1.	Shadow In The Light 03:51	lyrics
SHADOW IN THE LIGHT She was a shadow in the light, All the secrets of her heart fading fast As the radio played in the dead of night Like a ghost from the past In a windswept town, High summer coming round She danced all night with those beach town boys Swept her feet off the ground She was a shadow in the light, we're still holding on Hold on tight, cause we're so far gone Shadow in the light, coming out tonight Shadow in the light Shadow in the light, coming out tonight Shadow in the light Invisible kids in the pinball palace Glow of machines Where the promenade winds To the beachside pier Neon jukebox scenes She was a shadow in the light Roman candles explode as they kissed In that beachside town, High summer coming down You'll be so sadly missed
2.	The Sun Will Shine Again 03:19	lyrics	buy track
THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN The sun will shine, the sun will shine again The sun will shine, the sun will shine again The winter night long was long All my hope was gone yesterday In her eyes I see A river to the sea faraway A little bit of love in your heart for me A little bit of love and harmony The sun will shine, the sun will shine again The sun will shine, the sun will shine again The lonely road is long Long forgotten song' s melody Fire from a spark Searching in the dark endlessly The sun will shine again Down upon the kingdom of the rain The sun will shine Tthe sun will shine again
3.	Junior Astonomer's Club 03:22	lyrics
JUNIOR ASTRONOMER'S CLUB She looks towards the stars wishing for a lucky day Tape tangled cassette wouldn't play See "the starlight in her heart" Victoria's Day, flip the single let the b-side play Love's bleeding in her heart she'd say See the star-light in her heart She was a chapter in a tragic book of love A star-crossed lover's love Junior Astronomer's Club meets tonight! The Fortune Teller said, "According to the horoscope she read" According to the lonely life she led See the starlight in her heart Lowest low to high tide Old river to the dark seaside, Now we found we were so lost inside See the starlight in her heart She was a chapter in a tragic book of love A star-crossed lover's love Junior Astronomer's Club meets tonight! Junior Astronomer's Club meets tonight!

7.	Teardrop Town 03:51	lyrics
TEARDROP TOWN Teardrop Town where the sunshine is rare She moves like a ghost with her blood red hair If you catch the gaze of her eyes ice blue Her wicked eastern wind will put a curse on you Yes two hearts are better than one But in Teardrop Town you're better off ... to run Teardrop Town full of crooked grace Sweet revenge lies in her sweet embrace Like a badge she wears her mystery Since her lover disappeared into the deep dark sea Teardrop Town secrets pave the street You can see it in the eyes of the strangers you meet Hear their whispers as you walk on by Her eternal love is gonna make you cry, cry, cry And the moment when he found out why "I slid a knife into his heart just to watch him die" Teardrop Town once you're here you'll stay My rocky skirt will become your grave So if you find yourself passing throughBeware ... cause I'll bewitch you too
8.	Emily Blue 04:51	lyrics
EMILY BLUE Spring came to this northern town Like a record spins around Turning my world upside down in a heartbeat Emily Blue, lost in her memory She dreamt that it's true, Emily Spring came to this northern town, Season' s cycle spin around Roller-coaster up and down in a heartbeat Northern town, winter turns to spring Northern girl, she would surely sing Emily Blue She shines, she shines She shines, she shines, she shines Oh Emily She shines, she shine she shines, she shines, she shines Emily Blue Black light, black light Emily Blue, Oh Emily She shines, she shine she shines, she shines, she shines Oh Emily She shines, she shine she shines, she shines, she shines
9.	Broken Dreamers 03:33	lyrics
BROKEN DREAMERS Ashes and dust Lost diamond in the carnival night Merry-go-round Young lovers hold on so tight Wake up my dear for we are the broken dreamers The book of lost love all hail these neon lovers Pages are torn apart from cover to cover Her bittersweet kiss Electric in the endless summer night Let's get out of town, One last chance to get it right Wake up my dear for we are the broken dreamers We are the falling stars and make believers Wake up my dear for we are the broken dreamers Her silhouette cast a magic spell, Waves crash to the shore Crimson glow of the sunrise, Her heart longs for more These star-crossed lovers, Haunting the heart of a fleeting glance Put a coin in the jukebox darling, One last dance
10.	Land Of 1000 Goodbyes 03:42	lyrics
LAND OF 1,000 GOODBYES We faded away the sunshine today The carnival has locked it's gates The rain is on it's way Where have you been my cinema queen? Her watercolour memory slipped into a dream Oh where does the summer go If eternal sun shines in your eyes? Oh sing me your summer song The land of 1,000 goodbyes Bicycle blue, I saw her in you The king and queen of lonely dreamsLove began to bloom Time in freeze-frame Someone whispered her name She read from her novel then threw it on the fire Black songbird singing Bird on a Wire Deep beneath the ocean, beyond the light of day The mermaids of the high tide Swept them all up into play
11.	State Of The Art 02:53	lyrics
STATE OF THE ART I don't know quite how to play your game My dear friend you know you're not the same State of the art Arrow to the heart When we're together we're falling apart You see I can't see through your strange disguise You see I see a stranger in your eyes The truth is it's a lie, feel like I could die I still want you... I can't deny If I could solve your sad soul' s mystery Once we sang in perfect harmony
12.	Lucky Streak 03:57	lyrics
LUCKY STREAK Her love is dead to you now Drive the highway to the sea Oooh sweet love broke their hearts Mercy, mercy, mercy me Faraway, broken hearts beat slow She would lay, like a river bed of snow Mountainside, wayward blackbirds flown Deep inside, they were so alone He would wait 1,000 years for you Torn in two, on a lucky streak For you, torn in two On a lucky streak, down on a lucky streak He would wait 1000 years for you Lost at sea, miles from the shore Yes we know, nothing is for sure And she waits, misty morning rain The highest stakes, for love that is in vain He would wait 1,000 years for you
13.	Northern Love Song 03:52	lyrics
Now she's gone, Left in the early morning dawn Walked alone, Winter wind chills the skin and bone Darling darling darling Where did our Love Song go? Falling falling, melodies fall like northern snow Darling darling darling Where did our Northern Love Song go Spring appeared ghost of her lost love disappeared Melodies, summer we sang in minor keys Darling, darling darling Where did our Love Song go? Falling falling, melodies fall like northern snow Darling darling darling Where did our Northern Love Song go? Remember your love Remember my love Remember our love was true Northern girl Top of the world was your pearl Words you wrote Finding the perfect missing note Darling, darling darling Where did our Love Song go? Falling falling, melodies fall like northern snow Darling darling darling Where did our Northern Love Song go?

