I’m lonely - Come closer now
I need you here
There’s no way I can control
The feeling that surrounds me
Seems when you touch me that way
That’s the key to my heart
My temperature is on the rise
Yeah - You know your love is taking me

Higher - Right up into the sky
Higher - Where only eagles fly
Higher - I got my head up in the clouds
Don’t let me come back down

Those dagger fingernails through my hair
Driving me insane
There’s no one who can compare
To the one who takes me to a higher place
With your soft caress and your tenderness
Casting shadows from candlelight
Desires unquenchable
The anticipation’s killing me

My crisis grows by the hour
When you’re not around me baby
Your warm embrace and sultry ways
Sure does make my spirit climb

Higher - Right up to the sky
Higher - Where only eagles fly
Higher - My head is spinning ‘round
Don’t let me come back down

Now when I’m feeling down
Feeling low
There’s no need to worry now
Cause I know you’ll soon be taking me

Higher - Right up to the sky
Higher - With a wink of your eyes
Higher - I got my head up in the clouds
Don’t let me come back down
Don’t let me come back down
‘Come back down

Wicked lady - Desperate soul
Feeding on the lies that only you know
Create a smoke screen
Through which only you can see
Always one for mystery

Your love is like the sea
There’s more than meets the eye
Under the waves
Feeling that I’m one step from your heart
With one foot down in the grave

Mass confusion
It seems you can’t make up your mind
Can you see or are you blind?
You keep me hanging
From a rope that’s in your hands
Never knowing where I stand

Your love is killing me
Take my life away - Dust to dust
Give you all I had to give - All in vain
Feeling that I’m one step from your heart
With one foot down in the grave

You take my life away - Dust to dust
Give you all I had to give - All in vain
Oh - You robbed me of my dignity
Oh - Now there’s nothing left to save
Oh - And I know I can’t run away
Oh - I cannot run away
With one foot in the grave

Another dawn is on the horizon
Nocturnal thoughts are all of you
I open up my eyes to a world of light
I feel your presence but still I’m alone
I’ve seen you a thousand times
If only in my mind
If only there were a way
I could hold a dream - Yeah

Familiar stranger - Lady of mystery
Are you for real or is it all just a dream?

I feel you in the wind
You’re in every breath I take
You are the one whom I share one soul
I’ve seen you a thousand times
If only in my mind
Were we lovers in another life?

Familiar stranger - Lady of mystery
Is it true? Are you really all I need?

Another day is ending - Another night alone
I close my eyes to see you again

Familiar stranger - Lady of mystery
Are you for real or is it all just a dream?
Familiar stranger - Lady of mystery
Is it true? Are you really all I need?

Tell me is there something on your mind
“Cause it seems there’s something in your eyes
Telling me you’re miles away
I’m at a loss for words to say
Tell me is there something on your mind
The blowing winds of change
Will carry you away - They carry you away

And now before my eyes
I see it’s all a lie - Just an image in my mind
It’s gone - Right before my eyes

Guess I seen it coming all along
I had a feeling that our love was not that strong
Still I just can’t help but wonder why
Or what might have been
The things that could have been

And now before my eyes
I see it’s all a lie - Just an image in my mind
It’s gone - Right before my eyes

And for the first time in so long
I’m left to face the night alone
I just can’t face the night alone

Although the love we had has died
I just can’t bring myself to say good-bye

Turn out the lights
Come lay beside me in the dark
Put your hand into mine
Tell me your dreams
Tell me all your hopes and fears
Let’s see what mountains we can climb

This feels so right
It’s just like this was meant to be
Holding you close in my arms
I’ll never let you go
The love you give
Is everything I’ll ever need
And I just wanted you to know

Through the pouring rain
I’ll be there to be your shelter
I’ll be there through the night
And baby I’ll be the one
Who will dry your tears of sorrow
From this day to the end of time

Turn out the lights
Come lay beside me in the dark
Put your hand into mine
And let your feelings show
The love you give
Will be the air that I breath
And I just wanted you to know

Through the pouring rain
I’ll be there to be your shelter
I’ll be there through the night
And baby I’ll be the one
Who will dry your tears of sorrow
And I’ll never forget to say “I love you”
Oh - I love you

A silent storm rages inside of me
One that cries out for vengeance
Borne of the ashes from the past
Troubled times of failed and broken dreams
Left out in the cold
Vowing that the next time is the last

An ominous voice speaks to me
Time to break the silence

Questions still remain an obstacle
A desperate search for answers
Breaking down the wall of lies from within

