I feel left over
Left over from yesterday
A ghostly relic
All those things I wanted to say
But now she's gone away
I don't know how to cope
Any more
I really only think about the things
We said yesterday.

I feel left over
Drying out, in a terrible state
The morning after
Already gone, no she couldn't wait
And now she's decided my fate
I don't know how to cope any more.

I live without you
Nothing to do but recover my sense
No use pretending
Loosen up, I'm feeling so tense
Look ahead, get over this fence
Gotta learn how to cope by myself
I really cannot think about the things
We said yesterday.

I feel left over
On my own, the future to face
Look for a meaning
Find the strength, get back in the race
A new start, keep up with the pace
Gotta learn how to cope by myself.

Leftover From Yesterday

In the first twenty years
The prime of your life    
Your senses were so sharp
Like the blade of a knife

Your eyes were wide open
From the day of your birth
Your ears were alive
To the sound of the earth

Where did you go
When you started to think about it
Why did you end up praying?

What did you feel
That was missing from all of it
How did you end up straying?

In the next twenty years
The wind in your sails
It’s you against the world
And the world it prevailed

The stakes seemed so high
With so much to gain
The good times were good
The bad times a pain

Where did you go
When you started to think about it
Why did you end up praying?

What did you feel
That was missing from all of it
How did you end up straying?

I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t easy
I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t cool
I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t easy
Just thinking of you
Life can be so cruel

In the next twenty years 
You’re in the middle of the game
You’ve got a steady job
Every day it seems the same



It’s quiet around the house again
The kids have moved away
There’s not so much to do at night
You’re living for the day

Where did you go
When you started to think about it
Why did you end up praying?

What did you feel
That was missing from all of it
How did you end up straying?

I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t easy
I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t cool
I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t easy
Just thinking of you
Life can be so cruel

In the next twenty years
Your time’s running out
There’s nowhere to hide
There isn’t any doubt

But it’s never too late
You’ll discover the truth
That you haven’t lost a thing
All those years since your youth

Where did you go
When you started to think about it
Why did you end up praying?

What did you feel
That was missing from all of it
How did you end up straying?

I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t easy
I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t cool
I’m thinking of you
And that isn’t easy
Just thinking of you
Life can be so cruel

Twenty Years

I could have loved you
And wasted all my time
No use pretending
That it’s been so divine

Why don’t you stay, stay, stay with me
And in the morning, we’ll still be free

The birds are singing
The sounds of life abound
But I’m so lonesome
Alone here on the ground

Why don’t you stay, stay, stay with me
And in the morning, we’ll still be free    

And in the evening
Home alone after work
No one to talk to
Driving myself bezerk

Why don’t you stay, stay, stay with me
And in the morning, we’ll still be free

Why Don't You Stay With Me?

I am not these thoughts and feelings
I am not these desires and fears
I am not this mind, I’m not this body
Here on earth for about 80 years

I am not this bundle of memories
Not bound by anything I’ve done
I am not this world that I've created
I’m in a race that has already been run 

I am not what I used to believe in 
I am not my hopes for tomorrow
I am not my birth and happiness
I am not my death and sorrow
 
I am not what I appear to be
I am not beholden to fate
I am not that state of ecstasy
When my pupils start to dilate

What I Am Not

They’re gone but not forgotten
Ships passing in the night 
Wild memories that never left me
They’re drifting out of sight

Whatever happened to you
The ones I held so dear
Would it really matter to me 
If they’re no longer here

Now we’re all in it together
In the hands of happy fate
Let’s stand up and go for it
Before it’s all too late

What does it mean to me  
If I don’t see you again
And what does it mean to you
This is now and that was then

I’m depending on you
We’re all in it together
Depending on you
Right now and forever
I’m depending on you
We’re all in it together
Depending on you
And we will can this through

If I could live my life again
I wouldn't have a plan
No more disappointment 
I’d just do the best I can

And when my time is over
In the last few fading breaths
Then there’s only gratitude
For whatever happens next

I’m depending on you
We’re all in it together
Depending on you
Right now and forever
Depending on you
We’re all in it together
Depending on you
And we can see this through
(REPEAT)

