1. An Endless Flow
You're still alive, but older
Now the nights are gettin' colder
The jukebox in the corner
still plays the same old song
You've had enough of cryin'
The game's up, love's been dying
Too many times you've tried
once more you're proven wrong
Observing all the rules
broken careless just by fools
but still love's so much more
than a transient caprice
(so hold on to your dreams)
Cause love's an endless flow
that leaves no afterglow
to the beauty of our life
far away where passion's rife
Come stay with me tonight
let us keep the flame alight
Til the morning goes to show
I'll never let you go...
She might come like a shower
or in the wee small hours
Just wait until you've seen
the final curtain fall
No, it's not an illusion
in spite of your confusion
your heart's still beatin' and
one day you'll hear the call
They're playing different games
simply interchanging names
But they will never find
what you bear in your mind
(so hold on to your dreams)
Cause love's an endless flow
that leaves no afterglow
to the beauty of our life
far away where passion's rife
Come stay with me tonight
let us keep the flame alight
Til the morning goes to show
I'll never let you go...
2. Break My Heart Again
That New Year's Evening saw a star
We watched the fireworks afar
Your soft warm hand caressed my skin
we walked on ice that was too thin
The sparkling rain of light above
once more I promised you my love
all that was pure and good and true
so careless thrown away by you
That night we were waiting on the shore
for a light that shines no more
Yes, we were falling like the stars
too much gravitiy on Mars
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
Break my heart again
Break my heart again
Of all the promises you made
like coloured flags on a parade
flying against an April sky
How could I know the end was nigh?
You left me out there in the rain
as our love went down the drain
all of your little selfish lies
my faith in you was my demise!
That night we were waiting on the shore
for a light that shines no more
Yes, we were falling like the stars
too much gravitiy on Mars
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
Break my heart again
Break my heart again
From everything to nothing
in no time at all
Why can't you just come with me
before the bitter end
Maybe we pretend
We'd have a second chance
How I wished we'd had a chance
to start again
with our romance...
That night we were waiting on the shore
for a light that shines no more
Yes, we were falling like the stars:
Too much gravity on Mars!
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
Break my heart again
Break my heart again
Don't break my heart again
Don't...
3. It's So Easy
Walking down memory lane
just the other day
although you're gone
it seemed like you're there
As if this town was built of ruins
of the past
So, now it's over
but, Baby, what will last?
And our love's gone like the swallows
as cold begins to bite
I'm hiding in my hollows
for another night
You didn't mean to hurt me
but to our big surprise
you broke my heart not only once but twice
It's so easy hey hey
to reap the grapes of wrath
It's so easy hey hey
to lose the one you love
It's so easy hey hey
when push had come to shove
It's so easy hey hey
you went astray, my love
Another broken dream
turns over in its grave
I guess my memories are for sale
Your swaying back and forth
it made things really worse
At last it's over
I wonder what will last?
Oh, I never saw before
call me stupid, call me blind
this tacky final score
were those the windmills of your mind?
Not listening anymore
I guess I was a fool for love
and I'm cursing you and him and what you've got
It's so easy hey hey
to reap the grapes of wrath
It's so easy hey hey
to lose a precious love
It's so easy hey hey
when push had come to shove
It's so easy hey hey
you went astray, my love
I've seen it happen all before
something so good turned into sore
No, I didn't realize
I had to face the music on the other side
It's so easy hey hey
to reap the grapes of wrath
It's so easy hey hey
to lose the one you love
It's so easy hey hey
when push had come to shove
It's so easy hey hey
you went astray, my love
4. Last Night (I Wished You Were Calling)
Your last words trapped between these bedroom walls
"Why don't we just go away?"
I didn't know, what could I say?
If memories were like shining stars
If tears were diamonds
I'd build a castle in the skies
Last night I wished you were calling
I hoped that you were calling
I beat my fists against the wall
Threw withered roses in the lake
And as I called your name
a crying game, too late!
