Hope I Don't Wake (Hackett)
Hope I don't wake in the morning Find you running right away Every hour I'm down and worried Dream about it night and day To many places you can go When drowning in your sleep But no one wants to lie awake For hours counting sheep I'm fine what about you OK tell me the news We all know how to fight When there's something to lose In my mind I feel elation - oh, oh oh Hope I don't wake in the morning Find you running right away Every hour I'm down and worried Dream about it night and day For many days I know you'll go Surrounded by four walls By yourself you'll stay inside Behind your own front door I'm fine what about you OK tell me the news We all know how to fight When there's something to lose In my mind I feel elation - oh, ooh ooh Hope I don't wake in the morning Find you running right away Every hour I'm down and worried Dream about it night and day Well I need to be on my way Hope to get through another day Well you know what shape I'm in And it seems I can never win Oh oh Hope I don't wake in the morning Find you running right away Every hour I'm down and worried Dream about it night and day
Picture Postcard (Hackett)
Don't want a picture To pin upon my wall Just want someone to Help me forget that's all I don't want to be here on my own Hungry as a dog without a bone Don't want a postcard Showing some distant view Just want someone to Laugh when I blow a fuse I don't want to be here on my own Hungry as a dog without a bone And I don't want to be alone I don't want to cry and moan Yeah and I don't want to be alone I don't want to cry and moan - I Nobody can hear a single word I say As I walk the floor Seems there's nothing more Time to go to sleep once more But in my dreams there's a place Where it's never too late I see nothing has changed And that's where you still remain (Don't want a picture, don't want a postcard...)
Can't Let Go (Hackett)
Your face is like an angel But what if you won't let me touch you You can change into a dragon But what if your flame is imagined Feel like I'm lying on a bed of nails You're taking the wind right out of my sails Can't let go, can't let go... I never hear you saying I'm giving you all of my loving I'm sure you've got a reason But one day you know I'll get even Feel like I'm lying on a bed of nails You're taking the wind right out of my sails Can't let go, can't let go... Yes I'm getting tired Playing diplomat Why is she always taking The shirt off my back Can't let go, can't let go...
Funny Feeling (Hackett/Magnus)
Hey it's no surprise you are going tonight Well alright, had a funny feeling I don't want to go on wasting your time Well alright, had a funny feeling That came the whole morning through It's not hard to do I'm just not getting through Don't live a lie I'd rather say goodbye Please don't explain No use pretending it's the same You don't have to tell me I've known it all day Well alright, had a funny feeling I don't see a happy ending coming our way Well alright, had a funny feeling That came the whole morning through It's not hard to do I'm just not getting through Don't live a lie I'd rather say goodbye Please don't explain No use pretending it's the same Really it's no surprise you are going tonight Well alright, had a funny feeling I don't want to go on wasting your time Well alright, had a funny feeling That came the whole morning through It's not hard to do I'm just not getting through Don't live a lie I'd rather say goodbye Please don't explain No use pretending it's the same
Overnight Sleeper (Hackett/Poor)
Beneath the scattered light Across bare hills of night I dreamt a train just missed me Another came in sight I ran across the track Then had to turn right back A new one came straight at me The next behind my back Nowhere else to turn to There's walls on either side Why must the embankment be so high Beside myself with weakness And faint from running wild I could hear the sound of Burning coal They never seem to stop But always get to smoke Right out between two tunnels I ran until I woke
Turn Back Time (Hackett)
I'm not on the ball Living in a world of so much change Thought that I might be much stronger When I'm far away from you What I'd give to learn to Turn back time Sometimes words are dancing Like caterpillars moving on a page I would send you all my letters Feels like living in a cage What I'd give to learn to Turn back time Your love is bound to see me through Your warmth is bound to find a way Your touch is all I really need Your smile the one and only key I'm not on the ball Living in a world of so much change Thought that I might be much stronger When I'm far away from you What I'd give to learn to Turn back time
