Centrifuge 05:27
lyrics

You catch my eye and my head starts spinning Love roulette can I keep on winning? A whirling dervish who keeps on turning around and around and around and around… You turn my head and the world keeps twirling I bought us tickets, let’s go tilt-a-whirling Whirling dervishes with life unfurling around and around and around and around… Chorus: Out of control, I send out a silent shout Throw me in, shoot me out from this emotional roundabout Hand in hand there’s no competing Revolving doors with no completing You and I will keep unreeling around and around and around and around… Let’s go tilt-a-whirling around and around and around and around and around and around and around …

Help Me To Believe 05:29

Help Me Believe – Paul Cogley In a cool dark room you can see it A nightmare will unfold The fear has gotten hold Some will say that’s just in your nature I dare not disagree I am not in control In the haze of the sunlight I’ll be waiting for you Keep on seeing Keep on dreaming When the light turns blue Is when the memory of you Shines through… Helps me to believe You can almost see it glow The shadows are erased There is no hiding now On a moonlit night you can see it The journey has begun Remember you’re not alone In the haze of the sunlight I’ll be waiting for you Keep on seeing Keep on dreaming When the light turns blue Is when the memory of you Shines through… Helps me to believe

Rainy Day 06:49
lyrics

The raindrops sound heavy on the window panes Steadily pounding in an arrhythmic way Drowning the sound of your last goodbye That still echoes off the walls, still makes me cry You’ve been gone for some time, now it seems But in a way it feels like yesterday you took your leave There is nothing to fill the hole you left behind My heart and our home still crying…. Every day’s a rainy day Every night’s an empty space And in between there is a void From which there is no escape Your laughter still wakes me from sleep Your footsteps still echo so deep You’re everywhere, you’re nowhere, anywhere to be found It’s all I can do to keep my feet on the ground. I look around the house, then at the front door The ghost of you still haunts me to the core And will for some time to come, as far as I can see No doubt one day the sun will shine once more for me Your last words, hang heavy in the stagnant air That was the time I am sure I knew you didn’t care But still I hope that there was a time you loved me And that’s a hope that I hold on to, for now and for evermore

When I Know Who You Are 04:33
lyrics

I see you on a mountain trail Smell you in the fresh cut grass I see you in a golden vale On a lake as smooth as glass I feel you in the bright of day And again in the dark of night Like a shadow on a grave Gives me such an awful fright Chorus Everything I cannot see That is clear to you and me Everything I cannot hear Makes it seem that you are near Other than what’s in my heart of hearts When I know who you are I see you in a child’s eyes Laughing at a world gone mad Just another compromise Can’t explain why we’re not sad I hear you in a hardware store Making all that noise upstairs Creaking like an old dance floor Criticizing my affairs I wear you like a daisy chain Lick you like a candy cane Could even be a bad migraine Rumbling like a late freight train I see you like a summertime glare I sense you like static in the air I taste you like honey from the bees I feel you like the wind through the trees I hear you like seagulls on the beach Your nothing but a shameless tease

Soliloquy (Drifting) 06:00
lyrics

Drifting, Drifting On an Ocean of Time Slowly, Breaking On the Shores of Your Smile Sinking, Sinking Into the Soft Curve of Night Breathing, Together Under the Fires of the Sky Chorus: The Clouds and the Trees Will Not Last Forever… (Nothing Lasts Forever) The Rivers and Seas Will Not Last Forever… (Nothing Lasts Forever) The Sun and the Moon Will Not Last Forever… (Nothing Lasts Forever) But (You and I) Will Linger After All That We’ve Known is Gone Watching, Waiting For the Grey Clouds to Part Listen, Closely To the Sighs of Soft Winds Smiling, Laughing With a Song in Our Hearts Looking, Backwards The Mask of the World Falls Away

TickTockMan 03:29

The Tick Tock Man Verse The Tick Tock Man sits in his office Checking schedules, making sure they’re precise Can’t lose a minute Can’t lose a second He’s got a stranglehold on everyone’s life You’d better hurry Better not be late Chorus (And so it goes) There was no room for killing time (And so it goes) It ended up that time was killing me Let me go Leave me alone Let me be The Tick Tock Man sits in his throne room Waiting for his minions to trap an errant soul The cogs are grinding Things are slowing Some crazy nut was raining candy on the town He must be found, he must be punished Deviations from the norm are not allowed The Tick Tock Man Day in Day out Chorus (And so it goes) There was no room for killing time (And so it goes) It ended up that time was killing me Let me go Leave me alone Let me be Let me go Leave me alone Let me be Just let me be

My Broken Heart 07:55
lyrics

Let me tell you darling Sad day when the wind starts calling Come to me, quick I am falling Through the door that leads to a Lonely tree on a windswept shore Back to back we stand once more I reach out but you ignore My fear of the dark Walking alone it seems Hard to think it’s all a dream Let’s meet mid-stream Find our love once more Sun it fades across the sky You and I may not know why Sometimes I sit and cry But silence fills the room Don’t walk away! Don’t leave me alone! I can’t do this on my own How could we know When did this start Ah here’s a piece of My breaking heart Did the dream you left behind Strangle love like a thorny vine What turns a glass of wine Into an empty room Then came that day my darling I knew you heard me calling Come, quick, I am falling But you let my voice drift Away My voice drifted away My arms are weak My eyes are dry My heart is cold I wonder why How could we know When did this start Ah here’s a piece of My broken heart What about our ever after Seems it never mattered Drop the glass and it shattered Pieces everywhere Crowded bus, empty train Things won’t ever be the same Cloudy tears wash down the drain The seasons pass us by Look around before you cross Careful now, don’t get lost There’s a path for each of us Still it makes me sad Can’t believe my dear you’re gone Now I’m lying all alone Wonder why it took so long To feel the wind For me to feel the wind Just walk away! Leave me alone! I can do this on my own How could we know When did this start Ah here’s a piece of My broken heart Just go away! Leave me to cry! I don’t need you by my side How could we know When did this start Ah here’s a piece of My broken heart

1000 Ships 06:34
lyrics
1000 Ships There’s lightning in the parlor Thunder in my room It’s raining in the kitchen The sun can’t shime too soon I’m set for heavy weather Braced against the tide Tsunami’s on the front lawn There’s nowhere left to hide St Elmo’s on the bedpost His eyes are shining bright He’s promising a good time But he’s giving me a fright Meanwhile I’m busy searching My eyes on the horizon I spy you rowing to my door As the house capsizes You’ve read my signal S.O.S. through the air You launched a 1000 rescue ships It’s good to know you care (Good to know you care/4x – James) (You know I care/3x – Sarah) 1000 Ships are coming 1000 Ships for me 1000 Ships are leaving Sailing for the wine-dark sea (3x – James) Come on board we’re leaving Come on board with me Come on board we’re leaving We’re sailing for the wine-dark sea (2x – Sarah) Sailing for the wine-dark sea (3x – James and Sarah)
