I WANT TO KNOW WHY
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar,  vocals, drum machine - sharon
acoustic guitar - pete
keyboard - marty
i want to know why the moon is still rising
i want to know why the sun won't fall from the sky
i want to know why the stars won't shoot through space tonite
i want to know why
a little part of me dies each time i see your face, hear your voice, feel your desire
a little part of me dies eternally and i only breathe to feed your fire
i want to know where the pain in your heart lies
i want to know where the truth is between your lies
i want to feel your passion burn inside as your touch ignites my mind
a little part of me dies each time i see your face, hear your voice, feel your desire
a little part of me dies eternally and i only breathe to feed your fire
these little games we play
make me want you make me stay make me want you more each day, each day
these little games we play have no rules or so you say
look the other way while i run away, while i run away
a little part of me dies each time i see your face, hear your voice, feel your desire
a little part of me dies eternally and i only breathe to feed your fire
i want to know when we will touch again
i want to when i'll see you breathing in and out
i want to know when you'll ask me to take you in
i want to know when
a little part of me dies each time i see your face, hear your voice, feel your desire
a little part of me dies eternally and i only breathe to feed your fire
these little games we play
make me want you make me stay make me want you more each day, each day
these little games we play have no rules or so you say
look the other way while i run away, while i run away
these little games we play
make me want you love me stay make me love you more each day, each day
these little games we play have no rules or so you say so
look the other way while i run away, while i run away, while i run away

SABLE
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
keyboard - marty
i could just lie right here by your side
tell you things like it don't matter if the world's not flat
or i could just hide away, i could just hide away
i could just hide away in the depth of those sable eyes
i could just sleep in your arms and dream of what keeps you with me
conceive of things that will come to be
or i could ride on your wings, i could ride on your wings
i could ride on your wings through starlight and moonbeams
i could wake every morning and feel the strength of your following
just like a hangover after too many libations
you are the calmness that remains, you are the calmness that remains
you are the calmness that remains in the center of the hurricane
i turned and felt you lying by my side
you were a vision, a vision of beauty in that dimly lit night
you looked so very peaceful lying there, so peaceful so full of grace
i felt forever was there in the center of your embrace
but i was afraid, i was so afraid to say it, afraid you didn't feel the same way
but then you turned around looked at me you said together we will find our way
i could just lie right here by your side
conjure up a fancy goodbye tell you my faults true and tried
wait as we decide, wait as we decide
wait as we decide, in the depth of those sable eyes
in the depth of those sable eyes
in the depth of those sable eyes

LOVE SONG 4 U
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
once i felt so alone, but then you were here
once there was such despair, but your smile washed away my tears
you were here to lead me all the way home
you were here, you freed me and now i am so in love
yes there were mistakes we made and there were more than just a few
no matter what fell apart, wore down or blew up
nothing contradicted my love for you
you were here and you held me in your arms
you were here and showed the sun's shine where the rain once was
well i think i'll stay a little while, maybe just until i die
and you know if i had my say that day would never come our way
you were here to lead me all the way home
you were here, you freed me and now i am so in love
you, you were here in my heart
you were here we will never part
you are my lover and my friend
now you are here we will never end

SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
electric guitar - pete
something's wrong here i feel it every day
although i try i can't find a remedy  for the pain you caused me
you can keep what's yours you took all that was mine
i have nothing left now you shouldn't be surprised
something's wrong here i feel it every day
although i try i can't find a remedy for the pain you caused me
you were the one you were the only one
and you left me standing all alone
i was taken in by all your sweet displays
one game after another every single day
and then i fell so hard i really can't recall
if you ever told the truth even once, after all
something's wrong here i feel it every day
although i try i can't find a remedy for the pain you caused me
it's such a shame to waste these feelings that you've given me
but every day my heart is hollow my heart is empty
something's wrong here i feel it every day
although i try i can't find a remedy for the pain you caused me
something's wrong here i feel it every day
although i try i can't find a remedy for the pain you caused me
although i try i can't find, i can't find, i can't find a remedy for the pain you caused me

