LYRICS:
Have you heard of a girl named Joanna?
She has eyes the colour of the sky
In her hands all the world is shaped
You and I
On the corner she watches and wonders
And we pass her by without a second glance
People seem to know of her talk of her
No one willing to give her a chance
Joanna, Ooohh
Joanna, Ooohh
As the blue skies turn to grey
She seems to be in the sunshine
As the weather changes it seems
She just walks away
(Guitar Solo)
Have you heard of a girl named Joanna
Her outstanding ways will amaze you
Her words you will always remember
Till time runs out of time
Windows glare as she walks past them
The leaves fall around her but never do they land
People seem to know of her talk of her
No one willing to understand
Joanna, Ooohh
Joanna, Ooohh
What if someday the answer we were looking for was here all along
She sees the way that we live out each day
Drawn out and long
Joanna, Ooohh
Joanna, Ooohh
Joanna, Ooohh
Joanna, Ooohh

Afraid of Heights

LYRICS:
Why do we try to fly?
It's just so far to fall
Why not let life pass you by?
You won't miss anything at all
But it's hard not to try
to touch the sky
and it's hard not to be
the one at all
The day never seems to break
nothing quite cuts through the dark
how much more can you take?
Until you can't sit still anymore
Till you take to the sky
with nowhere to hide
there's nothing left for you
but to fly, or fall
So take a step towards the edge
and see there's nowhere to run
Life goes on, without you
Don't let it end before it's begun
Cause it's hard not to try
to touch the sky
and it's hard not to be
the one, after all

LYRICS:
The Last Leaf:
As leaves around her fell like snow
she knew the time had come to let go
Her summer colors, once strong and bold
had left nothing more to admire and behold
Be brave she thought, as she broke free
This is just as you knew it would be
and with quiet courage she faced the ground
and slipped away without a sound
A truer beauty we'll never find
than the summer greens that Autumn leaves
behind
Autumn Leaves:
The falling leaves
Drift by my window
The falling leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

How Many Times
04:15

|
LYRICS:
Spring is here and things may change
and some things, they just can't stay the same
but everywhere you look you'll find
people with someone beside them
And how many times has she gotten away with it
how many times has she gotten away with it
how many times has she gotten away from you?
No one can quite understand
why she left you your heart in her hands
some times you hear her call your name
but when you look she's left you again
And how many times has she gotten away with it
how many times has she gotten away with it
how many times has she gotten away from you?
The waves crash the boats to the shore
and nothing can be done
The tides change just you knew they would
but you didn't have to change this way
Now she's gone and left you here
alone with a picture of the way things were
And if some day your heart you find
then hold on tight and pay her no mind
just lock it tight for someone new
someone who's heart you can hold on to
And how many times has she gotten away with it
how many times has she gotten away with it
how many times has she gotten away from you?

Spring & I
04:18
|

|
LYRICS:
Just around the corner I see a shadow up ahead
I run as fast as I can but I can't catch you
and I can't catch my breath
I know they would never understand
but I'd never hesitate
I'm gonna catch you dear and bring you back
Spring and I will wait
Down an alley, down a river, down I seem to fly
I'd follow you to the end of the earth and beyond
and I'd never ask you why
I would rather chase my heart then have to trust in fate
I'm gonna catch you dear and bring you back
Spring and I will wait
The snow is melting
and the trees are green so suddenly
but all I'm thinking is
how long these days have been
and I can't take another season this way
I'll just wait
And if I catch you my dear what am I gonna say
I think I'll just press my lips to yours and let them explain
Cause there is nothing that I won't do
to be standing here with you oh
I stopped the seasons for you
and if I can do that, you know there's nothing I won't do
Spring and I will wait
Spring and I will wait
Spring and I will wait

Charade
04:37
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played
Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade
Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on
Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Charade

So It Goes
03:04
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
A ship to ride the great divide
washed upon the sandy shore
who can tell your story now
no one left there will be no more
A journey from who you are
what you were you cannot be
so many lost to the stars
but we can take to the sea
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes
One mind behind the faces two
her actions are of his design
four eyes see me and you
a plan to stop our great decline
if loneliness is at the heart
of these unhappy lives we know
then let us all be family
and fill out hearts with love
hi ho
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes
You've got to be kind, you've got to be kind
Oh oh ohhhh
You've got to be kind, you've got to be kind
You're not alone
You've got to be kind, you've got to be kind
Oh oh ohhhh
You've got to be kind, you've got to be kind
You're not alone
From war only war is born
two sides to every tale we know
the ones working high above
all the rest down below
standing on the edge you find
the center's not the place of truth
and if they will not hear your words
they can't be saved with the proof
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes
So it goes

Day by Day
05:09
|

|
LYRICS:
Day by day
I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day
my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day
You're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
That I'm yours alone
and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day

Invisible
03:48
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
I hear you trying to be heard
A voice behind a door
I look away, but you linger on
Slowly moving upon me
Invisible, invisible
Where are you going
Invisible, invisible
Where can you be
Tip toeing closing doors, you're everywhere
keeping secrets I don't know I've told
How long have you called this place home
Did you live here so long ago
Invisible, invisible
Where are you going
Invisible, invisible
Where can you be
I keep trying to find you
A soul with a story to tell
But when I turn you're always gone
Maybe I don't know you that well
Is there still something that you need to do
Before you can go on your way
A message still to be delivered
One more thing that you forgot to say
Invisible, invisible
Where are you going
Invisible, invisible
Where can you be
Invisible, invisible
Where are you going
Invisible, invisible
Where can you be

Pretending
04:05
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
Is this how it ends?
A glass of wine and a kiss good-bye
I know we just met
But I've known you all my life
And all my life has led to you
I try to walk away
not to play such a foolish game
But candle light dancing on the wall
Is making it hard not to fall
And I don't want to fall in love
But what if we always regret
And never forgive our hearts
How can we stop something dear
If we never start?
As this moment ends
My heart knows this will never be
But how long will I
Go on pretending
That you loved me
That you love me

Lullaby
03:36
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
Go to sleep
And let a dream
Take you away
Away from the day
A journey awaits
Close your eyes
And when you are there
Nothing can harm you
You can do no wrong
Let the night take you back
Where you belong
And I will keep you safe
And close to my heart
The night is a wondrous place
So close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And let a dream take you away
Away from the day
Just close your eyes
Away from the day
Just close your eyes
