02 Drifting Away

Heard the street door slam and you were gone
I guess you've had enough and you just can't go on
Heard your heart breaking down a lonely avenue
But nobody knows down here what we've been going through

There's no use pretending everything's alright
There's no use in living this lie
I'm drifting away, drifting away, from you

Saw the world spinning round inside my mind
I tried my best to save us from those empty hands of time
I watched the nights fading turning into days
But nothing ever changes much when your love starts to fade

There's no use pretending everything's alright
There's no use in living this lie
I'm drifting away, drifting away, from you

Now the wind is blowing hard and I'm falling like the leaves
Tumbling to the ground, oh but I know that time will ease
I know faith is hard to find in a world so full of pain
But I keep on moving on till I find again

There's no use pretending everything's alright
There's no use in living this lie
I'm drifting away, drifting away, from you

03 Someday

I’ve seen the fire fade away
I’ve seen my time slipping away
I’ve watched the Angels fall from grace
I’ve seen lovers losing faith

I’ve watched the Oceans disappear
I’ve seen the shameless shed a tear
I’ve heard all I want to hear
I’m losing my hope round here

Someday
I’m gonna get on out of here

I’m gonna spread my wings
I’m gonna fly away
I’m gonna leave this town
I got to get away
I’m gonna burn my bridges
Down to the ground
I’m gonna take my soul
Where it can’t be found
Someday

I’ve found nothing in my time
To ease this restlessness inside
I’ve seen nothing with my eyes
To turn the darkness into light

I’ve got nothing to regret
I’ve got no one to forget
But I’ve got sorrow on my mind
I hope one day I might find

04 Old Friend

Hey my old friend, it’s been a long time you know
But I still think about you wherever I go
Where did you get to, in these years all to come
Are you still that old house, where our love used to run

Hey my old friend, did you marry that guy
You know the one, with a twinkling eye
And did he make you happy, just like I never could
Or turn out the same, girl, just like I said he would

Memories falling down, the wind is calling
Like the shadows of an old ghost at my door
It’s taking me back down every old lonesome track
‘Till I don’t know what I’m thinking anymore

Instrumental

Hey, my old friend, well how are your folks
You know that I’ve missed all the laughs and the jokes
Maybe someday girl, we’ll find the time to talk ‘bout the old days over a bottle of wine

Memories falling down, the wind is calling
Like the shadows of an old ghost at my door
It’s taking me back down every old lonesome track
‘Till I don’t know what I’m thinking anymore

Memories falling down, the wind is calling
Like the shadows of an old ghost at my door
It’s taking me back down every old lonesome track
‘Till I don’t know what I’m thinking anymore
Anymore

09 Betrayed

The moons out tonight, yeah but I'm staying home
I Don't need no street light, I just need time on my own
I think about the old days, when I was yours and you were mine
I think about those promises that somehow turned to lies

The days go by now and the world goes around
But I can't find no space though, cause I don't know where I'm bound
I think about tomorrow, when I'm gone and your not there
One day I'll find a reason, for what has happened here
For what has happened here

It's over now
This ship is sinking down and there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
You can't change a thing
When it all falls apart, just a tattered heart that grieves when it's been betrayed
When it's been betrayed

Time is a saviour, it can heal any wound
But the way I feel inside right now, I just don't want it to
Hey I wanna be alone yeah, I don't need no love since you've been gone
I can't face that feeling when everything seems wrong

Throwing stars into the river and I'm reaching for the stars
But anyway I'm turning, still that wind blows hard
Oh I don't want to understand, the reason why you left me here
Bringing down what we built up, through all those wasted years
All those wasted years

It's over now
This ship is sinking down and there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
You can't change a thing
When it all falls apart, just a tattered heart that grieves when it's been betrayed

Solo

It's over now
This ship is sinking down and there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
You can't change a thing
When it all falls apart, just a tattered heart that grieves when it's been betrayed

The moons out tonight, yeah, but I'm staying home
