Style 04:37
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

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

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

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. rpt

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

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?

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
