The long shot

What can I see?

When my heart did not see better

What can I do?

When it's all been done before



And all the bad news station

It's frozen on my face

Jealousy has taken over me

And bitterness is all that I taste



And they say revenge is so sweet

I want revenge of my own

If anyone, If anyone knows the pain I feel in my heart

Please come with me, I'm falling apart

If anyone, If anyone finds the ways deep in your soul

Lend it to me I'm losing control



This is the last time I turn my back

I swear I won't do it again until the day I die

I, in my conscience, miss the words of love

How can I feel it if there's emptiness inside



What can I say?

When I can't remember nothing

And where do I go?

When the world's gone away



And they say revenge is so sweet

I want revenge of my own

If anyone, If anyone knows the pain I feel in my heart

Please come with me, I'm falling apart

If anyone, If anyone finds the ways deep in your soul

Lend it to me I'm losing control



And I'll never get out of my mind, watching her walk away

When I was trying to speak with the language of the heart

I'll remember forever the way you had me crying

Though I swear someday, I'm gonna be over your kind



If anyone, If anyone knows the pain I feel in my heart

Please come with me, I'm falling apart, I'm falling

If anyone, If anyone finds the ways deep in your soul

Lend it to me I'm losing control



If anyone

If anyone

Everywhere I look I see your face

Every place I turn I'm standing into your eyes

And I realize, how I want you by my side

How much it would mean inside

How much it would mean inside



If it broke into you late at night

You can let it grow and watch it shining on bright

You can't control, what is hiding in your soul

Everytime it's much too hard to find



Some message, we never learn

Some music, they never heard

Somebody, somebody overlooked one thing

That the man could sing



When a man who's starving sees a friend

Standing at the crossroads and there's no easy way

It's a simple twist of faith



Some message, we never learn

Some music, they never heard

Somebody, somebody overlooked one thing

That the man could sing



No chance, no time

Poor Richard standing by the water line

No chance, no time

Poor Richard standing by the water line

So smart, so dumb

I guess you gotta go when your time comes



Some message, we never learn

Some music, they never heard

Somebody, somebody overlooked one thing

That the man could sing



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The man can sing

Somebody, somebody overlooked one thing

That the man could sing

Sing a song, yeah, yeah, yeah

What's it gonna be? Is it him or me? Have you thought it over well?

What's it gonna take? For the spell to break? Maybe only time will tell

Anybody else would be satisfied if they knew how far I fell



Who knows what love is all about

But I need it like a crutch

Who knows what love is all about

I can't live without your touch

And if my soul could only say

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go



Could it be tonight that I make you dance with my music and my smile?

Won't you be the light? Shining down on me, if only for a little while

When you look around I could see your face like a friend long overdue

Everything I want is a testament to how I wanna be with you

Ask anybody



Who knows what love is all about

But I need it like a crutch

Who knows what love is all about

I can't live without your touch

And if my soul could only say

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go



How can I explain? I'm a lonely man, like a lock without a key

Show me to the door because I need you more, feels like an eternity

Oh, if I had a wish or a magic kiss that could make you understand

I'm coming undone, let me be the one, let me take you by the hand

Tell everybody



I know what love is all about

And it fits me like a glove

I know what love is all about

I can never get enough

And if my soul could only say

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Don't ever let go

Look around you

There's a world full of pain

Don't you know you can

Turn away and get it up and

Start it all again



Oh, what a sad sad picture

Who can tell the future? I don't know

But give us one more chance

Let us find an answer

In any direction, in any direction



It's just a matter of time

- But time is running out

It's just a matter of time

- There ain't no doubt about it

It's just a matter of time

- People standing in line

It's just a matter of time

- Oh, now I made up my mind



I want to know

What I can do about it, yeah

And is one man, willing to go

Against a crowd of people

But trouble started up, long before the radio (radio, radio, radio)

