01 By Your Side

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that.
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong...
Oh Oh oh-oh-oh-oh
And if only you could see into me...
Oh when you're cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, you're so much better than you know
When you're lost, and you're alone and can't get back again
I will find you darling, and I'll bring you home
And if u want to cry I am here to dry your eyes,
and in no time you'll be fine.....
You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that.
Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
Oh, oh
If only you could see into me....
Oh when you're cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me, baby.
Ohh when you're alone I'll be there by your side baby, by your side baby.
Oh when your cold I'll be there to hold you tight to me, to me baby.
Ohh when you're alone I'll be there by your side baby.

02 Flow

Ooh baby mm
When you hold me
Oh Oh
When you hold me the sound

Is it possible I could feel this
good I could really love you
the way I do
Is it possible I would feel this
good I could really love you
the way I do

See me (within the light)
Flowing (take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (im in the light)
You cover (pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just
creeps over me
Over me

See me (within the light)
Flowing (take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (im in the light)
You cover (pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

Ooh baby mm
When you hold me
Oh oh
When you hold me

And I wont let you go
I wont let you go
And I wont let you go
I wont let you go

Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold its a fire
Im on the run
And its a comfort to me

Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This loves not a liar
To cold its a fire
Im on the run
And its a comfort to me

And I wont let you go
I wont let you go
And I wont let you go
I wont let you go

03 King Of Sorrow

Im crying everyones tears
And there inside our private
war I died the night before
And all of these remnants
of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do
I want to cook you a soup that
warms your soul
But nothing would change
nothing would change at all
Its just a day that brings
it all about
Just another day
And nothings any good

The DJ's playing the
same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will
ever let me go
I feel like
I am the king
of sorrow
The king of sorrow

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I dissapoint my future
if I stay
Its just a day that brings
it all about
Just another day
And nothings any good

The DJ's playing the
same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief
ever be gone
Will it ever go
Im the king
of sorrow
The king of sorrow

Im crying everyones tears
I have already paid for all
my future sins
Theres nothing anyone
can say to take this away
Its just another day
And nothings any good

Im the king
of sorrow
King of sorrow

04 Somebody Already Broke My Heart

You came along when I
needed a saviour
Someone to pull me
through somehow
I've been torn apart so
many times
I've been hurt so many
times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already
broke my heart
Somebody already
broke my heart

Here I am
So dont leave me stranded
on the end of a line
Hanging on the edge of a lie
I've been torn apart so
many times
I've been hurt so many
times before
So becareful and be kind

Somebody already
broke my heart
If someone has to lose
I don't want to play
Somebody already
broke my heart
No no I can't go there again

You came along when I
needed a saviour
Someone to pull me
through somehow
I've been torn apart so
many times
I've been hurt so many
times before
so I'm counting on you now

Somebody already
broke my heart
If someone has to lose
I don't want to play
Somebody already
broke my heart
No no I can't go there again

05 All About Our Love

Its all about our love
So shall it be forever
never ending

After all this time
After all is said and done

We have seen some
suffering baby
It has not always been perfect

After all this time
After all is said and done

Darling we know it
Whatever may come
We can get through it
As if its just begun
Oh its just begun

Its all about our love
So shall it be forever
never ending
Darling we know it

After all this time
After all said and done

06 Slave Song

I see them gathered see
them on the shore
I turned to look once more
and he who knows me not takes me to the belly
of darkness

the tears run swift and hard and when they fall
even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
there was a time
when I thought
I would have to give up
but i'm thankful that i'm
strong as I am and i'll try to do
the best I can

tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain
I pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain

I pray to the almighty
let me not to him do
as he has unto me
teach my beloved children
who have been enslaved
to reach for the light continually

so many times I prayed
so many times i've prayed
for you
prayed for you
the tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
had I not the strength and wisdom of a warrior
I would have to give up
but i'm thankful that i'm
strong as I am
and i'll try to do the best I can

tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain
I pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain

I pray to the almighty
let us not do as he has unto us
teach my beloved children
i've been a slave
but reach for the
light continually

wisdom is the flame
wisdom is the brave warrior who will carry us into the sun
I pray that it's swift though tears will come that fall like rain

so many times so many times

07 The Sweetest Gift

Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and i were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected
She promised you her light that you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning
And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And i can see the miracle that keeps us from falling
She promised
All the sweetest gifts
That only the heavens
Could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning
And as you so gracefully give her light as long as you live
I will always remember
This moment

08 Every Word

i saw a picture
how could you be so careless
how could you have done that
to us
and i write this letter
i send it all back to you
and every word you said

in there every word
oh oh
how could you have done that to us

you treated me like a stranger
and all the time i was loving you
all your slick moves they were once innocent moves
i wanted to look up to you
i really trusted you
and every word you said

in there every word
oh oh
how could you have done that to us

i was loving you like a child
all the time you were smiling the same smile
i was loving you like a child
i really trusted you

every word you said
every word you said
love is what the word was

every word you said
every word you said
all the time you were smiling
love is what the word was

every word you said
every word that you said
i was loving you like a child yeah
and all the time you were smiling the same smile
i was loving you like a child
i really trusted you

every word you said
every word that you said
i send it back to you yeah

every word you said
every word that you said
i send it all back to you yeah

every word you said
every word you said
i send it all back to you
back to you

09 Immigrant

coming from where he did
he was turned away from
every door like joseph
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
he didn't know what it was
to be black
'til they gave him his change but didn't want to touch
his hand
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much

isn't it just enough
how hard it is to live
isn't it hard enough
just to make it through a day

the secret of their fear
and their suspicion
standing there looking
like an angel
in his brown shoes
his short suit
his white shirt
and his cuffs a little frayed
coming from where he did
he was such a dignified child
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much

isn't it just enough
how hard it is to live
isn't it hard enough
just to make it through a day

coming from where he did
he was turned away from
every door like joseph
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
he didn't know what it
was to be black
'til they gave him his change but didn't want to touch
his hand
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much

10 Lovers Rock

i am in the wilderness
you are in the music in the man's car next to me
somewhere in my sadness
i know i won't fall apart
completely

when i need to be rescued
and i need a place to swim
i have a rock to cling to
in the storm
when no-one can hear
me calling
i have you i can sing to

and in all this
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm
like a lovers rock

i am in the wilderness
you are in the music in the man's car next to me
somewhere in my sadness
i know i won't fall apart
completely
and in all this
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm
like a lovers rock

when i need to be rescued
you're there
when i need a place to swim to
in the storm
i think of you
and in all my life
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm
like a lovers rock

11 It's Only Love That Gets You Through

girl you are rich
even with nothing
you know tenderness
comes from pain
it's amazing how you love
and love is kind
and love can give
and get no gain

it's down a rugged road
you've come
though you had every reason you didn't come undone
somehow you made it to
the other side
you didn't suffer in vain

you forgive those who have trespassed against you
and you know tenderness comes from pain
it's amazing how you love
and love is kind
and love can give
and love needs
no gain

it's down a rugged road
you've come
though you had every reason you didn't come undone
somehow you made it to
the other side
you didn't suffer in vain

you didn't suffer in vain
you know it's only love
that gets you through
only love love
only love that gets
you through