15.	Empire Of The Night 04:11	lyrics
EMPIRE OF THE NIGHT Spent all these years searching Searching the darkness for the light Here in the empire of the night Yeah adrift upon the seven seas Deep in dreams, melodies, memories Here in the empire of the night I tried to light a brilliant spark Now I'm swimming in the deepest ocean dark Here in the empire of the night We're following the strangest map I see the future cause I'm in the black Here in the empire of the night All I want to do is love you true There ain't nothing in this world I wouldn't give to you Here in the empire of the night Yeah I'm searching for a heart that's pure We're looking for a sacred cure Here in the empire of the night Oh lord, this cruel world has worn me down Love's memory a haunted crown Here in the empire of the night I'll try to write the perfect song But life's not like that Right or wrong?

16.	Girl By The River 02:31	lyrics
GIRL BY THE RIVER Girl by the river, yes boy forgive her Her beauty is timeless as the sea Bells of the church chime Marking in real time Sweet honey sunshine on me Oh girl by the river Will wash our sorrows to the sea We became sparrows in the heartbroken desert Drawn towards the rivers edge Wings tired and wounded Circling downward Lions await at the shore But the wind was with us For one last victory Before the cruelty of life takes it's toll I once believed in magic Gods and devils I still believe our love was true We became sparrows In the warm autumn moonlight Where no one could hurt me and you
17.	The Deluxe 02:56	lyrics
THE DELUXE We all know that the four winds blow And the rocky road will wind Static snow on the radio As you left our love behind Frozen still in the window sill The girl that time forgot Cinema queen soft focus scene DeLuxe restaurant, forget me not Don't leave me in the rain To watch the flowers grow I'm waiting here in vain Behind our shoppe's window And one day when I die In the valley of the shadow I'll meet you in the rain To watch the flowers grow Mr Lee crossed ancient sea And walked a crooked mile All the gold in China Would pale to her smile We all know this earthly world Is a blessing and a curse It'll build you up and break you down For better or for worse
18.	A Foolish Symphony (Wait) 03:31	lyrics
A FOOLISH SYMPHONY (WAIT) Wait, sweet darling don't you go I'm still dreaming after the show But the drive-In's getting dark Oh my skylark Oh please don't go Are we dead and gone? Wait, we'll sing a melody A foolish symphony The birds will ever see, flown to July sky The sparkle in your eyes. Don't let our love die. Wait the hour's getting late, A tangled twist of fate Love can be so cruel I was such a fool Broke the golden rule Darling please don't go Oh it's been so long Oh since our sweet love has gone Are we dead and gone? Strike a chord, write a tune Maybe one day they will fall in love again Brother that'll be the luckiest day of his life Maybe one day he will write a song for her Brother that'll be the luckiest day of his life "I remember when I fell in love with you”
19.	Aloha Blue Sky 03:17	lyrics

24.	A Letter (To Our Future Selves) 03:08	lyrics
A LETTER (TO OUR FUTURE SELVES) A long forgotten photograph She's sounding like a phonograph Lost along the way He met her on a cloudy day Sunshine came to stay Lost along the way Saw her at the picture show She would stop and he would go Lost along the way Spinning like a ferris-wheel, You never know how you'll feel Lost along the way By design, star align Lost in time, without you Umbrellas and bicycles Morning light, icicles Lost along the way A letter to our future selves Dusty records on the shelf Lost along the way By design, star align Lost in time, without you Lost along the way

Only you will know Where'd your love go Now that you've found that your lost?