As a feeling of hatred slips away
An ominous voice speaks to me
Time to break the silence

A silent storm rages inside of me
One that cries out for vengeance
Borne of the ashes from the past

The clouds of doubt begin to fade
As a feeling of hatred slips away
The ominous voice still speaks to me
Time to break the silence
Time to break the silence

Take me down tonight

On a sea of emotions taken out by the tide
With no understanding
Of what has brought me to the other side
I can’t rely upon a sacrifice that isn’t mine
Foolish dreams within my secret life
Through the haze created by my hand
I try to struggle through it all
But the feeling goes on and on

Take me down tonight
And take away the pain
Let me kiss the fire
Let me touch the flame
Take what isn’t right and make it divine

Inside an idle mind lies the devil’s playground
Behind these eyes
There are many troubles to be found
For too long now the dreams
Lay waiting for me
To seize and make - Make them true

But the paths I have chosen have led me astray
Wondering if I ever can go back
To when I was young
The mountains still stand majestic
Against the sky
Time is slipping through my hands

Take me down tonight
And take away the pain
Although I seem to try
Nothing seems to change
Guide me to the light

So now I turn to you with a heavy heart
Wash away my sins
And let me make another start
I try to struggle through it all
But the feeling goes on and on

Take me down tonight
And take away the pain
Let me kiss the fire
Let me touch the flame
Although I seem to try
Nothing seems to change
Take what isn’t right and make it divine
Make it divine


Blessing in Disguise
(Sitarski, Swenson) P-1996 ASCAP
359 KB Wave File (Exerpt 0:32)

It was you and I - The feeling that we shared
Were so right - The love we had was true
Then you said good-bye - It took away my life
I was left to doing things all alone
I used to do with you
No one to hold onto - No one to have me hold
‘Thought things were fine the way they were
But I should have known

A blessing in disguise
Sometimes the things in life
We want the least are what we really need

In my despair I had to take a good look
At myself afraid what I’d perceive
I found that life - I found that love
Is never guaranteed
Through all this confusion I finally realized
The answers to what we’re looking for
Are often found inside

A blessing in disguise
Sometimes the things in life
We want the least are what we really need

Now I can’t help but smile
When you send a smile my way
It tell me not to worry
Everything - Everything’s OK

Looking back in time
The fact that you’re here now because you left
Is part of the irony

A blessing in disguise
Sometimes the things in life
We want the least are what we really need
A blessing in disguise


I'm the One
(Sitarski, Swenson) P-1996 ASCAP

Faded pictures from the past
Looking back I’m seeing lost horizons
Broken promises unknown
But I’m still holding on to what I believe
So many people come and go
Only one difference between fools and heroes
Will there ever come an end?
I’ll embrace the truth with open arms

I don’t know if I will ever achieve
At finding my place in the sun
But no one will ever question my faith
When all is said and done

Walking on a razors edge
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Seeing through the thin disguises
Of people that I once called friends
I long to see liberty
It’s all a memory to me - To me

Faded pictures from the past
Looking back I’m seeing lost horizons
Broken promises unknown
But I’m still holding on to what I believe

I don’t know if I will ever succeed
At finding my place in the sun
But no one can fight my battles for me
‘Cause I’m the only one - I’m the only one
I’m the one - I’m the one


Let it Go
(Sitarski, Swenson) P-1996 ASCAP
355 KB Wave File (Exerpt 0:32)

So much in this crazy world
Can bring you down
Take a look and you’ll see it everywhere
Always something every time you turn around
But you can’t let the pain lead you to despair, no
You’ve got to free yourself
You’ve got to free your mind
Take a step back and leave it all behind

You gotta let it - Gotta let it go - Let it go
You gotta let it - Gotta let it go

The daily pressures can suffocate
It can tear apart your heart and soul
There’s nothing wrong with trying
To reach for the stars
Just don’t let it take control

You gotta let it - Gotta let it go - Let it go
You gotta let it - Gotta let it go - Let it go
You’ve got to make a change
Gotta come in out of the rain
You gotta let it - Gotta let it go

Put your mind in overdrive
It’s the only way to survive
Just close your eyes and fly away

You gotta let it - Gotta let it go - Let it go
You gotta let it - Gotta let it go - Let it go
You’ve got to make a change
Gotta come in out of the rain
You gotta let it - Gotta let it go
Let it go - Let it go
You’ve got to make a change
Gotta come in out of the rain
You gotta let it - Gotta let it go - Let it go
