So Far Away – Dire Straits **
Here I am again in this mean old town
And you’re so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
You’re so far away from me
So far away from me
So far I just can’t see
So far away from me
You’re so far away from me
I’m tired of being in love and being all alone
When you’re so far away from me
I’m tired of making out on the telephone
And you’re so far away from me
So far away from me
So far I just can’t see
So far away from me
You’re so far away from me
I get so tired when I have to explain
When you’re so far away from me
See you been in the sun and I’ve been in the rain
And you’re so far away from me
So far away from me
So far I just can’t see
So far away from me
You’re so far away from me

Old And Wise – Alan Parsons Project **
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You’ve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh….
when I’m old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the midst of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I’d smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh… when I’m old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You’ve always shared my darkest hours
I’ll miss you when I go
And oh,….
when I’m old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the midst of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh.. when I’m old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
The Way – Fastball
The Way – Fastball **
They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to .. eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down, they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it’s always summer, they’ll never get cold
They’ll never get hungry,
They’ll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won’t make it home but they really don’t care
They wanted the highway, they’re happy there today,
today …
The children woke up
And they couldn’t find ’em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind ’em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
*Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it’s always summer, they’ll never get cold
They’ll never get hungry,
They’ll never get old and gray
&
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won’t make it home but they really don’t care
They wanted the highway, they’re happy there today,
today …

White Flag – Dido
White Flag – Dido *
I know you think that I shouldn’t still love you or tell you that.
But if I didn’t say it, well I’d still have felt it ..
where’s the sense in that?
I promise I’m not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were
But I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up .. and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and alway…s will be
I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble.. I under..stand if you can’t talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of “it’s over” then I’m sure that makes sense
And I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up.. and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love.. and alway..s will be
And when we meet
Which I’m sure we will
All that was there..
Will be there still
I’ll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I’ve moved on….
I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love, and alway..s will be
And I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and alway..s will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and alway..s will be
The Reason – Hoobastank
The Reason – Hoobastank **
I’m not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I’m sorry that I hurt you
It’s something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
and the reason is You
and the reason is You
and the reason is You
……..
I’m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
