Raining In Mexico




LITTLE LESS GREY
(B. Richey)

You can't shatter this illusion
Cause I'm not sure what to believe
But if we just piss this all away now
What did we achieve?

I'm trying to bridge this gap between us
But there's more than meets the eye
If there's some truth you're just not saying
Isn't that still a lie?

Cause I can hear the words, but I can't figure out
What you did or didn't say
I need a little more, black and white
And a little less grey

It's all come down to just one moment
I know it's now or never more
This could take me to a place I've
Never been before

There's a feeling I remember
But it's not the same as this
All the pieces that are missing
Do they still exist?

(Chorus)

I've just been hoping I was wrong
Have I been wrong for holding on?

(Solo)
(Chorus X @2)

RAINING IN MEXICO
(B. Richey)

As I step down off the train
There's no one here that knows my name
Oh but the sky still looks the same
And here I am

I smell the ocean in the air
And I hear music everywhere
Is this the answer to my prayer
Well here I am

All I can look back now and see
Is where your shadow use to be

And its raining in Mexico
And there's static on my radio
Its raining in Mexico tonight

I end up just outside of town
Oh where there's no one else around
I might be lost, I might be found
But here I am

Each drop of rain is like a sign
I've come a long, long way to find
Oh and your still on my mind
But here I am

Oh I'm so far away from home
Now I know what its like to be all alone

And its raining in Mexico
And there's static on my radio
Its raining in Mexico tonight
Let it rain all night

And I will wash away my pain
In the Mexico rain

(Solo)
All I can look back now and see
Is where your shadow use to be

(Chorus X 2)

POINT OF NO RETURN
(B. Richey)

All we have to do is stop before we go too far
Take another point of view and stay with things the way they are
But I can't do that anymore, it's hard for me to take it slow
What are we still waiting for, both of us already know

So afraid of dropping our guard, all we do is make it hard

We've passed the point of no return
Fell in love, oh when will we ever learn
We both knew where this was leading
It's too late to turn back now
Oh we've passed the point of no return

It's too strong to be ignored, and there's not a lot to figure out
We just can't fight it anymore, and that's what this is all about

I think it's only fair you should know, that I could never let you go

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus X 2)

THE CALL
(B. Richey)

"The doors open, come on in"
"It's been a while man, how you been"
It don't take long to see that there's something wrong

You choose your words so carefully
Every pause sounds like a symphony
Then you finally spit it out, you don't have very long

Oh and Danny got the call today
And when he told me I was blown away
And there's not a whole lot I can say but "I'm here for you now"

"Dan, let's get out of here"
"We could take a drive and get a beer"
I try to force a smile but my hearts on the ground

A time when it means the most
All the words that come aren't coming close
There's so much I want to say but I don't know how

Danny got the call today
His world exploded like a hand grenade
"I won't turn around and walk away, oh I'm here for you now"

(Break)

Danny turned my heart around tonight
Danny turned my heart around tonight

(Chorus X2)

ANGEL
(B. Richey)
I'm so used to hiding the pain
No one knows the way I feel
And sometimes I can't even tell
If it's fantasy or real

I'm putting my love on the line
I've waited far too long
Don't leave me caught in between
Cause I'm barely holding on

Don't cry tonight
Somebody's out there waiting
Don't cry tonight
Love is on it's way

Send me an angel
Oh I can't wait for destiny
I pray to heaven sweet heaven
Send an angel to me

I've spent too much time all alone
And it's more than I can take
And if she is only just a dream
I don't want to be awake

(Bridge)
(Chorus X 2)

You Have My Heart
(B. Richey)

I know this hasn't come easy
We've both made mistakes
But we never gave up or let go
Isn't that what it takes?

