Track Name: I Wish
I wish you could have been my friend
And I could have been yours,
We could have taught each other so much,
I wish we could have had the things that people like us should
But our souls just never seemed to touch

And now the sand has all run out
And there’s nothing I can do
I guess I never could talk to you,
This song is going to be my only chance to say goodbye
And tell you that I’ll miss you so much

I wish I could’ve been the one
You showered your love upon
I wish that you could have been prouder of me,
But I had a different road I had to travel on
And it took me places where you couldn’t be

And now the sand has all run out
There’s nothing I can do
I guess I never could talk to you,
This song is going to be my only chance to say goodbye
And tell you that I’ll miss you so much
Track Name: Different Game
Still i wake up in the morning,
Still i go to bed at night,
Still i fight the same old battles
And always try to do what’s right

But somehow it’s changed
It’s a different game,
It’s not the same
It’s a different game

Hung on so long for the moment,
When things would take a different path,
Thought that time was never coming
But now the moment’s here at last,

Somehow it’s changed
It’s a different game,
It’s not the same
It’s a different game

The answer wasn’t in a bottle,
The answer wasn’t in my head
I found the answer when you turned
and smiled at me,
A loving smile which simply said,

Somehow you’ve changed
You’re not the same
It’s a different game
It’s a different game
Track Name: No Water But The Sea
Seduced by the sun, tempted by heat,
Beautiful bodies asleep on the beach,
And it’s all the same, wherever you go,
Only the colors change,
And 10 days feels, just like 10 years,
With no old way of living,
It was an out of date plan, cursed by bad luck,
All my dreams went down the river

I had to leave, so i could come back to stay,
The world had changed and i didn’t know it
Tear life apart, just to build it again,
I had changed and i didn’t know it
And there was no water but the sea

I forgot, that i belong alone,
In this land where my family lies,
Finally accepting, that there’s sailing no more,
I ran away from the noise,
To starlit darkness, heading home,
I cross the bridge and it starts to rain,
Live with the good memories, live with the bad,
I won’t throw myself off the edge again

I had to leave, so i could come back to stay,
The world had changed and i didn’t know it
Tear life apart, just to build it again,
I had changed and i didn’t know it
And there was no water but the sea
Track Name: Plymouth Road
Driving down a road, I saw signs to my past
A weight of memories tumbled down
I felt just like a bird, that can never land
Full of hidden shallowness

If I become the person I said I’d never be
There’ll be nothing left that’s right, in this life for me
On the Plymouth road

Driving down a road, I saw signs to my past
A weight of memories tumbled down
I’m not trying to wave, I’m not trying to drown
I’m just trying to come around

If I become the person I said I’d never be
There’ll be nothing left that’s right, in this life for me
On the Plymouth road
Track Name: No More Pain
No more pain just can’t stand,
I can’t stand being hurt no more
Been down there too many times before,
I’m not going again
Sitting by my window,
Watching time drifting slowly by,
Seeing life without a ‘You and I’,
I can’t stand no more pain

I can recall life before time started moving so fast,
That was before you ran away to the past

No more pain just can’t stand,
I can’t stand being hurt no more
Been down there too many times before,
I’m not going again

You were my life, I’d rather miss you than forget you,
Prisoner of time owing so much to so few

No more pain just can’t stand,
I can’t stand being hurt no more
Been down there too many times before,
I’m not going again
Sitting by my window,
Watching time drifting slowly by,
Seeing life without a ‘You and I’,
I can’t stand no more pain
Track Name: Winter
Today is the last day of summer
Come on sun come and get me one more time
Tomorrow I’ll take my boots out walking in the rain
To an empty table in an empty bar room

To look for a better time coming is a good way to be
When surviving is something to do
When there’s no place left to run to, then you can be free
And part of me is always waiting for you

Frosty early morning
Diesel fumes hang in the air
Smoke rising straight into a starlit sky
Steamy windows, log fire bright

To look for a better time coming is a good way to be
When surviving is something to do
If there’s no place left to run to, then you can be free
And part of me is always waiting for you
Track Name: I Ran Away
I ran around the world, leaving the past behind
I didn’t carry much I’d never need
Only the ties that bind
Kept burning all my bridges
Though nothing burns for long
A little love a little tenderness
Another reason to move on

Maybe I’d stopped caring
Maybe I was only bored
As if the act of leaving
Was its own reward
I couldn’t stay, another day, I ran away

I never wanted the American dream
Just didn’t care to play
I disappeared into the setting sun
I threw a ball away
I ran away from lovers, I ran away from Spain
I ran away from the fear of failing
Then ran right back again

Maybe I’d stopped caring
Maybe I was only bored
As if the act of leaving
Was its own reward
I couldn’t stay, another day, I ran away
Track Name: Up The Creek
Gonna miss you when you’re gone
But time has come for moving on
I’ll still have the photographs of you
See the street lamps coming on
Light is fading soon be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be chasing after you

Up the creek, down the river
The thought of going back, makes me shiver
And that day has come around too fast

Loving things and letting go
Is the hardest thing I know
But no-one stays on mountain tops too long
Yes I’ll miss you when you’re gone
But it’s time for moving on
And I still have the photographs of you

Up the creek, down the river
The thought of going back, makes me shiver
And that day has come around too fast
Up the creek, down the river
I'll be missing you forever
And that day has come around too fast
Track Name: Hello Again
It’s hard to believe what just happened
As I sit here writing this song,
Where you’re just standing on the corner
Like you were waiting for someone

Hello again

And I still get that same old feeling
Every time I see you baby
You still send my senses reeling,
Just like you always did

Hello again

We had that long conversation
The one where you’re saying goodbye
And I’m trying to come to terms with
My life being a lie
Where a series of misunderstandings
And hopes I couldn’t deny
Were all that I had to live for
As time slowly went by

And I’m wondering if you still feel it
The way I’m feeling it now,
Is there a trace of the magic
That used to move us so

Hello again
Hello again
Track Name: Those Days Will Come Again
A man came on the TV and told me that he knew
About how the Cubans felt in 1962
If you preach of the glory of war
You should have lived in fear
Of a man with a button saying ‘god bless all here’

We showed our elders how to live in the peace
That they had struggled for
And were rewarded with ridicule
For the clothes we wore
The worlds forgetting all the battles we fought
All the things we did
What we taught our parents then
Now we must teach our kids

How I miss those mop top days
When it seemed so black and white
To stand up for your principles
To fight for what was right

Those days will come again