But you can't hurt me anymore
your double-dealing love
creeped out through my heart's back door
Last night I wished you were calling
I hoped that you were calling
I beat my fists against the wall
Still beat my head against the wall
5. Never Can Be Friends Again
Not quite a year that we have parted
and you think it would be okay
to send a note in a birthday card, yeah
but things ain't never gonna be that way
Our love, it was just yesterday
smashed like jars of clay
Oh, the end still makes me mad and
it should have never ever come to this
Scars they hurt like hell and I can
hardly get out of this abyss
Oh no, I think it's way too late
to close the gates of fate
But out there in the night
the tears I'd like to hide
still falling for my love and I try
to come to terms somehow
although it's over now
You should have told me straight that you were
not inclined to to keep faith
You broke my heart so many times that
its fragments turned into a wraith
Lost in space and time
a love once so divine
just like grains of sand got washed away
We lost our paradise
the dreamteam's own demise
and I hope you'll understand that's
Why we never can be friends again
There ain't no absolution for this execution
6. No Going Back
As love is passing out
what was it all about
could you please explain?
I asked you twice before
don't you love me anymore
but you just smiled and touched my face...
The sound of falling rain
like shards of glass
Bloodstained!
Why can't we be saved by the bell?
So strange it doesn't hurt no more
Now that we've finally hit the score
Guess everything must go!
Distractions of days gone by on the window pane
You keep walking down that lane
Too bad we didn't have the heart
to pass the test, not to depart
and finish what we've started
Now we left everything behind
pretending to make up our mind
what kind of mind can be so blind?
Accusing me, not to forget
You took the blame, a ricochet
All things once good turned into bad
And even if I understand
we couldn't meet our vast demands
I doubt if anyone ever can
Streaks of lightning set the skies aflame
The wedding bells toll for our love in vain
Our joy, our laughter as we wane
like distant shadows in the falling rain
A last distraction on my window pane
Why did I let you walk down that lane?
Prematurely our love gave up its ghost
abandoned us just when we needed it most
But somewhere out there in the night
we're still standing side by side
the nightwind calls
and there's no going back
no going back
Hold me tight for one last time
though my heart feels cold as rime
it's all over now
no going back
no going back
7. Stone Rain
"Come over to me" she said
"I swear you won't be mislead
and leave this trail of tears behind thee!"
The nights smelled of roses then
it felt like love again
with my bride and me immersing into the sea
No, I never saw no danger sign
on the winding road to mistrust
The little toy soldier went down the Rhine
Her wedding wreath crumbled to dust
She stretched out her golden hand
as we walked on amber sand
on the shores of time that know no trespassing
Now the valley lies quiet down there
the rocks lost their golden glare
This sky has gone dark with clouds overcasting
And forever found its end somehow
but my boat will be leaving at last
St. Piran's flag shows a broken vow
Come friends, tie my bones to the mast
I was hiding from a stone rain
This confusion tracked me down
Now meet me at the Lost & Found
I was hiding from a stone rain
Blind emotions nailed me to the ground
She closed the door without a sound
Our love became so ironbound
8. Resti Questa Notte Da Me
Deluso ogni volta di piu
e mi sembra di aver
lasciato il peggio dietro di me
in realta, sono alla fine
Da due parti's infiamma la candela
forse la notte non durer?
pero illumina la notte
Forse io pretendo, un po di piu
ma non so, come finirШ
e quanto tempo, dovro aspetare
Resti questa notte da me
non lasciarmi ancora combattere
saremo molto di piu, come solo amici
Resti questa notte da me
voglio stare al tuo fianco
Donna, forse sei anche un Angelo
ma non so, come finira
mi pare solo
saremo di piu, come solo amici
Camino sulla strada di notte
ricordo dei momenti belli – con te
ma non so, dove mi perder-
Spero di poter farcela
prego che l'alba mi porterШ un angelo
la speranza non voglio perdela
Forse questa canzone sara la fine
ma per me, non sara la fine
forse nei miei sogni t'incontrero
Forse questa canzone sara la fine
ma per me, non sara la fine
forse nei miei sogni t'incontrero
Resti questa notte da me
non lasciarmi ancora combattere
saremo molto di piu, come solo amici
Resti questa notte da me
voglio riposarmi da te
Donna, forse sei anche un Angelo
ma non so, come finira
mi pare solo
saremo di piu, come solo amici
Perci-, ti prego, resti con me per tutta la vita
per tutta la vita...
9. The Fire Went Out
Somebody's walking the dog like before
The kids outside at the bus stop like in days of yore
A young guy's pulling the cigarette machine
Out there it's business as usual but here just died a dream
Somebody's ringing at the door
Love doesn't live here any more...
