Touch 02:41
I just need someone to rely on I just need somebody who's there I just need someone to rely on I need somebody who cares I just need somebody to love And if there's someone you've your eye on Could you show them that you dare If there's someone you've your eye on Could you show them that you care That they could be the ones to love And I know that now's the time to reach out Now's the time to sing, the time to shout And you will find somebody you can touch You will find, oh you will find Somebody that you love, to love You need someone to rely on You need somebody who's there You need someone to rely on And I promise that I care We could be the ones to love

Thursdays at twilight I go down to the docks Thursdays at twilight at 8 o'clock The streets are empty, but I can hear you shout Your hands together, your voices calling out And I'm happy to be here And I'm happy to hear you And I'm happy to be here And I'm happy to hear you I cannot see you, I cannot hold you close I cannot feel you, for you are too remote The times are troubled, but there's joy in my heart We are together, though we are apart And I'm happy to be here And I'm happy to hear you And I'm happy to be here And I'm happy to hear you Thursdays at twilight I go down to the docks Thursdays at twilight at 8 o'clock I cannot see you, but I'll join you to shout Our hands together, our voices calling out That we're happy to be here And we're happy to hear you And we're happy to be here And we're happy to hear you

All of You 04:11
Some of these days I feel so lazy The time goes by a little hazy It seems like there is, something going around I wake up late the streets are quiet Empty trains, I can’t deny it I am spending a lot of time on my own I don’t know when this will all blow over And I don’t know if I’ll have much to show for it All I only know is that I’m going to want to see you I don’t know if the grass is greener And I don’t know if the air will be cleaner All I know is that I will want to see you Some of these days I wake up smiling I have to say I can’t deny that I am Getting down to, all the things I want to do (yes it’s true) I’ve got hope, and I’ve got sunshine I’ve got the skills, and I’ve got the time The only thing that I am missing is you (only you) The days feel short though they’re getting longer and I might be weak but I’m getting stronger Every day it is one day closer to you (all of you) I don’t know when this will all blow over I don’t know if we’ll have much to show for it But at the end of it, I would like to see you (all of you) So keep your head above the parapet Don’t let yourself be too depressed for There are still things you can do So watch the clouds or watch the world go by Promise me you’ll keep your powder dry For we will have our times when this is through (what we'll do!) The days are long but they’re going faster and And I might be wrong about this whole disaster but I’m just happy that, that I know I’ll see you (all of you) And I don’t know when this will all blow over And I don’t care if we’ll have much to show for it I only care that I am going to see you (all of you)

River 06:31
I don't write love songs I don't read books Don't watch those films with those sideways looks I don't need stories This much is true My life is different Without you But I have the sun by my side And I have the rain I have the river rushing by To call me on again I don't need others Only myself I don't need guidance I don't need help I'll go my own way Along the road I don't need you, dear To lighten my load For I have the sun by my side And I have the rain I have the river rushing by To call me on again

Timing 03:27
It's a question of timing Just a matter of hours on the clock You don't need the reminding But what you've started, it will never stop Never stop You're losing your battles And you're worried that you'll lose the war But I promise you that'll Just remind what you're fighting for Never stop Keep on going on Keep on holding strong Keep on holding on It's a question of timing Just a matter of hours in the day And there's this silver lining: All the ill-winds will only fan your flame Never stop

The Tide 03:25
I'm just a collection of parts Joined my head and led by my heart Gathered by the force of the world Kept together in this body of a girl And I, well I guess that you tried Every little piece is cut and it's dried And I, well I can't stem the tide We're joined together by the outside Joined together by the inside And I'm just a collection of life Joined by joy, and joined by strife Fighting for my place in the world Kept together by the force of the absurd And I, well I know that you tried Every little piece is cut and it's dried And I, well I can't stem the tide We're joined together by the outside Joined together by the inside You, just a collection of thoughts All of the pieces that you have caught Take yourself out of the mould Into the light and out of the cold I, well I know that we tried Every little piece is cut and dried No, no-one can stem the tide We're joined together by the outside Joined together by the inside Joined together on the inside
