When I came I was a stranger Spanish boots just walking by At your house I saw the danger So alone and terrified Can’t you see me bleeding? Can’t you hear me call? Can’t you see what you are reading? What I’ve written on the wall? Nothing ever scares me like the silence Turning all your fire into ice Candles that get darkened by the violence Twisted words another sacrifice When I came I was much stronger Touching souls and tasting more Shadows now seems so much longer Selling grace from door to door Don’t you know I’m leaving Don’t you care at all Don’t you find that make believing Wasted time to learn to fall Nothing ever scares me like the silence Turning all your fire into ice Candles that get darkened by the violence Twisted words another sacrifice

Cutting corners to get into your heart Cutting corners to be sure that I’ll reach you Cutting corners to get into your heart I gotta get a head start To get into your heart To get into your heart Only guy who ever counts Is the guy who comes in first Second best can just as well Coming third or even worse There were some that said I never ever have a chance Like they said that I Whould never ever rate a glance Look what I’ve got in my hands Cutting corners to get into your heart Cutting corners to be sure that I’ll reach you Cutting corners to get into your heart I gotta get a head start To get into your heart To get into your heart Never say you’re out of luck When you’ve find you’ve lost the game Only you can make it change So don’t try to fix the blame There were some that said Why do you even wanna try Goin’ home and see Her walking with some other guy Second best it aint my style Cutting corners to get into your heart Cutting corners to be sure that I’ll reach you Cutting corners to get into your heart I gotta get a head start To get into your heart To get into your heart I gotta get a head start To get into your heart To get into your heart Cutting corners to get into your heart Cutting corners to be sure that I’ll reach you Cutting corners to get into your heart La la la la…. To get into your hea---rt

As the break of dawn came closer All my hopes seemed so forlorn. The mist hid signs of laughter And the light eluded all. My despair was caught in motion A face just barely true Shadows in blue. A flash in the night . . . In the changing of the season Releasing one lost name. The scar once healed forever Dissolving in the rain. A twig snapped in the clearing A glimpse on golden skin My face within A flash in the night . . . My despair was caught in motion A face just barely true A flash in the night . . .

Fingers walk the edge of time We don't know just how to taste it. Like a blue and wailing song Our time runs in and then runs out - wasted. Rubbing sleep out of your eyes Waking up to find me calling. Let's not wait or take too long The castle you once built so strong is falling Cry softly time is mourning Longing for you at the dawning. Baby, dreams will last forever. Tell me your heart is burning Knowing that the tide is turning Baby, dreams will last forever Forever See the night pass in my eyes Feel the pain inside me crying Like a blue and wailing song Our time runs in and then runs out - dying. Cry softly time is mourning Longing for you at the dawning. Baby, dreams will last forever. Tell me your heart is burning Knowing that the tide is turning Baby, dreams will last forever Forever…

If I Try 04:11
Questions never described I’m on my feet and flyin high That is a lie If you know what I mean Just stand up and tap the tambourine Sign on to the team Time is right And no one´s ever wrong At least not all the time Late at night I wish I knew today What else I left behind It’s just that if I try Never give it up If I try Oh-oh-oh Holding on to you Won’t you tell me not to worry If I try Never give it up If I try Would I lie to you? Answers runnin around I’ll pay the cost and turn ´em down If they are found Outside-mapping the stars Diamond girls are playin´ cheap guitars Showing off their scars Rendez-vous And I’ll be seeing you If you don’t stop and stare After you I think I rather stick around and play in here

It was a simple story Of provocation No claim of fame no glory Just aggravation That might be an answer Fading away Running like a shadow Wanting to stay Oh-oh It was a simple story Burning hot and learning When you tip toe cross the floor It’s hard to face the music When the dancer you have loved Walks out the door Burning hot and learning Like I frozen picture frame No one else can help me stop the pain There’s not a hint of Christie No investigation At times my mind goes misty To much sedation All that midnight phantoms Sharing my bed Mixing up the reasons Inside my head Oh-oh It was a simple story Burning hot and learning When you tip toe cross the floor It’s hard to face the music When the dancer you have loved Walks out the door Burning hot and learning When you tip toe cross the floor It’s hard to face the music When the dancer you have loved Walks out the door No one else can help me stop the pain Burning hot and learning When you tip toe cross the floor It’s hard to face the music When the dancer you have loved Walks out the door Burning hot and learning Like I frozen picture frame No one else can help me stop the pain

Down stopping home I close the door Watching Julietta, watching Julietta Senses in spirit, I need you more Watching Julietta, watching Julietta She waves her hand at someone But keeps her love as no on else but me At night when we are walking One thing is through a talking Why would it be Watching Julietta Dance in the sunlight Touching her mind Watching Julietta, watching Julietta She waves her hand at someone But keeps her love as no one else but me At night when we are walking One thing is through a talking Why would it be Watching Julietta Praise in her moves Laze in her smile Watching Julietta, watching Julietta Watching Julietta Dance in the sunlight Touching her mind Watching Julietta, watching Julietta
