[No lyrics]

. . .


She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don‘t matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night, no one knows
She comes and go

Chorus:
Goodbye ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Still I'm gonna miss you..

Don't question why she needs to be so free
Oh, she'll tell you it's the only way to be yeah
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, at such a cost

(Chorus 2x)

Goodbye, goodbye

There's no time to loose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away, away

(Chorus)

Goodbye ruby Tuesday..

. . .


In all the games I've played
It seems the dice were always wrong
Never stood a chance, and I know
But I found a love so good
That I wanna hold it
It's something that I'll have to see through

Chorus:
Looking at you, looking at me
What a solid gold love, this could be
Something that I'll never know
Looking at you, looking at me
I see a bird of love, to set me free
We can make it, on our own

I came up the hard way
Just alive on one night stands
I was never looking for another kind
And I'll bet you one night
Ooh, when we were holding hands
I knew that I've found my peace of mind

[Chorus]

So don't let me wait too long
Cuz' I can't live another day without your love
I need to know baby...

[Chorus 2x]

. . .


Lady Jane
Will we ever meet again
The times we had
I count 'em day by day
All the pain
That we gave each other then
Was not enough to wanna make us run

Who did say this life will last forever
We're standing at the crossroad once again
All the things in life are
Growing slowly in progress
I know, we got to listen to the flow

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend

We walk this path, slowly step by step
We don't have to force it, just believe
There's a place deep inside
Where we've never been before
I know we can be there, you 'n me

Who did say this life will last forever
We're standing at the crossroad once again
All the things in life are
Fading slowly in progress
I know, we got to listen to the flow

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend
Let it rain, let it rain
'Cause I know we'll meet again
Freedom will be there in the end

Hope you find your paradise
I wish you all the best of times
Have faith in love and please don't cry

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend
Let it rain, let it rain
'Cause I know we'll meet again
Freedom will be there in the end

. . .


Another day before us
And we're ready for the show
Across the land of mystery
Everyone with their own dream
Sometimes harder than they seam

Here I am far away
Hundred miles and oceans from you
Feel the need to cry out loud
I want you to know

Oh, you're all I care for
Oh, you're all I care for
You're all I need

Soon I will be back again
I know, it's hard to love a kind of man
Always on the line
Always out of time
Just one thin I know for sure

Here I am far away
Hundred miles and oceans from you
Feel the need to cry out loud
I want you to know

Oh, you're all I care for
Oh, you're all I care for
Oh, you're all I care for
You're all I need

. . .


The road is long
with the many winding turns
That leads us to who knows where

But I'm strong.
Strong enough to carry him.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

So on we go.
His welfare is my concern.
No burden is his to bear.
We'll get there.

For I know
he would not encumber me.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all,
I'm laden with the sadness
that everyone's heart isn't filled
with the gladness of love for one another.

It's a long, long road
from which there is no return.
While we're on our way to there,
why not share?

And the load doesn't weigh me down at all.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

. . .


I've been waiting, all my life
For the sun to make it mine
Callin', callin, whispering your name
N' right now, you're on my trail

Falling, falling, wishing you near
But somehow, You slipped away
Like ice in the sun
Already gone

One life one soul
Forever I know
Follow me follow me
Wherever I go
One life one soul
Just waiting to flow
Follow me follow me
Don't let me go

I've been dreaming for too long
Chasing rainbows, on my own
Screamin' screamin'
You are the wind in my sail
In an ocean so wide

Over good times, Bad times
I'll be your own guiding light
Holding your hand
Eyes open wide
N' always beside

One life one soul
Forever I know
Follow me follow me
Wherever I go
One life one soul
Just waiting to flow
Follow me follow me
Don't let me go

. . .


