If it's not love

(I wont walk a thousand miles for you)
an unfinished rock ballad

If it’s not love I came here for
I’ll leave my heart there on the floor
With all the letters I will not send
I’ll just live and pretend - that I don’t love you
If it’s not love I’m looking for
I’ll lose myself in the night once more
I wont finish this song - I’ll let it fade away
And all the dreams I had - I’ll let them go in vain and I wont...
Walk a thousand miles for you
And all the things I said I’d do
I wont jump from the highest mountain
Steal the stars out of the sky
I wont run across the ocean
To die inside your eyes...

If it’s not love you want from me
Then why don’t you set me free
Unlock the chains of my heart - take this curse out of my mind
Lead me to your Heaven or leave me far behind
If it’s not love I feel for you
Don’t let me do the things I do
Don’t let me finish this song - I’ll let it fade away
And all those midnight promises - I’ll let them go in vain and I wont...
Ever break my heart for you
We’ll never know if this love is true
I wont turn your tears to diamonds
And turn the night to gold
Trade my soul to devil
To make you mine to hold...

I look for your smile

I look for your smile down empty hallways
I listen for your laugh in unlit rooms
Your smile I have drawn on walls and restaurant cloth napkins
But still I am nowhere closer to you

I’ll never have so much money that it will buy me glory
I’ll never have so much fame that all the world would know my name
But if it would make you happy to dance in a palace ballroom,
surrounded by kings and queens
I’ll steal my fortune and borrow someone else’s fame

If fifteen minutes is all it takes to make our mark on time
I’ll give you thirty with the fifteen that were mine
And when I am forgotten and no one remembers who I was
Would you try to save the me I left behind in words

Do you believe in true love?

Do you believe in true love
Is it worth waiting for
Have you ever had love
And still wanted more
I never thought that I could
Feel this way again
I don’t think I can hide it
I don’t think I can pretend
But had I known the words I write
Would ever reach your soul
I would have waited
To see this book unfold

Do you believe in Heaven
And salvation for us all
I’m glad that it was you
Who helped me break the fall
Don’t know if I’ll ever tell you
I don’t know if I should
And if I ever found the words
I don’t know if I could

Do you believe in Karma
Do you believe in fate
Can you find the one you need
After it’s too late
Is there a way of knowing
The things I feel are true
Is there a way of knowing
It’s really all for you

Do you believe in magic
And wishing on a star
I have always wondered
Where and who you are
And all the words I squandered
In the twilight blue
Are best left forgotten
I’ve saved better ones for you

Do you believe in true love
Does it just happen one time
I’ll forsake the ghost I cling to
Just to make you mine
And though I am frightened
to give myself to you
I’m ready for the heart ache
That you’ll put me through
I’m willing to give you
All I’ve got left to give
If you keep the fire inside me burning
That I need to live

Do you believe in true love
Do you believe in me
Do you think I could be
The only one you need
Because my heart beats in strange rhythms
When I’m close to you
And the words I thought I’d never say again
Have turn my dreams to gold from blue
And if I never get to tell you
What’s so hard for me to show
you have given me more
Than you’ll ever know

...Do you believe in true love...

How do you do it?

I don’t want to write another love song
About you so far away
I don’t want to put my life in these lines
And my broken heart on display
Because I don’t have your eyes to look at me
I don’t have your smile to keep me strong
I don’t have the courage and the strength I need
For me to carry on

I wish I could jump on that train
Passing through the night
Tomorrow I’d be in another place
With another life
Because I don’t have your arms to hold me
When my world is upside down
And I don’t have your light to guide me
When an angel can’t be found

You must be a diamond...

You shine brighter than the stars at night
Like the glow from an angels eye...
Your laugh is stronger than a lions roar
Your presence felt like a thunder storm...
You must be a diamond

You’ve got the world under your spell
Clinging to every word and the stories you tell
Somehow you knew I was watching everything you do
And you turn to tell me...
I must be a diamond too

You shine brighter than the moon at night
Soaring higher than an eagle in flight...
Your words move mountains, your will could bend steal
You unfold desire and dreams become real...
You must be a diamond

You hold the dreams of the world in your hand
Some kind of magic I want to understand
Somehow you knew I want to be just like you
And you turn to tell me...
I was born to be a diamond too

When a vampire falls in love

How many hearts have you broken
How many tears have you caused tonight
How many dreams have you stolen
As you were running from the light
How many whispers have you silenced
With the look of fire in your eyes
How many shadows have you danced with
In a masquerade of lies
Do you believe angels fall from Heaven
Do you believe the devil can be kind
Do you believe a curse can be broken
Then a vampire can fall in love

Can you hear the heart of the moon beating
Over the thundering echo of the stars
Is the center of your soul still bleeding
Are you still trying to hide your scars
How many oceans of time have you crossed
Looking for a place to hide
How can you run for ever
If true love never dies
Sometimes an angel falls from Heaven
Sometimes the devil can be kind
Sometimes a gypsies curse is broken
And a vampire falls in love

Do you remember the promise that you made her
And a vow that will always last
But even the night doesn’t last for ever
And you're lost between tomorrow and the past
You cannot escape what you shared with each other
So do not regret your dreams not coming true
If you should ever find a new lover
You just might be saved too
Because even an angel falls from Heaven
Even the devil can be kind
Even the darkest curse is broken
When a vampire falls in love...