AIN'T NO TIME
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar, vocals & drum machine - sharon
keyboard - marty
this ain't no time to be feeling low down and repressed
there ain't no room here for another mess
they ain't gonna be there to pick you up when you have fallen
they ain't gonna be wishing you luck when you are on the ground and crawling
they ain't gonna be your family, your lover or even your friend
and they ain't gonna be hanging around in the end
when your head is in your hands
this ain't no time to be thinking you are better than the rest
this ain't no time to be thinking you can pass that test
cause they'll be there to shoot that thing straight through your head
they ain't gonna be there to clean up the mess when its all been spilt
they ain't gonna bail your ass outta that nasty little place
and they ain't gonna be whispering sweet little nothings in your face
this ain't no time to be thinking you will be the one to survive
this ain't no time to be thinking living that life means that you are alive
cause they ain't gonna be there in the end when you are cold and dead
they ain't gonna be a saving grace of forgiveness at your wake
they ain't gonna bring roses to mark your grave very holiday
and they ain't gonna cry every time they remember that you have gone away
this ain't no time to be feeling all alone
you're not alone and deep inside you know it
this ain't no time to be feeling lost with no hope
you can always come home, you can always come home
cause they ain't gonna be there in the end when you are cold and dead
they ain't gonna be a saving grace of forgiveness at your wake
they ain't bring roses to mark your grave very holiday
and they ain't gonna cry every time they remember that you have gone away
they ain't gonna be there to pick you up when you have fallen
they ain't gonna be wishing you luck when you are on the ground and crawling
they ain't gonna be your family, your lover or even your friend
and they ain't gonna be hanging around in the end
when your head is in your hands

NEVER
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
acoustic guitar & dobro - pete
keyboard - marty
when i heard your lies i already knew
all the time i'd wasted with  you
when i left that day i really cried
never dreamed i'd find the strength to say goodbye
never going back again, never gonna turn to you
you'll never hear me say i love you
in my eyes you were a man that i loved to leave behind
in my eyes you were the man who i loved saying goodbye to
i'll see you on some other day
when i am  stronger than you remember me
when i see you on the street
i'll just walk the other way
never going back again, never gonna turn to you
you'll never hear me say i love you
in my eyes you were a man that i loved to leave behind
in my eyes you were the man who i loved saying goodbye to
never going back again, never gonna turn to you
you'll never hear me say i love you

BELIEVE IN DREAMS
(Allitt/Wilson)
vocals - sharon
keyboard - marty
hold tight the road ahead is a bit rough
its so easy to lose control
once the dream comes to light
we will see we can create
the best or the worst of times
dream, dream
the mountain is high too high to climb
these hands will pull you up
once the dream comes to light
we will see we can create
the best or the worst of times
believe, believe
sometimes we all give up
for just a little while
give to someone who needs
care for someone
be the voice of love and
show the way to succeed
the way to succeed
the way to believe
try to believe in your dreams
alive in our minds is a love that
can create anything we dream
alive in our hearts are the dreams
from where it all starts
it's a chance we have to take
it's a chance we have to take
it's a chance we have to make
believe in dreams

SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
keyboard - marty
i looked into your eyes, i saw oceans of blue
meaning for me, meaning for you
that day seems so far away
something happened i don't know what to say
sometimes it's easier to say goodbye
rather than stay and watch a love slowly die
i thought we'd go on and on
but something's end all on their own
tell me what do you see when you look at me
Ii it the same or is your heart empty today
love is so cruel sometimes it makes you feel like saying
sometimes it's easier to say goodbye
rather than stay and watch a love slowly die
i thought we'd go on and on
but something's end all on their own
i cannot feel it when we touch that fiery spark that once was
how could we forget that flaming urge to connect
love likes it games, plays us like fools until we say
sometimes it's easier to say goodbye
rather than stay and watch a love slowly die
i thought we'd go on and on
but something's end all on their own
sometimes it's easier to say goodbye
rather than stay and fight for the love of your life
i thought we'd go on and on
but something's end all on their own

WHITE DRESS
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
acoustic guitar - pete
grudges don't leave easily no matter what you do
forgiveness don't come easily they are far between and few
i think you were lying when you told me i was all you ever knew
i believe you were lying when you told me i'd wear that white dress with you
well, you knew the hurt that it would bring and still you followed through
i only wish that you could imagine how much i wish you could feel this too
i think you were lying when you told me i was all you ever knew
i believe you were lying when you told me i'd wear that white dress with you
now that day has finally arrived and i know just what i'll do
i'll leave you standing at that altar like you haven't got a clue
i think you were lying when you told me i was all you ever knew
i believe you were lying when you told me i'd wear that white dress with you
grudges don't leave easily sometimes they never do
forgiveness, it don't come easily not between me and you
i think you were lying when you told me i was all you ever knew
i believe you were lying when you told me i'd wear that white dress with you
i think you were lying when you told me i was all you ever knew
i believe you were lying when you told me i'd wear that white dress with you

