In your eyes Everything's alright Still my heart is tangled in your net My mind is trying to forget your lies Felt so high By your side My heart is tangled in your net My mind is trying to forget your lies And though you were a fantasy A fiction tailor-made for me I will love you For all of time And through the years breaking free Though dreams and lies wash over me I will love you For all of time It is what it is, what will be will be The cruellest twists of destiny I will love you For all of time Yes I will love you Yes I will love you Yes I will love you For all of time As shooting stars rain down on me In my dreams I know you'll be I will love you For all of time And though you were a fantasy A fiction tailor-made for me I will love you For all of time And through the years breaking free Though dreams and lies wash over me I will love you For all of time Yes I will love you Yes I will love you Yes I will love you For all of time

Oh darlin' Catch me if I fall You tell me you don't want me That the writing's on the wall Don't you know how How you make me fly away You take me up Up so high, to the edge of space Now I'm falling Like a feather to the floor Yeah you got me Lost in a free fall Don't you know how How you make me fly away You take me up Up so high to the edge of space Yeah, I'm falling Like a feather to the floor You got me Lost in a free fall I'm falling (and beauty's on the inside) Like a feather to the floor Yeah, you got me (and beauty's on the outside) Lost in a free fall

You say you love me Then you say we're through I'm black and blue From lovin' you Lost in this love What am I to do My faith in you Will see me through Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free Came to me From out of the blue Opened my eyes Made all this new In a time of crisis Who will you turn to I'm here for you You know it's true Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free You say you love me Then you say we're through I'm black and blue From lovin' you Lost in this love What am I to do My faith in you Will see me through Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free You say you love me Then you say we're through I'm black and blue From lovin' you Lost in this love What am I to do My faith in you Will see me through Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free Is this love meant to be (Oh) Or just set me free

Where do we go When we say goodbye When the veil slips away Like shooting stars Across the autumn sky We burn bright Then fade away Follow your hope Takin' you home Follow your dreams Through the night and day Cus' we are all ghosts Clad in flesh and bone Passing through this life today Guess we'll never know Why we're here and what we'll Find when the veil falls away Follow your hopes Takin' you home And follow your dreams Through the night and day Where do we go When we say goodbye When the veil finally falls away We'll never know In a world of lies Across that sea we'll sail someday So follow your hopes Takin' you home Follow your dreams All the night & day We are all ghosts Clad in flesh and bone Passing through this life today Like shooting stars Across the autumn sky We burn bright Then fade away Like shooting stars Across the autumn sky We burn bright Then fade away

Lost Soul 01:48
Soul Traveling home You're a lost soul Traveling home Although lies surround you Listen to the voice inside Calmly guiding you safely to your Soul Traveling home Soul Traveling back home Lost in a forest at night Trees of thought block out the light Find a clearing and listen to your Soul Callin' you back home You're a lost soul Traveling home You're a lost soul Traveling home You're a lost soul Traveling home

And if you want something That looks like love And if you need something That cooks like love When you've had enough Just give me a shove You could spend a thousand years Waiting for the one You could shed a thousand tears As your search goes on and on and on But if you want something That looks like love And if you need something That cooks like love Just give me a shove When you've had enough You could spend a thousand years Waiting for the one You could shed a thousand tears As your search goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on But if you want something That looks like love And if you need something That cooks like love When you've had enough Just give me a shove

Holdin' on You keep holdin' on Holdin' on to dreams and schemes Of things that were just never meant to be Hope is gone Still you're holdin' on Ruminating on the thought Of a bright and beautiful reality When will you start livin' in the moment And let the chips fall where they may Take a chance and live in the moment Ain't it time you start living for today Holdin' on You keep holdin' on Holdin on to dreams and schemes Of things that were just never meant to be Hope is gone Still you're holdin' on Ruminating on the thought Of a bright and beautiful reality When will you start livin' in the moment Just let the chips fall where they may Take a chance and live in the moment Time to start living for today
9.
Once I was in love with you Once I was broken and blue Now I'm flyin', flyin' away Now I'm flyin', flyin' today Once I was down on the floor Now I don't need you no more Yes I'm flying, flyin away Won't look back, don't need you today Once I felt warm in your arms Once I was lost in your charms Now I'm flying, flyin away Won't look back, don't need you today Flyin' away from you yes it's true To a life that is bright and new Far away from succubus soul like you Once I was in love with you Yes I know it's strange but it's true

