Lyrics:


1. Sometimes

Now that we've been around,
round the bend and around the table and
now that we know the words,
fill my cup with the finest of wine.

Wind will blow, I never thought it out
The sun can shine, I never thought it out.
For all those years,
I forgot about a lot of things

.Now that we've been around,
round the bend and around the table and
now that we know the words,
fill my cup with the finest of wine.

Time would pass, I drove a little faster
Changing world, I changed along with it
But deep inside I was searching for the other half

.And I know that sometimes everything works,
everyone knows what to do.
And then we get along,
almost like nothing has happened.

Now that we've been around,
round the bend and around the table and
now that we know the words,
fill my cup with the finest of wine.

You went south, I went the other way
To find my peace, I wasn't sure that I could
Say the words, words to make me want to turn around again.
And I know that sometimes.......................

Now that we've been around,
round the bend and around the table and
now that we know the words,
fill my cup with the finest of wine.We lived apart, there isn't any other
Reason why we never said goodbye
A growing heart
Is always searching for the other halfAnd I know that sometimes everything works,
everyone knows what to do.
And then we get along, almost like nothing
has happened.

2. Moanin

Every morning find me moanin
Cos of all the trouble I see.
Life's a losing gamble to me
Every morning find me moanin.
Every evening find me moanin
Cos I'm tired of crying the blues
And I'm sick of paying my dues
Cares and woes have got me moanin. And I spend many days and nights
alone with my grief.
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come to comfort me.Every morning find me moanin
Cos of all the trouble I see.
Life's a losing gamble to me
Every morning find me moanin.

3. You're Miles Away

You're miles away and I want to talk to you.
You're miles away and there's
So many things I want to share.
You're miles away I want to
Reach out and touch you.
You're miles away.Just a memory is all I have to go on.
Just a memory is all I have to keep you alive.
And this sweet memory
makes my longing feel worth it.
You're miles away.I want to reach out and relive the vibe
That makes me feel good
Whenever you are beside me
Want to reach out
And know that you are there.But you're miles away and I want to talk to you.
You're miles away and there's
So many things I want to share.
You're miles away I want to
Reach out and touch you.
You're miles away.

4. Wasting Time

First thought I had when I met you
Was baby we could be a family.
But I'm going to try and forget you
Cos you're not free to be with me.Unrequited love, doing nothing for me
Such inviting love
I'm gonna find someone to set me free.
The right man comes at the wrong time
The wrong men come so easily.
You are the right man who got no time
You ain't got no time for me.
Unrequited love, doing nothing for me
Such inviting love
I'm gonna find someone to set me free.
And stop wasting time in the wrong situation
Wasting time getting nothing back at all.
Wasting time in the wrong situation.
Gotta stop wasting my time
I'm getting nothing back at all.Unrequited love, doing nothing for me
Such inviting love
I'm gonna find someone to set me free.
The right man comes at the wrong time
The wrong men come so easily.
You are the right man who got no time
You ain't got no time for me.
Unrequited love, doing nothing for me
Such inviting love
I'm gonna find someone to set me free.
And stop wasting time in the wrong situation
Wasting time getting nothing back at all.
Wasting time in the wrong situation.
Gotta stop wasting my time
I'm getting nothing back at all.

5. Time Will Tell

This can't go on, this lovely feeling, can't go on.
This can't go on, this lovely feeling, can't go on.
There's something wrong,
This lovely feeling has got to change
It's been around too long it's strangeHow it has stayed a lovely feeling,
How it has stayed.
How it has stayed a lovely feeling,
How it has stayed.
And so I pray this lovely feeling won't go away.Cos I've been fooled in the past
That something's going to last
But when I turn around it has gone.
Time will tell, I know that so well
Hearing fate sing her bittersweet song.So what's the tune I'll be humming,
What's the tune.
So what's the tune I'll be humming,
What's the tune.
Will I know soon,
Cos this lovely feeling feels good to me.Cos I've been fooled in the past
That something's going to last
But when I turn around it has gone.
Time will tell, I know that so well
Hearing fate sing her bittersweet song.So what's the tune I'll be humming,
What's the tune.
So what's the tune I'll be humming,
What's the tune.
Will I know soon,
Cos this lovely feeling feels good to me.

6. A Lot Like Him

And with a smile she came around the corner
and said so quietly that
It was a while since she had laid her eyes on him.
But she was sure and told me certainly that
I should look and see and so I turned around,
It was a lot like him. And with a smile he walked right over to me,
He walked right over to me
Then passed me by and headed for another girl.
I turned around and saw him talking,
Laughing and holding both her hands and
I could agree it was a lot like himAnd oh my heart was beating,
I didn't know where I should look.
This unexpected meeting really
Knocked my feet from under me.
And oh, my mind was reeling,
Felt quite dizzy from this big surprise
To find the man I dreamed of standing
Right before my eyes.
It was a lot like him.

