Foolish Heart
I held your hand so fair
And like the morning sun
We cause an ancient rhyme
Oh I will laugh, I will cry
For you
Like the wind that blows
The stars that shine
The cool of night
My ivory moon
The wind that calls
The stars will shine
And I will come
And you will say
This is enough
Of me and my foolish heart
My foolish heart
Oh you will take my hand
And we will wander far away
Oh you will take my hand
And I will follow

Its Better This Way
Answers can come too late
And time is not one to wait
I no longer believe
Feelings of deep despair
I tell myself I dont care
It wasnt meant to be
Maybe its better this way
Maybe its better than the games we used to play
Maybe its better this way
Wont give in to fear of falling
When I hear tomorrow calling
If I should fee the need
You know that my heart must bleed
I will not touch that phone
And maybe Ill mourn my loss
But after the caring stops
Desire turns to stone
Pride has taken hold of me
I must escape this apathy
And should wake to deep regret, Id suffer

Raindance
If paradise is such a fragile affair
Then why have we the lions share?
As if we walk the earth alone
Like infants breaking the cradle
There isnt anything we fail to corrupt
The flip-side of the midas touch
Were walking in a world of glass
With iron footsteps
We do the raindance every night
And I hope the gods will treat us right
And if the sky should tumble down
Will it quench out thirst or crush us to the ground?
Have you a ticket to the greatest event?
The world inside a circus tent
Where clowns debate disarmament
And wildlife live within cages
The parody is never far from the truth
And mankind is the living proof
A dying planet in our arms
We walk the tightrope

Dont Say Its Love
Weve had it good for years now
Dont let the change
Weve never needed answers
To find the way
Now all of a sudden
Like waves on a beach
Love has come crashing down
The truth has been lost and found
(chorus)
Dont say its love, baby
cos you are to me
What you want to be
Dont say its love, baby
If our friendship is to survive
Dont say its love
Weve shared so many secrets
Now kiss and tell
You make one move to love me
And its farewell
cos somewhere theres someone

Your Mistake
Hello again
I guess you're in trouble
You pretend that nothing's wrong
You call me up
When you've got a problem
Silence when the problems gone
You think I'm so easy
But you're never further from the truth
Every time it rings
I know it's you
There's nothing left to say
This torch has burned away
You took too long I could not wait
I do believe there's nothing left to say
All your life
So much attention
A camera flash and you turn your head
I'll tell you now
Would it make any difference
You never listened to a word I said

True Confessions
I never doubted a single word
I put my trust in your hands
And in the wake of a fatal vow
I thought that love was the plan
But see how the tables have turned
And nothing is sacred
The lesson is there to be learned
By tearing the mask from your face
Now its time for true confessions
I wanna know what you want from me
For true confessions
I need to know why you show no sympathy
The satisfaction you take in this
Is growing ever more clear
If truth be known in this bitter dawn
Its like you never were here
The struggle for my self-respect
Has never been harder
And if I have any regrets
Its knowing you wasted my life

I Dont Want To Be A Hero
Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I wont pull the trigger
Out destiny is here
neath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter
Now dont be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
Its an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking life
(chorus)
I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont want to be a hero
Oh send me off to war
In a far away land
I never knew existed
Subject me to the truth

Drowning My Sorrows
I read the letter through a haze of alcohol
A close encounter with the weak and pitiful
Although my conscience said shes absolutely right
The thought was buried in the blindness of the night
Im free at last
Im drinking to the past
Those best-forgotten memories are fading fast
And now Im drowning my sorrows
Heres to you
Dreams of love are finally through
And when Im frowning my sorrows
Life is sweet
The bitter world is an echo in my heartbeat
The chair is empty where I slaved my years away
Please save your tears for someone elses rainy day
Where once your picture stood, a bottles in its place
Another chapter in my epic fall form grace
I cant believe
That you are so naive
To think that losing you would give me cause to grieve

Autumn Years
Picking up the pieces of my life
I wonder why the hell I ever came here
A man without a future left to face
And nothing but a memory to embrace
Holding on to threads of sanity
Imagining the roads I could have taken
It fills me with a deepening sense of shame
And outside I can hear the pouring rain
There is a place
Where in my mind I escape
And there I understand the way I feel
And deep in this world of make-believe
I will spend my autumn years with you
Sitting in this grey and sunless world
I try to come to terms with guilty feelings
A man about to pay the final price
And nothing but his breath to sacrifice
Therell be a time
When Ill be gone from your mind
A fading ghost that soon will disappear

Crown Of Thorns
You were yesterdays hero
An ordinary man of flesh and blood
Took the world on your shoulders
A hopeless crusade, and act of love
But its a world obsessed with religion
And now you wear the face of a god
Like the words you said, youre as good as dead
Just a work of art on the wall
And thats why nobody wears a crown of thorns
Nobody cares
Nobody wears a crown of thorns anymore
Holy men talk of hunger
While standing beneath a cross of gold
And there are preachers on the tv
In their thousand dollar suits, who sell your soul
To think you died for what you believed in
Only to be exploited and used
Now youre supermen from the promised land
Just a vision of hollywood
