In these troubled times today
Everyone just falls to grey
Burned-out, blurry photographs
Alluding to a simple past
Through her eyes the world is fire
City noises form the choir
She finds her peace in melody
October leaves us fallen red
As we fall far from grace
October hears us call on fate
What’s left beyond this place
Beyond my broken days…
I reserve the energy
For everything that’s in between
Once a dreamer and a clown
Nine to five has watered-down…
October leaves us fallen red
As we fall far from grace
October hears us call on fate
What’s left beyond this place?
Beyond my broken days?
And who have I become
And who have I ever been?
Where has the passion gone?
Gone and lost my way again
Give me faith
Give me time
Give me space
Give me life

I can write a clever song
i can think of yesterday
close my eyes and you're near me
i can answer all the questions
i can try to get along
i only hope you can hear me
Now - as the hour-hand passes time
one chapter awaits... but it's not mine
I can walk into the ocean
i can stare up at the sky
still their secrets avoid me
we can talk about the weather
we can stop and wonder why
but it will not destroy me
now as the hour hand passes ten
the knowledge i seek eludes me again...
I'm reading from your book
reading every line
searching for an answer
but the questions multiply
Reading from your book
i'm reading every line
searchin for an answer
but the questions multiply
I ask myself why - but i get no reply...
we could talk about an ending
we could try to compromise
but this doesn't seem clearer
we can talk until we scream
we can scream until we cry
well it won't bring you nearer to me
as the hour hand fades away
can we have a tomorrow if we don't have today?
We don't have...we don't have today
[Chorus]

Call me crazy but I
Say this to the world:
‘I hope you’re ready’
Is anybody out there
Listening to my humble words?
I know. I’ve said it
Yea, I said it
Chorus
I’ve only got
One chance to be
One song to sing
One million dreams washing over me
One real belief
One heart to bleed
One day to seize opportunity
When the cabaret is done
A thousand verses have been sung
And I’ll be one – I’ll be one…
Here before you stands
A slave of inhibition
Liberated
Long before me stood
My hero, my musician
Understated
[Chorus]
You say you lost your way
You think you lost the war
Something undone, something unsure
Somewhere along I recall
[Chorus]

Where does she go
To get away from me?
The unfamiliar silence sings to me
And breaks a peaceful sleep – I lie awake
The morning rain, it echoes
On my window pane, and it seems to me
She’s gone away today.
What have we done
By acting selfishly?
Stripped the sky of all her stars
To cast our wishes in the sea – they’re washed away
Carefully I’ve mended
Pieces of myself to carry on
I’ve gone the quiet way.
Before you make your grand escape
I’ve got one thing to say:
Don’t walk away from me
You’ve taken me all wrong
Don’t walk away from me
Until I’ve had a chance to try and make it right
Where do we go from here
When you beg me to believe and walk away from me
Away from me…
Whatever you do
Think it through logically
Don’t let the demon in your mind
Throw spiteful speech into the wind – push it away
The pattern of our ways must change
We’ll make it through despite the pain
Find the missing pages of
Our story, then decide…
[chorus]
Leave the past up on a shelf
Bottled-up and broken
Along with a thousand promises
in losing you, I’ve lost myself
In sentences unspoken
Not quite as lonely as the darkness is
Don't walk away...
maybe it's all in the way you move me
(or maybe it's just in the way you move)
either way, this goes far beyond your beauty
(that probably explains why we're both so confused)
I’ve been drowning in the depth of the thoughts
that consume my troubled mind
but every time I think about the fire
surrounding us, i can't help but smile
Chorus:
if things were different
maybe in another life
we've got our wishes
but i still won't resist you
when i close my eyes at night
tell me your secrets
and i'll gladly tell you mine
I got this feeling but i...
i can't keep it inside
maybe it's all in the way you understand
every little thing that helps me breathe.
And maybe we've rented out a room in a castle made of sand
Undertow’s gonna pull us off our feet
Should have known better than to
Try to deny what’s pouring out of me
Should I just let her hold tight and
Explore all my possibilities?
***chorus***
{solo}
If things were different
Maybe in another
We’ve got our wishes
But I still won’t resist you
when I close my eyes at night
Tell me your secrets
I’ll gladly tell you mine
I got this feeling but…..I
