Somewhere there's a river
Looking for a stream
Somewhere there's a dreamer
Looking for a dream
Somewhere there's a drifter
Trying to find his way
Somewhere someone´s waiting
To hear somebody say
I believe in you
I can´t even count the ways that
I believe in you
And all I want to do is help you to
Believe in you
Somewhere there's an angel
Trying to earn his wings
Somewhere there's a silent voice
Learning how to sing
Some of us can't move ahead
We're paralyzed with fear
And everybody's listening
'Cause we all need to hear
CHORUS
I will hold you up
I will help you stand
I will comfort you when you need a friend
I will be the voice that's calling out
I believe in you
I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you
And all I want to do is show you
I believe in you
And there are just so many ways that
I believe in you
Baby, what else can I do but believe in you - believe in you
All I want to know is you believe - believe in you
Somebody told me
Once in a life time
Destiny finds you and blows you away 
Spins you in circles
Pulls you in pieces
Bleeds you like Jesus
And goes on its way
But it's oh so simple sometimes
Just to lay your heart open wide
If you wanna get to heaven
Then you gotta take the ride
Love lift me
Wherever you are
Convince me
I'm safe in your arms
Love lift me
Make sense of it all
Teach me to fly
And don't let me fall
Somebody told me
Love makes you stupid
Make you go crazy
Makes you go blind
Comes uninvited
And leaves when it wants to
Calls you at midnight and ties up your line
But it's oh so sweet when it's right (there's nothin' better)
And you swear you won't but you might (you're gonna try)
Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light
CHORUS
And when it's all said and done
It's just the same for everyone
You're busy making your plans
Love's like a bird baby
Flying out of your hands
And it's oh so hard to explain (we don't know nothin')
And your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try)
Better batten down the hatches baby
Here we go again
Love lift me
Wherever you are
Convince me
I'm safe in your arms
Love lift me
I'm waiting on you
'Cause nothing can lift me
The way that you do
Love lift me
Love lift me
Love lift me (only love can Take me higher)
I wanna fly
Why am I lonely
You're sitting right here
Why am I talking
It's like I'm talking to the air
What am I looking for
That just isn't there
Why am I angry
How'd it get so bad
And why am I missing
What we never really had
CHORUS
Why don't you love me
The way I love you
Why don't you feel things
As deep as I do
We've got a fundamental difference
In matters of emotion
But I need feel you need me
Like a river needs an ocean
Baby why don't you love me
Who am I kidding
It wasn't meant to be
But you wanted a believer
And I needed to believe
For every wall you built around you
I learned a brand new way to climb
And if could've been your angel
I would've found a way to fly
CHORUS
SOLO
I don't understand you
What's it take to make you cry
And if leaving you don't break you
Then baby what it matter why
CHORUS
Tuesday night - 7:30
I hear a voice on the telephone
Doin' fine - then it hits me
The voice that I am hearing means you're not alone
I thought it would be easy but it's not
And now I would give all that I've got
CHORUS
But it's too little too late
No going back to the start
You only lose when you hesitate
And now that I would give you my heart
It's too little too late
Two more weeks - I start to wonder
If what I'm missing's really worth these tears
What's the point - you've found another
And I just keep on talking but you just can't hear
You swore you'd wait forever and a day
I never thought I'd live to hear you say
CHORUS
So mad about me
You couldn't live without me
Now you say you're moving on
I took the long way
I told you maybe someday
I guess I made you wait too long
SOLO
I know I've only got myself to blame
And I've still got my pride but just the same
It's just too little too late
No going back to the start
You only lose when you hesitate
And now I wanna give you my heart
And now you tell me
That it's too little too late
No going back to the start
You only lose when you hesitate
And now that I would give you my heart
It's too little too late
It's too little
Too late
5. If
I didn´t have you:
I don't know what I was thinking
'Til I was thinking of you
I don't remember a thing before I opened my eyes
And you came into view
I don't know what I was doing
When there was nothing to do
Must've been waiting for someone, baby
Now I can see - I was waiting for you
CHORUS
I'd give up my sight just to see you
I'd beg, I would borrow and steal
I'd cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel
There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me
If I didn't have you
Driving myself to distraction
Until you got in my way
