LYRICS 
Here are all the lyrics to the tracks featured on this site, Soundcloud and Bandcamp. In fact I think it's pretty much every lyric I wrote from 1985 to 2020.
All lyrics (c) Paul Berry 1984-2020.
a stranger in your house 
 
I think you should know 
I'm a stranger in your house 
You let me in 
And the darkness surrounding you fades 
I know you don't fear 
The stranger in your house 
When you close your eyes 
There's no-one else watching but me 
 
Is it me you feel when you lose yourself? 
Am I someone else you keep to yourself? 
 
I think you enjoy 
The company of strangers 
Your twisted smiles 
As you slide into your own world 
I'll always be 
The stranger in your house 
No need to pretend 
With a stranger everything's real 
  
Is it me you feel when you lose yourself? 
Am I someone else when you touch yourself?

angel 
 
I see you 
You don't see me 
I'm just another passer by 
You keep walking 
I keep thinking 
How one day I'll look you in the eye 
It would be love 
We could be unreal 
But you can't see beyond today 
My rejection 
Will haunt you 
If only you'd looked the other way 
 
Now you're falling, Angel 
All I wanted was your love 
But you hurt me, Angel 
So we will fall together 
 
Dare you sleep 
Dare you dream 
For I'll be with you all the time 
In your nightmares 
It won't be love 
There's nowhere to hide in your mind 
And you'll remember 
That 'no-one' 
You'll regret every downward glance 
You won't ignore me 
When I surround you 
Angel, you never stood a chance 
 
Now you're falling, Angel 
All I wanted was your love 
But you hurt me, Angel 
So we will fall together 
And you're fallen, Angel 
All I wanted was your love 
But you killed me, Angel 
So we will fall forever 
 
- 
 
broken 
 

I am falling and you’ll join me 
In the descent you will hold me 
 
And we will fear every moment 
And we’ll breathe in every torment 
We’ll be bleeding like a river 
Like a dead saint reborn a sinner 
And my nightmares will embrace you 
All my demons will engulf you 
I am drowning in a black sea forever. 
 
We are broken 
 
I am addiction in the darkness 
I am the weak link in the fortress 
 
A corruption of the clean mind 
An oasis of the wrong kind 
You’re stuck with me in this corner 
Suffocating in the torture 
And my nightmares will embrace you 
All my demons will engulf you 
We are comatose in the back seat forever 
 
We are broken 
 
- 
 
can you hear the waves? 
 
Could this be the place where you fell in love? 
Do you come here to remember? 
Do you come here to forget? 
 
Wait, can you hear the waves? 
What do they say to you? 
What do they mean to you? 
 
Could this be the place where you fell in love? 
Do you come here to remember? 
Do you come here to forget? 
 
- 
 
disconnected 
 
Always watching for suitable spaces 
With the ‘cafe army’, hiding their faces 
I need somewhere to pause and breathe 
And pick up all the pieces 
Left of you and me 
Working late and silent mornings 
I was blind to the early warnings 
Disconnected, once so complete 
Now picking through the pieces 
Left of you and me 
 
- 
 
drive it fast 
 
Driving along in a limousine 
Just like the stars on the silver screen 
Sarah tells me 'things get strange 
When the hand goes off the dial 
Don't be afraid, we'll do this in style' 
 
Drive drive drive it fast 
You know we like things fast 
 
She makes love speed into overdrive 
Romance and nerve keep us both alive 
Sarah is the kind of girl who 
Laughs at passers by 
She could tell you stories 
They'd make your mother cry 
 
Drive drive drive it fast 
You know we like things fast 
 
Heaven upstairs is where she would like to go 
What's going on inside you 
We'll never know 
Sarah dreams of making movies, making money fast 
She is sure of one thing 
'I'll never finish last' 
 
Drive drive drive it fast 
You know we like things fast

eliza candy 
 
I remember you 
So beautiful, like an angel 
I remember your eyes 
Like blue diamonds in twilight focus 
Seems just like yesterday 
Said we'd stay together, we'd live forever 
But the plans that we'd been making 
Were not to be for you and me 
 
All I wanted was you by my side 
But all I have are dreams left in my mind. 
 
