 Shadows Stories

Sunshine Child

I'm spinning around you in a coloured arc

scattered fragments of my meaning are lost without your arms

do you know your eyes light up the room when you walk beneath my sky

my heart knows no shadows when you light it with your eyes

 

careful where you run to my sunshine child

you're not indestructible, no no, my sunshine child

 

I'm watching you grow before my eyes, away from me

I have no choice but to watch you leave

Its time like this I realize

and I know, I know that it's time

 

so careful where you run to my sunshine child

you're not indestructible, no no, my sunshine child

can't watch you forever my sunshine child

I'm not your protector, anymore, anymore

 

I'm spinning around you in a coloured arc

it's sad to know that we've grown apart, and I'll miss you

 

be careful where you run to my sunshine child, careful now

you're not indestructible, no no, my sunshine child

can't watch you forever my sunshine child

I'm not your protector anymore, anymore

 

my sunshine child, mmmm, my sunshine child (repeat ad lib)

SHOULD I

I'm spinning around you in a coloured arc

scattered fragments of my meaning are lost without your arms

do you know your eyes light up the room when you walk beneath my sky

my heart knows no shadows when you light it with your eyes

 

careful where you run to my sunshine child

you're not indestructible, no no, my sunshine child

 

I'm watching you grow before my eyes, away from me

I have no choice but to watch you leave

Its time like this I realize

and I know, I know that it's time

 

so careful where you run to my sunshine child

you're not indestructible, no no, my sunshine child

can't watch you forever my sunshine child

I'm not your protector, anymore, anymore

 

I'm spinning around you in a coloured arc

it's sad to know that we've grown apart, and I'll miss you

 

be careful where you run to my sunshine child, careful now

you're not indestructible, no no, my sunshine child

can't watch you forever my sunshine child

I'm not your protector anymore, anymore

 

my sunshine child, mmmm, my sunshine child (repeat ad lib)

Just Like the Moon

Sittin here in my room and I don’t know what to do

Cuz’ tomorrow is gonna come, come too soon

I’m watchin’ that night sky and it reminds that I

Have a mystery inside just like the moon

 

Oh just like the moon I’m hidin’ away

Oh but I’ll come back again and again

 

I’m coming undone while I’m waiting for the sun

That I know is gonna rise, rise in the east

I’m ready to let go I’m scared but I’m not alone

and nothin’s in my way, except for me

 

Oh just like the moon I’m hidin’ away

Oh but I’ll come back again and again

 

Life’s emotions come and go ooh-woh-ooh-woh-ooh-woh-ooh-woh

Like the tides that ebb and flow ooh-woh-ooh-woh-ooh-woh-ooh-woh

 

Sittin here in my room and I know what to do

Cuz’ tomorrow can’t come, come too soon

I’m watchin’ that night sky as it turns into light

It fills me up inside  just like the moon

 

Oh just like the moon I’m hidin’ away

Oh but I’ll come back again and again

 

Sittin’ here in my room 

CHANGE YOUR MIND

Though the wind is sometimes kind

And friendly in the sunshine

Dark clouds come out to play

And sunshine melts away (mmmm)

 

Not so with you & I my love

So if you ever change your mind

I’ll wait with all the sunshine

I remember in your smile

 

The dreams that come our way some go and some will stay awhile

I’ll give you all the time you need to find your peace of mind

 

We’ve talked so many times and you’re always on my mind

The dreams that we let in, that’s the way its always been (always been)

The dreams that come our way some go and some will stay awhile (stay awhile)

I’ll give you all the time you need to find your peace of mind

If you ever (ever) ever (ever) ever change your mind

Ever (ever) ever (ever) change your mind

 

The eyes that feed your soul

Do you know they are your own

When you feel a little blue

That strength is inside you, inside you

 

The dreams that come our way

Some go and some will stay, baby stay (stay a while)

