Time at the wheel
Through the dark and empty skies
I gently sail
No wind, no sound and still
Five hundred light years to Jupiter
Stars drifting by
I watch them on the video
As I fly
Like jewels that paint the sky
Five hundred light years to Jupiter
I can't wait to see your face
But I'm a million miles from home
I'm lost in time and space
And I miss you so

Lorraine
03:58
|
|||
I can see by your smile
You're a lady of pleasure
But pleasure for you
Could mean only gain
Come sit by my side
And I'll tell you a story
Of someone I knew
A girl called Lorraine
Please don't be alarmed
I would not harm you
I won't steal your rings
I won't cause you pain
But just for tonight
Would you wear this fine perfume?
And I'll call you my love
I'll call you Lorraine
We spend all our time reaching up
And we climb till our heads spin around
But we all must return to the ground
She was young just like you
But she was cold and she was lonely
And caught in a web
In a tangle of shame
But she loved me I knew
Though her lovers were many
She could never be true
A girl like Lorraine
I can see in your eyes
That you think me a strange one
Using disguise
Changing your name
Please don’t be afraid
Let me finish my story
There’s a lesson to learn
And a truth to be gained
We spend all our time reaching up
And we climb till our heads spin around
But we all must return to the ground
She was found in her room
With her only real lover
A needle of death
Flowing into her veins
And I never knew
And I'll never discover
Just what was the dream
That you searched for Lorraine?
If you now wish to go
You can stand up and leave me
Knowing that you’ll
Never see me again
But just for tonight
If I pay for your favours
Would you bring back my love?
Would you be my Lorraine?
We spend all our time reaching up
And we climb till our heads spin around
But we all must return to the ground

Wesley Fair
03:57
|
|||
I recall as a free, young man I would visit Wesley Fair
And once on a bright, summer night I saw her dancing there
I was only a poor man's son and she was a Gypsy Queen
And far the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen
Peope came from miles around and paid just to watch her dance
I was only a face in the crowd but I somehow caught her glance
Hypnotised by her deep, blue eyes and her long, black, raven hair
Oh, I fell in love that night with the girl at Wesley Fair
Run while you can, boy, run
She wasn't meant for a poor man's son
Run while you can, boy, run
Listen to your heart and be gone
I had never been alive before till the joy that I knew that night
We made love in her caravan by in the flicker of the campfire light
Then she lay like a child in my arms and somehow turned so pale
And as I brushed a tear from her eye she told me her woeful tale
She was running from an evil man who filled her heart with fear
He would surely put an end to her life if he came and he found her here
So bewitched and in love was I that I promised her then and there
That I'd fight the Devil that night if he came to Wesley Fair
Run while you can, boy, run
She wasn't meant for a poor man's son
Run while you can, boy, run
Listen to your heart and be gone
Now you find me in a prison cell, sentenced to lose my life
For the murder of an honest man who came to reclaim his wife
There's a lesson to be learned, my friend, better tread this way with care
And don't make the same mistake with the girl at Wesley Fair

Trust Me One More Time
04:01
|
|||
On Friday, take the riverboat
Down to Lander's Creek
Stay out there a little while
Better stay the week
Then catch the train for Aulandaire
Change at Stockley Ridge
When you arrive, I'll be there
Waiting out on the bridge
Oh. I know I'm asking such a lot from you
But you gotta trust me
If you still love me
You see I killed a man in Porterville
Though it was self defense
But the law says I've gotta stand for trial
I wouldn't stand a chance
Cos the folks down there, they never took to me
I had to turn and run
They'd hang me as soon as look at me
What else could I have done?
Oh, I know you think that I'm just using you again
But you gotta see me
You gotta believe me
I know the way I've treated you is a crime
But I'm asking you to trust me one more time
Oh, I know you think that I'm just using you again
But you gotta tell me
You gotta help me
I know the way I've treated you is a crime
But I'm asking you to trust me one more time
I need someone to run with me
I need someone like you
I need you here to comfort me
And tell me what to do
My life is hanging on a shoestring
Please don't let me down
I've never needed anything
The way I need you now
Oh, I know you think that I'm doing this all wrong
But you gotta see me
You gotta believe me
I know the way I've treated you is a crime
But I'm asking you to trust me one more time