I hope somewhere 
Eliza Candy waits for me 
 
I would hold your hand 
In late September, fighting the tide 
Such a carefree love 
Our education was in hesitation 
So where did we fall 
Why did we give in to the world we live in 
What were we thinking? 
Why fool ourselves we couldn't be together 
 
All I wanted was to share with you 
All the stupid things that we planned to do. 
 
I hope somewhere 
Eliza Candy waits for me 
I know somewhere 
Eliza Candy remembers me

falling down 
 
The lights are bright 
But I just can't look away 
Voices crystal clear 
But I can't hear what they say 
Are these the signs 
That I won't be coming back home 
I feel so peaceful 
Yet there's a tension inside 
I care for nothing 
But you know that's not what I'm like 
I'm all confused 
But the mystery's attractive somehow 
 
And through the air 
And through the night 
I'm like a moth drawn to candlelight 
Despite the magic of 
The wires and machines 
I keep on falling down 
 
The lights are fading 
The voices merging into one 
I know they're trying hard 
But they needn't carry on 
Hope you paid attention 
Keep it brief, enjoy the drinks. 
I'm around you now 
Can't see or hear you, I just know 
Haven't seen my folks 
Wouldn't know which way to go. 
I feel no sadness 
Strange but I feel nothing at all 
 
And through the air 
And through the night 
I'm like a moth drawn to candlelight 
Despite the magic of 
The wires and machines 
I keep on falling down 
 
And your love, though it warms my soul 
Counts for little as my skin grows cold 
Despite the prayers that echo in your head 
I keep on falling down 
 
- 
 
find a way 
 
Never thought I'd see your face again 
Never thought I'd hear you call my name 
I thought that we were lost 
But somehow love always finds a way 
 
All around us, passers by 
Desperate to collide 
All about us, lonely hearts 
Look for a brand new start 
We had been there for too long 
Now it's time to right the wrongs 
All I hoped for every day 
Was that love always finds a way 
 
Never thought our stars would realign 
Never thought there'd be a second time 
I thought we'd chosen different roads 
But somehow love always finds a way 
 
All around us, passers by 
Desperate to collide 
All about us, lonely hearts 
Look for a brand new start 
We had been there for too long 
Now it's time to right the wrongs 
All I hoped for every day 
Was that love always finds a way

forbidden world 
 
So innocent 
She’s so beautiful 
Look in her eyes 
And you will lose yourself 
But she will give it all away 
She will give it, give it all away 
 
I see her cry 
But I don’t see the tears 
Behind the smiles are tradition’s fears 
She wants to reach out 
And touch the world 
Fall in love 
In the forbidden world 
 
 I see a ruby painted in the sand 
I see a star above a foreign land 
You want to reach up 
And touch the sky 
Wrap your arms around 
Wrap your arms around the night 
  
- 
 
forever 
 
Time leaves us behind 
We are just passengers booked on a mystery tour 
Tears must surely fall 
We would be fools to think 
That nothing hurts us at all 
 
Love can live or die 
Love can fade away 
Love can be so cruel 
Yet it brings us all together 
Love can make you scream 
Love can make you cry 
Love will hold no fears 
If we make it last forever 
 
Memories, like a picture book 
Sometimes they make you laugh 
Sometimes it breaks your heart to look 
Dreams are all we are 
And as I live and breathe 
I'll carry yours with me 
 
Love can live or die 
Love can fade away 
Love can be so cruel 
Yet it brings us all together 
Love can make you scream 
Love can make you cry 
Love will hold no fears 
If we make it last forever 
 
