When you got nothing
Freewheeling and free falling you go
When you got nothing you've got something to prove
Then you get something
Something that you've always dreamed about
When you got something you've got something to lose
They take everything
They take your spark
They take everything
They break your heart
They'll take everything
Oh 'cause nothing's ever something
Until you lose everything
Before you got everything
You're flying high, you don't wanna come down
But something stirs down in your soul
If everything is nothing
'Til you got someone to share it with
Somebody to have somebody to hold
Give 'em everything
Give 'em light and dark
Give 'em everything
Give 'em all your heart
Give 'em everything
Yeah 'cause nothing's ever something
Until you give everything
'Cause nothing's lost forever
Yeah when some things never change
Oh and anything is better
When you've got love
You've got everything
You've got everything
Oh oh, everything
Oh oh, everything
Oh oh, everything
Yeah, 'cause nothing's ever something
Until you give everything

If You Go
While we're wild and free
We'll skip like were stones on the sea
Sing like the birds in the trees
Like crows outside your window
While we're new and young
We'll shine like a morning sun
No matter the seasons that come and go
Or which way the wind blows
Every time you go I'll see
Just how my world comes crashing round me
And if you want to stay
I don't think I'd for nothing more
But if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go then I'll go
As long as you want me to stay
While our love is green
Forget the troubles we've seen
Forget the people we've been
Before all of the mistakes
And heart breaks and oh my love
While stars they shine
While your heart is mine
Yeah while there's music and wine
Let us dance all the time
Let us pull down the stars
Let us tug on the lines
Let us smile till we laugh
Let us laugh till we cry
Let us fall in a heap
Under diamond skies
Cause every time you go I'll see
Just how my world comes crashing round me
And if you want to stay
I don't think I'd for nothing more
But if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go then I'll go
As long as you want me to stay
And I'll stay
'Till the sun falls out of the sky
I'll stay
I'll stay
'Till all of the rivers run dry
But if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go then I'll go
As long as you want me to stay
Oh I, as long as you want me to stay
Oh I, as long as you want me to stay
Oh I, as long as you want me to stay
Oh I, as long as you want me to stay
We'll skip like were stones on the sea
Sing like the birds in the trees
Like crows outside your window
While we're new and young
We'll shine like a morning sun
No matter the seasons that come and go
Or which way the wind blows
Every time you go I'll see
Just how my world comes crashing round me
And if you want to stay
I don't think I'd for nothing more
But if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go I'll go
Oh if you'll go then I'll go
As long as you want me to stay
While our love is green
Forget the troubles we've seen
Forget the people we've been

And heart breaks and oh my love

I'll stay
'Till all of the rivers run dry

When We Were Young
We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
Look back to the best of days
Collecting all yesterdays
As they built up one by one
Oh how we beg and we borrow
Say we do it tomorrow
But tomorrow never seems to come
We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
And we were boys on the beach
Everything was in reach
I know it's hard to remember
And all had the years they vanish
I always wanted to learn Spanish
And travel round South-America
We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Do you remember when we were young?
We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding yeah
Years leave quicker every time they come
Do you remember when we were young?
Do you remember when we were young?
Do you remember when we were young?
Do you remember when we were young?
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
Look back to the best of days
Collecting all yesterdays

Anywhere
If you get out on the ocean
If you sail out on the sea
If you get up in the mountains
If you go climbing on trees
Or through every emotion
When you know that they don't care
Darling, that's when I'm with you
Oh, I'll go with you anywhere
If you get up in a jet plane
Or down in a submarine
If you get onto the next train
To somewhere you never been
If you wanna ride in a fast car
And feel the wind in your hair
Darling just look beside you
Oh, I'll go with you anywhere
Oh, and I will be with you
When the darkest winter comes
Oh, and I will be with you
To feel the California sun
Oh, and I will be with you
In the night sounds and it's true
Oh, I'll go anywhere with you
If you get up in the hillside
If you ride out on the planes
If you go digging up dirt
If you go out dancing in the rain
If you go chasing in rainbows
Just to find the gold end there
Darling just look behind you
Oh, I'll go with you anywhere
Oh, and I will be with you
When the darkest winter comes
Oh, and I will be with you
To feel the California sun
Oh, and I will be with you

