Somewhere Before

(e.weideman / s.shapiro)

There's something in your eyes

Like staring at the sky

You don't know where it starts

Or if it ever ends

Still if I couldn't see

It's what you make me feel

What you make me feel

Don't I know you from somewhere before?

Don't I know you from somewhere?

So strange..

You seem familiar….

Walk with me?

Talk with me, so that I might remember…..

So that I might remember

It's something I don't know

Nothing I can place

A whisper in your ear

A dream when you're awake

Staring at the sky

Don't know where it starts

Hope it never ends

Don't I know you from somewhere before?

Don't I know you from somewhere?

So strange..

You seem familiar….

Walk with me?

Talk with me, so that I might remember…..

So that I might remember

I know you from somewhere before

I know you from somewhere before

Is there something you'd like to say?

…so that I might remember?

Something that I could say to you

Is there something you'd like to say?

…so that I might remember?

So that I might remember….you

I might remember

I know you from somewhere before

I know you from somewhere before

Don't I know you from somewhere before?

Don't I know you from somewhere?

The Story Never Ends

(e.weideman)

You took a fall

You hit the wall

You didn’t see it

Now it’s too late

You gave it all

Revealed your soul and all it’s secrets

Without thinking

Now all you ever had

Is locked up in a photograph

Red wine and a broken heart

The story never ends

It just gets told

Don’t give up

Never stop

Everyone needs someone

You made the deal

Let go of the wheel

And stopped giving

You gave in too

You lost control

Love paid the toll and it lies bleeding

Now you need it

The warm touch of a woman’s hand

Is the dream of every man

You can live with a broken heart

The story never ends

It just gets told

Don’t give up

Never stop

Everyone needs someone

We say goodbye so many times

Soon enough you realise that

The story never ends

It just gets told

Don’t give up

Never stop

Everyone needs someone

Everyone needs someone

Don’t give up

I will never stop

Never stop

'Cause everyone needs someone...

All That I Touch

(e.weideman)

One look is all it takes

One smile and my burning heart aches

One touch and I forget who I am

Once kiss…

I can't turn back again

Oh listen to me babe

To what I have to say

Tomorrow I'll be miles away

But you'll be with me

In the air that I breathe

In all that I touch and all I see

In every smile I fake

Every tear that I hide

Oh baby, baby, baby…

You'll be with me

No words can justify

There's no need

The night's on fire

Sleep sweet in my loving arms

A memory in the breaking dawn

So look into the night and chose the brightest star

And you'll know exactly where you are

You'll be with me

In the air that I breathe

In all that I touch and all I see

In every smile I fake

Every tear that I hide

Oh baby, baby, baby…

You'll be with me

Babe it's breaking my heart

I don't know where to start

If you could look into my eyes and tell me what you see

Is this where you want to be?

You'll be with me

In the air that I breathe

In all that I touch and all I see

In every smile I fake

Every tear that I hide

Oh baby, baby, baby…

Be with me

In the air that I breathe

In all that I touch and all I see

'Cause you're all I want and all I desire

Oh baby, baby, baby…

Be with me

Stop The World

(e.weideman / s.shapiro)

I can’t think of a time

When we all were satisfied

When everything was easy

There’s no need to contest

What is mine or who is best

Still we find a reason

But don’t stop the world

Don’t stop the world for me

I couldn't make it work

I couldn't make it work without you

So much blood on the ground

On our hands

Flowing out but the wounds are healing

Dear god what have we done?

Did we forget we are one?

How did we fail to see it?

But don’t stop the world

Don’t stop the world…please…no

I couldn't make it work

I couldn't make it work without you

Don't stop the world

Don't stop the world for me

No I couldn't make it work

Don't stop the world

Don't stop the world…for me

The Hell Of It

(e.weideman)

Is it your conscience that keeps you from sleep?

Is it the promise you tried so hard to keep?

Is it the meeting you didn't try to avoid?

Is it the honesty you couldn't make breathe?

Is it the enemy you didn't want me to be?

And now the candle in the window burns your fingers

I'm not immune to the things that you say

I'll stand alone at the end of the road

Ready for what may come

And if I don't make it to heaven

I won't be upset

You can wait a whole lifetime

For answers you'll never get

And it seems that the price of love

Is more than any wager you can bet

So if you don't make it to heaven

I'll be here for the hell of it…

I can't open a door that's locked inside

Or share a secret you're trying to hide

Is it the fear of swimming out

Only to find it's too deep?

It's not that bad

to let it all go…

You could wait a little while

And we could walk the miles

Ready for what may come

And if you don't make it to heaven

Don't be upset

You can wait a whole lifetime

For answers you'll never get

And it feels like you've dreamed all your life

And all of them have turned out bad

So if you don't make it to heaven

I'll be here for the hell of it…

Sometimes you don't make it to heaven

So don't be upset

You can wait a whole lifetime

For answers you'll never get

And it seems that the price of love

Is more than any wager you can bet

So if you don't make it to heaven

I'll be here for the hell of it…

I will be here

And it feels like you've dreamed all your life

And all of them have turned out bad

So if you don't make it to heaven

I'll be here for the hell of it…

I will be here...

