Sirens
Outside
Wake me
At night
I will
Not stop
Until
This works
Move on
With your life
It’s over
My dear
Move on
With your life
It’s over
This time
Time will
Mend this
Broken
Cracked heart
Stand Tall
And keep
Your head
Held high
Friends will be
There when we
Feel the blue
And the new
You 'n me, together forever
Through bright and stormy weather
I’m your king you are my queen
You 'n me, together forever
Our love in the center
In perfect harmony
Central Park
Summer in the city
She caught my eye
As though the bricks had hit me
She took to me and all will be
So beautiful in every single way
Hazel eyes
Short skirt drinks the party
Chic with class
So sassy kind of artsy
She said take me out, it hurts to wait
True love is life and this we can’t forget
And then I was
Caught between two worlds
Do I choose a life with her?
Or decide to be with you?
You 'n me, together forever
Through bright and stormy weather
I’m your king you are my queen
You 'n me, together forever
Our love in the center
In perfect harmony
At the bar
Drinking dry martinis
Walls of glass
All shattered down upon me
I’m into you, the scars to prove
What’s left to lose is going home with you.
In the bed
A scene from an old movie
Held her close
And kissed her forehead softly
What’s good for us is hard to fake
A hand that heals the heart will never break
Come with me tonight
Leave that life behind
Love is waiting at the finish line
Where the east and west winds collide
At the finish line
Felt like a black rain cloud was floating over your head
That mad man put you in a bad predicament
In a home
You called your own
He fed you lies
And made you cry
Come with me tonight
Leave that life behind
Love is waiting at the finish line
Where the east and west winds collide
At the finish line
Since the first time that you came into my life
Been like a warm blanket on those cold and lonely nights
You’re a catch of a lifetime, so real on every level
I can’t stand to see another beautiful girl get desperate and settle
For a man that treats her bad
We all deserve to feel good
In all that we do and all that we should
So let’s live like today is our last
And say goodbye to the mistakes in our the past
Come with me tonight
Leave that life behind
Love is waiting at the finish line
Where the east and west winds collide
At the finish line
She rubbed her feet together again and again
And whispered good morning fuzzies my old friends.
I said look my dear this glistening sunrise is astounding,
And I’ve been awake reminiscing
Don’t lose sight
Of the bright, bright beacon light,
Guiding our time together
Your love, will stay in my heart forever.
Let’s record this day in our minds before it’s too late
So we’ll have these memories when we’re seventy-eight
Shoot a photo of that lovely smile on your beautiful face
And store it in my mind in a place
Where it’ll never, never never be erased.
Don’t lose sight
Of the bright, bright beacon light,
Guiding our time together
Your love, will stay in my heart forever.
21 and young
Unstoppable tonight
Facing every fear
Good friends all by your side
We party every day
And rock 'n roll all night
Just like the guys in KISS
Playing underneath the lights
I won’t let you down
Keep my feet right on the ground
All the way
Every single day
I won’t let you down
Checking in with friends
And staying in tonight
Got you by my side
Now everything’s alright
Sometimes my friends all say
I’ll never get this right
Stayed strong and held on tight
Now I know I’ll win the fight
I won’t let you down
Keep my feet right on the ground
All the way
Every single day
I won’t let you down
Like a landslide
Like a hurricane
Like an earthquake
Like an oil spill
Like a breakup
Like a divorce
Like a headache
Like a suicide
I won’t let you down
Keep my feet right on the ground
All the way
Every single day
I won’t let you down
Keep them close
Don’t let them stray
Before it’s too late
And precious memories slip away.
Memories are all that remain
And what I clench to stay sane.
A pinch when I start to complain
About insignificant strain.
Nothing is fail-safe
This will be our safeguard.
So I’ll seal the envelope
And pray you'll get this letter unharmed.
They’ll go to any length
To steal your precious possessions
Swiped as you stare
With a shocked expression.
You’ll suffer the same fate
Unless you stay aware
Left battered and broken
Beyond repair.
