I'll leave you now
in safe hands
cool your soul
it's love still stands

but failing that
just cool down
wouldn't you love to make it
is this real or am I just
imagining?

with wings take flight
the rose of why
and with that rose
the case is closed

but I need you now
to help me somehow
well I'm scared to face it
this final kiss
but I know I'll remember it

you gave your best to me
allow yourself to be
free

it raids your memory
still I'm sorry for failing
a time for change
well I need you now
to help me out
well I'm scared to face this
a final kiss
but I know you'll remember it

The Order Of Things

[No lyrics]

. . .


miracle rain makes snowballs falling slowing out of the sky
all you people wandering by
make sure you don't get one in the eye
there's a new world forming out of the way
future love that's born every day

too many miracles happening here
it's the same old story, different year
oh I'm glad you are here
been this way since the day I was born

I'm ready to be in love again
I know we could be in love

photographing snowflakes lately I'm slowly losing my mind
there's so many different kinds
falling all the time
there's a rainbow forming without any rain
a new dimension again

there's too many miracles happening here
it's the same old story, different year
oh I'm glad you are here
been this way since the day you were born

the age of romance is dead and gone
maybe a chance I'm wrong

people falling out of love I don't know whose side you were on
got to call these people along
and tell them where they've been going wrong
there's no shame in changing and being alone
just pull yourself one for the road

hasn't it been a strange old year
well too many miracles happening here
I'm so glad you are here
been this way since the day we were born

are you ready to be in love again
I'm ready to be in love

. . .


I'm tired of thinking about this morning
may as well just dream of what tomorrow brings

if this is your last photograph
just smile, stand tall, and you could have it all
color your soul, to make it whole
and use this day, what of it remains
if it's your reality, if this is your reality
let it be

ten feet tall, but feeling small
you raise those plans
take a hold with your hands
this photograph could be your last
a final prize, a moment in time
if it's your reality, if this if something you can see

I'm tired of thinking about this morning
may as well just dream of what tomorrow brings

ascend your soul, reach your goal
blue-eyed one, hope against hope
taking that fall, unwrapped it all
bring it back, like the blood of the triad

if it's this reality, if this is all just let it be

I'm tired of thinking about this morning
may as well just dream of what tomorrow brings

I'm tired of thinking about this morning
may as well just dream of what tomorrow brings

just when you think that you could never find it
just then you realize your future is all in your hands

one day we'll look at this and laugh about it
until then just realize the future is all in our hands

I'm tired of thinking about this morning
may as well just dream of what tomorrow brings

. . .

I Saw You Walk Away

[No lyrics]

. . .


I'm a failure at heart
but it seems I succeed
when my heart feels the need
to be helpful

it doesn't happen much
and as a result
it's a rare thing

did I see you today?
well if so I'd keep grace
cos I don't hold your face
in my memory

everybody looks the same
there's nothing else to blame
but my, but my memory

it's a craze no one knows
still I'm craving the days
when this town was alive
and amazing

and for once I'm on time
still I'm falling around
to the sights of this town
'til they find me

and you wouldn't call it fun
when all the things you've done
amount to the same thing

here's the news, I'm alive
but in habit of not taking chances
well that's what I'm finding

we could try with new rules
just accept only one thing
and that is that nothing
will change anything

you see it all the time
but now we've seen the last time
that's the main thing

take a look at yourself
in the mirror you'll find
you look weirder
the longer you stand there

just take a step away
at least for one day
and you'll be finding

just a shot in the dark
still a good enough aim
to take half of the blame
and be thankful

for everything you've got
I'd take another shot
in the, in the dark with you

is it deal or no deal?
well I try everyday
and I still have to say
that it's no deal

what time is it, 14?
well I'm ready when you are
as long as we both want the same thing

I'll put the candles out
I don't mean put them out
I mean, I mean get them burning

you look good, how'd you feel?
I feel good
but I knew that I would
from the moment I saw you

well thank you for your time
and for not wasting mine
that's a rare thing

there's a savior in me
yet I can't save myself
so good luck whoever else
believes in me

you can only blame yourself
I'm the savior in yourself
and not in me

you're the new kid in school
everybody looks at you
because of the fact
that you are new

someone throw the kid a crutch
I know it isn't much
but it's what I'm thinking
