Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea baby's coming back
Hey hey hey, ain't gonna trouble his wandering mind
Gonna take on the time to find out if my love is

Soul deep - spinning the heart round a wire
Soul deep - a heavenly wave
Soul deep - heating the heart like a fire
Soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay

Save a tear till the curtain will fall, well I'm saving them all for you
Knock on wood, is it understood that I'm saving it up for you
Hey hey hey, love is a hustle just a moment behind
Gonna walk on the line to find out if my love is

Soul deep - spinning the heart round a wire
Soul deep - a heavenly wave
Soul deep - heating the heart like a fire
Soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, my baby's coming back
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea yea baby's coming back
Hey hey hey ride on the soul train now I'm too close to hide
Gonna take on the time to find out if my love is

Soul deep - spinning the heart round a wire
Soul deep - a heavenly wave
Soul deep - heating the heart like a fire

I move all right, I got the wheels going round,
making ways in the night.
yea we're movin' all right, wipin' the rain from the ground
and the pale from the sky but something happens in his heart
when the morning comes.

the secrets that she keeps away from me,
the tears on the pillow she don't want me to see,
well every little thing she does is for me
but somebody new is breaking us in two.

he's the kind of love that makes a whirl in your mind,
like the tide and the time.
with just a little bit o'soul he fights to find peace of mind
in these shattering eyes but something happens in his heart
when the morning comes.

the secrets that she keeps away from me...

the secrets that she keeps away from me.

Goodbye to you, goodbye to broken hearts,
goodbye to romance, hiding in the dark,
nights that leave a scar.

Goodbye to you, goodbye to empty cards,
goodbye to this ball of bliss,
I'm dancing from your arms.

And I fill the bedroom with silent visions of rain.
And I paint the morning with echoes from pleasure in pain.
I don't want to touch emotions, I just got to run away.
Electric blue like oceans, wild like lovers sway.

Goodbye to you...

And I seal the pillow and shatter dreams down the hall.
And I hang the heartache like pictures on the wall.
Can you hear the sound of angels they're playing hurting games?
Well, I'm a stranger when I'm leaving, I was a stranger when I came.

Goodbye to you...

It's a madman's situation, reminiscing in the rain,
and I've lost your love again, I call your name.
And I don't want to think about it when I go to sleep at night,
can you hear it in the wind? I call your name.

I call your name...

And I close the door behind me, I turn the lights all down,
there's no-one there beside me, I call your name.
And I don't want to think about it but I wind up all the same,
nothing'll ever change, I call your name.

I call your name...

Lie awake under the stars, lie awake under the stars.

I call your name...

Written by Per Gessle

She knows I'd do anything she wants me to,
the love she finds is deeper than the ocean.
She knows I'd do anything she wants me to,
a river of dew, warmer than the dawning.

Surrender - tie the cover to the ground.
Surrender - tie the cover to the ground.
But don't turn around and walk away again.
Don't turn around and walk away again.

He knows I'd say anything he wants to hear,
loud and clear calls the voice of lovers.
He knows I'd do anything he wants me to,
like ruby rain, I wash away the pain.

surrender...

I knew this would happen and I don't want to be around
when it gets out.
I've closed the last picture and painted the windows
inside and out.

Give me your dreams and I'll give you my time,
together we'll cross the borderline.

Voices - cracking the night,
voices - that cut like a knife,
voices - hear them singing...

From sparks to the fire, from here to obsession they cover the end.
Twisting a match and see the reflections of hunters of men.

Give me your dreams and I'll give you my time,
until we make it to the borderline.

Voices...

Chasing your shadow, the senses together,
four-leafed and clever I come from behind.
Chasing your shadow, I wander in circles,
you're one in a million, we're two of a kind.

It's you that I long for, it's you that I hunger,
oh you are the maker of waves in my mind.

We dance in the moonlight, a run on the wire,
drawing a fine line, a neverending love.
The fever turns slowly into a fire, drawing a fine line,
a neverending love.

Chasing your shadow, moon and the water,
field and the reaper, star and the sky.
Chasing your shadow, hammer and heartbeat,
clay and new concrete, I follow the signs.

