

A fresh wind blowin'
A new love growin'

Dance With Me

*   Dance with me
I want to be your partner
Can't you see
The music is just starting
Night is calling
And I am falling
Dance With Me

Fantasy
Could never be so killing
I feel free
I hope that you are willing
Pick the beat up
And kick your feet up
Dance With me

**   Let it lift you of the ground
Starry eyes and love is all around us
I can take you where
You want to go, oh

(*repeat)
(**repeat)

Time Passes On

Time passes on
Like a river that must always run
Now you are gone
But I will have you till time is done
You can never take away
The love you gave me yesterday,
I don’t have to capture you
‘Cause you’re here in my memory

My life goes on
Like a song that is never still
I sing that song
To the emptiness I’ll never fill
I don’t need your photograph
To see your face in front of me
We may never touch again
But you’re here in this melody

What once was will always be
And you’ve left your imprint on me
Sometimes I think it’s the spark of conflict
With which we affect most heavily
But I hope if you think of me
You’ll remember only harmony and
And time passes on...
Time passes on
 Like a river that must always run;
Now you are gone but I will have you till time is done.
You can never take away
The love you gave me yesterday,
And I don’t have to capture you
‘Cause you’re here in my memory.

Your Life My Friend

There you are at a fork in the road
Don't know where you're going
So you're just going slow
You're afraid if you have to choose
You win less than you lose

Don't you know..
Everybody's got to take a chance
Everybody's go to make a stand
You'll be choosing in the end
Cause this is your life, my friend

Ain't nobody can put the ropes on you
But keeping your freedom
Has you tied up, too
While you sit trying to decide
There's so many things that you
Could have tried

*   Everybody's got to take a chance
Everybody's go to make a stand
You'll be choosing in the end
Cause this is your life, my friend

Something final in a closing door
Reminds you that you're not so
Young anymore
And you see your death presaged
The turning of a heart
The turning of a page

(*repeat 2x)

Let There Be Music

When the world was in trouble
And it looked like there was hell to pay
Fire, fire everywhere
And the news got worse each day
Well people really wondered
Just how long they could hold out
God looked down from heaven above
And he began to shout

*   Let there be music
Let it shine like the sun
Let there be music
Everybody's got to have some fun

It's so hard to keep on smilin'
When people try to make you frown
But we're all in this together
So why bring one another down
You know we can't expect our problems
To grow wings and fly away
So fight the fight just as hard as you can
And when it's time for you to play

Business As Usual

You don't like the picture
You can't believe in what you see
But your future seems as distant
As something on TV
So you shake your head
And talk about it to your friends
But it's business as usual
Watching as the world ends
 
Can you see the sadness
In somebody else's eyes
Can you hear above the madness
When a starving baby cries
Or will you sit around
And talk about it with you friends
And it's business as usual
Watching as the world ends

Guitar Solo

You could get into the picture
You could try to turn the tide
It might seem impossible
But you won't know until you've tried
Well you sit around
And talk about it with your friends
And it's business as usual
Is this the way the world ends?

Business as usual
(fade out)

Cold Spell

Signs are in the air
We spent it all too quickly
No one seems to care
Until there cup is empty

We fought and we survived
To find we are too many
And now there's no more
Left to pour
From the horn of plenty

*   Well the summer lulled us
Into dreams
And we didn't plan ahead
Too well
Now it looks like were in
For a long
Cold spell

Tell me what you see
Underneath your microscope
Tell me what you hear
In your giant telescope
I would like to know
If there's something to my fear
That we'll be fossil fuel
In another million years

(*repeat)

Guitar Solo

Ending Of A Song

When I look into the mirror of her eyes
I see all my visions fading
Into lines of broken dreams
A map of traveled roads with
Dead-end signs
A folded pair of jeans with worn-out seams
When I stare into the sorrow of her eyes
I see all the doors unaltered
By the scars of many years
Of pounding as I tried to get inside
But now the lock's grown rusty with her tears

*   Sometimes I feel her eyes are closing
To my smile
The music man's been gone for far too long
I just can't hold her love across the miles
But it's hard to face the ending of a song
 
When I gaze into the future of her eyes
I see that I must turn away
And struggle to be strong
For she and I may have to say goodbye
And it's sad hard to face the thought
That maybe we were wrong

(*repeat 2x)

Give One Heart

Love, I am told is the deepest mystery
Harder to fathom than any sea
More precious than all the earth and sky
But nobody can tell you why

*  You give one heart
You get back two
That's the paradox
Of I love you
Said when you give your heart
You get one, too
That's the paradox
Of I love you

If it is love for which you've cried
You know how it feels on the moon's dark side
But if you baby loves you right
You can have sky rockets any old night

**   Give one heart
You get back two
That's the paradox
Of I love you
And you can't help saying it
I love you
Keep on saying it
I love you
You can't stop saying it
I love you
I won't stop until you say it too

Love can be gentle, soft and tame
Or so rough you wouldn't know its name
Shy and wild like a runaway child
Storms of love always end up mild
Give one heart

(*repeat)
(**repeat)

You've Given Me Something

Once there was an ocean
Covering all the land
And the future lay sleeping
Upon its sandy bed

No strong emotion
Shook my steady hand
But a longing lay
Beneath the surface of the life I led

I thought I had it all worked out
And I knew the score
Till you came along and showed me something
That meant much more

*   You've given me something
That I've never had before
Like the magic in the night
When I'm walking next to you

You've given me something
That can open any door
So open up and let me give
That magic back to you

The things that I called mine
Were the finest of the fine
With beauty, race and laughter
My life was blessed

I traveled around the planet
Acting like I ran it
I had the best
I didn't need the rest

They all thought of me as a man
Who had everything
But I never dreamed of the happiness
Your love could bring
And you've given me something
That I've never had before
Like the magic in the night
When I'm walking next to you
 
You've given me something
That can open any door
So open up your heart
And let me give
That magic back to you

(*repeat)

There's no doubt about it
Love can open any door
So open up your heart
And let me give
That magic back to you
