Into The Great Unknown Again
Into the great unknown again
Forget the heartache and the pain
Look for the sun through all the rain
Into the great unknown again
Into the great unknown again
Now that you’re more than just a friend
I wish this thing would never end
Into the great unknown again
I said I’d always be alone
Forget the seeds that I had sown
I’d grow old all on my own
Stay in the world without a home
Into the great unknown again
Hoping I won’t feel the pain
Of hurt that made me feel insane
Into the great unknown again
You took me in with all my pain
And made me feel secure again
Took all the parts and made them whole
You took my heart you took my soul
Into the great unknown again
Now that you’re more than just a friend
I pray this thing will never end
Into the great unknown again
What Did We Ever Learn From History?
There is an oak tree in a nearby avenue
It was planted there for us to note
Remembering those who fought to change our attitudes
The women fighting for their right to vote.
They were strong, so strong
And yet it’s shrouded now in mystery
So much wrong , so wrong
What did we ever learn from History?
There is a family in a nearby neighbourhood
Who have to live through what is Scotland’s shame
Hate slogans painted though not really understood
The writing tells us much of those to blame
They were wrong, so wrong
’Cause it’s not shrouded now in mystery
So much wrong, so wrong
Why did we never learn from History?
Redemptive suffering was the chosen way to go
With Luther King there was a guiding light
“Who are the least of these?” You heard him say to you
Passive resistance turning wrong to right
He was strong, so strong
He climbed the mountain through the mystery
So much wrong, so wrong
What did we ever learn from History?
They were so strong, so strong
The road to freedom is a long hard way
So much wrong, so wrong
What did we ever learn from History?
What did we ever learn from History?
I Won't Throw Love Away
So you don’t think time has taken love that was secure
The road at times has been so long and tough
We’ve been through some stormy weather
and I know for sure
My best sometimes is just not good enough
I gave you everything
Especially the blues
Can’t we call it a day
You go your way, I go mine
No more left to say
I won’t throw love away
You said that you needed me to be
your long lost friend
We had something special of our own
You seem not to see however it was bound to end
And you would reap the seeds that you had sown
I gave you everything
Especially the blues
Think I’ll call it a day
You go your way, I go mine
No more left to say
I won’t throw love away
You can’t help the way you’re feeling
So much love in vain is such a cost
I can’t see my heartache healing
We had so much then that now is lost
You said that you needed me and I was taken in
Loving you was easy there’s no doubt
All the passion that you promised didn’t quite begin
The torch I carried for you has gone out.
I gave you everything
Especially the blues
Can’t we call it a day
You go your way, I go mine
No more left to say
I won’t throw love away
Let Me Back Into That Dream
Let me back into that dream
When I came home with you that night
Your parents welcomed me in
They were kind and polite
Like in The Cottar’s Saturday Night
Hoping in vain that I’d treat you right
We had everything or so it seemed
Let me back into that dream
Let me hide there from the night
With its memories and regret
There are some things in this life
You will find you can’t forget
Like A la recherche du temps perdu
I was standing right there with you
Let me back into that dream
And keep on dreaming I’m with you
Let me back into that dream
Let me start anew
Let me back into that dream
Dream those dreams of you
I was a hero on that day
Why did I throw it all away
Let me back into that dream
And dream you’re here to stay
Don’t wanna wake up without you
Don’t wanna wake up alone
I’m alone when the morning comes
Let me back into that dream
Like No Other
You are quiet and sincere
With serenity and dignity
The truth is treasure you hold dear
With simplicity and honesty
You know that love will conquer all
Your words have truth and clarity
You walk straight and never fall
With sincerity and charity
Like no other, like no other,
like no other you are true
You know that anger is in vain
And patient is the way to be
Your love can take away the pain
You shelter me from the driving rain
You know that beauty can be vain
You nurture love and keep it warm
You take away the hurt and pain
Like a shelter from the raging storm
Like no other, like no other,
like no other you are true
Like no other, like no other,
like no other
You know that love will conquer all
You nurture love and keep it warm
You take away the hurt and pain
Like a shelter from the raging storm
Like no other, like no other, like no other
Last Chance Saloon
So much to do and so little time
By the time you get through you could lose your mind
