INSPIRATION
You used to be my inspiration
You showed me which way to go
Yeah, we've been into this complication
And I'm back out in the cold
It isn't only the hurt I feel
You see, I just don't understand
And like a storm in the midst of summer
You messed up all my plans
And if you can't give me a reason
Won't you spare me a word
Tell me not to believe in the things I've heard
You can't tell me goodbye
Without telling me why
You can't expect me to believe
A single word, no no no no
It isn't only the hurt I feel
You see, I just don't understand
And like a storm in the midst of summer
You messed up all my plans
And if you can't give me a reason
Won't you spare me a word
Tell me not to believe in the things I've heard
You can't tell me goodbye
Without telling me why
You can't expect me to believe
A single word, no no no no
I DON'T WANNA WAIT
I dont wanna wait until tomorrow
I don't wanna wait another day
I don't wanna live with all this sorrow
I'll just have to find another way
Seeing as how you've kept me
Hanging around for all this time
Playing with my mind and
Leaving all our love behind
But it's time for a decision
Should I stay or should I go
I need our love to grow
But there's so much I wanna know
'Cause in my heart and in my head
Are thoughts of how it just to be
But a world of memories
Is only emptiness to me
I dont wanna wait until tomorrow
I don't wanna wait another day
I don't wanna live with all this sorrow
I'll just have to find another way
And it's not a false illusion
I can see what's going on
If the magic's really gone
Then this is not where I belong
And I ask myself the questions
That confusion seems to bring
While the answers stay so thin
Upon the ground where I begin
'Cause in my heart and in my head
Are thoughts of how it just to be
But a world of memories
Is only emptiness to me
I dont wanna wait until tomorrow
I don't wanna wait another day
I don't wanna live with all this sorrow
I'll just have to find another way
I dont wanna wait until tomorrow
I don't wanna wait another day
I don't wanna live with all this sorrow
I'll just have to find another way
I dont wanna wait until tomorrow
I don't wanna wait another day
I don't wanna live with all this sorrow
I'll just have to find another way
THERE COMES A TIME
There comes a time in every man's life
He just forgets where he's going
There comes a time and he'll know just when
'Cause he'll simply stop growing
Without a deep imagination
Fear and doubt will quickly spread
And it's a hopeless situation
But that's how it looks inside his head
There comes a time
There comes a time to make up your mind
Time to face up to the problem
Every single day is a part of your life
And nothing can be forgotten
Time and time and time again
(Time and time and time again)
Who knows where and who knows when
(Time and time and time again)
It could happen any time
But it's too late to change your mind
There comes a time
And it's too late to change your mind
There comes a time
There comes a time
There comes a time
There comes a time
There comes a time for everyone
There comes a time
Now it's time
I believe there is a time
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
You came to me
With your eyes wide open
And you offered me your heart
You chose a time when
My soul was in trouble
You let your love play its part
Love at first sight
I felt Cupid's arrow bite
Love at first sight
Won't you carry me away
I swear that you must have
Come to me from heaven
Exactly in time of need
I can't imagine all the things
That might have happened
If my heart had not been freed
Love at first sight
I felt Cupid's arrow bite
Love at first sight
Won't you carry me away
We'll share our secrets
And dwell on the subjects
That please us and make us feel good
Safe in our love world
Our secret above world
That no one else ever understood
Love at first sight
I felt Cupid's arrow bite
Love at first sight
Won't you carry me away
Love at first sight
I felt Cupid's arrow bite
Love at first sight
Won't you carry me away
Love at first sight
I felt Cupid's arrow bite
Love at first sight
Won't you carry me away
YOU
If only you were a healer
You could cure me of all my ills
And if you were the kind
To take care of my mind
You'd be sure that my cup was filled
But you're only the greatest lady
And you only fulfill all my dreams
And I doubt if I could love you
Any more than I do
You're my everything
If you took my hand and we danced on a star
Or predicted some event from afar
Offered me gold at the end of a rainbow
I'd still love you just the way you are
I'd still love you just the way you are
So, there's something I'm looking for
