I'm up way past my bedtime Still looking at your face I'm caught up in a rapture in the thrill of the chase Answer me my questions three I'd really like to know you a little better so I can let go and just be with your body next to me Baby I I think we'd get along just fine Let me into your life You don't have to make me your wife Honey let down your guard You don't have to make this so hard You are such a sweet thang You got a good brain in your head It feels like an epiphany getting you in my bed Oh, put your arms around me You're gonna feel me breaking down I got that stairway to heaven growing outta my crown and Baby I I'd like to keep you up all night Baby I I'd like to see you in the light Let me into your life You don't have to make me your wife Honey let down your guard You don't have to make this so hard And honey I know you got a woman back home Honey I know you got a woman back home And I got a man too But I want you.

Spring Fling 04:56
I met you in the springtime Under skies of blue It was easy to be lovers When the world was new Like a simple accident Like a trick of gravity There was suddenly no space In between you and me Somewhere somewhere in the heart's domain the tyranny of distance holds no sway Somewhere somewhere behind my eyes I keep the secrets of your body close to mine The wind was in the east on the day we blew away Two kites released there was no way to stay Flying to the sunset, I thought I heard you cry This is not the end, I'll never say goodbye. Somewhere somewhere in the heart's domain the tyranny of distance holds no sway Somewhere somewhere behind my eyes I keep the secrets of your body close to mine Years have passed me by now In happiness and pain I dance upon the wind and the wheel turns again Though our story ended Although all stories do Still there is the springtime Still I dream of you. And somewhere somewhere in the open sky You and I still walk side by side Somewhere somewhere like a lullaby I let your memory sing me to sleep at night.

Hourglass 05:32
Time rushes by me on wings of quartz and steel turns in circles round me till I forget to feel Seconds turn to minutes, hours turn to days Don't matter how I count them, I never win the race. Against time, time I'm taking my time, time, I'm taking it I was lost inside a song the years seem short but the days are long time, time, taking me time, time, breaking me I'm lost inside a song now the years seem short but the days go on and on. And sometimes I remember the first days of my life I was once a daughter, now I'm acting like a wife and my mirror tells me lies when we discuss my age I'm smoothing out the lines, I'm pulling out the greys. Well that's time, time I'm taking my time, time, I'm taking it I was lost inside a song the years seem short but the days are long time, time, taking me time, time making me cry lost inside a song now the years seem short but the days go on and on It runs like rick-a-tick rick-a-tick tock I set my alarm but I don't wake up now it's been a long time since I've seen your face been a long time since the good old days I mean a damn long time since the good old days so even if it's true, don't tell me that I changed. The hourglass is running, you can't turn it around. One day you're a mile high, the next you're underground. The seconds and the moments, the seasons and the years, won't matter how you measured, once it disappears. Well, that's time, time, I'm taking my time, time, I'm taking it I was lost inside a song, the years seem short but the days are long time, time, taking me time, time, breaking me time, like water, deep and strong the current pulls us all along.

Hello new face, how do you do? I really couldn't help but notice you, Walking toward me like you own this room. Hello new friend, what's your sign? What's your flavour, what's your design, can my interest buy some of your time? Do you speak my language, do you know my name? Do you speak my language, will you play my game? Do you speak my language, can you guess my name? Do you speak my language, will you play my game? And baby, do you wanna go with me? Rock and roll with me, Rattle the bones with me. I wanna live right now. Go with me, Ready to blow with me, Keep it on the down-low with me. I wanna live right now. Now I'm looking for you in every face, I'd like to talk to you, but I got nothing to say, Too many heartbeats standing in my way. I don't know how it started, I don't know how to stop. Every time you're near me my blood heats up. Every time you're near me my blood heats up, every time you're near me my... Well I'm a deep-sea diver Top-of-the-liner I'm a deep-sea diver Swimming in my raincoat, swimming in my raincoat Deep-sea diver Top-of-the-liner I'm a deep-sea diver Swimming in my raincoat now. Baby, do you wanna go with me? Out of control with me, In the eye of the storm with me. I wanna live right now. On the road with me, Never grow old with me, Solid gold with me. I gotta live, live, live right now. Live, live, live right now. Live, live, live right now.

Flint and tinder, we go dancing in the night Flint and tinder, we'll explode when we unite Flint and tinder, stars shoot across the sky The dusty moonlight shines inside your eyes. Cremate what does not serve you Fear not the flame and spark This death is but a doorway Into the dark. Flint and tinder, you caught her and you skinned her.

Love has many faces, they change from day to day. Love is always moving in mysterious ways. I see love in kitchens and in carpeted halls. I learned it from my mama, she says it conquers all. You can run far, you can run fast But love is gonna chase you down. Whether it lasts, whether it fades Love is gonna make the change. You can't be surprised when you wake up and find That love is all around So if you want to get out, you'll have to fall in. Now I've seen the world from below and from above. and I've been everywhere, man. I've been everywhere but love. Some girls like to ramble, some girls just have to roam. This girl's been around, love, will you take her home? You can run far, you can run fast But love is gonna chase you down. Whether it lasts, whether it fades Love is gonna make the change. You can't be surprised when you wake up and find That love is all around So if you want to get out, you'll have to fall in. I fell in and love surrounded me. I fell in so deep I couldn't breathe. I fell in and while my face turned blue My heart was red, and beating for you. I know love's not a question of how much or how long For if love could be answered we wouldn't need so many songs. Somewhere beyond our anger, sometime after our grief Somewhere in between the lines, that's where love will be I fell into that burning ring I fell in and love was everything I fell in and my plans fell through When I lost my way, I found you So you can run far and you can run fast But love is gonna chase you down. Whether it lasts, whether it fades Love is gonna make the change So don't be surprised when you wake up and find That love has changed your life. No matter what you do, love will follow you Until the day you choose to fall in.

Fresh Air 03:52
I come from a small prairie town where the grass grows high and the eagles fly Yes, I come from a little place Where everybody knows your name. I have walked a lonesome road Only a song to warm my bones Yes, I come from a little place I always longed to escape. Baby, baby, since you came around I've been turning circles in my sleep You bloom like a springtime in my mind You light that fire under my feet Make me wonder who I'm s'posed to be. Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere? I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air. Ooooo, it could be so sweet. Ooooo, just you and me. I'd like to pack up all of my things, Just put my heart in a bag and my dreams on the wing Yeah, you, me, and baby makes three Ooo, that's the life for me Because every time the seasons change I feel that highway rumblin' in my veins to the mountains, to the sea Ooo, that's the life for me. Baby, baby, since you came around I've been turning circles in my sleep You bloom like a springtime in my mind You light that fire under my feet Make me wonder who I'm s'posed to be. Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere? I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air. Ooooo, it could be so sweet. Ooooo, just you and me. Well this city life's been breaking me Keeps me blind cuz I'm too busy I'd rather be on a dirt road somewhere feet in the grass, wind in my hair. Or with one thumb stuck to the side of the road Just trying to get where I'm trying to go, Down to the lake baby follow my trail, knee-deep in the mud, shaking my tail. Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere? I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air. Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere? I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air. Why don't you take me on a train going anywhere? I could be your sweetheart, you'd be my fresh air. Ooooo, it could be so, Oooo, it could be so, Ooo, it could be so... sweet.
