Empty Eyes

I can't believe this is happening
                        Too many nights of waiting for you to
                        walk through the door
                        Her kiss on your lips
                        Her taste on your mind
                        My territory traced with her
                        fingertips

                        I don't know why
                        I'm hoping that
                        you will look back
                        on all of the things
                        that we had shared
                        How much I cared
                        How much I held you close to me
                        so you wouldn't be so scared

                        And you stand there
                        and I cry
                        but you don't ask me why I'm hurting
                        Don't you feel
                        the goodbye
                        Is there anything left inside
                        Your empty eyes

Losing Time (Country)

Woke up this mornin'
                        sun was shinin' on me
                        but I heard the rain
                        and knew that I was dreamin'

                        I thought about all the pain you caused
                        and the things you said to me
                        as I packed my bags
                        and told you I was leavin'

                        Honey did you mean to hurt
                        my heart again like that
                        I really thought that we had
                        somethin' that would last forever

                        I realized when I saw your face
                        you had thrown it all away
                        I guess I should have known
                        nothing lasts forever
                        Well I think they're right
                        you never should say never

                        (c)
                        I'm losing time
                        and I can't find you
                        I close my eyes
                        and I see you standing there
                        Did we give up before we tried
                        where did we go so wrong?
                        I'm fighting tears
                        that you have made my blue eyes cry
                        cause I'm missin' you
                        but I don't know...
                        how to turn back time

                        Now it seems that everything
                        has fallen into place
                        You got your life, your new wife
                        and baby, you got your freedom

                        But did you know
                        that I was willin'
                        to try anything
                        to be the best, to be your only one

                        You didn't hear me beggin' you
                        to give our love a chance
                        Instead you turned your back
                        on someone who adored you

                        But maybe somewhere down the road
                        I'll find the answers to that
                        and I can heal my heart
                        maybe love again
                        Yeah I'll heal my heart
                        and I will love again

                        (c)
                        I'm losing time
                        and I can't find you
                        I close my eyes
                        and I see you standing there
                        Did we give up before we tried
                        where did we go so wrong?
                        I'm tasting tears
                        that you have made my blue eyes cry
                        cause I'm missin' you

                        but I don't know...
                        how to turn back time

                        how to make you mine

                        how to turn back time...

                        I'm losing time

Patience in the Rain

There is a place
                        where I can go
                        My smile disguises
                        what no one knows
                        Inside of my head
                        into your heart
                        My safety zone
                        is your loving arms

                        Now too many times
                        I'm missing you
                        The world's eyes are closing
                        to blinding views
                        I have to run away
                        to feel your kiss
                        Cuz you're the only one
                        who can bring me....

                        (C)
                        Blissfully dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what I 've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        The patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...
                        down.

                        Storms can be ruthless
                        but I can't ignore
                        The fact that I'm waiting
                        outside your door
                        Clouds can be beauty
                        but they can hide
                        what you cannot say
                        what you feel inside

                        I can be stronger
                        can see this through
                        to another day -
                        just to be with you
                        Though so many times
                        I want to turn away
                        The sun shines your laughter
                        for me and....

                        (RC)
                        You lie there dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what we've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        the patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...

                        (RC)
                        Down I lay dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what I've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        the patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...

                        Blissfully dreaming
                        Kissing you softly
                        Loving you sweetly
                        while the rain...
                        is...falling...

                        Down

Coming Home

Traffic's a maze
                        red lights and haze
                        are bringing me closer to you
                        I can't stop waiting, anticipating
                        all of those things that you do

                        Feel my sweet kiss
                        this true happiness
                        when the sunset brings you to me
                        I can't stop smiling
                        feel so excited
                        now that my world is complete

                        (C)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        I want you know
                        Feeling the moment
                        the rain begins softly
                        I whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door
                        So glad you're home

                        Candles burn bright
                        making sweet love all night
                        'till daybreak takes you away
                        Look in my eyes
                        and feel my warm touch
                        I'll pull you to me
                        and beg you to stay...

