STRANGE ROMANCE
 
 

YOU RAN AWAY
(T. Schmidt, Huss, Kurenbach)

All this temptation
You tried to give
When I was only looking
For a place to stay
I needed someone to share my heart
But now you tell me
You're going away
It should have been easier
To find a love
But now you've left me
Begging you to stay
You ran away
Leaving me all alone
You ran away
Now I've got no home
You ran away
Now I'm wandering 
Alone on this street
I'm searching every place
Where you could be...
You ran away
How could you leave me
With no place to stay?
You ran away
Didn't you know
I've got nowhere to go?


INSECURITY

(T. Schmidt, Huss)

Walking the street in the rain 
Always feeling so unsure
Everyone thinks they know everything
I've got mine and you've got yours
Insecurity
Takes control of me
Insecurity
Tears the heart of me
You see it in my eyes when I look up close
And I fear it when I hear your voice
What are you doing with your life?
I need to know
I need to know!
Isn't it true though
Coming through now
Insecurity


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LONELY ONE
(Kurenbach, Huss)

There's a place where lover's go
To try to see through all illusion
To share our thoughts like we wanted to
I try to hold on to all I need
For you
For you
You don't have to be the lonely one
No, you don't have to be the lonely one
And I can see when I look in your eyes
That sometimes you've been so afraid
If I can say there'll be no more lies
Is there a chance that you might stay
That you might stay?

GHOST CHILD

(Kurenbach, Huss)

I turn to go
Are you there?
Watching me 
So sad
So sad
When I call
Are you there?
Say you were
Say...


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

TEARS
(Kurenbach, Huss)

I saw you, watching
Your face in the dark
In the shadows, call for a name
Sometimes the deceit, some kind of lies
Did it mean anything?
See you in my dreams
It was a twist in the night 
You were alive to me
It was a hopefull sight
It wasn't said to be
And now I settle down
In a conscious state
And I know I can't
Because it's too late
Can I take it back?
Like a piece of fate
Look into my eyes, and don't you lie to me
It was only for a moment
It was only for a breath of time
Did it mean anything?
The touch of your flesh on mine
Now, I don't care where you are
No, I don't care where you are
But I know in my heart I'll try to find you
Now, I don't care where you are
It's just a kiss in the night
And now it's been a long time
Can I take it back? 
Your flesh on mine
These are the ties that bind 
These are the tears in my eyes
It was only a moment in time
It was only a look in your eyes
The measure of your kiss
A second of perfect bliss
These are the ties that bind
These are the tears in my eyes
Will you give it back to me?
Will you give me back my life?
I need that moment back
These are the tears in my eyes

TROUBLE IN MIND

(T. Schmidt, Huss)

Come into these arms of mine
Hold me in this far off place
We two together in security
Passion for your grace

Trouble in mind
Leading me far away
Trouble in mind
Until the light of day

In this foreign land
Trying to find the light
But this secret life won't let us go
Never let us go
Take me into this foreign land
Try to find the secret life


 


REMEMBER

(Kurenbach, Huss)

Your eyes are cold to me
I wander here alone
Will you remember?
Will you remember?
Will you remember me?
Remember

 

SEARCHING

(Kurenbach, Huss)

I've been taking some time
Trying not to look behind
All those things in the past
They were never made for you to last
If only I could, I would help you
But I'm too busy trying to help myself
I'm searching, and I'm searching
If only we had all the time in the world
If only we knew where we were going to
I want to...
I want to try to find another way
This isn't what I dreamed or intended
Is it you
Or me alone?
I would like to help you out
But I'm too busy trying to help myself
And I'm searching
But the time, the time is running out

 

SILENCE WAS A MELODY

(Kurenbach, Huss)

Silence was a melody
Snow had fallen to the ground
You were waiting like a lone shadow
As the cars drove on
Carnivals and childhood playgrounds
Lost to my memory
Walked upon the barren wasteland
Hiding in his overcoat
And if I ever find someone
You know the winter wouldn't be so cold
And if I ever find someone
You know the winter wouldn't be so cold
Be so cold
Eyes of smiling children 
Crying in the wind
Memories swirling like a swan song
When silence was a melody
And if I ever find someone...

GUILT
(Reynolds)

I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I done no wrong I feel guilt
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt
I feel bad, so bad, 
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad
I feel bad, I feel bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad
I never lied to my lover
But if I did I would admit it
If I could get away with murder
I'd take my gun and I'd commit it
I never gave to the rich,
I never stole from the poor
Like a curious child, give me more
I feel blood, I feel blood
Though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough
I feel blood, I feel blood
Though it's streaming through my veins, it's not enough
I never stole a scarf from Harrods
But if I did you wouldn't miss it
I never stole a doll from Lovecraft
But if I did you know I'd kiss it
I never stole fom the rich,
I never gave to the poor,
I'm like a curious child, just give me more...
I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt

TEETH AND CLAWS

(Kurenbach)
For Stephen

STAY BY ME

(Lennox)

Stay by me
And make the moment last
Please take these lips
Even if I have been kissed
A million times
And I don't care if there is no tomorrow
When I could die here in your arms
Even if the stars have made us blind
We're blind, we're blind
So blind in love
Sweet darling
Don't you know that we're no different to anyone
We stumble
We falter
But we're no different than anyone
And all the winter snow has melted down
Into a pool of silver water
And we were standing in a thunder cloud
Dark as your hair
Dark as your hair
So blind in love...

GOODBYE  HORSES

(W. Garvey)

You told me, I see you rise
But, it always falls
I see you come, I see you go
You say, "All things pass into the night"
And I say, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
You told me, I've seen it all before
Been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams
A lying on the ground
I've seen the sky just begin to fall
And you say, "All things pass into the night" 
And I say, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you 
Goodbye horses I'm flying over you

DREAMING MY WORLD

(Kurenbach, Huss)

I was trying for such a long time
Now we're falling into one another's arms
It all seemed so simple, but it's quite unkown
How we got together
and the way we've grown
Now I'm feeling so sure
Never thought a love could be like you
And if I gave my heart
Could it be I'm dreaming my world with you
The time it flows now quickly
It's way in my heart
Every moment I want to see you
You know I'm there
On the rainy days when we're at home
There'll be no more sorrows when I'm alone
When I'm far away
It always seems so cruel
All the voices calling me
When I only wish it was you
I only wish it was you
And if I gave my heart
Could it be I'm dreaming my world with you
Dreaming my world
