A Leap Of Faith



You can run far away and think no one will see

You can convince yourself you have no feelings for me

I may fly 6 thousand miles and spend my time overseas

But at night you and I always meet up in our dreams

And you know inside your soul...


You can run but you can't hide

The truth is right there by your side

This is the way it's supposed to be

A leap of faith for you and me, you and me. 


You can say that you don't know or you never heard of it before

You can disguise your true heart and pretend there is nothing more

I may laugh away the hours in the company of other friends

But inside there only one true love with whom I want my time spent

And I know inside my soul...


You can run but you can't hide

The truth is right there by your side

This is the way it's supposed to be

A leap of faith for you and me, you and me. 


You know as well as I

It will never be the same with someone else.


You can run but you can't hide

The truth is right there by your side

This is the way it's supposed to be

A leap of faith for you and me, you and me.

The Mighty Bens




I can’t help to cower to the nightly clock
That chimes the hour 
Because I have three! 
And they become of me
Each squeaking their voice o’er the others 
Each trying to vie above a hover 
And I’m deciphering their cover

And their time keep but quite right
They have me at all times of life
Where I’d be, where I might
They hold me in their plight
Of who is me and shall exist
And the promises I made to this
And a pledge of a belonging
I am strong but they know me
As a girl who’s governed by thee
Who’d never asked above it 
And lives by the ole tock and tic  
Plainer and stand to with 
A dominating hand width 

On-point and been the power 
The mighty Bens have the hours

How Did That Go?


I remember not too long ago 
Took my hand, said where do you want to go?
We were young want to, run the age together
Thought the time was on our side forever

(Chorus)
How did that go?
How did that song go? 
We sang it far, we sang it for 
The song had found an end before 
Now how did that go? 

Summer came then fell so far away
All the same when winter came to stay 
I never left to put the dream aside 
You never stayed to make me your bride 

(Chorus)


Father Time then met Mother Nature 
We arrived to find our kind of maker 
And I sighed for that was all to do 
And you cried for what I meant to you 

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
It is done now we hold the grey 
It is fine now I often pray 
Recalling love that summer day 
A fleeting lifetime had flown away 

(Chorus) 
(Repeat and fade out)
