Deliver me sunshine Don't you send me no rain Oh can't you see by the state I'm in I need your sweet loving again Deliver me blue sky Don't you send me no grey It's been a long while since I've seen your smile That turns my night into day I need you here when the lightning strikes I need you here when it's cold at night I need you here just to hold me tight Until the forecast is looking bright Deliver me sunshine Forget the wind and the rain I need you here for the rest of my life Ies i need your sweet loving again I need you here for the rest of my life Yes i need your sweet loving again

Bye Bye Bye I'm leaving it behind Time Time Time Time's not on my side Steady as she goes Swaying to and fro I'm heading for the sunshine and the waves Ride Ride Ride I'm going on a ride High High High I'm reaching for the sky Steady as she goes Swaying to and fro I don't want to rock the boat I'm moving on Free Free Free I've set my spirit free Me Me Me Is where I want to be Steady as she goes Swaying to and fro No-one here to tell me what to do Steady as she goes Swaying to and fro Hoping that my dreams will all come true

Paris 03:50
You took the night train to Paris You never left a note You know it's hard loving someone like you Oh I've just got to forget you Everywhere I see reminders With every drop of rain that falls Can't concentrate loving you as I do Oh I've just got to forget you You always seem to be the one The one thing shining high above And now I feel I've just become Another victim of your love You took the night train to Paris

Wandering round with my feet off the ground Nobody up here to see I'm free as a bird and I'm singing out loud No-one can hear me but me Don't give me signs about coming back down There's really no point and no need All that I have is my head in the clouds Move along nothing to see I woke up this morning don't have the blues Lying here dreaming all day No-one just left me got nothing to lose That's just how I want things to stay Everything's best in my own little world Star of my very own show Don't need the camera the lights or the girl They're telling me 'it's time to go'

I'm not making waves for a small town girl Who ain't got nothing in this whole wide world Running around and you're causing a scene You're foolin' no-one I know where you've been You can't find a place - woh ho ho There just ain't nowhere you can hide your face And if you think you're free Oh it's a small world and you're sure, you're sure to find me La La La La La La La La La La You ain't got money and you haven't a clue I'll tell the others what I'm telling you You can't escape from this world of mine You'll be my prisoner for a long long time And if you find the door - woh ho ho Can't you see what I'm waiting for So if you think you're free Oh it's a small world and you're sure, you're sure to find me La La La La La

It might be you in my dreams tonight I want to sleep and find you there When all is said and done I think I've found someone It might be you, it might be you It might be you I'm looking for I know it's taken me a while So if I run and hide that's when I can't decide It might be you, it might be you It might be you I'm thinking of You might just be the one I love And every time I try to find the reason why It might be you, it might be you I've got a clue it might be you Yes it's true it might be you

When the winters were cold and the summers were long Childhood memories where have they gone Was I just dreaming it all feels so real At the house on the hill I remember the garden the lake by the swings Days filled with laughter the funniest things We danced to the music, I'm dancing there still At the house on the hill There's a house on a hill stands empty and cold For too many years this story I've told But what use are memories when nothing is real At the house on the hill That day on the water when my time stood still At the house on the hill

In Between 03:26
Gotta know if I'm staying or just passing through I don't have much time gotta lot of things to do You know what I'm saying You know what I mean You know that I'm just - in between I can't settle down I've lived a life that's free Everyone I get to know they just don't know me I'm not one for staying And living the dream You know that I'm just - in between Is it day or night, is it left or right (going where life takes me) Do I laugh or cry, I'm feeling so low to get high My life is my own nothing to declare I'm travelling all the way ending up no-where I'm not one for shouting You won't hear me scream You know I'm just - in between

Some things in life that can't be found You're looking too high so look on the ground There's always a clue to the way that you do it The answer is there it's just how you use it Money can't make you happy Sure you can have your fun But when you've got all you wanted You'll be back, back to square one

Decades 02:29
I sit at my piano to try to write a song I can't think of a melody the chords all turn out wrong And I haven't found a genre, I'm looking for a style I don't believe I'm getting to, anything I like But I try, yes I try I'm waiting for a miracle to keep this dream alive And I try, oh I try There's far too many failures to keep me satisfied I know it sounds familiar, I'm sure it's all been done But I've been here for decades to find the perfect song So I'm sat at this piano still searching for a tune I've never had a 'yesterday' or 'sunny afternoon' And I'm thinking out the box, I'll take it on the chin When nobody is listening, the doubt starts creeping in And I'm running out of options, I wish I didn't care There's only one thing left to do, I think I'll leave it there But I try, oh I try If only I could stay here and play for you a while Yes I try, and I try I've got nothing here to show you, am I wasting all my time?
