1. _ Read Your Mind
we held hands and laughed
then we jumped in the water
off the jetty we'd fly
as the sun got hotter
we were any age
floating through space
happy for once in the human race
on this sweet sunday and into monday
your arms wrapped around me
where my love has found me
but am i really free
if i could read your mind
i hope i'd find
the same love i have in mine
if i could go back in time
i'd try to find you
and make up for all this wasted time
like a broken record
i've stayed protected
from promises from disappointments
i wanna hear your dreams wanna drift away
wanna break you in
oh i wanna stay
stay in heaven oh in heaven
and see my life finally begin
will we be together oh forever
darling please let me in
if i could read your mind
i hope i'd find
the same love i have in mine
if i could go back in time
i'd try to find you
and make up for all this wasted time
oh i want to stay in this sweet sunday and into monday
your arms wrapped around me
where my love has found me
has finally found me
but am i really free
if i could read your mind
i hope i'd find
the same love i have in mine
if i could go back in time
i'd try to find you
and make up for all this wasted time
na na na na na
if i could read your mind

2. _ Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow
i like the way you wanted me
every night for so long baby
i like the way you needed me
every time things got rocky
i was believing in you
was i mistaken
do you say do you say what you mean
i want our love to last forever
but i'd rather you be mean than love and lie
i'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
i'd rather take a blow at least then i would know
but baby don't you break my heart slow
i like the way you'd hold me
every night for so long baby
and i like the way you'd say my name
in the middle of the night
while you were sleeping
i was believing in you
was i mistaken
do you mean do you mean what you say
when you say our love could last forever
but i'd rather you be mean than love and lie
i'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
i'd rather take a blow at least then i would know
but baby don't you break my heart slow
you would run around and lead me on forever
while i wait at home still thinking that we're together
i wanted our love to last forever
i was believing in you
i'd rather you be mean than love and lie
i'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
i'd rather take a blow at least then i would know
but baby don't you break my heart slow

3. _ Confetti
skinny little brats
walking down avenue a
dangling their cigarettes
their independence day
tears like filigrees
wear them on their sleeves
nobody's main squeeze
it's thirty five degrees
poetry of ordinary life is what i live for
they just wanna be seen
they just wanna be heard said
my words are like confetti
and you never pick them up
they fall to the ground
i need someone to lift me up
so diaphanous so ephemeral
and all those bad words
they never learned in school
groovy like my mamma was
in her black turtle neck
she was so high strung
she was so low tech
poetry and tattooed dreams
and fourteen caret nose rings
the children of elite
are trying to be street saying
my words are like confetti
and you never pick them up
they fall to the ground
i need someone to lift me up
repeat chorus

4. _ Crying
i was alright for awhile
i could smile for awhile
but i saw you last night
you held my hand so tight
as you stopped to say 'hello' oh you wished me well
you couldn't tell that i'd been
crying over you
crying over you
when you said 'so long'
left me standing all alone
alone and crying
crying crying crying crying
it's hard to understand
how the touch of your hand
can start me crying
i thought that i was over you
but it's true oh so true
i love you even more
than i did bfore
but darling what can i do
for you don't love me
and i'll always be
crying for you
crying for you
yes now you're gone
and from this moment on
i'll be crying crying crying crying
yes crying
crying
over you

5. _ This is Crazy Now
blown away like the wind restless again
my only friend has gone away
washed like the tide but i'm still alive
i'm gonna drive all night long
this is crazy now i'll fill the space somehow
if there were someway to get through
this is crazy now i'll fill the space somehow
i can't walk away from you
shaken like a leave sharpened like a reef
all of my senses need relief
looking out to sea i still believe
that you and i were meant to be
this is crazy now i'll fill the space somehow
if there were someway to get through
this is crazy now like a finger paint
fill the space somehow smearing in the rain
i can't walk away from you wash it all away
this is crazy now shaken like a leave
i'll fill the space somehow sharpened like a reef
i can't walk away from you
this is crazy now
shaken' like a leaf
fill the space somehow
sharpened like a reef
i can't walk away from you

6. _ Vincent (Starry Starry Night)
starry starry night
paint your palette blue and gray
look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
shadows on the hill
sketch the trees and daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land
now i understand
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered you sanity
and how you tried to set them free
they would not listen they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now
starry starry night
flaming flowers that brightly blaze
swirling clouds in violet haze
reflect in vincent's eyes of china blue
colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain
weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
now i understand
what you tried to say to me
they did not listen they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now
starry starry night