Something's wrong, doctor please
Got a strange heart disease
And I desperately need to get over
This temptation

There she stands day by day
And my life turns away
It was love at the first sight
And I know this won't come easy

Couldn't move, I was petrified
Couldn't talk, when she passed me by
Now she's constantly part
In my thoughts, in my heart
Can't hold another day

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
It's all the same
Everytime I call your name

Certain things meant to last
Some others, part of the past
I know that I can't be wrong
Lovin' you

So gimme a chance, a little sign.... And I know
That one day you're mine
I want you to know no way I let go
Surrender to my love

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
It's all insane
Everytime you play that game

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
Its all the same

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
It's all insane
Everytime you play that game

. . .


First base, its me livin'
An empty life so wrong
Heading to nowhere
Drinking all night long

Then somebody told me
Man, you better stop
You're going down
You need something to believe

On the second, I was building
Castles in the air
Dreamed of a kingdom
I was never going to share

But it felt so empty
Something should've come my way
Now I know
And it's clear inside of me...

Chorus:
Here I stand again
I'm a gambler, I'm a man
It's my homerun, my homerun to you
Every life's a game
And there's no one you can blame
This is my homerun, my homerun to you

Third base saw me taking
All her pictures from the wall
When love surrendered
I fell as deep as i could fall

And the fourth back to my music
To free this troubled mind
I found something
After times of being blind

(Chorus)

I was searching, bleeding
Cried some tears of pain
I was yearning, screaming
An' all brought me back to you...

(Chorus)

. . .


You came into my life...boy
I didn't find the words to let you know
We were like strangers, heaven knows
With a many ways to go

But it's over now
Right before we started
It's all over now
It's weather blown away

No, you don't need to sacrifice
Nor hide the rising sun
Made a million, got it all
Father, is that enough?

Remember I was lonely
I was nowhere
Couln't stand the pain I wore
And yeah, I keep learning
Live is living
So much more than words can say
But it's over now
No gambling with my soul
It's all over now
I found my way to go

. . .


Hear I stand, and I dont know why
Why should I wait, when I'm ready to fly
I had that feeling, right from the start
That I've been shot, straight into my heart

But I can't stand to walk by myself
Down the rocky road of my life
This precious time is ticking away
An' I'll do anything if I can make you mine

Chorus:
You are the reason I live
When the sun goes down
We dive in the night, baby...
You are the reason I give
Give you all of my heart
Instead of my pride, instead of my pride

I see your face everywhere I go
I hear your voice in the wind that blows
Sometimes I wonder am I loosin' ground
But I know good lovin' is so hard to be found

But I can't stand to walk by myself
Down the rocky road of my life
This precious time is ticking away
An' I'll do anything if I can make you mine, baby...

(Chorus 3x)

. . .


What is life without a friend
It's a highway with no end
What's a child without a smile
Come and listen for a while

What is faith without believe
Or a maple with no leaves
A treasure island you can't find
A great picture when you're blind

Why are we never satisfied
Doin' all
Doin' all the things we do
Why are we standing in the rain
Can't you see
It is all for you and me

What's a house without a roof
And a good friend with no truth
What's a mother with no child
Or a father with no time

What is a priest who's telling lies
What's a guardian with no eyes
What is a man without a view
Take an oath wich is untrue

Why are we never satisfied
Doin' all
Doin' all the things we do
Why are we taking all this pain
Can't you see
It is all for you and me

Look at all those lonely people
I still wonder where they go
Look at all those fancy people
They all seem to really know
Something , we don't know

. . .


I need a woman, that holds on
That gives me time to think it over
Time for movin' on
That's all I want, right now, by me

I wanna meet a real heart, a true one
Too many words, too many lies
Bring confusion in my mind
I gotta break out
'Cause I can't stand it anymore, no more

More that I want, more that I need
More that I want, more that I bleed
Can anybody find me an

Angel, angel, I'm crying out for you tonight
Oh angel, are you there or in my mind
I want you to believe me, please take me there

Sometimes I dream, and wish to have
A little hand to carry me
Far away from what I see
If I only could have you, right now, by me

I wanna face a real world, a true one
Too many words, too many lies
Bring confusions in my mind
I gotta break out
'Cause I can't stand it anymore, no more

More that I want, more that I need
More that I want, more that I bleed
Can anybody find me an

Angel, angel, I'm crying out for you tonight
Oh angel, are you there or in my mind
I want you to believe me ... right now

Angel on my mind, oh
You're so hard to find

. . .


