Chorus:
Girl, I'm here . . . I'm the one
Your heart needs to hold you  
Your heart needs to hold you    

You have got your demons and your share of dragons, 
Who can slay them, who can help you sleep?
There are pills and potions, Freud's exotic notions
Crack cures - honey, none of them come cheap
And as for knight's in armour
We know they don't exist
God knows I've spent a lifetime
Trying to enlist

Girl, I'm here . . . I'm the one
Your heart needs to hold you    
Your heart needs to hold you    

Love seems to disturb you, love can never hurt you
What's the sense in keeping it at bay?
Love can cope with demons, love can cope with dragons,
Love's adept at driving them away
I've felt the air around you
It triggers fire alarms
I'll risk my fingers burning
To hold you in my arms

Chorus

Instrumental  

Chorus until fade

The first time I saw you I realised at once
You were an angel in torment how could I desert you?
I vowed in that moment that nothing in this world or any other
Would ever threaten or hurt you

Chorus:
Dragons rage outside your door
I'm on my way to save you
Demons wage unholy war
I'm on my way to save you          

The forces of darkness may mobilise one hundred million 
Demons, an army to keep you far from me
Determined to stop me, they'll spend eternity regretting 
they ever crossed me - they'll suffer, believe me

I had lived in Neville´s Cross
But it´s not famous to me
That´s the opening line
Of an ancient song of mine
We had great fun trying to play it
Every other Wednesday

No-one had seen
Such a greatest hits machine
All come through the milos
I threw away old verses we would play
Those words were too wild for us
But I still love the chorus

Chorus:

It always rain in Durham County
Your ears are raw and your hair is wet
But don´t you worry in Durham County
What you´re really feeling you will soon forget

We won´t be told that the past was pure gold
We were there and it wasn´t
Once in a while
I´d slip back and smile
To the days when buses brought us
To the home of Ansa Motors

(Chorus)
It always rain in Durham County
Though moments of laughter sometimes intervene
The days are complex in Durham County
Or they are simple or in between

Yeah Yeah Yeah

There was a princess who one day waved a wand
I gained the palace, lost the pond
Right now she´s thinking about
The ways things were
Now i´m not mysterious to her

Chorus:
Never trust a spell
Don´t rely on magical any wishing well
To take away your problems
After everything
The princess loved the frog more before he was a king
Abracadabra

This is no fairy tale
I learnt go weep
This craft is happening to me

(Chorus 2 times)

N-E-V-E-R-T-R-U-S-T-A-S-P-E-L-L
N-E-V-E-R-T-R-U-S-T-A-S-P-E-L-L
No no no no no no no no no
No no

After everything
The princess loved the frog more before he was a king
Abracadabra

(Coro)

N-E-V-E-R-T-R-U-S-T-A-S-P-E-L-L
N-E-V-E-R-T-R-U-S-T-A-S-P-E-L-L

There was a princess who one day waved a wand
I gained the palace, lost the pond
There was a princess who one day waved a wand
I gained the palace, lost the pond

(Chorus 2 times)

No no no no no no no no no
No no

After everything
The princess loved the frog more before he was a king
Abracadabra

In bed beside you with the curtains drawn
For an hour at least I can pretend we're born
To be together and fate alone is keeping me from you
But there's a price we pay when we live a lie
And you find it hard to meet my eye
When you start to dress as we kiss goodbye
And I know we're coming to

The end of the affair
The end of the affair
I could love you for eternity
The fact remains you don't belong to me
(The end of the affair)

I could tell the story of my love for you
With a detailed list of every rendez-vous
Discreet hotels we've checked into
How and when and where
But a cold recital of the facts we've miss
The poetry the way you kiss
The sense of loss now as come to this
A bitter sweet despair

The end of the affair
The end of the affair
I could love you for eternity
But the fact remains you don't belong to me
(The end of the affair)

Well I'm old enough to know right from wrong
So I tell myself I should be strong
With time I'll learn to get along
Without you being near
But I know what I'm living
When I'm by your side
You're rollercoaster, a fairground ride
My conscience and desires collide
Like rockets in the air

The end of the affair
The end of the affair
I could love you till the stars don't shine
But I'm not yours and you're not mine
(The end of the affair)

It's over, it's over, it's over

The end of the affair
The end of the affair
I could love you for eternity
The fact remains you don't belong to me
(The end of the affair)

The first few days are gonna drag real slow
I'm gonna think I see you everywhere I go
These are routine symptoms ex-lovers show
The battle scars they share
I'll I already miss your worried smile
Guilty secrets weren't your style
But you had me fooled for a little while
That makes it hard to bear

(The end of the affair)
The end of the affair
Now I could love you till the stars don't shine
But I'm not yours and you're not mine
(The end of the affair)
It's over, (It's over), It's over.

Every day he packs the bag
Every day he settles up
Every day he waves goodbye
Everyday he follows out

I've been made the guest who stayed forever (x3)
(guitar solo)
I've been made the guest who stayed forever
(forever, forever)
(forever, forever)
I've been made the guest who stayed forever (x4)
(forever, forever)
(guitar solo)

They call her Talking Tornado
She sweeps through your head as you sleep
You think that the damage is minor
But the future ends up looking bleak

She comes like a change in the weather
You don't really need it at all
You say that you're totally indifferent
But deep down you're glad that she called

I've an old wheelbarrow of accidents
Symphonies tipped on her tongue
I'm lying them out but they're bleaker that breath
But one time they made me feel young

She's a real bobby dazzler
As far as that goes
She's an enigma that grows

Slow down your heart and forget the time
Close your door and open mine
Clench your fists as the blizzard grows
I want to, I want to, I want to

But I won't call you Tornado

The man in the moon is not smiling
I don't really blame him for that
It may be a big step for mankind
But it's just another crease in his hat

She comes like a change in the weather
Like old friends who've long since lost touch
You say that it really can't matter
But the truth is it matters too much

One is the axle while two is the wheel
See this wagon is real

Slow down your heart and forget the time
Close your door and open mine
Clench your fists as the blizzard grows
I want to, I want to, I want to

Sit right back in your rocking chair
Things you said are everywhere
Words music and everything
I want to, I want to, I want to

But I won't call you Tornado
Call you Tornado
I won't call you Tornado

She happened to be walking 
The same street as you.
Gaze, but there's no touching
In case you soil the perfect view.
Your life has been so empty
But there's no telling who you'll meet,

Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on

Amber lights emprint themselves
In your soul and in your brain.
That smokey blue transfusion
Will keep you warm beneath the rain

Your life has been so empty 
But there's no telling who you'll meet,
One glimpse of heaven
And she's walking past your street,

Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on

Winter takes a while to pass
But soon it will be May,
Sun embraces colour
There's the sweet scent of hay.
You know I need your warm blue eyes
To guide me through this night
And in the morning
You're as certain as the light.
No more excuses - nothing left to say -

Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on
Walk on, Stroll on