Depending On You

How can I love you?
When I've got nothing else to show
How can I love you?
When I've got nowhere else to go

I wake up to the day
See the sun up in the sky
Climb out of bed
And just fly away

There's nothing more to do
Than just wait around for you
Someday my fantasy
Will be blown away

How can I love you?
When I've got nothing else to show
How can I love you?
When I've got nowhere else to go

I’ve been listening to what you said
Working out what’s in my head
The memories are getting
In the way

In a confused state of mind
I can seek but only find
The same answers that seem moulded
Into clay

How can I love you?
When I've got nothing else to show
How can I love you?
When I've got nowhere else to go

How Can I Love You

Living with you
Is more than I can stand
Loving with you
This is not what I had planned

The fun has gone       
I think we can agree
The life we had             
It was never meant to be

It started all right
Getting better by the day
But as the years went by 
There was no room left to play

The fun has gone       
I think we can agree
The life we had
It was never meant to be

And now we are sitting here
On a dull grey afternoon
In the hands of nature
Playing a timeless happy tune

The fun has gone       
I think we can agree
The life we had
It was never meant to be
	
Well, it started all right
Getting better by the day
But as the years went by 
There was no room left to play

What can we do
To turn this around
To how it used to be
Is it down to you
To work it out it
Or is it down to me?

The fun has gone       
I think we can agree
The life we had
It was never meant to be

The Fun Has Gone

The lights have all gone out 
And I can see there's no one about 

I  feel the mud; it's on my hands and on my feet 
And like a pack of cards, you've fallen down on the street

Wandering for hours out in the cold
And the night, its about to take hold
 
The wind is blowing hard through my hair
And the incessant rain; its more than I can bear

So please tell me …

Where can we go now
When the wind keeps coming at us?
Where can we go now
When we’re fighting 'gainst the tide?

Where can we go now
Has the sun now gone for ever?
Where can we go now
I really need you by my side

Just when I thought we'd never come home              
That we were doomed forever to roam           

You gave me back my will to survive         
And now it's you, who can get us out of here alive

So please tell me …

Where can we go now
When the wind keeps coming at us?
Where can we go now
When we’re fighting 'gainst the tide?

Where can we go now
Has the sun now gone for ever?
Where can we go now
I really need you by my side?

Where can we go now (We’re looking out for each other)
Has the sun now gone for ever?
Where can we go now (We’re standing side by side)
I really need you by my side?
 
Where can we go now (We’re looking out for each other)
Has the sun now gone for ever?
Where can we go now (We’re standing side by side)
I really need you by my side?

Where Can We Go Now?

We are on our way
To Punta Arenas
Eating nuts and drinking beer
In the back of the plane  

And oh, it’s going to be cold there
And oh, we’ll have the time of our lives

Yes, we’re on our way
To Punta Arenas
It was warm in Santiago 
And now that’s far behind   

And oh, it’s going to be cold there
And oh, we’ll have the time of our lives
 
We’re on our way
To Punta Arenas
With the Andes on the left
And the coastline below
   
And oh, it’s going to be cold there
And oh, we’ll have the time of our lives

We’re flying down from Santiago to Punta Arenas
Flying down from Santiago to Punta Arenas
We’re flying down from Santiago to Punta Arenas
Flying down from Santiago to Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas

I'm living in the past 
I just don't know what to do 
It's never been the same 
Since the day that I left you 

What will it take to find you?
What lies in store
Along the way? 
I don't know how it happened 
Or is this all there is to say? 

Oh why was I so foolish 
To believe so much of what they say? 
How can I regain my trust in you? 
To live together in peace one day?

I have often wondered 
What it's like to live alone 
And now my days are numbered
When will it be over and I'll be coming home
Yes, I have often wondered 
What it's like to live alone 
And now my days are numbered
When will it be over and I'll be coming home
It’s not a lie
Coming home
And just in time

Yes, I have often wondered 
What it's like to live alone 
And now my days are numbered
When will it be over and I'll be coming home