                        (C)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        and want you to know
                        Feeling the moment
                        the rain begins softly
                        I whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door
                        So glad you're home

                        (bridge)
                        Though rushing hours
                        may call your name
                        I'm waiting here for you
                        Time moves so quickly
                        and I'm getting ready
                        to show you what you mean to me

                        (C -soft)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        and want you to know
                        Feeling the moment
                        I dim the lights slowly
                        and whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door...

                        So glad you're home

More

Whispering words
                        only you can know
                        taking you into me
                        so I can show you
                        the passion I've kept
                        deep inside
                        but knew I'd forever
                        have to hide it away

                        From the moment I saw
                        the look in your eyes
                        fate played a part
                        in entwining our lives somehow
                        Together we can feel
                        and know that ache
                        without risking chances
                        we can't possibly take for now

                        I remained desperately yours
                        in loving admiration
                        of the pleasure you showed me
                        dreams you shared with me
                        and the satisfaction...

                        (c)
                        So take me gently
                        but love me with your heart
                        eyes into eyes
                        we begin to start the fires
                        Desire burns deeply
                        throughout the night
                        by drinking your passion
                        you give me new life

                        One that I have
                        searched for so long
                        examining faces
                        listening to songs that spoke to me
                        Now we lie still
                        in each other's arms
                        closing our love
                        away from all harm and pain
                        I look once more
                        to be certain it's no dream
                        and silently sigh content
                        as you hold me close...

                        (c)
                        Take me gently
                        but love me with your heart
                        eyes into eyes
                        we begin to start the fires
                        Desire burns deeply
                        throughout the night
                        by drinking your passion
                        you give me new life

                        I look once more
                        to be certain it's no dream
                        and silently sigh content
                        as you hold me close...
                        skin to skin...
                        and we listen to the rain

I Will

Woke up this morning
                        looked outside our window pane
                        And then I saw you
                        you were dancing in the rain
                        How do you do that?
                        Take me everywhere you go
                        I'm glad I found you
                        and I think that you should know

                        (c)
                        That I feel your touch
                        I can taste your kiss
                        We're walking down this unknown road
                        and we're turning it into bliss

                        It's such a high
                        It's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever...
                        someday I will

                        They say that love is
                        what you give is what you earn
                        But I know better
                        It's a slow and steady burn
                        So overwhelming
                        the way you wash right over me
                        Your gift of passion
                        it has finally set me free...

                        (c)
                        And I feel your touch
                        I can taste your kiss
                        We're walking down this unknown road
                        and we're turning it into bliss
                        It's such a high
                        and it's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever
                        someday I will

                        (bridge)
                        So baby take my hand in yours
                        Let me know you understand
                        The way you make me feel
                        is real....

                        (aco)
                        And I feel your touch
                        I can taste your kiss
                        We walked right down that unknown road
                        and we turned into bliss (drum in)
                        It's such a high
                        and it's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever...

                        (softer)
                        It's such a high
                        It's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever...

                        Someday I will

Saturated

I crossed the bridge
                        walked away from you
                        went searching for
                        a different view

                        Couldn't find something
                        to satisfy
                        All I could do
                        was sit and cry

                        (C)
                        So if you know me
                        you will finally see
                        I'm right here waiting
                        for your company
                        Anticipating
                        what you'll take from me
                        I'm saturated by your misery

                        You tried to call
                        to apologize
                        But I went away (again)
                        to avoid your lies
                        Now I am gone (now I am gone)
                        and you are too (are you)
                        But I just can't seem
                        to get over you

                        So if you know me
                        you will finally see
                        I'm right here waiting
                        for your company
                        Anticipating
                        what you'll take from me
                        I'm saturated by your misery

                        Didn't learn
                        what you said you wanted me to be
                        for you
                        Didn't turn
                        around and see you walk away again...
                        Again...

                        (interlude)

                        (stac)

                        I crossed that bridge
                        walked away from you
                        but I couldn't go
                        couldn't see it through...

                        Because you know me
                        you will always see
                        I'm right here waiting
                        for your company
                        Anticipating
                        what you'll take from me
                        I'm saturated by your ---

                        (break/silence)

                        MISERY
