BROKEN SUNDAY
BROKEN SUNDAY
A southern town, a lonely motel room,
the crazy Sun is breaking in.
Been staying alive somehow on the dark side of the Moon,
my body aches, my hands are shaking.
I open the window,
where is my heart, my soul?
CHORUS: Let the churchbells ring,
let the choirs sing and wash this town of all its sins,
let the sermons bring anything
that can take away the sting.
Let Christ come walking again
on these streets, on the lakes taking our pain away,
let the churchbells ring,
let sisters sing on this broken Sunday,
let the ”hallelujas” roll healing to us.
Bet you have found someone new to love you,
bet you don’t even think about me.
I took to drink and I almost drowned walking in some poor devil’s shoes,
the glass is full but I can’t raise it.
I open the window
to my heart and soul.
CHORUS
Bridge: I’m about to give in now,
I’m ready to turn around,
I want to float on the river of light
to that mighty ocean now.

FOOTPRINTS ON THE BEACH
Footprints On The Beach
Today I was still yours,
tonight you are still mine,
we're still side by side and starry-eyed
under the starlit sky.
But what tomorrow will bring,
no one can foresee,
there are no guarantees or promises,
that's how life is.
CHORUS: The trees will lose their leaves,
summer grass its green
and the blue sky will lose its sheen.
The rains will come in
and they will wash away
our footprints on the beach.
So, come closer to me
and let's make believe
that this is never-ending.
Let's just receive full-heartedly
all that life is lending.
You're the poem and I'm the page,
I'm the ocean and you're the waves,
there's not one without the other,
that's where we are right now.
The world would surely be
so meaningless and bleak
if you weren't right there beside me
with your hang ups and your dreams.
CHORUS
Bridge: Maybe all the love that we ever feel
will be stored somewhere for forever.

LET'S SET THE NIGHT ALIGHT
Let's Set The Night Alight
It's been a hard week, working, getting dirty,
going through the motions for the almighty money.
I ain't complaining but this slaving's getting to me,
sometimes you need rejuvenating.
CHORUS: Let's go dancing tonight,
I want to feel alive.
Let's go out tonight
and set the night, set the night, set the night alight.
It's been a dark week, didn't even see the sun,
graveyard shifts and overtimes, count me out - now I am done.
Gotta take it easy or I'll end up in a funny farm,
soon I'll hop a freight or hijack a plane to the sun.
CHORUS: Let's go dancing tonight,
I need to feel alright.
Let's go out tonight
and set the night, set the night, set the night alight.
Bridge: Let's rise up to the stars
and explode like supernovas.
CHORUS

HAPPINESS IS A HEALING THING
Happines Is a Healing Thing
The crescent moon is scything clouds,
the westwind’s on the rise,
ooh, but it’s mild tonight.
A pleasant tune is floating out
from a car in traffic lights,
I’m floating out of time.
Pre-Chorus:
I’m not afraid tonight,
I keep on rising high, my heart is on a hot-air balloon ride.
CHORUS: When I am walkin to you, baby,
my troubled heart’s at ease,
it’s found its peace,
happiness is a simple thing
but it changes everything.
When I am walking through these streets,
I’m seeing so much beauty
that used to hide from me,
happiness is a healing thing,
it’s even healing this old city.
Around the bend I see the river
embellished by the lights,
how they make it shine.
It just keeps running on forever,
indifferent to our lives,
now it seems so warm and alive.
Pre-Chorus
CHORUS
Bridge: Life is a dance,
you’re dancing with me, baby,
life is enhanced
by love if we welcome it,
life is a dance,
keep on grooving with me, baby,
’cause it’s a beautiful thing.

YOU MUST CALL IT LOVE
You Must Call It Love
You can call this what you like,
you can say: "I guess we're alright",
but if you take a moment and listen to your heart,
you will see you must call it love.
You can say it is just life,
boy meets girl and they leave the old behind,
but if you take a walk through the hallways of your heart,
you will see you must call it love.
'Cause no other word
comes even close to what we have,
no other word can describe
all those hurts and delights.
No other word can define it
when two lonely hearts
have grown into one over time.
You can walk with me down the aisle
or you can live on in denial,
but if you find the courage to see behind your fears,
you will find you must call this love,
but if you find the courage to see behind your fears,
you will find you must call it love,
you will find you must call it love.

GOTTA MOVE ON
GOTTA MOVE ON
(lyrics: Michael Standing)
Took me ages to come to grips that you'd gone
Broke my heart, I wished you'd never been born
Took my friend, ran for cover, that was smart
I just lay there guttered, torn and ripped apart
Just seeing you with him everywhere I went
It was awkward, baby, if not downright bent
I was embarrased but kept it to myself
Nobody cared so it remained on the shelf
CHORUS: Gotta move on, gotta feel no shame
Gotta move on, it's your loss, my gain
Gotta move on, gotta learn to forgive
Gotta move on, baby, it's my turn to live
Travelling back from God knows where
You're in the car in front, you turn and stare
If you leave me now is rattling out the radio
This song just rips my heart out...Chicago
CHORUS: Gotta move on, gotta feel no shame
Gotta move on, it's your loss, my gain
Gotta move on, gotta learn to forgive
Gotta move on, baby, it's my turn to live
Bridge: You crushed my soul, turned it into dust
Will I ever fall again, will I ever learn to trust
CHORUS: Gotta move on, gotta feel no shame
Gotta move on, it's your loss, my gain
Gotta move on, gotta learn to forgive
Gotta move on, baby, it's my turn to live
