Penumbra Moon

Standing in the moonlight
I saw you standing in the moonlight
With your hair a shining blue 
I shivered in the midnight air.

He was in the shadows
He was hiding in the shadows
Why he looked so dark and cold
And lonely, only heaven knows.

Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you 
Feeling so shy 
Hiding behind somebody too.
Oh I'm just like you

If I could have one wish
Oh I'd take you on a starship
But I wouldn't know what to do with
All the love I have for you.

Nothing much between us
No there's nothing much between us
Even Mercury and Venus
Couldn't take me far from you

Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you 
Feeling so shy 
Hiding behind somebody too. 
Oh I'm just like you

Running Away

Knock knock the door don't lock
Whenever your around
Ring ring the bell don't stop 
Inviting everybody round

I try to shut my eyes 
But every time I do 
I see a photograph 
Of everyone in the room

Well they can stay right there 
And they can use my bed

Because I feel like running away 
You know I feel like running away 
Because I feel like running 
I feel like running away

Strike a light I'll be polite 
And say the proper thing 
Pull up a chair forget I'm here 
And take the weight off your feet

Come through I bet you do 
Without touching the sides 
Cold cuts and cashew nuts 
Will take good care of you tonight

If that's the life you want 
Then it's the life you've got

Because I feel like running away 
You know I feel like running away 
Because I feel like running 
I feel like running away

Because I can't get enough of your love 
You know I can't get enough of your love 
You know I've tried everything I know 
But I can't get enough of your love 
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough 
But I can't get enough of your love

Because I can't get enough of your love 
You know I can't get enough of your love 
You know I've tried everything I know 
But I can't get enough of your love 
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough 
Can't get enough of your love

Love Finds You

Love can be wonderful 
Love can be kind 
Love can guide you but 
Love can make you blind 
When your down and out with nothing left to loose 
Love finds you

Love is the sweetest thing 
Love can go sour 
Love can give you wings 
Love can make you drown 
When a friendship breaks 
Then finds itself renewed 
Love finds you

Why is it so contagious 
Why is it vivacious 
Something that you can't buy 
Only a fool would try

There ain't a remedy 
We're all at risk 
Memory fades but you 
Must remember this 
If you're searching all alone without a clue 
Love finds you

Old Jealousy

This feeling in my throat ain't lying
Old jealousy is back again
Forget the past well I've been trying
But every night brings a new pain.

Your so called friends with all their lipstick
And their freaky old men
Well they don't bother me
But I believed you when you said
YouÕd told me everything and 
That I find so hard to forgive

Ah ah

This feeling in my throat ain't lying
Old jealousy is back again
Forget the past well I've been trying
But every night brings a new pain.

I know these words are sounding bitter
But they're better out than 
Poisoning my love
Don't want to hurt you
And I really should forgive you
But it takes a long long time 
To give up.

Reverie

When I'm alone
Or in a crowded room
Lost in a reverie
Why do I always think of you

Throughout the day
Or in the midnight blue
When I can't get to sleep
Why do I always think of you

It's a mystery to me
Why I'm lost in a dream
When the sun fades away
And shadows fall

Is it twilight or rain
At the end of the day
Well there must be 
A reason for it all

That Other Guy

He's got a race horse 
And he's got a four poster 
Country retreat 
Like the white cliffs of Dover
But oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl

He shoots at weekends 
With lady La-de-da 
On oodles of champagne
And Russian caviar 
But oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl

Will he make her feel 
Safer in limousines 
Or will he hold her 
When she is afraid

I hear the birds sing 
So sweetly when I wake up 
I've got a good friend that 
Won't ever leave me 
But oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl
I said oh my! 
What's that other guy doing with my girl

Warrior

Paint me like a Zulu
Throw me to the lions
There ain't nothing left 
To frighten me besides 
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

Kick me in the deep end
Send me to the stars
You won't see no difference
Maybe It's because 
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I don't need a bow
Silver or gold, chariot of fire
The story, we know 
Getting retold, twisted and tired.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

You know I'm convicted
Put me to the test
Just show me the wicket
Time will do the rest
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I think it's a shame 
Hearing your name
Spoken in anger.
They're racking their brains
Trying to explain questions and answers.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a worrier for you.

White City Lights

My friends are all waiting with time on their hands,
It's Saturday night
The bridges are broken there's no turning back
To white city lights
Here on this stage it gets harder to relate
What did I do to change me this way
Oh! Yes I remember I can just see your face
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

A hero, A villain, is what you'll become
Or take the road in between
As free as a bird or a man on the run
Well it could have been me
When other lights shine and then leave me in the dark
You're always there
You have been from the start
But we're still separated and it's breaking my heart
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

Velvet Rut

What d'you want 
Come on now why don't you tell me

What d'you want 
I know you don't need my money

We've been through the 
Flooded rivers and the road 
And there ain't nothing that can 
Stop me from loving you it's true 
Come on let me know

oh oh oh oh oh oh

What d'you want 
If it's my love well you got it

Come on and tell me what d'you want 
There's nothing left in my pocket

I don't feel a breath of wind in the air 
We're in the doldrums 
You can break my heart I don't really care 
You see I'd rather it were me than someone else

oh oh oh oh oh oh

You can see that I'm stuck in a velvet rut 
You've got me sounding like a 
Record that jumps and jumps 
Come on tell me what d'ya want

oh oh oh oh oh oh

Brown And Beige

You were lovely in brown and beige 
And with the sunset 
You looked so perfect

Evening sparkle upon your face 
The day was almost 
In purple shadow

And the twilight fell like rain 
And I had to look again

Slender ladies in English lace
Their lips like rosebuds 
Their kiss for no one

But you were lovely in brown and beige
I should have told you 
But felt no need to

And the twilight fell like rain 
And I had to look again

Give Me Love

She come, she gone
No explanation
Left me tired and cold
Don't bear no grudge
You win you lose some
All that shines is not gold

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

Don't want no ties
No self denying 
Can alter my destiny
Like fading sun
I'm disillusioned
Only one thing I need

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

One more heartache 
Guaranteed
That's the way 
It has to be 
See

Alone Again

Alone again
And the blue sky has disappeared
All alone again
But it feels like you will always be here 
I picture your face
Smiling at me
Wondering why you came and then went away

Alone again
With the clouds overtaking me
Darkness in the rain
But I'm gonna try
And sail on through it

And maybe you will follow
And hold me through the night
Sunrise drifting to a place
Where the ocean meets the sky

Alone on a stormy sea
Then you came along and found me there
One moment of tranquillity
If I could only make it last forever
