I'm walking in darkness

With no shadows

Tears fall in silence

With no sound

I've got to let

Of visions I've outgrown

Even I know

But it hurts

So let the rain come down

Bring down the moon

The mythic and mighty that fall when you lean

Bring down the moon

Building love

On thin air and dreams

Perfect love is a desperate creed

And one that we all try to believe

So bring down the moon

I'm finding some comfort

In closing the distance

Between my life

And my dreams

If love's not forever

I need to discover

The spirit of romance and magic

In living from day to day

Bring down the moon

The mythic and mighty that fall when you lean

Bring down the moon

Building love

On thin air and dreams

Perfect love is a desperate creed

Still we keep trying to believe

So bring down the moon

Well there's no guarantee

That there ever will be

Perfect love

So let the rain come down

I know that it hurts

Cause I used to believe

I know how it hurts

Bring down the moon

The mythic and mighty

That fall when you lean

Bring down the moon

Building love

On thin air and dreams

Perfect love

There's no guarantee

And still we believe

Perfect love

So bring down the moon

Bring down the moon

I hear your name whispered on the wind

It's a sound that makes me cry

I hear a song blow again and again

Through my mind and I don't know why

I wish I didn't feel so strong about you

Like happiness and love revolve around you

Trying to catch your heart

Is like trying to catch a star

So many people love you baby

That must be what you are

Waiting for a star to fall

And carry your heart into my arms

That's where you belong

In my arms baby yeah

I've learned to feel what I cannot see

But with you I lose that vision

I don't know how to dream your dream

So I'm all caught up in superstition

I want to reach out and pull you to me

Who says I should let a wild one go free

Trying to catch your heart is like

Trying to catch a star

But I can't love you this much baby

And love you from this far

Waiting for a star to fall

And carry your heart into my arms

That's where you belong

In my arms baby yeah

Waiting (however long)

I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you)

It's so hard waiting (don't be too long)

Seems like waiting makes me love you even more

Waiting for a star to fall

And carry your heart into my arms

That's where you belong

In my arms baby yeah

Waves out on the ocean

Crashin on the shore

A strong wind blows through our love

Whippin up a storm

When I felt it coming

It chilled me to the bone

All I wanna do is go out runnin tonight

Breathing fire into the cold unknown

I wanna run away now I wanna stay

Don't know my own heart anymore

If I could find peace then I would retrace

Every step til the day I was born

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Ride it out ride it in

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

I'm not gonna lose again

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Cause it's changin again

I swam out in the ocean of love

To soothe my achin soul

But warm love is not enough

To drown the trouble I hold

I gave away the precious things

That I should call my own

My heart, my soul, my hopes, my dreams

And I'm starin at an empty hole

I recognize the look in these eyes

I've felt this way before

I've gotta face what I can't erase

Or these ghosts will return to my door

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Ride it out ride it in

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

I'm not gonna lose again

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Ride it out ride it in

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

No other way to win

I got to sink or swim

Oh oh stormy love

Could I find love again

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Ride it out ride it in

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

I'm not gonna lose again

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Ride it out ride it in

I'm gonna rise above this stormy love

Is anybody out there in love

Let me hear it from your heart

It's a great thing to be in love and be loved

Is anybody out there in love

I wanna know

Got to know

You say the shiver you used to feel

When I kissed behind your ear it's no longer there

Dove in the river didn't we glisten in the moonlight

We floated down then it was forever

We always said hey you never know never know

I thought I did except for this note you left last night

Sayin you don't love me anymore

Just hit me square see I never heard that one before no no

No I never heard that one before no no

Is anybody out there in love

Let me hear it from your heart

It's a great thing to be in love and be loved

Is anybody out there in love

I wanna know

Got to know

(You say it's time for this to end

I guess I'd rather not pretend)

