Ghostlight

I Believe

Will we pull through?

Will we be winning?

When the call to glory starts playing

I say together we can move a mountain

Into the darkness and back again

I believe we should get together

I believe we can rise above

 

We cut out a future, cut off a past

Capture a moment, hope to make it last

If you should stumble, I won't let you fall

Wherever your going, wherever you are

 

I got a message I'm trying to get through

Something so simple, something so true

If we get together, we'll be rising

When the call to glory starts playing

 

Take My Hands

Last summer's sadness past

I'm alive at long last

I swagger, stammer, strut

Out into the night

With a clear dream

Take my hands I want you

 

You sit by your TV

I think it makes you blue

Don't sit with your sad song

Come on change the tune

If you're not tanking chances

Then you'll never know

Take my hands I want you

 

Don't be confused

Don't shut me out

I'll show you something new

Just listen to your heart girl

You'll hear mine there too

Take my hands I want you

 

Loves Uunderground

All night intensity

All night long

Lonely, so lonely

But never alone

Strange ends come together

Love's underground

 

Between the first kiss and the dear john

I held her hand

Between a clean sheet and a cold slap

I made a plan

In the half-light

I wished out loud

Diving deep in love's underground

 

It was hard before

Now it's harder still

There is a stranger

Just a little bit kills

She might approach you

Do you one down

But I make out okay

In love's underground

 

Slow Fuse

This is my lonely room

With peeling paper on the walls

Hot summer night of dreams

TV shows till dawn

Wound up so tight

 

Stayed up all night for a change

Like last night and the one before

Remembering your name

Like a phantom by the back door

 

Wound up so tight

Like a restless boy on a slow fuse

 

Cool early morning rain

Rattled bones and all

I dream on after dawn

But keep a watchful eye

 

Wound up so tight

Like a restless boy on a slow fuse

I burn in the evening when the day is through

 

Love Comes Slowly

I've been out looking for so long

Been out of my mind for so long

I've been out in strange places

Taking the heat

Love comes slowly

Love echoes still

 

Now the time is right

After so much darkness

I'm beginning to see the light

Picking up pieces

Threads of the mystery

Love comes slowly

Love echoes still

 

A river flows

Love washes over me

Deep and slow

I go down

 

I search for the real thing

I look into your eyes

Players are pretenders

This is to survive

A tender touch can change so much

Love comes slowly

Love echoes still

 

Love will right this wrong, slowly

 

Seconds Away

I might hear your voice in a crowded room

And I know love is just a second away

Every time you call

Heaven's just a second away

A second to paradise

 

Big city's got the shining lights

But that don't mean a thing to me tonight

I've traveled some miles to be yours

Big city's got the shining lights

Heaven's here and its a second away

 

Brought together in the darkness

A little shaky at the start

Like a slow train coming

Straight from your heart

Need those arms around me

Heaven's just a second away

A second to paradise

 

Every time it's something new

To wild to be contained it's true

Seconds away, one move closer

Seconds away, I heard a whisper

All Hell's the price to pay

And I'd gladly pay

Pay to know that love is just a second away

 

Out of Breath

One day all friends are gone

Out of town or out of breath

I need a shot to soothe my soul

The phone's disconnected or they're just not home

 

Tonight's the night

Found out too late

Out of time

Out of breath

In a lonely place

 

What will I risk tonight

Face the music, pay the price

I'd like to taste and to touch her

All I need is an alibis

 

The music plays loud

Everyone's waiting

Word gets around

Out on the street again

 

I could imagine trough storms and heat all mine

Someone calling my name

I answer back, but not in time

 

Tonight's the night

Found out too late

Out of time

Out of breath

In a lonely place

 

Burn For Me

Living out of my lonely suitcase

I burn a flame for you

Days pass without a wonder

Things I don't recognize

 

Burn a flame, my heat fuels your heat

Burn a flame, a flame guarantees

Burn for me

 

I still see the way you look

So excited and so spent

If we could break the distance

And keep the flame of innocence

Burn a flame

 

Like hands across some great distance

I reach to you

To forget the wasted time

To end where I began

 

Burn a flame, my heat fuels your heat

Burn a flame, a flame guarantees

Burn for me

 

With a Promise

With a promise and Philadelphia soul

He slipped into town while lights were low

Soul radio

 

He was on the road to shout across the nation

He shook soul U.S.A. with dancing hip action

Soul radio

 

He cuts the groove

Makes the mark

Works it out now

Puts it on the line

 

He's got us moving now

A soul star and he shines

 

With a promise and Philadelphia soul

He came on like a dream

He worked us over good

Soul radio

 

Now we're moving, fifty thousand strong

Alive with the feeling that's been gone so long

 

Ashes of Love

All those sparks

All that love

Blue light electricity

Black out and gone

Come to a place

I thought was love

But it was vacant

Already spent

 

Cold as the ashes

Ashes of love

The touch and spark

Now it is gone

 

The time weighs heavy

Slice of my life

Words hang in the air

Like a cut with a knife

Super heated passion

How could it last

Short circuit lover

Burnt out too fast

 

Deep in the night

I search 'till I find you

Search through the past to find something new

 

Something I've never scene

Something from a dream

 

Don't Look Back

Late night phone calls

Sometimes hurting 'till dawn

If we could we'd go back

And switch it all around

Crying over coffee

Staring cold and blue

Thinking back to last night

Left without a clue

 

Get ready baby, forget your past

It's up to you, don't look back

 

One night dreams in cheap hotels

Been chasing luck around

But that lady doesn't show

For last nights one night stand

Burnt out ends of smokey days

And one more night's past by

Give those regrets a rest

And let your spirit fly

 

Footprints always before you

Always steps behind

There's a thousand little moments

Time to make a stand

 

Till Tears Go By

Say that plans were uncertain

And you know plans change

I would have been there

But plans got in the way

 

I may be mistaken but I heard her cry

A little time to hold her

Till tears go by

 

You know I'd like to stay

But I'm on a different path from you

You know I want your love

But its time to move

 

Love's a strange number

Quite a number of things

A strange trick to play pA strange tune today

A magic carpet thing That plays out on my (these) strings

 

I may be mistaken but I heard her cry

A little time to hold her

Till tears go by

On my way

On my own

All night long

All alone

On my way

On the move

Tme to run

 

In Heaven's Light

I see this world through strange eyes

Eyes not my own

With a shift of focus

A search from within

The world is a wasteland

That burns between extremes

Nothing is for certain

A constant shifting scene

Open your eyes tonight

In heaven's light, tonight

You can see everything, alright

In heaven's light, tonight

 

Grace is found on no map

It's just out of view

Always in the distance

Always on the move

Some of us are rising

Others falling fast

Some things are out of focus (Some things are getting better)

And some things just can't last

Open your eyes tonight

In heaven's light, tonight

I'll show you everything, alright

In heaven's light, tonight

 

From the center of the silent

Where the heading's done

Where it all begins

Two move towards one

Open your eyes tonight

In heaven's light, tonight

I'll give you everything, alright

In heaven's light, tonight