Radio began to hit the times, and keep the times

And give the times to us, yeah, yeah

In every direction of our lives



It's just a matter of time

- But time is running out

It's just a matter of time

- There ain't no doubt about it

It's just a matter of time

- People standing in line

It's just a matter of time

- Oh, now I made up my mind



I'm not afraid to take the hand of a stranger

I'm not disguised as a party of angels

But something just occured to me, music is the remedy yeah, yeah, yeah

It covers all the range and music is a language

In every direction yeah



It's just a matter of time

- Yeah, Yeah, there ain't no doubt about it

It's just a matter of time

- Oh, oh, People standing in line

It's just a matter of time

It's just a matter of time

- It's just a matter of time

Twenty-first of August

Back in eighteen-seventy-nine

Two hours in the evening

Something happened, something divine



Out of nowhere

A window to another world

Out of nowhere

Came all the way to shine a light



One step into the fusion

Blinded by the trick of this all

Power is believing

But could it be the coat of Saint John



Out of nowhere

A window to another world

Out of nowhere

Came our way to shine a light

All over the world



Let the bells ring

Let the bells ring

Let all the children sing

Anybody can see

I'm not what I used to be

This man is for real

I know a change is coming over me



Every lesson I've learned

I learned it the hard way

All the pages I've turned

Now I finally take it day by day



Oh, I wasn't looking at reality

Cause it always made me cry

Why's it supposed to take so long to be a success for me



As I get older and no wiser

It's still a mystery to me

But was it real or daydreams like they said

It's still a mystery to me

So while the questions just fell upon my eyes

But before I could see

That all the answers were locked up inside

It's still a mystery to me

Oh still a mystery to me



When I was a younger man

A man like a ... man

I flew like a bird across the sky



But the spot where the rainbow's at

Took me right back to where I started

No I never thought to look inside



No and it doesn't really matter much

If the sun just fades away

Because we never get to win it over



If only only knew what I have found along the way

I could change the world before this round could give away



As I get older and no wiser

It's still a mystery to me

But was it real or daydreams like they said

It's still a mystery to me

So while the questions just fell upon my eyes

But before I could see

That all the answers were locked up inside

It's still a mystery to me

Oh still a mystery to me



It's a mystery

Still a mystery to me

It's a mystery

Still a mystery to me

Oh still a mystery to me

I turned the lights out when you said, yeah

It's clear that nothing changes for dead, yeah

You said how much you needed me

But the words are empty without you, what can I do?

Communication's breaking down



I don't know how much more I can take

Someday you might find out it was your mistake

But somehow I wind up kissing your door

Baby I'm not falling for a ...

Don't let temptation bring you down



If you gave me half a chance

What is on my mind

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now

If you gave me half a chance

That my heart was true

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now

If you gave me half a chance

If you gave me half a chance

If you gave me half a chance



They say that everybody can change, yeah

But as I grow up I find that it's very strange

Too many strangers staying the same

When daily changes are the rule of the game



If you gave me half a chance

What is on my mind

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now

If you gave me half a chance

That my heart was true

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now



If you gave me half a chance

What is on my mind

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now

If you gave me half a chance

That my heart was true

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now



If you gave me half a chance

What is on my mind

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now

If you gave me half a chance

That my heart was true

I could tell you a story

Have us singing all together now

Winters come and winters go

But someone tells you where to go

The weight of the world is on your shoulders



The walk's deep in a father's footsteps

Questions is an old reflex

My only hope is your protection

It's an old reflection



I keep thinking over and over again

Is it me, that I see?



Winter comes and winter goes

His young life, more than he knows, is short

By the strength of another one's arms



My faith is

Someday you'll be the one who will share

You'll be the one with only a moment to spare

Will you share?



I keep thinking over and over again

Is it me, that I see?



I keep thinking over and over again

Is it me, that I see?



It seems things find their own way

It all works out

And some nights, when I'm long gone

The rain will find its way through the roof

An awakening
