TALISMAN LYRICS

1. Falling

Where were you on the day I fell down from the sky?
I thought you were the one that would not pass me by

Blind, lost and all alone
And I'm just pretending to know all the lessons yet to learn
Why it feels like vertigo
And it seems the spotlight is fading, can't hold on I'm falling, falling

Where are you now that I've become a common man?
Fame surreal, always desecrates the master plan

Time, slipping through your soul
Enter all the reasons I know, I'm beyond resurrection
Why it feels like vertigo
And it seems the spotlight is fading, can't hold on I'm falling, falling

Blind, lost and all alone
And I'm just pretending to know all the lessons yet to learn
Why it feels like vertigo
And it seems the spotlight is fading, can't hold on I'm falling, falling

2. Nowhere Fast

Wait another day until you change your mind
Only just to know that it won't last
Fill me with the fantasy that we will bide
Only going nowhere fast

Forgive me if you think I'm speaking out of line
But I was doing fine until you came along
Shoulda seen you were to good to be true

Wait another day until you change your mind
Only just to know that it won't last
Fill me with the fantasy that we will bide
Only going nowhere fast

One disaster followed by another one
Praying that tomorrow brings another light
Shoulda known it was to good to be true

Wait another day until you change your mind
Only just to know that it won't last
Fill me with the fantasy that we will bide
Only going nowhere fast

Everyone tried to warn me but I said you wouldn't let me down...
Let me down

I shoulda seen you were to good to be true
I shoulda known better from someone like you

Wait another day until you change your mind
Only just to know that it won't last
Fill me with the fantasy that we will bide
Only going nowhere fast

3. Rhyme or Reason

No one ever really knows
How the touch of love is everything
No one really understands
What a simple touch, the joy it can bring

You can ask your mother, call out to your sister
They will tell you just the same, yea
Sometimes it's best to follow words within a dream
'Cause this may never come again

Shine your light through my window
That's the sign that our love is here to stay
You are my rhyme and my reason

In the shadows of a never-ending kiss
Through the memoirs of my soul
We been strolling heart to heart, hand in hand
Speculating when the hot goes cold

But I'm no bitter child, I'm far from a fool
I deem that heaven is destiny hey
Forever's never easy, but time, time will tell
It's in the stars for us to see

Shine your light through my window
That's the sign that our love is here to stay
You are my rhyme and my reason

Time will tell

Shine your light through my window
That's the sign that our love is here to stay
You are my rhyme and my reason

4. End of the Line

Lies, you tell 'em by the dozen, now where do you hide your shame
You get what you got coming, try to tease me with your insincerity,
Telling me, what I'm gon' be
But guess who's on to your game, yea that'd be me

Can you – you tell me your reasons
Why you – you wasted my precious time
Now you – you can't even face me
So you – it is what it is

On and on your story's growing old (end of the line)
No more promises and no more of your lies
On and on my soul will carry on (end of the line)
Send you all my love and now I say goodbye, goodbye

Blinded by your discretion, hidden by your aggression now
How many, so many tried to show me the signs,
I covered your front while you stabbed at my back, I'm taking aim,
Keep on running, 'cause you won't leave me out to dry

Can I – tell you it's over
While I – show you what I'm made of
Now I – I'm back to believing
So I – commence the divide

On and on your story's growing old (end of the line)
No more promises and no more of your lies
On and on my soul will carry on (end of the line)
Send you all my love and now I say goodbye, goodbye

Can I – tell you it's over
While I – show you what I'm made of
Now I – I'm back to believing
So I – commence the divide

On and on your story's growing old (end of the line)
No more promises and no more of your lies
On and on my soul will carry on (end of the line)
Send you all my love and now I say goodbye, goodbye

5. The 1 I'm Living 4

Where'd you come from, are you from the sky
Like an angel in my eyes
You're the reason I believe that love's alive

Where'd you come from, such a mystery
How'd you come into my life
'Cause you've resurrected everything I lost inside

Make a wish - take this heart that I'm offering
Mine to give - only you can spare it
You could be the one I'm living for

Thinking back to my dreaded younger years
All the times on my knees
Love was always the compromise I'd always heard it'd be

Now once you've been there, baby, now once you've come undone
Faith is hard to revive
In your arms I've got a place to live, a new place to hide

Make a wish - take this heart that I'm offering
Mine to give - only you can spare it
You could be the one I'm living for

Where'd you come from, are you from the sky
Like an angel in my eyes
You're the reason I believe that love's alive

Make a wish - take this heart that I'm offering
Mine to give - only you can spare it
You could be the one I'm living for

6. On My Way

Try to tell me what I should or should not do
Don't you know that in the end, the result is I'm gone
I'm no longer gonna live by your golden rule
All the compromises got me barely holding on

Now I'm gonna live my life
Showing you what I'm made of
Don't close your eyes 'til I'm gone

Walk away and don't turn around
Turn away without saying goodbye
I'm on my way
On my way

Crossed the line with all the ways you minced your words
Never understood compassionate humane ways
All you've ever know is you're the only that's heard
There's a new answer for a brand new day

Now I'm gonna spend my life
Proving I was so right
Don't bow your head 'til I'm gone
Walk away and don't turn around
Turn away without saying goodbye
I'm on my way
On my way
On my way

[Solo]

Ooh

Walk away and don't turn around
Turn away without saying goodbye
I'm on my way
On my way
On my way

Just walk away...
Just turn away...
Don't turn around...
Just saying goodbye...
This I'm on my way...
This I'm on my way...