7. I Scare Myself

I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you.
I scare myself the moment that you're gone
I scare myself when I let my thoughts run.
And when they're running, I keep thinking of you.
And when they're running, what can I do.I scare myself and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself and it can get frightening.
I scare myself to think what I could do
I scare myself, it's some kind of voodoo.
And with that voodoo, I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo what can I do.But it's oh so so so different when we're together
And I'm oh so so much calmer I feel better.
For the stars across the sky shine forever.
And the sooner that you realise I'll feel better.
It's me I'm scared of.Then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself.
And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself.
And my thoughts won't run and I won't scare myself.
It's me I'm scared of.

8. Crying Out

I'm crying out to sing to you,
Crying out to bring to you, my love, my love.
It's only been a week or two since I was making love to you, my love, my love.
Sometimes I'm feeling lonely
Sometimes I get a little blue
I know that I want you only
That's why I'm singing this sweet song to you.
Can't get used to being without you
Can't get used to being without you my love.Exactly like a dream come true
This feeling that I got for you, my love, my love.
I can't keep up this mystery
It's getting easier to see my love, my love.
Sometimes I'm feeling lonely
Sometimes I get a little blue
I know that I want you only
That's why I'm singing my sweet love to you.
Can't get used to being without you
Can't get used to being without you my love.Sometimes I'm feeling lonely
Sometimes I get a little blue
I know that I want you only
That's why I'm singing my sweet love to you.
Can't get used to being without you
Can't get used to being without you my love.
Can't get used to being without you
Can't get used to being without you my love.

9. Lighthouse Man

Misty lights through the sky
Warning to those passing by.
Don't come too close, just keep your distance
I can't let you near, I can't let you near.Mystery it may seem
Being led by foolish dreams.
Don't come too close, just keep your distance
I can't let you near, I can't let you near.Lighthouse man don't you see
Light attracts the crowds.
Drawn in by the challenge of an empty shell.
Warning lights don't work so well.
Are they telling what they're supposed to tell.Why do I always stay
When lighthouse man you always say.
Don't come too close, just keep your distance
I can't let you near, I can't let you near.Lighthouse man don't you see
Light attracts the crowds.
Drawn in by the challenge of an empty shell.
Warning lights don't work so well.
Are they telling what they're supposed to tell.Why do I always stay
When lighthouse man you always say.
Don't come too close, just keep your distance
I can't let you near.

10. I'm Old Fashioned

I'm old fashioned, I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things.
The sound of rain upon my window pain
The story song that April sings.
Cos this years fancies are passing fancies
Sighing sighs, holding hands
These my heart understands.
I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree to stay
old fashioned with me.

11. Tenderly

FallingTrembling so you'd never notice
When unexpectedly you touch my skin.
I guess I'm tenderly falling, tenderly falling,
Tenderly falling in love with you.
There's something different behind your eyes.
A look that's uncommon for me to see.
I guess I'm tenderly falling, tenderly falling,
Tenderly falling in love with you.
Feeling this way before
You're a stranger yet you're familiar.
What's going on here, cos it feels so good.
I seem to fly through the everyday things
Knowing I might even see you again
And when I do,
everything's building up inside me.
Confusion of how to be with you.
Where do I look and what do I say.
I guess I'm tenderly falling, tenderly falling
Tenderly falling in love with you.Feeling this way before
You're a stranger yet you're familiar.
What's going on here, cos it feels so good.
I seem to fly through the everyday things
Knowing I might even see you again
And when I do, everything's building up inside me.Confusion of how to be with you.
Where do I look and what do I say.
I guess I'm tenderly falling, tenderly falling
Tenderly falling in love with you.

12. Don't You Feel My Leg

Don't you feel my leg, don't you feel my leg
Cos if you feel my leg you're gonna feel my thigh.
And if you feel my thigh, you're gonna go up high.
So don't you feel my leg.Don't you buy no rye, don't you buy no rye
Cos if you buy me rye, you're gonna make me high.
And if you make me high, you'll get a big surprise
So don't you buy no rye.You said you'd take me dancing, buy me gin and wine.
Well I know different,
you've got something else on your mind.
You said we'd ball, and have a lovely time
But what I got, is mine all mine.Don't you feel my leg, don't you feel my leg
Cos if you feel my leg you're gonna feel my thigh.
And if you feel my thigh, you're gonna go up high. So don't you feel my leg.
