Beneath The
Surface Lyrics
Labour Of Love
I'm a man, I know that you've been hurt by one and more
Understand, you have never known a love like this
A love like this before
A love like this before
Promises, I know that they come knockin' at your door
But it's me who stays, true to every word and more than this
I can give you more
I can give you more
Chorus:
You're living on the run, tell me baby, when will it all stop
I'm waiting for the chance I wanna give you, everything I got
Slow down take it easy, all you've got to do is reach out for me
We can work and make it
A labour of love
I'm a man, I know that you've been hurt by one and more
Understand, you have never known a love like this
A love like this before
A love like this before
Chorus
(Reach our for me)
A labour of love
(Reach our for me)
A labour of love
(Reach our for me)
A labour of love
(Reach our for me)
Chorus
Stop think it over, where I'm coming from
I'm not here to fool anybody, please don't get me wrong
Slow down take it easy, all you've got to do is reach out for me
We can work and make it
A labour of love

Beneath The Surface
Here I sit and watch the crowds go by, Papa da papa papa yeah
But there's only one face I can see
If only they would understand, Papa da papa papa yeah
I'd open the door and let him in
Chorus:
How long can I hide, what I'm feeling inside
My love is a river, that's got to make its way into sea
This feeling can't hide, Lord knows I've tried
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
I try, though I know I'm hanging on a string, Papa da papa papa yeah
You're the only one thing on my mind
Keeps floating to a distant shore, Papa da papa papa yeah As I go on denying myself
Chorus…
Oh, keeps turning round in my mind Oh, round and round in my mind
Here I sit and watch the crowds go by Papa da papa papa yeah But there's only one face I can see

A Shade of Blue
A lifetime waiting for the light to shine
Suddenly you were here, like an angel appeared
And the world that I knew changed into a wonderland
Then you called out my name, Looked around and I found you were gone
Like the rays of the sun, disappeared into never ending nights
Where everything real has turned to stone
And the songbird has flown (you`re gone)
Now I know a rose can change a shade of blue
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A shade of blue
My body’s hurting, crying and yearning
Sometimes I feel like I’m loosing my mind
And I think about you, knowing only you could understand
Here alone in my room, I can feel all the walls closing in
Feeling trapped in a shell, wishing that I could spin the wheels of change

Without You
Lying awake in my bed, thinking things you said
Everything that I do, somehow leads me to you
(Closer to your love)
Lift my spirit so high, you're all I need to get by
I've been counting days, forever thinking ways
(To get closer to your love)
This loneliness will end the day you reappear
Living in this world without you here
It's like trying to reach the heavens when I've got no wings to fly
You can make this feeling disappear
Come on over baby, come on over to me
Living in this world without you here
It's like trying to reach the heavens when I've got no wings to fly
You can make this feeling disappear
Come on over baby, come on over to me
You started something in me, stirring constantly
Though we're oceans apart, I build a bridge to your heart
(Closer to your love)
Like a bird on the wire, sing my heart's desire
Caught in something so strong, I really feel I belong
(In the shelter of your love)
This loneliness will end the day you reappear
I just can't keep it in, I've got to let you know
I got so much love to give you, gonna let these feelings show

Misunderstood
Rejection tars the roads where I have been
Still I'm holding on to the same dream
Came through fire and the pouring rain
To be told that I'm the one to blame
Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)
Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)
They're chasing shadows and they'll never know
The truth about us and their fears will grow
Only we know what has not been told
We'll meet in secret in the fields of gold
So now they come to see me cry
Too late now, the well's run dry
I know they think I'm putting chains on you
Let the fools believe, it's what they wanna do
Writer: J-P. Maunick
Hold On To Me
You try to take things easy, but your mind out of control begins to wander
Will there ever come a time, this searching and this waiting will be over
See our love can come and go
But there's something you should know
If you're looking for somebody
Who will always be there for you
Hold on (I'm the one)
If you really need somebody
Who will always take care of you
Hold on (Hold on to me)
I was made to love you and the voices in my heart they keep me knowing
You've got to give me time
All I'm asking is the chance to prove my loving
I got this feeling going on, taking hold of me so strong
I was made to love you, I know that much is true
I was made to love (you)
I got this feeling going on, taking hold of me so strong

Living Against The River
In the early morning light you step into the cold
Your curses freeze mid air, the bus is late
You’ve got to get to work on time, your job is on the line
Soon you’ll start again, the same routine
Deep inside your mind, the dreamers dream you’ll find
As the day is long, it keeps you moving on
Trying to stay ahead as best you can
Sweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourself
(there’s no stoppin’)
(living against the river)
Do what you do what you do
(got to keep pushing)
(when you’re living against the river)
Do what you do what you do
As the light begins to fade and you’re heading back for home
Your head is hanging low, you’re feeling blue
From the corner of your eyes, under neon lights you see
The old man in the snow with worn out shoes
Sweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourself

Fountain Of Life
Chase the sunrise, people come together
Feel the glory of the new day
Feed the feeling, gather friends and strangers
Come together make it stay this way
Looking for the fountain of love
We fell into a cool paradise (he yeah hey yeah)
The rythm of the sand and the sea
Is where we've always wanted to be
I've been looking (looking for the fountain of love)
Searching (fell into the cool paradise)
I've been in search of paradise (the rhythm of the sand and the sea)
Sand and sea (where we've always wanted to be)
Wanted, Always, wanted
Always searching for a new direction
Your heart desires a better state of mind
Mother nature will provide the feeling
In the sunshine, happiness you'll find
We've been holding on. Waiting for this day to come our way
Holding on. We've been holding on
Waiting for the light to shine our way (holding on)
Always waiting. Sayin' (free me, free me, free me)

Out Of The Storm
It's hard to believe, that a year's gone by
Feels like yesterday
Strange as it seems, I knew back then, I'd feel this way today
The road is long, there'll always be wild winds blowing
(One thing you gotta know)
Beyond the clouds there's nothing but blue skies
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Chorus:
Out of the storm, come on in out of the rain
Out of the storm
Out of the storm, come on in out of the rain
Out of the storm
You try to slow down, but you loose control, like a runaway
A voice in your mind, lets you know, this feeling's here to stay
Don't turn around, look straight up ahead, keep movin'
(One thing you gotta know)
Beyond the clouds there's nothing but blue skies
Blue skies
Chorus
Got so much to give you, I got so much to give you
Got so much to give you, I got so much to give you
Baby
The road is long, there'll always be wild winds blowing
(One thing you gotta know)
Beyond the clouds there's nothing but blue skies
Baby
Chorus
Got so much to give you, I got so much to give you
Got so much to give you, I got so much to give you

All That You Want Me To Be
Here you go again looking for the one
When all along before your eyes everything you longed for
What's happening to you?
Can't you see the possibilities?
I could be all that you want me to be
Everything you wish for and more
I could be all that you want me to be
All you ever wanted and more
There you go again back where you began
Telling me that you're confused and undecided
I'll still be here for you
Can't you see the possibilities?
I need a little time to prove my love
(Hey baby, Oooo my love)
I've got to make you see the possibilities of you and me
So real, so real
