Goodbye Day (Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Jeffrey McDonald, Steven McDonald) Oh, sincerely I must tell you that I really Love you dearly But you are so obsessed with yourself There's no room for me You can't give me all the things I need We've said all we can say Except our last goodnight To end this day Don't try changing my mind You won't find a way Just say hello To our goodbye day. Your reflection What you see without detection I see clearly All your perfect imperfections Colors turn to gray I know it's time for me To go away Just look behind you now It won't be me who's standing there Just say hello to our goodbye day We've said all we can say Except our last goodnight To end this day Don't try changing my mind You won't find a way Just say hello To our goodbye day
It's Too Real (Big Scary Animal) (Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Ralph Schuckett) You keep talkin' - who you trying to kid? Tryin' to keep your feelings hid And I'm a prisoner of the past It's so hard to make a good thing last We know history Over and over, will it repeat Hey you, it's only me No heart on my sleeve Here we go, some things are inevitable Don't we know, it could be so beautiful It's too real Situation flammable Love is, love is, love is.... A big scary animal Hey girl, be a man Why'd you let it get out of hand Hey boy, be a girl Who wants to live in a man's world? Come down, feel the ground We can't keep going 'round and around I know it's only you Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Hey boy, serves you right Why'd you have to take that bite Hey girl, play your game God knows they're all the same Hey girl, listen up No use drink' from that broken cup Hey man, feel the fear Someday I'm gonna catch your tears Here we go, some things are inevitable Don't we know, it could be so beautiful It's too real Situation flammable Love is, love is, love is.... A big scary animal
Too Much Water (Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Richard Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) Dreams in the night Dreams overflow Building bridges to each other Hearts make the waters flow Sunlight and diamonds Reflecting hope Making journeys to each other Going where lovers go You were sleeping, I was walking To the rhythm of the falling rain Too much water, to cross over All the bridges falling down You sing me songs With overtures From strange exotic places Words I've never known Wait 'til the morning Don't send me back Don't send me back across the rainbow No return to where I've been You were reaching, I was taken To the river in the light of dawn Too much water, to cross over All the bridges falling down Falling down Come lie beside me Lie beside me now Beneath the waves Beauty surrounds us
Lay Down Your Arms (Charlotte Caffey, Ralph Schuckett, Ellen Shipley) Your words how they cut so deep I can hear you in my sleep Lying here, wishing here Wishing here, waiting You forget I know your tender spots But I'll be careful with your heart But I'm the one loving you So come on and love me Lay down your arms Lay down, down, down, down Why'd you want to go And shoot love to the ground Lay down your arms Lay down, down, down down Lay with me Sometimes I can be so cold I let you in but I don't let go Pulling you, pushing you Pushing you, pulling Don't want to tear our love apart Can we find each other in the dark? Can we start living here? Can we start giving? So, we are in love So, we are at war But we can be on the same side
Where Love Hides (Ralph Schuckett) I open the door You stand there in the rain Your eyes say it all I know 'cause I feel the same Why do we do the things we do? How can both of us be so cruel? Why are we so afraid? Take my hand and step into the light As we touch our hearts will open wide Kiss my lips and hold me now And lie here by my side Help me find a place where love hides We will find the place where love hides I follow you home You smile there in the dark I hear your words How they twist me and tear me apart Why do we hurt the ones we trust? Is that all that's become of us? Why are we so afraid? Take my hand and step into the light As we touch our hearts will open wide Kiss my lips and hold me now and lie here by my side Help me find the place where love hides We will find the place where love hides
One with You (Charlotte Caffey, Ralph Schuckett, Ellen Shipley) Come wash my body Wash away my sins And all the ways we hurt each other Oh how we hurt ourselves I wanna know you now Come out of isolation I wanna show myself Of God, I wanna cry out loud I wanna be one with you Get down to the real emotion I wanna let love break through We can kiss the truth One with you I wanna hold you deep inside my heart Feel what love can do To know that I am one with you Come lie down in my garden Leave your mark on me I know I can't be scared forever Come on and humble me, humble me I'm so tired of living in my head The precious comfort of my own bed I've glorified my spiritual side Now take me down to the ground where I can't hide I know I can love myself I wanna give to someone else I wanna know you Touch you Move you Do you Feel you live and breathe Deep inside of me
Wrap My Arms (Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) You try to be a mystery With all your eccentricities Every move is so surreal You can't touch what you really feel I see a deeper side More than you know Don't even try to hide I've been everywhere you go All I want Is to wrap my arms around your world Break away the chains Set you free With everything that I can give to you Wrap my arms around your world You try to push the truth away With all your witty repartee A psychedelic romeo Who thinks and does it all for show I see myself in you I know we're both afraid There is an emptiness Behind our masquerade All I want Is to wrap my arms around your world All I want Is to wrap my arms around your world
Tell Me (Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) I think we've both been here before There doesn't seem to be much more My mind is shut, the door is closed Am I alone? We're sitting here, we're eye to eye We've crashed into a wall so high Fear's taken us two prisoners Can we let go? Tell me your darkest secret, tell me Show me what you don't want me to see Let me in, I want to know you, hold me Tell me your darkest secret I'll tell you mine We used to live for honesty Trust was our security We're walking down two different paths We've lost our way What's wrong with wanting everything Dark and light and in between What will be our saving grace? What can we say? Unlock the door, come inside There's no reason to be afraid Just talk to me We can hear the cry of love It echoes deep and far above What will be our saving grace? What will we say?
Windows of the World (Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) Just like a rose without a thorn Defenses fade, we've come undone Desire, the answer for harmony This moment together We can see Deep into the night We're looking through the windows of the world Underneath the sky We're opening the windows of the world We stay afloat on this sea of storms The tides of time carry us along Beginning and ending with what we know Surrender emotions Here we go Deep into the night We're looking through the windows of the world Underneath the sky We're opening the windows of the world Beginning and ending with what we know Surrender emotions Here we go Deep into the night We're looking through the windows of the world Underneath the sky We're opening the windows of the world
Here Comes My Baby (Gregg Alexander, Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) Hello, it's me The one who told you no I don't care if you don't like it But I had to let you know That love is at the door And it's pounding to be let in There's angels on the ceiling My heart is on the floor And I can't just be your friend Here comes my baby, walking back to me Here comes my baby, for all the world to see Why don't you stay 'til tomorrow I don't wanna let you go Here comes my baby How long did I Refuse to see the light How could I deny It must have been my pride You say you're on your way Before you go I'll be there I've felt a resurrection All my senses have returned Oh, this I swear It won't be long (I tell, I tell myself) Just be strong (I tell, I tell myself) Here comes my baby, walking back to me Here comes my baby, for all the world to see Why don't you stay 'til tomorrow I don't wanna let you go Here comes my baby
