Lyrics:


Like Honey

Like fine silk, you're pleasure.
When night falls on rare wine,
Like Honey, you're sweeter. 

Like fire, you're burning,
Like white fury burning
When night falls on stone rooms,
Like Fire, you're burning 

I'll love you forever,
Till seas lose their freedom 
And night falls no longer.
I'll love you forever. 

So rise; so rise and learn to fly
Help the lonely hour of the night pass by
So rise,
So rise and spread your wings
Help the lonely hour of the night begin.
So fly...
So fly... 

Like Honey, you're sweeter,
Like fine silk, you're pleasure.
When night falls on rare wine,
Like Honey, you're sweeter. 

I'll love you forever,
Till seas lose their freedom 
And night falls no longer.
I'll love you forever.


Liar

I won't ever leave-while you want me to stay	
nothing you could do-that could turn me away,
hanging on every word-believing the things I heard
being a fool. 
	
You've taken my life-so take my soul 
that's what you said-and I believed it all 
I want to be with you-long as you want me to
I won't move away. 
	
Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said,
ain't that what you said?
Liar-Liar-Liar
	
May I see no night-may I see no day,
If I ever leave-while you want me to stay 
You can believe in me-I won't be leaving, I won't let you go. 
	
Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said,
ain't that what you said?
Liar-Liar-Liar

Liar-Liar-Liar
Liar-Liar-Liar
Liar-Liar.
Like Honey, you're sweeter. 
	
I'll love you forever,
Till seas lose their freedom 
And night falls no longer.
I'll love you forever.


Be Free
	
I said you'd be free, didn't I?
I said you'd climb high, didn't I? 
I took you out to the sky, 
I told you one day you'd fly. 

You didn't believe me, did you then?
You didn't look up, did you then?
You didn't look to the sky,
You didn't believe you'd fly,
You didn't believe you'd fly. 

If you're going to spread your wings 
And hear the song that freedom sings,
Remember that I told you to be free.
If you're going to sweep the sky 
And feel the wind come rushing by, 
Remember that I told you to be free, be free. be free 
Remember that I told you to be free.


Schoolgirl
		
Remember when you were a schoolgirl, schoolgirl 
When we played love games like children do.
And in some games I used to pull your hair
And other games at your house with no one there. 

Schoolgirl, schoolgirl; those loveletters that you handed to me
Schoolgirl, schoolgirl; early Mondays and Sundays for tea 
I must have been a fool not to fall for you when you were a schoolgirl 

Remember when you were a schoolgirl, schoolgirl
Those holidays when I showed you what I had.
Remember when your mother caught us there,
My father kept me in for being bad! 

Schoolgirl, schoolgirl; those loveletters that you handed to me
Schoolgirl, schoolgirl; early Mondays and Sundays for tea
I must have been a fool not to fall for you when you were a schoolgirl.


Dance in the Smoke
		
We will light a giant burning fire tonight
We will build it and dance in the smoke.
And every branch we'll tie somebody's worry to it
We will burn it and dance in the smoke. 

I recall it was to tall to see the flames grow high.
But on tip-toe the flames would grow and burn into the sky. 

We will light a giant burning fire tonight 
We will build it and dance in the smoke.
And every branch we'll tie somebody's worry to it
We will burn it and dance in the smoke.


Loneky Hard Road

I'm walking on a lonely hard road
I'm walking on a lonely hard road 
I haven't got much money;-with some luck I'll hitch a lorry
Or keep carrying this heavy load. 

Thinking about her last night
I've been thinking it over, and she was right. 
Like a fool, I made her run away
But I'll walk this lonely hard road to find her someday 

I'm walking on a lonely hard road
I'm walking on a lonely hard road
I haven't got much money;-with some luck I'll hitch a lorry
Or keep carrying this heavy load. 

'Though I've never said it before; when I find her again 
I won't hurt her no more.
So I'm gonna say it again; gonna find her someday 
And she won't get away no more. 

I'm walking on a lonely hard road
I'm walking on a lonely hard road
I haven't got much money;-with some luck I'll hitch a lorry 
Or keep carrying this heavy load. 
I'm walking on a lonely hard road. 

Walking down this lonely hard road, just to be with my woman
I'm gonna get my baby back;-walking on this lonely hard road
So I'll just keep walking, on this lonely hard road.


The Feeling Inside
		
When you woke up on this cold winter's day,
She looked so beautiful, you cried.
And if you're feeling very good today, it's 'cause you love her, the feelings
inside. 

She bought you coffee in a special cup
Which made you warm from deep inside.
And if you're feeling very good today,
It's cause you love her, the feelings inside. 

And you begin to feel your life was changed
Because you loved, her there is nothing to hide, 
And 'though you know how well, it still seems strange
To think you loved her, you loved her. 

She bought you coffee in a special cup
Which made you warm from deep inside.
And if you're feeling very good today,
It's cause you love her, the feelings inside.


Freefall
		
You say you're free to run wild,
And I think I'm falling down, I'm falling down.
Your words are spinning around my head,
I think I'm falling down.
And it's so hard believing you're leaving me now 
When you wanted me from the start.
Or maybe you're just a little angry, and you're pushing me out of your heart
Into freefall. 

Maybe it's the state that you are
That you're longing so hard to be free.
But this is throwing our love so far 
Into freefall. 

And it's so hard believing you're leaving me now
When you wanted me from the start.
Or maybe you're just a little angry, and you're pushing me out of your heart
Into freefall. 

I feel like a child
Whose feelings are hard to hide 

You're running so wild 
That now I'm confused inside.
Think, you're losing a friend 
You're in freefall.


Stepping Stone

Remember days when we were close and warm, as night turned to dawn.
Long heated summer days of sun and wine seemed to short at the time. 

I would gladly make you happy,
I would surely try.
But you feel you must be free, so
I must say so long and kiss you goodbye, 

'Cause I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone,
No, I won't be your stepping stone,
Oh, I won't be your stepping stone.
Remember fresh and sweet the thought of summer ways 
Loving nights lazy days.
Warm, scented evenings when we shared a lot to say:
Now the words fade away. 

I would love to make you happy,
I would surely try.
But you feel you must be free, so
I must say so long and kiss you goodbye, 

'Cause I won't be your stepping stone 
No, I won't be your stepping stone,
No, I won't be your stepping stone,
Oh, I won't be your stepping stone.


Bring You Joy

You made me feel like I never could feel
To the depths of my soul.
Now for the first time, I'm living for real,
And I feel I'm made whole. 

And I will sacrifice to bring you joy.
Yes, I will spend my life to bring you joy. 

Bring you joy, like you have never known before
Bring you joy, make you scream and shout for more
Take this Boy, and from misery you'll soar 
Into joy that you'll feel for evermore. 

And I'll make you feel so happy you could cry
And I'll make you feel so happy you will die. 

Sing and shout, throw your feelings to the skies.
Sing and shout, let the joy within you rise.
Shout it out, that you want to laugh and cry 
Want to shout, want to spread your wings and fly, 

And I'll make you feel so happy you could cry
And I'll make you feel so happy you will die. 

You made me feel like I never could feel
To the depths of my soul.
Now for the first time, I'm living for real,
And I feel I'm made whole. 

And I will sacrifice to bring you joy.
Yes, I will spend my life to bring you joy.
