    Talks about the cold on television,
Appetizing in the intermission.
Let’s go look. Glued to the screen,
There she is, so terribly clean.
I love her.

Mrs. Gillespie, you know how to sell me.
You made me blow my mind with things you tell me.
Let’s go look. Glued to the screen,
There she is, so terribly clean.
I love her.

Now she disappears back to the program.
I return to bed, feeling so low down.
Someone else is stealing my scene,
Fading away into a dream
About her.

Burning embers.
I still remember
all of those little things.
But I can’t feel it so much
‘cause I am so out of touch
with my heart
and it won’t sing.
 
Rusty rainbows.
That’s how the pain goes,
turning me inside out.
Well, I come home at night
and you are out of my sight.
Yes, I’m dying and there ain’t no doubt.
Well, I’m dying and there’s no way out.
 
Well, I try, try, try, try, try
Mr. Natural (come on baby).
When I walk in the rain,
you won’t know that I’m crying.
A smile on my face and I’m trying…
 
I’m trying to understand
that a love that is lost
can never be found again.
 
And you can see me dance,
I look like a happy man.
 
Just when I think I’m getting it over,
an old friend I should see.
He said he knew you well,
and, baby, I could tell,
you know he knew you more than me.
 
I went home laughing
and inside I’m crying.
We had a special thing.
 
You know I love you so much,
but girl I’m so out of touch
with my heart
and it won’t sing.
You know my heart just won’t sing.
 
Well, I try, try, try, try, try.
Mr. Natural (come on baby)
When I walk in the rain
you won’t know that I’m crying.
A smile on my face and I’m trying…
 
I’m trying to understand
that a love that is lost
can never be found again.
 
And you can see me dance,
I look like a happy man.
 
Still I try, try, try, try, try.
Mr. Natural (come on baby)  (come on baby)
Well, I try, try, try, try, try.
Mr. Natural (come on baby)  (come on baby)
Well, I try, try, try, try, try.

Take my hand
Lead me to a world I understand
Mother
Take me home
Help me find the strength to carry on

Everything in life we have is changing
But you are all I need to keep me still

I’m a lone lost child
So alone in the night

Angel of light
You have saved this soul
You have given me sight

Keep me warm
Always be my lighthouse in the storm

Set me free
Give me wings to fly eternally

You have woken me

 Most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The friends that I thought I had were never there.
You look for love,
but you don’t know where.
And I’m in a race
that could be any place.
And when I was born,
my life had slowly worn.
The woman that I loved had slowly walked away.
I tried to smile but that was yesterday.
And most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The friends that I thought I had were never there.
You look for love,
but you don’t know where.
And most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The woman that I loved had sadly walked away.
I tried to smile but that was yesterday.
And most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The friends that I thought I had were never there.
You look for love,

 In the morning when the moon is at its rest,
you will see me at the time I love the best,
watching rainbows, play on sunlight,
pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
building castles in the shifting sands
in a world that no one understands,
in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the morning of my life
the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
it’s only morning and you’re still to live your day.
 
In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we’ll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothe’s lines,
may I be yawning.
It is the morning of my life.
It is the morning of my life.
 
In the morning,…

Oh, girl, I’ve known you very well.
I’ve seen you growing everyday.
I never really looked before
but now you take my breath away.
 
Suddenly you’re in my life,
part of everything I do.
You got me working day and night
just trying to keep a hold on you.
 
Here in your arms I found my paradise,
my only chance for happiness.
And if I lose you now I think I would die.
 
Oh, say you’ll always be my baby,
we can make it shine,
we can take forever,
just a minute at a time.
 
More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.
More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.
 
Oooh
There are stories old and true
of people so in love like you and me.
And I can see myself,
let history repeat itself.
 
Reflecting how I feel for you,
thinking about those people ,
then I know that in a thousand years
I’d fall in love with you again.
 
This is the only way that we should fly,
this is the only way to go,
and if I lose you I know I would die.
 
Oh, say you’ll always be my baby,

Have I ever been here before
I remember hearing your name, sir
If my conversation lacks discretion
It’s the same old foolish game
 
Did I ever give you my key
Did you ever walk through my door, sir
You may not be one of my possessions
But I need you more and more
 
I finally acquired what other people live on
I always took what I could find
But on that lucky night
I found me loving you
And the best thing you can do
is to fall in love with
 
I can feel the glow when we kiss
I don’t have the strength to resist you
You must have lit a fire in my heart
‘Cos I need you more and more
 
I’m resting in your arms
And dancing in the moonlight
My emotions are on display
And if I don’t see your face
Or feel you in my fingers
I would have to try
To get by with someone like
 
You relax while I make you warm
And into your trap I will fall, sir
I gave my last position
On the chance to see you more
To love you more and more
And more…

It’s the midnight hour and I wish you were here.
Somebody following me,
I just can’t sleep alone.
 