- 
 
i will be with you 
 
When I look to the sea 
I don’t see you bleeding 
When the sun starts to fade 
I don’t feel you slipping 
When the stars pierce the dark 
I wonder where you are 
 
I don’t live 
I just breathe 
Without you I’m not free 
But in my dreams 
I can see that 
I will be with you 
 
When I walk with the crowd 
I feel so lonely 
All the talk and conversation 
I’d much rather not be here 
Past the park 
The streets are empty 
I wonder where you are 
 
Watch the leaves 
They fly like angels 
But I don’t see you falling 
Watch the trees and the breeze play 
That should be you and I 
When the night becomes morning 
I wonder where you are 
 
I don’t live 
I just breathe 
Without you I’m not free 
But in my dreams 
I can see that 
I will be with you 
 
- 
 
inside 

 
I was lost like a kite broke free 
No sense of control 
No-one would rescue me 
I was drifting far from the shore 
Needed a good samaritan 
To open their front door 
 
 All I needed was a real love 
Full of good intentions 
Someone to screw up 
All I needed was sanctuary 
I was your disciple and you came for me 
 
You know, I need to be deep inside you 
I want to reach into your soul 
And be part of you 
Feel what you feel 
I could share you 
Bleed when you bleed 
loving with you 
 
I was cold, like a ghost with skin 
A one man exhibition of 
Every living sin 
I’m forgiven, so I’m led to believe 
Strange how history’s twisted 
When a family grieves 
 
All I needed was you by my side 
You’ve given me a chance 
Somewhere to run and hide 
You are my sanctuary 
You know nothing of the monster 
That you have set free 
 
You know, I need to be deep inside you 
I want to reach into your soul 
And be part of you 
Feel what you feel 
I could share you 
Bleed when you bleed 
Loving with you 
 
- 
 
invisible wars 
 
Are you feeling sorry for yourself again? 
Do you feel today becoming yesterday again? 
'You could be someone,' they tell you 
But they say that to everyone. 
'You've got your whole life ahead of you' 
But they are wrong, it's all but gone. 
 
There's no such thing as good advice 
It's always lies made to sound nice. 
There's nothing wrong inside my head 
Just invisible wars to fight instead. 
 
Are you sensing your whole world caving in again? 
Are your memories starting to play tricks on you again? 
When you watch the sunset 
Is it like a part of your life has died? 
So, tomorrow's another day 
To remember everything that you've sacrificed. 
 
There's no such thing as good advice 
It's always lies made to sound nice. 
There's nothing wrong inside my head 
Just invisible wars to fight instead. 
 
- 
 
it's all over 
 
All those sleepless nights 
I would reach for you always knowing you weren't there 
Knowing you were far away 
I would lie awake 
I would call your name  
Always wishing you could hear me  
Wishing we were side by side 
 
It's all over, it's all over 
It's all over 
I'm not lonely now 
 
We began to change 
I could feel November slowly fade away 
A message left in history 
I don't mind the waiting 
In the meantime, I'll be caring for a young boy 
He loves you as much as I do 
 
Any fool can see 
No one in the world  
Has done so much for my heart 
You must have a gift inside 
Look into my eyes 
Can you see the love that was never there before 
I don't mind if you come closer 
 
It's all over, it's all over 
It's all over 
I'm not lonely now

kaleidoscope life 
 
And there’s a pretty face on the screen 
I wish her eyes were open 
And there’s a vaguely familiar voice 
Though there’s few words being spoken 
Look at the way she turns her head 
Is that a scar on her shoulder? 
With every dark coincidence 
My skin grows colder 
And my skin grows colder 
 
There is a world of pain 
In this kaleidoscope life 
I swim against the tide 
In my kaleidoscope life 
Forever broken dreams for me 
Forever breaking down 
That’s me 
 
What did I do that was so wrong 
To make you hurt so badly? 
What have I done to let you down 
To make your hate surround me? 
You were everything to me 
Now everything is failing 
If there’s a window to the soul 
I think that mine needs breaking 
And my heart is breaking 
 
There is a world of pain 
In this kaleidoscope life 
I swim against the tide 
In my kaleidoscope life 
Forever broken dreams for me 
Forever breaking down 
That’s me 
  
- 
 
kiss the night 

 
Hollow words 
No need to write them down 
I’ve nothing to say 
You’ve heard it all before 
My world’s gone dark 
You were the shaft of light 
I’ve got no tears left 
Maybe you’ll give me yours? 
 
