“TAKE ME TO THE PLACES THAT I LOVE”
AVIATION
In preparation for flight with you
I cover my wings in solitude
They say the heavens are warm these days
And I want to fly with you
I want to fly with you
FLY TO THE MOON
I was in the middle of nothing
When she said to me
Why don’t we fly to the moon
I said my bags are packed
And my heart is free
So I’m ready to go
Let’s fly to the moon
And we’ll take it as we find it
Let’s fly to the moon
And we will take it, one day at a time
We were lost in the milky way
When she said to me
I think that I’m falling in love
And I said I know what you mean
This is all that it seems
Are we ready to go
We were caught in the atmosphere
When she said to me
Wherever you go there’ll be stars
And I said your gravity It is pulling me
And I’m ready to go
DANNY BOY
I’m half a mile from nowhere
And I love you, as much as I can
Does it feel enough girl
Do you doubt me and all that I am
I will wait silently
Till you come home to meet me
I see stars enough for everyone
Oh Danny Boy, the love of my life
Hold me tight I’m falling over you
Oh Danny Boy, the love of my life
I hold my head in my hands
I’m a fool girl, I’m a foolish man
I never dream of tear-drops
I’m a wild man, that’s what I am
FLICKER
I thought I saw a flicker
I thought I saw something in your eyes
I thought I was epic
But you didn’t even see my tears
And here I go again
I’m going home alone
No more will I cry
And no more will I hide myself away
No more will I say
And no more will I do, the things you do
I’m coming back stronger
Than I’ve ever been before I don’t need a flicker from you I’ll meet a songbird for sure
I thought you were perfect
I thought I saw a flicker in your eye
I thought this was a classic
I thought I saw a tear in your eye
I’m not going there again
I’m not going home alone
I did not say I miss you
Oh I thought there was something
But the stars caught my eyes
I just lie where I’m fallen
I’ll be stronger without you
STARLIGHT (YOU AMAZE ME)
I’m not sure we can make it
I’m not sure we can find our way
Cos my mind’s in the mainstream, baby yeh
And your heart’s in the starlight
I’m not sure on the inside
I’m not sure if I’m inside out
Cos my mind’s in the mainstream, baby yeh
And your heart’s in the starlight
I fool around with your heart
But still you believe in me
I fool around with your heart
But still you believe in me
Your starlit heart amazes me
GIANTS
Wake me up, don’t let me dream
I have no time for dreamers
Don’t see the world, through the eyes
Of ordinary people
Say you’ll never let me go
And stand me in the way of giants, for you
And I won’t fall
Take a chance, follow me
I know the roads to walk on
I don’t feel, at my best
With ordinary people
Say you’ll never let me go
And stand me in the way of giants, for you
And I won’t fall
You are, everything to me
And we are, a lesson to be learnt
By lovers
Wake me up, don’t let me dream
I have no time for dreamers
I don’t feel, at my best
With ordinary people
Stand me in the way of giants
