(repeat) Copyright ©1988 EMI Music Publishing Ltd On your shore Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] Strange how my heart beats to find myself upon your shore. Strange how I still feel my loss of comfort gone before. Cool waves wash over and drift away with dreams of youth, so time is stolen, I cannot hold you long enough. And so this is where I should be now, days and nights falling by, days and nights falling by me. I know of a dream I should be holding, days and nights falling by, days and nights falling by me. Soft blue horizons reach far into my childhood days as you are rising to bring me my forgotten ways. Strange how I falter to find I'm standing in deep water. Strange how my heart beats to find I'm standing on your shore.

Copyright ©1988 EMI Music Publishing Ltd Evening Falls Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] When the evening falls and the daylight is fading, from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping? For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely. Close to home - I cannot say. Close to home - feeling so far away. As I walk the room there before me a shadow from another world where no other can follow. Carry me to my own, to where I can cross over.. Close to home - I cannot say. Close to home - feeling so far away. Forever searching; never right, I am lost in oceans of night. Forever hoping I can find memories, those memories I left behind. Even though I leave will I go on believing that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling? Like a child passing through, never knowing the reason. I am home - I know the way. I am home- feeling oh! so far away.

Copyright ©1991 EMI Music Publishing Ltd Marble Halls Lyrics by Alfred Bunn [top] I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls with vassals and serfs at my side, and of all who assembled within those walls that I was the hope and the pride. I had riches all too great to count and a high ancestral name. But I also dreamt which pleased me most that you loved me still the same, that you loved me you loved me still the same, that you loved me you loved me still the same. I dreamt that suitors sought my hand, that knights upon bended knee and with vows no maiden's heart could withstand, they pledged their faith to me. And I dreamt that one of that noble host came forth my hand to claim. But I also dreamt which charmed me most that you loved me still the same that you loved me you loved me still the same, that you loved me you loved me still the same.

Hope has a place in the lover's heart. Look to love, you may dream, and if it should leave then give it wings. But if such a love is meant to be; hope is home and the heart is free. Under the heavens we journey far, on roads of life we are wanderers. So let love rise, so let love depart, let hope have a place in the lover's heart. Hope has a place in the lover's heart. Look to love you may dream, and if it should leave then give it wings, but if such a love is meant to be hope is home and the heart is free. Hope is home and the heart is free.

Copyright ©2000 EMI Music Publishing Ltd Flora's secret Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] Lovers in the long grass look above them, only they can see where the clouds are going, only to discover dust and sunlight ever make the sky so blue. Afternoon is hazy, river flowing, all around the sounds moving closer to them, telling them the story told by flora, dreams they never knew. Silver willows, tears from Persia, those who come from a far-off island, Winter chanterelle lies under cover, Glory-of-the-sun in blue. Some they know as passion, some as freedom, some they know as love and the way it leaves them, Summer snowflake for a season when the sky above is blue, when the sky above is blue. Lying in the long grass close beside her giving her the name of the one the moon loves, this will be the day she will remember when she knew his heart was loving in the long grass close beside her whispering of love and the way it leaves them lying in the long grass in the sunlight, they believe it's true love, and from all around them flora's secret telling them of love and the way it breathes and looking up from eyes of amaranthine they can see the sky is blue, knowing that their love is true, dreams they never knew, and the sky above is blue.

How far we are from morning, how far we are and the stars shining through the darkness, falling in the air. Once, as the night was leaving into us our dreams were weaving. Once all dreams were worth keeping. I was with you. Once, when our hearts were singing, I was with you.

All days come from one day that much you must know, you cannot change what's over but only where you go. One way leads to diamonds, one way leads to gold, another leads you only to everything you're told. In your heart you wonder which of these is true the road that leads to nowhere, the road that leads to you. Will you find the answer in all you say and do? Will you find the answer in you?