Stop

(e.weideman)

I'm out of time

I'm out of mind

I'm out of touch with what's at hand

Out of the west and in the east

So many souls beneath my feet

I wanna know

I wanna feel

Show me the cause

Tell me the deal

I hear a song from up above

Can't sing along

I don't know the words

Stop

Lay down your armalite

Step into the sunshine

Stop

Lay with your love tonight

Om Mani Padme Hum

I stand upon the barren ground

There's nothing here that makes a sound

But thunder roars and there's a flash

But the only rain that falls is tears

It's just too hard to understand

And harder still, to be a man

Nobody's God leads them to kill

Where there's a child there is love

Stop

Lay down your armalite

Step into the sunshine

Stop

Lay with your love tonight

Om Mani Padme Hum

Nobody's God leads them to kill

Where there's a child there is lovehe moves like a ghost

City Talks

(s.shapiro)

Every city has a voice

Can you hear between the noise?

Echo through the subway

Whisper on a platform

Rattle of a slow train

Ringing as the bell tolls

Buzzing of the cell phones

All whirling in my ears

This city talks, sometimes it sings

A song for every soul who’s ever lived within

This city talks, sometimes it screams

And this time is it making or is it breaking dreams?

Beeping of the blocked cars

Music from the street bars

All swirling in the air

Preaching from a soap box

Begging at the bus stops

I’m standing on the corner

This city talks, sometimes it sings

The joys of victory the sorrows of our sins

This city talks, sometimes it screams

This time is it making or is it breaking dreams?

Is it breaking dreams?

Every city has a voice

Is it laughing in your face?

Or crying in your ear

Can you hear between the noise?

The message is loud and clear

Every city has a voice

Can you hear between the noise?

This city talks, sometimes it sings

The pleasure of love made the pain of lives unlived

This city talks, sometimes it screams

And this time is it making or is it breaking dreams?

Is it breaking dreams?

Echo through the subway

Whisper on a platform

Rattle of a slow train

Believe In Your Own Lies

(s.shapiro)

Look over your shoulder

Cover your tracks

The game is over

You just relax

Your words are outrageous

You'd say the sun is the moon

If truth is contagious

Then you are immune

You've got the perfect disguise

You just believe in your own lies

You've got no reason to hide

When you believe in your own lies

Now I wouldn't blame you

For twisting a fact

But it's fiction that makes you

And now it's under attack

But you don't notice

Maybe you don't care

Now you've learned to focus

On what's not even there

You've got the perfect disguise

You just believe in your own lies

You've got no reason to hide

When you believe in your own lies

And that's the perfect disguise

You just believe in your own lies

Can't be betrayed by your eyes

When you believe in your own lies

I do believe that you believe in your own lies

Fright Of Your Life(e.weideman)

Time…

A relative principle..

I’ve got no time for you

I’ve gotta go down to the head factory

To build a bit of “front” for me

To put on my “party face”

For all of my friends to see

You’re gonna get the fright of your life

Your mother and father warned you all about me

There’s nothing to fear

It’s just the stranger in me

I'll do what I'm doing

Over and over

Hey…

I think I just made the news

How about this coat?

It’s one of a kind and it’s mine

I think I’ll go to Bourbon Street

Or maybe the worlds fair

Just think of the people I’ll meet

Greet me with hands in the air?

You’re gonna get the fright of your life

Your mother and father warned you all about me

There’s nothing to fear

It’s just the stranger in me

I'll do what I'm doing

Over and over

I think I’ll go to Bourbon Street

Or maybe the worlds fair

Just think of the people I’ll meet

Greet me with hands in the air?

You’re gonna get the fright of your life

Your mother and father warned you all about me

There’s nothing to fear

It’s just the stranger in me

I'll do what I'm doing

Over and over

Yeah!

Where You Are

(e.weideman / s.shapiro)

Oh my Lord
Listen to my thoughts
Oh they burn me, they confuse me

And they give no peace of mind

Heaven knows that I’ve
Never known how to say goodbye

All my life, all my life

Oh my lord
Do you hear my thoughts
For they turn me, they refuse me

Anyway to peace of mind
No matter how I try
Still don’t know how to say goodbye

All my life, all my life

Can I go to where you are
Go to where you are
'Cause it haunts me every waking hour
Of my life
Can I go to where you are
Go to where you are
'Cause it haunts me every waking hour of my life

Oh my lord
Listen to my thoughts
For they burn me, they refuse me

And they won’t give peace of mind

In the valley of the shadow

Though I know I’m not alone
So I raise my head and cry

Can I learn how to say goodbye

In this life, in this life

Can I go to where you are
Go to where you are
'Cause it haunts me every waking hour
Of my life

Can I go to where you are
Go to where you are
'Cause it haunts me every waking hour of my life

Can I go to where you are
Go to where you are
'Cause it haunts me every waking hour
Of my life

Can I go to where you are
Show me where you are
'Cause it haunts me every waking hour of my life
