1.	Follow Me Down 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Follow Me Down Day by day Night by night We keep saying This feels right You feel sorry When I’m gone Don’t you worry I won’t be long Come on baby Follow, follow me down When you left It didn’t feel right Petty theft Of this heart of mine Little worries Don’t bother me Just you hurry Hurry back to me Come on baby Follow, follow me down City lanes Lights all around Cars in rain Lost in sound No one can find us No way how We’re so high up Follow me down Come on baby Follow, follow me down x 2
2.	Give Me a Little Love 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Give Me a Little Love Fifty years on And we’re still learning Living together Ain’t so easy Our wings are gone We’re all yearning Working much harder Not breathing freely Give me a little love A little understanding Goes a long way Open your mind Shut down the hate We can’t keep waiting We’ll have our day Give sight to the blind To see better days Give me a little love
3.	Make Me Smile 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Make Me Smile Large living Has worn me down small I can’t get up I can’t take another fall High minded Low actions Spent all our money Can’t give you satisfaction Stop, rewind, go back to the beginning Hold me, send me, love me, once more before the end Make me smile again You try harder To be a little softer Don’t say goodbye Just stay a little longer Rain falling Falling over me Can’t see me crying Over what used to be Stop, rewind, go back to the beginning Hold me, send me, love me, once more before the end Make me smile again
4.	Another Tomorrow 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Another Tomorrow Stay behind I promise I won’t take too much time Party’s gone End of song I’ve seen you round Lurking around the lost and found Late at night What a sight Love just for show Daylight getting low I can’t give you another tomorrow Is it true Who is she and what is she to you Is she sweet Where’d you meet It ain’t easy Pulling two loves with just one heart string It’s a strain All in vain Love just for show Daylight getting low I can’t give you another tomorrow

Love Won’t Find You Here I ain’t got the time To be wasting I’ve gone out of my mind Trying to explain things In your way Don’t you try to say you don’t believe it Cause I can hear All the folks and what they’re sayin Love won’t find you here Snow blind man trying to tell me To open up My eyes They’re wide enough to see Through the wool And the lies Don’t you try to say you don’t believe it Cause I can hear All the folks and what they’re sayin Love won’t find you here I know, I can’t change you mind But please understand I know, you wanna disappear Cause love won’t find you here Don’t you try to say you don’t believe it Cause I can hear All the folks and what they’re sayin Love won’t find you here

Same Old Same Old Woke today somewhere strange Strange old man took the day I don’t want to go I know what you know Same old same old story goes You can’t say Don’t pretend you did not hear Tell your lies spread your fear I don’t want to go I know what you know Same old same old story goes You can’t say Don’t push no further I’m gonna find my way Don’t push no further I’m gonna rise someday
8.	Dance Without You 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Dance Without You It ain’t always easy Letting love take control Please don’t fight the feeling Don’t wait till we’re old Don’t have to understand it Won’t find it in a book Don’t need to complicate it Just know I’m on the hook I won’t take it Another night Won’t you help me See the light I don’t wanna dance without you Hold me, don’t roll me I don’t know what else I can do Won’t you help me, please save me It ain’t always easy Letting go of what you know It don’t take much to please me Say hello, take it slow Stop thinking about tomorrow I won’t go if you stay Forgetting all your sorrow Stay a while don’t hesitate I won’t take it Another night Won’t you help me See the light I don’t wanna dance without you Hold me, don’t roll me I don’t know what else I can do Won’t you help me, please save me

Step In I can’t breathe when I hear your name I can’t see when you look my way I can’t move, don’t you walk away I can’t think, I’ve got you to blame I don’t mean you no harm I just want you in my arms You gotta step in my love You gotta step in to line I’ve got so much to show you darling So don’t go wasting my time I can’t talk when you say hello I can’t walk when you’re getting close I can’t stand when you’re about to go Can’t understand why I can’t seem to show I don’t mean you no harm I just want you in my arms You gotta step in my love You gotta step in to line I’ve got so much to show you darling So don’t go wasting my time
10.	Hold Your FIre 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Hold Your Fire You Promised Love Not this nightly war Look at what you’ve done You broke down our door The smiles are all gone Take a look around See what you’ve done Put it down on the ground Hold your fire Don’t let go Lay down your weapons Take me home I’m not here to cry I’m just trying to show Ain’t no use in lying I already know