Heaven knows,
I've been trough many ups n' downs
Live has been no friend of mine,
I never got my crown

Suffocate my troubles
In an empty glass of wine
To realize I was a fool,
I thought she was all mine

Tried to make the best of it,
A little day by day
Had all of the best cards
N' gave them all away.

Took place in the front
Row of the rollercoaster ride.
Play it, do or die,
God knows I tried.

We believed it's gonna last forever
After all I know, this was just a lie

Out on my own, since you left me
Lord what a long, long time
Since you've been gone
Out on my own now, girl you hurt me
But it's all over now,
The heartache is gone.

Now I know every story
Has a message I can use
Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to loose

But we all run after
Something we will never find
A pair of blue eyes
Always makes us blind

We believed it's gonna last forever
After all I know, this was just a lie

Out on my own, since you left me
Lord what a long time
Since you've been gone
Out on my own, girl you hurt me
But it's all over now, you set me free
Na, na, na..

. . .


Move on closer, near by my side
let me take you for a while
did what I had to, but it's still a long way
hope you'll remember me
each n' every day

Out on this long trail
back on dusty roads, ridin' slow
through the darkest of the nights, alone

I'm on my way,
I'm on my way,
I'm on my way, and I'll be there one day
yeah, yeah

Another evening, I'm still in bed
wheels are turning round n' round
dancing with shadows,
talking in the sleep
while the miles are passing away

lights in the window
lights in my head, riding slow
on the highway once again

I'm on my way,
I'm on my way,
I'm on my way, I got one place to stay

The place is getting empty
roadies take the stage
the first to come, the last to go
still wanna sing, still wanna play
before I leave it all behind
move on closer, near by my side
let me take you for a while ....
did what I had to, but it's still a long way
hope you'll remember me
each n' every day

. . .


You can go to the east, go to the west
There are so many ways to find happiness
There is so much to take, so much to give
So many trails and so many tricks

And you're gonna be wrong, you're gonna be right
Someday you'll be down some you'll be up
But whatever you do whatever you say
There's only one thing that can show you the way

Love, a soul matter
Our heaven on earth

You can live without clothes on top of a hill
Don't care about money and do what you will
Or live in a castle, diamonds and gold
You still won't be happy if you can't find love

We all have our dreams that we keep in our hearts
Some may come true and some may fall apart
Sunshine and rain, that's what it's all about
Live as you like but don't live without

Love, a soul matter
Our heaven on earth
Love, forever
Wherever you go

Look to the east, Look to the west
Look all around to find happiness
Brothers and sisters, all over the world
Let's get together, let it be love

Love, a soul matter
Our heaven on earth
Love, forever
Wherever you go [2x]

. . .


Hot life, under the sun
I'm thinking back on what I've done
In those days
The whole world was mine

Ain't a lie, it's a shame
Now the man in the mirror
Lost his name
I'm looking at a stranger

I was innocent and free
That was my reality
Like a child that doesn't care
'Bout all the ones who stare
Being what he wants to be

If I could
Turn back the time
I'd be the first of the line
To live it, to love it, and do it again

Quite sure, i did some mistakes
I had to learn the hard way
What it takes
To control the fire

I lived my life like a hurricane
Getting more n' more insane
A tough spot
Like climbing a razor

I was innocent and free
That was my reality
Like a child that doesn't care
Bout all the ones who stare
Being what he wants to be

If I could
Turn back the time
I'd be the first of the line
To live it, to love it, and do it again
So it's in this mind
Who's in need to rewind
But never say never
N' play on the game

Play on the game
Run, run, baby run

Oh oh oh
