Ain't Got Time

Well you ain’t got time, to sit and talk it through
No you ain’t got time, there’s nothing I can do
You ain’t got time, honey you ain’t got time
No you ain’t got time, I’d better go and join the line
I want to run like I’ve never run before
Get my coat, grab my hat, and head straight out the door
I know that I can make it, I hear that whistle blow
But when I get to your house, you send me back on home
Babe I’m not a rich man but when I get my pay
I’m gonna tell you that I love you and gather all I’ve saved
I will write it on my forehead, I will write in on my hand
And If I had a beach then I would write it in the sand

Angels In The Heavens
03:36

You're the loveliest thing I have ever seen
Sweeter than roses in a beautiful dream
All I want to do is kiss and hold you tight
And the Angels in the Heavens they watch over us tonight
And tomorrow when we wake up
And the morning sun it shines
The road ahead lays open for our hearts to find
And every time you comfort me I know that this is right
The Angels in the Heavens they watch over us tonight
Once my heart was heavy now it is just not the case
The loving that you give to me keeps that smile upon my face
All I want to do is kiss and hold you close
The heavens they watch over us and it’s you I love the most
The heavens they watch over us and it’s you I love the most

Fly little bluebird fly
Hold your head high
Ain’t got nothing to lose but the soles of your shoes
Goodbye
It’s time little Angel It’s time
Wipe the tear from your eyes
Ain’t got time for no more tales get that wind up your sails
Goodbye
Farewell my darling farewell
Your ship is set to sail
No words to be said, kiss me and I’m dead
Farewell
Goodbye my love goodbye
Leave your anchor behind
Don’t want you to be late, get your skates on mate
Let’s fly

I Am A Brother
04:05
|

|
I am a brother and I am a son
Though I bear no children of my name
It used to be so close but it’s getting far away
I think I’m getting tired of the game
I’m younger than I once was in ah so many ways
I crash In to the future with no wife
I’ve only picked up one or two regrets along the way
I feel older now I look back on my life
I’ve treaded so carefully and often missed the chance
I held my cards so closely to my chest
I kicked and punched for inside but it didn’t budge an inch
I’m tired of competing with the best
Inside the fires burning though I’ve lost along the way
I've held back many stronger men than I
I sometimes think of stopping to let the crowd go past
And watch them from the corner of the shadow of my eye

If
03:59
|

If I were a Bird, would you fly away
If I had a different face, would you talk to me
And If I were gone, would you stay?
If I had a chance would I make It last,
If I had a future, If I had a past
If only times like these could last.
If I had a car, would I drive it away
If I were a child, would you come out to play?
If I didn't have a single word to say
My love
If I were a star, would you shine in my eye?
If I opened up and you saw me inside
You'd never believe the distance in my eyes
And If I returned with nothing to say
Would you look for my words, or keep them at bay
Or forget altogether why I am this way
If I were a dream would you wake with a smile
Did I conquer your soul, maybe just for a while?
And after all I've been living my life as a child.
My life
My love

Long May We Run
04:21
|

|
These are my hands
These are my toes
This is my frame
And these are my clothes
Got the wind on my tail
And I’m leaping along
We are both holding hands
Long may we run
This is my mouth
These are my eyes
When I see you
Colours burst open wide
Got the wind in my sails
And I'm speeding along
Our legs are in motion
Long may we run
This is my world
And this is my life
These are my children
And there is my wife
She’s beautiful and bold
She’s gentle but strong
She’s everything to me
Long may we run

Miss You Man

How Am I, ever gonna understand
When the wind, is blowing through my hands
Without support, however will I stand
I Miss You Man
Where are you, when that winter calls?
Where are you, when the snow it falls?
Can I see it through, when the whole thing stalls?
I Miss You
I miss You Man, I Miss You
How am I, ever gonna let you go?
How am I, ever gonna let you know?
How am I ever gone tell you Oh, I miss you so?
How Am I, Ever gonna understand
When the wind, is blowing through my hands?
Without support, however will I stand?
I Miss You Man

Rainbows
05:07
|
|||
|
Do you love me
Like I love you?
Look into the sky to see the rainbow
And those colours bleed
The yellow Into green
It's the most beautiful sight, I've ever seen
Resting side by side
It's a whole mile wide
Reflecting from your eyes into mine
If I hold you
Will you hold me to?
Look into the sky to see the rainbow
Where the colours fill my head
The orange burning into red
I am lost for words, my tongue is dead
And the Gods are standing side by side
The damn things a whole mile wide
Hallelujah in the skies
Hallelujah.
I touch the hair on your head
You touch the heart in my chest
I feel the rise and fall of your breast
|

Well I’m caught between the night and day
My senses have been stripped away
The winter rain has soaked us to our bones
Mascara has run down your cheek
Your eyes are closed, you’re half asleep
The driver pulls away to take us home
It’s just the two of us
Just the two of us
On the city bus heading back from town
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
With faces and people and light flashing round
We get stuck at the traffic lights
I see crowds of people passing by
Soho looked so pretty in the rain
Soon we’ll be away from here
It seems so right now you are here
My hand it holds the hand that holds my heart
|

10. |

|
She’s not gonna call you tonight
Please don’t wait up half the night
Although I’ll be there on the end of the phone
It’s not right
Dressed up and ready to leave
I you dried all my tears on my sleeve
I know I’ll return to the love that
That I know I can’t leave
You don’t know how lovely you are
You don’t feel the weight of my heart
You fell to my life like a star
I opened my arms a little to far
You don’t know
You don’t know how lovely you are
You’re beautiful In your new shoes
I’m finding it so hard to choose
The love that I love or the love
That I’m willing to loose
You were reckless and I was alone
The weight of the world said hello
I tried to escape but I ended up
Running back home