Life can lead us both spinning around
But I'll still fall in your arms

I don't know oh what I'd do without you
When you need me I'm never too far
And your not alone when I'm gone
Because you have my heart

There's so much that you've shown me
That I've never known
There's something here that's so natural and pure
And it sure feels like home

Life can take us both oceans apart
But I'm still here by your side

You and I were meant to be together
Oh and nothing can break us apart
There's a bond that's beyond separation
And you have my heart

(Solo)

Life can make love a mountain to climb
Oh but we've found a way
And I use to be scared all the time
But now I'm not afraid

It's amazing how we've grown together
I love you for all that you are
And there's one thing you can be sure of
You have my heart

I don't know oh what I'd do without you
When you need me I'm never too far
Oh and your not alone when I'm gone
Because you have my heart

You have my heart
You have my heart
You have my... heart

AIN'T LIKE IT USED TO BE
(B. Richey)

Innocence is not enough
Children can't wait to grow up
The faces change, the reasons stay the same

A fact of life you can't avoid
A great big world a little boy
Life's a toy he plays it like a game

But I don't see a thing I recognize
The questions live the answers die
Just blink your eyes and everything will change

It ain't like it used to be
This is all something new to me
I just see what I choose to see
Cause it ain't like it used to be

Such a shame to sacrifice
Childhood is paradise
Run home from school and go outside and play

Guess I missed the point the sun has set
Now it's something I will never get
The meaning changed somewhere along the way

(Chorus)

I'm not going to surrender
This is not my destiny
Oh and I can still remember
This ain't at all like how it used to be

(Solo)
(Bridge)
(Chorus X 2)

HEARTS & FLOWERS
(B. Richey)

It's 4 o'clock this morning, she still can't fall asleep
And he's already breaking, a promise he can't keep

And the night goes on forever, she's waiting for the dawn
Then finally falls asleep, into the dreams where she belongs

Hearts and flowers break and fade
The silence is your serenade
Time has had it's way with your love
The only thing your sure of
Is hearts and flowers always break and fade

Nothing ever changes, the days all seem the same
Standing in the shadows, crying in the rain

She's sitting in the darkness, she doesn't need the light
All alone, just close your eyes, another endless night

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Break)
(Chorus X 2)

UP TO YOU
(B. Richey - P. Laferty)

What more can I do to play your game
Would you even notice I was gone
You don't even know how close I came
I don't know what keeps me holding on

All is fine then you change your mind
Can't you see that it's gone too far
I'm left out in an ocean of doubt
Now I must know where you are

It's up to you, it's up to you
don't you let me down tonight
It's up to you, it's up to you
turn it all around tonight
Well you might, tonight, it's alright

If you're trying to see what I can take
(What I can take)
Trying to put my back against the wall
Well baby I might bend but I won't break
(I won't break)
I'm gonna be the one who makes the call

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Break)
(Solo)
(Chorus X 2)

NOW I KNOW
(B. Richey)

I've spent all of my life up till now walking round in a haze
Then you gave me a glimpse, all I've missed, oh I was so amazed

It's hard to be strong
It was here then it's gone
But from now on

Every time I start wondering what love means
I'll think of you
Though the feeling it wasn't returned
I still know it's true
At least now I know
At least now I know

Never knew what the view looked like from here
Now that old view just don't look the same

All the sadness of what could have been doesn't change how you feel
All the tears you don't cry doesn't make this all any less real

Its hard to be strong
When everything's gone
But from now on

Every time I start wondering what love means
I'll think of you
Though the feeling it wasn't returned
I still know it's true
No ones brought me so close to the edge

Closer than you
This didn't end up where I had hoped
I never knew
At least now I know
At least now I know

Song On The Radio
(B. Richey)

There's something that I've never told you
I'm waiting till the time is right
I always find a reason not to say
Wait till another night

I don't want you to be mistaken
I really need to have you here
I know I'd better find a way to tell you
Before you disappear

But the words just come out wrong
So I keep waiting for a song

Just a song on the radio
The only way I can let her know
Just a song on the radio tonight

I'm sorry if I seem uncertain
It's not like I don't give a damn
I know if you could see inside my heart
You'd finally understand

I've been waiting all night long
I'm still waiting for a song

(Chorus)

Waiting for a song on the radio
The only way I can let her know
A song on the radio tonight
The words will finally come out right

(Solo)
(Chorus)

'tIL THE END OF TIME
(B. Richey - A. Watts)

I've waited so long in my silence
My heart is anxious to soar free
I keep on hoping that I'll find you
All the while hoping you'll find me
But if I told you, would you believe

You know where I am, just give the sign
With you there's no point that I draw the line
If that's what it takes to make you mine
Then I will be here 'til the end of time

It's like a dream when I'm around you
I'm happy just to see your face
Please believe me...there's nothing I won't do

(Chorus)

And so I wait and so I wonder
Watching the flickering candles flame
Just let me show you how much I care for you
I don't want to let you slip away

