Style

Oh I can’t sleep tonight, too many thoughts going round my head
Dreaming of days gone by, all the things I did and said
Yeah you’re a friend of mine and I promised myself I wouldn’t be unkind
Yeah you’re the choice I’ve made and reminiscing is not my style
Yeah I want you to stay for a while till the loving starts
You’re really more my style
I have had other lovers, I loved them in my way.
Confused by sudden changes , no matter what my friends might say
We two have something different, they see it in my smile
And in the way that I talk, I think I’ve found my style
Baby won’t you stay for a while till the loving starts
You’re really more my style
I like the way that you dress, I love the taste of your breath
I want you to undress, I’ll do my best to impress.
Won’t you please rest a while, after travelling all these miles?
I’ve missed you very badly, I’ve fallen for you madly
Yeah I want you to stay for a while till the loving starts
You’re really more my style (rpt)

Down The Sea
05:17

At times I've seen you standing there
Down by the sea without a care
I love to watch you watching
Sometimes I don't know if you know I'm there
She's standing by the sea
I think she's watching
I can't believe it, nobody need say anything.
chorus:
Sea green eyes, pass the time
Why don't we go back to the time, down the sea?
Seabirds fly, drunk like wine
Down my spine, let's walk the line down the sea
At times I've seen you standing there
Down by the sea without a care
Unaware I'm watching
I'm aware I want for nothing
Sea shells and seeds are treasure
A tiny seabird's feather
But when I go to touch it
I know I don't know what it is.
chorus:
Sea green eyes, pass the time
Why don't we go back to the time, down the sea?
Seabirds fly, drunk like wine
Down my spine, let's walk the line down the sea

Cherry blossom
I call you a Summer's Girl
Dusky Rose
Down a dusty road
Hyacinth girl
Summer's child
You are ever my love
Invite me in
Let me stay a while
Dusky Rose
You can make me smile
Hyacinth girl
I call you the Summer's Rose
you are ever my love

Come Away with Me.
03:28
|

It's a week before you visit me and the time's at hand
I'll do anything to make it right, hope you understand
Come away, come away, come away with me
Come away, come away, come away with me
And the fist thing that I want to do is take you to the sand
Take you to the Esplanade, walk along the strand
Come away, come away, come away with me
Come away, come away, come away with me
We'll find so many ways to spend the hours
It's just the start of Spring; season of flowers
Come away, come away, come away with me
Yeah it's a week before you visit me and the time is nigh
But you visit me in my dreams when I close my eyes
Come away, come away, come away with me
Come away, come away, come away with me
And the sea won't wait for any one, even you and me
We'll leave footprints in the sand but the sea remains the sea
Come away, come away, come away with me
Come away, come away, come away with me
We'll find so many ways to spend the hours
It's just the start of Spring; trees and flowers
Come away, come away, come away with me

One In A Million
05:20
|

The moon is up and the waves are low
Is it a dream?
I catch your wave and i come in slow
Is it a dream?
I see it all when my eyes are closed
Is it a dream?
I'm trying hard but it's hard to grow
Is it a dream?
Chorus:
Will you stay by my side?
Can I catch a ride with you?
Like a wave in the night,
Can I catch a ride with you?
Cos I'm peopled out,
Can I catch a ride with you?
Yeah I'm riding a wave,
One in a million
The sun is down but we catch the glow,
Is it enough?
Must I forget everything I know,
is it enough?
The waves are high and I come in slow,
Is it enough?
the waves fight me, blow by blow
Chorus:
Will you stay by my side?
Can I catch a ride with you?
Like a wave in the night,
Can I catch a ride with you?
Cos I'm peopled out,
Can I catch a ride with you?
Yeah I'm riding a wave,
One in a million

Distant Regard
03:54
|
|||
I came in the summer, I watched you closely, watched you pass by.
Stayed for the summer, you caught my eye, i followed you.
Strange how it happens, suddenly it's show and tell and it's love,
And who knows how long? We've come this far.
CH:
I used to love you with a distant regard, now it's happening.
I used to hold you with a distant regard
A kind of love, love tempered with a distant regard
I always liked you, always held you with a distant regard
Now it's so much more, here I am at your door.
Yeah I always admired you, think I always looked up to you
Strange, yeah i always desired you,
Didn't think i could hold on to you
Walked down different highways, different lanes and different byways.
Strange, i think i always loved you
Never thought you'd remember me more than with
CH;
A distant regard
now it's happening.
I used to hold you with a distant regard
A kind of love, love tempered with a distant regard
I always liked you, always held you with a distant regard
Now it's so much more, here I am at your door.

Like Dying
04:32
|
|||
When the mother leaves her children
With no one there to protect them
It's so hard for the children
No one there to instruct them
A child has many feelings
Most of them are so revealing
When the mother leaves her children
With no one there
Feels like dying
It feels like dying
I was young when I lost my mother
Mother's sisters, mother's brothers
She left me with my brother, and my sister, and my father
I loved my older sister
She tried so hard to protect us
She was a little girl
And she could not defend us
It feels like dying
It feels like dying

What Is it For?
05:10
|

The rain falls and the soul flies
What is it for? Come round and pass the time.
The wind blows and the soul flies.
What is it for? Tell me what's on your mind.
Don't keep it all inside, no don't you run and hide.
What is it for?
The birds fly in a dark sky
What is it for? I've made up my mind.
The wind blows and the soul flies.
What is it for? Only to fantasise.
Don't keep it all inside, no don't you run and hide.
What is it for?
It's gotten late and I'm so tired.
What is it for? I've got you on my mind.
The ocean's deep and it's so wide.
What is it for? Only to catch the tide.
I can't keep it all inside, no place to run and hide.
What is it for?

Leave it Alone
03:20
|

To be happy is so fine
Cos I like it on my mind
The rain is coming down and I'm soaked to the bone
And I'd like to talk but today, leave it alone.
Sunshine would be fine
Cos I like it on my mind
I don't need to say it again, I know that you know
And I'd like to talk but today, leave it alone
Well I went outside, walked around in the rain
I walked around until I felt happy again
But it's sad on the streets when there's trouble at home
And I'd like to talk but today, I'll leave it alone
To be happy is so fine
Cos I like it on my mind
The rain is coming down and I'm chilled to the bone
And I'd love to talk but today, I'll leave it alone
Well I went outside, walked around in the rain
I walked around until I felt happy again
But it's sad on the streets when there's trouble at home
And I'd like to talk but today, I'll leave it alone