I’ll give you all the time you need to find your peace of mind

If you ever (ever) ever (ever) ever change your mind

Ever (ever) ever (ever) change your mind

Ever (ever) ever (ever) change your mind

Ever (ever) ever (ever) change your mind

If you ever change your mind

REBOUND

I’m hiding broken pieces of my heart within your name

I hope they will find shelter there ‘cuz all I feel is pain

I believe in new beginnings but I don’t know where to start

And my feet are glued to the pavement near to your heart

 

Strange man in a strange land

Paradise isn’t in this place in this place it isn’t in this place

Strange man in a strange land

it hasn’t happened here it hasn’t happened here

 

Circumstances cause you pain and you don’t know where to turn

You feel the rain touch your face and you hope it doesn’t burn

The enemy is coming for you who is gonna be your friend

I’ll lead you away from this place someday some day

 

Strange man in a strange land

Paradise isn’t in this place in this place it isn’t in this place

Strange man in a strange land

it hasn’t happened here it hasn’t happened here

 

Just around the corner not far from here

Take what I can offer chase that mountain of fear

I can give you nothing more

I can offer nothing more

It’s a take it or leave it kind of feeling leaves you wanting something more

 

 Strange man in a strange land

Paradise isn’t in this place in this place it isn’t in this place

Strange man in a strange land

it hasn’t happened here it hasn’t happened here

 

Rebound (strange man)

Rebound (strange land)

Rebound (paradise isn’t in this place)

Rebound

Rebound (strange man)

Rebound (strange land)

Rebound (it hasn’t happened here)

Rebound (it hasn’t happened here)

Trapeze Girl

Sprinklin’ down sprinklin’ down, my tears fall 

Like a spring rain feeds a waterfall

And so I run and so I run far away

And I wonder am I my only friend

 

I’m a Trapeze girl

Up and down round and back I go

I try to please you 

but you only love me when I’m flyin’ high

 

Way up above, up above the crowd noise

From far away they all look so small

The moms and dads, the hope and dreams

The girls and boys

Deep down I know they hope I’ll fall

 

I’m a Trapeze girl

Up and down round and back I go

I try to please you 

but you only love me when I’m flyin’ high

 

And so I run and so I run far away

And I wonder am I my only friend

 

I’m a Trapeze girl

Up and down round and back I go

I try to please you but you only love me when I’m flyin’ high

but you only love me when I’m flyin’ high

Midnight Serenade

Silence, don’t you bother me no more

I heard you when you knocked upon my door

I’m not letting you in

‘cause I know where you been, before

Lonely, I don’t wanna see your face

There’s parts of you I know I can’t erase

So go on and walk away

‘cause you don’t get to stay in this place

 

Midnight, serenade me

I know you want to save me, but baby, I’ve heard all that before

Midnight, serenade me

I know you want to save me, but baby, I don’t need you anymore

 

Midnight, you know you can’t be my man

Midnight, you just need to understand

So sing your serenade

but hear me when I say, walk away

 

Midnight, serenade me

I know you want to save me, but baby, I’ve heard all that before

Midnight, serenade me

I know you want to save me, but baby, I don’t need you anymore

 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Midnight, serenade me

I know you want to save me, but baby, I’ve heard all that before

Midnight, serenade me

I know you want to save me, but baby, I don’t need you anymore, no no

Baby, I don’t need you anymore, Baby, I don’t need you anymore

Baby, I don’t need you anymore

Bonus Track Lyrics. This version of  Change Your Mind was created by another producer in a different style and instrumentation than the earlier version (Track 4)

CHANGE YOUR MIND

Though the wind is sometimes kind

And friendly in the sunshine

Dark clouds come out to play

And sunshine melts away (mmmm)

 

Not so with you & I my love

So if you ever change your mind

I’ll wait with all the sunshine

I remember in your smile

 

The dreams that come our way some go and some will stay awhile

I’ll give you all the time you need to find your peace of mind

 

We’ve talked so many times and you’re always on my mind

The dreams that we let in, that’s the way its always been (always been)

The dreams that come our way some go and some will stay awhile (stay awhile)

I’ll give you all the time you need to find your peace of mind

If you ever (ever) ever (ever) ever change your mind

Ever (ever) ever (ever) change your mind
