I Know You're Out There Somewhere

I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere, somewhere 
I know I'll find you somehow 
And somehow I'll return again to you. 

The mist is lifting slowly, 
I can see the way ahead 
And I've left behind the empty streets 
That once inspired my life 
And the strength of the emotion 
Is like thunder in the air 
'Cos the promise that we made each other 
Haunts me to the end. 

I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere, somewhere 
I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere you can hear my voice. 
I know I'll find you somehow, 
Somehow, somehow. 
I know I'll find you somehow 
And somehow I'll return again to you. 

The secret of your beauty 
And the mystery of your soul 
I've been searching for in everyone I meet 
And the times I've been mistaken 
It's impossible to say 
And the grass is growing 
Underneath our feet. 

I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere you can hear my voice. 
I know I'll find you somehow, 
Somehow, somehow. 
I know I'll find you somehow 
And somehow I'll return again to you. 

The words that I remember 
From my childhood still are true 
That there's none so blind 
As those who will not see 
And to those who lack the courage 
And say it's dangerous to try 
Well they just don't know 
That love eternal will not be denied. 

I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere, somewhere 
I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere you can hear my voice. 
I know I'll find you somehow, 
Somehow, somehow. 
I know I'll find you somehow 
And somehow I'll return again to you. 

Yes, I know it's going to happen, 
I can feel you getting near 
And soon we'll be returning 
To the fountain of our youth 
And, if you wake up wondering 
In the darkness, I'll be there. 
My arms will close around you 
And protect you with the truth. 

I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere, somewhere 
I know you're out there somewhere, 
Somewhere you can hear my voice. 
I know I'll find you somehow, 
Somehow, somehow. 
I know I'll find you somehow 
And somehow I'll return again to you.

Want To Be With You

When I think of all the things that we've been through
And all the things we've yet to do,
I... I start to realize
The world is such a lonely place.
Want to be with you

I remember all the heartaches we have known,
The angry nights when we were lonely.
The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you

I don't need a reason,
I don't need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you

Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.

And when I look back down that road
I see the turnings that we both made,
The choice we had to make
The promises we break
Are nothing more than memories.
Want to be with you.

The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you.

I don't need a reason,
I don't need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you.

Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.

River Of Endless Love

I'm looking for a better world
Where there's no more hurt,
Where there's only hope
For the eagle and the dove.
I can see your face,
Nothing can take your place
If we sail away on a river of endless love.

I'm living in the hands of time,
On the wings of love,
On the edge of night,
Where there's darkness everywhere.
I won't be denied,
I'm never going to leave your side,
I will always be
On the river of endless love

In the silence just before the dawn
The shadows lose their form.
We rise to greet the morning.
In the calm that comes before the storm
A troubled and a restless heart is born.
The river of endless love

I'm tearing down the walls of hate,
Gonna start again, gonna turn it round,
Gonna build it with a prayer.
I can always dream
And nothing is what it seems.
If you lose your way
You can always find us there.

In the silence just before the dawn
The shadows lose their form
We rise to greet the morning
In the calm that comes before the storm
A troubled and a restless heart is born
The river of endless love

No More Lies

I need you like you need me:
Truly and completely,
Never be apart.
I think that you should tell me,
Come right out and tell me,
Just what's in your heart.

And, if you think that it's alright,
Let's make a deal and work it out.
We'll walk into the sunset, you and I,
With no more alibis
When we tell each other:
No more lies.

Well, truth is my addiction,
Stranger still than fiction,
Wider than the sky,
And songs that have such feeling.
Words that have such meaning,
Dreams that never die.

And, if you think that it's alright,
Let's turn around and start again.
We'll walk beside the ocean, hand in hand,
With no more alibis
When we tell each other:
No more lies

I sometimes think that, maybe,
You're just a little girl.
You know I love you, baby,
I've got to tell the world

So that's the final story,
The truth in all it's glory.
See how much I care.
You know you drive me crazy,
Thrill me and amaze me,
Drive me to despair

And, if you think that now feels right,
Let's close the door and dim the light.
We'll greet the dawn together, side by side.
Just look into my eyes
'Cause you know I'll tell you:
No more lies

Here Comes The Weekend

Somewhere in the night
There's a heart that beats so fast
I can feel the heat
Of the fire in your eyes,
Burning like a naked flame,
Waiting for the ice to break,
Counting down the days,
Waiting for the weekend

Lonely is the night.
Silence is a friend to walk with,
With no one else to talk to.

But, on a Friday night,
It's alright, it's alright.
You can be who you want to be.
Take off for the weekend.
If you can dance you can dance with me
'Cos it's Friday night.

