Letra
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flash back warm nights, almost left behind Suitcase of memories Time after Sometimes you pictured me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said Then you said, go slow, I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall, I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time After my picture fades And darkness has turned to grey Watching through windows You're wondering if I'm ok Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time You said, go slow, I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time If you're lost you can look And you will find me, time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time (Time after time) (Time after time) (Time after time) - What's Going On4:41

- Fall into Your Dreams4:46
Letra
Little baby, on my shoulder I could fall into your dreams ... Wrap myself up, all around you Till you don't know what it means. Dont lie shrugging your shoulders now like i shouldn't stare. Don't sigh so deep. Are you the kind of man that i hoped you would or wouldn't be ? Maybe baby's gone to sleep ... Maybe baby's gone to sleep. Pull myself a little closer, I could feel your body breath Hear the pulsing of my heartbeat Rhyming rhythms endlessly. If i could catch three wishes from a falling star, One i would keep ... And two i would put on your pillow with a lullaby ... Maybe baby's gone to sleep Maybe baby's gone ... Hold on to a thought at the end of the day ... Someday we'll be watching the clouds as they're drifting away. And you might think about leaving but i'll always stay. Little baby on my shoulder, I could fall into your dreams Wrap yourself up all around me Till you don't know what it means ... I could fall into your dreams ... I could fall into your dreams ... Maybe baby's gone to sleep ... - Iko Iko2:10
Letra
My grand-ma and your grand-ma were sit-tin' by the fire. - My grand-ma told your grand-ma, "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire." - Chorus: Tal-kin' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day. Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. - Look at my king all dressed in red. - I-KO, I-KO, un-day. I bet-cha five doll-lars he'll kill you dead. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. - (Repeat Chorus) See that man all dressed in green? - I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He ain't a man; He's a lo-vin' ma-chine. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. - (Repeat Chorus) My flag boy and your flag boy were sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told your flag boy, "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire." - (Repeat Chorus) - Sisters of Avalon4:22
Letra
Felt someone calling me into the howling of the wind. I heard the reflection of a sound echoing through my skin ... And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ... Through my wild heart ... Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... She is awakening in dark swells and mystery. Unbridled night mares powerful and running free. You could still hear her cries reverberating through the trees... For the trampled flowers, the daughters of Eve, the Sisters of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... They brought her in in a new white dress... But the stain left an ache on her mother's breast... Now all that's left are the ghostly steps from a distant corridor... And a distant drum rumbling under ground gently guides me on ... Through my wild heart ... Whispering to me the Sisters Of Avalon... Sisters Of Avalon... Come on sisters... Come on sister... - I Drove All Night4:13
Letra
I had to escape The city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead, uh, huh Could taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that alright I drove all night What in this world Keep us from tearing apart No matter where I go I hear The beating of your heart I think about you When the night is cold and dark No one can move me The way that you do Nothing erases the feeling between me and you I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that alright I drove all night Could taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you I drove all night... to hold you tight - Hat Full of Stars4:27
Letra
I was folding up your letters Unpacking winter clothes Searching for my hat I thought I left it by the door So I tore around the room Like a bird without a head I saw your picture waving back at me From underneath the bed From a long, long time ago When all I had Was a hat full of stars The one I'll always treasure The one that you wore You loved the look But you never looked inside You would have seen us there You could've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars I'm trying to live in the present But I keep tripping on the past Finding out reality, well clarity Comes in dribs and drabs No we never had the time For everything we had So it felt like we had nothing That's what makes this hat so sad It was a long, long time ago When all we had Was a hat full of stars... ...You would have seen us there You could've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars Now whenever I'm alone And I think I might forget I wear my lucky hat Just like a crown up on my head - 'Cause all I have Is a hat full of stars... If you could see me now You would've seen far You should've seen the magic In my hat full of stars...
