01  Bella Donna You can ride high atop your pony I know you won't fall... 'Cause the whole thing's phoney. You can fly swinging from your trapeze Scaring all the people But you'll never scare me Bella donna... And we fight... for the northern star No speed limit... this is the fast lane It's just the way that it is here And you say... I never thought it could Bella donna... we fight... For the northern star And the lady's feeling Like the moon that she loved Don't you know that the stars are A part of us And the lady's feeling Just like the moon that she loved And you say... I never thought it could Bella donna... Come in out of the darkness... You are in love with... And I'm ready to sail... It's just a feeling... Sort of captures your soul Bella donna... And the woman may be awestruck And the woman may truly care But the woman is so tired... So the woman dissappears... Come in out of the darkness... Bella donna... my soul... Don't change... baby please don't change And you say... And your face becomes thin You never thought it could Come in out of the darkness Bella donna... You are in love with And I'm ready to sail It's just a feeling... 05:21

04  Think About It Step into the velvet of the morning Let yourself lay back within your dreams Take on the situation but not the torment Now you know its not as bad as it seems Well I know you'd like to come away But baby you can't come Your fortune is your life's love Oh and anytime you think about leaving Think about what you know Well think about it... Think about it before you go Even when you feel like your life is fading I know that you'll go on forever You're that good Heartbreak of the moment is not endless Now your fortune is your life's love Well honey... I know you'd like to come away But baby you can't come Your fortune is your life's love Wo and... anytime you think about leaving Think about what you know Well think about it... Think about it before you go And the heart says danger And the heart says whatever It is... that you want from me I am just one... small... part... Of forever... Falling... star... star... Catcher Even when you feel like your life is fading I know that you'll go on forever You're that good Heartbreak of the moment is not endless Your fortune is your life's love Well honey... I know you'd like to come away But baby you can't come Your fortune is your life's love Anytime you think about leaving Think about what you know Well think about it... Think about it before you go... Well think about it Think about it before you go... And the heart says danger The heart says whatever Think about it... Think about it before you go 03:35
05  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 03:31
06  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 colours... 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 05:28

08  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 03:44
09  Outside The Rain Outside the rain And the heart skips a beat So you're lonely Creature of the night It's been almost a week Can you love me only Look at me, for a very long time Long enough to know Love is a word - I've been trying to find Words don't matter They don't matter at all Maybe it's only a dream I don't want to feel that Well it's one more link - in the chain I don't believe that So you're still lonely You say that it's been forever Maybe you never knew me - Maybe you thought that I'd never change - but You know I'm changing - You're wrong - And it's been like dying - No love's that hard to find - And I'm tired of - I'm tired of trying Outside the rain And the heart skips a beat So you're lonely Look in my eyes Touch my face Baby, there's no one That can take my place Look in my eyes, touch my face Baby there's no one that Can ever replace that - heartache Take away that heartache Love is a word that some entertain If you find it You have won the game Somebody said "Outside the rain..." 04:18
10  The Highwayman Alas he was the highwayman The one that comes and goes And only the highway-woman Keeps up with the likes of those And she in all her magic With hands as quick as light Took him to be a challenge And went into the night And he in all his glory Was far ahead of her But she was never sorry For wishes that would burn Enter competition She chases beneath the moon Her horse is like a dragonfly She is just a fool And she wonders is this real Or does she just want to be Queen And he fights the way he feels Is this the end of the dream And then he sees her coming Heartbeats on the wind Considers slowing down But then... he could never win And she... out in the distance Sees him against the sky A pale and violent rider A dream begun in wine And she wonders is this real Or does she just want to be Queen And he fights the way he feels Is this the end of the dream A dream as the thunder wakes her And her highwayman disappears On a life already lived before In eyes welled with tears Today and still today they ride Will they ever win He the glory... She the love... Still they try again He the glory... She the love... Still they try again He the glory... She the love... And still they... try... again 04:48
