SONG LYRICS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE TRAIL OF LIGHT AND DARK 05:11
(Susan Toney)

You come back here again so selfishly
For the last piece of my heart
And I so foolishly and carelessly take part
I watch my hope die and my soul cry
Well how much do you need
Then I remember your photographs
You like to watch them bleed

Chorus
Baby the trail of light and dark you see
Itâs just the trace of life and death you leave
Baby the trail of light and dark you see
Itâs just the trace of life and death you leave

Ooh hoo

Youâve got a four by four box staring straight at me
But no matter how fast you pull that shutter
Your lens will never capture me
Because youâll try to slip by
As soon as I believe
I still remember the way you laughed
When I was on my knees

Chorus

Ooh ho oh ho ho
Now you want to come back to me
But these eyes of mine can see

(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Ooh hoo oh ho ho ooh hoo oh ho ho
Ooh ho ho ho ooh hoo ah ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

MISSING ME 04:39
(Susan Toney)

Deep inside this green box
Where all the secrets hide
My heart and soul are strong and whole
From all the tears Iâve cried
Iâm letting go of worry
Surrendering my fear
Releasing everything
Trapped inside of here

Chorus
So hereâs your lonely Hereâs your empty
You wonât find me I will be gone before you know
Youâre missing me Missing me
Youâre missing me Missing me

You gave me some money
To help me live my life
But you expected silence
That I just kindly not remind you
To say it never happened
My pain some made up thing
Some strange hallucination
I invented to be mean

Chorus

The truth is sometimes costly
But itâs always worth the price
In the long run itâs much cheaper
Than all the secrets and all the lies
Now I must go my own way
Itâs long been overdue
I found the key to all the locks
That shackle me to you

So hereâs your lonely And hereâs your empty
You wonât find me I will be gone before you know
Hereâs your lonely Hereâs your empty
You wonât find me I will be gone before you know

Youâre missing me Youâre missing me
Youâre missing me Uâm missing me
Are you missing me Are you missing me
Missing me Uâm missing me
Are you missing me Missing me
Uâm missing me Are you missing me

LOVE IS THE CURE 03:58
(Susan Toney)

Iâve seen your best work
You must be proud
You took your best shot
To take me down
But youâre just here on borrowed time
You pretend to be a good friend of mine
Crooked smile twisted rhyme
Victory is mine

Chorus
And I donât know why I feel afraid
Your love will get me through
The darkest nights you shine your light
If fear is the pain
Love is the cure

You like to sneak up
Without a sound
I picked your face out
Amongst the crowds
Youâre just here on borrowed time
So donât pretend to be a good friend of mine
Crooked smile twisted rhyme
Victory is mine

Chorus

If fear ooh if fear is the pain
Love is the cure
I donât know why I feel afraid
Your love will get me through
The darkest nights you shine your light
If fear ooh if fear yea is the pain
Love is the cure Love is the cure

FIX THIS BROKEN HEART (FALLS APART) 03:48
(Susan Toney)

Can you fix this broken heart
Itâs been broken from the start
Surely it was meant for love
What were they thinking of

Chorus
âCause I hear birds sing and I love moonlight
I Feel sentimental in that soft light
And I feel so fine most of the time
Except when it comes to this heart
Thatâs where it all falls apart

Kind of worried Iâm kind of scared
I kind of wish that you were here
All the answers are deep inside
Why do they have to hide

Chorus
Huh ho ha ha ha ha ha ha
Can you fix this broken heart
Can you fix this broken heart
Itâs been broken from the start
Surely it was meant for love
What were they thinking of

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Can you fix this broken heart

ANGELINA 03:30
(Susan Toney)

Thereâs a girl walking the night
Standing under the light
And they call her Angelina
Nothing to hide letting it show
She un-buttons her long brown overcoat
After the men have come to see her

Chorus
Hey now Angelina
Angelina
Angelina

Donât be fooled sheâs not who she seems
A bright flame burns beneath
The skin and the eyes of Angelina
Though itâs gone dim many a time
Inside a fragile broken heart cries
As her soul waits to claim her freedom

(Repeat Chorus )

Do di di itân duh Di diân di di duh
Di diân it duh di Diân di di diân dâit di duh

As I watch Iâm wanting to know
Where else she could go
And pray that her fate is her redeemer
When I was young he said it was love
Itâs only by grace I didnât get shoved
Back to the rooms where secretâs linger

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

HOW CAN I REACH YOU 04:33
(Susan Toney & Jane Getz)

How long ago did you stop listening
âCause you donât hear a word I say
Seems like miles and miles between us
When did you go away

You say itâs hard to trust somebody
âCause you donât even trust yourself
Got the cards all stacked against me honey
You push away the one who tries to help

Chorus
How can I reach you
Where have you gone to
How can I get through
Where do I start
Ooh baby I miss you
What can I do
To find a way back into
Into your heart

Canât you see my lips are moving
My feet are walking toward the door
My voice echoâs in the hallway
But you donât hear it anymore

You donât know my heart is breaking
Youâre so wrapped up in yourself
I am yours just for the taking
Do you want somebody else

Chorus

Let me in let it be
Let it live let it breathe

How long has it been since you touched me
You turn your back when I turn off the light
But there is someone who loves me
And He will hear my prayer tonight

Chorus

Find a way Find a way Find a way back into your heart

WHEN THE STORM COMES 02:58
(Susan Toney & Jane Getz)
When the storm comes

I will be ready
Ready as Iâll ever be
When the storm comes
He will shelter me

When the storm comes
And the thunder rolls
And the cold wind blows
When the storm comes
I wonât be alone

