A Day in Gold 03:00
lyrics

A Day in Gold Time changes for sure It don't really fly It all goes to ashes We hold on to time Wondering if it’s just a phase Some lasting shining glaze Or some real emerald green In your eyes When you look that way I feel kind of bold A day like today Is a day in gold When the magic's gone We walk through the darkness Hoping that the sun Will warm us up again Had a rush of adrenaline The night went and the day came With clarity, honesty A true find When you look that way I feel kind of bold A day like today Is a day in gold Time will pass and things are bound to happen They will run their course and keep us forever young When you look that way I feel kind of bold A day like today Is a day in gold A true find When you look that way I feel kind of bold A day like today Is a day in gold A true find A true find A day in gold

Never the Way You Like It 03:21

Never the Way You Like It It’s like changing the decor You don’t like anymore Make it all brand new Why, why make it last Why dwell on the past Just break it into 2 It’s like a pattern What more can you learn From your mistakes It’s never the way you like it Never the way you dreamed it Never the way you want it You went away for a week Your mind is still racing Never the way you like it Sometimes you take a tumble Makes you feel humble Happy to be just you Hope you meet your deadline But you won’t see a dime Whether you don’t or do Show us how you feel How hard and how real It is to make it through It’s never the way you like it Never the way you dreamed it Never the way you want it You went away for a week Your mind is still racing Never the way you like it Peel away another layer Fulfill your heart’s desire It’s like a pattern What more can you learn From your mistakes Never the way you like it Never the way you dreamed it Never the way you want it You went away for a week Your mind is still racing Never the way you like it It’s never the way you like it Never the way you dreamed it Never the way you want it You went away for a week Your mind is still racing Never the way you like it Never the way you like it

Time Well Spent 02:42
lyrics

Time Well Spent Like the clouds in the sky Look how fast they go by I turn the corner and I am gone Like a wave in the ocean I have learnt to be patient And the thought of him helps me carry on He said I don’t want to wait I said let’s seal up our fate We had butterflies in our heads Although just a fantasy You think it was wasted But it was time well spent Like the strike of lightning You know that it’s coming But you kind of love the danger Like a bright sunny day carries away All the things that don’t really matter He said oh I don’t wanna fight I said You gotta treat me right For good love sake It was just a reverie A fool’s vaguery But it was time well spent Crazy, crazy situation Going through my mind Running in all directions Peace you never find Oh I don’t want to wait Let’s seal up our fate Butterflies in our heads Although just a fantasy You think it was wasted But it was time well spent Time well spent Time well spent

Just a Little Lie 02:58
lyrics

Just a Little Lie If I had not met you I would not know what I know You made me the woman that I am Now that I got you No matter where we go You know the way and I know where I stand So I guess it is true Love is blissfully blind Hope ours never goes away Whenever I feel blue And falling behind You make life feel good Cause you know what to say Sweet darling All I need to hear Just a little lie, just a little lie Just a little lie, a little lie A little lie to get by At the end of the day You’ve heard so many things Everybody’s got an agenda But I love every minute you pull at my heart’s strings Ever wondered how you get me every time? Sweet baby all you need to say is Just a little lie, just a little lie Just a little lie, a little lie A little lie to get by Don’t get out of your way With good old honesty It’s not working Just go on and tell me Lies about you and me Now we’re talking Just a little lie…

Get What You Want 03:36
lyrics

Get What You Want When I came out of the womb I was so eager Just wanted to be loved and to be held But now you can’t wrap me around your finger And all the other tricks that you’ve tried have failed Well I ’ll remember this all the way to my grave You only catch a glimpse and you have to be brave Life is marketplace Get outta my face Join the rat race Get what you want Life is a lot of bull But it’s all cool Cause we are all fools Don’t wait around Get what you want Get what you want Get what you want Is it my imagination, are you standing here Asking me to tighten my belt, to sacrifice And I guess out of the blue something will give But I see nothing but rain falling from the sky Telling me something new, Something I can use further down the road Telling me something new, Something I can use down the road Life is marketplace Get outta my face Join the rat race Get what you want Life is a lot of bull But it’s all cool Cause we are all fools Don’t wait around Get what you want Get what you want Get what you want Something’s amiss Have I lost my mind Can’t stop the wheel Oh the wheel of time Life is marketplace Get outta my face Join the rat race Get what you want Life is a lot of bull But it’s all cool Cause we are all fools Don’t wait around Get what you want Get what you want Get what you want