I‘m reaching out 
I can’t reach in 
There’s no escape 
The air is thin 
I cannot fix 
What I can’t see 
Everything is fractured with me 
With me 
 
A single page 
To summarise my life 
I’ve left it blank 
I feel that says it all 
My apologies 
if my actions break your heart 
But it would be 
for the final time 
 
I’m falling down 
I can’t fight 
Embrace cold air 
And kiss the night 
I’ll be fixed 
When I bleed 
And everything is healed with me 
With me 
 
- 
 
lost and found 
 
Like a passer-by 
I remain unseen 
I’m a lifetime guest 
Of the in-between 
Neither here nor there 
You’ll be unaware 
 
Like a messenger 
Who lost track of time 
I’m an old friend’s name 
That escapes your mind 
Someone you’re thinking of 
Who you cannot love 
 
Look in the lost and found 
Filed under silence and the sound 
Always the one that disappears 
The smile that pre-empts a child’s tears 
I am the lost and found 
 
I’m the memory 
Where you take a breath 
I’m the second hand 
Twitching to the left 
When you search for sense 
I’ll plead indifference 
 
I’m a shadow cast 
Where there is no light 
I’m a teenage heart 
Broken in the night 
I belong with me 
For eternity 
 
Look in the lost and found 
Filed under silence and the sound 
Always the one that disappears 
The smile that pre-empts a child’s tears 
I am the lost and found 
 
- 
 
one day soon 
 
One day soon 
Things will seem to fall apart 
One day soon 
Your world is going to change forever 
 
I wish I could tell you more 
Of a world not far away 
Where the fortunate explore 
 
One of these days 
Things will all fit into place 
Bittersweet dreams 
Where confusion and elation play 
 
I wish I could hold your hand 
And walk you through the storm 
But you wouldn't learn a thing 
You wouldn't learn a thing 
 
One day soon 
I will lose you forever 
 
- 
 
parallel 
 
All the things that I want 
You don't help me with them 
All the dreams in my head 
They escape your attention 
All the plans that I've made 
You simply greet them with silence 
All the secrets I've shared 
I get no response from you 
 
Why don't you hear me? 
Why don't you hear me? 
Give something back to me 
 
For the love that I crave 
You show me nothing but emptiness 
All the voices I hear 
But not one of them belongs to you 
All this fear inside 
You do nothing to comfort me 
I reach out to the light 
But you just feed me darkness 
 
Why don't you hear me? 
Why don't you hear me? 
Give something back to me

radio america 
 
And I can hear you 
Calling out my name 
I guess I didn't think you'd 
Waste your time. 
All the messages you've 
Made me send 
And all the broken hearts that 
You have to mend 
 
Radio America 
Like a drug 
We can't get enough 
Radio America 
The only way 
To fall in love 
 
And there are people 
Dancing in the streets 
FM junkies with 
A place to meet 
A generation that you ought to know 
A generation with nowhere to go 
 
Call in America 
 
Radio America 
Like a drug 
We can't get enough 
Radio America 
The only way 
To fall in love 
 
- 
 
satellites 
 
Just like satellites 
Travelling in circles 
Round and round 
Wandering in the dark 
Picking up a signal here and there 
 
Just like satellites 
We watch the world just pass us by 
Witnesses to war 
Powerless to bring about a change 
 
The same journey every day 
You keep watching me 
Watching you 
The same time and the same place 
You keep watching me 
Watching you 
The same dreams, same fantasies 
You keep watching me 
Watching you 
The same simple frailties 
I keep dreaming of being you

she's gone to london town 
 
Walking 'round the streets at night 
In a forest with no trees 
I'm going to keep on searching for you 
Until I'm on my hands and knees. 
 
