(MacMichael/Eede)

I dream, dream of a lonely girl
Who sleeps, lost in her lonely world
Any sunset I'd give to you
Any colour that you like, all for you

She wakes wrapped in her naked room
The air filled with a sweet perfume
Any rainbow I'll save for you
Any colour that you like, all for you

I've waited, I've waited so long for you
To show my true colours come shining through

I dream, dream of a distant girl
Who sleeps, lost in a lonely world
In a diamond, I'll shine for you
Any colour that you like, all for you

Oooh, Oo Oooh, Cha

Catch my breath, close my eyes
Don't believe a word.
Things she said, overheard
Something wrong inside
Hits you in a minute, Ooo
Then you know you're in it, aah.

I've been in love before
I've been in love before
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before
I've been in love before

Just one touch, just one look
A dangerous dance
One small word can make me feel
Like running away
You can't say you're in it, no, until you reach the limit

I've been in love before
I've been in love before
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before
I've been in love before

I've been in love before
I've been in love before
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before
I've been in love before

I've been in love
The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love
I've been in love before

(Nick Van Eede)

I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way
To get out of this

Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed
The cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought
That a boy like me could come to this

[CHORUS]
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause
For feeling like this
On the surface
I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet
But then blow it again

I've lost and found
It's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy
No give and all take
Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy
One too many times

[repeat CHORUS]

It was a long hot night
She made it easy
She made it feel right
But now it's over
The moment is gone
I followed my hands
Not my head
I know I was wrong

[repeat CHORUS]

Eede/Boorer

Don't let love let you down
It's been fine up to now
Sahara, I just walked into your world
Sahara, don't walk out on me now

Don't let time tie you down
It's been fine up to now
Sahara, there is life in the desert
Sahara, let the sands run away

But in my heart and in my head
I know that she'll wait for me
Sahara brings me down
She will take up all your time
Then she'll laugh and cut you down
Do you still hold a light for ... for me?

Don't let fires burn too low
Wild-eyed winds they still blow
Sahara, I just walked into your world
Sahara, don't walk out on me now

But in my heart...

Too many times have I told you, feel your way
If it's question of answers, then have your say
Don't go giving me reasons, we all have a price
And in that moment of indecision, you'll never understand why

It shouldn't take too long, to set the thing moving
It shouldn't take too long, so long as you believe it
It shouldn't take too long, (to get what you want)

Forget the popular notion, lead the way
You've never known what you wanted until today
Through fire and water, you, you can survive
To make the best of the situation, you have to understand why

It shouldn't take too long...

When I was a boy in the summer rain
Every hour seemed days to me

It shouldn't take too long...

Eede/Townsend

Believe me when I say to you
That every word is true
That a change is going to come
You can hear it in the broadcast on your radio

Why are you running, was it something that somebody said?
What are you hiding from, are the voices alone in your head?
I can make it look natural 'cos the more that you see
It's the less that you know, it's the more that you give

Believe me when they call for you
As you cry out in the night
These four suspicious riders have been circling the borders
of your bungalow
But how they ever got to you
I swear I'll never know
Was it just the laws of nature that's been causing all the
voices on your telephone?

Why are you running...

Believe me and I'll pray for you (we'll give you what you wanted)
With all my fickle heart
I could sell you hallelujahs recorded on a chrome cassette in stereo
So come and make your home with me
It really isn't far
Fly down to California and become a Christian soldier on
My late, late show

Why are you running...
