Chasing Clouds

I may be strong enough to hold you 
When all you want to do is fight 
All the things I never [should have] told you
Shape the atmoshpere tonight 

Come on take my hand 
I will let you in 
A  window to my heart  

Feeling vulnerable and cold now
The hurt is written on your face
Sometimes you need someone to hold you 
To keep you warm to keep you safe 

Come on take my hand 
I will let you in 
The window to my heart 

The words you/we say…. can’t  betray
That smile we fake …is about to break 
It takes all of our strength …to keep holding on 
Keep holding on 

Come on take my hand 
I will let you in 
The window to my heart

Window to my heart

Merry Christmas.

It's Christmas

When the sun goes down

Another time, another place
Another sign, another face
We are all passengers in time 
The endless journey our design 
Fragile silloutettes, hanging by a thread
Idle talk …and  idle threats…are in your head 
When love is on the line.

Another day another fight 
Another endless, sleepless night
We turn away from love’s embrace
The bitter aftertaste of emptiness and jealousy
In our darkest hour of need 
The moonlit tide Is in your eyes, beckoning 
When love is on the line 

We travelled far …we travelled wide
There’s noone else here can decide
Who is right and who is wrong 
When life is good and love is/ so strong 

Together we are strong, 
Together we are one 
Sharing our experience 
all we’ve seen and done 

From paradise to sacrifce, 
Together and apart 
The passion and the compromise.... 
Is in our hearts 
When love is on the line.

Love Is On The Line

Lost our compass lost our way 
Lost for things to do or say  
Searching for comfort in our hearts

Times of trouble…times of pain 
Pressure points along this chain
It’s hard to compromise 
We are poles apart 

So many precious hours
Defending that ridge 
Building castles and towers
Instead of a bridge 

	Time is on everyone’s side
	’til darkness decends
	The Gods and the Angels decide
	Our time has to end 

	I would search everywhere 
	For the faith to believe
	Breathing in rarified air  
	Give and receive…. our love 

Lead me through an open door
Sunlight on the forrest floor 
A gentle warmth fills my heart 

All creatures great and small 
Cast to the wind…(our) backs to the wall 
It’s hard to reconcile 
We are poles apart 

Caught in the crossfire 
Of convication and truth
It’’s hard to discard our beliefs
Even when there’s no proof

Poles Apart

Composed by Alan Whittaker & Mark Schlotel
Sermon extract from T.D. Jakes

The Strength
(Lyrics by Mark Schlotel)

I believe the moon 
I believe the sun 
I believe a special light 
Shines on everyone 

Women are from from venus
Men are made on mars
You and I can live together 
Underneath the stars

Hold on ...Be strong 
Hold on ...We got the strength to carry on 

I believe in hope 
I believe in love 
I believe our spirit lies 
In the stars above 
  
Hold on ...Be strong 
Hold on ...We got the strength to carry on 

We got the hope 
We got the love
We got the strentgh 
To carry on

The strength

Free as a silver bird 
Flying in the sky 
Cutting through the cloud
Fly high to a silent space
Between Us 

Sail on to the seven seas
Free my heart 
Touch my soul 
(and) Dive down  to clear blue water    
Between us 

Forget all your secrets 
Tell me no lies 
I can see it in your pale blue eyes 

Tall shadow in the fading sky 
Sunset melts into darkness 
Wine flows and the walls come down 
Between us 

Cool breeze blowing through my hair 
Paper boats in the harbour 
Starlight in the midnight air
Between Us

No rhyme or reason 
where your stories start or end 
A moments pleasure 
Crime of passion can’t pretend

Lyrics :-

She plays a Candy Strat
Drives a cadillac
Prowling the stage like a leopard skin jungle cat
Some kind of voodoo,
All the young boys
Twist and grind (and) make some noise
She’s Alright
The Lady just loves to rock n roll
She’s Alright
Drink all day and dance all night
You got …(you) got what I want
All that I need …and baby I love you
Hey dude … you know what I mean
All that I need Tonight
Hot tempered…A volcano
Blow your mind..She’s a real Tornado
You better run boy…fast as you can
Don’t look twice
…she’s a woman ..she’s a man
She’s Alright
The Lady just loves to rock n roll
She’s Alright
Drink all day and dance all night
You got …you got what I want
All that I need …and baby I love you
Hey dude … you know what I mean
All that I need Tonight