7. _ I Know Him By Heart
there's a secret path i follow
to a place no one can find
where i meet my perfect someone
i've kept hidden in my mind
where my heart makes my decisions
'till my dream becomes a vision
and the love i feel
makes him real someday
cause i know he's out there somewhere
just beyond my reach
though i've never really touched him
or ever heard him speak
though we've never been together
we've never been apart
no we've never met
haven't found him yet
but i know him by heart
am i living an illusion
wanting something i can't see
if i compromise i'd be living lies
pretending he's not meant to be
cause i know my heart's worth saving
and i know that he'll be waiting
so i'll hold on and i'll stay strong 'till then
cause i know he's out there somewhere
just beyond my reach
though i've never really touched him
or ever heard him speak
though we've never been together
we've never been apart
no we've never met
haven't found him yet
but i know him by heart
no we've never met
haven't found him yet
but i know him by heart

9. _ Sweet Inspiration
i need your sweet inspiration
i need you here on my mind
every hour of the day
without your sweet inspiration
the lonely hours of the night
just don't go my way
a woman in love
needs sweet inspiration
yeah and honey that's all i ask that's all i ask from you
i've gotta have your sweet inspiration
you know there just ain't no tellin' what a satisfied woman might do
the way you call me baby baby

the way you call me darlin' darlin'
sets my heart to skating
and if i'm out in the rain baby
and in a bad situation
you know i just reach back in my mind
and there i find your sweet sweet inspiration
sweet inspiration
oh what a power
and i've got the power
every hour of the day

to go on to go on living
to keep on giving this way
i need your sweet inspiration

10. _ 100 Tears Away
go ahead and cry now
just give in to the madness
the only way to feel your joy
is to first feel the sadness
go ahead and sail now
just give in to the ocean
the only way to tame your fear
is to feel her rocky motion
you're a long way from somewhere you call home yeah
there's a place in your heart you're not alone
all of the happiness you seek
all of the joy for which you pray
is closer than you think
it's just 100 tears away
go ahead and listen
just give into the voices
you think you're backed into a corner
but you've got so many choices
you're a long way from somewhere you call safe
peace of mind comes from just one place
all of the happiness you seek
all of the joy for which you pray
is closer than you think
it's just 100 tears away
you're a long way from somewhere you call home
there's a place in your heart you're not alone
all of the happiness you seek
all of the joy for which you pray
is closer than you think
it's just 100 tears away
whatever it is that'll make you feel good
you can have if you want
if you knew that you could
it's closer than you think
it's just 100 tears away

12. _ To Sir With Love
the time has come
for closing books and long last looks must end
and as i leave
i know that i am leaving my best friend
a friend who taught me right from wrong
and weak from strong
that's a lot to learn
what what can i give you in return
if you wanted the moon
i would try to make a start
but i would rather let me give my heart
to you with love
those schoolgirl days
of telling tales and biting nails are gone yeah
but in my mind
i know that they live on and on and on and on
but how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
well it's not easy
but i'll try
if you wanted the sky
i would write across the sky in letters
that would soar a thousand feet high
to you with love
those awkward years have hurried by
why did they fly fly away
why is it sir children grow up to be people one day
what takes the place of climbing tres and dirty knees in the world outside
what what is there that i can buy
if you wanted the world
i'd surround it with a wall i'd scrawl
these words withe letters ten feet tall
to you with love

13. _ What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted
as i walk this land of broken dreams
i have visions of many things
love's happiness is just an illusion
filled with sadness and confusion
what becomes of the brokenhearted
who had love that's now departed
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind maybe
the fruits of love grow all around
but for me they come tumbling down
everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
i can't stand this pain much longer
i walk in shadows searching for light
cold and alone no comfort in sight
hoping and praying or someone to care
always moving and going nowhere
what becomes of the brokenhearted
who had love that's now departed
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind baby
i'm searching though i don't succeed
but someone look there's a growing need
oh he is lost there's no place for beginning
all that's left is an unhappy ending
now what becomes of the brokenhearted
who had love that's now departed
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
i'll be searching everywhere
just to find someone to care
i'll be looking every day
i know i'm gonna find a way
nothing's gonna stop me now
i will find a way somehow

14. _ This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)
oh this old heart of mine
been broke a thousand times
each time you break away
i feel you're gonna stay
lonely nights that come
memories that flow
bringing you back again
hurting me more and more
maybe it's my mistake to show this love i feel inside
cause each day that passes by
you got me never knowing if i'm coming or going but i
i love you
this old heart darling darling weeps for you
i love you yes i do yes i do
these old arms of mine
miss having you around
makes these tears inside
start falling down well
always with half a kiss
you remind me of what i miss
so i try to control myself
like i'm gonna start fainting cause my heart stops beating cause i
i love you
this old heart darling weeps for you weeps for you
i love you yes i do yes i do
oh i try to hide my hurt inside
this old heart of mine always makes me cry
the way you trat me leaves me incomplete
you're in for the day gone for the week now
but if you leave me a hundred times
a hundred times i'll take you back
i'm yours whenever you want me
i'm not too proud to shout it
to tell the world about it cause i
i love you
this old heart darling darling weeps for you
i love you
this old heart darling weeps for you weeps for you
i love you
this old heart darling darling weeps for you
i love you yes i do yes i do