Nothing is fail-safe
This will be our safeguard.
So I’ll seal the envelope
And pray you'll get this letter unharmed.
Victory
For you and me
Victory
For you and me
Red and white
Win the fight
We will never be disgraced
Beam of light
Reignite
All the passion deep inside
Speed of light
Out of sight
We will never run and hide
Light of day
Dark of night
Facing every fear in sight
Victory
For you and me
Victory
For you and me
Was it love
At first sight?
Will she one day be his wife?
Full of life
Every night
Tell me all your best advice
Will and might
Come to life
Feel the energy tonight
Guiding light
Shining bright
Take me to a higher place
Victory
For you and me
Victory
For you and me
Everyone
In the world
Wants to find
Peace of mind
Seeing shapes
And colors
Like the rings
Of Saturn
Tilting, whirling, spinning
In a patchwork pattern
Don’t get bogged
Down by life
Always stand
Tall and fight
Shoes tell the
Story of
Where our feet
Have traveled
Tilting, whirling, spinning
In a patchwork pattern
In life we
Win and lose
Patchwork Pattern
In life we
Do our best
Patchwork Pattern
Tilting, whirling, spinning
In a patchwork pattern
Girl, let's ride together
You and me in perfect harmony forever
Along the roads in little towns
Listening to all the sounds
Promising each other we'll never let this life get us down!
Ba Do Da, Bah Do Bop Bop Bah Da Da Do
Ba Do Da, Bah Do Bop Bop Bah Da Da Do
Ba Du Da, Bah Du Bop Bop Bah Da Do Da
Girl, let's dance all night in the city
Here's to our love, our life and our fidelity
This time is ours so let's make it last
We’re only young once so let’s have a blast
Hold me close; kiss me with those silk-like-lips let's sing out loud!
Ba Do Da, Bah Do Bop Bop Bah Da Da Do
Ba Do Da, Bah Do Bop Bop Bah Da Da Do
Ba Du Da, Bah Du Bop Bop Bah Da Do Da
Patchwork Reprise featuring Rebecca Haviland
Let go
And flow
Blossom
And grow
Boys and girls all live to
Be loved and to love too
We’re all the same
Let friends be there for you
And they will support in
Good and bad times
Life may not always be
What you pictured in your
Mind baby
Playing, winning, losing
Gambling your best game
Roll the dice and...
Let go
And flow
Blossom
And grow
Come tell me a story
Of whiskey and lovers
Heartbreak on high street
Play your hand the best you
Can the rest is up to
You man
Do not be afraid to
Be yourself and do what
You do
Listen to your heart and
Follow all of your dreams
You must be strong
Let go
And flow
Blossom
And grow
Our eyes connect as you approach me
And whisper words into my ear softly.
Will I see you again?
How could I let this happen?
Our lives broke off at the fork in the road.
If we meet again, I’ll fix this fiasco.
Maybe I’ll see you pushing a shopping cart,
Then I’d apologize to you my sweetheart.
A thousand people pass me a day.
I’m poised with words I’m ready to say.
I’ve sorted myself out.
It’s not too late to work this out.
Gave my heart to you in my dream.
In that place I never hold back what I mean,
Now I’ve cast out all my constraints
And I won’t, let this die away.
On a walk I spotted you in the park,
Eager, I pursued you with persistence.
The back of her hair looked like you from a distance
But no, she wasn’t you, not even a close a match.
No, look-a-like could ever be as good a catch.
A thousand people pass me a day.
I’m poised with words I’m ready to say.
I’ve sorted myself out.
It’s not too late to work this out.
Gave my heart to you in my dream.
In that place I never hold back what I mean,
Now I’ve cast out all my constraints
And I won’t, let this die away.
Warren the old man with white hair
Sits alone on the subway train.
Talking to himself, wishing someone would say
“Hey, how was your day?”
Take a look around,
Take a good look around
And tell me if you like what you see.
Take a look around
Take a good look around
Did you forget what it means?