Somebodys Love
Oh when the winds they blow
You're gonna need somebody to know you
You're gonna need somebody's love to fall into
Oh when the leaves they fall
You're gonna need somebody to call you
You're gonna need somebody's arms to crawl into
To crawl into
Go and get yourself lost
Like you always do
Sail into the blue
With nobody next to you
Oh but when you wanna get yourself found
There may be no one around
You sink without a sound
You know it's true
Oh when the winds they blow
You're gonna need somebody to know you
You're gonna need somebody's love to fall into
Oh when the leaves they fall
You're gonna need somebody to call you
You're gonna need somebody's arms to crawl into
What you're saying is true
You ain't no fool you ain't no liar
You're never gonna get yourself burnt
If you don't start no fires
But with no fire there is no light
With no light you'll never see
All the colors in the world
And all the love that's inside me
When the winds they blow
You're gonna need somebody to know you
You're gonna need somebody's love to fall into
Oh when the leaves they fall
You're gonna need somebody to call you
You're gonna need somebody's arms to crawl into
Oh to crawl into
And oh when the winds they blow
You're gonna need somebody to know
You're gonna need somebody's love to fall into
And oh when the leaves they fall
You're gonna need somebody to call
You're gonna need somebody's arms to crawl into
To crawl into
You're gonna need somebody to know you
You're gonna need somebody's love to fall into
Oh when the leaves they fall
You're gonna need somebody to call you
You're gonna need somebody's arms to crawl into
To crawl into
Go and get yourself lost

Sail into the blue

Young As The Morning Old As The Sea
I wanna lay by a lake in Norway, I
I wanna walk through Swedish fields of green
I wanna see the forests of Finland, I
I wanna sail on a boat on the Baltic sea
I wanna feel the Russian winter, I
I wanna go to my Polish grandmother's home
I wanna see Hungarian lanterns, I
I wanna walk on the road that leads to Rome
I wanna be free as the winds that blow past me
Clear as the air that I breath
To be young as the morning
And old as the sea
I wanna lose myself in the Scottish highlands, the
West coast of Ireland, the
Cornish breeze
I wanna rest my bones in the Spanish sunshine, the
Italian coastline is calling me
To be free as the birds that fly past me
Light as the fish in the sea
To be wise as the mountains
And tall as the trees
And I wanna be sunny and bright as a sunrise
Happy and full as the moon
I'm fleeting like fireworks fading too soon
I wanna walk through Swedish fields of green
I wanna see the forests of Finland, I
I wanna sail on a boat on the Baltic sea
I wanna feel the Russian winter, I
I wanna go to my Polish grandmother's home
I wanna see Hungarian lanterns, I
I wanna walk on the road that leads to Rome
I wanna be free as the winds that blow past me
Clear as the air that I breath
To be young as the morning
And old as the sea
I wanna lose myself in the Scottish highlands, the
West coast of Ireland, the
Cornish breeze
I wanna rest my bones in the Spanish sunshine, the
Italian coastline is calling me
To be free as the birds that fly past me
Light as the fish in the sea
To be wise as the mountains
And tall as the trees
And I wanna be sunny and bright as a sunrise
Happy and full as the moon
I'm fleeting like fireworks fading too soon