My innocence is now a blessing
You look right through me at my soul
I am ready, I am willing to have you here
To make me whole

I offer myself as the sacrifice
Burn me to ashes, I'll pay the price
All my pain I will leave behind
Our love so pure is the tie that binds
You know where I am, just give the sign
With you there's no point that I draw the line
If that's what it takes to make you mine
Then I will be here 'til the end of time...for you

RODEO
(B. Richey)

Demon's in your heart oh and life is a rodeo
Perfect for the part you just fall like a domino
Stare into the sun until your going blind
There's nowhere left to run but you don't really mind
Demon's in your heart oh and life is a rodeo

Whoa, you know who you are
That's all you need to know
Whoa, demon's in your heart
And life's a rodeo

Demon's in your heart oh and life is a rodeo
Confusion is an art, wonder why and you'll never know
You can walk the wire and not care where you turn
Frozen by the fire you love to watch it burn
Demon's in your heart oh and life is a rodeo

(Chorus)

You know you've been reprimanded
Stranded in the lost and found
But it's not so bad empty handed
Nothings left to way you down

(Solo)

Demon's in your heart oh and life is a, rodeo
Demon's in your heart oh and life is a, rodeo, rodeo

(Chorus X 2)

(Life's a rodeo), life's a rodeo
(Life's a rodeo), life's a rodeo
Whoa

FLY AWAY
(B. Richey)

From what I've seen, this is not the dream
I want to come true
There's so far to go and I already know
What I have to do

The line is drawn, the fear is gone tonight
On and on, just lead me to the light

Fly away
Staying one step ahead of yesterday
Fly away

Now I'm breaking free, there's a place for me
Far away from here
I'm a night away from a better day
I'll just disappear

The time has come to spread my wings and fly
Chase the sun, I'm reaching for the sky

(Chorus)

It took me so long to see
The road's right in front of me
And I know that it leads to
The place I'm supposed to be

Fly away
Fly away

(Chorus X 2)

You're Not Alone
(B. Richey)

There are something's in life that you just can't control
I think you and I were not just chosen by chance
And if the music stops playing I'll sing in your ear and we'll dance

And when the worlds throwing rocks at this glass house we live in
We'll just pick up the pieces and not shed a tear
I've found everything I ever wanted as long as you're here

So don't cry

You can count on my love and I know how you feel
And it's alright

You're not alone, oh I'm right here beside you
And nothing can take me away
You're not alone, couldn't leave if I tried to
I love you so don't be afraid

Oh and life doesn't look like it looked like before
Now I'm relearning everything I ever knew
But all these challenges only bring me that much closer to you

Don't fear
Anytime that you need me you know where I am
Cause I'm right here

You're not alone, oh I'm always beside you
And nothing can break us apart
You're not alone, couldn't leave if I tried to
I love you with all of my heart

(Solo)

There are something's in life that you just can't control
I think you and I, we were not chosen by chance
And if the music stops playing I'll sing in your ear and we'll dance
la, la, la, la, la...

You're not alone, oh I'm right here beside you
And nothing can take me away
You're not alone, couldn't leave if I tried to
I love you so don't be afraid

You're not alone, oh I'm always beside you
And nothing can break us apart
You're not alone, couldn't leave if I tried to
I love you with all of my heart
All of my heart, all of my heart
I love you with all of my heart

The Real Me
(B. Richey)

It's not what I want to see, right there in front of me
But here it is
Years of denying have left my heart crying out for
More than this
I'm facing a fear that just won't disappear, and now it's
All I know
My hands on my heart now I'm back where I started
So long ago

Wide awake, wide awake

And I wonder can you see the real me
Cause there's a side of myself I don't want to see

This war that I'll never win is all that I've ever been
Another year
The clouds keep on gathering, oh how I'd rather be
Miles from here

Wide awake, miles away
Wide awake and miles away

(Chorus)

And it's slowly pushing you away
A truth our hearts cannot evade
The silence holding back a dream
It's just a dream

(Chorus X 2)

MY HEART
(B. Richey - P. Laferty)

Do you remember your life before
Once alone but now no more
Was it love that you wanted
Take my hand and we will try

You can because I know that we
Will always be together
You're a part of my heart
Of my heart
Now you're a part of my heart

Seems like you're wondering if we're ok
Well I haven't got the words to say
But they don't really matter
What we have will never die

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus X 2)
