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
