Lyrics

1. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

Take the river to the highest mountain
Take the ocean to the farthest sea
I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you
If you'd come back to me

I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters
Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree
I'd take back everything I said to scare you
Away from me

Two hands can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
I was too blind to see fear was inside of me
I'm not afraid anymore

[Chorus]
It's never too late, it's never too late
To forgive and forget
Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over
I'll never hold you again

If a broken wing can still be mended
Then a foolish heart can still be true
Take the river to the highest mountain
That's where I'll wait for you

Two hearts can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
The man that you tried to free
Is still locked inside of me
And your heart must open the door

[Chorus]


2. FAITH

Easy come and easy go
Hard to get a hold on
Searching for what you don't know
Blind to where you belong
Feel the power in your dreams
Vision in your sight
Nothing's dark as it may seem
We can make it right

[Chorus]
I have faith
In your love
I have faith
In your heart
You don't need to hide from what you want
You've just got to give it all you got
The first thing that you need
You got to have faith

Truth hidden between the lies
We both know the chances
Nothing comes from compromise
Only strength advances
I will be here at your side
For everything you do
When the world tears at your pride
I'll be there for you

[Chorus]

When the world's coming at you like a hungry alligator
You got to have faith
When you've got to pay them now or they'll take it from you later
You got to have faith
When you feel like the future's hiding on a distant cloud
You got to have faith
And you feel like shouting at the good Lord out loud
You got to have faith

[Chorus]

When you know that you're ready but the time is not right
You got to have faith
And you lie awake staring at the ceiling all night
You got to have faith


3. KISS ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Kiss me like you mean it
Hold me like you never have before
If you show a little feeliing
I'll know that you can give a little more

How can I take your love
If you don't believe it
Reach and and count those stars
One by one

[Chorus]
Ooh, kiss me like you mean it
Ooh, Kiss me like you mean it

Now is the time when words have no answer
And silence is not what it seems
We can fall from the sky in the presence of angels
Do you dream the same dream?

Always the sounds of love
And a heart never ending
For the colors that bleed and run...one by one

[Chorus]

Where the water is deep the reflection is wide
We stand on the bridge looking down
But you can't decide
True love will never begin to see
So hold out your hand to me

[Chorus]


4. EVIDENCE OF LOVE

When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
That we never say
Look at us now
Standing on the edge again
It's not too late to try again
I need some...

[Chorus]
Evidence of love
To keep on going
Show me some evidence of love
And I'll be here
I still believe we can see this through
There's only so much I can do
And it doesn't make sense
Without some evidence of love

There's a frozen look on your face
Is it saying goodbye
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

[Chorus]

Stand and fight
Gotta say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
Here's a chance to make it right

Talk to me now
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

[Chorus]


5. GOODBYE

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And it'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

[Chorus]
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

[Chorus]

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye


6. THE VANISHING RACE

Sun, I can't slow you down
Run, build on sacred ground
All of the leavesd have blown away
Ghosts on a distant highway
In a vanishing race

Sleep, if your eyes must close
Weep, over a poisoned rose
Soon all the tears will blow away
Dust on a distant highway
In the vanishing race

Fly, closer to the sun
Fight, 'till your world is one
Soon all the stars will burn away
Ghosts on a different highway
In the vanishing race

Oh, shall we sleep tonight
Take all your dreams and drive away
Smoke on a distant highway
From the vanishing race

All my people
Respect your Mother Earth
Thank you for this life and this breath
And all my people's strength


7. DON'T TELL ME

You were late last night, the candle burned so low
And in my darkest hour I knew you had to go
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Is there someone else that loves you even more
Don't tell me

Standing face to face the words just fall away
But in my loneliness I knew just what to say
Did he touch you where I touched you long ago
Please don't answer, I don't really want to know

So don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

Should I close my eyes and say I'm giving up
Can we compromise the darker side of love
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Since I lost your love I need you even more
Don't tell me lies

I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me


8. TOO SENTIMENTAL

One world, one love, these can never be apart
Whisper in your words what is in your heart
How can I stop this emotion knowing that it's true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew this feeling is part of you too, girl

Midnight, candlelight
Knowing you are close to me
So much I have inside
I've got to set it free

With you silence can be spoken
If love has broken through
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl

Ooh, sentimental man
Am I saying too much too soon
'Cause I love you
Such a gentle girl
Waiting for you

One love, two touch, we can never be apart
I want you so much for what is in your heart
How can we stop this emotion knowing that it's true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl


9. I REMEMBER LOVE

I've been staring at the floor
And I've been holding back the tears
And I'd been talking to the walls
If the walls had ears

And now it seems that every time
I look into your eyes
There is only so far I can see

[Chorus]
So take me back there
Where only we can go
When you touch me the memories unfold
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?

I've been looking to the future
And I've been dreaming of our past
But now I'm counting on this moment
'Cause it may be the last

And days go by and still I try
To reach into your soul
There is only so far I can go

[Chorus]

Remember the times when our world was alive
And all of the answers were clear
Remember the times when our souls would ignite
ANd passion explodes into fears

And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?


10. I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU

When the sun sets on the ocean
When the yellow touches the blue
When your heart begins to open
I'll be so close to you

When you're dreaming and I hold you
Remember that dream will come true
When you wake up and you need me
You'll know just what to do

In the winter when it's raining
And the sun can never shine through
All those days of endless waiting
I'll be thinking of you

When thunder breaks the dawn
When all muy strength is gone
When shadows disappear
I'll still be holding on

When then sun sets on the ocean
When the yellow touches the blue
When your heart begins to open
I'll be so close to you

When you're dreaming and I hold you
Remember that dream will come true
When you wake up and you need me
You'll know just what to do

In the winter when it's raining
And the sun can never shine through
When your heart begins to open
When your heart begins to open
When your heart begins to open

I'll be thinking of you
