Frozen Ocean 06:48
[Verse 1] Here on the shore Looking out to sea In the dead of January The tide has stopped Former waves have ceased Once-warm waters frozen in a sheet How far from here could I walk If I stepped out on that ice block? [Chorus 1] Frozen ocean, take me far from here Far from this world I know Frozen ocean, lead me far from home Just how far out can I go Before I reach the end And sink down below? [Verse 2] On that tundra Only ice around Bitter chill, winter winds the only sound How far til I Reach the outer bound? If I do, would I see those who have drowned? Too far from shore to return Too perilous for self-concern [Chorus 2] Frozen ocean, take me far from here Far from this world that I know Frozen ocean, lead me far from home Just how far out can I go Before I reach the end And sink down below? [Bridge] Only you Can stop me in my path Only you can save me Is that too much to ask? That fire in your eyes Can warm me Burn me Back to life [Chorus 3] Frozen ocean, take me far from here Far from this world that I know Frozen ocean, lead me far from home Just how far out can I go Before I reach the end And sink Down below?

[Verse 1] Pushed under below you Bent over above you No rhythm, no reason No manner of pleasing [Verse 2] Confounded desire The mind is a-fire No making you hear me No reason to fear me [Chorus 1] No rhythm, no reason No reason, no rhyme For stealing and teasing For taking my time [Verse 3] No rhythm or reason No manner of pleasing No making you hear me No reason to fear me [Chorus 2] No rhythm, no reason No reason, no rhyme For stealing and teasing For wasting my mind

[Verse 1] Too cool to care Too aloof to love Deadly desolate Icy isolate There's a comfort In your cold stare I might be caught Within your snare [Chorus] Hey, Stone cold lady with the frozen heart I, I could love you, but at what cost? [Verse 2] Are you alone? I could be the one To ease your hurt We'll be lonely together Or shall I be led on And become undone By the dark forces Of your heart that shun? [Chorus] Hey, Stone cold lady with the frozen heart I, I could love you, but at what cost? [Bridge] I could love you If you loved me too Do I even dare Try to get through to you? I could love you If you loved me too Do I even dare Try to get through to you? [Chorus] Hey, Stone cold lady with the frozen heart I, I could love you, but at what cost? Hey, Stone cold lady with the frozen heart I, I could love you, but at what cost? Hey, Stone cold lady with the frozen heart I, I could love you, but at what cost?

Confused 03:46
[Verse 1] No, it's not love just yet But more than fascination These hearts are still unmet Lit infatuations But with just one glance Or with just one smile Is there some romance Or just your wiles? [Chorus] Oh, when I think of you I don't know what to do Do I concede or keep my heart from you? When you look at me I think you might feel too What good is to find out if that's true? You make me so confused [Verse 2] And now the years gone past And many miles apart That when we crossed paths Then returned the spark And all the former questions All the close-held desire And the once-past obsession To start the wildfire [Chorus] Oh, when I think of you I don't know what to do Do I concede or keep my heart from you? When you look at me I think you might feel too What good is to find out if that's true? You make me so confused

Angel 05:11
[Verse 1] I don't know you I've never seen you But today you caught my eye Now it's only tonight But how could I forget? [Chorus] I've seen you once a thousand times Each time the first and last Never again as once it was Tonight it's you I see Will you turn and see me? [Verse 2] Your shining hair, angelic face Starlight skin and lightning eyes I'll think of you on some lonesome night When you'll be but a memory That sings and comforts me [Chorus] I've seen you once a thousand times Each time the first and last Never again as once it was Tonight it's you I see Will you turn and see [Verse 3] You came down from heaven To grace the earth for just one night And then return whence you came Hearts and memories in your wake Or so this story goes [Chorus] I've seen you once a thousand times Each time the first and last Never again as once it was Tonight it's you I see Will you please remember? I've seen you once a thousand times Each time the first and last Never again as once it was Tonight it's you I see Will you turn and see me?

[Verse 1] She sees the cliffs and canyons And the effects of time How could forces so destructive Sculpt things so sublime? [Verse 2] She sees the stars above The dark of a midnight sky The light of a hundred stars That have already died [Chorus] She chases sunsets The dying of the light For the sun's most beautiful Right before the fall of night She chases sunsets That most glorious sight Another day succumbs And reminds us that we're finite [Verse 3] She sees human folly Building castles in the sand Making mockery of the natural temples And marring with their hands [Verse 4] She sees the winds of change And the coming final day The wake of human life While still the landscapes erode away [Chorus] She chases sunsets The dying of the light For the sun's most beautiful Right before the fall of night She chases sunsets That most glorious sight Another day succumbs And reminds us that we're finite [Verse 5] She stands at the end of the earth For the final sunset The stars pierce the dark no more Still she sees that nothing's left [Chorus] She chases sunsets The dying of the light For the sun's most beautiful Right before the fall of night She chases sunsets That most glorious sight Another day succumbs And reminds us how we're finite

Gone! 08:29
[Verse 1] I tried to give her up once before So why do I come back for more? What can she do no other can? Will she disrupt all of my plans? [Chorus] She's gone Without a second glance She's gone And now I've lost my chance She's gone Without a second glance She's gone And now I've lost my chance [Verse 2] I gave her up one time before So why can I not now ignore? I let her slip right through my hands She'll plague my mind until the end [Chorus] She's gone Without a second glance She's gone And now I've lost my chance She's gone Without a second glance She's gone And now I've lost my chance [Chorus] She's gone Without a second glance She's gone And now I've lost my chance She's gone Without a second glance She's gone And now I've lost my chance
