    1. Intro

    ( instrumental )

    2. Goodbye Baby Blue

      She arrived so unexpectedly, with a thousand untold truths
      Hidden in behind a smile, you couldn’t see through
      And all those frown lines on her forehead
      Disappeared before my eyes
      She told me I’d arrived, just in time

      And you could see it in her face
      There was more than meets the eye
      Something hidden all those years and hidden deep inside

      So Goodbye Baby Blue
      Goodbye Baby Blue
      I spent so long thinking of you

      She would lie awake, every night I’d hear her cry
      Her mind in slow decay, I guess she couldn’t take goodbye

      So Goodbye Baby Blue
      Goodbye Baby Blue
      It’s been so long, I’m thinking of you

      So Goodbye Baby Blue
      Goodbye Baby Blue
      It’s been so long, I’m thinking of you

      I’m thinking of you

    3. Change

      Making the most of it
      Turning a light up and
      Breaking the back of a
      Killing the negative
      Finding the faith isn’t
      As much as I’d like it to be
      Follow the path set by
      Somebody else’s hand
      Craving addiction and
      Living in fear of me

      But I don’t think that I can change
      I’ve been feeling this way for so long now
      And this feeling inside still remains
      I aint gonna change
      Aint gonna change

      Bent on destruction I
      Have no intention
      Black into day into
      Dark into Night I go
      Blaming myself like I
      I’m in control of it
      I Turn it around for a
      Just for the fun of it
      Back to the start I go
      I Wish I had learned from you

      But I don’t think that I can change
      I’ve been feeling this way for so long now
      And this feeling inside still remains
      I aint gonna change
      Aint gonna change

    4. Along The Way

      Yes I found heaven and I can take you there
      And I found a reason but you don’t care
      So turn your back don’t look round close your eyes make no sound are you leaving?
      Close the door like before turn around are you sure that you mean it?
      And you can take another step along the way

      Just keep your eyes on the road
      That lies before you
      Take advice from a fool
      Who chose to ignore you
      And choose the side of the fence that you sit and just keep crossing that bridge

      Take it or leave it
      The decision is yours now
      Is it time to get even or time to just go now?

      But as you’re breaking free you mean nothing to me just a memory
      And the memories will fade just like tides drift away to the sea

      Keep your eyes on the road that lies before you
      Take advice from a fool
      Who chose to ignore you
      And choose the side of the fence that you sit
      Just believe in it now
      And walk away from the world you don’t fit
      And just keep crossing that bridge.

      Keep your eyes on the road that lies before you
      Take advice from a fool
      Who chose to ignore you
      And choose the side of the fence that you sit
      Just believe in it now
      And walk away from the world you don’t fit
      But just keep crossing that bridge

      Yes I found Heaven

    5. Yesterday

      Don’t talk to me
      It’s time to walk away and make it easy
      Cause I can’t see clear
      And the further away you go, the more I want you near

      I Wish It Was Yesterday
      How I wish it was yesterday

      I can’t erase, I’ve been thinking about you every day
      Place faith in me
      I just find this all so hard to believe

      I wish it was yesterday. Cause you’d be in my life again
      I just wish it was yesterday, putting wrongs to right again
      I wish it was yesterday
      Today is only just another day without

      We watched the sun go down
      Stayed out in the rain
      We’d talk all night
      And dream all day

      And why I wish it was yesterday? Cause you’d be in my life again
      I just wish it was yesterday putting wrongs to right again
      I wish it was yesterday
      Today is only just another day without

      That’s why I wish it was yesterday, Cause you’d be in my life again
      I wish it was yesterday, so the sun would shine again
      I just wish it was yesterday
      Today is only just another day without

      Another Day Without

    6. Beach

      Lets all go down to the beach
      Breathe in the air, take in the sun

      Lie there trying not to notice
      What goes on around you
      Buried and unseen

      I know it wasn’t done on purpose
      It rests beneath the surface
      Hidden from your view

      Lets all stroll into the sea
      Washing away the memories

      Try to stop yourself from drowning all the fears surrounding
      Everyone you meet
      They know
      They don’t know I think so
      Heaven waits an answer
      Prayers are seldom heard

      I know it wasn’t done on purpose
      It rests beneath the surface
      Hidden from your view
      They know
      They don’t know I think so
      Heaven waits an answer
      Prayers are seldom heard

    7. Cry If You Want To

      Just when I was getting over you
      You appeared from out of nowhere
      A little older and wiser
      But I’m at pains to believe in you