In this foreign and frightening place 
Won't you tell me what makes you stay 
I never thought you were in love with the noise 
Or have you thrown our dreams away? 
 
If you want to meet the stars 
Then watch them on TV 
Cause back here where the sheets are cold 
Is where you ought to be. 
 
You're playing a game with me 
But I won't let you break my heart 
It's going to take more than a thousand miles 
To tear my whole life apart. 
 
She wanted to dance all night 
To the city lights and sounds 
Now I'm trying to get her back 
Cause she's gone to London town 
 
Love works in the strangest ways 
It can turn boys into fools 
It lets them fall then makes us crawl  
As she rewrites all the rules 
 
I've done all I can for you 
But you're a daydream renegade 
I'm going to keep on falling for you 
Until the lights of London fade 
 
She wanted to dance all night 
To the city lights and sounds 
Now I'm trying to get her back 
Cause she's gone to London town 
 
She's gone to London 
London town

shoreline 
 
In the beginning 
Our love was raw 
In our young dreams 
We'd die a thousand times 
In our seclusion 
We'd reconstruct the world 
All to fit our innocent designs 
 
Only for you 
My blood would flow 
Only for you 
My heart would slow 
Only for you 
I would stop time 
On the shoreline 
On the shoreline 
 
We would ‘shelter’ by steel in the sand 
Hear the waves whisper 
As they came to land 
Watch the flames 
Like them, we were free 
And it all feels like yesterday to me 
 
Only for you 
My blood would flow 
Only for you 
My heart would slow 
Only for you 
I would stop time 
On the shoreline 
On the shoreline

sleeping 
 
Do we all regret 
The things we never say 
Everything is too late 
When you’re sleeping 
 
You can’t hear my words 
In your forever dream 
But I know the stars are shining 
As you're sleeping 
 
Wish I could talk to you 
On a summer’s day 
But I’m sure there is a garden 
Where you’re sleeping 
 
Thank you 
For every day 
You’re never far away 
Only sleeping

slow motion pictures 
 
When you walk into the room 
I’m walking in the mist 
But I’m taking in every moment 
When you hold my hand 
I’m on the shore at dusk 
I’m on the edge of the world 
You could’ve stopped the story 
Could’ve ripped out the pages 
But you have faith in something 
 
'Please don’t let him feel your tears 
These slow motion pictures 
Let the boy run free' 
 
 When I feel your breathing 
It’s an autumn evening 
Far away from the machines 
And I don’t want to be here 
But I don’t want to lose you 
I’m on the edge of my world 
We will live forever 
In slow motion pictures 
We’ll stand on the shore together 
 
'Please don’t let him feel your tears 
These slow motion pictures 
Let the boy run free.'

small world 
 
Let's go find the storm 
Search for dark skies 
Fly into the clouds that are shrouding you 
Break into the cage 
Face the monsters 
You can set them free 
And end the heartbreak 
 
Behind those eyes 
A thousand stories lie 
Unfolding in your own 
Small world 
Your life betrays 
The plans that you once made 
Headlines in your own 
Small world 
 
The camera always lies 
Always false smiles 
An image of your life where emotions die 
History is blind 
To your patience 
It just hears romance in your silence 
 
Behind those eyes 
A thousand stories lie 
Unfolding in your own 
Small world 
Your life betrays 
The plans that you once made 
Headlines in your own 
Small world

sweet little demons 
 
Sweet little demons 
It's time for you to say goodbye 
Our journey has been something else 
While you made me stronger 
You made me want to die 
 
Jumping 
Falling 
Been in and out of love with you 
Bleeding 
Praying 
Was so in awe of you 
Fading 
Slipping 
Like drowning on dry land 
Losing 
Grieving 
Like no one takes your hand 
 
Sweet little demons 
If memory serves me well 
You promised me eternity 
But your deal with heaven 
Was a passport into hell 
 
Sweet little demons 
Stop talking behind my back 
Your twisted mind's run out of time 
I don't need your attention 
The red has turned to black. 
 
