Think About It
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

seasons come and go like the lines in the mirror grow
you know i never think about it.
young man draws a gun, spends his life on the run
you know he just didn't think about it.

  time will take it away (bye-bye)
  isn't that what they say (but they lie)
  you just can't live that long
  you know it isn't easy
  but you just got to
  think about it.

trouble come without warning; seen the clouds in the morning
ah, but you just didn't think about it.
we dream without waking and love for the taking
and think we just can't live without it.

  time will fade it away (bye-bye-bye)
  yeah, ain't that what they say (don't they lie)
  you just can't be that strong
  you know it isn't easy
  but you just got to
  think about it.

  just got one life to lead,
  i don't care what your krishnas say!
  you can build a better world
  or you can throw it all away...
  better think about it.

my love says she's leaving, i'm disbelieving
lord, i just can't think about it.
we got lost in the sun, let the wings come undone
now we just can't talk about it...

  just got one life to lead
  i don't care what your psychics say!
  we can build a better world
  or we can throw it all away...
  better think about it.
  better think about it.
  think about it.
  better think about it.

  think about tomorrow...
  think about the past...
  better think about love.....

Lover
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

sitting all alone in an empty room
staring out my window at a golden moon
lover, where's your lover's heart for me?
is it stranded, uncommanded on a rolling sea?
remember me...

waiting for the telephone that never rings
weeping for the times i caused your heart to sting
lover, is it really time to cry?
think it over, there's a shoulder here for you to try
with no goodbye...

  and i would take you far beyond the thunder
  take you under
  and maybe then you could see
  we're meant to be...

pulling down the paintings of my broken dreams
pasting on the face i use in sad extremes
lover, we have been this way before
won't you fake it--try to make it with me just once more?
i know the score...

  but i would take you far beyond the thunder
  take you under
  and maybe then you could see
  we're meant to be...
  we're meant to be...
  we're meant to be...
  or so it seems to me.

Love Is Blind
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

as time goes by I find that there's no answer
to the questions that grow stronger in my mind
what you gonna do with a heart that's cold and lonely
when the only love you know
is the one that lets you go
tell me how you gonna find the sun when love is blind.

  love is blind and that's the reason
  all your time in any season
  you try to rhyme the words, "I'm leavin'"
  but you never do
  'cause love is blind.

trembling with my back against a corner
got to tame the beast or kill it to survive
I've heard 'em say a man wasn't meant to live without it
but it's cut me to the bone
left me broken and alone
and there's times it only hurts to be alive.

  love is blind and that's the reason
  all your time in any season
  you try to rhyme the words, "I'm leavin'"
  but you never do...
  'cause love is blind.

    something could be right around the bend
    a wonderful beginning or the end
    you're hangin' on to your closest friend
    'cause she's the kind brings peace of mind
    but love is blind.

  love is blind and that's the reason
  all your time in any season
  you try to rhyme the words, "I'm leavin'"
  but you never do...

Simple To Me
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

sitting all alone again
here in the evening
watching the fire's end,
missing the feeling...
  circumstances so unsure
  but love it doesn't come any truer
  and you know it's all so simple to me...

wondering about the shape I'm in,
living without you
thinking what a fool I've been
ever to doubt you...
  'cause we've got a love so strong
  nothing that's so right can be wrong
  and you know it's all so simple to me...

  love can never break your heart
  when you get it right from the start
  and I know this love is here to stay
  it's simple to me.

tell you what I'm gonna do
leaving you never (never)
promise all my love to you
now and forever...

  love can never break your heart
  when you get it right from the start
  and I know this love is here to stay
  it's simple to me.

simple to me
just you and me
just wait and see...

Long Long Time
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

it's takin' a long, long time
for baby and me to find
the answers we knew before
the truth isn't sure anymore...
  i don't know how to say it
  but love is a losing game
  if you don't learn how to play it
  the regular way...

been such a fool for years
the ransom it comes in tears
for times that you didn't know
and wondering where to go...
  i don't know how to tell you
  my love has a broken wing
  i don't have a song to sell you
  don't cost anything...

it's takin' a long, long time
and baby, i hope you find
the answers we knew before
lying beyond that door...
  i don't know how to sing it
  but lover, i hope you know
  if i had a dream i'd bring it
  before you go...

it's takin' a long, long time
it's takin' a long, long time
takin' a long, long time
takin' a long, long time...