The rooms are empty and I'm on my own
reading your letter the third time turns my heart to stone
The wind's not sounding your chimes anymore
I left my keys on the sill cause I won't return no more
Goodbye my love, I am leaving
It's gettin' cold in the evening
Oh, the fire it went out
it went out so long
Oh, I never so no cloud
Coming up along
So the fire it went out
It went out so long
A long time a go
And I didn't know
No afterglow
so much for our last show
Was it all just lie?
Until we die?
Was it all just a lie?
Sort of trick of the light?
An illusion divine?
Goodbye, Dragonfly!
The last test of time?
Goodbye, Dragonfly!
10. The Way
Up on the balcony
I watched you walk away but I couldn't see
that this parting kiss was forever, oh come back to me
Yet another summer without you, soon fall will be there
but comes winter I guess I'll be over in Cornwall somewhere
I try walking in our footsteps
These days passing in a time lapse
I went trough anger, hate and frustration
searching for some kind of revokation
We couldn't fail? How did it happen?
Just for a dare? Everything's shattered...
Darkness embrace me, I'm misplaced here
This is the wrong score, stranded on a strange shore...
The way we were
Yes, our hearts were beating together til something occured
Now you're up there somewhere in Scotland and I'm left in midair
guess I'm waiting for your return eternally
but comes the end of December, let it rain down on me...
What have we found? Just a rebound
was it worth the price we paid?
What have we gained after these strains?
Remember Penzance Promenade...
What's the truth? The importance of who's right or wrong?
I don't care, cause the nights without you are much too long
Each day my heart is gettin' colder
The burden's heavy on my shoulder
over and over I see the same scene
trapped in a nightmare, not just a bad dream
Couldn't run coz I was petrified
Tried to swallow my foolish pride
Or cities are lost forever so it seems
missing you so much it makes me want to scream
Last night I had a dream
Me flying high above the sea in the sky
with my arms wide open dazzling clouds passing by
And the mermaids' song guiding me on my way
to the coastline with its cliffs of chalk and clay
I'm trying hard to keep my eyes shut
The things I see they are not clear-cut
No matter how I try to get you out of my mind
somewhere you're still there and I wish that I was blind
This time there'll be no substitution
just like with former dissolutions
Occupying my heart hence there'll be no new start
A devotion as deep as the ocean
A saturday back in September
the golden sunlight in your eyes
This day I always will remember
You were the fairest of all brides
The sun has gone, we're on our own
Our paradise, a fragile dream
A void is calling, and I'm falling
into time's adamant stream
Called your name into the night but you're gone
Still a flame might arise from the embers at dawn
I want to be again on our way back home
I want to be again on our way back home
I want to be again on our way back home
I want to be again on our way back home
Come to me, come to me
come to me across the sea
come to me, come to me
together in eternity...
11. Through My Door
I'm watching your reflection
on the surface of the night
Dreams are all that's left for me
now you're hiding out of sight
No more skipping light fandangos
cause our cartwheels cracked the floor
I wish it could just rain forever
there's no sunshine anymore...
Sometimes it almost feels alright again
though it willl never be the same
I still not dare to watch them all
our pictures of the past
so close to me as I recall
all the suffering came at last
Remember when I told you
about the dreams I had
in those dreams you were leaving
but you just smiled at me and said:
"Don't you see that you were made for me?"
And then we threw away the key...
You walked through my door
like she did before
and now that you're here
I want you to stay
but in secret I fear
You'll leave through that door
like she did before
and all I can do
is stand there beside
all battered and blue
But maybe you'll stay
just hold me and kiss
my darkness away
Deep down inside
A flame that still burns
might light up my life
My love, tonight
with your arms around me
we might chase the light
12. You Walked Away
Of all the ways to leave a lover
we chose the worst one, I bet
No chance to hide or run for cover
assassinated instead
Taking the wrong turn, we're too far gone
now that our blue turns to grey
I brought the strings and you played a last song
then I took the train the next day
When you called me on the phone
said you gotta be on your own
but I still thought I'd be coming home
We went for a walk in the evening twilight
Just like we did it before
Making plans for a future so bright
unwary on that score
Waiting for hours at the railway station
lighting a candle for you
But while listening to your explanation
I realize that we're through
The two dragons on the wall have gone
the heart-shaped picture that he'd drawn
Back in the wasteland of a dawn
So long ago in Kernow on a full moon's night
A promise made under the silver starlight...
