SIDE BY SIDE
If I had but one last chance
To put it all on one last call
Or to find a grain of sand
Or a place so far, so far away
What a strange coincidence
Two strangers in a stranger land
Eating apples from the tree
What will be is meant to be
SIDE BY SIDE
You and I, together
By my side
You and I, alone

VELVET SKY
Undaunted sail, or no time to bale
It’s all, in your view, and conversation
It gets hard to say, as we go on from day to day
And it’s hard to lead the keel, you know, but...
Like the boundless sea
I hear you call to me you say, come to me, come along with me
In your VELVET SKY
You’ll always be my guide you know, that we’ll all soon get home somehow
A windswept bee, flies aimlessly
With no where to land no where to go
A sudden mystery, your direction lights the sea
And it turns and heads on home
You’re the northern star
I see you call from far away, come to me, come along with me
In your VELVET SKY
You’ll always be my guide you know, that we’ll all soon get home somehow

VENUS AS A BOY
(bjork)
His wicked, sense of humor, suggests exciting sex
His fingers, focus on her, he’s Venus, Venus as a boy
He’s exploring, the taste of her, arousal, so accurate
He sets off, the beauty in her, he’s Venus, Venus as a boy
He believes in beauty, he’s VENUS AS A BOY

So There For You

If the sun, in the sky seems out of place
And the moon, fails to show it’s face
And the stars, in the sky fall one by one
Brighter days, are on their way to you
Lighter ways, will be soon
So for now, know how, it’s nothing new
I’m SO THERE FOR YOU
If the sun, in the sky seems out of place
And the moon, fails to show it’s face
SO THERE FOR YOU, SO THERE FOR YOU
And the stars, in the sky fall one by one.
Broken heart, calling out someone
SO THERE FOR YOU, SO THERE FOR YOU
Brighter days, are on their way to you
Lighter ways, will be soon
SO THERE FOR YOU, SO THERE FOR YOU

SHELTER FROM A STORM
Sooner or later, we will open up a door
The innocent can be explored
You know, we’re on our way
Sooner or later, what new horizons will we see
In a clearing, there, with me
You know, we’re on our way
Like SHELTER FROM A STORM
keeping covered, feeling warm
Like SHELTER FROM A STORM
Sooner or later, we may be stranded out at sea
Whatever weather, what will be, will be
We’re on our way
Like SHELTER FROM A STORM
keeping covered, feeling warm
Like SHELTER FROM A STORM

SMOOTH OPERATOR
sade
Diamond life, lover girl
We move in space, with minimum waste, and maximum joy
City lights, and business nights
When you require, streetcar desire for higher highs
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left for chance
No place for beginners, but no place to start
No need to ask, she’s a
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Coast to coast, L. A. to Chicago, western girl
Across the north and south to Key Largo, love for sale
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box, and double cross, yet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all of your memories, change into gold
Her eyes are like angels, but her heart is cold
No need to ask, she’s a

ONE LOVE IS EVERYWHERE
When I look inside, it’s clear, so clear, to see that we’re together
Theirs no need to find the love, the love, it’s all that really matters
Love is here, and there
ONE LOVE IS EVERYWHERE
Take a look outside, it’s clear, so clear, the sky goes on forever
Theirs no need to find the love, the love, it’s all that really matters
Love is here, and there
ONE LOVE IS EVERYWHERE
In a million years, it’s clear, so clear, to see that we’re together
Love is here, and there
ONE LOVE IS EVERYWHERE

NO WAY HOME
Just yesterday, it seems like she came from a world, so safe and cradled
Now she’s alone, with no chaperone, as she walks throughout the night
Bad luck today, the dice ricocheted, two black eyes, they gaze upon her
Now all she sees, a glazed sympathy for the girl, who lost it all
NO WAY HOME, she feels theirs no way back home
Done are the days, of plans for a way, to be free, to see, a future
Lost in a dream, meth-amphetamine, now she walks throughout the night
NO WAY HOME, she feels theirs no way back home

MAKE A PLAN
Let’s MAKE A PLAN, make a plan together
Hand in hand, I’ll never let you go
We’ll take the plan, take the plan to forever
Hand in hand, I’ll never let you go
In winter time, and spring time
And when summer turns to fall
I’ll be there, and you’ll be there
As sure as the sun does rise, and fall