I was just whistling Dixie 'til you struck up the band
And they started to play
I don't know how I was living
Until you came in my life
I always knew there was something wrong
Then you came along
Baby, you made it right
CHORUS
I was alone in the silence
'Til I was hearing your voice
I couldn't see my way clear until you parted the clouds
And you gave me a choice
I couldn' pick up the pieces
'Til I was falling apart
I didn't know I was bleeding
'Til your love fixed this hole, baby, here in my heart
I'd give up my sight just to see you
I'd beg, I would borrow and steal
I'd cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel
There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow
There's no place that I'd rather be
This life without you would be hollow
This love is a gift, and you gave it to me
All that I am, you have made me
And baby, I know that it's true
I'd give it all up in a heartbeat
Just to spend every moment with you
There's no place that I wouldn't follow
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me
If I didn't have you
If you need some transportation
From a world of tribulation
Tell me your destination
I'll be - I'll be your ride 
If you're out of inspiration
All you feel is desperation
Consider this an invitation
CHORUS
I'll be - I'll be your ride
We'll get a runing start and we'll take to the sky baby
Ride
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the prize
And ride
And when the world that you've created
Has got you feeling tired and jaded
Get your spirits elevated
Dig down - way deep inside
And when you're feeling scorned and hated
Under appreciated
And your guiding light has faded
I'll be
CHORUS
SOLO
And when you call but they don't remember
When your mail says return to sender
Keep the faith baby don't surrender
I'm on your side
I'll be your - I'll be your
I'll be - I'll be your ride
Shadow boxing in my head again
Lying here beside you in the dark
Making mountains out of nothin'
Hoping against hope
And making deals with God
Then I feel you stir beside me
And you don't say a word
But still I know
And in your eyes I see the reason
In your smile I see the road that takes me home
In my heart I know the answer
That all the things I looked so hard to find
Were right here all along - right here all along
Sometimes life can make you tired
You get so used to being on your own
Looking for something to count on (Something to count on baby)
Wishing for a love that's carved in stone
But I can hear you through my worry
Your voice is telling me "let go"
CHORUS
When I needed someone to count on
You were right here all along
When I needed someone to lean on
You were right here all along
And when I needed a hand to hold
You were right here all along
And when I thought I had nobody baby
You were right here all along
CHORUS x2
I needed a hand to hold
Needed shelter from the cold
I needed a hand to hold
You give me shelter from the cold baby yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Just when I thought I had nobody baby
You were right here all along
And when I thought I had nobody, babe
You were right here all along
8. Wishful
thinking:
I will wait for you
Like I promised I would do
Although it brings me pain
And you always knew
What to say to lead me to
Believe it's not in vain
I was safe and secure
When you were with me
But it only could last
'Til the day that she
Took you back again
CHORUS
So I get by
On wishful thinking
That when you come home
You'll want to stay
Give me your hand
Save me from sinking
Another day
Of wishful thinking
Sometimes it's lonely
And faith don't come easy
And dreams begin to fade
Then you reassure me
How good it's gonna be
When you come back someday
You said you'd be back
After you said goodbye
I have to believe
That it wasn't a lie
And you'll be here again
CHORUS
I was safe and secure
When you were with me
But it only could last
'Til the day that she
Took you back again
CHORUS
Another day of wishful thinking
Give me your hand
Save me from sinking
9. Shades
of grey:
I was an August baby
Conceived by the Christmas lights
I came into the world by the setting sun
On a humild summer night
When my grandmother held me for the very first time
She thanked God I looked like my daddy
And I never quite knew just what she meant
But I knew she was a little too happy
And now I see
CHORUS
You can't change a stubborn mind
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind
What does it matter anyway
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey
They got married in a tiny chapel
1965
Malcolm X was on the radio
When he took her as his wife
And she looked so pretty that September day
And her older brother cried as he gave her away
And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say
And then he spoke
CHORUS
SOLO
And when my grandmother held me
