And now I'm all alone again nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home without a friend, without a face to say hello to.
And now the night is near, now I can make believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him and then I'm happy with the company I'm keeping.
The city goes to a bed and I can live inside my head.
On my own, pretending He's beside me. All alone I
walk with him till morning.
Without him I feel his arms around me and when I lose my way I close
my eyes and he has found me.
In the rain the pavement shines like silver. All the lights
are misty in the river.
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight, and all I see is him
and me for ever and forever.
And I know it's only in my mind, that I'm talking to myself and not
to him.
And although I know that he is blind, still I say there's a way for
us.
I love him, but when the night is over, he is gone, the river's just
a river.
Without him the world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywere the streets are full of strangers.
I love him, but everyday I'm learning, all my life I've only been pretending.
Without me his world will go on turning, a world that's full of happiness
that I have never known.
I love him, I love him, I love him, but only on my own.
Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry
men!
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
there is a life about to start. When tomorrow comes!
There’s a grief than can’t be spoken. There’s a pain goes
on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables, now my friends are dead and gone.
Here they talked of revolution; Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about tomorrow; And tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner, they could see a world reborn.
And they rose with voices ringing and I can here them now.
The very words that they had spoken, became their last communion, at a lonely barricade at dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends, forgive me, but I live and you are gone.
There’s a grief that can’t be spoken; There’s a pain goes on and on.
Phantom faces at the window, phantom shadows on the floor,
Empty chairs and empty tables, where my friends will meet no more.
Oh, my friends, my friends, don’t ask me what your sacrifice was for.
Empty chairs and empty tables where my friends will sing no more.
There was a time when men were kind, and their voices were soft and
their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind and love was a song and the song
was exciting.
There was a time and it all went wrong.
I dreamed a dream in time gone by when hope was high and life’s worth
living.
I dreamed that love would never die; I dreamed that God would
be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid and dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid, no song unsung, no wide eyed traces.
But the time has come and died with the voice as soft as thunder
as they tear your world apart as they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side. He filled my days with
endless wonder.
He took my childhood in his stride, but he was gone when autumn came.
And still I dream he’ll come to me that we will live the years together.
But there are dreams that cannot be... and there are songs we
cannot weather.
I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I’m living.
So different now from what it seemed; Now life has killed
the dream I dreamed.

Love - love changes everything -- hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love - love changes everything; how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly or the night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.
Love - love changes everything. Days are longer, words mean
more.
Love - love changes everything; Pain is deeper than before!
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love - love changes everything, brings you glory; brings you shame!
Nothing in the world will ever be the same!
Off into the world we go; planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly, all our wisdom disappears!
Love makes fools of everyone; all the rules we make are broken!
Yes, love, love changes everyone. Live or perish in its
flame!
Love will never never let you be the same . . . . . Love will never,
never let you be the same!
