Face the Truth

"Face the Truth"
I've been waiting, waiting for the sunrise
I wipe the dust from my eyes
As night becomes the dawn
In the silence I thought I heard you crying
And I just feel like dying
As I walk through that door

Is this some kind of dream
This can't be what it seems
Where are you
I'm in the danger zone
I'm out here all alone
What am I supposed to do

Face the truth
Tell me, can you face the truth
With your life
Face the truth
Tell me what you're gonna do
With your life

I am praying
That you'll be waiting for me
Just roll the dice and you'll see
'Cause I'll be standing there
In the sunlight
I will be at your side
For me to make it alright
Hope you understand

I just can't lose control
This is my heart and soul
Can't you see, can't you see
The perfect alibi
Just give it one more try
What am I supposed to do

Face the truth
Tell me, can you face the truth
With your life
Face the truth
Tell me what you're gonna do
With your life

Can you face it

"Night Buzz"
When it's calling I will be there
Need it more than you will realize
It can take you to the borderline
Always staring through my crystal eyes

I only wanna live this one night
I can see you on the other side
You look sad
Calling me at the end of the night

Can you feel the Night Buzz
I feel it calling to the end of the night
Can you feel the Night Buzz
I feel it calling from the edge of the sky

From the first time when it hits you 
You feel more than you will realize
It can move you, let go down there
Look again before you criticize

I only wanna live this one night
I can see you on the other side
You look sad
Calling me at the end of the night

Can you feel the Night Buzz
I feel it calling to the end of the night
Can you feel the Night Buzz
I feel it calling from the edge of the sky
I feel it, feel it again, yeah

"In Your Eyes"
You always promised me
That you would always be right here
The summer is gone, you see
Here comes the winter, you're not there

I should never let you go
'Cause you're a part of me

In your eyes, no one could ever see
That you're lonely baby, please tell me why
In your eyes, you may pretend you're free
But I know you so well, love will come back
You will see

The things that you've done for me
I just look back but now you're gone
Remember those things we shared
Only your memory lingers on
I don't wanna fall apart
Please come back to me

In your eyes, no one could ever see
That you're lonely baby, please tell me why
In your eyes, you may pretend you're free
But I know you so well, love will come back
You will see

"Opium Trail"
I took a line that leads you to the Opium Trail
Oh, your cries
You feel the rise to seek The trail
On this journey you behold one who travels far
You called him fool, but now you are

The wizard wanders through the world he made from dreams
The splashing whirlpool drowns the frightened screams
Exotic dancers flashing lances, this mysterious space
The fanfare advances, the wall of thoughts may break

It clears your pain, but it's got to cling again, my love
You feel the need, but it lets you bleed
You must be seen, my love
No one to blame, no shame
You crave again and again, my love
No use to plead, from you it feeds
Don't grieve, my love
Oh, it's got you, my love

I took a line that comes from the golden states of sham
The smugglers trail that leads you to the opium den
The Chinese connection binds to heroin
Depart the heart you crave again

It clears your pain, but your soul clings again, my love
You feel the need, but it lets you bleed
You must be seen, my love
No one to blame, no shame
You crave again and again, my love
No use to plead, from you it feeds
Don't grieve, my love
Oh, it's got you, my love

"We Will Be Strong"
You know that we belong
We belong together
Together we'll be strong

Oh, is it true
It's down to me and you

I've been thinking 'bout the days we had
We were younger then
Didn't need nobody else
I've been waiting for this day to come
It was magic then
It could be again

I was looking at the sky
Before I knew your name
I needed something to believe in
Something to ease the pain

When I'm down feeling lost and blue
When I'm down I hear you whisper
When I'm gone, all I wanna do is to talk to you
It's down to me and you

You know that we belong
We belong together
Together we'll be strong

Oh, is it true
It's down to me and you

I've been thinking 'bout the choice we made
Without a word we went separate ways
Now here we stand after all this time
It's plain to see
It was meant to be

When I'm down feeling lost and blue
When I'm down I hear you whisper
When I'm gone, all I wanna do is to talk to you
It's down to me and you

You know that we belong
We belong together
Together we'll be strong

Oh, is it true
It's down to me and you

"Good Man Shining"
Seems like mother Mary answered my prayer
I'm back in circulation
A bad reputation has colored my skin
Your black finger tips are the blessing you bring

Gotta change my direction
People are paying my bail
All out of luck, what am I gonna do
I guess I'll never learn