Suraya
03:04
|
|||
Suraya, you are my guiding star
Suraya, as I watch from afar
Suraya, you are all that I need
And I'm travelling to be where you are
Suraya, can it really be you?
Suraya, can your heart still be true?
Suraya, you can show me the light
Lead me out of the night
Out of the dark
Suraya, could you ever forgive?
Does the fire still burn?
Does the spirit still live?
Suraya, are you here to reveal
All the love that you feel in your heart?
Suraya, I'll do all that you say
Suraya, just allow me to stay
Where you are
I'll do what you command
Won't you reach out your hand?
Suraya

On The City Streets
03:16
|
|||
He leaves you standing by the street light
Dressed you up to make it look right
A painted smile upon your sad face
We've gotta leave this rat race
I can't just stand here watching you
When you're going wrong
You know I love you, baby
And this is crazy
Oh, no, there's gotta be another way
We can't put up with this another day
I can't let you breathe this atmosphere
Oh. no. I gotta get you outa here
You're slowly sinking under
It won't be long
There's only backstreet lovers
You've known no others
You've gotta keep your life together
So you sell yourself for pleasure
On the city streets
But it all means nothing
When the taste of loving
Is so bitter-sweet
I only wanna do what's right
I've got to get you out of this life

Certain People
03:48
|
|||
Certain people just have what it takes
Certain people don't make bad mistakes
And even if they're not quite what they seem
They pretend and follow their dream
I was never a confident guy
I was always too quiet and shy
Stood and watched as the world passed me by
But it's strange how you can change
You're the reason I do what I do
The only reason I live is for you
I don't know where it's leading us to
But we're certain people, we'll make it through
You're the reason I am what I am
And what the world thinks, I don't give a damn
If you love me the way I love you
Then we're certain people, we'll make it through
Used to think there was no one for me
All alone and that's how it would be
Then I found you, now I'm not afraid
Can't believe the difference you've made
You're the reason I do what I do
The only reason I live is for you
I don't know where it's leading us to
But we're certain people, we'll make it through
You're the reason I am what I am
And what the world thinks, I don't give a damn
If you love me the way I love you
Then we're certain people, we'll make it through

Midnight
04:05
|
|||
Something's making me feel uneasy tonight
Can't stop looking behind me, walking in the moonlight
Don;t know what's out of place, but I know it's not right
And was that look on your face just a trick of the light?
No I'm not staying in the shadows with you
I'll be home by midnight
I've got to stop this hoodoo feeling before it's begun
You do voodoo knew you'd catch me on the run
If you're out to steal my soul just for sheer delight
Well, I'm not losing control, but then I just might
So I'm not taking any chances with you
I'll be home by midnight
What's that change in your eyes and strange kinda laugh?
I swear you're casting a spell, they call it witchcraft
And I can hardly speak, the way you excite
And now I'm getting too weak to put up a fight
Oh, I'd better keep my distance from you
And get me home by midnight

Night Bird
03:09
|
|||
Just when the time is getting late
I feel my heart is gonna break
Cos I know she's wide awake
Like a night bird
I hear her footstep on the stairs
Telling me to mind my own affairs
If you don't agree, who cares?
She's a night bird
I just can't take it anymore
I see her walking out the door
Just what is she looking for?
And where is she going to?
What's she gong there to do?
Is she just as lonely too?
Like a night bird

Good To Me
03:49
|
|||
I'm no fool
I know fine well what you come here for
I'm no handsome lover boy
I'm no movie star
I don't care if you like me or not
I don't care how many lovers you got
Don't mind 'long as you appear
And you come 'round here
And you're good to me
Good as you can be
I'm no fool
I know the thought of me isn't your desire
The gentle touch of my hand
Doesn't set you on fire
But I don't care if you can't give me love
That's the last thing I'm thinking of
Don't mind, just you appear
And come 'round here
And be good to me
Good as you can be
I'm no fool
I know what I got is what you need
Money never grew on trees
And you got mouths to feed
I don't care about your troubles at home
I got enough worries of my own
And I don't need any more
Just come 'round my door
And be good to me
Good as you can be