Well He will take me as I am
Iâll be safe and sound
Rockinâ in the cradle of Abraham
Walkinâ on hallowed ground

Chorus

When the storm comes
Iâll fly above the clouds
No Iâm not going down
When the storm comes
Iâll be homeward bound

Instrumental

He will take me as I am
Though sinner I may be
Iâll be riding through the streets of Jerusalem
Breaking bread with the King of Kings

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

When the storm comes
Iâll be homeward bound
(Repeat Three Times)

ALL ROADS 04:38
(Susan Toney)

You wonder if youâll ever get it right
So you lie awake at night
Youâre searching in the darkness for your light
While your flame is burning bright
Nobody told you
Well I think itâs time that you should know
The truth be told
All roads lead you home

Got you doubting if you can really fly
Unaware you touch the sky
Not knowing where you are youâre so surprised
When you open up your eyes
Nobody told you
I think itâs time that you should know
The truth be told
All roads lead you home

Thereâs no mystery in power or money
Thereâs mystery in love
Donât make the mistake of letting them take
Your diamond in the rough
Donât you let them convince you
That youâre not good enough

Hey hey hey hey heyâe

So you feel alone you feel afraid
Question all the moves youâve made
Youâre running out of faith but you still pray
Well you never lost your way
Nobody told you aah ah
Well I think itâs time that you should know
The truth be told
All roads lead you home

All roads lead you home All roads lead you
All roads lead you home All roads lead you
All roads lead you home
All roads lead you All roads lead you
All roads lead you home

All roads lead you All roads lead you home

IN HER WORLD 03:46
(Susan Toney)

Sheâs got this way about her
No need to try and figure it out
Just like that long haired alley cat
Who stayed for good on the front door mat

Chorus
But sheâs not yours
Sheâs calling this her home
Youâll never own her
But youâll never be alone again
âCause things are all right in her world
âCause things are all right in her world

She turns confusion back to silence
Cups the darkness in the palm of her hand
With a kiss blows it straight back to heaven
In her state of grace the devils just a weak frightened man

Chorus

Well sheâs like the moon and sun and stars
She takes you gently to a place in her arms
That youâve never been

Chorus

Sheâs got this way about her

YOU'RE WRONG AGAIN 04:21
(Susan Toney)

Take a step
Back away from me
I donât want your pain and your grief
I bet you thought this poor dumb girl would never see
The edge of the cliff

Chorus

These eyes see better at night
Youâre blinded by the light
You should have covered your tracks
You were too confident
That this was one fight I wouldnât win
Youâre wrong again

Iâm on solid ground
Iâm stronger than Iâve ever been
A mountain of rock beneath my feet
My step is sure and my aim is even better yet
So much for your sure thing

Chorus

All the years I hurt inside
I tried to find some place to hide my sorrow sorrow
You were there to rob me blind
Prepared to steal my heart my soul my mind

Chorus

Youâre wrong again Youâre wrong again

DOWN BY THE WATER 03:32
(Susan Toney)

Down by the water
Iâll spend some treasured time with you
Iâm a sweet loveless daughter
That your momma never knew

Chorus
I hope that in my eyes youâll see
A womanâs love can set you free
Free set your soul free
And make you whole again

Fire burns like embers
You stroke my hair and touch my face
My soul remembers
Then you find my secret place

I hope that in my eyes youâll see
A friendâs love can set you free
Free set your soul free
And make you whole again

So many days and so many nights
I prayed youâd find your way

(Repeat First Verse)

(Repeat Chorus)

Set your soul free
And make you whole again
Set your soul free
And make you whole again
Down by the water

I WILL DELIVER 04:22
(Susan Toney & Jane Getz)

Tell me what you really want and I will deliver
Got the purest gold and the finest silver
There is nothing too big there is nothing too small
If you want a little somethinâ or you want it all
You are the one I have been waiting for

Chorus

You be the taker Iâll be the giver anything you want
I will be your light in the darkest winter
And love will flow to you like a mighty river
Anything you want I will deliver

If youâre thinking of a mansion or a castle in the sand
Or just a little white washed bungalow baby here I am
I will take you to the waters edge as far as you can walk
And when you think you canât go on love will carry you across
You are the one I have been waiting for

Chorus

Your heart canât see can you believe
Now I give my word to you and I donât take it lightly
There will be no broken promises baby trust me
Iâve got the strength of my convictions and the power of faith
And I will move a mountain for you baby if thatâs what it takes

Chorus

Anything you want I will deliver
Ooh anything anything
Donât you worry baby leave it to me
Iâll be the giver

THROUGH THE HEART 03:42
(Susan Toney)

Well your sitting there afraid
Lost inside and donât know what to do
A prisoner of the fears surrounding you
No one can rescue you

Chorus
And the only thing thatâs true
Is the only way to love
And the only way to love
Is as gentle as a dove
The only way to love is through the heart
I hope you make it through

All the plans that we have made
Divide them up and cut them all in two
Feel free to keep the walls protecting you
I couldnât make it through

Chorus

Well your running scared
But you canât see how blind you are
At times I thought you nearly touched the light
But you let go of it suddenly
Clutching for the need to just be right

Chorus

The only way to love is through the heart
The only way to love
The only way to love is through the heart

I hope you make it through
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh oh ooh ooh ooh ooh oh
Uâm I hope you do Oh ooh ooh ooh
Hope you make it through
Hope you make it through