Lonely old man sits with his head bowed so low
Frowning in the cold
Needing, wishing, wanting for all of his sorrows
To go, to go, to go…
To go far away!
Take a look around,
Take a good look around
And tell me if you like what you see.
Take a look around
Take a good look around
Did you forget what it means?
The words we exchange in conversation
Leave me intrigued with interest.
Eyes rove absorbing the scenery,
As we sip our green tea, enjoying the company.
Word for word,
Line for line,
So much appears absurd,
But you motivate me to shine.
Word for word,

So much appears absurd,
But you motivate me to shine.
Your fascinating face
If I could freeze that image in time and space,
I’d give it all, to capture that image
And save it forever in my mental footage.
I hold you, responsible,
For that permanent mark, you left, on my life.
Now you’re so far, and it’s a shame,
But on my desk, you smile back inside the photo frame.
Plenty of time on my hands, while I’m away,
As I’m learning lessons throughout the days,
Thoughts swirl through my headspace,
But what matters most is that smile I, recall on your face.
How does it feel, how does it feel,
To get your kicks out of harassing crestfallen people?
Trying to fill, just trying to fill
That void in your lonely life, that you never, never ever enjoyed.
Cheap shot after cheap shot,
Was all you had for support.
It's a feeble excuse, just a feeble excuse
For a keen retort.
Cheap shot after cheap shot,
Was all you had for support.
It's a feeble excuse, just a feeble excuse
For a keen retort... for a keen retort.
I have, little empathy to offer
For the empty, angry person you’ve become.
Face to face we were friends,
But behind my back you were scoffing at Carpe Diem.
Cheap shot after cheap shot,
Was all you had for support.
It's a feeble excuse, just a feeble excuse
For a keen retort.
Cheap shot after cheap shot,
Was all you had for support.
It's a feeble excuse, just a feeble excuse
For a keen retort... for a keen retort.
Party after party, night after night,
Wasting the days away, falling by the wayside.
Missing out and you're missing the point,
Because you’re too busy, with, protecting... with protecting your pride.
Too tall but not tall enough.
Look how the fabric over sculpted skin is dispersed.
Is this all you notice?
You attack your, friends before they, hurt you first.
Your false face will never fool me.
So I'm so expendable and replaced so easily.
True colors stand out like neon yellow in a crowd of black.
You didn’t even, hesitate to, turn your back.
Crawling back on hands and knees
Won’t get you sympathy when you need me
Cause’ you’ve run out of expertise.
Out of expertise.
This is your first and last notice.
I call the shots from now on
And I’ve released myself from your superficial gaze.
I’ve thrown our past on the fire and lit those, memories ablaze.
Quick to criticize
And target the faults in others that, reside within you.
I promise it'll be your demise
Left alone, with the guilt of your insults, idle inside.
Crawling back on hands and knees
Won’t get you sympathy when you need me
Cause’ you’ve run out of expertise.
Cause’ I won’t… And you don’t… have a clue what it is
To, give of yourself… No you don’t and you never will…
There, I’ve spread them across the table.
The stories that spell out the news.
I've settle with the outcome that I’ve sewn
And I accept it without a groan.
I lie awake and, reflect on every moment.
And I remember every, time that I tried and, failed to catch my fall
And factors fit like puzzle pieces into the equation
That I seize the day to solve.
My storage space is running low
And it's time to empty the excess build-up blocking the way.
It's preventing safe passage
For clarity to cope with the price to pay.
I lie awake and, reflect on every moment.
And I remember every, time that I tried and, failed to catch my fall
And factors fit like puzzle pieces into the equation
That I seize the day to solve.
Expel.... expel!
The river runs along beside me.
The tree tops tangle in the sky.
The clouds float like handprints overhead
As the beauty races through, my head.
I lie awake and, reflect on every moment.
And I remember every, time that I tried and, failed to catch my fall
And factors fit like puzzle pieces into the equation
That I seize the day to...
That I seize the day to...
That I seize the day to solve.
