I Need To Be Next To You

Been running from these feelings for so long,
Telling my heart I didn't need it,
Pretending I was better off alone.
But I know it was just a lie.

So afraid to take a chance again;
So afraid of what I feel inside.

But I need to be next to you. (Need to be next to you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to share every breath with you. (Share every breath with you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
oh I
I need to be next to you.
(need to be next to you)

Right here with you is right where I belong.
I lose my mind if I can't see you.
Without you there's nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for.
I can't bare the thought of you not there;
I can't fight what I feel anymore.

But I need to be next to you. (Need to be next to you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to share every breath with you. (Share every breath with you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
oh I
I need to be next to you.
(need to be next to you)

I need to have your love next to mine
For all time.
Hold you for all my life.
I need to be next to you.

But I need to be next to you. (Need to be next to you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to share every breath with you. (Share every breath with you.)
oh, I oh, I
I need to know I can see you smile each morning,
Look into your eyes each night,
For the rest of my life.
Here with you; here with you.
oh I
I need to be next to you.
(need to be next to you)

I need to feel you in my arms, baby!
oh, I oh, I (x2)
I need to be next to you.
oh, I oh I...

Kiss Me

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me
Out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.

So kiss me
So kiss me...

Melody Of You

You're a painting with symbols deep, symphony
Soft as it shifts from dark beneath
A poem that flows, caressing my skin
In all of these things you reside and I
Want you flow from the pen, bow and brush
With paper and string, and canvas tight
With ink in the air, to dust your light?
From morning to the black of night.

This is my call I belong to you
This is my call to sing the melodies of you
This is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else.

You're the scent of an unfound bloom
A simple tune
I only write variations to sooth the mood
A drink that will knock me down to the floor
A key that will unlock the door.

Where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
Then beckons me weave notes in between
A tap and a string, a bow and a glass
You pour me till the day has passed...

This is my call I belong to you
This is my call to sing the melodies of you
This is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else.

Us

I know we often feel the rub of love
that we don't always fit quite hand in glove
but we live inside of a mystery
and my heart often fails to contain

And I know that words are not enough
When I think of all the endless love
that you give to me in my time of need
Boy, it's high time these words were said
[Will sell]

Ask for my hand you know I'll give it
and if you're cold I give you warmth
and I don't care if it's unfair

'Cause I would sacrifice myself
Now that I know
the only thing that matters
Us, us, us, us...

It's hard to say what road we're travelling down
Sometimes it leads us to some awful towns
but we somehow keep, both our hands and feet
On the floorboard and the steering wheel

ask for my hand, you know I'll give it
and if you're cold I give you warmth
and I don't care if it's unfair

Ask for my hand you know I'll give it
and if you're cold I give you warmth
and I don't care if it's unfair

'Cause I would sacrifice myself
Now that I know
the only thing that matters
Us, us, us, us...

There was a time I lost my eyes
There was a day I wasted
too much of your golden light

Ask for my hand you know I'll give it
and if you're cold I give you warmth
and I don't care if it's unfair

'Cause I would sacrifice myself
Now that I know
the only thing that matters
You're the only thing that matters
You're the only thing that matters

Us
Us
Us
Us
Us
Us
Us....

Breathe Your Name

It's every day I'm in this place
I feel this way, I feel the same
it's every day I'm in this place
I feel this way, I feel the same.

is it all inside my head?
is it all inside my head?
I view the list and take my pick
I view my fate and make the choice
because it's nobody else's but mine.

but you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
when I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name.

so many days within this race
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the plot to find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
the part of you, that's part of me
will never die, will never leave
and it's nobody else's but mine.

you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name.

you'll view the list
and take your pick
you'll view my fate
and make the choice
because I'm nobody else's but yours.

and your in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name.

'cause you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name.

Don't Dream It's Over

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
while you're traveling with me.

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win.

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page.

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win.

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief.

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win.

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in...
