Drawn to the city like a moth to a flame I was eager for success I was so hungry for fame And the dizzy glare of neon it bedazzled, mesmerized Like a carpet of jewels laid before my very eyes Chorus I’m going home, going home Back to the place where your waiting for me Going home, going home ‘cos love ain’t always where you want it to be Whispered conversations held in dark and smoky rooms The lure of false promises, the counsel of fools And every new day brought another compromise And the carpet of jewels began to fade before my eyes Chorus Verse Instrumental Chorus Missed opportunities and countless sleepless nights Oh the spell began to fade from all those magic lights Never made the connections as I moved from role to role The taste is bitter sweet but leaves a hunger in the soul Chorus, Backing chorus, Repeat 1st Verse

I’m okay yes I’m okay, But I’m lonely, So lonely without you When you left this place, You left such a space, But you never left my heart You just broke it in two Instrumental: I’m okay yes I’m alright, Just feel a little lonely I’m missing you tonight Just feel a little lonely I’m missing you tonight

Thinking back, I can’t remember the way Why or even when, But It really doesn’t matter now The angry words, have calmed over the years The hurt the tears, But It really doesn’t matter now I watch the sun come up and the sun go down I wonder if you see it too, I could be a romantic fool But then I always was for you romantic fool I keep a light on for you Just in case you were wondering I never searched for someone to take your place, But It really doesn’t matter now They would have been a poor imitation in any case, and It really doesn’t matter now I watch the sun come up and the sun go down I wonder if you see it too, I could be a romantic fool But then I always was for you romantic fool And still after all these years, I keep a light on for you I think there’s nothing I’d like more than to see you to walk through my door see you walk through my door I’ll keep a light on for you X 3 I watch the sun come up and the sun go down I wonder if you see it too, I could be a romantic fool But then I always was for you romantic fool I’ll keep a light on for you repeat X 3 I’ll always keep a light on for you

The beauty of the city, like nowhere else on earth In a building that stood so high She could feel the hand of god Her life was unremarkable, Until that fateful day Just trying to make a livin But barely gettin by Five years ago it happened, almost to the day When the hand of fate lifted Marcy down To guide her on her way In a moment her life was flashing by, Could have ended like the rest But it was written she would stay To see another day Chorus There are good days, there are bad, There are some we can’t forget There are days that stay etched in the mind But the tale of Marcy Borders was to have a happy end Like a phoenix from the ashes she would rise Through the chaos and confusion, she made her way towards the light Knowing for indecision She could pay the highest price Her blue skies where lost beneath, dark heavy, clouds of grey how things can change In the blink of an eye Chorus For a time she was lost, lost in her fears But she took her darkest moments Washed them with her tears And she hung on for 2 long years, Wonderin if she would heal now she can smile each day she’s alive Chorus X 2

Like a stone that skims the water Like a wave that breaks on the sand Like a word that stays unspoken Like the touch of a lovers hand Chorus All these moments that surround us Are the moments that move to fast So let go of tomorrow Lets just make the moment last Like a heart filled with emotion Like a tear that waits to fall Like the silence that’s close to midnight Like the light that’s before the dawn Chorus Verse Instrumental Chorus Like the colours of a rainbow Like a grey sky that turns to blue Like the first breath of a new life Like a star that fades from view Like a stone that skims the water Like a wave that breaks on the sand Like a word that stays unspoken Like the touch………… of.. a.. lovers hand……

The path of love isn’t always smooth It can twist and turn and bend Elusive as a ray of hope or a whisper on the wind Some years ago just a hopeless case As I made home through the park Love’s arrow flew pierced right through My disenchanted heart Unaware and quite naïve I took it in my stride, Turned on my heels and carried on But with you I did collide And I loved you then as I love you still Where you end is where I start Chorus Love’s arrow flew pierced right through My disenchanted heart And our eyes met as the pouring rain Surrendered to the sun With your old blue jeans and tired shirt We were already said and done And I loved you then as I love you still Where you end is where I start Chorus And you asked me a question But the words I did not hear As the sound of love’s sweet symphony Was ringing in my ears And I loved you then as I love you still Where you end is where I start

I hear you baby I can feel your pain Sometimes I wonder If we will ever be the same again And after all the trouble Everything that we've been through It takes a woman like me To love a man like you love a man like you, love a man like you, love a man like you I hear the stories ‘bout the things you do But I don't care what they say 'Cos I'm the one that's going home with you And after all the trouble Everything that we've been through It takes a woman like me To love a man like you Love a man like you, love a man like you, It takes a woman like me To love a man like you, woman like me, man like you You know I'm always waiting Always here to take your call To reach out and hold you The only one that picks you up when you fall And after all the trouble Everything that we've been through It takes a woman like me To love a man like you Love a man like you, love a man like you, it takes a woman like me To love a man like you, woman like me, man like you, Woman like me, man like you It takes a woman like………………………me

Don't care if it's wrong or right, I've been driving this car for half of the night No stopping I'm in full flight And I've blazed a trail of jumped red lights Chorus Don't try, Don't try to stop me now Don't try, Don't try to stop me now I'm almost there, almost there yeah yeah I'm almost there, almost there yeah yeah I've been so long on the road I'm heading home with nothing to show Nanci Griffiths on the radio And I've still got a hundred miles to go Chorus Full of excitement, don't need no pills Ignore the signs that say "Tiredness Kills" Cricklewood Broadway, Shoot-up Hill The thought of the place gives me such a thrill

When the sun never rises in your sky and the tides keep on turning, but the tears still linger in your eyes When it seems there’s nothing to ease away your pain I will hold you, let me hold you, forever and a day Remember when you laid with me through my long dark nights And your words softly spoken, told me everything’s alright But now it seems that you have lost your way Let me hold you, I will hold you, forever and a day Summer turns to autumn Winter turns to spring Still the world keeps on spinning In spite of everything but when it seems there’s nothing to ease away your pain Let me hold you, I will hold you, forever and a day but when it seems there’s nothing that will ease away your pain Let me hold you, I will hold you, forever and a day
