Waiting in the wings
She was standing in the dark,
waiting in the wings,
just around the next dream
She was holding all the keys
to set my heart free,
behind the shadows of love
From the distance I could see
her standing alone,
shine like a jewel in the night
Hidden from the eyes,
a thief of the soul,
behind the shadows of love
Set me on fire with the stories you tell,
drown in an ocean of dreams
Close to the flame on wings of desire,
nothing’s what it seems
She was waiting oustside with thumbs open wide,
waiting to break my heart's fall
Oh, the lighting in her eyes,
I learned how to fly,
behind the shadow of love
Set me on fire with the stories you tell,
drown in an ocean of dreams
Close to the flame on wings of desire,
nothing's what it seems

Where is the world
Maybe the sun will go on shining
Maybe the stars fall from the skies
Where there's a river flowing,
there is no way of knowing
where it goes, no one knows
Maybe the rain will go on falling
Maybe the mountains touch the skies
Where there's a cold wind blowing,
there is no way of knowing
where it goes, no one knows
Living alone in the city,
all of our dreams left behind
In every life there are seasons of laughter and sorrow
Where in the world did our love go?
When did our dreams say goodbye?
Living alone in the city,
all of our dreams left behind
In every life there are seasons of laughter and sorrow
Where in the world did our love go?
Where did our dreams choose to hide?
Where in the world did our love go?
When did our dreams say goodbye?
Where in the world did our love go?
Where in the world did our love go?
Where in the world,
where in the world,
where in the world did our love go?

High Cost Of Loving
The price is gettin' higher every day
When it comes to good loving, it's the same old way
The high cost of love, getting higher every day
And the less I get the more I have to pay
Came home with the groceries, you said you need some more
I gave you my last two dollars, you said you need three or four
High cost of love, gettin' higher every day
Seems like the less I get the more I have to pay
Bought you a leather coat, you said you wanted mink
The way you spend my money, you think you're married to a bank
High cost of love, gettin' higher every day, yeah
Seems like the less I make the more I have to pay
Where I live they wanna raise my rent
Before I make a dollar, you know it's, it's already spent
The high cost of love, gettin' higher every day
Seems like the less I get the more I have to pay
Seems like the less I get the more I have to pay
Seems like the less I get the more I have to pay
Good night

Why Does Love (Have To Go Wrong)?
Take a look in the mirror,
what do you see?
Take a look deep inside you,
are you still free?
There is no peace of mind
when love turns so unkind.
Why does love have to go wrong?
When we try hard to hold on.
Why does love have to go wrong?
Take a look all around you,
what do you see?
Through the pain that surrounds you,
are you still free?
There are no words to say
when the light fades to grey
Why does love have to go wrong?
When we try hard to hold on
Why does love have to go wrong?
Just a moment and it's gone
Take a look in the mirror,
what do you see?
There's a place deep inside you,
set yourself free
There is no place to hide
when all the flames have died
Why does love have to go wrong?
When we try hard to hold on
Why does love have to go wrong?
Just a moment and it's gone

City of gold
In my home of sand, outside the city of gold
Well, the wind's so burning hot, but my heart remains so cold
I need to buy myself some answers,
but the truth's already been sold
Well, I know how to use a razor,
carve my initials in the light
Yes, I know how to use a razor,
carve my initials in the light
Sometimes in the depth of the dark, baby,
I can make everything all right
In my home of sand, outside the city of gold.
Well, the wind's so burning hot, but my heart remains so cold, yes it does
The shelter in your eyes, I dream about it when I die
Thirst for it when I cry, yeah
My home of sand, outside the city of gold
Well, the wind's so burning hot, but my heart remains so cold, it does
The shelter in your eyes, I dream about it when I die
Thirst for it when I cry
Yeah, na, na
Oh, my meal of salt on that table of stone
And my meal of salt on that table of stone, yeah
Your feat's so sweet while I thirst here all alone
My home of sand, outside the city of gold
Well, the wind's so burning hot, but my heart remains so cold, yes it does
I need to buy myself some aspirin,
but the truth's already been sold

Can' t fool the blues
You can fool the landlord so you don't pay the rent
You can fool the world and become the president
You can fool all the people some other time
You can make a million dollars and cry: I don't have a lousy dime
But you can't fool the blues
No, you can't fool the blues, yeah
When you're makin' all the rules,
it's so hard to lose,
but you can't fool the blues, oh no
You can fool the Romans into lending you an ear
Write a story in the papers believing every smear
You can fool the rich by driving in a wreck
You can get up someone's nose every time you bounce a cheque
But you can't fool the blues
No, you can't fool the blues, yeah
You can't fool the blues,
it just laughs at each lie
You can't fool the blues, oh no
Play it for me
You can fool your brother into lending you his car
Rub up the waitress for some coctails at the bar
You can talk some bimbo into taking you home
You can fool the wife into thinking you're alone
But you can't fool the blues
No, you can't fool the blues, yeah
Well, the blues chews you up
and spits you right out
You can't fool the blues, oh no, c' m on

Glory Days
Will we find a place in tomorrow?
Will we find the way to our dreams?
Will we shine our light through the darkest night,
till the morning?
Glory Days,
don't let these times be forgotten
Glory Days,
don't let them fade from our hearts
There's a time we left far behind us
Though the seeds of hope still remain
And the wheel must turn, but the fires still burn
in the morning
Glory Days,
don't let these times be forgotten
Glory Days,
don't let them fade from our hearts
Glory Days,
don't let these times be forgotten
Glory Days,
don't let them fade from our hearts
Oh, oh
Will we find ourselves in tomorrow?
Will we find a way to your dreams?
Will we shine so bright, turn your darkest night
to the morning?

Naked Flame
There's a place in my heart
where you used to be
There's a pain deep inside,
don't want the world to see
Nothing but emptiness,
once there was your caress
I was touched by your naked flame
Now, it was hard sometimes,
those things that we went through
But believe me when I say
I would never mean to hurt you
I hold the memory, holding you next to me,
in my arms like a naked flame
Think it over before you break my heart
Think it over before the cryin' starts
Then we can say goodbye to the tears
I should have known
that this time was acoming
But if you ever need me,
I'll come arunning home to you
There's a place in my dreams
where we used to meet
But there's no one around now,
it's just an empty street
I hold the memory, holding you close to me,
in my arms like a naked flame
In my heart burns a naked flame

Wrong Side Of Town
You've heard it said, I taught the bird to fly
One kiss from me and some can't say goodbye
The place you'll find me when the sun goes down,
after hours, on the wrong side of town
How many faces will I change today?
Take them to places where the shadows play
That's where you'll find me when the sun goes down,
after hours, on the wrong side of town
Lulled by the promise of a broken dream,
they all come looking for the answers
The question's never if and when they fall from grace,
after all, it's just a matter of time
Here comes another with a life to spare
So young and innocent but I know that stare
Just whistle Parker's Mood and I'll be there,
after hours, on the wrong side of town
After hours, on the wrong side of town
Stay away from the wrong side of town
