Sweet is the air by the waterside, where the breeze is high and its cool. I'm such a fool, here by the sea so blue, wishing that you were here with me. Days, they seem so long. but what am I to do? I'm only here for you. Just for you, I'd walk the mile it puts my mind at ease, I feel that I can breathe, again.

I'm sitting here listening to these sounds It makes me wonder what is to be found? Please take me away from this place I can't seem to live here anymore Take me to a land of falling strings And bells that ring and voices that sing Angels dancing round my livingroom Singing out and playing like fools in love There's angels dancing round my livingroom There' singing out and playing like fools in love Take me to a land of falling strings And bells that ring and voices that sing Please take me away from this place I can't seem to live here anymore.

Hold on 05:40
You're all I never knew I wanted You're the answer to the question never asked You're flying circles round the sun When I only ever dreamed of driving fast Chorus : So hold on my love,  the moon is on our side And hold on my dear,  this boy is catching up with you You're my shining star up in the sky You're the one to show me which way I must go You're travelling at the speed of sound Can you hear me calling in the after-glow? So hold on...

Lessons in life Lessons in love Has it all been planned By the man up above? Do you know which way You're going to turn? Our whole life is A lesson to be learned. When we fell in love We tried to make it last We were holding on tight But it disappeared too fast My mind's made up I've got to let it go And as they say 'Tomorrow never knows'.

How long 03:19
How long, how long Will you be? Can't you see? That I've been waiting in the cold Because of you! Time goes, time goes Slowly by, Yes I know why, 'Cause I've been waiting in the cold Because of you! No feeling, no feeling In my hands No I can't stand All this waiting in the cold Because of you! Where are you? Now I've turned blue My blood has dropped, And my heart has stopped... And I died here in the cold Because of you!

My love she has gone away Through the distant clouds above They close in and it rains The sun has gone, disappeared From my life, another year, Passes by, I don't know why, But she's gone. The leaves they now fall to the ground, Green, orange, yellow, gold and brown, Seasons come and they go, It reminds me of the time I've lost, holding on, feeling slow, I don't know, where this time has gone, But it's gone. And now we're together again, The summer sun it now shines through, Here for me and you.

There once was a man Who made a boat It was built so fine It was sure to float For miles and miles Across the water He built it so, He could meet his daughter Who was born in a land Off far away His actions could speak More than words could say More than words could say. And on his journey He lost his sails In his quest for his daughter He was sure to fail He was swallowed by the sea. I'm cold and green I cannot, I can't seem To find my way From this stream That has turned to A great big sea That is blowing me, Yes it's blowing straight through me.

From the country to the city No I haven't found my pretty girl Who'll say she'll love me ever, ever, more I'm so sore and bruised From the constant failure Of my trail to you Whoever you maybe? Lets hope that you can find me Cause' I've been crying 'n trying n' dying To meet ya' What a bang with I shall greet ya' Whoever you may be? Let's hope it's not just me For the rest of my days Sitting round and down No I can't take it Whoever you may be? 'Looks like it's just me and my guitar for now!'