All that I need

If the world is your gateway
To a colourful new life 
Tomorrow a blank page 
What would you choose to write
Endless possibility 
Paving your own way 
A brilliant new adventure  
Awaits you every day

And when you say 
You always say you’re just an ordinary girl
Finding your way in this extraordinary world 
Everything we need, standing in between
Heaven and earth, chapter and verse
In the book of love

We search for a soul mate
and hope by chance to meet 
That one authentic lover
who makes our life complete 
The one who holds the answers
to the questions in your heart
Sharing a lifetime…together and apart

And if we fall I’ll try to do the best I can 
After all I’m just an ordinary man
Stranded in between ….
The devil and the deep blue sea 
Heavens above
The book of love

Timeless /Distant constellations 
Time we take for granted 
The ones we love the most 
When the spirit leaves the host 
Beyond that pale horizon
Open your mind and then 
open your heart to a brave new star

We stand surrounded by extraordinary people
The gift of love in this extraordinary world 
Everything we need, standing in between
Heaven and earth, chapter and verse 
The book of love

Book of Love

Carry the burden of a thousand men 
The weight of the world on your shoulders
We pick up the pieces time and again 
The lines on your face growing older 

Drowning in anger, living in fear 
Faces like thunder 
Swallow your pride, there’s nowhere to hide 
This shit’s gonna drag you under

Woah….deep water…drowning in Deep Water

Conspiracies, secrets and heresy
Your finding it It hard resist them 
Daytime TV is our therapy  
Short, sharp shocks to the system 

A needle of truth in the haystack 
Sometimes I wonder 
Living a lie….counting out time …
This shit’s gonna drag you under.

Woah….deep water…drowning in Deep Water

Life ain’t so easy ….Time is a healer
The odds are against you  
When fate is the dealer 

Climbing the walls…the fear and doubt
and nobody cares  …no easy way out 
These sanitised halls…you scream and shout 
As panic / madness engulfs you 

Is this how it feels when you’re drowning  
Nothing is real… you’re surrounded 
Is this how it feels 

So long …the asylum is of our own making 
So long….who put the lunatics in charge 

Woah….deep water…drowning in Deep Water

Deep Water

You showed me the front door 
That day when we parted 
Seventeen years ..down  this rocky old road 
We’re right back where we started 

I know it’s a long way home 
One day we may find
The saints and the sinners 
The losers and winners 
Leave all our troubles behind
C’est La Vie…

There times when you drive me crazy 
You know that I love you 
You showed me the way
i’m not sure if you’ll stay
But I can’t live without you 

I know it’s a long way home 
One day we will see 
The saints and the sinners 
are only beginners 
Who haven’t yet earned their degree
C’est La vie

Whatever comes our way in life 
We always gonna stand our ground
Whatever the weather 
We’re stronger together
and I’m never gonna let you down 

C’est la vie …C’est la vie
It’s the only way for you and me

C'est la vie

A lovers quarrel ends in tears 
Pregnant pauses, atmospheres 
Fraying tempers hit the ceiling 
A thousand daily routine things
Idle gossip, rumours sting 
A chance remark that sparks this feeling

Don’t hang up … Don’t say goodbye……
 
Your words still fizzing in my head
I take back everything I said 
The situation’s out of hand 

Don’t hang up …Don’t say good bye…
Hangin’ on the phone 
Hopeless and alone ….
It’s not by choice …
I need to hear your voice 

It’s funny how the fight begins 
No one folds …. no one wins 
A deeper wound is now revealed  
Barbs of steel, a velvet glove
The fragile cut and thrust of love 
I pray it’s not too late to heal 

I know I have to make this call 
Though it makes no bones at all 
Emotion working overtime...my hand is shaking

Don’t hang up....Don’t say good bye…
Together or alone 
We’re only flesh and bone
It’s our choice ... I need to hear your voice
Our only choice

Don't hang up
