| 1. CLOUDS AND RAIN | |
| The
time is always now the call is always loud without a movement a word, without a sound love comes crashing in again brings along the clouds and rain You've got to take a chance you haven't got a choice somewhere in the rain you hear a distant voice love has to come to stake its claim it's when you reach the clouds and rain If I close my eyes I can picture you this is the place I get the clearest view beyond the happiness and pain this place they call the clouds and rain First you become a lover then you become a friend and then you start to wonder will it ever end I'd like to ask you just the same without feeling any shame did you touch the clouds and rain I'd like to ask you just the same without feeling any shame did you touch the clouds and rain |

| 3. SHE TOOK MY BREATH AWAY | |
| Alone
in a crowd talking to him but looking at her much too loud I could not think what to say one word in my ear from her lips could lead me astray she took my breath away... Hello what's going on unanswered questions confusing my words which later I stumble upon in a room painted green quite clearly she was not what she seemed but she was what she wanted to be she took my breath away... And now there was no doubt with eyes like a laser that sliced me in two her primitive signals upon me her secret was out well I know it's gonna pass she may be no more than a sigh in the night the rhythm of danger can't dance alone whatever the reason it never was mine I saw I felt my life was going too fast, ah, at last she took my breath away... she took my soul she took my breath away... |
