Pleasure and Pain
Peace Like a Summer Breeze



ALL I WANT

You can have your fantasy back now
You can have your world the way it was
Not that I made such an impression
At least I won’t be making a fuss now

These are the words of a hurting child
They are confused and unkind
They’re not here to speak the truth
They’re only here to speak my mind
Only here to speak my mind

And you say
“All I Want Is a place in the Sun
And a warm hand to hold
When everything is done
And you must hold on
If you’re gonna be the one”

These are days of pain and doubt
Trying to work your fantasy out
Trying to see some room for me
While you’re bringing your dream about
You’re just bringing your dream about

(Chorus)

Well you can have your fantasy back now
You can have your world the way it was
I always hear you say...

But all I want is a Place in the Sun
And a warm hand to hold
When everything is done
But time marches on and we’re not having fun
Yeah time marches on
And maybe I won’t be the one

DESIRE

You held up your flame
And it lead you to your wishing well
Down to the place
That dreams don’t come about
You cried to the sky
You could not believe the loveless heart
That drew you to the fire
And left you to put your fire out

The dreams you have
Will always fold inside the schemes you fly
To you fall or till you get burned
On wings of fire

Digging deep, climbing higher
Get what you want
But you won’t forget desire

You can’t relieve desire
Don’t throw your water to fire
You can’t relieve desire
Don’t throw your water to fire

Oh lord has it truly come to this this time
Why speak of love
If love’s not mine to give
And must you lead me
Where I’m gonna waste my precious time
When all I want to do
Is learn to love and learn to live

I know I belong
And I’ve gotta be strong
I know that there’s more
Than the treasure that I dig for

(Chorus)

You know you belong
And you’ve gotta be so strong
You’re not to be measured
By what you find
When you’re digging for treasure

(Chorus)

SOMEDAY

Someday I will know the love that exists
I will wake my world up to this
Will not rein my heart to a kiss

And someday I will see a bright clear sky
I will let these tears out to dry
I will leave my fears to wonder why

And your first love is the love in your heart
And the worst luck is a heart that won’t be filled
And the first cut is the hardest to heal
But it’s the first hope of a well-filled heart

Someday if not here not now
If not you then how
Will I learn what love is about

(Chorus)

Walking on a fine line
Is where time has left you
Curled up in a tight wire
But love can undo what time won’t undo

WET WOOD

I took the coast way to Boundary st today
And onto cold terrain
Was dangerous I know to let the wind blow me
Into your domain
Cos what would I say
Nothing’s changed the choice I made

I just want to tell you
Things are working out
Kind of like I knew they would
No-one’s life is easy and right now
It’s like trying to light a fire in the rain

We used to sit right here
And pure emerald the water looked some days
How easy it would be if everyone could
See life and love that way
But what would you say
If you were caught in a haze
A maze you had to break
You’d take a breath and make your break
And do your best to keep your faith

Well I want to tell you
That things are working out
Kind of like I knew they would
No-one’s life is easy and right now
It’s like trying to light a fire in the rain
Yes I want to tell you
Things are working out
All too like I knew they would
I know it will get easier but right now
I’m trying to light a fire in the wind and rain
With wet wood

(So take the coast way
when you go today you go today
And let it blow away
what you don’t need tomorrow
But please keep some good faith
Cos some day could be a walk through shadow
Was just a need for some shade
so don’t be afraid as you walk through wind and rain
You’ve still got the love you gave)

GIVE IT 2 ME

Now it could tell, tell a story
And I could sing something of you and me
But what’s to tell
All I’ve got’s this feeling
That you left with me

You give it to me, to me child right now
You give it to me ,to me child right now
You give it to me ,to me child right now
Now you know how

I tell my hands
I tell them this rhythm
I tell my hands to tell my guitar
But in my eyes
It’s your rolling rhythm
Moving me side to side

You give it to me, to me child right now
Down in the pit of my heart, right now
You give it to me, to me child right now
Now you know how
You really know how to make it start

BE MINE

Seven years is a long long time
Won’t you please be mine
Seven years is a long long time
Won’t you please be mine
Oh yes I mean you

Ooh little bit of Sunshine
Ooh little bit of Sunshine

Now I’ve been here for a long long time
Won’t you please be mine
I’ve been here for a long long time
Won’t you please be mine
Oh yes I mean you

Ooh little bit of Sunshine
Ooh little bit of Sunshine

I won’t tell you what you want
Won’t tell you what you need, no
But when you know what you want
Are you coming to get me?