Copyright ©2005 EMI Music Publishing Ltd It's in the rain Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] Every time the rain comes down, close my eyes and listen. I can hear the lonesome sound of the sky as it cries... Listen to the rain Here it comes again Hear it in the rain Feel the touch of tears that fall -they won't fall forever In the way the day will flow all things come, all things go. Listen to the rain ...the rain... Here it comes again... ...again.... Hear it in the rain ... the rain... Late at night I drift away - I can hear you calling, and my name is in the rain, leaves on trees whispering, deep blue sea's mysteries. Even when this moment ends, can't let go this feeling. Everything will come again in the sound, falling down, of the sky as it cries. Hear my name in the rain. Copyright ©2005 EMI Music Publishing Ltd If I could be where you are... Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] Where are you this moment - only in my dreams. You're missing, but you're always a heartbeat from me. I'm lost now without you, I don't know where you are. I keep watching, I keep hoping, but time keeps us apart. Is there a way I can find you, is there a sign I should know, is there a road I could follow to bring you back home? Winter lies before me now you're so far away. In the darkness of my dreaming the light of you will stay. If I could be close beside you, if I could be where you are, if I could reach out and touch you and bring you back home. Is there's a way I can find you, Is there's a sign I should know, Is there's a road I can follow to bring you back home to me? Copyright ©2005 EMI Music Publishing Ltd Long, long journey Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] City lights shine on the harbour, night has fallen down, through the darkness and the shadows I will still go on. Long, long journey through the darkness, long, long way to go; but what are miles across the ocean to the heart that's coming home? Where the road runs through the valley, where the river flows, I will follow every highway to the place I know. Long, long journey out of nowhere, long, long way to go; but what are sighs and what is sadness to the heart that's coming home? Long, long journey through the darkness, long, long way to go; but are what are miles across the ocean to the heart that's coming home? Long, long journey out of nowhere, long, long way to go; but what are sighs and what is sadness to the heart that's coming home?

When the day is over there's a heart a little colder; someone said goodbye, but you don't know why. Somewhere there is someone keeping all the tears they have been weeping, someone said goodbye, but you don't know why. Is there a reason why a broken heart begins to cry? Is there a reason you were lost although you don't know why? Give me a reason why you never want to say goodbye. If there's a reason, I don't know why. Always looking for a meaning, all the time you keep believing, but I don't know why you won't say goodbye. Even when the sun is shining you don't see the silver lining, but I don't know why you won't say goodbye. Is there a reason why a broken dream can never fly? Is there a reason you believe and then you close your eyes? Give me a reason why you hide away so much inside. If there's a reason, I don't know why. Is there a reason why a broken heart begins to cry? Is there a reason you were lost although you don't know why? Give me a reason why you never want to say goodbye. If there's a reason I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why. Copyright ©2005 EMI Music Publishing Ltd A moment lost Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] It's only now when words are said that break my heart in two, I wonder at how you endure all I've said, all I say to you. How strong, how brave, how true of you to bear the hurt I gave. I know it tears your heart in two; all I've said, all I say to you. After all the words are said, after all the dreams we made; every one a precious one, every one a summer sun... A moment lost, forever gone, can never be again, so know how much it mean to me; all you said, all you gave, all your love to me. Copyright ©2005 EMI Music Publishing Ltd Amid the falling snow Lyrics by Roma Ryan [top] How I remember sleepless nights when we would read by candlelight, and on the windowpane outside a new world made of snow; a million feathers falling down, a million stars that touch the ground, so many secrets to be found amid the falling snow. Maybe I am falling down. Tell me should I touch the ground? Maybe I won't make a sound in the darkness all around. The silence of a winter's night brings memories I hold inside; remembering a blue moonlight upon the fallen snow. Maybe I am falling down. Tell me should I touch the ground? Maybe I won't make a sound in the darkness all around. I close my window to the night. I leave the sky her tears of white. And all it lit by candlelight amid the falling snow. And all is lit by candlelight amid the falling snow.
