Harmony To My Heartbeat
Dreams, they come and go
this is one that I’ve had forever I know
been crossing my fingers and always hoping
for it to come true
Waiting for the train
I can see your face in the distance again
got a little dream that’s become a friend
and a reality
And I’m running just as fast as I can
to tell you the news
we can do this together
we can
yeah me and you
When you hold me I can see
this is exactly where I wanna be
you’re the harmony to my heartbeat baby
Dreams, they come and go
but I just kept doing what I loved even though
all I ever wished for was out of breath
running so slow
I found the lock and the key
now I can be everything I’ve wanted to be
got a little dream that’s become a friend
for the melody
And I’m running just as fast as I can
to tell you the news
we can do this together
we can
yeah me and you
When you hold me I can see
this is exactly where I wanna be
you’re the harmony to my heartbeat baby
Harmony to my heartbeat baby
Harmony to my heartbeat baby
When you hold me I can see
this is exactly where I wanna be
you’re the harmony to my heartbeat baby

Set Me Free
When I go out at night I can feel this
beating inside
it’s like I am holding
a knife in my hand
I’m hurting the man
who told me that he loved me and that he’d understand
Oh for the mood that brings in the springtime
Oh for the food I’ll make you cause you’re mine
you are a white dove
I am the tight glove
loosening with finger tips
right up above
Oh I know that this is love
and I know that this should be enough
but I’m a girl
who needs to be
alone sometimes
so set me free
When I go out at night I can see this
image of you looking down from the sky
there’s a glow in my heart
a wonderful spark
and nothing in the universe can tear us apart
Oh I know that this is love…
Set me free
I know that you love me
but this is all
I ask of you
I need some space from time to time
so I can do the things
I love to do
Oohh…
Oh I know that this is love
and I know that this should be enough
but I’m a girl
who needs to be
alone sometimes
so set me free
I’m a girl
who needs to be
alone sometimes
so set me free

On The Borderline
Remember when you told me in the morning
you said I was tough
tougher than the average woman
but I guess that is not tough enough
cause when you left me on the weekend
I was crumbling
at the roots and the stem
like a flower dying in the garden
Now you’re gone I have to strengthen up my little heart
find my own way
light my own torch and
sparkle my own spark
when I wake up in the morning
I feel very numb
but I’m gonna get through
I’m gonna tell myself every day
Get yourself up, get yourself up
get yourself out of bed
this is a new day, this is a new day
this is a new day today
snapping your fingers, tapping your toes
you are humming a tune, you know, you know
this is a new day, this is a new day
this is a new day today
On the borderline
from what is right to what is wrong
there I am and there I try
I try to carry on
and when I’m standing on a mountain
I feel brave and strong
yeah I’m gonna get through
with or without you
Get yourself up, get yourself up
get yourself out of bed
this is a new day, this is a new day
this is a new day today
snapping your fingers, tapping your toes
you are humming a tune, you know, you know
this is a new day, this is a new day
this is a new day today
I’m gonna change, I’m gonna change
I’m gonna change the way
I see myself today
I’m gonna change, I’m gonna change
but there’s gotta be an easier way
an easy way to start the day
Get yourself up, get yourself up
get yourself out of bed
this is a new day, this is a new day
this is a new day today
snapping your fingers, tapping your toes
you are humming a tune, you know, you know
this is a new day, this is a new day
this is a new day today
Snapping you fingers, tapping your toes
You are humming a tune, you know you know
This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day today …

Book Song
Is this me?
I’ll say it to myself
so you don’t think
that I’m crazy
this club is soulless
and I think that I would
rather be
writing the pages of a book
that you’ll read
quietly
inside your house
all by yourself
that’s where I want to be
Rock ‘n’ roll
I never aimed to own the stage
or to sell my soul
I’d rather write a book with characters
whose lives unfold
and bring you coffee in the morning
when outside it’s cold
while you read the first draft
‘Ah,’ you say,
‘this is gold!’
In a dream
that’s where I am
until I find
the literary stream
and then I’ll swim to save my life
and write a book about your wife
and how she sits inside her house all day
and writes, and writes
the pages bound
the crowd applauding at the writer’s fair
each person takes a copy home to bed and
Holds it there

Dream About Changing
The magician is late
I decide to fake
my own tricks
I’m lying in the back of a smashed up car
with a drum and a guitar
beside me
The car radio is on
what is this song
I try to sing along
but cannot keep up with the words
I close my eyes
and dream about changing
I’m sailing a ship on a lake that never runs dry
stopping and starting because I’m a little
I’m a little bit shy
Girl comes running with a book in her hand
I open to the first page it says
yes you can
get over your shy inhibitions if you try to
She says follow me down to the lake
and take
all your troubles and your worries
and you shake, shake, shake
them out into
the deep blue water
I’m sailing a ship on a lake…
I’m a little bit shy…
Surprise surprise
you’re standing in a movie still
the sun in your eyes
I walk up to you and say can we
talk about it
yes you say you’d like to
You whisper something
in my ear
it is a code or a message and it all
becomes so clear
I close my eyes
and dream about changing
I’m sailing a ship on a lake…
I’m a little bit shy…