It's alright, it's alright.
Nothing's gonna stop me now.
I'm all wired up and ready to go,
I'm on my way.
Let's get on with the show

Here comes the weekend.
Here comes the weekend.

Somewhere in the heat
There's a heart that beats so fast
I can hear your voice:
Talk to me tonight.
Taking a different face
Every time I hear your name.
I'm counting down the days
Waiting for the weekend

Lonely is the night
When all are sleeping.
Silence is a friend you walk with,
With no one else to talk to

But, on a Friday night,
It's alright, it's alright.
You can be who you want to be.
Take off for the weekend.
If you dance you can dance with me
'Cos it's Friday night.
It's alright, it's alright.

Nothing's gonna stop me now,
I'm all wired up and ready to go
And I'm on my way.
It's the weekend
And it's starting today.

Here comes the weekend.
Here comes the weekend.

Vintage Wine

I remember the taste of the vintage wine
From '63 through to '69
And I'm proud of the things we believed in then.
If I had the chance I'd go around again

Oh I tell you,
We were young and free.
Oh I'll tell you
'Cause I was there, you see.

And I look to the future with open arms
And the songs that flow from my old guitar
And I want to be there when the music plays
And the lights go up on the empty stage.

Oh I tell you
Music set me free.
Oh I tell you,
It sounds so good to me.

And if you're into wandering
Underneath the stars,
We'll take the trip together
Through this magic world of ours.

And if you're still uncertain
Just what we can be
Well, baby, make your mind up,
Get your things and follow me.

'Cause if you're into romance baby
Love will find a way
And if you're into dreaming
Dream with me.

I remember the sounds of the children's' prayer
The laughing eyes and the golden hair
And, as hard as I try,
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of them.

I tell you
We can be so free.
Oh I tell you,
If you'll be there with me

Breaking Point

Is that the wind
On your face?
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?

Feel the chill
Of an empty space.
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?

In the middle of the night
Is that your heart you hear
Or a train to nowhere,
That pounding in your ear?

Have you reached your breaking point?
Have you reached your breaking point tonight?

Only when you're sleeping can you drift away.
No one can hurt you.
Listen to the secret of your dreams.
Though you want to sleep forever
Still you must return

Hands of ice
Down your spine.
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?

Feel the grip
Of a clinging vine.
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?

In the middle of the night
Is that your voice I hear
Or the wind that's calling
Back across the years?

Have you reached your breaking point?
Have you reached your breaking point tonight?

Miracle

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June.
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July.
Why this hesitation?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
Wanna drown in the ocean of your love,
Wanna dance in the moonlight
Looking for a miracle

I left the city on a wave of despair
To stand on my own
On an August night.
From the valley of broken hearts
Gonna make a new start in September.
Why this confusion?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night,
Dream about a miracle
Looking for a miracle.

Never had the chance before
To turn the tide my way.
In the heat of the summer night
You took my breath away
Looking for a miracle.

Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night,
Dream about a miracle.
Your love is just a miracle.

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June.
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July.
Why this hesitation?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
Wanna drown in the ocean of your love,
Wanna dance in the moonlight
Looking for a miracle.
Looking for a miracle.

Love Is On The Run

Just because it's raining here
It doesn't mean the sun isn't shining
Somewhere else for someone
You have loved
But who's not near you anymore.

When your love is on the run
Don't fall apart at what's begun
It's just the healing process
Of your heart.

When your dream has lost its cause
Don't waste your time in closing doors,
You'll be the last to know
When love has gone.

Love is on the run.
Love is on the run.
Love is on the run from me.

Love is on the run.
Love is on the run.
Love is on the run from me.

Couldn't find the words to say I love you.
Couldn't fight the hurt of holding on.
Couldn't hope.
Couldn't dream.
Couldn't see tomorrow.
Without your love
I can't go on.

Love is on the run.
Love is on the run.
Love is on the run from me.

When your love is on the run
Don't fall apart at what's begun.
It's just the healing process
Of your heart.

When your dream has lost it's cause
Don't waste your time in closing doors,
You'll be the last to know
When love has gone.

Love is on the run.
Love is on the run.
Love is on the run from me.

Deep

Every time I hear the sound of the rain
Beating on my roof again
I want to taste your love
And I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep.

Every time I lift my eyes to the sky
Something in my heart asks why.
I want to know the truth
And I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep.

Like the footprints
Disappearing from the sand,
I try to catch the thought.
It slips right through my hand
And, as the darkness
Throws it's cloak upon the ground,
I start to run to you.
I've got to take you down,
I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep.

Every time I feel I'm losing my way
The power of your love remains.
I want to touch your love
An' I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep. deep.
I want to go deep, deep.
I want to go deep.
