So you say
You're living just for fun
Isn't it enough?
So you say
You wait o will it come
Isn't it enough?
You a prisoner of loving
You're chained and bound
I could never be the one
In the moonlight and the sun

O Mamouna Mamouna run

You and me
We're just like night and day
The here and now
The ghost of yesterday
Hack and tear
We're prisoners of loving
We're chained and bound
There's a road I've got to take
A thread you got to break

. . .


Where do we go from here
Your place or mine
What do you want from me
And is there time?

Where do we go from here
I wish I knew
Getting too hot to bear
Let's keep it cool

Where do we go from here
I'm in the mood
Living on borrowed time
Let's make a move

Don't ask me why
My heart is breaking
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
I'm tired of wanting
Some other spring some time

Don't ask me why
My heart is yearning
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
My heart is breaking
Some other spring some time

. . .


(ferry)

There's a place in my heart
All broken and still
Where I may wander alone.
At the end of the day
As the world turns
I turn to thoughts of home
Though you're far away I imagine
How you would smile at this romance
And sure enough


As the world turns
And so to games of chance.
Take my part in this play
You're dealing me words I never could use
That strange beginning has no ending
When curtain falls we both lose
Though we're far apart on this old carousel
The ups and downs we share
Just remember surely as the world turns
In dreams I will be there by your side.

. . .


(Lennon / McCartney)

Wednesday morning at five o'clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say no more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free
She (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
She (what did we do that was wrong)
Is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the thing money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for so many years (bye bye)
She's leaving home (bye bye)

(ferry)

One across you wake up
Two down's asleep
Three days a week you're laughing
Before you weep
I got your number
From up above
Four letter love
Four letter love
Down to the letter
Oh you'd better
Count on love
Once I was so lonely
Twice as bad as blue
Three times I burned my fingers
Nearly put the shine on you


Now living's easy
Fit like a glove
Four letter love
Four letter love
Turn on the power
With your four letter love
So listen all you lovers
Tell you what I'd do
Just say you're willin'
And count the killin'
I'm holding down on you
1...2...3...
Four letter love
Don't waste a minute
It's wise to get in a
Party of five for love
Four letter love

. . .


(ferry)

Through the golden sunset
Across the borderline
Stands a cross
A simple sign
There the fires of evening
Reveal so many things
But who can mend broken wings?
Southern belles, fancy rings
Divorced from many things
As the story goes
Wish I could fly
Take the ever winding


Where the morning rain
Takes a cloud from the sky
There I long to love you
Love is everything
Who can mend broken wings?
Through the night, love is blind
The light of day not kind
The sense of loss you find
No sense at all
And should you gaze and wonder
Where the eagle flies
Fallen angels might sing
Who can mend broken wings?

. . .


Just one step at a time
And closer to destiny
I knew at a glance
There'd always be a chance for me
With someone I could live for
Nowhere I would rather be

Is your love strong enough
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?

Just one beat of your heart
And stranger than fantasy
I knew from the start
It had to be the place for me
Someone that I would die for
There's no way I could ever leave

Is your love strong enough
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?

Is your love strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?

Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart

. . .


I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me any more
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