      I can’t imagine you’d remember me
      You never did spend much time thinking about me
      And time will not erase
      Oh that memory
      It won’t erase the memory

      Cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to
      You can cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to cry

      You seem a little heavy round the eyes
      Another line or two on that ageing forehead of yours
      But you know just what to do
      To reel me in
      You always throw me back again

      Cry if you want to don’t cry if you don’t want to
      You can cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to
      You can cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to

      I blame me
      I should have known much better than this
      Cause inside I believe
      Only for you

      Cry if you want to don’t cry if you don’t want to
      Cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to

      You can cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to
      Cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to

      Cry if you want to don’t cry if you don’t want to

      You can cry if you want to and don’t cry if you don’t want to
      Cry if you want to don’t cry if you don’t want to cry

    8. Beautiful Child

      It was faith that brought me here
      Conversation of the year
      You talked so much but nothing said
      Empty words just fill my head

      I can’t lie
      But I could try

      You’re beautiful
      Beautiful
      A beautiful child

      Little by little you fade away
      I’m just living for the next day
      With that in mind, I say goodbye

      To beautiful
      Beautiful
      Beautiful
      Beautiful child

      So as I’m trying to understand
      Just move on to the next man

      I can’t lie
      But I could try

      You’re Beautiful
      Beautiful
      Beautiful
      A beautiful child

      Nan Na Na na na na na

      You’re Beautiful
      Beautiful
      Beautiful
      A beautiful child
      Nan Na Na na na na na

      Shut Up

    9. She Fades Away

      She says the feelings won’t slip away, Yeah
      And he says, she never felt them anyway

      She stares out of the window the world just walks on by
      The faces she won’t meet, she won’t even try
      And she fades away
      She fades away, just fades away
      Like a smile upon her face, disappears without a trace
      She fades away

      She lies there in the darkness
      The moon lights up her face, yeah
      Her breath steams up the window, her smile seems out of place
      Strange how she feels just fine, can’t feel the pain this time
      She lets the moment pass
      And it seems so far away but the memory’s here to stay
      In the bottom of her glass and she fades away
      She fades away, just fades away
      Like a smile upon her face disappears without a trace
      She fades away

      She says she’s hoping that her time will never come
      Turn and face it or to turn around and run
      She lies there thinking has the moment passed her by
      But never thinks to ask the reason why
      And she fades away

      She fades away
      Just fades away
      Like a smile upon her face
      Disappears without a trace
      She fades away
      She fades away
      Just fades away

    10. I Look For You There

      I Look For You There
      Music and Lyrics by Steve Wilson
      I look for you there
      I look for you there
      This dream won’t let me in
      This dream won’t let me in

    11. Believe

      She said I like the way you smile at me
      Always makes me feel so young
      And that’s the difference between you and all the other ones

      She kept a note of all the things he said
      In a diary hidden under her bed
      And every now and then she’d sleep with it held in her hand
      Pretend he was there

      And that’s all that she believes in
      Lives her life pretending one day
      He’ll come home again
      Don’t think she’ll ever lose that feeling
      Until the day

      Until there’s nothing left in front of you
      Until there’s nothing left that you can do
      Until regret remains the parting view
      Forget it

      She said I like the way you smile at me
      I just know that I should hold on
      And that’s the difference between
      Me and all the other ones

      And that’s all that she believes in
      Lives her life pretending one day
      He’ll come home again
      Don’t think she’ll ever lose that feeling
      Until the day

      Until there’s nothing left in front of you
      Until there’s nothing left that you can do
      Until regret remains the parting view
      Forget it

      Until there’s nothing left in front of you
      Until there’s nothing left that you can do
      Until regret remains the parting view
      Forget it

    12. Another Day

      Some things disappear inside, should I try to run away
      If I could I would escape you
      I won’t argue anymore, I have lost the will to be
      Hope you don’t think I’m ungrateful?
      Why, why are you laughing?
      Is it something that I said?

      I don’t like this place at all, makes me wonder what I’m here for
      Someone take this pain away
      Dying to see another day

      Close the curtains lock the door, left my note upon the stair
      In the hope you wouldn’t read it
      Fake emotions in my head, everything I’ve seen and read
      Can’t begin to find a reason

      I don’t like this place at all, makes me wonder what I’m here for
      Someone take this pain away
      Dying to see another day
      And I don’t want to be your friend, or pretend I can fit into
      I’m incensed, I’m blown away
      Dying to see another day
