Abandoned City

Standing at the gates of your abandoned city
not quite in ruins, and not so pretty oh
I want to walk inside
looking down these streets of old
your cobbled paths I want to know, tell me dear
who you are and where you've been, mmm
please let me in
the sun shines brightly on green weeds
that line your boulevards
the parks are filled with trees
all etched with lover's hearts
won't you please let me in,
let me in to your city
from a distance it looks so majestic
gleaming towers can withstand anything
but now a battle rages inside there
my love, please take me there
the sun shines brightly on green weeds
that line your boulevards
the parks are filled with trees
all etched with lover's hearts
won't you please let me in, let me in
to your city
flesh and blood turn to mud
like a golem on a rampage in the dark
times have changed
time to see that the battle field is empty
someone stands there just inside the shadows
It's you at these hallowed gates, mmm
where your demons come to play
standing here your face shows nothing
your heart pounds to the point of exploding,
speak to me now of who you are
and where you've been
My Love, please let me in
the sun shines brightly on green weeds
that line your boulevards
the parks are filled with trees
all etched with lover's hearts
won't you please let me in
open up the door
you're not abandoned anymore

Ghosts

Drive along this country road
There's nothing new to find
I’ve been away so long
Still you're on my mind
Where are you now
The ghosts of my hometown
Where are you now
Through the city
To the suburbs
See the countryside
To the foothills
Cross the mountains
See the valley wide
Where are you now
The ghosts of my hometown
Where are you now
(memories are everywhere)
The ghosts of my hometown
(close your eyes I’ll take you there)
Where are you now
“Today’s the day, can you believe it
I’m leaving this place
Will you wait for me
I love you... good bye”
Storms will form on the horizon
Clouds separate the light from the day
Life's not always as we planned it to be
Remember when we played in the rain
Did you find work
Did you marry
Leave this place behind
Join the clergy or
Military
Do I cross your mind
Still you’re on my mind
Where are you now
(memories are everywhere)
The ghosts of my hometown
(close your eyes I’ll take you there)
Where are you now
(memories are everywhere)
The ghosts of my hometown
(close your eyes I’ll take you there)
Where are you now

Gravity
03:37
|

it may seem an old familiar theme
I've go nothing to say
if a picture speaks a thousand words
go ahead and take it
cuz I've got more things I wanna do
than any schoolgirl could ever dare to dream
I'm gonna jump down from this pedestal
and let gravity take over
gravity brings me home
gravity keeps my head on my shoulders
gravity my gravity hold me in your arms
at the end of a long long day
all I think of is you
in the presence of your charms & grace
time stands still
and you know I miss you darlin'
everytime I'm on the road
wanna fall into your loving arms
and let gravity take over
gravity brings me home
gravity keeps my head on my shoulders
gravity my gravity hold me in your arms
down
down can be a way out
I’m on my way out, out of here
fall for you every single time
that I close my eyes, and Ooo oo oo
gravity brings me home
gravity keeps my head on my shoulders
gravity my gravity hold me in your arms
you're a force of nature darlin'
you're my gravity my love

From Space
03:14
|

There’s so much more to living
than the private world you live in
but you’re so content inside your tiny space
everything’s been given
but you’re not good at receiving
maybe that’s why you deny the human race
still, the whole world looks at peace from space
the whole world has gone crazy
our hearts and minds are lazy
we’re emotional like teenagers instead
and all the words get twisted
the good the bad the mystic
it’s as if reality has been replaced
still, the whole world looks at peace from space
out here the stars twinkle in the night
the moon shines bright
the sun is golden
out here the planetary span is wide
the Earth is blue, and so are you
(remember what I said)
the whole world has gone crazy
our hearts and minds are lazy
we’re emotional like teenagers instead
and all the words get twisted
the good the bad the mystic
it’s as if reality has been replaced
still, the whole world looks at peace from space
trace the trail of mankind’s tears
like the urban lights of the hemisphere
the politics and fueds
lies that grace the daily news
last night I waved good bye
high above your aqua sky
I blew you a kiss
so many things i’m going to miss
the whole world has gone crazy
our hearts and minds are lazy
we’re emotional like teenagers instead
and all the words get twisted
the good the bad the mystic
it’s as if reality has been replaced
still, the whole world looks at peace from space
from space
from space

How High
02:50
|

watch the breeze blow the ocean waves
feel the rhythm of the tide
hear your heartbeat and your gentle sigh
tender moment so complete
how high is the sky
when the stars all look so close
how high am I
enveloped in the arms of the one I love the most
the one I love the most
stumbling through every single day
I can't believe you do the same
feel we're matched in every perfect way
bad with good I can't complain
how high is the sky
when the stars all look so close
as I look into your eyes
how high am I
wrapped up in your arms
on a cool october night
when the stars are in your eyes
if ever a siren song clouds your senses
I won't leave you drifting alone
I'll be the tide that brings you back to dry land
how high is the sky
when the stars all look so close
as I look into your eyes
how high am I
wrapped up in your arms
on a cool October night
when the stars are in your eyes
how high is the sky
when the stars all seem so close
as I look into your eyes
How high am I
wrapped up in your arms
on a cool October night
when the stars are in your eyes
when the stars are in your eyes