Halloween 03:01
Gained an hour of day Lost an hour of light Gained an hour of day Lost an hour of light All the saints and all the lonely sinners All the angels and all of the unclean All the old souls and all of the beginners Reaching out to you this Halloween Gained an hour of day Lost an hour of light Gained an hour of day Lost an hour of light Can you feel a calling from the wilderness All the pious and all of the profane All the dreams and schemes that have unravelled Can you hear them calling out your name Gained an hour of day Lost an hour of light Gained an hour of day Lost an hour of light All the saints and all the lonely sinners All the stars and all of those unseen All the old souls and all of the beginners Reaching out to you this Halloween

Staring up on a starry night At a thousand Suns Saving up for a rainy day That never comes And this world keeps turning round Tell me what new have you found Spinning round our local star Once a year Tell me have you overcome Those archaic fears And this world keeps turning round Tell me what new have you found Staring up on a starry night At a thousand Suns Saving up for a rainy day That never comes Spinning round our local star Once a year Tell me have you overcome Those archaic fears

Paradise 02:35
What can I say Sometimes a curveball comes your way Knocks you for six And leaves you reelin' on the floor It's a game you don't wanna play And it's a struggle makin' it through the day Left feelin' so insecure Take your time You'll be fine Those hopes you held so tight Now they seem far out of sight Don't know what is wrong and what is right Just believe in your dreams They will light you through this lonely moment And lead you on home to paradise Know in time You'll be fine Take your time You'll be fine Fairy lights will guide your way Along an enchanted journey Down the path to your personal paradise Just believe in your dreams They will light you through this lonely moment And lead you on home to paradise Lead you on home to paradise They will lead you on home to paradise Lead you on home to paradise
13.
Sleep walkin' through your day Out sight, out of mind Conscience gettin' in the way Surprising what you could find Go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Just go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Fear is driftin' through your days Like a ghost, inside your mind Seem so lost but who's to say When you're home or miles away Gotta know there's a better way Just reach out and seize the day Be the hunter, not the prey Go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Just go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Out sight, is out of mind Could have been a friend of mine Out of luck and out of time Go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Just go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright Just go there tonight Where your dreams shine so bright
14.
Talking in your sleep again Cryptic words race through your mind Secrets that you keep and yet I am yours and you are mine Speaking in tongues you make no sense But it's music to my ears Walking in your sleep again Wondering into the night Secrets that we keep and yet An angel's love can never die Speaking in tongues you make no sense But it's music to my ears Singing in your sleep again Though the words are out of time Moments I will keep forever I am yours and you are mine Feel my love surround you Though mystery confounds you Nothing left for you to do now Feel my love surround you Though mystery confounds you Nothing left for you to do One more time for old-time's sake I swear I'll sing along Singing in your sleep again Though the words are out of time Moments I will keep forever I am yours and you are mine Talking in your sleep again Cryptic words race through your mind Secrets that you keep and yet I am yours and you are mine Singing in your sleep again Though the words are out of time Moments I will keep forever I am yours and you are mine
15.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel When there's hope in your heart There will be a brighter tomorrow Make a brand new start Face your fear it will disappear Open your eyes to the beauty that's around you There's a light at the end of the tunnel When there's hope in your heart Sometimes life comes and bursts your bubble Tears your world apart But there's a light at the end of the tunnel When there's hope in your heart So, climb that mountain of fear The view from the top will be so clear There's a light at the end of the tunnel When there's hope in your heart There will be a brighter tomorrow Make a brand new start There's a light at the end of the tunnel When there's hope in your heart
