Lying in my bed I hear the clock ticking think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Flashback warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said
And you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
You say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time...

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't see nothing like me yet
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends they are acting strange
They shake their heads, they tell me that I've changed
But something's lost and something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I really don't know life at all

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflecting Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hands
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn on a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

I wished I was in Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrand,
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
The deepest ocean to be by your side.
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I the wings to fly.
If I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die.
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy time spend so long ago.
My boyhood friends and my own relations.
Have all passed on like the melting snow.
I'll spend my days in endless roving,
Soft is the grass and my bed is free.
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus,
On the long road down to the salty sea.
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone as black as ink,
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink.
For I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered
so come on ye young men and lay me down.

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Hey, see I believe in you, oh
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly
If I just spread my wings
I can fly

Going back to a tender age,
so full of confusion and rage,
Daddy says, Boys, your Mama's gone.
There's a hand on your shoulder as you're throwing dirt,
someone says, Time heals the hurt.
Little man, you got to keep on keepin' on,
but all you want is Mama's arms.
You ride back home in a limosine,
the saddest car that you've ever seen,
your brother can not look you in the eye.
Lightning strikes, thunder roars,
an early winter in that heart of yours,
but you swear you won't let them see you cry
'cause all you want is Mama's arms.
The neighbors come and bring you pies,
endless words and futile sighs,
and you run up to your room and lock the door.
And there you are in your Sunday best,
the way your Mama would have had you dressed
and you realize it doesn't matter anymore
'cause all you want is Mama's arms.
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes.
The seasons change the young boy grows
to understand it's all part of some plan.
You used to wonder what it's all about.
Now those are questions you can do without.
You laugh them off and do the best you can
All you want is Mama's arms
All you want is Mama's arms

O the summer time has comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go
lassie
go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go
lassie
go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
Yes I know it I will late
All the flowers o' the mountain
Will ye go
lassie
go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go
lassie
go?
If my true love will not have me
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme,
All around the purple heather
Will ye go
lassie
go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go
lassie
go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heatherЃithe bloomin' heatherЃj
Will ye go
lassie
go?
Will ye go
lassie
go?
Will ye go
lassie
go?

we're caught in a trap
i can't walk out
because i love you too much baby
why can't you see
what you're doing to me
when you don't believe a word i say??
we cant go on together
with suspicious minds
and we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds
so, if an old friend i know
drops by to say hello
would i still see suspision in your eyes??
here we go again
asking where i've been
you can't see these tears are real i'm crying
we cant go on together
with suspicious minds
and we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds
oh let our love survive
or dry the tears from your eyes
just don't let a good thing die
and honey you know you know
i've never lied to you
Mmmmm
we're caught in a trap
i can't walk out
because i love you too much baby
why can't you see
what you're doing to me
when you don't believe the word i say
we cant go on together
with suspicious minds
and we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds
we're caught in a trap
i can't walk out
because i love you too much baby
because i love you too much baby
because i love you too much baby

Live your life to the fall
With a lifetime of smiles
Made us know right from wrong
Always knowing a lie
You made us to be tough
But never too rough
Rise above what you said
Never easily lead.
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
just a minute or two
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
So I'll try and go on
Loving all that we know
Through the hardest of times
you put on a show
You made us stand tall
When all around us would fall
Even when you were alone
You believed you could fly
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
We wrote it for you
It'll take all our lives
Just to help us get through
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song.
