ALREADY GIVEN
Ask me for promises
Ask me to care
Ask me for honesty
If I say I'll be there I'll be there
Ask me for laughter
Ask me for time
Ask me for the years to come
All that sounds fine
But don't ask me to be in love
Don't ask me to be in love
Don't ask me to be in love
Cus I've already given
Yes I've already given
You know I've already given
Ask about my history
What has happened in these years
Ask me what's shaped my life
All those hopes treacheries and fears
Ask about my feelings the gifts
of love I've received
Ask about losing some
and of feeling so deceived

MY LIFE
This is my life
I'm making my choice
and for the first time
you're hearing my voice
So you really want to know what's on my mind
Believe me when I tell you won't like what you find
Its taken me a while to find the courage to tell
I never thought I would 'cus it scares me to hell
and I couldn't get to sleep not knowing what to do
There's no satisfaction in hurting you
I feel like screaming when I'm looking around
I know what I'm losing to keep what I've found
In my life
by making my choice
and for the first time
you're hearing my voice
And don't think that I haven't thought through
what I'm giving up if I'm giving up you
Don't imagine I don't worry about
the things I'll miss and have to do without
Now don't accuse me one more time
I've been planning my future not plotting a crime
Give me the gift of guilt again
I feel sorrow and I feel pain

SOMEWHERE
Somewhere I knew you'd be waiting
Sometime I knew you'd be there
and someday I knew I'd find you
Some time would be for us to share
and I'd not known what you looked like
and I didn't know your name
Not a clue how I could find you
but I loved you just the same
Didn't know where to reach you
Didn't know where to start
I had no words to give you
but I would give you my heart
I would give you my heart
I would give you my heart
I would give you my heart
I would give you my heart
Now I know what you look like
and now I know your name
But still I can't quite reach you
But I love you just the same
I really really want to know you
But I don't know where to start
and I haven't said a word yet
But there goes my heart
There goes my heart
There goes my heart
There goes my heart

PANTOMIMES
You'll find it hard to understand
how I could lose all I've held in my hand
I've thrown so much away in my time
Like some bad joke in a pantomime
Thrown it thrown it away
Thrown it thrown it away
There has to be a joker in every pack
Deliver your punchlines and don't look back
I couldn't make you laugh today
That's how I know I've thrown it all away
Thrown it all away
That's how I know
I've thrown it away
You gave your time to me
You gave your nights to me
What have I given in return
I will learn
I promise I'll learn my love
Someday I'll learn
I will learn
I can learn

TIDE
Daybreak, it begins
and depending on how we handle it
we sink or we swim
Sunrise, and then the moment is gone
Well that's how it goes and
who only knows what's going on
And when my world disappears without trace
I know I can find it
Reflected in your face
As the tide will always turn
and you're never too late to learn
The tide will always turn
and you're never, ever too late to learn
And on those days when the cracks start to show
I take a good look around and I know
That the tide will always turn
and you're never too late to learn
That tide will always turn
and you're never ever, ever too clever to learn
You make sense of a tide rushing in
Sea on sand and skin on skin
Time and tide bring a brand new start
Let it begin in your heart
Heart to heart

WITH YOU
Just how it started
I don't recall
Quite how we got here
Doesn't matter at all
Made that decision
Long overdue
To be with you
A life together
So many plans
But how life leads us
A merry dance
The unexpected
always coming through
With you
I'm having the time of my life
I'm having the time of my life
With you
With you

TIME CATCHING
Here we are again
Another New Years day
Familiar faces
Our hair a little more grey
and some are missing
Gone from our view
Well that's just time catching
Time catching
Time catching
Me and you
We move from room to room
and we pause at every wall
To gaze at those photographs
with their history of us all
Fading gently
but that's ok - what we see
is only time catching
Time catching
Time is catching
me
catching you and me

THIS WOMANS BLUES
Grandma to Mother
My Mother to me
Years of conditioning
on what a woman's supposed to be
Let me tell you
to start spreading the news
I'm not the first one
to sing this woman's blues
The worlds expectations
of a woman's life
Somebody's Mother
or somebody's wife
They don't tell you
you have a right to choose
You could join me
to sing this woman's blues
Sing it sister
Sing out loud
Sing it sister
sing out proud
Sing it sister
Start spreading the news
that you joined me
to sing this woman's blues
Don't tell me its easy
Don't you tell me its fine
I don't want it easy
but I do want it mine
If its so easy
just walk a mile in these shoes
and say you'll join me
to sing this woman's blues

TIME
These are the days to remember
These are the memories to hold
Summer days that seem to last a lifetime
With never a thought of growing old
What's old?
Do you wonder where the years go
How times that are so distant feel so near
The time you take for granted will disappear
All that time, all that time, will disappear
Reflections in a mirror
of a face without a line
Living with the changes
That face is still mine
and its fine
Time is a precious gift for giving
The one thing that cannot be replaced
and all the time you took for granted
cannot be traced
All that time
All that time
cannot be traced
All that time
Time, this is your time
Time all this time
