How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
So there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
(Chance I've got to take, got to take)
So take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
VIOLET AND BLUE
Even when the warning is
Even when the warning is
So where have you gone
Have you gone so far from the eyes that
Speak trouble and even when the warning is
Overwhelming
Well it's hard to hide from
Eyes that are all over you
That only some
Make you lose your composure
"Well it's hard on my heart"
Said, "Well open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
Said, "I need to know now "
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Mornings with you
ooh woo ooh ooh
ooh woo ooh ooh
So you hide out
Like you think that you never left
Tried to tell him that his heart is in his hands
Ooh, yes
"Well it's hard on my heart"
He said, "Open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
He said, "I need to know that"
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Mornings with you
ooh woo ooh ooh
ooh woo ooh ooh
Ten thousand times
Oh I tried to tell you
When you close your eyes
Well I can't see inside you
With the touch of your hand
Well it starts again
Whoa yeah!
Every though the warning is
So we both play
It gets under your skin
And we both the love the road
But the roads are different
"You know it's hard on my heart"
Ooh, he says "open your eyes"
"Yeah, it gets harder every day"
He says, "I need to know"
Soon you will be gone
Take your violet and blue
Morning with you
Ah ha ha-uh
ooh ooh ooh
Ah-uh
Take it with you ah-uh
Take it with you ahuh
Take it with you baby
Ooh take it with you ah!
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Make you lose your composure
Ooh, it's overwhelming
Make you lose your composure
Oh, it's overwhelming
WALK THROUGH THE FIRE
Walk through the fire
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame (walk through the fire)
No trace of indecision
Lion keep his vision clear
Moving out
Across the water
The wet leaves quiver in the heat
Darkness heavy on my shoulder
Smell the smoke, sickly sweet
The body's weak, the shadow's strong
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame (walk through the fire)
Lion show no sign of fear
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Through the dust and ashes
While the building crashes
Walk through the flame (walk through the fire)
No time for doubt or caution
Taken by the strong emotion
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
No trace of indecision
Lion hold his vision clear
(Walk, walk, walk)
Walk through the fire (walk through the fire)
Walking in the path of angel
Walk on down below, walk on down below
Walk on down below, walk on down below
BALCONY
Heave lads, an audience awaits
Heave lads, the final scene is set
(Spotlights protect me)
Heave lads, curtains clear the debt
Waiting in empty halls
Smiling between the walls
This is my finest hour
Now is your last encore
Sweat boys, the lines are flowing fast
Sweat boys, the cue has come at last
(Laughter protects me)
Sweat boys, tonight is just the past
Listen the bullet calls
Herald a great man's fall
This is my finest hour
Now is your last encore
MAKING A BIG MISTAKE
Did you ever wonder
Just who's in control
Underneath the surface
Feel a different world
I feel the knife in my shoulder
But it doesn't hurt at all
I'll still be the loser
Whichever way I fall
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
I don't think you care
Just what's goin' on
They get some information for you
Don't stay too long
I can do what I want to
And I could say what's in my mind
I've gotta make some decisions
I'm running out of time
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake
