After The Glitter Fades Well I never thought I'd make it Here in Hollywood I never thought I'd ever Want to stay What I seem to touch these days Has turned to gold What I seem to want Well you know I'll find a way For me it's the only life That I've ever known And love is only one Fine star away Even though the living Is sometimes laced with lies It's alright The feeling remains Even after the glitter fades The loneliness of a one night stand Is hard to take We all chase something And maybe this is a dream The timeless face of a rock and roll Woman... while her heart breaks Oh you know... the dream keeps coming Even when you forget to feel For me it's the only life That I've ever known And love is only one fine star away Even though the living Is sometimes laced with lies It's alright The feeling remains Even after the glitter fades For me it's the only life That I've ever known And love is only one fine star away Even though the living Is sometimes laced with lies It's alright The feeling remains Even after the glitter fades Oh you know the feeling remains Even after the glitter fades Oh the feeling remains Even after the glitter fades |

Edge Of Seventeen Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Whoo whoo whoo. Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo And the days go by Like a strand in the wind In the web that is my own I begin again Said to my friend, baby Nothin' else mattered He was no more. than a baby then Well he seemed broken hearted Something within him But the moment that I first laid Eyes on him all alone On the edge of seventeen Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing ooo baby ooo said ooo Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo I went today maybe I will go again Tomorrow And the music there it was hauntingly Familiar And I see you doing What I try to do for me With the words from a poet And the voice from a choir And a melody nothing else mattered Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing ooo baby ooo said ooo Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo The clouds never expect it When it rains But the sea changes colors But the sea Does not change And so with the slow graceful flow Of age I went forth with an age old Desire to please On the edge of seventeen Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo Well then suddenly There was no one left standing In the hall yeah yeah In a flood of tears That no one really ever heard fall at all Oh I went searchin' for an answer Up the stairs and down the hall Not to find an answer Just to hear the call Of a nightbird singing Come away come away Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo Well I hear you in the morning And I hear you At nightfall Sometime to be near you Is to be unable to hear you My love I'm a few years older than you Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooo baby ooo said ooo |

If Anyone Falls I hear a voice in the room next to mine Feels good sounds good Closes the door from behind And another voice comes thru the door I am dealing with a man When away from me stays deep inside my heart And he says if anyone falls in love It will be one of us If anyone falls in love Somewhere in the twilight dreamtime Somewhere in the back of your mind If anyone falls And I heard someone say As my eyes turned away He said I have loved many women I have many times run away Ooh I have never known the words Well I have tried to be true Well I have never known what to say How to say seen anything today Never seen anything like you If anyone falls in love Somewhere in the twilight dreamtime Somewhere in the back of your mind If anyone falls So I'm never gonna see you Never gonna see you deep inside my heart Oh I see your shadow against Shadow against shadow against the wall Baby I see your shadow against the wall |

Leather And Lace Is love so fragile And the heart so hollow Shatter with words Impossible to follow You're saying I'm fragile I try not to be I search only for something I can't see I have my own life and I am stronger Than you know But I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Still I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Lovers forever face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me my lace You in the moonlight With your sleepy eyes Could you ever love a man like me And you were right When I walked into your house I knew I'd never want to leave Sometimes I'm a strong man Sometimes cold and scared And sometimes I cry But that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I'd get by First time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I would get by Lovers forever face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me my lace Lovers forever face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you to stay Give to me your leather Take from me my lace Take from me my lace Take from me my lace |

Rooms On Fire Somewhere out in the back of your mind Comes your real life and the life that you know It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light She had trusted many But been unfamiliar with Almost everyone but you Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire Everytime that you walk in the room Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself I have known this much longer than I've known you She had trusted many And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence That she could sense for miles She dreamed of her wanton luxury And she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him And he hated to be separated From that picture No Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire Everytime that you walk in the room Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself Well I have known this much longer than I've known you Long nets of white cloud my memory Long nets of white cloud my memory Ooh there is magic all around you Everytime you walk in the room Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire Everytime that you walk in the room Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself Well I have known this much longer than I've known you |

Sometimes It's A Bitch Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy And I've cried a river of tears from the pain I try to dance with what life has to hand me My partner's been pleasure, my partner's been pain There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle and dark, desperate hours that nobody sees My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain My head in my hands, down on my knees Chorus: Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees Sometimes it's roses, but sometimes it's weeds Sometimes it's a bitch but sometimes it's a breeze I've reached in darkness and come out with treasures I've laid down with love and I've woke up with lies What's it all worth? - Only the heart can measure It's not what's in the mirror, but what's left inside you've gotta take it as it comes Sometimes it don't come easy Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy I've cried a river of tears from the pain I've tried to dance with what life had to hand me And if I could, I'd do it all over again Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems you get what you want but it's not what you need Sometimes it's a bitch and sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes it's a breeze |

Stand Back No one looked as I walked by Just an invitation would have been just fine Said no to him again and again First he took my heart then he ran No one knows how I feel What I say unless you read between my lines One man walked away from me First he took my hand take me home Stand back stand back In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright it's alright To be standing in a line Standing in a line I would cry Do not turn away my friend Like a willow I can bend No man calls my name No man came So I walked on down away from you Maybe your attention was more Than you could do One man did not call He asked me for my love And that was all Stand back stand back In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright it's alright To be standing in a line Standing in a line Standing in a line So I walked on down the line Away from you Maybe your attention was more Than I could do One man did not call Well he asked me for my love That was all |

Talk To Me I can see we're thinkin' bout the same things And I can see your expression when the phone rings We both know there's something happening here Well, there's no sense in dancing round the subject A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect Don't turn around there's nothing here to fear You can talk to me Talk to me You can talk to me You can set your secrets free, baby Dusty words lying under carpets Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets Locked inside hidden safe from view Well, is it all that hard Is it all that tough Well, I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough You can hide your hurt But, there's something you can do You can talk to me Talk to me talk to me I can set your secrets free, baby La, la, la, la Though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek Our voices stray from the common ground where they could meet The walls run high, to veil a swelling tear Oh, let the walls burn down, set your secrets free You can break their bounds, cause you're safe with me You can lose your doubt, cause you'll find no danger not here You can talk to me Talk to me You can talk to me You can set your secrets free, baby Oh, I can see you running I can see you running I can see you running all the way back home I can see your expression when the phone rings And I can see that you're thinkin' bout the same things Is it all that hard Is it all that tough Well, you've taken all there is now baby Isn't that enough Well, I can see you runnin' I can see you runnin' All the way back |
