Even when she sleeps
She dreams a smile
You'll wonder where
She's gone to now

Every word she speaks
She'll catch your breath
She'll start to weep
But laugh instead

Even when it rains
She's dancing there
She can walk on air
If she wants to, if she wants to

Cause it's all to make you crazy for her
And the world is just a playground for her

Try to make her yours
She'll run and hide
When it's way too late
You'll realise, you'll realise

That's it's all to make you crazy for her
And the world's a great big playground for her
Oh yeah
She's a beautiful, beautiful regret

Cause even when she's gone
Vanished into air
You'll be holding on
I've been there, I've been there

And it's all to make you crazy for her
And the world is a painted playground for her
And it's all to make you crazy, crazy, crazy for her
And the world is a painted playground for her

She'll push you far too high you'll fall
But you'll keep coming back for more
She'll spin you round, you'll start to slide
Crazy, crazy

There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

Mother Earth is down on her knees
Poison rivers run to dead seas
Cities eating up the green fields
We never question why
How truth turns into lies

There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

Sometimes it’s hard to believe
In a truth that you can’t even see
But faith holds the hope for the world
And I know, I know

There’s got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

When I’m thinking it’s a bad day
Feels like nothing’s going my way
I pass a wreck out on the freeway
And I pray that they survived
There but for the grace of God go I

Cinderella waits at terminal eleven
Freedom folded into four
She's been saving all her dimes and nickels
In a box beneath the bedroom floor

Nervously she clicks her heels against the suitcase
Watching seconds rolling by
Experience has taught her eyes to keep their distance
So no-one stops to ask her why...

Why do the innocent run?
Like raindrops on a watercolour run
The river knows there is no other way
The guilty never pay
That's why the innocent run

Cinderella leans her face against the window
Whispers bittersweet goodbyes
To all the years she kept her secret wrapped in silence
But never understanding...

Why must the innocent run?
Like teardrops on a watercolour run
The river knows there is no better way
The guilty never pay
That's why the innocent run
Oh they run

Sometimes the only thing to do
To keep the past from catching you
Is run...

There's a young girl in the cafe on the corner
Flicking through a magazine
She's a stranger here and that's just how she wants it
No-one here knows who she's been
No-one here knows she was a princess
Oh she's gotta run

Like raindrops on a watercolour run
Nothing's like it seems
The river knows there is no other way
The guilty never pay
That's why the innocent run
Oh they run
Back to Song List

Woke up this morning with the rain tapping on my roof
Visions of you spinning round inside my head
My consciousness took a while to catch me up
Oh blessed moment before the pain
No I don't want to lie anymore
Holding out for something
I'm the one to blame for this

Last chance to work it out
Give a little thought to
Your choice to walk away
Do you think you ought to
It's a cold comfort on the inside looking out
I miss you most on Sundays

The house on the corner just don't feel the same
Since you packed your bags and books and turned and walked away
And that old lady who lives up on the second floor
Keeps asking me how it is you don't come around here no more
No I don't want to lie anymore
Always holding out for something
Nothing feels the same for this

Last chance to work it out
Give a little thought to
Your choice to walk away
Do you think you ought to
It's a cold comfort on the inside looking out
I miss you most on Sundays

Some days feel better than others
One day we all get what we deserve

Your forwarding address is scribbled on the kitchen wall
Right above that line you wrote, "I'll always love you"
And please don't, please don't decide to call
Until I'm past the point of getting over you
No, I don't want to live like this anymore
Always holding out for something
I'm the one to blame for this

Last chance to work it out
Give a little thought to
Your choice to walk away
Do you think you ought to
It's a cold comfort on the inside looking out when
It's the last chance to work it out
Give a little thought to
Your choice to walk away
Do you think you ought to
It's a cold comfort on the inside looking out
I miss you most on Sundays
I miss you most on Sundays
Back to Song List

Feels like it might just take forever
To get from one side to the next
Man, I should have planned this journey better
Instead of hoping for the best

At every light that's green for me
The other drivers scream at me
But I can't move you see I'm frozen at the wheel
Cause leaving you is harder than turning left in L.A.
Left in L.A.
And even now my heart is still burning to be left in L.A.
Left in L.A.

How can I paint a pretty picture
At every turn I feel abused
And at every lethal intersection
I've got everything to lose

The passing signs that hang above
Have got no sympathy for love
Cold indications of how far away you feel
Cause leaving you is harder than turning left in L.A.
Left in L.A.
And even now my heart is still burning to be left in L.A.
Left in L.A.

