Horizon

1 - Aurora

Morning opens quietly A shadow vision over me I know you well Hidden by the windowpane And all my sadness gone charade Begins to fade How long its' stayed Patterns of another day Awaken slowly out of gray A tolling bell Rolling down the alleyway Its' calling all my dreams away My dreams are songs I play

 After long enough of being alone Everyone must face their share of lonliness In my own time nobody knew The pain I was goin' through And waitin' was all my heart could do Hope was all I had until you came Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me You were the dawn breaking the night The promise of morning light Filling the world surroundin' me And when I hold you baby, baby, feels like maybe things will be alright Baby, baby, your love's made me free as a song singin' forever Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely You showed me the way to leave the past and all its' tears behind me Tomorrow may be even brighter than today Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday (Instrumental break) I have found my home here in your arms Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be Life waits for us, share it with me The best is about to be And so much is left for us to see And when I hold you baby, baby, feels like maybe things will be alright Baby, baby, your love's made me free as a song singin' forever Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely You showed me the way to leave the past and all its' tears behind me Tomorrow may be even brighter than today Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You've been out riding fences for so long now Ah, you're a hard one But I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table But you only want the one that you can't get Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home Freedom, ah, freedom, that's just some people talkin' You're a prisoner walkin' through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the nite-time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences and open the gate It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you... You better let somebody love you before it's too late

(Stop) Woah yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman (Wait) Wait, Mr. Postman (Please, Mr. Postman look and see) Woah yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me)Please, please, Mr. Postman (Why's it takin' such a long time?) Oh yeah (For me to hear from that boy of mine?) There must be some word today from my boyfriend so far away Please Mr. Postman look and see If there's a letter, a letter for me I've been standin' here waitin' Mr. Postman so patiently For just a card, or just a letter Sayin' he's returnin' home to me Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman look and see) Woah yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me) Please, please, Mr. Postman (Why's it takin' such a long time) Woah yeah (For me to hear from that boy of mine?) (Instrumental break) So many days you passed me by See the tears standin' in my eyes? You didn't stop to make me feel better By leaving me a card or a letter Mr. Postman (Please Mr. Postman look and see) Woah yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me) Please, please, Mr. Postman (Why's it takin' such a long time?) Why don't you check it and see one more time for me? You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Ooh, Mr. Postman Come on deliver the letter the sooner the better

 As we eye the blue horizon's bend Earth and sky appear to meet and end But it's merely and illusion Like your heart and mine, there is no sweet conclusion I can see no matter how near you'll be You'll never belong to me But I can dream, can't I? Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace? For dreams are just like wine, and I am drunk with mine I'm aware my heart is a sad affair There's much disillusion there But I can dream, can't I? Can't I adore you although we are oceans apart? I can't make you open your heart, but I can dream, can't I? (Instrumental Break) Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace? For dreams are just like wine, and I am drunk with mine I'm aware my heart is a sad affair There's much disillusion there But I can dream, can't I? Can't I adore you although we are oceans apart? I can't make you open your heart, but I can dream, can't I?

There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared That went unshared until it died within his silence And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him takes him down And by himself it's easy to pretend he'll never love again And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire A little hope goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying There was a man, a lonely man Who would command the hand he's playing And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him takes him down And by himself it's easy to pretend he'll never love again And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire

I've played the game of love before Too young to know how hard the fall could be I never thought I'd try again Somehow you brought the gambler out in me You can deal me in this time around Even though the odds are high we'll play them down You may be a chance I need to take And the hand I'm holdin' says it's no mistake Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from bein' with you All at once my life is changin' and I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you Fallin' in love with you, fallin' in love, fallin' in love with you If this is luck then let it ride If it's the stars, they're surely on my side I've never been so satisfied by love before for all the times I've tried These beginning could mean more than the brief affair I bargained for Little did I know when we began that my time had come to win a hand Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from bein' with you All at once my life is changin' and I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you Fallin' in love with you, fallin' in love, fallin' in love with you Please forgive me if I seem to be walkin' through a waking dream Laughter never came so easily, there's a freedom here that's new to me Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from bein' with you All at once my life is changin' and I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you Fallin' in love with you, fallin' in love, fallin' in love with you

I have something to tell you and I know it won't be easy I've been thinking these past few days it might be time to leave You're like a stranger, then you're a lover Never the same, always hard to believe I'm caught between goodbye and I love you Never knowin' quite where I stand I'm caught between goodbye and I love you Fallin' both ways, nowhere to land So constantly stranded, I can't understand it This double life you've handed me is like the devil and the deep blue sea If we go on much longer, if my doubts grow any stronger Then I may have to let you go if only to survive Give me a reason, why should I stay here? I've tried so hard just to keep love alive I'm caught between goodbye and I love you Never knowin' quite where I stand I'm caught between goodbye and I love you Fallin' both ways, nowhere to land So constantly stranded, I can't understand it This double life you've handed me is like the devil and the deep blue sea Aaaah aaaah aaaah

We fell in love on the first night that we met Together we've been happy, I have very few regrets The ordinary problems have not been ours to face But lately little changes have been slowly taking place You're always finding something is wrong in what I do But you can't rearrange my life because it pleases you You've got to love me for what I am for simply being me Don't love me for what you intend or hope that I will be And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy You're really not in love, so let me go I must be free If what you want isn't natural for me I won't pretend to keep you What I am I have to be The picture of perfection is only in your mind For all your expectations love can never be designed We now take each other for everything we are Or leave the life we've made behind and make another start You've got to love me for what I am for simply being me Don't love me for what you intend or hope that I will be And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy You're really not in love, so let me go I must be free Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy You're really not in love, so let me go I must be free You're really not in love, so let me go I must be free

Lying under barren skies The light escaping from my eyes Below the moon Walking down the avenue I'm followed by the afterglow The velvet rose Of evening grows Weary to be home again Among the faces of my friends The day is done Candles burning by the sea Are waiting for me patiently I wish the same For you
