Penumbra Moon
Standing in the moonlight
I saw you standing in the moonlight
With your hair a shining blue
I shivered in the midnight air.
He was in the shadows
He was hiding in the shadows
Why he looked so dark and cold
And lonely, only heaven knows.
Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you
Feeling so shy
Hiding behind somebody too.
Oh I'm just like you
If I could have one wish
Oh I'd take you on a starship
But I wouldn't know what to do with
All the love I have for you.
Nothing much between us
No there's nothing much between us
Even Mercury and Venus
Couldn't take me far from you
Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you
Feeling so shy
Hiding behind somebody too.
Oh I'm just like you

Running Away
Knock knock the door don't lock
Whenever your around
Ring ring the bell don't stop
Inviting everybody round
I try to shut my eyes
But every time I do
I see a photograph
Of everyone in the room
Well they can stay right there
And they can use my bed
Because I feel like running away
You know I feel like running away
Because I feel like running
I feel like running away
Strike a light I'll be polite
And say the proper thing
Pull up a chair forget I'm here
And take the weight off your feet
Come through I bet you do
Without touching the sides
Cold cuts and cashew nuts
Will take good care of you tonight
If that's the life you want
Then it's the life you've got
Because I feel like running away
You know I feel like running away
Because I feel like running
I feel like running away
Because I can't get enough of your love
You know I can't get enough of your love
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough of your love
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough
But I can't get enough of your love
Because I can't get enough of your love
You know I can't get enough of your love
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough of your love
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough
Can't get enough of your love

Love Finds You
Love can be wonderful
Love can be kind
Love can guide you but
Love can make you blind
When your down and out with nothing left to loose
Love finds you
Love is the sweetest thing
Love can go sour
Love can give you wings
Love can make you drown
When a friendship breaks
Then finds itself renewed
Love finds you
Why is it so contagious
Why is it vivacious
Something that you can't buy
Only a fool would try
There ain't a remedy
We're all at risk
Memory fades but you
Must remember this
If you're searching all alone without a clue
Love finds you

Old Jealousy
This feeling in my throat ain't lying
Old jealousy is back again
Forget the past well I've been trying
But every night brings a new pain.
Your so called friends with all their lipstick
And their freaky old men
Well they don't bother me
But I believed you when you said
YouÕd told me everything and
That I find so hard to forgive
Ah ah
This feeling in my throat ain't lying
Old jealousy is back again
Forget the past well I've been trying
But every night brings a new pain.
I know these words are sounding bitter
But they're better out than
Poisoning my love
Don't want to hurt you
And I really should forgive you
But it takes a long long time
To give up.

Reverie
When I'm alone
Or in a crowded room
Lost in a reverie
Why do I always think of you
Throughout the day
Or in the midnight blue
When I can't get to sleep
Why do I always think of you
It's a mystery to me
Why I'm lost in a dream
When the sun fades away
And shadows fall
Is it twilight or rain
At the end of the day
Well there must be
A reason for it all

That Other Guy
He's got a race horse
And he's got a four poster
Country retreat
Like the white cliffs of Dover
But oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl
He shoots at weekends
With lady La-de-da
On oodles of champagne
And Russian caviar
But oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl
Will he make her feel
Safer in limousines
Or will he hold her
When she is afraid
I hear the birds sing
So sweetly when I wake up
I've got a good friend that
Won't ever leave me
But oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl
I said oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl

Warrior
Paint me like a Zulu
Throw me to the lions
There ain't nothing left
To frighten me besides
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.
Kick me in the deep end
Send me to the stars
You won't see no difference
Maybe It's because
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.
I don't need a bow
Silver or gold, chariot of fire
The story, we know
Getting retold, twisted and tired.
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.
You know I'm convicted
Put me to the test
Just show me the wicket
Time will do the rest
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.
I think it's a shame
Hearing your name
Spoken in anger.
They're racking their brains
Trying to explain questions and answers.
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a worrier for you.

White City Lights
My friends are all waiting with time on their hands,
It's Saturday night
The bridges are broken there's no turning back
To white city lights
Here on this stage it gets harder to relate
What did I do to change me this way
Oh! Yes I remember I can just see your face
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!
A hero, A villain, is what you'll become
Or take the road in between
As free as a bird or a man on the run
Well it could have been me
When other lights shine and then leave me in the dark
You're always there
You have been from the start
But we're still separated and it's breaking my heart
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

Velvet Rut
What d'you want
Come on now why don't you tell me
What d'you want
I know you don't need my money
We've been through the
Flooded rivers and the road
And there ain't nothing that can
Stop me from loving you it's true
Come on let me know
oh oh oh oh oh oh
What d'you want
If it's my love well you got it
Come on and tell me what d'you want
There's nothing left in my pocket
I don't feel a breath of wind in the air
We're in the doldrums
You can break my heart I don't really care
You see I'd rather it were me than someone else
oh oh oh oh oh oh
You can see that I'm stuck in a velvet rut
You've got me sounding like a
Record that jumps and jumps
Come on tell me what d'ya want
oh oh oh oh oh oh

Brown And Beige
You were lovely in brown and beige
And with the sunset
You looked so perfect
Evening sparkle upon your face
The day was almost
In purple shadow
And the twilight fell like rain
And I had to look again
Slender ladies in English lace
Their lips like rosebuds
Their kiss for no one
But you were lovely in brown and beige
I should have told you
But felt no need to
And the twilight fell like rain
And I had to look again

Give Me Love
She come, she gone
No explanation
Left me tired and cold
Don't bear no grudge
You win you lose some
All that shines is not gold
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
Don't want no ties
No self denying
Can alter my destiny
Like fading sun
I'm disillusioned
Only one thing I need
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
One more heartache
Guaranteed
That's the way
It has to be
See

Alone Again
Alone again
And the blue sky has disappeared
All alone again
But it feels like you will always be here
I picture your face
Smiling at me
Wondering why you came and then went away
Alone again
With the clouds overtaking me
Darkness in the rain
But I'm gonna try
And sail on through it
And maybe you will follow
And hold me through the night
Sunrise drifting to a place
Where the ocean meets the sky
Alone on a stormy sea
Then you came along and found me there
One moment of tranquillity
If I could only make it last forever