Heart That’s Pounding
Trouble inside I am not like
all the other girls that you saw last night
Loudon Wainwright said it before
you can save my life if you give me more
I had a shot at what I thought was the
best day of my life now it’s gonna end
yellow and blue the target was see-through
fortune teller said ‘I told you’
I wanna see a heart that’s pounding
I wanna hear a beat that’s sounding
bigger than a leap that’s bounding
I was lost but now you’ve found me
There is a world to fix
a tape to mix
a mind to mend
a soul to bend
a start to end
fish to feed
some dough to knead
a girl to be
a boy to see
lovey, lovey
I wanna see a heart that’s pounding
I wanna hear a beat that’s sounding
bigger than a leap that’s bounding
I was lost but now you’ve found me
What’s the use in loving if you’re not loving like you
think you’re gonna die if you don’t see your loved one
without you for just ten days well I
feel like I’m gonna die
When I lie in bed at night
I can feel my heart inside
I can hear it in my head
I can feel it in my fingertips
there’s no way I can hide
this desperation
I wanna see a heart that’s pounding
I wanna hear a beat that’s sounding
bigger than a leap that’s bounding
I was lost
but now you’ve found me

I Tossed A Coin
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I used to lose it on the breeze
but this lucky charm
it served me well
I tossed a coin
you broke the spell
If it’s love that we’re talking about
then I’m with you
and it’s what’s here inside of this house
beside the lovely view
and I feel like I’m starting to change
but I’m still here
I can tell that you love me the same
when you hold me in your arms
I know I tend to disagree
I am the fire and you’re the sea
but I’m holding on, I’m holding tight
I’m so in love with you
tonight
And if you knew just how much you mean
to me, oh yeah
we are two people drifting down stream
without any cares
and I feel like I’m starting to change
but I’m still here
I can tell that you love me the same
when you hold me in your arms
Shoo be do bup…

Happy
This morning out walking
is when I decided
I saw four black birds
they were beside me
And I refuse to choose
between two things
I love so dearly
Today I had a feeling
that I’ve never had
before
To know these words is
to know the difference
so safe and warm here
why should I want more
If I decide to go
then it should be based on
happiness
Today I had a feeling
that I’ve never had
before
I’ve got this feeling
I want this feeling
forever searching
for what makes me happy
I said I’d save you
of course I mean that
but I’ve found my place now
I love these spaces
It’s all inside my mind
I know you’ll be there
when I return
Today I had a feeling
that I’ve never had
before
I’ve got this feeling
I want this feeling
forever searching
for what makes me happy
I just wanna be
Happy…

The Truth
Sun is shining
I’m not trying to be what you want me to be
yes I’m lying
cause I’m shy
and I do not want you to see
my thoughts
because they’re tangled in a web
yeah you heard what I said
There’s music in the background
and now rain falls on the roof
I’m trying to be polite
but I think I should give you
The truth
Sitting at the table staring at you while you stare at me
making idol chit chat
while the night moves on
you know that
it takes two of us
to open up our hearts
to understand the parts
that seem so secretive
that seem so distant and aloof
I’m trying to be polite
but I think I should give you
The truth
It always ends this way
I always wanna say
in an ideal world you’d tell me
why you cannot sleep at night
in an ideal world you’d come to me
and you would hold me tight
Friday night
this dinner party seems to be going quite well
if I just mind my business
then I will look like
a normal hostess
but I just want to see inside your mind
show yours and I’ll show mine
There’s music in the background
and now rain falls on the roof
I’m trying to be polite
but I think I should give you
The truth

Sentimental Seeker
When I’m sad and lonely
and hanging by a string
the puppeteer who holds me
teaches me to sing
whispering beside me
above a dark ocean
casting out my fears
like a poison potion
Shadow over soldier
I’m looking for a keeper
I want a new adventure
with a sentimental seeker
Wooden hands, wooden feet
I’ll never grow old
sitting here inside the window
waiting to be sold
but when you came inside the store
and held me in your arms
I came to life, I fell in love
you won me with your charms
Shadow over soldier
I think I’ve found a keeper
I ‘m on a new adventure
with a sentimental seeker
Sentimental Seeker
Sentimental Seeker
Sentimental Seeker
Sentimental Seeker
It’s getting deeper and I’m out of my depth
I’m losing my breath
I’m losing my breath
you’ve shown me something that I’ll never forget
I’ll never regret
the jewel of the Nile
the diamond in the sky
and the cherry in the pie
Oh! things are getting better
Sentimental Seeker
Sentimental Seeker
Sentimental Seeker
Sentimental Seeker

5 Stars
When I was young I had an easy life
a good sense of wrong and right
I had a family home
and a mother and father who cared
But when I see such a loveless face
falling from grace
it breaks my heart and it makes me think that
life isn’t fair
da da da …
Good night and good luck to you
I’ll raise my glass to the concept of understanding who I am
and how this can make a difference to the world
so complex each boy each girl
5 stars for asking a question and walking away from it all
When I saw the mug shots I found such a sad man
killing with his right hand
the same hand that held the child he had
with a woman
he never knew
Our credit cards are maxed out to the top
we start but never stop
it is a sign of the times when the people collectively feel
everything’s empty, nobody is satisfied
just look up to the sky
trust me there’s comfort in knowing the ceiling is endless
and now
everything you own means nothing to anyone
so simple, the moon, the sun
the process of learning that someone
thinks differently
to you
da da da…
Good night and good luck to you
I’ll raise my glass to the concept of understanding who I am
and how this can make a difference to the world
so complex each boy each girl
5 stars for asking a question and walking away from it all

Dark Blue Angel
Today I saw a dark blue angel
sitting high up on a swing
she looked at me and said ‘I want you’
but I will never let her in
A boy is on a ferris wheel
his hands are held up in the air
screaming ‘cause he’s happy
and the dark blue angel is not there
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never let you in
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never let you in
Kissing on a rainy day
there’s raindrops on the roses
and inside her heart she knows it
yes the dark blue angel’s flying away
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never let you in
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never let you in
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never let you in
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never
no I will never
I will never let you in
no I will never
let you in
again
Good-bye dark blue angel
I will never let you in…