7. Forevermore

I can't believe it's been 15 years
Seems like mere days since you've gone
I know you're doing well, I feel you found your peace
'Cause we're still singing here the praises of your style

Through space and time, we keep alive the world you created
You gave us love, you gave us song, you left us faded
You left some heaven for everyone
Tears of joy cry to you forevermore

So many things that were left unsaid
So many faces disappeared
But there's no more pain my friend, you finally spread your wings
We'll revel in the memories you left us all these years

Through space and time, we keep alive the world you created
You gave us love, you gave us song, you left us faded
You left some heaven for everyone
Tears of joy cry to you forevermore

Through space and time, we keep alive the world you created
You gave us love, you gave us song, you left us faded
You left some heaven for everyone
Tears of joy cry to you forevermore

8. Succumb 2 My Desire

Surrender to desire is all you need to know
Tomorrow may not come again
Succumb to my desire is all you need to feel
You'll never know what could have been

Tie me up, tie me down
Trade your words for actions now
Walk your talk, round the clock, 'til I pop, don't you stop
Don't forget my favorite sound

Ain't lookin' for a true situation
But still you're the only one
Your bliss is my delight, I'm gon' let you in
Mama, let's begin

Surrender to desire is all you need to know
Tomorrow may not come again
Succumb to my desire is all you need to feel
You'll never know what could have been

What you need, what you got?
So inviting when you're skin's so hot
Like a pill, for your thrill, as you please, as you will
Work it 'til I hit that spot

I'm blinded by the light of your energy
Breathing through your raw design
I only wanna colour your ecstasy
Mama, let's begin

È ora di entrare
È ora di farla il mio

This allegation I'm willed to confess
My lust been watching you a long, long time
Well I just can't help it, I just wanna melt with you
I wanna start from the bottom baby
I wanna grind you to the groove
I wanna colour your ecstasy

I'm blinded by the light of your energy
Breathing through your raw design
Your bliss is my delight, I'm gon' let you in
I said mama, ooh mama let's begin

Surrender to desire is all you need to know
Succumb to my desire is all you need to feel
Surrender to desire is all you need to know
Succumb to my desire is all you need to feel

9. Shed a Tear Goodbye

Let me start with what a fool I've been
I've been missing since I don't know when
Naive to think you'd still be there anytime and anywhere I turned away

You gave me all your golden years
In return I left unknowing tears
Now the tables turning 'round my way 'cause a part of me has died since you been gone

Do you believe it's best we live our lives without each other?
Do you believe we can go on our separate ways?
If you do, I will shed a tear goodbye

I dream to get back yesterday
When everything would simply go our way
We never had to look between all the lines could turn the night to day

Do you believe it's best we live our lives without each other?
Do you believe we can go on our separate ways?
If you do, I will shed a tear goodbye

It's too late for restitution
Too late for sorry now
And if you go for good
I've lost it all, this I can't allow

So I'm asking for another try
I will lay out all the reasons why
Won't you pick me up I'm flat on the floor?
I will never let you down another day

Do you believe it's best we live our lives without each other?
Do you believe we can go on our separate ways?
If you do, I will shed a tear goodbye

10. Troubled Water

I see it's clear in your eyes
We've been through this before
No need to fabricate this war

To worlds exist and fall apart
To fantasies expire
The question is love worth fighting for?

Have I lost all my faith
How do I really know?

We sail on troubled waters
To reach a sacred land
Who knows the sunshine from the rain?
We ride on troubled waters
We need a higher plan
To know the pleasure from the pain

I see no rhyme or reason
Beyond all fantasy
Only the lonely understand

Our destiny's decided
One touch can change it all
We're strangers in a stranger land

Have we lost all our pride
How do we really know?

We sail on troubled waters
To reach a sacred land
Who knows the sunshine from the rain?
We ride on troubled waters
We need a higher plan
To know the pleasure from the pain

Have I lost all my faith
How do I really know?

We sail on troubled waters
To reach a sacred land
Who knows the sunshine from the rain?
We ride on troubled waters
We need a higher plan
To know the pleasure from the pain

11. Back 2 the Feeling

I've been waiting so long
I don't know where I belong
I've been wandering down this winding road
Hoping some day I'd be home

All I've learned and all I know
I'm back to the feeling, I finally know
All the pain and all the tears
I'm back, yes I'm back to the feeling

Years I've spent in a daze
All the truth seems so far away
Always play the sentimental fool
Now there is something I must do

All I've learned and all I know
I'm back to the feeling, I finally know
All the pain and all the tears
I'm back, yes I'm back to the feeling

I'm back to the feeling
I've found the road I must go

All I've learned and all I know
I'm back to the feeling, I finally know
All the pain and all the tears
I'm back, yes I'm back to the feeling

12. Final Curtain
