But this is the time for us
And I ain’t gonna miss the buss
This time

No return - so there’ll be no turning back
Once I know that you'll be by my side
No return - maybe you’ll give me all the love
That you always felt you had to hide

No return
I’ve come a thousand miles across the ocean
But that ain’t half as far as my emotion
Now I’ve reached the point of no return

While on my way down the avenue
I had to stop for a drink or two or three
Now not that I was stalling you
For time

It’s just I wanted to feel my best
And I almost passed the test
I need your lovin’ to do the rest
This time

No return - so please don’t ever do
What you’ve done so many times before
No return - because I’ve made up my mind
That this time I'll make it through your door

No return
I rode above the clouds so far below me
But didn’t get as high as when you hold me
Now I’ve reached the point of no return

I’m at the point of no return
I’m watching the candle burn both ends
There’s a lesson we both can learn
This time

I don’t wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
And I ain’t gonna miss the buss
This time

No return - so there’ll be no turning back
Once I know that you’ll be by my side
No return - maybe you’ll give me all the love
You always felt you had to hide

No return
I rode above the clouds so far below me
But didn’t get as high as when you hold me
Now I’ve reached the point of no return

No return - so please don’t ever do
What you’ve done so many times before
No return - because I’ve made up my mind
That this time I'll make it through your door

No return
I’ve come a thousand miles across the ocean
But that ain’t half as far as my emotion
Now I’ve reached the point of no return



Imagination

(Hensley)

Sometimes I'm certain
Sometimes my mind is filled with doubt
Some thoughts lay heavy here
Sometimes I think it's figured out

Imagination
Endless voyage of discovery
I'm at once impatient and afraid
Some day you may walk out on me

At least when you're with me
I'm not afraid to live with mystery
I'm sure you know how sad
One night without a dream can be

Imagination
Bitter sweet companion as my time flies by
Love hate relation
Hand in hand towards infinity

Lead me here, lead me there
Everywhere if you really dare
Today, tonight, tomorrow
You don't have to take my hand
I'll take it just the way it's planned
Lead on, speed on, I'll follow

When you see me coming
You're gonna know I'm not alone
Me and my imagination
We'll be side by side any way

The wind is blown love songs and fantasies
They've kept us busy since the day we met
Each new horizon reminds us now
It's not over yet



Feelings

(Hensley)

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'

I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it all seemed right
But I knew that by
Morning you'd be gone

And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where I stand

'Cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know it must come to an end

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'

You'd better know
That I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me where I wanna be

Sure I'll miss ya nut I gotta choose
You can't believe that I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see

So I'll see you around or I'll write
And I'll send you some love
'Cause where I wanna go
There ain't nothing to do but move

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'



Fools

(Bolder)

I know this feeling inside
Has just made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance
And do what's in my heart

You always said that
You'd stand by me
And help me get along so understand
I must do what's in my heart

I know this feeling inside
Has helped me to carry on
So as the days go by
And the nights that never end

You play the clubs and you play the game
The next day you will find
You'll have to try and please that fool again
Don't you know that

Fools play at games
Don't you know that fools play at games?
And I know that I'm not afraid of you
Fools play at games
Don't you know that fools play at games?
And I know that I'm not afraid of you

Day after day I feel this way
That I need to be moving on
You know I depend on you
Don't get me wrong

I'll throw the dice and
I play the game
And hope we get along
Even then I won't be fooled again

So I've read your words and I've signed my name
But I can't make up my mind
If you really care or you're
Playing your games

Fools play at games
Don't you know that fools play at games?
And I know that I'm not afraid of you
Fools play at games
Don't you know that fools play at games?
And I know that I'm not afraid of you



Carry on

(Hensley)

Carry on
Carry on

So what can I do? What can I say?
Do I have to stand and watch you walk away?
I know there's got to be a better way
I just can't go on living for today

I thought I heard a voice out on the wind
And I'm sure I heard it say I'd find a friend
And it said I'd find the answers in the end
All I gotta do is carry on

Carry on
Carry on
The time is flyin'
You need another love, maybe another town

Carry on
Carry on
Don't wait until your hope is gone
When your last chance comes 'round

I'm gonna keep on looking, I won't quit
Aggravation, it ain't gonna hurt a bit
And I believe that I have seen the last of it
There's nothing left to do but carry on

Carry on
Carry on
The time is flyin'
You need another love, maybe another town

Carry on
Carry on
Don't wait until your hope is gone
When your last chance comes 'round



Won't have to wait too long

(Bolder/Box/Hensley)

It's a quarter to seven on a Saturday morning
I open my eyes after the Friday night
I don't worry about the rain upon my window
'Cause where I'm going I know the sun will always shine

So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro
I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind
And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro
There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time

In this golden place there's a smiling face
I've got to find
And I won't have to wait too long
Before she's mine

My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows
Or searching for the gold beneath the sea
But rainbows only shine when it's been raining
And gold will never keep you company

So now I'm wonderin' what to say in conversation
To the lady of my dreams that I should meet
If I speak to her the language of all nations
Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right off her feet

And I know she will
Then I'll love her 'till the end of time
And I won't have to wait too long
Before she's mine

Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro
I've got a woman here that I can call my own
It doesn't matter if I'm living here or there
'Cause she used to live next door to me back home

So if you're thinking that I've settled down forever
I'll be telling you you've made a big mistake
'Cause I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado
There's a woman there I've got to try and make

She can fill the hole in my heart and soul
For a long, long time
And I won't have to wait too long
Before she's mine



Out on the street

(Hensley)

Out on the street, dead on my feet
At the mercy of the stone cold night
It's hard to compete in a dead end street
With frustration in your line of sight

Do you ever stop to think?
Do you ever stop at all?
Do you have the time to feel?
And if you do, do you know the feeling's real?

Followed a sign that pointed the way
And I found myself right back at that start
I like to feel good, I've tried feeling sad
But I can't stand a broken heart

Don't wanna wait 'till
My dying day to realise
I guess I'm lucky in a strange kinda way
'Cause it's clear before my eyes

A grey cloud, they say, hides a surprise
But it rained until I lost my belief
Just close your eyes, we'll show you the way
But I believe I've lost my faith

One man speaks and one man does
While another soul wields the sword
I hear you all but I still can't see
Just who it is who speaks the chosen word



It ain't easy

(Bolder)

You make it all sound easy
Now you’ve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That you’d found another man

But it’s hard to see what you want from me
It’s not easy to be in between
It’s now up to you to
Make the move this time

But it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy but you take the chance
The final chance to learn, yes, to learn

That it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy so you take a look
Another look at life, look at life

‘Cause it ain’t what you’ve got
In the palm of your hand
And it’s not what you’ll get from another man
That will last you the rest of your life, my friend

Monday morning’s waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Don’t keep the pages clean

Baby, now you’ve got this chance
Don’t leave me out
It’s so hard when you’re in between
What you need and what may never be

But it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy but you take the chance
The final chance to learn, yes, to learn

That it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy so you take a look
Another look at life, look at life