Jumping 
Falling 
Been in and out of love with you 
Bleeding 
Praying 
Was so in awe of you 
Fading 
Slipping 
Like drowning on dry land 
Losing 
Grieving 
Like no one takes your hand 
 
Sweet little demons 
It's time for you to say goodbye 
Sweet little demons 
It's time for you to say goodbye 
Say goodbye 
Please, say goodbye

the echo of your voice 
 
And I still feel the pain 
Of watching you slip away 
Just like I’d died 
But was still alive 
There’s a void within my soul 
A void that I cannot bridge 
No teacher in the classroom now 
 
And though the world 
Keeps turning round 
I wish that I could 
Hear the sound again that is 
The echo of your voice 
I know our lives must carry on 
But there’ll always be your song 
Within my heart 
That is the echo of your voice 
 
There’s so much left untold 
So much that I couldn’t say 
The children that you’d 
Never hold 
I held your hand and cried 
But I chose not to say goodbye 
For you will always 
Walk with me 
 
And though the world 
Keeps turning round 
I wish that I could 
Hear the sound again that is 
The echo of your voice 
I know our lives must carry on 
But there’ll always be your song 
Within my heart 
That is the echo of your voice 
 
- 
 
the end of your world 
 
No more blood on your hands 
No tears in your eyes 
No life to regret 
No more ears for your lies 
No weapons to build 
No voters to con 
No stories to spin 
Now the people are gone 
 
It's taken too long 
For the end of your world 
 
No more choking the skies 
No more drowning the seas 
No more genocide wars 
In the name of your greed 
Stick a pin through your heart 
And mount behind glass 
Label ‘suicide race, 
They belong in the past’ 
 
The waves are running clear 
For the end of your world 
The skies are filled with song 
For the end of your world 
There’s a new moon rising 
It marks the end of your world 
 
- 
 
the place to cry 

 
Forgive me being here 
But I need some silence 
The world outside 
Just won't leave me be 
I'm a stranger in this room 
I just don't belong here 
Sad songs and crosses 
I'll leave to you 
 
I don't believe in this 
I'm not looking for reasons 
It's just the place to cry 
I'm not here to pray 
I've heard all your stories 
It's just the place to cry 
 
I close my tired eyes 
And I'm in her garden 
The grass is green 
And the children laugh 
And for those moments 
I could fall for heaven 
And for a moment 
I walked with her 
 
I don't believe in this 
I'm not looking for reasons 
It's just the place to cry 
I'm not here to pray 
I've heard all your stories 
It's just the place to cry 
 
And for a moment 
I walked with you 
 
 - 
 
the village  
 
It'll be so strange 
When there is nothing after this 
I can see it now 
There'll be saints and sinners 
Looking for someone to blame 
 
We never learn 
Why build a bridge when you can 
Break a thousand hearts? 
We will fall down 
Just as long as we're 
The predator and the prey 
 
I close my eyes 
But all I see 
Is a world of broken dreams 
I look outside 
But all I've found 
Is paradise burned to the ground 
I look for light 
There's only shame 
Planes are falling in its name 
I look around 
And all I see 
Is the village where l once lived 
Left to bleed 
 
Do you kiss the girl 
Or do you sit her down and 
Look into her eyes? 
Do you reach for stars 
Or reconsider everything 
Back on the ground? 
 
