River of Fire [Glen Burtnik]

Image
River of Fire Written by Glen Burtnik and Stan Meissner Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik Night lights up the ghosts in my heart. I watch them burn as I stare in the dark. Wrestling emotions I'm drawn to the flame, Caught by the shadows that call out your name. Searching for some kind of escape, I find my way right here to this place Where the night has no end. All of my life my dreams run wild Now I stand alone in this river of fire. Through days of despair, nights of desire I wait for you in this river of fire. I still remember that look in your eye. I wish I knew then that it was goodbye. I try to fight it but I know I can't win. Sometimes your dreams just get lost in the wind. But something beyond all time and space Leads me right back here to this place, To the edge of the world. All of my life my dreams run wild Now I stand alone in this river of fire. Through days of despair, nights of desire I wait for you in this river of fire. Someday I'll get past this madness Over the...

Hanging [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Image
Hanging Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett I have faith in you, you're not coming back You never let me down when it comes to that As the floorboard creaks The hollows echo And the shutter slam I'm left by myself to define who I am And I'm left hanging here for you Left hanging here for you Left hanging Left hanging I'm hanging here Searching for Words to say As you walk out the door My cup filled with clouds of Half and Half Patsy Cline sang her epitaph Surrounded by tobacco silhouettes As the ashes piled up like regrets I'm hanging here for you Left hanging here for you Left hanging Left hanging I'm hanging here Searching for Words to say As you walk out the door Oh, left hanging here for you Ooh, left hanging here for you Oh, left hanging here for you Oh, left hanging here for you Oh, left hanging here for you Ooh Left hanging here Left hanging here Left hanging here Left hanging here

My Big Brain [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Image
My Big Brain Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett Lead Vocals by  Scott Bennett My big brain Read somewhere Happiness Is a symptom of despair Now I'm wondering how I could let you go What I was thinking I'll never know Because My big heart Loved you so But my big brain Has a mind of its own Alone the honey moon dripped droplets of light As the poet dips his pen In night If you think hard enough surely you'll find Love is entirely in your mind Says my big brain My big brain My big brain My big brain

Don't Get Mad [James Young Group featuring JY]

Don't Get Mad Written by Michael Baran, Peter Spero Lead Vocals by James Young and ?? Is it haze or just illusion What'd I say that's so amusin'? What was love is now confusion Listen to me Heart breaks heart it's never even Lie meets lie now what's the reason Pain inside I gotta leave it Time for action 'Cause I don't get mad I get even No I don't get mad I get even Way down in from the surface Mad man lives deep within us When did life become a circus? Can you hear me Fire burns it's gettin' stronger Can't hold back, now how much longer Eyes closed tight but I can see you Stand and face me 'Cause I don't get mad I get even And it's my desire, what I believe in No I don't get mad, I get even Break down dawn on the horizon Flame on flame temperature risin' Steel meets flesh it's compromisin' Just you watch me Nights are long when you're the reason Sweat no sleep just heavy breathin' No sweet dreams just...

Heart's Not the Same [James Young Group featuring JY]

Image
Heart's Not The Same Written by Kit Hain, Tina Shafer Lead Vocals by Lou DePasqua Looking back through the hourglass You and me had the future in our hands I always saw the two of us strong together But we can't hold the shifting sands Now it breaks me down to lose you But I don't know any other way 'Cause your heart's not the same Something inside has turned around the bend And you're hearing that lonely voice call Through all of your changes And everything we tried to get it back again I know that I have to let you go It's crystal clear in the looking glass I see myself through different eyes Haunted by the memory of lovin' you And listening to the echo of goodbye Well there's a time and place for every dream And darlin' ours just slipped away 'Cause your heart's not the same Something inside has turned around the bend And you're hearing that lonely voice call Through all of your changes And everything we tried to get it back again ...

Don't Talk To Me Anymore [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Image
Don't Talk To Me Anymore Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw When I look at what's been going on I have to laugh to keep from crying When I think of how it used to be And how so much has changed I never thought to look down that road To see the distance in your eyes And now to think of all that might have been I don't know who to blame At last to sleep, to dream Escape the world that might have been Enough to face the sun again To feel the love shine through the rain Don't talk to me anymore Don't talk to me oh no no no If I ever get over you If my memory starts to fade away Don't be sorry and don't feel sad That's just the way it should be A lesson learned is a penny earned Thank the banker for keeping count of Keep these treasures buried deep in the ground Saved for the bridges we burned A chance to live again To breathe the air, let freedom in To face the world a different man Be who I might have never been Don't talk...

Where You Goin' Now [Damn Yankees, featuring Tommy Shaw]

Image
Where You Goin' Now Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent Lead Vocals by Jack Blades There's a face in the mirror And you close your eyes Much easier to turn away Than to take a look inside So you're thinking it's over Walking away Let your little world crash and burn Oh what a price to pay Didn't anybody tell you It's not who's right or wrong Hold the line Is this what's going on Where you goin' now When your world's turned inside out Isn't the love what it's all about Where you goin' now When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will There's a crack in the mirror There's a hole in the sun Full moon in the midnight sky And you feel like you want to run So you blow out the candle And you turn out the light Then you stumble into darkness Do you believe that love is blind Didn't anybody tell you It's never too late to try Hold the line Before you say goodbye Where you going' now When your worl...

Don't Walk Away Written by Andy Hill, Peter Sinfield Lead Vocals by John Waite Wise men Thinking of numbers Shaken not stirred But I hang Hang on your every word These days I roll with the punches Always your clown Do you remember when We used to paint this town Red gold green and blue If you still believe in me, and you don't walk away I know I'll find an answer if you stay Don't walk away There's nothing in tomorrow That wasn't there in yesterday Oh no no no no no All the heartache Too many nights In the heartbreak hotel Don't you give up Love is a carousel Put on your dancing shoes And we can paint this town Red gold green and blue If you still believe in me And you don't walk away I know I'll find an answer If you stay Don't walk away There's nothing in tomorrow That wasn't there in yesterday I'm sad that's all This can't be the end It's not my fault The rain on the roof Reach out Reach out I'm drownin' not wav...

Perfect World Written by Glen Burtnick, Steve Krikorian Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick      In a perfect world It would never end like this There'd be something we could do In a perfect world Lovers wake up with a kiss And their wishes all come true But here we are I thought you belonged to me It seemed like the perfect arrangement Ain't it funny when you find how wrong you can be 'Cause oh This ain't no perfect world I've got my problems No No this ain't no perfect world You've got your problems, too Now what do we do? In a perfect world I'd have been the boy you need I'd have been somebody else In a perfect world You'd have been the girl for me Yeah, you could have been yourself You see, we're dying for love But we're afraid to drop our guard Lost in a world gone crazy Where the men won't grow up And the women get so hard And oh This ain't no perfect world I've got my problems No No this ain't no perfect world You've g...

As Bad As This

As Bad As This Written by John Curulewski Lead vocals by John Curulewski Listen on YouTube Did you ever in your life before feel as bad as this? Did you ever in good time think my life had gone amiss? Now I feel I've been unfair 'cause I kept you hanging there. Did you ever in your life before feel as bad as this? God knows I tried a half a year but it didn't do no good. My damnedest try to make it work, I knew it never would. Now there's nothin' wrong with you, and there's nothing you could ever do. God knows I tried a half a year but it didn't do no good. The times were good, but over now, a pleasant memory. I'm sorry, there's another face one that's close to me. You know 'bout what I learned, and there's no stone left unturned. The times were good, but over now, a pleasant memory. (Sigh)
