You're always there to keep me straight When my little bubble starts to deflate You're always there to pull me down When my feet start to leave the ground And when I'm feeling down and insecure You're always there for sure So don't make me cry Don't tell me lies Please tell me true You know I love only you Say you love me too You're always there right by my side When my merry-go-round starts to over-ride You're always there on solid ground To grab the reins and slow me down Your horse whispers calm and reassure You ease my saddle sores So don't make me cry Don't tell me lies Please tell me true You know I love only you Say you feel it too I want you to be the one Who stops the ride and takes me home Church bells are gonna chime I want you to tell me no When I cry for another go Church bells are gonna chime So don't make me cry Don't tell me lies Please tell me true You know I love only you Say you love me too So don't make me cry Don't tell me lies Please tell me true You know I'm crazy over you Say you feel it too

All the things you gave to me remind me of the time I had with you All the things you gave to me are lying in my wardrobe out of view I never dreamed that you and me would end in just a song I thought I had it all this time it seems like I was wrong All the things you gave to me remind me how I meant so much to you Take me down a peg or three I'm trying hard to make it back to two It doesn't make much sense to me I know where I went wrong And now you're gone I think I see it didn't take me long And I don't wanna feel the pain, I need to stop this hurt inside It's driving me insane, so can't you tell me why All the things you gave All the things you gave I never thought that you and me would end in just a song I thought I had it all this time it seems like I was wrong And I don't wanna feel the pain, I need to stop this hurt inside It's driving me insane, so can't you tell me why And I don't wanna feel the pain, I need to stop this hurt inside It's driving me insane, so can't you tell me why All the things you gave All the things you gave

When I met you, you were like a child From the outside world you tried to hide How can you be so different now What did I do to make you doubt How can you treat me this way I only wish I knew And now as time slips away you disappear from view When I think of all the times we had And the good times far outweigh the bad Now memories are all we made But like your photograph in time they will fade Why did you leave me this way I only wanted you And now as day follows day I search for someone new 'Cos I'm so alone I should have known I should have known a long time ago But I've been such a fool so blind I know When you left we never said goodbye But the love you felt for me had died And though the tears have long since dried The pain still hurts me deep inside How can you treat me this way oh how I needed you And as the years pass I pray you'll need me someday too 'Cos I'm so alone I should have known I should have known

The low hung clouds affect my mood And darkness fills my every thought The only thing that pulls me through Is maybe some day things may change I want to see the sun I want to see Time stands still in eternity The world revolves but not for me The changing tides affect the sea Optimism holds the key I want to see the sun I want to see the sun (the sun shines down but my head is still obscured by clouds) But sunshine doesn't want to shine on me The bitter smile of fortune is false The fear of love tears you apart It's in the choices that she makes That brings you laughter or a tear I want to see the sun I want to see the sun *(the sun shines down but my head is still obscured by clouds) I want to see the sun *(the sun is missing and I'm wishing that you were here) I want to see * thank you Floyd

Tell Me 03:46
If I could find the words to say I'd tell you how I feel today But speech evades me words avoid me and I know it's all too late So I get angry and I shout but still my feelings won't come out I never meant to cause you pain it all just came out wrong again Tongue tied up no words to free me simple words that don't come easy I need to let you know so help me tell me what to say Tell me what to say If I could find the words to say I need you more each passing day If only you could read my mind you'd see the words I fail to find If there are words to tell you that I would die for you Help me find a way before I do Tell me what to say

Crying Heart 04:14

I know I grew up with you I never grew up is what you'd say but what can I do I was always the last you found Now when I need to I can't find you 'cos you're not around How the years pass by like sand in the wind Now the future is bright but the memories are dim Hey don't look so down Tears are tumbling down Smile away your frown I'll be right here on your Merry Go Round You were always your mother's pride She left you alone to fight but you never cried You were always the last to fall Now when I fall you don't pick me up, 'cos you never call How the years pass by like sand in the wind Now the future is bright but the memories are dim Hey don't look so down Tears are tumbling down Smile away your frown I'll be right here on your Merry Go Round I don't want to say too much I don't even try to understand I don't want to lay the blame at your door All I want to say to you is if you need a helping hand You don't have to cry alone anymore Hey don't look so down Tears are tumbling down Smile away your frown I'll be right here on your Merry Go Round

Bob and float, on the watery calm I can hear for miles around No one there to spoil the view for me A sudden stop, a gasp of air Black depths stare at me No one there to throw a rope for me Don't jump in my boat I'm bailing out my time is out Don't jump in my boat it's sinking An air of wetness smothers me I drink a pint of salty sea Someone out there shouting out to me Don't jump in my boat I'm bailing out, my time is out Don't jump in my boat it's sinking

You come and go as you please Expect me here on my knees It took me a million tears to see through your disguise It took me a thousand fears but believe me it's no surprise Anything I do is not enough Why am I so weak when times get tough How can I make you see it's not a stupid game You let me down again and then you let me take the blame I look into your eyes and I see blue skies And when I see you smile well it hurts my eyes You come and go as you please And still I'm here on my knees I look at you and see you're laughing at me 'Cos my desire for you is all you really need I look into your eyes and I see blue skies And when I see you smile well it hurts my eyes You make me laugh you make me cry You make me hurt and I don't know why You make me feel I'd run a thousand miles Just to see your sunshine smile

Come On Now 03:44
We had our time, but it was long ago You did a bad thing, I didn't need to know But you're on my mind all of the time We had our highs and lows but I know you had to go Come on now, which side of the road are you standing on You're gone now, how much of the load are you taking on The trust we had was gone, I know we had to split Your mind was made up, that was the end of it Now you're long gone, and now I'm on my own You're long gone, I guess I should have known Come on now which side of the road are you standing on You're gone now how much of the load am I taking on We had our time, but it was long ago I did a bad thing, you didn't need to know But you're on my mind all of the time We had our highs and lows but I know you had to go Come on now, which side of the road are you standing on You're gone now, how much of the load are you taking on Come on now which side of the road are you standing on You're gone now how much of the load am I taking on You're gone now You're gone now You're gone now But I'm here, always here, always home

All of this time wasting my time There was a time I resisted your call to me I couldn't see how it could be But your attempts at seduction defeated me Now I can eventually see that your symphony Was a means of supporting my head above water Until finally I couldn't breathe Once we were fine two of a kind But I was trying too hard not to fall apart I didn't know which way to go Then you came back and relit the flame in my heart Now I feel so right again I'm high as a kite again Now the old wounds are healing I know what I'm feeling Can more than make up for the pain Now everything is fine again I won't change my mind again Time heals it's true so let's start things anew Let us sing out our song once again One thing is true I'm lost without you But we can return to that magical time again Don't ever let go don't let me say no I can't live without you I know that you feel the same Now everything is fine again I won't change my mind again Time heals it's true so let's start out anew Let us sing out our chorus again Sun shining again Sun shining again You're all that I needed to set my heart beating again

It's all the same to you It's true I think it's time you realized It's not the same for me You see It's how you use it not the size Don't call me maggot anymore Not gonna have it anymore It's all the same to you It's true To the occasion I arise It's not the same for me Maybe It's a blessing in disguise Ain't gonna take it anymore Ain't gonna shake it anymore So don't call me maggot anymore Not gonna have it anymore Ain't gonna shake it anymore You don't need to fake it anymore Not gonna have it anymore So don't call me maggot anymore