While you're sleeping in the canyon
I'm on Wilshire Boulevard
Trying to make the freeway
Has never been so hard
Man, it's never been so hard

But I'm leaving L.A.
I gotta go
I'm leaving L.A.
Oh I'm leaving L.A.
Left in L.A.
Left in L.A.

Even now my heart is still burning to be left in L.A.
Left in L.A.
Left in L.A.
Left in L.A.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
(Mescall/Livsey)

It was one of those days
I’d be better off staying in bed
Spent one of those nights
Regretting every word I ever said
It was one of those journeys
That faded to black
Down a one way street
Where there’s no turning back

It was one of those years
Though I tried nothing ever worked out
Spent a lot of time living
In the zone of a shadow of a doubt
You could spend your whole life thinking that
Everything's wrong
You could spend your whole life looking for
Something that's gone

But then I wouldn’t have noticed that smile on your face
Was it some strange intervention that lead me to that place
Could it be a road less travelled
Is the one that shows the way
So glad, it's one of those
One of those

Days (when it makes you feel life's worth living)
Days (when you know in your heart that loves worth giving)
Days (when the nights are long and the sun comes up again)
Days

If it’s one of those days
That you're feeling like you’re getting nowhere
Seems like you’re knocking on a door but nobody’s there
I used to spend my whole life thinking that
Everything's wrong
I used to spend my whole life looking for
Something that's gone

But then I wouldn’t have noticed that smile on your face
Was it some strange intervention that lead me to that place
Could it be a road less travelled
The one that shows the way
(Oh thank God it's one of those, one of those)

Days (when she makes you feel like life's worth living)
Days (when you know in your heart your love's worth giving)
Days (when the nights were long but the sun came up again)
Days (when you'd lost it all but you fell in love again)

Days (when you wake up and your life's worth living)
Days (when your your heart is full of love worth giving)
Days (when the nights were long but the sun came up again)
Days (when you'd lost it all but you fell in love again
Days (you know, you know, you know, you know)
Back to Song List

I used to see distance as some kind of enemy
Now it cushions the sarcastic blows between you and me
Expressions I don’t recognise
Avoidance in each other’s eyes
Colour has faded to cold black and white

I didn’t write this song to make you cry
I was trying to find the words to say goodbye
I stepped from the circle and the flame went out
That left us in no shadow of a doubt

Occasional silence a game sometimes lovers play
Now it’s the system we use to get through each day
A message conveyed through a child
Bills stacking up on the side
Everything’s gone but the skeletons stay

I didn’t write this song to make you cry
I was trying to find the way to say goodbye
I stepped from the circle and the flame went out
That left us in no shadow of a doubt
That left us in no, no, no...
There's no shadow of a doubt

I know that time is a healer and pain recedes
And faith in the power of forgiveness can set a wounded soul free
I hope you find some kind of rescue
A generous heart that deserves you
Somebody special to bring back that smile

I didn’t write this song to make you cry
I was trying to find the words to say goodbye
I stepped from the circle and the flame went out
I didn’t write this song to make you sad
I didn’t realise just what we had
I stepped from the circle and the flame went out
That left us in no shadow of a doubt

I said it’s over
How could you leave it this way?
How could you say those things about me
And turn and walk away?

SON TO A FATHER 
(Mescall/Herman)

His eyes have seen
Both beauty and disaster
And in between
There were tears and there was laughter

Lines on skin
Like a map of his emotions
Lose or win
I made mistakes but was forgiven

May if I'd taken time, I'd understand
They say that it's the battles lost that makes the man

From a son to a father
Who's reaching out for the last goodbye
Put your hand in my hand and I won't let go
As the wheel of life keeps spinning round

Skin and bone
The years have taken what was given
Sticks and stones
Could never take away my feelings

Boy to man
And as I step into my father's shoes
Here I am
And in this circle I continue

Sometimes when I think of him and feel regret
I know I can't turn back time but I can start again

From a son to a father
Who's reaching out for the last goodbye
Put your hand in my hand and I won't let go
I won't let go

From a son...