I'm glad you'd rather not pretend

I wonder how long have I been with a stranger

At a time like this I feel the biggest fool

So when we kissed and held each other

I see my intuition was all wrong

No I couldn't see something you knew all along no no

I couldn't let myself see

Is anybody out there in love

Let me hear it from your heart

It's a great thing to be in love and be loved

Is anybody out there in love

I wanna know

I just wanna hear about real love tonight

Tell me about good love oh

All I wanna hear about is true love

Is anybody out there

Is anybody out there in love

Let me hear it from your heart

It's a great thing to be in love and be loved

Is anybody out there in love

Had a vision of you

Before you came

And I turned you away

I never will again

Didn't recognize you

Didn't hear your name

I feel a lot clearer

Than I did then

If you care to try again

You'll find my heart wide open

If I hear you call again

You'll find my heart wide open

You stay forever

Forever love

You stay forever

Forever love

I understand now

It's me you chose

Cause I know about love

But I've never been this close

You rescued my heart

From a lonely road

Of any single soul

I think I love you most

If you care to try again

You'll find my heart wide open

If I hear you call again

You'll find my heart wide open

You stay forever

Forever love

You stay forever

Forever love

Anytime anywhere

Soul to soul

I'll be there

You'll find my heart wide open

You stay forever

Forever love

You stay forever

Forever love

Here it comes again

You start wishing for the old times

When love was easy

Here it comes again

You start to wonder if it's you or him

Who stopped believing

Is it love

Is it blind

Does it hurt to unwind

Will you run will you hide

Will it pass away with time

Pass away with time

If you run

The same thing waits for you

If you run

A new place with the same old view

If you run

The same heart beats

If you run

The story repeats

If you run

Can't remember when

You're less like lovers and more like friends

Cause you let it slide

If this is where it ends

Where's the mercy do you have to try it

Time and time again

Don't know what

Lies behind

If you look will you find

Deeper love

Bigger lies

Or a wound that heals with time

Will you heal with time

If you run

The same thing waits for you

If you run

A new place with the same old view

If you run

The same heart beats

If you run

The story repeats

If you run

We missed before

And we missed again

I want you now

And you wanted me then

I'm chasing down the shadow of one sweet dream

But I'm so far behind there's no way that I can win

Better leave it to twist in the wind

What if I never touch you again

Too late my baby

Oh my baby

One sweet dream falls apart

But I still feel the beat of my heart

And the motion is still in my feet

So I'll just let it carry me down

To another sweet dream

To another sweet dream

To another sweet dream

To another sweet dream

Love washed in

When I saw you

I shut my eyes

And you looked right through

Windows should open but so few do

Cause we think we have too much to lose

Silence is one way to bury the truth

So you leave it to twist in the wind

Knowing I'll never touch you again

Too late my baby

Oh my baby

One sweet dream falls apart

But I still feel the beat of my heart

And the motion is still in my feet

So I'll just let it carry me down

To another sweet dream

To another sweet dream

To another sweet dream

To another sweet dream

You come into my dream

I find you there I love you then

Bodies that feel no pain

That feel know fear that feel no shame

Love is the only aim

Wanna fan the fire wanna break the chain

Darkness is shattering

When the light pours in when it's skin on skin

In this place I have no name

Only time only now and nothing to explain

Love is the only aim

(George Merrill / Shannon Rubicam)

You want to give me everything

Captivate me with a pretty ring

Love should be easy

This is what you say

You treat me like the sweetest thing

But I know you're gonna clip my wings

No more romancing

No more carefree dancing

After you've made your claim you've made your claim

I want to break free

With no apologies oh oh

I want to break free

With no apologies oh oh

I love the soul behind your smile

Until you plave my heart on trial

You want me to swear

Life begins and ends here

Your love really drives me wild

And I think we could be reconciled

Til I rememeber

If I surrender

I set all my dreams aside set them aside

I want to break free

With no apologies oh oh

I want to break free

With no apologies oh oh

I don't want your shelter I'm breakin free

And right now this matters so much to me

You want to give me everything

Captivate me with a pretty ring

Love should be easy

This is what you say

You treat me like the sweetest thing

But I know you're gonna clip my wings

No more romancing

No more carefree dancing

After you've made your claim you've made your claim

I want to break free

With no apologies oh oh

I want to break free

With no apologies oh oh

There you are

Thinkin one love will get you through all time

Something goes

You know what

But you don't know where

Passion takes a train

And love takes the blame

So dream on restless dreamer

Dream on restless dreamer

My restless dreamer

It's a surprise

When you hear your own self tellin little lies

Wishing you could stop

Still you do not

Cause you're under another's spell

Passion takes a train

And love takes the blame

So dream on restless dreamer

Dream on restless dreamer

My restless dreamer

Sometimes it's better

And sometimes nothing's changed just the faces and the names

Who play the same games

And they make you feel ashamed

Cause all you wanted was a perfect lover

Passion takes a train

And love takes the blame

So dream on restless dreamer

Dream on restless dreamer

My restless dreamer

Dream on restless dreamer

What do I overlook

To write these songs of love

Do I overlook the pain

Overlook the sorrow

Do I overlook the one's

Who can't hang on til tomorrow

What I feel is love

Cause it cools the pain

When you're caught in the flood

Someone's got to send

Shelter from the rain

Someone's got to cry

Someone's got to shout

Someone's got to send out love

Someone's got to cry

Someone's got to shout

Someone's got to send out love

What do I overlook

To write these songs of love

Do I overlook the pain

Overlook the sorrow

Do I overlook the ones

Who can't hang on til tomorrow
