Falling and speechless, alone and then Laughing at secrets of hope again. Love comes for some like a fool's gold Some keep searching for something shining to have and to hold Mining for TRUE GOLD Trying to find TRUE GOLD Truth and lies fall into the heart The two are hard to tell apart Something true is all you're thinking of Sometimes it seems like too much to ask Such an ill-forsaken task That's just trying to find someone to love Falling and speechless, alone and then Laughing at secrets of hope again. Love comes for some like a fool's gold Some keep searching for something shining to have and to hold Mining for TRUE GOLD Trying to find TRUE GOLD French horn - Jeff de Rosa @SONG: GUARDIAN ANGEL Try to believe in this thing There's a guardian in the wings. I know you feel all alone Words can hurt like sticks and stones. Come and look this way I wish you could hear me say I've been in all your lonely days. I'M YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU I'M YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL And when you fall, I'm around When you cry, I know the sounds Don't be afraid, I'll set you free When you need love, think of me Come and look this way I wish you could hear me say I've been in all your lonely days. I'M YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU I'M YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL Additional guitar - Carl Verheyen @SONG: BLUE SOLITAIRE A hundred years and a thousand nights A blue colder than snow A man with promise was coming to me Where do promise go? Where do they go? Lone like a tree in the winter Empty and bare Never a word of good-bye It froze in the air BLUE SOLITAIRE He rushed to my side and from out of nowhere He was stealing a kiss We were so young and foolish at heart Never knew if would turn out like this The turn of a kiss. Gone on a plane in the night I never knew if he cared Never a word of goodbye It frozen in the air BLUE SOLITAIRE BLUE SOLITAIRE BLUE SOLITAIRE Trumpet - Chris Tedesco Additional guitar - Carl Verheyen @SONG: VESSEL Oboe - Catherine Del Russo Cello - Harry Gilbert @SONG: WORLD ON A WING The world keeps spinning 'round Spinning while you sleep Flying 'way the minutes Minutes never keep Wheels turning on ahead Turning by so fast Time is on no one's side Nothing never lasts On and on and on, on and on WORLD ON A WING Pay the piper, he'll soon be gone WORLD ON A WING The world keeps turning 'round Turning in a dance Moving never stopping Are there any accidents? Clocks turning on ahead I take no faith in luck Everything will pass someday Always in a flux On and on and on, on and on WORLD ON A WING Pay the piper, he'll soon be gone WORLD ON A WING French horn - Jeff de Rosa Cello - Harry Gilbert @SONG: SANTA MARIA Lady In a night full of rain Sailed the future Out where no one ever came No one knew her name Was just a dream SANTA MARIA Sun and moon and sea SANTA MARIA She is calling me Silver skies are shining where we'll dance and weep Tearful eyes sing "vida es mia" SANTA MARIA Badlands It's only in your hands We will leave when The sun comes behind the land Candles in the sand Burning bright SANTA MARIA Winds to sail the sea SANTA MARIA She is calling me Silver skies are shining where we'll dance and weep Tearful eyes sing "vida es mia" SANTA MARIA SANTA MARIA Additional guitar - Carl Verheyen Trumpet - Chris Tedesco @SONG: WIND WITHOUT WALLS Now I lay me down to sleep. A child prays his soul to keep. He never shuts his eyes, He lays awake to watch the skies. The trees are moving in the shadows Of the silver mirror moon And he sees... WIND WITHOUT WALLS WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS A child always dreams When he's awake - when he's asleep It seems. A child sees the wind, He sees things we cannot imagine - Lions stalking, toys are talking. Is it make-believe? And he sees... WIND WITHOUT WALLS WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS Flugahorn - Chris Tedesco Heartbeat - Christie @SONG: LEGEND OF FOUNTAINS English horn - Catherine Del Russo Cello - Harry Gilbert @SONG: A MILE OF BROKEN STONE I'd never let myself smell the roses I'd drink a bitter wine With memories of Moses In a broken line. My idols on pedestals - I threw them all away, 'Cause I could not tell the lies From the light of day. Oh, Happiness Road Is hard way to hoe A mile of broken stone miles all alone miles and miles Bitterness is a cruel mistress I was standing in line And I guess I missed this Warning sign No bills posted No message on the wall You'll get it at all. 'Cause Happiness road Is hard way to hoe A mile of broken stone miles all alone miles and miles We make our own myths It's only hit or miss And anything else would be Better than this Better than a mile of broken stone miles all alone miles and miles miles and miles miles and miles...