I just have to escape, I have to leave this place
I’m in such bad shape the world is hard to face
I’m in the land of tattoos, I was born with a silver spoon
And they’re calling last orders at the last chance saloon
I had no idea that my life would be so tough
But now one drink’s too many and ten’s not enough
The pressure’s too much I must go and hide
And close my front door to the world outside
It’s wall to wall misery, people howlin’ at the moon
It’s drinking up time at the last chance saloon
You know it’s up to you how much time you spend
Because all good things really have to end
But be careful where you look, be careful not to smile
Because the people in here they’ve been around for a while
I’ve been scoring off the days right from August through to June
‘Cause they’re closin’ all the doors at the last chance saloon
Dreaming Alone
You’ve been walking the streets so long
It’s been taking its toll
You’ve been wand’ring alone all night
You’ve been searching your soul
Just to go through the motions is getting harder each day
And the debt that you owe to her now has interest to pay
It’s only then that you realise she’s not coming home
It hits you right between the eyes that she’s not alone
And you have to accept it that the thrill is now gone
And the dreams you were dreaming
with her you’re now dreaming alone
It’s way past repairing there has been too much pain
And the plans that you made with her have all been in vain
And you have to accept it – you’re out on your own
And the harvest is making you reap the seeds you have sown
It’s only then that you realise that she’s not alone
It hits you right between the eyes she’s not coming home
And you have to accept it – the thrill is now gone
And the dreams you were dreaming
with her you’re now dreaming alone
You're The Only One
I should have realised this would happen to me
I’m still carrying the torch but I just can’t see
Why your emotions still exclude me so
I’m in too deep and I can’t let go
How in the world can I explain to you?
I’m all alone when I’m not with you
What in the world am I supposed to do?
When you’re the only woman
makes my dream come true
I’ve been carrying the torch for way too long
When it comes to you I know I can’t be strong
You neglect and reject me with a wink of your eye
Can I keep on going how much more can I try?
How in the world how can I explain to you?
I’m all alone when I’m not with you
What in the world am I supposed to do?
When you’re the only woman
makes my dream come true
I have had enough and so I’m heading on
By the time you know I’ll be a long way gone
Though I wish I could leave you and I wish that was true
But where do I go to if I can’t have you?
How in the world can I explain to you?
I’m all alone when I’m not with you
What in the world am I supposed to do?
When you’re the only woman
makes my dream come true
I'd Rather Be A Rolling Stone
You don’t want me woman,
you’ve gone and left me all alone
If you don’t want me, woman,
not gonna stay here on my own
I’m not livin’ here without you
I’d rather be a rolling stone
You’re the only woman to make
me want a place called home
But now you left me lonesome
Feelin’ restless on my own
I can’t settle down without you
I’d rather be a rolling stone
You know I woke up Sunday morning
Looked around and you were gone
Left my dream without a warning
Disappeared into the dawn
I’ll do anything you want, girl
Don’t make me face the world alone
I’ll give it everything now
If you’ll only come back home
Don’t you leave me in the cold now
Don’t let me be a rolling stone
The nights are long and lonely
The days are empty too
And now you left me high and dry
I feel so low now I’m not with you
You’re the only woman could make
me wanna come back home
You know I need you, woman
Don’t leave me out here on my own
I don’t wanna be without you
I’d rather be a rolling stone
Another Day
Where can I hide,
Where can I hide from your love?
In the darkest moments, I knew you were always there
Showing me the way and guiding me along with care
Protecting me from harm, trusting me to stay with you
In the deepest crevice you have been the light I knew
Where can I hide,
Where can I hide from your love?
I have travelled on not hearing what you had to say
Then you picked me up and paid the debts I had to pay
In the dark of night you have brought the light of day
I left old ways behind, you have helped me find my way
And today is another day
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright
You protect me from the storm
In the darkest night
In the darkest moments you have kept me from despair
Showing me the way and guiding me along with care
In the spirit of my friends you have helped me carry on
Kept me in the fold safely when all hope was gone
And today is another day
Ev’ry thing’s gonna be alright
You protect me from the storm
In the darkest night
Where can I hide,
Where can I hide from your love?
