SLOW DOWN

Do you have to leave now?
Do you have to go?
I know the world is racing
And time never stops I know
But nothing’s really changing
So what’s another day?
How can you close your eyes
And how can you turn away?
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
And stay awhile
Don’t you make me wait here
And walk the shore alone
And only think about you
And kiss you on the phone
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
And stay awhile

NOTHING’S BEEN LOST

Take your hand away from your face
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
And watch your house go up in flames
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
When you sit counting every wave
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
And you stare straight out into space
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost
Nothing’s been lost

SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD

Somewhere down the road
I’ll see you again
I don’t know when
But I know you’ll be the same
And I know I’ll be the same
Unchanged
You’ll free me again
But I’ll never be free
From memories
And I know your life will change
And I know my life will change
Unchained
Unchained unchained
We drift away
Like roses on the sea
Stars in the sky
They’re always alone
They’re on their own
But you know they’ll always shine
And I know they’ll always shine
All time

THIS IS GOODBYE

Finding it hard to live with the past
I knew from the start it couldn’t last
O tell me I know you wouldn’t lie
Watching the rain fall from the sky
Heart filled with pain, wanting to die
O help me I know you wouldn’t lie
O help me I know this is goodbye

NO MORE

You watch your footsteps in a dream
You climb a staircase and turn a key
And walk in through the open door
Where you once lived years before
Years before
But then it all goes just as fast
You reach your hand out to touch the past
Touch the past
So don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
No more
Cause then a day comes suddenly
When you miss your misery
Like a person you once adored
But who you don’t see anymore
Anymore
So don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
No more

DOWN

Down down down down
Down down keep it low
We’ve got, we’ve got
No place to go
So down down
Keep it down
Down down
Keep it down
Somewhere I got off the right road
Somewhere somewhere somewhere
Long ago
So down down
Keep it down

THE SPEED OF SOUND

I keep looking down the road
Out the window
High and low
The gold horizon is halfway gone
The sea is shining
It ripples on
I keep waiting for a change
A new direction
Some exchange
The moon is rising
It’s getting late
It’s always timing
You have to wait
Don’t it make you wanna stick around
When your plane is lifting off the ground
Moving faster than the speed of sound
Is it written in the stars
Where we’ve been and where we are
And where we’re going?
I don’t know
There’s nothing showing but the glow
Don’t it make you wanna stick around
When your plane is lifting off the ground
Moving faster than the speed of sound

NO WAY OUT

In the shadows we were caught
Lost in time and lost in thought
No way out
Then our hands turned cold as steel
Got so numb we couldn’t feel
No way out
No way out
In the shadows we were young
Waved goodbye to everyone
No way out
No way out

STILL SLEEPING

Wait what do you win
Saving time for nothing
And if you say you’re going blind
You’re not looking
Stop but don’t you end
Saving love for no one
And if you say it’s just a dream
You’re still sleeping
So the wind blows
The sun won’t shine
Down on your door
So the time goes
Faster than it did before
It’s not for nothing
Why would you stay in
Saving space for nowhere
And if you say it makes no sense
You’re not listening
And if you say it’s just a dream
You’re still sleeping

HOLDING YOUR HAND

Holding your hand
You are so lovely
I understand
Nothing at all
Holding your hand
Holding your hand
I won’t let it fall
To your side
Holding your hand
Holding your hand
Touching your hair
I feel so ugly
I can’t compare
To you at all
Touching your hair
Touching your hair
I won’t let it fall
In your eyes
Touching your hair
Touching your hair
Oh my love
What are you thinking of today?
I won’t let you fall
To the side
Holding your hand
Holding your hand

COME ON BACK

Come on back
Don’t be long
Come on back
Come on
You were right
I was wrong
Come on back
Come on home
I watched you go
Around the bend
But I know
It’s not the end
Come on back
Don’t be long
Come on back
Come on home
You’re flying away
Through the clouds
You’re flying away
From me now
Come on back
Don’t be long
Come on back
Come on home
