You say you’re done fussin’ and fightin’ Your patience wearin’ way past thin You’re up to here with all the lonely This is where we begin Now this is so much more than romance Crystal clear right from the start We fit together now in any kind of weather You open my heart - whoa my heart Ain’t no wrong way about it Honey it’s plain to see We never need to doubt it Love wins again! Sorrow’s all the way over Baby I guarantee Walkin’ in four leaf clover Love wins again! Babe listen I got news now The birds are singin’ it from the trees They ain’t any better time than the present If you believe … it can be Like a drunken fighter You’re swingin’ right with all your might Better drop the gloves - just feel the love I swear We start tonight

Real Slow 03:51
Take your time. What’s your rush Everything moves so fast. Everyone’s so tough I’ve been down so long Don’t know which way is up But what you do to me I just can’t get enough And when you takin’ your time Real slow And we’re lost in the moment When you’re lifting me up So high And we’re lost in the moment Free your mind and just let yourself go I wanna feel you body moving up against me Real slow! All those other people Well they’re acting insane But you know how how much I want you Got me feeling deranged You know I want you so bad I’ll do anything you want Your love’s takin me Up where where I wanna be Higher and higher we go Your love’s lifting me Up where I wanna be (Darlin’) yeah when you take it real slow Bridge All we have is here and now That’s alright with me Got time for no regrets Let’s do it again Let’s do it again

When the lights go lower And everything feels right It’s been a long long day now darlin’ But you make it alright Nobody knows - the places we go When you hold me - when you hold me Darlin’ when you hold me Everything’s alright Alright, alright, alright I’m alive - in the moment Just you and me alone I’m riding high on this on emotion In your arms I’m home Everyone knows, I’m a fool for you Cos it feels so true Ooh ooh ooh ooh Everything is alright now Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Say You Will 03:50
She kept her heart a sacred place Like the center of a spark from a fire flame She didn’t think there was way To believe in a man or the words he say Then she saw the heavens rain - rain down Answering her prayers that day - she says … I want a love that won’t run out And if you’re the one, I’ve been dreamin’ bout The baby just say you will Keep me close when the nights get colder Say you will Be my strength when I need your shoulder This life cuts through you heart like An arrow straight through your soul Baby please say you will - say you will When she allowed herself to love There was always a danger of breakin’ up Cause that’s all that she’s ever known Love had never had a place in her home Then she saw the heavens rain - it rained down Answerin’ her prayer that day - she said … I want a love that won’t run out And if you the one, I’ve been dreamin’ bout Then baby please say you will … She’s never gonna look away again She’s always gonna stand and take her turn She’s never gonna listen when they say That maybe this is more than you deserved She’s always gonna stand and take her turn She’s never gonna listen when they say She don’t deserve it

Doorway 03:57
Tell me what you think you’re hearin’ The devil tappin’ on your door again? You wear that guilt like a jacket A gift from your only friend Maybe you need to feel a little future Just walk from the past If you need some help with this redemption I’ll give you that And I’ll stand in your doorway ‘Til all your pain is gone I swear that I forgive you It’s been too long It’s been so long Tell me what you think you’re doin’ You really gonna walk away again? You’d think that after a lifetime You’d be so damn tired of sayin’ when I’m only here because you see me I’m not here at all But if you need a ghost for absolution I’ll take the fall And i’ll stand in your doorway ‘Til all your fear is gone Until your heart is quiet It’s been too long … What’s the sound it’s footsteps falling The devil as he walks away from here Just get some sleep, when you wake up I’ll still be here
6.
You could have told me baby That I was never gonna be The same after you touched me I should have known it darlin’ But I was just too entranced to see And all of these nights And every brand new day Is proof, pain and simple That we were meant to stay But you should have told me baby That your kiss would be the end of me How could I see it baby? When you suddenly appeared Come that change in the atmosphere. Temperature's risin’ darlin’ So much heat whenever you come near, so near And all of this love In each and every way Is proof plain and simple There’ll be no love in vain You could have told me baby That your kiss would cast a spell on me I wasn’t lookin’ baby But then you, you come along And your gravity’ just so stong You’re like a fire darlin’ And I held my hand out too long And all these new feelings And every heavy breath Is proof plain and simple That you might be the best But you shoulda told my baby That your eyes would never let me be … let me be

Get up your house is burnin’ down Somebody needs to fix some things round here Before it burns down to the ground Oh get up there ain’t no time to waste Somebody needs to roll a sleeve up here And get to work before it’s too late Too late Brother to brother and hand to hand Starting today, I’m gonna say it again Woman to woman and skin to skin This is the day that we begin Take it back, got to try Cause the whole round world is on fire See the flames, everywhere Better raise up your voice if ya dare Everybody running from place to place Better stop now or we lose this race Gotta break it down, gotta break this spell Dig a little deeper down in your well Brother to brother and hand to hand Starting today, I’m gonna say it again Woman to woman and skin to skin This is the day that we begin To get up, break the chain Make it right, start again See the flames everywhere Got to rise on up if you care
8.
Tell me that you’re just frustrated And you don’t really mean those thing you say You’re throwin’ words just like a hatchet at a tree Don’t chop me down today I guess everybody gets a little leeway Just not when it makes some others bleed Do you really throw your love out like a mattress On the street When it’s time to leave? And I know, I should know by now Sometimes that thing that you fight for Is gone when you turn around You might say that it’s all meant to be But it’s just another lesson to me Once we were so strong and honest Then winter came along and took our strength Soon enough the honest left Now we’re throwing innuendo And wondering where our future went Where it went La la la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la Say that you’re you’re frustrated And you don’t really mean those words you say Or say what you want - it won’t matter I don’t hear you anyway

Rain Down 04:01
Lost my way, in the dark black Heaven knows, I’d still be there - ‘til this day Ain’t no grace In a life long serenade - of this pain In this place A familiar bitter taste of contentment - I felt safe So I prayed Cause I heard that seasons change - and they Changed I’ve been down - done my days with tears and gin Was bound - by a circumstantial fear within But now - the waters washed away my sins Rain down I escaped, with a locket on a chain Singing hosana, hosana, hosana If I’m not safe, you can tell me to my face I’ll be brave All I found, all I found was belief Turns out, it’s all I’ll ever need
10.
Put a candle in the window Cause I feel, I got to move Oh, I’m gone, gone I’ll be comin’ home soon Long as I can see the light Pack my bag and let’s get movin’ ‘Cause I’m bound to drift a while When I’m gone, gone You don’t have to worry long Long as I can see the light Guess I’ve got that old travellin’ bone Cause this feelin’, won’t leave me alone But I won’t, I won’t losin’ my way, no As long as I can see the light Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
11.
There it goes - running away again Old man time I guess we should make amends I was tired before this began There it goes running Away again And as the last light calls I take my place But as the curtain calls The question remains Who will come for me? Who will come for me? When all my youth is spent - I can’t see where It went Who will come for me? Heaven knows - time can see you bend We’re just leaves - flowing where the water Intends Hands grow old and sun shines gold As the heart lines deepen There it goes running away again Oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh
