Woman of My Dreams
04:20
|
|||
Real time's hardly all time
Just one place visited
Why is it that I'm living
If not for the world of dreams?
And nightmare's haunt me less now
Since she came to me
Who is she?
Is she me?
Who is she?
Is she me?
I wanna be the woman of my dreams
The woman of my dreams
I wanna be the woman of my dreams
The woman of my dreams
I've heard of her before
But, you know, I've never seen her
So's without, So's within
We see what we believe in
I wanna be the woman of my dreams
The woman of my dreams
I wanna be the woman of my dreams
The woman of my dreams
I've heard of her before
But, you know, I've never seen her
So's without, So's within
We see what we believe in
I wanna be the woman of my dreams
The woman of my dreams
I wanna be the woman of my dreams
The woman of my dreams

Mr. Placebo

Mr. Placebo
Shines little bits of heaven when he smiles
And all earth-dwellin' worryin' subsides
'Cause he's what love is
Mr. Placebo's
candy-coated glance steals heart and mind
Dreams and aspirations get intwined
With what his love his
With what his love is
Mr. Placebo
Says love is walkin' two steps behind him
Give until there's nothin' left to find
That's what my love should be
Mr. Placebo
Though I like you for sure
Honey, you are not my cause or my cure
I brought me to this fate
Couldn't live for the heartache
And stacked all these past mistakes against myself
Yeah, it's me who put me in this prison cell
And it's me who'l choose my hell or my heaven
Mr. Placebo
Now, honey, walk with me and I will walk beside you
And we'll share a love that won't compromise we two
Just think what love could be
Just think what love could be

Afriqueen Stare
03:48
|

I recall the first day I lay eyes on you
Brown crown of hair and an afriqueen stare
You don't know your place
Your Highness, you rattle their cages
Uncivilized savagery maybe they say
But I bow to my afriqueen
I recall the first day I lay eyes on you
Brown crown of hair and an afriqueen stare
Full aware of the score
No, their kingdom never was yours
Baptized on amazon shores
You survey your queendom
With layers of lifetimes in your eyes
With layers of lifetimes in your eyes
I pray what you look for you will find
I pray where you look there you will find
That anywhere you are
Well, it's alright tonight
Anywhere you are
It's alright tonight
Anywhere you are
It's alright tonight
Forever as tonight
I recall the first day I lay eyes on you
Brown crown of hair and an afriqueen stare

I look up to you to see another me in your eyes
Hold your mirrors high
Hold your mirrors high
'Cause your win is our win
Sweet inspiration
I look up to you to see another me in your eyes
Hold your mirrors high
Hold your mirrors high
Sister please
Please remember me
Sister please
Need you here with me
It means the world to me to share our hearts
To be weightless of worries
Love unconditional
Hold our love high
Hold our love high
It means the world to me to share our hearts
Hold our love high
Hold our love high
Sister please
Please remember me
Sister please
Need you here with me

A friend in need is a friend indeed
A friend in need is a friend indeed
And I need you, baby

A friend in need is a friend indeed
A friend in need is a friend indeed
And I'll be here for you, baby
When you need me too
A friend in need is a friend indeed
A friend in need is a friend indeed
And I'll be here for you
When you need me too

Make It Right
03:18
|
|||
Woke up this morning dressed in yesterday's clothes
Woke up this morning someone I've never known
And she kinda looks me
She kinda looks like me
She got showered, dressed, ate breakfast alone
Looked out at her new world then she looks at the phone
Still like me she kinda misses you
Still like me she knows things can't stay the same
No, no, baby
A wrong don't make a right
Yeah, yeah, baby
Let's make it right
Let's make it right
It's been two days later and she calls him on the phone
It's been two days later and she says she's coming home
She says, "We've got our love to live."
She says, "I used to believe that love came sweet as a rose.
Now I believe love's as sweet as we propose."
No, no, baby
A wrong don't make a right
Yeah, yeah, baby
Let's make it right
Let's make it right

Golden Horizon
02:46
|

Walk with me, Darlin'
We're headed the same way
Walk with me, Darlin'
For I'm goin' your way
And you, you're going mine
A golden horizon
Trust in us, Darlin'
When I don't see it your way
And you don't see it mine
We see the same thing from our own ways
Trust in us, Darlin'
We see the same thing
A golden horizon

Depend on You
04:26
|
|||
When city livin' isn't livin' somehow
And it's got you wound up tight
I'll be around
To walk you down
To talk you down
Do anything you want me to
I'll put my lovin' arms around you
Like you've done when I've been where you are
I've come to depend on you
I've come to depend on you
When money runs from pocket like you've got the plague
And you're too sick and tired to give a damn
Don't run away
Just run my way
You don't have to be afraid
Just know my door is always open
I'll put my lovin' arms around you
Like you've done when I've been where you are
I've come to depend on you
I've come to depend on you
In these streets paved in confusion
You get lost tryin' to make sense
When the only news is bad news
And it's doin' you in
I've come to depend on you
I've come to depend on you
When the whole world thinks you're crazy
Or it just feels that way
And it keeps gettin' harder to be yourself
Don't give up
Just phone me up
You don't have to ask me once
I'm right there beside you
I'll put my lovin' arms around you
Like you've done when I've been where you are
I've come to depend on you
I've come to depend on you
In these streets paved in confusion
You get lost tryin' to make sense
When the only news is bad news
And it's doin' you in
I've come to depend on you
I've come to depend on you

Who Do You Love?
03:15
|

Who do you love when your ship has sunk to the ground?
Who do you love, baby?
Would you love you?
Could you love you?
Who do you love when your ship has come in?
Who do you love, baby?
Would you love you?
Could you love you?
Would you?
Who do you love if not first you that you love?
Who do you love, baby?
Would you love you?
Could you love you?
Would you love you?
Could you love you?

Love Song
04:27

He seeks temporary shelter
When goes his storm so will he leave my arms
I want him when I don't want to
I love him when I don't love to
Love comes my way
But love won't stay
Love won't stay
Love wont' stay
Love comes my way
But love won't stay
Swears he'll stay but I know he'll go his way
No love lives in my haunted heart
I want him, I want him not
I love him, I love him not
Love comes my way
But love won't stay
Love won't stay
Love wont' stay
Love comes my way
But love won't stay
Only passing time can make me change my mind
See my future in a different way
Time moves much too fast to hold to the past
Love as we're here today or love won't stay
Love won't stay
I will look for my tomorrow with yesterday and today
To face my ghosts from lovers past
To free my soul from singing love won't last
Love come my way
Come and stay

I'm not afraid of the dark
Not like most the other kids
Don't feel at home at play in the city
Not sure where home is
And I can't seem to find my way home
Can't seem to find my way
How do you find the way to where you've never been
With no directions?
Can't be too far from here
Can't be too far
Can't be too far from here
Can't be too far
Well, I've made this mistake before
Of hitchin' rides from strangers
Whose destinations weren't mine
And now I'm lost I fear
And I can't seem to find my way home
Can't seem to find my way
How do you find the way to where you've never been
With no directions?
Can't be too far from here
Can't be too far
Can't be too far from here
Can't be too far
I've searched a long time, Darlin'
And I'm searchin' still
With faith I'll find the day
Where home is where I'll be
Can't be too far from here
Can't be too far
Can't be too far from here
Can't be too