Though I don't know what or where
And it seems when I hold out my hand in need
There's no one and nothing to share
It doesn't matter what you try to be
You'll only ever be you to me
I've gotta stay blind to your sad charade
'Cause I know it's only a game you play
Yes, I know it's only a game you play
And I'd still love you just the way you are
I'd still love you just the way you are
I'd still love you just the way you are
I'd still love you just the way you are
THE NAME OF THE GAME
Here comes trouble
In the shape of the lady
She started cool but now
She's coming 'round daily
She's got some big ideas
About being my baby
It's her game with the name of love
Now she's sure pretty
That I have to confess
But no five-star fox
Is getting me in a mess
Let's buy a ring, she says
Go out and get blessed
It's her game and she calls it love
Rock 'n' roll rules my soul
Pushing everything and everyone to one side
But when it all grows old, the chill's still cold
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet guitar
Rock 'n' roll rules my soul
Pushing everything and everyone to one side
But when it all grows old, the chill's still cold
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet guitar
GUILTY
She's guilty of deceiving me
She said she was in love with me
Worse, still, how long it took to see
How cruel love can be
She twisted my words though I gave her love
In the face of her lies
She is the devil in a fancy dress
She wears her passion as a thin disguise
And now that we have parted
And gone our separate ways
We can look back on all those wasted days
For there's a lesson inside our story
It haunts my memory
It taught me how hard the learning can be
And now that we have parted
And gone our separate ways
We can look back on all those wasted days
For there's a lesson inside our story
It haunts my memory
It taught me how hard the learning can be
WHO WILL SING FOR YOU
Who will sing for you
When you need a song
Who will stay with you
When it all goes wrong
Who will be there when you
Feel the weight of a tear
And say a prayer that is real
Just to lighten your fears
When I'm gone
I have lived with you
Through the good and bad
And I've given you
Everything I had
But I need to be needed
Not just used
So many times I have pleaded
But I've been abused
So now I'm gone
How long should a man be expected to live
Without a heart and nothing to give
MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME
It's not that I no longer love you
For I loved you once so much
And it can't be that I've grown to hate you
For it's just not in my heart to bear a grudge
So, why when someone mentions your name
Do I naturally assume it's the same, maybe
Maybe you can tell me
Do you know something I don't know
Maybe you can tell me
Is there really no place left for us to go
And if you speak
Will I believe what you say
Or will I dwell on the day
You nearly broke my heart
If you only knew how
I wanted all to be true
I really need to know
What keeps us apart
I can't put it all down to emotion
Lord, that's just a worn-out excuse
You're offering me your love
And that is something I just can't refuse
So I promise I'll try to welcome your name
And I'll tell myself you wanna do the same
'Cause maybe
Maybe you can tell me
Do you know something I don't know
Maybe you can tell me
Is there really no place left for us to go
Now maybe
Maybe you can tell me
Do you know something I don't know
Maybe you can tell me
Is there really no place left for us to go
FREE SPIRIT
When I was young and my spirit was free to ride
No one I knew had anything to hide
But all of this is changing with the days
I walked into a disillusioned maze
Those crazy, crazy, mellow, yellow days
Are lost in a so-called sophisticated haze
But I can still remember being care-free
And no one knows it better than me
'Cause I'm a free spirit
And I'm looking for a place to run
A free spirit of the wind
And a free spirit needs to be complete
I've got to have the world at my feet
Now my time has come and I'm dealing with here and now
And I'm gonna have to take care of it somehow
And I don't intend to wait gor the cover of night
The only way I know is to get up and fight
'Cause I'm a free spirit
And I'm looking for a place to run
A free spirit of the wind
And a free spirit needs to be complete
I've got to have the world at my feet
I'm a free sipirit
And I'm looking for a place to run
A free spirit of the wind
And a free spirit needs to be complete
I've got to have the world at my feet
COLD AUTUMN SUNDAY
When the leaving birds
Fill the stone grey sky
And the green, green leaves
Turn away and die
And the once warm sun
Has to run and hide
