Waiting For The Rain – Lyrics
I’ve been here before
It’s as though I never left you
You’re still here with me
Together we stopped the time
We stand still, face to face
We move so fast but we don’t change places
Change our minds, change the seasons
We change our hearts but not our reasons
Lying here with your arms around me
Nothing is the same
My passion has chained and bound me
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain
We play our parts and we hide our secrets
Pretending we don’t feel
We hide emotions behind cool indifference
Pretending they’re not real
I can fool a thousand people
I don’t care that we’re apart
I don’t cry in public places
But I just can’t fool my heart
Lying here with your arms around me
Nothing is the same
My passion has chained and bound me
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain
Lying here with your arms around me
Nothing is the same
My passion has chained and bound me
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain
I’m waiting
Another Time Another Place – Lyrics
I come from far away
A place hidden in your dreams
Where time is not the way it seems
You knew me long ago
Ages have long since gone
A thousand battles lost and won
The light that fills your eyes
Is only one light in nine
The others hide in mists of time
Beyond the stars you see
Time waits silently
Beyond the gate he waits for me
Another time another place
You always knew that I would wait
You knew I couldn’t leave the flame
Another place another time
Another face that looks like mine
You know me well my love
I had no answers then
Palaces made of sand
I could not change what had been planned
The sky is always darkest
Just before you can see
Open your eyes and look for me
Another time another place
You always knew that I would wait
You knew I couldn’t leave the flame
Another place another time
Another face that looks like mine
You know me well my love
The love you keep on ice
The light you keep on hold
Has made your world grow dark and cold
Another time another place
You always knew that I would wait
You knew I couldn’t leave the flame
Another place another time
Another face that looks like mine
You know me well my love
Love Is Not Enough – Lyrics
Your mood swings suddenly
Like the moon behind a cloud
I see your lips are moving
But my heart beats much too loud
Is it too late
To hear what you are saying to me
To understand
To know the man
You take me higher up than I’ve ever been before
And then you drop me
Broken pieces on the floor
And we both know
The wounds that we inflict
Are slow to heal
The way we feel
I can’t believe we’d rip and tear for foolish pride
We’d end it all to see which one of us survives
It breaks my heart that we see things so differently
The truth is rough
When love is not enough
I watch for signs of daybreak in the darkness of your eyes
I veil my anger in another thin disguise
You see right through
I guess I always knew you could
We both take aim
We shoot to maim
We make each other laugh
We make each other cry
We tear each other down
And we make each other fly
We are the worst
And we’re the best that we can be
We conflict
We contradict
I can’t believe we’d rip and tear for foolish pride
We’d end it all to see which one of us survives
It breaks my heart that we see things so differently
The truth is rough
When love is not enough
The truth is rough
When love is not enough
The truth is rough
When love is not enough
Ten Years Younger – Lyrics
You cruise in here with your friends like you’re a big star
But honey half these people haven’t a clue who you are
You’re gazing at the walls, it’s all such a bore
And I think I like you even less than I did before
You’re so big-deal you have trouble remembering my name
Memory loss is a small price to pay for fame
You’ll finish your drink and leave ‘cause you’re not impressed
But I remember hearing you when you were far from your best
I listened to you, now you listen to me
Stop strutting around like you’re hot property
You didn’t sound all that good in 1973
And I’m ten years younger than
You’ll ever be
You don’t like the sound of the band or the place where we play
You’re not really into the music we do anyway
You’re hanging around waiting for someone to fall
From the look on your face, you’re really having a ball
Big man in a big hurry can’t wait for a break
You slither out with your friends like a poisonous snake
And if I don’t give a damn then why’m I so mad
A girl can’t lose a friend that she never had
I listened to you, now you listen to me
Stop strutting around like you’re hot property
You didn’t sound all that good in 1973
And I’m ten years younger than
You’ll ever be
Ten year younger than
Ten years younger than, you’ll ever be
Ten years younger than, you’ll ever be
Ten year younger than
Ten year younger than
Ten year younger than