BEND
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar, vocals & drum machine - sharon
fool rushed in to save my wounded soul
play creator then leave me when you're through
don't i deserve the benefit of the doubt
that those days are behind me now
bend me, break me, mold me, make me
treasure my mind love my body too
i could be anything you want me too
but your mirror is cracked and your mind is black
remember if you hate in haste all the love you'll waste
bend me, break me, mold me, make me
into what you deplore, or
you can bend me, break me, mold me, make me
into something more
why can't you ever say you did well
why can't you accept who i am
why do i always try so hard
if in your eyes i always fail
bend me, break me, mold me, make me
into what you deplore, or
you can bend me, break me, mold me, make me
into something more

INDEPENDENT THOUGHT
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
you say come down halfway and you'll come up
you say you never wanted us perfect just flawless enough
flawless like the blue sky that rains while the sun is shining
you say come down halfway and you'll come up
but you can't we stop playing games til you see which one of us gets broke
it's not that i think you're the only culprit
i'm just not up to praying at your pulpit
i don't think you are the mastermind of all the world's problems
you don't have that kind of power anyway but you do feed on it you do
and now there are only a few who can stand up to you
well you will have to excuse me if for just a little while
i believed everything i read, heard, learned and was taught
but now that i am older and i am more aware i feel the need to tell you
i have regained my independent thought
you say come down halfway and you'll come up
i have to tell you the middle of the road explodes into purgatory
now with our hands tied it's awfully hard to make your way through the barb wire
of all your words once spoken and broken into a lot of crooked lines
and yes a lot of stupid rhymes and oh, a lot of wasted time
and then you say that you were only joking, oh you were only joking
yeah you were only joking, but to tell you the truth i didn't get the joke
you say come down halfway and you'll come up
we never bargained for flawless just perfect enough

BUDDHA
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
acoustic guitar - pete
background vocals - linda
something has led me here today
maybe i'm searching for a truer meaning
maybe i'm looking for a little light shining
a little buddha meant that a little peace
and a little love go a long long way
you never know what you can save
without some attempt being made
if you'd only open up you would find a way
a little buddha meant that a little peace
and a little happiness go a long long way
then i swore i heard them say  the truth is found in the way
the lotus blooms with the promise of the coming day
a little buddha meant that a little peace
and a little faith go a long long way
a little buddha meant that a little peace
and a little faith go a long long way

GO NOW
(Allitt)
acoustic guitar & vocals - sharon
keyboard - marty
go now, go now
you said it's time for you to go
you won't be able to stay
because your future is too far away
well now, that's no surprise
i saw this coming for some time
colder than a winter day
you left me standing in the rain
first you trade me off for somebody new
and when she's not what you thought she would be
you may want to turn around
well think it over cause i'll turn you down
go now, go now
don't hesitate another day
i know this sounds so strange
i really don't want you to go away
well now, that's no surprise
i'll survive, i can decide
no use crying wasted tears
and there is no use reliving those years
first you trade me off for somebody new
and when she's not what you thought she would be
while you may want to turn around
well think it over, cause i'll turn you down
go now, go now
don't dilly dally just go now
don't return to say that you're sorry
don't try to say that you hurt as much as me
cause i'll be fine and you'll be fine
come tomorrow morning
I will wakeand the sun will rise
while the moon is falling
first you trade me off for a somebody new
and when she's not what you thought she would be
while you may want to turn around
well think it over cause i'll turn you down, i'll turn you down
i'll turn you so far down

independent thought
remember: buying rather than duping supports independent musicians. no animals were harmed during the enlightened portion of this life. be animal friendly, earth friendly and people friendly. perform random acts of patience. be organic in mind and body. peace breeds peace. be aware of wrongdoings and do something to change them. be active be an activist. volunteer your love. if you didn't vote you can't and shouldn't complain. remember what they taught you in 1st grade. do good deeds. be honest. don't pull the legs of daddy long legged spiders. put the egg back in the nest. leave the light on the firefly that's how he sees at night. besides, how would you like someone picking something off of you? try talking it helps. harm no one. help everyone. be prepared.
be unique. be you.
thanks for listening.