The sky is blue 
It looks like heaven because it's far away 
Away from here 
From the village 
Where the people 'play' 
 
I close my eyes 
But all I see 
Is a world of broken dreams 
I look outside 
But all I've found 
Is paradise burned to the ground 
I look for light 
There's only shame 
Planes are falling in its name 
I look around 
And all I see 
Is the village where l once lived 
Left to bleed 
 
And we will fall down 
We will fall down 
 
- 
  
this is how you feel 
 
Love, this is how you feel 
You're broken wings that fly 
Love, this is how you feel 
An ocean, deep and clear 
 
And when I touch your face 
And kiss your lips 
It's like time standing still 
 
And when the world moves on 
And the heart slows down 
We'll remember here and now 
Love, this is how you feel 
 
- 
 
waiting for eden 
 
There'll be a day when the cold wind blows 
And there's a day when my words will slow 
Will you remember? 
Will you remember this? 
 
No-one knows what the future holds 
Only that it's where your dreams unfold 
And I don't want to...… 
...don't want to hold you back 
 
Like a leaf on the ground that's turning 
Like a stream in the winter that's freezing 
Like candlelight that fights but is fading 
I won't fight tomorrow 
I'll be waiting for Eden 
 
It might seem so far away 
And I'm planning for a distant day 
But if the rules change 
Please don't hesitate 
 
Your journey will be wonderful 
Your passengers will be beautiful 
And I will be there 
Always part of you 
 
Like a leaf on the ground that's turning 
Like a stream in the winter that's freezing 
Like candlelight that fights but is fading 
I won't fight tomorrow 
I'll be waiting for Eden 
 
- 
 
we fall in love   
 
Are there memories 
You wish you could wipe from your mind? 
Are there things you regret 
You thought you'd left behind? 
Well, these things will stay with you 
 
Is there dark in your soul 
Where ghosts walk on your grave? 
A long lost love in your heart 
Someone you thought you could save? 
Well, they're not planning to save you 
 
Forget the demons deep inside your mind 
And we fall in love 
Forget the reasons why you hate yourself 
And we fall in love 
 
Is there something inside you feel 
That you've got to share? 
Would you feel forgiven 
If you made me aware? 
Well, there's no-one to forgive you 
 
Take a picture of the person 
That you have become 
You can look back and smile 
At when your world was undone 
If you want to look back at all 
 
Forget the demons deep inside your mind 
And we fall in love 
Forget the reasons why you hate yourself 
And we fall in love 
 
- 
 
we'll be there 
 
An end to pain 
An end to law 
An end to rules and the third world war 
An end to everyone's common sense 
And we'll be there 
 
We'll buy a car 
To drive us to the sea 
We'll find the place 
Where lovers can make up their minds. 
Well I know that it's there cause 
I've been before 
I've run there in tears 
And knocked on the door. 
We'll take a chance 
And hope the ghost has died for good. 
 
An end to pain 
An end to law 
An end to rules and the third world war 
An end to everyone's common sense 
And we'll be there 
 
We bought the car 
And drove down to the shore 
We got a room 
But I forget what name I signed 
Because we've had enough 
Of the nine to five 
And cash is the drug 
That keeps greed alive 
So we won't play 
Our characters in life's charade. 
 
- 
 
you can cry now 

 
I looked into your eyes 
But no-one looked back at me 
And I realised 
Our love was paralysed 
I put my hand to your heart 
But its beat was not for me 
It must be time to close the door 
Nothing here for us anymore 
 
I will make do with just the memories 
So, you can cry now 
You can cry now. 
Your touch and your kiss 
Are now history 
So, you can cry now 
I wish you'd cry now. 
 
I walk into the night 
But the stars don't shine for me 
Like they'd always shine for you 
Now the night is just an empty room 
Walked this path so many times 
Should know the way by now 
With love there's seldom compromise 
Only sacrifice. 
  
I will make do with just the memories 
So, you can cry now 
You can cry now. 
Your touch and your kiss are now history 
So, you can cry now 
I wish you'd cry now