Walk On 03:26
lyrics

Walk On You stood alone like a bird in an open cage With wide eyes and a heart so clear Told everyone that when your ship comes in The only road is the one out of here What happened to your dreams did you let yourself down Is the fire still burning in you How do you feel, why can’t you just fly out Do you need something someone to hold on to? Walk on let them eyes roll It used to be so loud Now I hear but a trickle Your voice has died down Are you here at all Mistakes were made but they are of yesterday So don’t forget to hold your head high Because the dreams you dreamed will never go away They will never ever let you say goodbye Walk on let them eyes roll It used to be so loud Now I hear but a trickle And it's sad That your voice has died down Are you here at all Just can’t quite believe it You lost the spirit That guided you when You had them So let them eyes roll It used to be so loud Who cares Now I hear but a trickle And it's sad Cause your voice has died down Are you here at all Your voice has died down Don’t let it die out Just walk on

Turmoil 03:21
lyrics

Turmoil I grew up just a shadow Sending photos and a letter Think it’s time to let you know The purpose of my endeavor Like a rough September wind Or a snowfall in March The last frost in April Leaves a trace In my turmoil Sharp and glued to me Lies the memory of you With your war sword Your bitter words And your cold gaze So now you know what it’s about You played with my mind as I stood alone Narrow escape without a doubt To hell with our reunion Wanted to fly to away But I was nailed to the ground Gradually I was losing my mind In my turmoil Sharp and glued to me Lies the memory of you With your war sword Your bitter words In my turmoil Sharp and glued to me Lies the memory of you With your war sword Your bitter words And your cold gaze

The Sky is for Everyone 03:31
lyrics

The Sky is for Everyone As long as you're here you don't need to fear Keep a low profile, keep a low profile You don't need to be a celebrity With every detail of your life spread out And if it's happiness that you're looking for You're in the right place at the right time And no matter what you read, Who follows and who leads The sky is for everyone, the sky is for everyone ooh So don't be afraid cause you've got it made Let it all hang out, let it all hang out And whatever you do, let the child in you Be home alone and have the sweetest time Cause if you were not here it would not be the same It's a good thing you showed up Cause no matter what they say it's not just another day The sky is for everyone, the sky is for everyone Looking for something never leaves your mind All you do is chasing after clouds Let the smile on your face fill the entire space The sky is for everyone The sky is for everyone The sky is for everyone The sky is for everyone if it's happiness that you're looking for You're in the right place at the right time And no matter what you read Who follows and who leads The sky is for everyone...

Burning Bridges 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Burning Bridges Going through the motions I feel the end Living with the notion That truth will be found After all the chances handed out I know without a doubt Quiet slip aways or gone in a flash Well I think it is a matter of time And burning bridges is all I’ll see Rising up behind me From the ground to the sky Cause I knew what I knew then Never had a backup plan What will I find, what will I see? Burning bridges, burning bridges I am the kind of person Who never gives up I know the solution will come to me As my world is about to fall Hanging upside down I get so close to my goal I can touch it with my hands And burning bridges is all I’ll see Rising up behind me From the ground to the sky Cause I knew what I knew then Never had a backup plan What will I find, what will I see There’s no fail safe net to keep you dry We’re here to do it, here to do it, not just try Burning bridges is all I’ll see Rising up behind me From the ground to the sky Cause I knew what I knew then Never had a backup plan What will I find What will I see What will I see Burning bridges, burning bridges Burning bridges, burning bridges

Peace to All Beings 03:49
lyrics

Peace to All Beings I think of you This is how my day starts You remind me of myself I don’t know you But somehow I feel close If I did we would be friends I can’t wait I was looking at the time But it’s already too late I was asleep but now I am awake Not only for you not only for me But for every little one down here I won’t stand before your light I won’t take away your power Pretend to know your rights When I can’t find my own answers With my head in the clouds Gonna say it loud Cause I think it’s time For peace to all beings And when I dream It’s always about you I hold your hand and you can’t fall And how it seems we haven’t got a clue We don’t know where we go I can’t tell the beginning from the end It is strange to be alive Sometimes I don’t understand all this fight Not only for you not only for me But for every little one down here I won’t stand before your light I won’t take away your power Pretend to know your rights When I can’t find my own answers With my head in the clouds Gonna say it loud Cause I think it’s time For peace to all beings If I am a falling leaf You can walk over me I am free You, me Every little one down here I won’t stand before your light Never take away your power Pretend to know your rights When I can’t find my own answers With my head in the clouds Gonna say it loud Cause I think it’s time For peace to all beings So peace to all beings
