Portballintrae
The wind whispers tales near Portballintrae
Rocky beaches, the shores that are pounded by the sea
A Giant walked on hexagons that’s what the locals say
The test ahead, a bridge of rope for me
A Ship whipped by a gale towards Spanish Rocks
Lacada Point, thirteen hundred souls seized by the waves
Two hundred sixty on the twenty sixth together forever
To the castle the nine were spared their graves
(Hazel)
The Girona which was a Neapolitan galley was really more
suited for Mediterranean waters rather than the North Atlantic...
Well, she hit the reef at Lacada Point and sank!
The very few survivors, there were about thirteen hundred aboard
Maybe eight or nine survived.
Past lives or in my blood who can really say?
Feelings resound within my bones
Memories from another day?
Portballintrae!
I’ve been here before in Portballintrae
In another life I lived on this land by the sea
And now with the sun going down in Portballintrae
I lift a glass and toast a former me
I lift a glass and toast a former me (me me me)

We Belong Together
(Man)
As the suns slipped by
I didn’t hear your cries
I can’t imagine why
I didn’t see it
(Woman)
As the moons moved past
I thought we would last
(Both)
It happened so fast
I didn’t see it
(Man)
Was the sun in my eyes
Blinding me to our cloudy skies?
I finally asked myself why
I didn’t see it
(Woman)
As I look back
I should have taken up the slack
(Both)
Doesn’t change the fact
I didn’t see it
(Man)
Now It’s hard to admit
I didn’t help us one bit
You tried to make us fit
I didn’t see it
(Woman)
Now I’d like to say to you
My heart is black and blue
(Both)
I didn’t want us to be through
(Man)
I see where I was wrong
(Woman)
But I know we belong
(Both)
I know that we belong together (together)
(Man)
You have the one thing I lack
The power to take me back
(Both)
The power to give us back forever oh oo oh
Can you see that?
Orchestra solo
(Man)
Finally you took my call
To bring us back from this fall
I promise to give my all
Can you see that?
(Both)
I didn’t know if I should
Have hope that you would
But in the end we could
See that
(Both)
We belong together.

Meant To Be
Stormy night
Scarlet dawn
Dew drops sparkle in the morning light
Arabian Prince
A Majestic knight
He rides into your heart and you wonder
Is it meant to be?
Life holds many mysteries
Surprises appear like wind through the trees
And my thoughts are filled by you
Can’t help myself... it’s what you made me do
It’s what you made me do
I wonder is it all meant to be?
Without any warning you appeared in my life
Without any warning of wrong or right
Without any warning love came to me
Without any warning this love was meant to be
I know you're not mine
Hopeful heart, the answer lies in time
I know I shouldn’t fall in love with you
I can’t help myself... it’s what you made me do
It’s what you made me do
I wonder is it all meant to be?
Without any warning you appeared in my life
Without any warning of wrong or right
Without any warning love came to me
Without any warning this love...
Without any warning you appeared in my life
Without any warning of wrong or right
Without any warning love came to me
Without any warning this love was meant to be
This was meant to be

Phoenix
Sometimes I look back to where it all began
Sitting there smiling at me
I rose right up from low down on the ground
I saw us flying high like a Phoenix in the sky
I can remember not getting out of bed
Loving day into the night
We found the magic that was dreamed and searched for
We gave a shout out to the Phoenix flying high
Bare wires, no place to hide
Feelings that hypnotize
Especially when we kiss
The world becomes just us
Somedays are harder, trust it will be there
Going through demands of the day
Can make you feel like we’re wasting our time
If not together with the Phoenix flying high
Bare wires, no place to hide
Feelings that hypnotize
Especially when we kiss
The world becomes just us
Sometimes I wonder if it all could end
By inviting ghosts into the room,
We keep from crashing down into the ground
And keep on soaring high with the Phoenix in the sky
Bare wires, no place to hide
Feelings that hypnotize
Especially when we kiss
The world becomes just us
Bare wires, no place to hide
Feelings that hypnotize
Especially when we kiss
The world becomes just us
Two become just one
Shining in the Sun
Flying with our love
Rising from the dust
Soaring up so high
A Phoenix in the sky