The Garden
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

castaways on holidays escaping into fantasy
realities and enemies and faces lined with pain
histories in memories of how you lose your sanity
in laying snares for things to be
and missing it again...

  watch out for the people who have
  never seen the midnight as it
  rides the wide wind deeper through the
  mountains in the sky...
  there's a sunrise in the morning that will
  take you without warning and the
  tune won't pass you by
  no, no...

city streets and aching feet of homeless souls with empty goals
of buy and sell and no one tells you who they really are
railroad stations lined with patrons--drifting in the misty dawn
shadowed faces show no traces
they're looking for a star...

  watch out for the people who have
  never seen the midnight as it
  rides the wide wind deeper through the
  mountains in the sky...
  there's a sunrise in the morning that will
  take you without warning and the
  tune won't pass you by
  no, no...

making scenes in faded jeans the dreamers sing of inner beams
marking time they find a line to Eden--see no ONE WAY signs
come into the garden with your children and your ladies fine
taste the grapes of living, find some peace,
you're running out of time...

  listen to me, people, there's a
  melody within sight.  you can
  sing it in the morning, in the
  mellow morning light...
  in the crystal cascade dawning that will
  take you without warning there is
  time to make it right

Milky Way
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

seems i've been away
so lonely yesterday
my life's a sad cliche'
and no one's here to play
  lose it in the milky way
  tomorrow's just another day...

had a lady who could turn the time on summer nights
but history don't matter much, i'm sure you're right
so maybe you could tell me how to kill the light
'cause there's something in a love song that can turn me white
  take me to the milky way
  where tomorrow is a yesterday....

they say that there's a treasure laid at rainbow's end
and if you'll wait a life or two your ships come in
but it takes so long to find someone to call a friend
and when they're gone you're never sure just where you been
  well i been to the milky way
  and tomorrow's where I wanna stay...

well, love was written only for a few it seems
and sacrifices come to those who reach for dreams
but did you hear the voices down below the screams
the ones that take you underneath their silver wings?
  they'll take you to the milky way
  so sorry that you couldn't stay
  well blame it on the milky way
  said blame it on the milky way...

Tonight
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

sad today
far away from any chance of holding you
so what's new?
heard you found your peace of mind
once you left this dream behind...

  i had a nightmare
  that you never did care
  tonight...

it's all gone
so what's wrong with taking chances
if you lose
you can choose
take the laughter from your eyes
place a bet on your surprise...

  i had a nightmare
  that you never did care
  tonight...

didn't know
had to go and chase an answer...
couldn't find
lost my mind
woke up crying on the phone
someone died...i'm all alone.

  and i had a nightmare
  that you never did care
  tonight...

  and i had a nightmare
  that you never did care
  tonight...

  i had a nightmare
  that you never did care
  tonight...

Dreamer
Copyright © 1996 Big Umbrella Music

thinking he knows the way
a dreamer set sail today
there's no one behind to remember
he's losing his mind they say...
  he's been lost in the changing tide
  left by love with no answers
  found the cost and he realized
  he's got to take his chances...

reaching across the years
hoping to fight the fears
straining his mind to remember
the feeling behind the tears
  he's been lost in the changing tide
  siren's called and he answered
  can't recall where he lost it all
  he's praying for second chances...

  nothing's gonna stop the dreamer
  when he's taking the dream for a ride
  he's trading today for tomorrow
  to get to the other side...

isn't he just like me
out on a stormy sea
headstrong and blind to the danger
horizon is all he sees...
  he's been lost in the changing tide
  torn by time's lonely dancer
  saw the signs but he closed his eyes
  and now he takes his chances!

  nothing's gonna stop the dreamer
  when he's taking the dream for a ride
  he's trading today for tomorrow
  to get to the other side!

  to the other side...
  to the other side...
  to get to the other side...