And the Winter clouds
Begin their stormy ride
Cold black shadows cross my eyes
And help to make me realize
You've gone, oh, cold Autumn Sunday
Still I'll walk along
The paths we shared
And I'll try to recreate
The love we had
For you were my life
And my heart is sad
And it's strange how Autumn
Used to make me glad
Only now an empty sky is there
To let me know how much I care
You're gone, oh, cold Autumn Sunday
I'm near to dying
No use denying that it's true
Spent my whole time crying
And finding ways of trying not to be blue
Oh, over you
I'm near to dying
No use denying that it's true
Spent my whole time crying
And finding ways of trying not to be blue
Oh, over you
When the leaving birds
Fill the stone grey sky
And the green, green leaves
Turn away and die
And the once warm sun
Has to run and hide
And the Winter clouds
Begin their stormy ride
Cold black shadows cross my eyes
And help to make me realize
You've gone, oh, Autumn Sunday
LONGER SHADOWS
Winter came today and took the sun away
Leaving me with nothing but the stars to play
But I'm sure that I won't let it bring me down
The rough comes with the smooth
But that's what life's about
Working on the principle that you'll be here
I can stand alone for quite a while
I know I can learn to live the changes of the year
Mellow in the river of your smile
I know that the season's queen can hear me
She's bringing longer shadows to the trees
Perhaps she knows I'd love to have you near me
So she tries her very best to please
Her best to please
I suppose I'll always have these memories
When we are together once again
Of the days which were so long and lonely
'Till the longer shadows and all the golden meadows
Told me that the time had come for us to love again
BLACK-HEARTED LADY
Reading between the lines I find
You don't mean what you say
You cheated and you lied
And how you made me hurt inside
You turned my days into darkest nights
And rearranged my dreams
You're just not what you seem
Black-hearted lady
I'm from the land
So you won't understand my grief
I've lived in vain belief
In a world of poisoned words
And everywhere I look
I find no answer to my prayer
You're just not there, black-hearted lady
TAKE CARE
Demo version of Footprints In The Snow.
Just like footsteps in the snow
Who knows where my heart will go
Will it lead me to you
Or will I see another empty day
Seasons come and quickly go
Kinda makes me wonder if they know
Why my heart keeps running near and far
If only they would tell me where you are
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road I'm speaking of
You'll remember when the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
I'm not trying to bring you down
I'm so tired of running around
I won't make the same mistakes again
Think carefully my friend
Think carefully my friend
You've got to think carefully my friend
I should've thought carefully my friend
DOES ANYTHING MATTER
Demo version of Woman Of The World
Note: US version is missing the 1st verse
Once was a boy from Dubrovnik
Who insisted on pissing in public
When asked for his reason
He said it's the season
For farting and changing the subject
Did you ever meet the kind of a lady
She lives her whole life saying maybe
Running here and there as she pleases
Not a thought for the people she teases
Though she never thinks of settling down
She'll spend time turning your head around
But don't let your heart start dancing
The lady don't waste no time romancing
Are you mine or are you
A woman of the world
Are you really so different
Fom all the other girls
Do you care that I care
About the things that you do
Does anything matter to you
Does anything matter to you
Once in a garden of glory
Someone sowed the seeds of this story
And the whole thing began
With a woman and a man
And still it's something no one understands
What I wanna know is
Does anything matter to you
Does anything matter to you
Oh, does anything at all matter to you
Does anything matter to you
IF I HAD THE TIME
If I had the time to re-live my life
I don't think I'd care to change a thing
As long as I find just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh, I can sing
I can have my fun with the silver stars
I can watch the sun fall in the sea if I want to
And if it rains, I will smile just the same
For the rain will make the flowers sing
I know how it is to feel sad
I know how it is when things go bad
But I'm sure that I have found the way
I'm happy here and here I'll stay
If I had the time to re-live my life
I don't think I'd care to change a thing
As long as I find just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh, I can sing