Beautiful Birds
Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds?
We would light up the sky, when we'd fly
You were orange and red like the sun when it sets
I was green as an apple's eye
You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing
But nothing like you'd ever heard
And I said I loved you with all of my heart
When we were two beautiful birds
Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds?
We would say when the morning would come
You are silver and blue like the moon when it's new
I was gold as the summer sun
But one day you asked for a different song
One that I just couldn't sing
I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong
Those were the last days of spring
To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests
Like a book tearing out every page
We want to know that these feathers would grow
Into a beautiful cage
We would light up the sky, when we'd fly
You were orange and red like the sun when it sets
I was green as an apple's eye
You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing
But nothing like you'd ever heard
And I said I loved you with all of my heart
When we were two beautiful birds
Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds?
We would say when the morning would come
You are silver and blue like the moon when it's new
I was gold as the summer sun
But one day you asked for a different song
One that I just couldn't sing
I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong
Those were the last days of spring
To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests
Like a book tearing out every page
We want to know that these feathers would grow
Into a beautiful cage

The Long Road
We've walked the long road and you've worn it well
You stitched yourself up when you fell
Keep your memories in jars
Carry secrets in scars
Beneath your shell
You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too
You weave through fashion and trend
You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends
You found faith but you, chose to doubt it
You found love but you, left without it
And now you don't want, to talk about it
You travelled down through foreign lands
Touched mountain tops and golden sand
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf
A treasured book of photographs
In every single one you stand alone
You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall
As you watched the decades fall
The letters that you wrote never made it home
Your birthdays flew past like June
With Christmas days in hotel rooms
And new years eve with people you don't know
You built friendships but they, sailed without you
You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you
They don't ever talk about you
You're older than you used to be
The mirror weaves a tapestry
Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand
As if the answer's going to fall out of the sky
But the penny never dropped
And no man has ever stopped time flying by
You stitched yourself up when you fell
Keep your memories in jars
Carry secrets in scars
Beneath your shell
You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too
You weave through fashion and trend
You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends
You found faith but you, chose to doubt it
You found love but you, left without it
And now you don't want, to talk about it
You travelled down through foreign lands
Touched mountain tops and golden sand
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf
A treasured book of photographs
In every single one you stand alone
You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall
As you watched the decades fall
The letters that you wrote never made it home
Your birthdays flew past like June
With Christmas days in hotel rooms
And new years eve with people you don't know
You built friendships but they, sailed without you
You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you
They don't ever talk about you
You're older than you used to be
The mirror weaves a tapestry

Fools Gold
Can't you show me something I've not seen before
Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more
Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine
Can't you give me something I can hold in my hands
Sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years
When we laughed like we did when I was a kid until I burst into tears
And count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
And I'll be richer than any man who lives with fear
Singing aaaaaay
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more
Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine
Can't you give me something I can hold in my hands
Sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
Can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years
When we laughed like we did when I was a kid until I burst into tears
And count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
And I'll be richer than any man who lives with fear
Singing aaaaaay
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

Home
They say home is where the heart is
But my heart is wild and free
So am I homeless
Or just heartless?
Did I start this?
Did it start me?
They say fear is for the brave
For cowards never stare it in the eye
So am I fearless to be fearful
Does it take courage to learn how to cry
So many winding roads
So many miles to go
And oh..
Oh they say love is for the loving
Without love maybe nothing is real
So am I loveless or do I just love less
Oh since love left
I have nothing left to fear
So many winding roads
So many miles to go
When I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall
Who runs down from the hillside to the sea
When I start feeling that it's gone too far
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they're staring back at me
Oh when I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall
Who runs down from the hillside to the sea
When I start feeling that it's gone too far
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they're staring back at me
But my heart is wild and free
So am I homeless
Or just heartless?
Did I start this?
Did it start me?
They say fear is for the brave
For cowards never stare it in the eye
So am I fearless to be fearful
Does it take courage to learn how to cry
So many winding roads
So many miles to go
And oh..
Oh they say love is for the loving
Without love maybe nothing is real
So am I loveless or do I just love less
Oh since love left
I have nothing left to fear
So many winding roads
So many miles to go
When I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall
Who runs down from the hillside to the sea
When I start feeling that it's gone too far
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they're staring back at me
Oh when I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall
Who runs down from the hillside to the sea
When I start feeling that it's gone too far
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they're staring back at me