Ten year younger than, you’ll ever be
Edge of Africa – Lyrics
In a city at the edge of Africa
The coastal winds and wet
Drove a boy – in the disguise of a man
To make himself a bet
And he said “I’m lucky and I can have anything I choose”
And he was clever – and he had nothing much to lose
In the winter at the edge of Africa
Boy meets girl
And in the crazy way that girls in love are known to act
She turns around her world
And he said “Whatever comes of this, I’m right behind you”
He just didn’t say how far
And he said “Everything will work out for the best
I can’t be near you now but there you are”
In a city at the edge of Africa – in a city at the edge of Africa
And though the writing was always on the wall
She never saw through his disguise
And though she never had to search too far for answers
She never looked behind his eyes
Out of her life and Africa he flies
She waits at the edge of Africa
As the African sky slowly turns to black
She met him briefly in a parking lot one night
And then he never came back
And she said “I know a man who looks just like him”
But it was never quite the same
And as the days and weeks turn into months and years
She came to know it was a game he played
In a city at the edge of Africa – In a city at the edge of Africa
In a city at the edge of Africa – In a city at the edge of Africa
Out of her life and Africa he flies
Out of her life and Africa he flies
Reassurance – Lyrics
I’ve always been the strong one
Never need kind words or approval
Suddenly I find myself hopelessly insecure
I need reassurance
Something in the faces of the people close to me – frightens me so
At the mention of your name their faces close – they don’t believe
I could never be so wrong
But I need reassurance
I’m not so sure I like this new hold on me
I’ve never had to follow before
I have to follow you - you have to want me to
Oh - I need reassurance - Oh - I need reassurance
You’re holding my dream in your hands
Fragile – handle me with care
I’ve never given so much to anyone before
Don’t make me wrong – don’t make me wrong
Talk to me – I need to know you’re there
I need to belong – I need to belong
Total dedication – all or nothing
For you it’s all
I’ll bleed for you – but you’ve got to bleed too
And I need reassurance
I need reassurance – I need reassurance – I need reassurance
I’ve never given so much to anyone before
Don’t make me wrong – don’t make me wrong
Talk to me – I need to know you’re there
I need to belong – I need to belong
I need reassurance – I need reassurance
I’ve always been the strong one
Never need kind words or approval
Suddenly I find myself hopelessly insecure
I need reassurance
I need reassurance
I need reassurance
I need reassurance
Dry Tears – Lyrics
So it’s all true
Everything I heard about you
Everything I said could never be
In black and white
To remind me
How the child refused to see
But I’m learning to be cold
I’m learning not to hold
You taught me how to lie
I’m learning how to cry dry tears
I know my place
Baby take the back seat please
Everything I thought was so clear
Is broken in pieces
To remind me
I’ll never let you get so near
But I’m learning to be hard
I’m learning to discard
You taught me how to lie
I’m learning how to cry dry tears
I found a place to hide deep inside myself
Everything I’m feeling is hidden from you
You’ll never touch my soul
I found a way to cry deep inside myself
Every tear I cry I’ll keep hidden from you
You’ll never touch my soul
I’ve learned to cry dry tears
I’ve learned to cry dry tears
I found a place to hide deep inside myself
Everything I’m feeling is hidden from you
You’ll never touch my soul
I found a way to cry deep inside myself
Every tear I cry I’ll keep hidden from you
You’ll never touch my soul
I’ve learned to cry dry tears
I’ve learned to cry dry tears
No Turning Back – Lyrics
Take a look at what I’m leaving behind
To know what I’m running to
I’m powerless to change my direction
I’m driven to you
And there’s no turning back
No change of heart
No second thoughts – it’s a brand-new start
The only way out is through
And the only one I want is you
From the first I was under your spell
Running into the storm
Fanning the flames is a dangerous game
But playing with fire keeps me warm
And there’s no turning back
No change of heart
No second thoughts – it’s a brand-new start
If it’s hell I’m going to
I don’t mind if I’m with you
Victims of chance – a child and a fool
Dividing lines are sharp and cruel
I know there’s a price to be paid
I know that I’ll pay it someday
Who can say what the future will hold
There’s no guarantee
Without you my world is cold
Is it me or the stranger that everyone sees
And there’s no turning back
No change of heart
No second thoughts – it’s a brand-new start
If it’s hell I’m going to
I don’t mind if I’m with you
