HANG ON HOLD ON

Never look back girl
Into the eyes of love
If they catch you dreaming
They make the rain come down
After the rain comes
After the wind blows
Look up to blue skies
I told you so, I told you so

Hang On and Hold On
Hang On and Hold On
If you hold on, you will always find a way

That was a good one
But everybody’s wonderful plan
Won’t hold together
So baby stop crying

Stand your ground baby
You won’t be wounded for long
Even the weak get stronger
I told you so, I told you so

Hang On and Hold On
Hang On and Hold On
If you hold on, you will always find a way

Come on back girl
You don’t have to live in a dream
Deep in your midnight hour
It hurts so much you believe
Stand on baby
Baby stand on
Stand on baby
Love, love, love, love

Hang On and Hold On
Hang On and Hold On
If you hold on, you will always find a way

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO FEEL

Used to be the losers might win

Used to be the sun shine in
Used to be a blowin’ wind
Came with an answer

Used to be a light in my soul
Used to be a rock and roll
Somebody knocking on my door
Never an answer

Am I the dark clouds over the fields
Or the sun coming down
Washing through the hills
I don’t know how to feel
I don’t know how to feel
High
Cry

Used to be a light unto the world
Used to be a flag unfurled
Used to be the only girl
Take me away

Sometimes a feeling just dies
Sometime you apologize
Sometimes you can get so wise
You can’t find an answer


Am I the dark clouds over the fields
Or the sun coming down
Washing through the hills
I don’t know how to feel
I don’t know how to feel
High…(makes me want to )…Cry

Used to be that love was all you need
Someone took a bullet for that dream
Looking something in between
Find you an answer

Am I the dark clouds over the fields
Or the sun coming down
Washing through the hills
Am I the dark clouds over the fields
Or the sun coming down
Washing through the hills
I don’t know how to feel
I don’t know how to feel
High…(makes me want to )…Cry
High…(makes me want to )…Cry
You make me want to....

SETTING SUN

I get out in the setting sun
Hiding from the lunatics and everyone
You did wrong but the wrong is done
What do you do when you’re lost and lonely?
What do you do?
When the sun gets out
Get out too

I just howl at the setting sun
Looking like a photograph of everyone
You did wrong but the wrong is done
What do you do when you’re lost and lonely?
What do you do?
When the sun gets out
Get out too

And you’d best believe
And you’d best behave
Or you drop down to that dark afraid

Don’t get caught by the setting sun
You could get respectable like everyone
And go on and on and on
What do you do when you’re lost and lonely?
What do you do?
When the sun gets out
Get out too

BLUE RAIN

BLUE RAIN

Sat up with your picture,
a ghost
and a bottle of pain
The light went weak with the cold,
the blue and the rain
I remember your face when you came to this town
Said never look back and don't you look down today
Not today
Not today

Well there ain't no strings I can use to pull it together
It's just a small dark frame and you left the picture forever
I remember your face when you came to my door
Said close your eyes can't see me anymore today
Not today

Cause I have nothing
And I hold nothing but rain
Blue Rain

You're the echo on the street
Like the wind
You're the 25th hour
Just legs beneath a dress
You're nothing
Nothing but power

I remember your face when you came to my room
Said turn off the light and watch the moon today
Not today

Cause I have nothing
And I hold nothing but rain
Blue Rain

Sat up with your picture,
a ghost
and a bottle of pain
The light went weak with the cold,
the blue and the rain
I remember your face when you came to this town
Said never look back and don't you look down today
Not today
Not today
Not today

Cause I have nothing
And I hold nothing but rain
Blue Rain

I remember your face when you came to this town
Said never look back and don't you look down today
Not today
Not today
Not today

THE BAND

After a while you start to lose sight of yourself
Whoever's poison it wasn't so good for your health
Open a window and wish it on somebody else

And The Band Plays On
Hear The Slow Parade of Tears
And The Band Plays On for Years

After a while you start to lose sight of your friends
Everyone's scared of a monster when there's no defense
Look at those children Oh the innocence

And The Band Plays On
Hear The Slow Parade of Tears
And The Band Plays On for Years
And The Band Plays On
In a moment they'll be here
And The Band Plays ...

After the sounds of the crowd/turnaround/fade away
Stars coming down just to glitter the end of your day
Then in the moment you wish you had words to say

And The Band...

And The Band Plays On
Hear The Stoned Parade of Tears
And The Band Plays On for Years
And The Band Plays On
And the music disappears

FRONT DOOR

I left on Friday when there was no sky
No leaves were falling, no one passing by
So long ago I can’t remember why
On solid rock I was pathetic sand
I’m out of time and now I’m out of hand
I fell so hard I couldn’t feel the pain
I come home bleeding through the pouring rain
I couldn’t come away with less than your name
An empty floor across an empty room
If I come crawling back it’s way too soon.

I’ve been knocking on your front door
I can’t tell your face anymore
You say you love me but you’re just not sure
Knock knock knocking on your front door

I feel my fingers like its trigger time
I’m not in touch if you can’t touch my mind
Hey you ain’t givng no sight to the blind
I spent a lifetime just to get to you
If you won’t open up I’m coming through

I’ve been knocking on your front door
I can’t tell your face anymore
You say you love me but you’re just not sure
Knock knock knocking on your front door

I spent a lifetime just to get to you
If you won’t open up I’m coming through

I’ve been knocking on your front door
I can’t see your face anymore
You say you love me but you’re just not sure
Knock knock knocking on your front door

I say now knock knock knock
Your front door
I say now knock knock knock
Your front door
I say now knock knock knock
Your front door
Knock knock knocking on your front door