It's you that I long for, it's you that I hunger,
and you are the maker of waves in my mind.

We dance in the moonlight...

I know her, and every notion I get from her I wear inside me.
I know her, all of the broken leaves of love she leaves behind.

Oh - don't you hide away from the rain.
Oh - can you tell me the name of this game?
I got to get thru to you.

Behind the door, another wall, a lonely cry a call of the wild.
A dancing daze, an empty face, a crystal high a call of the wild.

And there is something that sweeps the dark, a lover's dart,
the call of a broken heart.
Wrapped in the night, behind these eyes, oh hear the cry,
a call of the wild.

I know her and in my mind I dream of her, how she aches without me.
I know her and every heart is a lonely hunter when she walks by.

Oh - can you read the hurt in my eyes?
Oh - don't you leave without saying goodbye.
I got to get thru to you.

You wake me up in the middle of the night and burn the cover down.
You're on the phone in the air like a record try to spin me around.
Oh won't you move away, oh honey get away.

The joy of a toy, is it all that you came for?
The joy of a toy got the look of a lie.
The joy of a toy put the hurt into action.
The joy of a toy, you can kiss this love goodbye.

How can you win when you don't know a thing what love is all about?
Don't want to fight so get out of my sight I won't surrender now.
It's independence day, oh honey get away.

The joy of a toy...

Written by Per Gessle

Echoes of loneliness, traces from love affairs,
will never disappear, always come thru.
I thought I'd never know the time to see you go,
two people turned into one, thinking as one.

A hint in the night, a touch of a dream, has come to an end,
we run from one heart to another again.
The rose of our love is withered and torn
and gone from one heart to another.

Sailing away to sea, the ships made of you and me,
they pass in the darkest nights and turn out the lights.
And I thought I'd never know the season to see you go,
two people twirled into one, being as one.

A hint in the night...

Take the line between us and hold it close to you,
I want us to get together, like lovers do.
Let me kiss away your troubles, the cold and lonely nights,
just take this heart I'm giving and love is on the rise.

Like lovers do - want to hold you thru the night,
like lovers do - and when I look into your eyes,
like lovers do - oh I'm drowning in an ocean of emotion.

It feels just like forever since I made love to you,
September days of scarlet, April morning dew.
So take the love between us and hold it close to you,

In the coldest time of year,
Darkness all around my heart.
I was alone but didn't fear
To wander in the light of stars.
In the bright and silent night,
Winds would knock and disappear.
Still I felt the feeling near,
Like the first time you were ever here.
You're so far away,
So far away,
You left me,
You told me you would stay.
You never said goodbye
And I'll keep asking why,
I keep on asking how,
Oh come unto me now.
I have breathed the morning air,
I have heard the four winds blow.
I was weary but prepared to follow
Down this lonely road.
In the room where lovers sleep,
Winds would knock and disappear.
Still I felt the music near,
Like the first time we were ever here.
You're so far away,
So far away,
You left me,
You told me you would stay.
You never said goodbye
And I keep wondering why,
I keep on wondering how,

There was a banquet of believers when we walked into the room.
December days of Christmas felt like days in June.
And there were morning lights, and sunrise chimes echoed all around.
Now's the time for weary minds, the moon is northern bound.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

Well there's a promise in the twilight, it's so innocent and wild.
Two hearts that break the silence, you can hear a distant cry.
And there's emptiness and loneliness, it's more or less the same.
Well let's run between the raindrops, babe,
and catch the midnight train.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay. To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay. To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay. To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been love but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.

From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,

Turn to me - when your heart breaks away
Turn to me - don't turn me away
When everything's sad and down
When you're looking for somewhere to run
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Turn to me - when the moon gets to go
Turn to me - when the story's been told
When everything's dim and grey
And you're hitting a rainbow way
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Now that Christmas is here
A shadow of fears
And if you want to seek ....
Turn to me and read these lonely lonely eyes
Why don't you?
Why don't you turn to me?

Chasing your shadow, the senses together,
