(i Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight
Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something i can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And i don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to
this
Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface i'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cos i've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh i, i just died in your arms...
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, i know i was wrong
Oh i, i just died in your arms...

A Day At The Mother-in-law's
Mother dear, mother dear, mother dear
The sky is getting cloudy and it
looks a lot like it might
Start to rain so pick up your bag
and your plastic mac
While I phone your mother again
to tell her we'll still
come over (ring ring)
Mother dear, it's nice to hear from you again
Mother dear, don't speak now
we'll be over as soon as we can
Heading out the front door
say good morning to the neighbours
Passing by then it caught my eye
the bus we needed
the bus too that takes us right outside
Mother dear it's nice to see you smiling face
Again once more Mother dear the time ha flown
and I'm afraid we'll have to go
Waving from the window see that
lonly look glistening
In her eye as we head back home
she is left alone till
next week at the same time
until the goodbye
goodbye Mother dear, goodbye goodbye

A Million Conversations
We can try to understand
It's something we should know
A mother's dream is broken
And she's got nowhere to go
Do we know just what we're doing
We're living in the past
The hopes and dreams we're hiding
Seem to hold on to the last
A million conversations never said a word
Countless delegations saying things that won't be heard
(Chorus):
Oh oh try to understand
The children of the future
Gotta have a chance
Oh oh it's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
You'll fight a war for fame
No-one takes the blame
She sells her soul for water
As they faced another plane
We don't know what we're doing
The innocent won't last
Praying that their conscience makes
Them reconize the past
A million conversations never said a word
Countless delegations saying things that
Won't be heard
(Chorus)

A Spaceman Came Travelling
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
He followed the light and came down to a share,
Where a mother and a child were lying there on a bed,
And a bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid
Then the stranger spoke, he said do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all
round
And just before dawn at the paving of the sky,
The stranger returned and said now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry
And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
And it went la la la..
And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
And it went la la la..

A Stranger With You
Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in
Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine
Are followin' you
I've fallen for you
whatever you do
'Cause baby you've shown me so many things
that I never knew
Whatever it takes
Baby, I'll do it for you
Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
You were so young
Ah, and I was so free
I may have been young but baby
That's not what I wanted to be
Well you were the one
Oh, why was it me
'Cause baby you've shown me so many things
That I'd never seen
Whatever you need
Baby, you got it from me
Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in
Ah, stumblin' in
Mmmm, stumblin' in
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in
Oh, stumblin' in
I'm stumblin' in
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in

A Winters Tale
The nights are colder now
maybe I should close the door.
Anyway the snow is covered all your foot steps
and I can follow you no more.
The fire still burns at night
my memories are warm and clear.
But everybody knows
it's hard to be alone at this time of year.
It was only a winters tale
Just another winters tale.
Why should the world ignortize
of one more love thats fail.
It's the love that could never be
though it meant to love to you and me
on the world wide scale
with just another winters tale.
While I stand alone
The bell is ringing far away.
I wonder if you hear.
I wonder if you're listening.
I wonder where you are today.
Good luck I wish you well
for all that wishes made be worth
I hope that love and strength with you
for the length of your time of love.

African Nights
Over a land where the water flows
An eagle flies where the west wind blows
I saw her eyes shining crystal clear
One in a million years
And our hearts were one under burning suns
to the city of gold we will run
(Chorus)
I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I've thrown down my chains and
I'm ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire at the
African nights
From where I stand I can feel her touch
I'm in her hands and it means so much
I undersand when the vision is gone
This feeling inside carries on
If the heart and mind reach a borderline
Who could consider it a crime
(Chorus)

Ain't Gonna Rain
Girl I'd better tell you now
I'd better warn you
I'm not like any other guy
Who came off the street corner
Cos I got a heritage
Yeah, I got history
And I got Indian blood
Deep inside of me
No it ain't gonna rain no more
No it ain't gonna rain no more
Girl you'd better hold on tight
If you want the ride of your life
You'd better watch me
Cos I'M gonna watch you
Accross the big white plain
To a new horizon
Taking the wise words of old
Joe Cherokee
No it ain't gonna rain no more
No it ain't gonna rain no more
Girl I'm in a wonder
Wonder world
And I'd give you my world
If I could
Now girl you better listen to me
Cos my heart's no longer free
I can see it in the cloud
I can feel it in the wind
No it ain't gonna rain no more
No it ain't gonna rain no more

Ain't It Funny How It Works
Ain't it funny how it works, you chase something all you
life,
then you find it when you'd finally given up.
When I least expected it, the stars lined up just right,
and suddenly I found myself in love.
When you're lyin' next to me, there's no place I'd rather
be on earth.
It's strange how simple love can be,ain't it funny how it
works.
Ain't it funny how it works, you know just the way I
feel,
before I even have to say a thing,
I see it every day, but it still amazes me,
what a little trust and honesty can bring.
When you're reachin out to me, I've got so much love to
return.
Love is such sweet mystery,ain't it funny how it works.
When you're lyin' next to me, there's no place I'd rather
be on earth.
It's strange how simple love can be,ain't it funny how it
works.