Good man shining
All over you
Good man shining
Is coming through

Well, my point of view is sex appeal
I'm burning out like a spinning wheel
Sweet little angel, my heart you can squeeze, baby
Doctor, doctor please

When I'm tired and lonely
And my heart is out on the fence
The last thing I look for is your kind of love
I guess I'll never learn

Good man shining
All over you
Good man shining
Is coming through

I gotta change my direction
People are paying my bail
I'm all out of luck, what am I gonna do
I guess I'll never learn

Good man shining
All over you
Good man shining
Is coming through

"Time Will Find the Answer"
Into the shadows of the night
They fought the war that would never die
Now the sun never shines
Can't find the key that's lost in time

And the wind calls your name for you only
But she would never return
And I long to hear your voice
As I watch the endless fire burn

Now the kings and queens of long ago
Could never have foreseen
Will they rise and fall
Only time will tell
Twisted on battleground so green

Time will find the answer
Time will find
You walking through the fields

Into the storm where the soldiers lie
Black skies are gathering around
Where men fought and lost
As they fall silent to the ground

Only time it will heal
Stop your crying
I'll soon be on my way
And I can hear your voice
Through the trees in the morning light

Now the autumn leaves are falling
As the winter closes in
Through the morning mist
Only walk the brave
They only fight to win

Time will find the answer
Time will find
You walking through the fields

"Counting on Your Love"
Sitting in your waiting room
As a patient to your heart
Hung up by some circumstances
Setting us apart

You've got the moves to remember
You opened up my mind
Make me believe it
One more day
Come on and touch my life

Let me be your private toy
Let me be your lover boy
Play me with your surgeon hands
Manipulate, incinerate

You've got the moves to remember
You opened up my mind
Make me believe it
One more day
Come on and touch my life

I've been counting
I've been counting on your love
I've been counting
I've been counting on your love

Sitting in your waiting room
As a patient to your heart
Hung up by some circumstances
Setting us apart

You've got me wrapped around your finger
You've opened up my mind
But don't close the door
I know what you need
Oh, how I need that cure

I've been counting
I've been counting on your love
I've been counting
I've been counting on your love

Instrumental

"Still the Night"
Still the night

You didn't have to run from me
Because I am the one
You know it
You should have took the time to see
You know I am the one
Don't blow it

You know you've got the combination
You've got the moves that could change the nation
All you need is some understanding
You know it's right

Don't you know
It's still the night
What are you running for
Still the night
All the love I have shown you
Still the night
What are you running for
Still the night

I said I'd give it all to you
But you gave a look right through me
I've never told you what to do
I trust in your love, can't you see

You know you've got the combination
You've got the moves that could change the nation
All you need is some understanding
You know it's right

Don't you know
It's still the night
What are you running for
Still the night
All the love I have shown you
Still the night
What are you running for
Still the night
All the love I have shown you

All alone in your city
In this world without pity

Don't you know it's
Still the night

"Distant Voices"
I have seen you before, you're a master of disguise
It must be you, I can tell by the look in your eyes
You should listen to me before you walk out that door
I won't surrender, I don't wanna see you no more

Tell me I'm wrong
You're in my heart just the same
Where have you gone
Will I remember your name

Distant voices
Unspoken words in my head
You have no choices
Those things that you've done and you've said
Tonight I will fight to make everything right
No one will stand in my way
Distant voices
Calling your name 
Over and over again

Take my advice and go back to where you came
'Cause I've had enough of the tears and my hard pain, pain
I have told you before, now I know that you misunderstood
But you don't remember
And now that you're going away for good

I can't go on
Tell me that I'm only dreaming
Since you've been gone
Will I remember your name

Distant voices
Unspoken words in my head
You have no choices
All the things that you've done and you've said
Maybe someday I will see you again
Somewhere someplace in time
Distant voices
Calling your name
Over and over again

"Don't Believe a Word" (live)
Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you
That I'm in love with you

Don't believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
That made just for some other silly pretty girl
I'm singing it to

Don't believe a word
''Cause words are so easily spoken
And your heart is just like that promise
That was made to be broken

Don't believe a word
'Cause words can tell a lie
And your lies are no comfort
When there's tears in your eyes

Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you
That I'm in love with you

Don't believe a word
Oh, please don't believe a word
Oh, don't believe that
Oh, not a single word

"Free Birds in Flight"
Instrumental
