How Long
Inside my home where loneliness grows, I keep myself thinking,
Baby oh how long, baby oh how long?
So I drink till I drop and I do drink a lot, as a matter of fact I seem to have,
Forgot, seem to have forgot,
How much since,
You ran away and stole my brain, I got derailed just went insane,
All gone, baby I'm all gone
Since you left
I was so young and you were the same, didn't believe that it would've changed,
So fast, but we changed too fast,
So when the winds of change came to carry me away from your misery,
I walked on, baby I walked on,
To where the grass was green and the flowers bloomed, the stars shined with the moon,
And you called, baby oh you called,
And you said hello through the phone, asked me how long I'd be gone and if I'd,
Moved on, baby I've moved on,
It's for the best
And you said that you wouldn't leave me,
And you said that you didn't need me,
Baby oh how long, baby oh how long?
Baby I've moved on, baby I've moved on
If I could I'd get you out of my life, but you're in my blood you're the venomous bite,
And I won't fight, baby I won't fight,
Well I held back my words 'till they came from my wounds, and I did it all for me and you,
I was wrong, baby I was wrong,
So don't run from the dark or you'll never see the sunrise, no need to apologize,
It's just time, baby it's just time,
So save your letters, save your songs, don't send them to me, I'm not the one who will,
Hold on, know I won't hold on,
It's in the past
And you said that you wouldn't leave me,
And you said that you didn't need me,
Baby oh how long, baby oh how long
Baby I've moved on, baby I've moved on

Red In The Sky
I see birds on the breeze
Coming down to their trees
I hear the roar of the sea
Then it flows back undying
I taste the storm born belief, that there's no use in crying
Red in the sky
Brings me back
To that night
The cigarettes on the floor
Remind me of before
The lights, are to bright
For this cool cruel night
My shadow is left behind
Just waiting for someone to find
Red in the sky
Brings me back
To that night
When the full moon shines
I will hear you again
When the full moon shines
I will make you regret
Red in the sky
Brings us back
To that night
Sometimes I see you passing above my grave
But when I call for you, you look the other way
Even though I'm gone I will still haunt your memories
Even though I'm gone, you will never get rid of me
Stabbed you in the back I didn't look in your eyes
Didn't get my hands dirty, I was using a knife
Cried, devil, devil take me, and tighten my noose
I've killed my love, I've had enough, I got nothing to lose
Red in the sky
Brings me back (brings you back)
To that night (to that night)
Red in the sky
Brings us back
To that night

I was using up my time
Making love and drinking wine
My Darling Girl
You were looking so divine
I was nearly lost in mind
My Charming Man
So hey baby, I don't mind the little things
But you say that's the remedy
You're only chance to make ends meet
Just so you can fall in love with
Hey baby, I don't mind the little things
But you say that's the remedy
You're only chance to make ends meet
Just so you can fall in love with
Him.
Now I'm over my old ways,
You have had a change in taste
My Darling Girl
Much preferred you yesterday,
Now you're plain and all too straight
My Charming Man
But can't you see
You're the one, made for me
So you say
First you must change your ways
So hey baby, I don't mind the little things
But you say that's the remedy
You're only chance to make ends meet
Just so you can fall in love with
Hey baby, I don't mind the little things
But you say that's the remedy
You're only chance to make ends meet
Just so you can fall in love with
Him.
Back to using up my time
Making love and drinking wine
My Darling Girl
Now you're looking so divine
I am wholly lost in mind
My Charming Man
My Darling Girl
My Charming Man
My Darling Girl
My Charming Man
My Darling Girl
So hey baby, I don't mind the little things
But you say that's the remedy
You're only chance to make ends meet
Just so you can fall in love with
Hey baby, I don't mind the little things
But you say that's the remedy
You're only chance to make ends meet
Just so you can fall in love with
Him.

Tempest
Tempest you've got me in the deep end
Oh god, who knows for how long
Taking, back roads into your mind
Traveling, faster than the speed of light
Black holes, taking over my mind
Can't we, just enjoy the sunrise
You know, it's going to change in time
Cross roads, then wave goodbye
And you know that it's not the first time
And I hope it's not the last time
Cos' I just can't resist you and you
Don't know how much I've missed you
Take me, into your temple
Don't bow, I'm not to worship
Why do, I feel the need to fall
Oceans, have swallowed up this warship
And you know that it's not the first time
And I hope it's not the last time
Cos' I just can't resist you and you
Don't know how much I've missed you
Tempest you had me in the deep end
Now we're back onto dry land
I took, back roads into your mind
Changing, faster than the speed of light

The Snake Charmer
There's a black snake in Eden darlin'
Trying to tell me what to do
Crying “Burn down this garden oh”
And leave without you
Take a down at the nearest crossroads
Fastest way out of here
No better way to forget her you know
Then run out of here
But I, oh I
Am The Snake Charmer
And I, oh I,
Well I know better
And you, oh you
Better know, you better know
That you,
Are my Eden darlin'
Tell that black Snake he's got no business
Tryin' to rid all that we have built
That bastards probably just jealous
We're not lonely still
For a moment don't you lose your faith
Don't you listen, to the black Snake
Don't let him cheat you and take it all
Life was better before the fall
But I, oh I
Am The Snake Charmer
And I, oh I,
Well I know better
And you, oh you
Better know, you better know
That you,
You're my Eden darlin'
That you,
You're my Eden darlin'

Footprints
All I am is footprints in the sand
See no waves darlin' as I understand
Keep my feet planted in shallow shores
Water won't erase me what would I leave for
But my dear you've got so much to lose
Tides are bound to change no matter, what you do
I once thought this place was meant for me
The waves rolled in my mark was only temporary
Who's to say that you're the same as me
Your footsteps faded 'cos you left the beach
I will stand steadfast in my belief
Never to abandon my place by the sea
You said never never mine,
never never mine
The same, (Cross the waves-)
on the other side,
on the other side, (we will wait)
on the other side
You can't, (Cross the sea-)
run away from time,
run away from time, (Life will be-)
run away from time (So much more)
You said,
Never never mine, (never never mine)
Never never mine, (never never mine)
Never never mine, (never never mine)
All I am is footprints in the sand
See the waves comin' and I, understand
