"I Thought It Was You"

Don't say your world lights up when I smile
'Cos you know it's too late for talk like that
And as this love fades, we both know that I have been betrayed
I'm not looking for the answer, baby
I'm just looking for a little love
We're all looking for something, baby
And for a minute, a minute, a minute

I thought it was you
I thought it was you
I thought that it was you
I thought it was you

Don't say that you'll be there when I need you
'Cos where are you when I need you now
I need you
The truth hurts
Ooh I'm hurting now I'm hurting ooh
I'm not looking for the answer baby
I'm just looking for a little love
We're all looking for someone baby
And for a minute, a minute, a minute

(Repeat chorus)

I wouldn't change a thing except the ending
'Til the part where you broke my heart
Everybody's talking about forgiveness
I can't forgive you for leaving me

I'm not looking for the answer baby
I'm just looking for a little love
We're all looking for something baby
And for a minute, a minute, a minute

(Repeat chorus)

"Patches of Happiness"

patches of happiness, red fades into blue
glimpses of loneliness, what more can i do?
waiting for winter to melt into spring
waiting for you to let me back in

	i don't want to be, i don't want to be, i don't want to be
	here on my own
	i don't want to be, i don't want to be, i don't want to be
	left here alone on my own

with patches of happiness, blue colours the day
glimpses of hopelessness, what more can i say?
waiting for summer to fall into fall
waiting for it to be how it was before

	i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear
	another word
	i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear
	of lessons learned, not a word

patches of happiness, that's all that's left
glimpses of emptiness, you took the rest
waiting for winter to melt into spring, waiting for you to
let me back, let me back, let me back in

	i don't want to be, i don't want to be, i don't want to be
	here on my own
        i don't want to be, i don't want to be, i don't want to be
        left here alone on my own
        i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear
        another word
        i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear, i don't want to hear
        of lessons learned
		
		patches
		patches of happiness

"Swept"

i've said things i shouldn't have said
i might break your heart and my promises
swept up in the moment of it all

i keep meaning to hold something back
people always say to do that
it isn't in my nature in fact at all

	i swear i never was so cynical
	it must have crept up on me
	miracle of miracles, that i won't always be

you've said things you shouldn't have said
you might break my heart and your promises
swept up in the moment of it all

        i swear i never was so cynical
        it must have crept up on me
        miracle of miracles, that i won't always be

        i swear i never was so cynical
        it must have crept up on me
        miracle of miracles, that i won't always be

we've said things that we might regret
we might break our word and slowly forget
how sweet it felt when we were swept up in it all

swept, when we were swept, when we were swept up in it all
swept, when we were swept, when we were swept up in it all

"Rainbow Heart"

i'm packing away the blacks and the greys and the charcoal
the yellows and golds and all of those that sparkle

	there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
	tearing this body apart

the lime and the green the white and the cream and the navy
the purple and mauve and all of those that make me

        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
        tearing this body apart

		a rainbow tearing this body apart

the brown and the beige the light and the shade and the china blue
i showed my true colours now where are you?

        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
        there's a rainbow in my heart
	tearing this body a, tearing this body a, tearing this body apart

"Betrayed"

i've betrayed you, not in body and soul
i've betrayed you, not in ways that would show
i've betrayed you

	by word of mouth, by thoughts of doubt
	forgive me, forgive me

i've misled you, though not intending to
i've misled you, in ways i shouldn't do
i've misled you

	by word of mouth, by thoughts of doubt
	forgive me, forgive me

a troubled world rolls by my window
where oh where to begin
unravelling the secrets of both sides of the skin

        by word of mouth, by thoughts of doubt
        by word of mouth, by thoughts of doubt
	forgive me, forgive me, forgive, forgive me

"Talk Walk Drive"

talking about melissa when your name came up
talking about mixed signals and all that kind of stuff
talking about religion, talking politics and love
how we keep talking, talking about everything except us

	talk walk drive, drive walk talk
	talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby

walking around this city, walking along these streets
hoping they might feel familiar beneath these foreign feet
walking down to the village, walk to a taxi to your house
walking walking on a road to nowhere when it comes to us

        talk walk drive, drive walk talk
        talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby

		why don't you say what you mean? mean what you say
		i won't let you talk walk drive away

driving along the freeway, driving into the hills
hoping they might feel familiar beneath these foreign wheels
driving until sunset, driving myself too hard
driving myself crazier when it comes to us

        talk walk drive, drive walk talk
        talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby
        talk walk drive, drive walk talk
        talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby

"Shame"

there are not words to speak of
there are not words to say
there are not songs to sing on
news days like today

there's only time to carry
these darkest doubts away
there's only hope to cling to
on days like today

	should hang our heads in shame
	what we've done in god's name
	should hang our heads in shame
	only ourselves to blame

there are not dreams or feelings
that could seem to convey
there are not songs to sing on
news days like today

        should hang our heads in shame
        what we've done in god's name
        should hang our heads in shame
        only ourselves to blame

		maybe i'm naive, i still believe in peace

"(Love Moves in) Mysterious Ways" (written by Tom Snow and Dean Pitchford)

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit
You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it
I forgot how we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are
Don't blame it on my heart, oh

Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take
We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith
So hold me close and never never let me go
'Cos even though we think we know which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no

(Repeat chorus)

Like the ticking of a clock two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand the way it's done, oh

(Repeat chorus)

Love moves... in mysterious ways....

"As She Whispers"

my god's sleeping on a bed of creamy clouds
hoping to go unnoticed far from the madding crowd

	as she whispers, oh, as she whispers, oh
	baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
	hush now sleep
	baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
	as she gently weeps

my god's walking on a lake of frozen love
saying "where's the perfect plan that i sent down from us above?"

        as she whispers, oh, as she whispers, oh
        baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
        hush now sleep
        baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
        as she gently weeps

		red blood on golden sands
		what's happening in the promised land?

        as she whispers, oh, as she whispers, oh
	as she whispers, oh
        baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
        hush now sleep
        baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
        as she gently weeps

"Scare Me"

don't scare me, don't scare me
with talk of forever and always, just stay
don't scare me, don't scare me
with words like i love you, they haunt me some days

	nobody knows better than me
	that love is a fickle friend
	who can give you up, give you up, give you up
	without whisper or warning
	give you up, give you up, give you up
	and it scares me, scares me

don't tell me, don't tell me
that you'll take care of me forever and always
don't tempt me, don't tempt me
to trust you, oh how I long to some days

        nobody knows better than me
        that love is a fickle friend
        who can give you up, give you up, give you up
        without whisper or warning
        give you up, give you up, give you up
        and it scares me, scares me

and i would be the first to say
the best-laid plans can fail
i guess it's just like anything 
where only time can tell

		scare me

        nobody knows better than me
        that love is a fickle friend
        who can give you up, give you up, give you up
        without whisper or warning
        give you up, give you up, give you up
        and it scares me, scares me

"Tied" (written by Julia Fordham/Irwin Levine/Russell Brown)

	tie a yellow ribbon round your heart
	counted every moment we're apart
	it's been five long years
	since you've been here
	tie a yellow ribbon

beyond the realm of dignity
beyond imagination, please forgive me
how long, how long, how long, how long will it be?
it's a tragedy

        tie a yellow ribbon round your heart
        counted every moment we're apart
        it's been five long years
        since you've been here
        tie a yellow ribbon

what happened to humanity?
there is no understanding such insanity
hold on, hold on, hold on please if you can
in that troubled land

        tie a yellow ribbon round your heart
        counted every moment we're apart
        it's been five long years
        since you've been here
        tie a yellow ribbon
	round your heart
