Lyrics
Heavenly Father (listen)
Heavenly Father
Help me I’m drowning today
I can’t get up
I feel like I’m losing my way
I feel like a failure
I feel like a fraud
I’m asking forgiveness
I’m asking you lord
Cos I’m looking for answers
With something to blow me away
To blow me away
Blow me away ….
Heavenly Father
Help me I’m feeling so blue
The lights all went out
I’m cold and relying on you
I lost my ambition
It all went to pot
I tried for a lifetime
I got what I got
Now I’m looking for answers
With something to blow me away … so
Blow me away ay ay……….
Blow me away
Blow me away ay ay……….
Blow me away
If I take the bullet now will I be a winner
If I pull the trigger now will I be a sinner
Cos I never even made absolute beginner so
Blow me away …….
Blow me away …aaay aaay
Blow me away
Blow me away …aaay aaay
Blow me away…
(Piano solo)
Blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Heavenly Father
Help me I’m drowning today
So blow me away

Roses (listen)
Gonna buy me some roses
They remind me of you
Scattered red on the water
On the misty blue
As we sailed on our journey
On a ferry ride
You said ….
How many years will my roses live
And where do they go when they die
We arrived on the main land
Felt like kids skipping school
Caught a train heading north wood
But it got pretty cool
So I wrapped my arms round you
And I kissed you goodnight
And said
How many years will my roses live
And where do they go when they die
How many years will my roses live
Do roses live up in the sky
Read the news in the paper
There’s a picture of you
Said you’d drowned in the water
I already knew
Did you find your red roses
And your reasons why ….. I said
How many years do your roses live
And where do they go when they die
How many years do your roses live
Do roses live up in the sky
Give Me Strength (listen)
Just a young man feeling blue
And your mind’s made up that loving’s not for you
Let a long time slip away
In a dream that seems that loving’s out of date
But I could spend a lifetime with you
If only you’d change
I could spend a lifetime with you
Just a young man feeling down
Couldn’t sleep all night since I heard you’re leaving town
Had a long time feeling blue
Though I tried and I tried there was nothing I could do
But I could spend a lifetime with you
If only you’d change
I could spend a lifetime with you
Ch So give me strength to carry on
To turn and walk away
Take down every photograph
And throw them all away
Give me strength to carry on
Or turn and walk away
Walk away ……
I could spend a lifetime with you
If only you’d change
I could spend a lifetime with you
So give me strength to carry on
To turn and walk away
Take down every photograph
And throw them all away
Give me strength to carry on
To turn and walk away
Take down every photograph
And throw them all away
Give me strength to carry on
Or turn and walk away
Walk away
Walk away
WHAT ABOUT THE RAIN (listen)
It was 6.45
On a lonely Sunday morning
I remember it well
Like it’s only yesterday
There were children playing
When I heard an Angel crying
She said it’s hot outside
But what about the rain
Not a cloud in sight
When I saw a forest dying
And the river’s run dry
And the bird’s have disappeared
And there’s a hole in the sky
And it’s slowly getting wider
Yeah it’s hot outside
But what about the rain …..
What about the rain
And what about the future
What about the pain
Is it any wonder ……. no no
So what about the rain
Had the warning signs
I guess we never took much notice
Now it’s all too late
The fields have turned to grey
And there’s a hole in the sky
And it’s slowly getting wider
I said it’s hot outside
But what about the rain
What about the rain
What about the future
What about the pain
Is it any wonder ……. no no
So what about the future
And what about the pain
Is it any wonder
What about the rain
What about the future
What about the rain
What about the rain
ALL I EVER NEEDED (Listen)
Well there is nothing I can say
To make you change your mind
And there is nothing I can say
You packed your bags this morning
And took the train right out of here
And left me standing here all day