I figure it’s the way I am,
or a thing that happened to me
somewhere in my childhood.
 
I’m all that I could ever be in your arms.
It’s like I can’t imagine life without you.
 
But all my women cry
and all my heroes die,
 
or we could try a little
moonlight madness.
We could do the strangest things.
Try a little moonlight madness.
Let someone in your dreams.
 
Or we could try a little
moonlight madness.
Living on the same old lies.
We should not try to find the meaning.
Let history decide.
 
Whether it’s right or wrong to give you,
what I may give you?
How do we learn to do the things?
We never do.
 
Let me try a little
moonlight madness
on you.
 
I cry with a smile and I laugh with a tear.
I struggle but the body won’t move.
And the quicksand pulls me down.
 
I wanna be the man that you think I am.
I follow in the steps of the one
who knows the darkness well.
 
And you can get me by your side
by talking to me with your eyes.
Not breaking promises.
 
I’m howling at the moon.
I’m howling,
howling at the moon.
 
Or we could try a little
moonlight madness.
We could do the strangest things.
Try a little something different.
The mystery remains.
 
Whether it’s right or wrong to love each other.
Yearning in the brain for something new.
Let me try a little
moonlight madness.
Try a little
moonlight madness.
Try a little
moonlight madness
on you.

Miracles happen,
you know miracles happen.

Miracles happen,
you know miracles happen.

If we just try
we can put it back together, you and I.
And all the bad is blown away.
I never said goodbye.

Is the writing on the wall
that makes you see.
And it’s the saviour of my soul.
And what I say that must be heard
with love in every word.

Close your eyes, don’t let go,
don’t get lost in the falling snow.
Always out of place alone,
with someone you’re not sure of.

Broken wings don’t arrive.
It’s a storm but you still survive.
It’s gonna take a miracle.

So I go around believing you.
I say good night, stay forever and
nobody knows how much
I pray for you at night.
And miracles happen,
you know miracles happen.

And yesterday
there was nothing in my life worth living for.
You were there and I was born,
the very strength to carry on
a miracle has come.

Hold on tight, call my name,
don’t get caught in the midnight rain.
Part of me believes in you,
you’re someone I’m not sure of.

Don’t look down, I’ll be there,
like the wind in the cold night air.
I can see a miracle.

And through it all we rise and fall,
tear it apart and stay forever.
And I know where heaven is
and somewhere in between
miracles happen,
you know miracles happen.

Red, blue, black and white.
True light shine on anyone.
Two hearts make it right.
And all that love can change.

Close my eyes, don’t let go.
I’ll be lost in the falling snow.
Always out of place alone,
with someone I’m not sure of.

Don’t look down, I’ll be there
like the wind in the cold night air.
I can see a miracle.

And through it all we rise and fall.
We tear it apart and stay forever.
And I know where heaven is
and somewhere in between
miracles happen.

Hold on tight, call my name,
don’t get caught in the midnight rain.
Part of me believes in you,
you’re someone I’m not sure of.

Don’t look down, I’ll be there,

I can see a miracle.

I’ll be lost in the falling snow…

    Rain comes down on a misty bay.
Light on the water and she’s coming my way.
To be fair she’s only wearing a smile.
Ease all my trouble just by driving me wild.

 

And like the moon don’t function without the night.
We come together and she’s hanging on tight.
She makes me tremble like I never before.
Bringing me up to keep me begging for more.

In every hour to be, let me satisfy your heart.
I can take the lonely days in return for the midsummer nights.

We know the journey to a better life, better life.
And we never to be letting go.
You got to learn to be lonely to find what you’re living for.

Making love on a midsummer night.
I love those midsummer nights.
Making love on a midsummer night.
I love those midsummer nights.

There may be one fool falling in love with you
You are the vision that I’m hanging on to.
Any world, any dream you can see
can be yours and mine if we want it to be.
Let me lie in your arms.
Let me understand your love.
I can take the lonely days in return for the midsummer nights.

We know the journey to a better life, better life.
And we never to be letting go.
You got to learn to be lonely to find what you’re living for.

Making love on a midsummer night.
I love those midsummer nights.
Making love on a midsummer night.
I love those midsummer nights.

Making your love to me only.
Running forever.
I’m following you .
And I’m not afraid
for every hour to be.
Let me satisfy your heart
I can take the lonely days in return for those midsummer nights.

We know the journey to a better life, better life.
And we never to be letting go.
You got to learn to be lonely to find what you’re living for.

like a woman in the rain,

I’ve seen the lights of every city.
Tried to work out where I am.
I close my mind for the day

I’ve played the game,
still it’s not worth it,

There’s never ever anybody to rely on.
There isn’t time to count the shoulders I have cried on.
 
That’s just circumstances,
I must take my chances.
 
But, baby, you don’t know what I’m saying.
But I guess that’s not true
and you know that’s true,
but there’s a method to my madness.
 
I’ve played the game,