From a son to a father
Who's reaching out for the last goodbye
Put your hand in my hand and I won't let go

From a son to a father
Who's reaching out for the last goodbye
Put your hand in my hand and I won't let go
As the wheel of life keeps spinning round

SPEED OF LOVE 
(Mescall/Sutton)

Everything you thought you needed
Leave it all behind
Write a letter just don't read it
It may change your mind

When I turn the key
Freedom never sounded better
It runs like a dream
Complete with lifetime guarantee

And it feels so good
And it feels so right
It's a flashbulb moment
To keep for the rest of our lives
And it feels so strong
Like a sign from above
We're travelling at the speed of love

Put your feet up on the dashboard
Kiss the sun goodbye
Pretty soon you'll hit the desert
And maybe spend the night

Ah look at us now
Ripping off the rear view mirror
Laughing out loud
On a road as far as we can see

And it feels so good
And it feels so right
It's a flashbulb moment
To keep for the rest of our lives
And it feels so strong
Like a sign from above
We're travelling at the speed of love

And it feels so good...

And it feels so good
And it feels so right
It's a flashbulb moment
To keep for the rest of our lives
And it feels so strong
Like a sign from above
We're travelling at the speed of love

And it feels so good
And it feels so right
It's a flashbulb moment
To keep for the rest of our lives
And it feels so strong
Like a sign from above
We're travelling at the speed of love

TROUBLE IS 
(Mescall/Sheyne/Sutton)

How come you never know what you've got until it's gone?
Too bad, cos it never felt so good with anyone
How fooled was I into thinking it was gonna be
Alright, okay, fine

So every day I try a little harder to forget her
Lie here, convince myself tomorrow will be better

Trouble is I can't get her out of my mind when I close my eyes at night
Who's gonna save me now she's gone?
Trouble is there's a part of me that still can't let go of her memory
Now I know what it is...
Love is what the trouble is

How come, she said, you never wear your heart where I can see?
Too bad cos now I'm the one who's sorry
How stupid was I into thinking I was gonna be
Alright, okay, fine

So every day I find a little something to remind me
No matter how I try I can't put the past behind me

Trouble is I can't get her out of my mind when I close my eyes at night
Who's gonna save me now she's gone?
Trouble is there's a part of me that still can't let go of her memory
Now I know what it is...
Love is what the trouble is

Love has left me lonely
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'll be fine, given time
But the only....

Trouble is I can't get her out of my mind when I close my eyes at night
Who's gonna save me now she's gone?
Trouble is there's a part of me that still can't let go of her memory
Now I know what it is
Love
Now I know what it is
Love
Now I know what it is
Love is what the trouble is

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW 
(Mescall/Goodrum)

Didn't I notice there was silence at the table
Too many secret telephone calls
Even a weatherman sees storms on the horizon
Oh no... not me

Didn't I notice that your smile had kind of faded
And the touch of your hand was not the same
Didn't I see that there was someone in the shadows
Oh no... not me

Oh, there used to be magic there, so much that we could taste it
Now there's nothing but sadness in this space that we've created

Didn't I know that there'd be someone there to take my place
Oh no... not me
Holding you close while somewhere else is where you want to be
Too blind to see... you were leaving me
Why didn't I know?

If I could find a way to wipe you from my memory
I wouldn't even want to try
'Cause what we had will always be right here inside of me
Right here, right now

Oh, there used to be magic there, so much that we could taste it
Now there's nothing but sadness in this space that we've created

Didn't I know that there'd be someone there to take my place
Oh no... not me
Holding you close while somewhere else is where you want to be
Too blind to see... you were leaving me
Why didn't I know
Why didn't I know
Why didn't I know?

And the Polaroids lied
Cause the romance had died
But we stood there and smiled
Like mums and daddies do

At her first day at school
Lord, she’s a picture of you
What are we going to do?
How can we explain?

That you don’t love me like you used to
And it just don’t feel the same
You don’t love me like you used to
Honey, I’m the one to blame

And the lawyers demand
That there’s a finalised plan
You took the ring from your hand
You gave it back to me
So even he could see

That you don’t love me like you used to
And it just don’t feel the same
You don’t love me like you used to
And Honey I’m the one
Who didn’t take time to say I need you
Are we're long past the point of all return?
Lord, I’m missing you

So now we talk on the phone
Sometimes there’s nobody home
How could something so right simply fall apart?

I heard you found someone new
Someone who understands you
That’s something I couldn’t do
Something I still regret, I still regret

You don’t love me like you used to
And it just don’t feel the same
You don’t love me like you used to
Honey I’m the one
I’m the one to blame
I’m the one to blame
