Charade 03:31
lyrics
Is this a phase or a way of life Are you afraid that the lightning won't strike twice A masquerade of the hardest mind Give it away. If you don't you're up all night But who are you blaming Babe just hold me Wrap me in your arms and I'll say I love you Stay till you know me Have me in your heart, I could be enough for you Its funny how you never had to try So what you feel you need ain't hard to find But we're all fuelled by the strangest of lies Find what works and do what we must to survive But you keep dancing with wolves Like you've got something to prove That cheap hands over you Is the same as honest affection For your imperfection Everything I have for you Babe just hold me Wrap me in your arms and I'll say I love you Stay till you know me Have me in your heart, I could be enough for you

Take The Lead 04:16
lyrics
My day is whether I see you If I don't then I need to In photographs see me leaning Close to all that I'm dreaming And I would make up the numbers Fill parties with strangers A silent phone and I free fall Affirmation I need you more But if the only other option's telling you Then I'll take the lead And hope in the days to come you'll follow me Oh I'll take the lead And pray to my God above that you'll never leave Drawn by invisible forces My heart moves to where yours is I turn to you and it feels right Like a leaf towards sunlight Still when I'm with you I'm searching Cause I can't find the wording Speak till there's no aim or purpose Cause you're making me nervous But if the only other options telling you Then I'll take the lead And hope in the days to come you'll follow me Oh I'll take the lead And pray to my God above that you'll never leave Just look at the stars It's easy from afar To believe that we weren't meant to reach Some things, they're too beautiful And when I see you I feel too weak But even if it hurts I'm trying I could be the one you need I'd rather fail than never know you So watch me take the lead My day is whether I see you If I don't then I need to In photographs see me leaning Close to all that I'm dreaming Still when I'm with you I'm searching Cause I can't find the wording A silent phone and I free fall Affirmation I need you more But the only other option's telling you

Perfect 04:34
lyrics
You're talking to me This ought to be perfect A chance you will see That I could be worth it So here I am on a crowded stage Uncertain of the lines to see But give me just a minute And I'll take your breath away We're stood at the bar And you look amazing I'd say that you are But my is heart racing So you're beyond the stars and seas Even when you're here beside me 'Cause my mind malfunctions And I say things imperfectly So before I ruin this Tell me every heart you've broken Tell me how you live each day Tell me all things that make you sad And what about you would you change? So talk of your friends And all of your family The battles you've fought And all that you've dared to dream Cause I'm afraid if silence falls With both of us too nervous to be speak I won't solve this equation To spark conversation between Please don't let me ruin this Tell me every heart you've broken Tell me how you live each day Tell me all the things that make you sad And what about you would you change? Tell me what you've left behind you Help me understand your pain Tell me all the things that warm your heart And tell me could I do the same? I know that it's only a moment But could be the first of yours and mine I want to know all about you If it takes me more than the rest of my life Maybe what we find will be perfect And we'll stand as kingdoms fall and rise Although I hope for eternity A beginning's all I want tonight Tell me every heart you've broken Tell me how you live each day Tell me all the things that make you sad And what about you would you change? Tell me what you've left behind you Help me understand your pain Tell me all the things that warm your heart And tell me could I do the same?

Love In Chains 04:41
lyrics
They say it's written in the stars above If you can read the signs The way you live and who you love All written in the skies But sometimes fate will seem so cruel To snatch things from your grasp Or smother them in painful truths Yet all will come to pass... El amor es azul y qual cascada De insortijadas aguas Vuelca sulinfa en el Abismo oscuro Invade el corazon Refresca el alma Refresca el alma That's why we're fighting to save This love in chains They say it's written by the hand of fate But not for man to know The choices and decisions made Before you find the road Your life will seem a mystery Of nonsense hopes and fears But when the truth shall come to be The answers will be clear Now hiding from the watchful eye Of those with cruel intent Our love burns on though well disguised: Our living sacrament Behind closed dors with windows barred We love and softly dream That though our hearts be bruised and scarred This love will soon break free... El amor es azul y qual cascada De insortijadas aguas Vuelca sulinfa en el Abismo oscuro Invade el corazon Refresca el alma Refresca el alma That's why we're fighting to save This love in chains Like Romeo and Juliet Our very love a crime In hiding patiently we wait And planning out the time So much to hope and plan ahead So many dreams to find Our lives it seems will never end But love no more must hide

Dear Esther 03:30
lyrics
Before me Only silence Save the crashing of the waves Behind me Only echoes In the distance of your face While waves crash on the shore In words alone and nothing more I write your elegy... Dear Esther can you hear me In the place where you have gone? We left Damascus far behind And now the waves are calling me, calling me To set me free, returning to your side Beyond us To infinity Just an echo on the sea Behind us Only darkness Where we trod deserted shores My wings will lead me home Upon the wind - the time will come To join you once again Dear Esther can you hear me In the place where you have gone? A million miles from anywhere And a million years from home When the sound of the waves and the rolling thunder Has faded into silence We'll be together on this island Though our bodies turn to dust... And light as a feather we will float upon the breeze Drifting through silence and darkness As the centuries pass by Dear Esther there will come a time Dear Esther can you hear me? Dear Esther I will never let you from my side again