For the very first time
She thanked God I looked like my daddy
And I never gave a damn just what she meant
But I knew she was a little too happy
And now I see
You can't change a stubborn mind
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind
What does it matter anyway
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of
Darkest hour we're all just
Shades of grey - Hey, Hey, Hey
It doesn't matter anyway
Don't give a damn
Don't give a damn
Don't give a damn what they say
We're all just shades of grey
We're all just shades of grey
Shades of grey
10. Give
up giving in:
I always think about you
I always will
I always wonder what might've been
If we could get time to just stand still
Oh well
It was the right train
But I guess we must've been off track
And I've been waiting for so long
But now I know you're never coming back
CHORUS
So I'll give up giving in
Quit playing this game I can't win
I wish I could stop
But I don´t know where to begin
I wonder how you slipped away
I wonder why
I always wonder if there's a chance
That maybe you know what this is like
It's like a bloodstain
And it's spreading across my chest
And I've been bleeding for so long
I think this heart of mine deserves a rest
CHORUS
And now the wolf is at my door
And it's never gonna be like it was before
And I have cried 'til I'm insane
Now my head is getting cloudy
It's shrouded in this pain
And so I'll give up giving in
Quit playing this game I can't win
I wish I could stop
But I don't know how
To give up giving in
Quit playing this game I can't win
I wish I could stop
But I don't know how
To begin
Gotta give up
It's never gonna be
Like it was before
The wolf is at my door
Gotta give up
11. Best
of me:
Drop those flowers - back away slowly
You jumped in thinking this was holy water
Well surprise surprise
This is not a test
Welcome to the party
I've been on my best behaviour but I think it's time
You saw the other side
CHORUS
I'm a tough game that no one can master
I'm a tall tale no one believes
I'm a long dark night with no morning after
Lucky you
You get the best of me
Brand new day - honeymoon's over
Peace and quiet puts me in a coma anyway
It's just a waste of time
This is not a dream
Do you get the picture
I know I may seem peculiar
Baby gimme time
'Cause when I hit my stride
CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS
I'm a tough tough game that no one can master
I'm a tall tall tale no one believes
I'm a long dark night with no morning after
I'm a thundercloud when you're out at sea
And if you try to run
Baby I can run faster
Lucky you
You get the best of me
12. Never
said goodbye:
I got a friend
He lives down in old Alburquerque
We used to watch the sun coming up together
But he was hungry then
And he got restless
I heard he took a wife
I think her name is Heather
CHORUS
All of a sudden I'm driving in the rain
With the Santa Fe horizon
Calling out my name
Should've done it sooner
Now I know it's time
'Cause we said a lot of things baby
But we never said goodbye
We were a team
We were the best of friends
We had a world where no one else could find us
The summer passed
September came to soon
And suddenly that world was all behind us
CHORUS 2
Driving through the desert
With nothing on my mind
But the though of catching up
With a ghost I left behind
Don't know what I'll do
But I know I've got to cry
'Cause we said a lot of things baby
But we never said goodbye
I drove 1000 miles
Chasing a memory
But all the pieces of what used to be have scattered
And all the little things
That used to mean so much
I look around me now and see that they don't matter
CHORUS 3
All of a sudden I'm driving home again
'Cause sometimes goodbye is better left unsaid
The Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why
I said a lot of things to you
But I never said goodbye
13. Out
of bounds:
Standing on the edge of time
Playing out a reckless pantomime
And every day's another wrong to rectify
I dream about a stranger's touch
And voices in my head I cannot hush
And every night's a hunger I can't satisfy
CHORUS
It's the secret that I keep
It's the ache that makes me weep
And I know I'm in too deep
I'm gonna drown
It's the emptiness I fear
Baby, please don't leave me here
'Cause I'm lost inside a dream
That's out of bounds
I close my eyes and it's so real
And all at once I know just what I feel
And baby it's the kind of rush that terrifies
I am weak - I am wrong
And every day I swear that I'll be strong
But there's a bond between us that I can't deny
CHORUS
I wanna surrender
I wanna give in
I wanna lay down and let it be now
And let it begin
Let it begin
It's the secret that I keep
It's the ache that makes me weep
And I know I'm in too deep
I'm gonna drown
It's the emptiness I fear
Baby, please don't leave me here
'Cause I'm lost inside a dream
That's out of bounds
