Taking the time, to find the place where I came from The alleys and the highways, the fields where I would run The schoolyards and the playgrounds, the town I used to know But the streets don’t recognise me, the house don’t know my name So I forget this town, and wander on into the dawn Forget my past and wander on into the dawn Heading for home, I got new ideas on my mind Things I wanna capture, things I wanna find Somewhere in the future there’s a place that waits for me So I forget this town, and wander on into the dawn Forget my past and wander on into the dawn If you go back, go back, it’s so strange You’ll find nothing, no-one is the same You’ll find something, somehow will have changed - And maybe it’s you

Wish I knew, what to say to you, When you smile at me I can tell, you’ve got things going on, Aching silently All you gotta do is talk about it Find somebody who is on your side Do you ever wanna talk about it? Just a victim of your stupid pride. Wo-oh, you conceal Wo-oh, how you feel Wo-oh, you’re not so alone After all, you are loved so much, And you know that’s true Open up, let the inside out, I got time for you All you gotta do is talk about it You’re not the only one who ever cried If you never wanna talk about it Then you gotta keep it all inside Wo-oh…..

Bright Clasp 02:00
Bright Clasp of her whole hand around my finger My daughter as we walk together now All my life I'll feel a ring invisibly Circle this bone with shining When she is grown, far from today As her eyes are far already

Back in Time 03:56
It's been so long since I saw you But I think I've found a way A way to see you smile again And hold you in my arms I found a way to travel back in time And no-one will believe me, but it's true I find your photograph and hold it tight I close my eyes, and simply wish for you And suddenly I'm back in time I'm there with you, and sunlight in my eyes I wanna watch those birds with you The silhouettes and shadows in the trees I wanna climb those hills with you And reach the top, and lay down on the ground The things we always loved to do Are playing on my mind Like dreams they're spinning round and around I see them all the time Though time and tide will never wait for me My time machine will sail a course so true I take a page out of my diary I close my eyes, and simply think of you And suddenly I'm back in time To be with you, and walk with you again I wanna watch those skies with you And see the stars, shining down on you I wanna dance one more time with you And see you smile, and hold you in my arms

Break Free 03:53
You took my life and you took my time with your lying And you led me on with your promises, kept me trying You put your guilt on me From Day One lied to me I was taken in Break Free You filled my head with your made-up world of illusion And you took control of my pleasure with your delusion You gave me love with one hand The other threatened me, And I see through you now Break Free

Platform 16 04:01
Run high and low, And the rails go on forever Above, below, They will lead us back together I’ll see you tomorrow, if you come to me I’ll see you tomorrow, on Platform 16 This time will pass, I remember how I met you Sand in the glass, Falling down, I won’t forget you I’ll see you tomorrow, so patiently I’ll see you tomorrow, on Platform 16 Hey – all the places that you will pass on the way Hey – all those people that you might meet on your way I’ll see you tomorrow, if you come to me I’ll see you tomorrow, on Platform 16

In Marseille 03:05
There's a street I know, it's in Marseille The Old Port is near, Rue de la Paix Where we both would meet To drink café And I think of you Still in Marseille

Temptress 03:43
You’re my temptation; it's time that you knew You're drivin me cra-zy I’m achin for you I gotta hold you.... and feel your smooth skin You make my heart race - my head's in a spin So hot, yeah, you're always so damn hot You're the most sexy thing on Earth Your curves are more than I deserve You know I like what I observe Each time I see you, my heart is on fire You do your thing and I'm filled with desire Come over here and we'll dance to the beat Let's fan the flames and we'll both feel the heat So hot, yeah, you're always so damn hot You're the most sexy thing on Earth Your curves are more than I deserve, it's too much You know I like what I observe You are a temptress; it's time that you knew You're drivin me cra-zy I’m achin for you I gotta hold you.... and feel your smooth skin You make my heart race - my head's in a spin

Centuries 04:22
You open your eyes And see, here we are Just look where we started, We’ve all come so far But all of the labours The tears and their pain We take them for granted Forget their names Seems a shame… The millions of centuries of this world And all of the wonders The things we have learned And now the delusions drag us back to the dark age Centuries Thoughts and Deeds Centuries They say that in each town A torch of truth shines The teacher will bear it And brighten our minds But here comes a priest now To blow out the light He’s back in the darkness With fables and lies And reason cries In all of the centuries as we grow The lessons are hard, But soon we will know That only Art, Science, Love and Reason Have meaning Centuries Thoughts and Deeds Centuries

about

If you like to hear songs that are crafted, well arranged and which carry some emotion, some meaning - this could be the album for you.

Reviewed by Guitar Mal - as "a bit of a masterpiece" - and he doesn't say such things lightly!
