THE EARNEST OF BEING GEORGE

You better run just as fast as you can, I’ve got no reason to try.
You did it to me and I’m takin’ a stand. You’ve got a reason to cry.
Fairy stories in a penny arcade.
You bought my love and I paid.
I’m not trying to make history.
You could have been good to me.

You bought my love and I paid.
I’m not trying to make history.
You could have been good to me.
Spend my life makin’ my love to you. I’ve got no reason to try.
Got no making up for making you do. You’ve got no reason to cry.
Fairy stories in a penny arcade.
You bought my love and I paid.
I’m not trying to make history.
You could have been good to me.
You better run just as fast as you can.
You better run just as fast as you can…
WITH THE SUN IN MY EYES
***************
I do not need you. Nor do I listen to the words you say.
Strongly I heed you. But ev’ry promise seems to fade away.
Who is the clown that walks in the steps of my shadow?
Is it the man who does what he can but never does it right?
How can I prove? There is no reasoning or asking why.
Only to prove. I love you deeply with the sun in my eyes.

FLESH AND BLOOD
***************
I’m not that someone who’s got what you want
I can do nothing but watch what you do
You just want someone to kiss you good night
But lips are never enough to get you through
You stole my nights and you got your way
Now you got me dying inside , oh baby
Ebony don’t walk out on me
Listen to what I say
Pick up the pieces of my life into the night of day
How do you break this heart of steel
Nobody ever could
Open the pages of my life
I’m only flesh and blood
I’ll be your Savior but baby I swear
I’m not living my life over you
Some satisfaction you get if you dare
But is it ever enough to get you through
You stole my mind and you watch me fall
Now you leave the scene of the crime,oh no
Ebony don’t walk out on me
I never thought you could
I’m only what you make of me
I’m only flesh and blood
I’m only flesh and blood
When you’re gone , you’ll be leaving behind,
a broken man with something to hide
Oh, lost in the night in a town without pity
You learn how to cry. You learn how to cry
Ebony don’t walk out on me
Listen to what I say
Pick up the pieces of my life into the night of day
How do you break this heart of steel
Nobody ever could
Open the pages of my life
I’m only flesh and blood
Gone are the days that came and went
Houses are made of wood
Live in a world of sand and stone
I’m only flesh and blood
Ebony don’t walk out on me
I never thought you could
I’m only what you make of me
I’m only flesh and blood
MY LOVER’S PRAYER
***************
In the history of a life takes a heart
When the power of love comes together
There is nothing can tear us apart
And the touch of your hand I can feel
That what we got is stronger than steel
That’s when you hear
My lover’s prayer
It’s my own silent message to you
Takes me there, my lover’s prayer
And my soul is divided in two
With my love on the line
I send it all over the world
Out on the air, cause I can’t let go
And my heart has a mind of it’s own
It’s my lover’s prayer
It’s the mystery of a place blessed by us
And the moment of truth is forever
In the face of incredible odds
The look in your eyes tells me why
Let our words burn a sign in the sky
My lover’s prayer
It’s as easy as talking to you
All my life, having you there
In my own private vision come true
You’re heaven on earth
You’re the fire and all that I’m worth
And I can be strong, you hold the key
Don’t say it’s over, don’t say it’s over for me
My lover’s prayer
It’s as easy as talking to you
All my life having you there
In my own private vision come true
In my search for your love
I send it all over the world
It’s all I can bare and the nights get long
But my heart holds on, it’s no empty words
It’s my own silent message to you
Takes me there, my lover’s prayer
And my soul is divided in two
Cause I can’t let go
And my heart has a mind of it’s own
It’s my lover’s prayer
ALIVE
***************
Maybe you talk too high, man.
Maybe I talk too slow.
But you’ve got to live a little bit faster
’cause you’ve got a little less time to go.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the wind and make it blow the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell .
That I’m alive and that’s all.
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about the people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive .
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive , alive.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the world and make it go the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell.
That I’m alive and that’s all .
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about those people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive.
I know I should be going somewhere I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive, alive, alive.
2 YEARS ON
***************
One year, two years, time goes by.
People laugh and people cry.
Ev’ry morning the clock strikes eight.
I go to work. I close the gate.
And on my way, I sing a song.
About my wife, where I belong.
If the clouds get together and talk about the weather
If it’s rain they anticipate
Baby make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see.
Two years on . Two years on .
But only you can see me.
Only you can see me.
For what I’ve got
Sir Lancelot was just a dream and I am not
For I am he with something more
It’s you and I reality.
If the cloud get together and talk about the weather
If it’s rain they anticipate
Baby, make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see
Two years on . Two years on .
But only you can see me
Only you can see me
Two years on . Two years on .
Ah….