Now I’ve been true for a long long time
Won’t you please be mine
It’s been you for a long long long time
Won’t you please be mine
Oh yes I mean you

EASTSIDE

Should I be thinking up a reason why
I love you more than this
Should I be worried cos I don’t know why
I wandered into this

But surely you are waiting
And wondering a little as I do
Surely you can see
I only want to be the best for you

So shine over the eastside
The one that glows in your eyes
Shine over the westside
The one that shows in your smile

And it’s your way to want to bring
All those around you happiness
But in the end you’ve got to know
Just why and who you would protect

So if you find that someone you love
Don’t see it the way you do
Remember in your heart it’s a way to love
When you do what’s best for you

(Chorus)

If people see the dreams in your head
And listen to the things you’ve said
They will always read the words
That love leaves out

[back to top]

SYMPATHY

Sympathy will you run through me again
Sympathy will you run through me again
Every life’s a reason to forgive
Every life has a treason to forgive

Memory why do you undo me again
Memory why do you undo me again
Every life’s a reason to forget
Every life has a season to forget

And when I close my eyes
I’ll leave it all behind
So tell me something I don’t know
It’s been a long time coming
And it’s a long goodbye
I’ll see you in another life

Melody I’m ready if you use me again
Melody I’m willing if you choose me again
And if you have a story I could sing
Rather than the sorry one I’d bring

I wanna close my eyes...

[back to top]

EASY WAY

Easy way, seems you always new the
Easy way, now I’ve got to hand it to you
Easy way

Easy way, since the day I met you
Easy way, the world was gonna come to get you
Easy way, now what am I to say

Cos I learned the hard way
What you knew at the start
Everything I’d lose everything I’d pay
My friend, my foe, my heart

So breeze away, go on waste your time
Ease away in the warmth of another smile
Such an easy way, and there’s nothing I can say

My time is up and I can’t pay
I didn’t see your writing on my wall

Cos I learned the hard way...

Now how will I find my way
Over miles over days
All I can see now is my wall

[back to top]

PEACE LIKE A SUMMER BREEZE

Peace, I wish I knew your plan
I wanna spend all day with the one
Who holds the warmth of the sun in their hands

And closer than the will to be strong
far away from what you want
Is the loving hand that leads you on

Like a summer breeze when the heat is on
Like another reason to be strong
And a feeling that I belong
In the world at this moment
Right at this moment

Peace, I’m ready to heed the signs
Of choosing and of change
Living in these strange human times

And I know you know we’re tuning into the sound
Of whispers from you
Gonna help to get us through what’s going down

Like a summer breeze when the heat is on (To cool me down)
Like another reason to be strong (To turn me ‘round)
Just a feeling that I belong
Right here right now

A summer breeze when the heat is on (you cool me down)
Another reason to be strong (you turn me ‘round)
And a feeling that I belong
In the world at this moment

Where there’s no doubt, no doubt

[back to top]


PLEASURE AND PAIN

Sometimes I don’t think it’s gonna wait for me
It’s pulling out of the station before I’m ready
And springtime can make me feel
Nervous and impatient and lonely

You speak of love when you’re seventeen
You think you know the reasons for everything
Then come the time when you really need
The comfort of some answers there’s nothing

It’s a pleasure and pain
And I don’t know how to explain
But it’s got me longing
Like a child once again

Sometimes I don’t think you’re gonna wait for me
You’re pointing out all the funny things that I never see
The world is so much brighter out here with you
So why do I want to stay inside
And feel lost and blue

It’s a pleasure and pain
And I don’t know how to explain
But it’s got me longing
Like a child once again

It’s a pleasure and pain
And I don’t know how to explain
For that soft sigh
For that loving in your eye
For that sweet simple place inside
