Triumph - The Sports Of Kings

              We passed the point of no return
              How can we make amends
              All alone I watch the candle burn
              Burnin' at both ends
              Nothin's ever gonna change
              Can tears wash away this pain

              CHORUS:
              Tears in the rain
              Here it comes again
              I'll never know the reason why
              I cry these tears in the rain

              The time has come to make a stand
              We've waited much too long
              Nobody's gonna lead us by the hand
              How could we be so wrong?
              We lost the chance to play the game
              Can tears wash away this pain

              Is it fate or random chance
              How can I decide
              Are we victims of circumstance
              When destinies collide
              All the odds are against you
              But somehow you make it through
              You can rationalize it away
              But it all comes down to you
              Half our lives we spend waiting
              For the knock upon the door
              When it comes, will it be the one
              That I've been waiting for

              CHORUS:
              Somebody's out there, somewhere
              Waiting for someone to come their way
              Somebody's out there, somewhere
              I will somehow be somebody's someone
              Someday

              Standing in the shadows
              Hiding from the light
              Reach out in the darkness
              And hold on for your life
              All the fear of the future
              All the loneliness inside
              When the moment of truth arrive, hey,
              You can run but you can't hide

              I can feel it inside me
              I've been holding on so long
              Something's tellin' me something's got to give
              'Cause the feeling's way too strong, too strong

              I hate so say the feelin's gone
              But I just can't keep holding on
              I hope that's somethin' your heart will allow
              I didn't mean to do it
              I should have known from the start
              I just couldn't put you through it
              Sometimes I just don't know

              CHORUS:
              What rules my heart
              What rules my heart
              What rules my heart
              What rules my heart

              Mistreating you was such a crime
              I know the hurt will heal in time
              But that's a small consolation right now
              I didn't mean to do it
              I should have known from the very start
              I just couldn't put you throught it
              Sometimes I just don't know

              If only I could change the world
              With just a simple song
              If only I could keep my words
              From coming out all wrong
              If only I could make you see another point of view
              If only wishes would come true

              If only once upon a time
              Could be the here and now
              If only make-believe could make
              Believers of us all
              If only I could touch the dream
              So deep inside of you
              If only wishes would come true
              If only, if only,
              Wishes would come true
              If only, if only,
              I could get to you
              Maybe we could make a wish come true

              If only I could change your heart
              With just a simple song
              If only I could stop the world
              From turning out all wrong
              If only everybody wished
              The same things that I do
              There would be hope for me and you
              If only wishes would come true

              When I first tasted your love
              I knew I'd never get enough
              Cuz, I'm hooked
              Hooked on you.
              When you turn on your love light
              You burn me, but it's all right
              Cuz, I'm hooked
              Hooked on you.

              CHORUS:
              Hooked on it
              The fire in your eyes
              Hooked on it
              I just can't disguise
              How I feel, what can I do
              Hooked on you.

              You gave me just one look and babe
              I swear that's all it took
              And I was hooked
              Hooked on you.
              This heart is afflicted
              Yeah, it's true.
              I'm hooked on you.

              Hooked on it - One touch of your hand
              Hooked on it - I can't understand
              You don't know, what you put me through

              Time is runnin' out
              Hear it tickin' away
              Future's closin' in
              No reason to delay
              Break the chains that hold you down, my friend
              Don't wait any longer
              Find the answers deep inside yourself
              They're makin' you stronger

              CHORUS:
              Take a stand
              In the light
              It'll be all right tonight
              Fire it up
              Burn it bright
              We can never give up the fight
              We can make it all right
              We can make it all right, all right tonight

              Clouds are rollin' in
              Hear the thunder in the distance
              Lightnin' strikin' all around me
              Breaks my resistance
              The walls are crashin' in, the storm begins to
              Tear down the system
              The house is comin' down it's all around
              It's high time we listened

              I've always wondered
              What it would be like
              Just you and me baby
              Nothin' else
              We meet again
              Both of us by circumstance
              Stay with me
              We might never get the chance to

              CHORUS:
              Hold on to love
              Just one night
              Don't try to fight about it
              Take me I'm yours
              For just one night

              Don't be alone
              And think of what
              We could have had,
              You'll wonder why
              You ever let this moment pass
              You can't deny
              We see it in each other's eyes
              Close the door
                Leave this lonely world outside to

              We might never
              Get this chance
              Hold on to love
              Don't try to fight about it
              Take me I'm yours
              Just one night

              I see the passion that burns in your eyes
              And I feel the spirit inside of me rise
              When it starts in me
              In the heart of me
              There's a part of me burning tonight

              PRE-CHORUS:
              When she calls to you, no matter what you do
              She'll be claiming you,
              Taking you higher and higher

              CHORUS:
              Play with the fire
              With a hunger that runs in your soul
              Burning desire
              Is taking you out of control
              There's no fighting it
              No denying it
              Something's inside of us
              Driving us closer tonight...into the fire

              Time marches on, but love never dies
              The risks that we run will keep it alive
              She will come again (2nd time - Here she comes again)
              Like a burning flame
              And you can't stop the pain of desire,
              When she calls to you...

              Here's she comes again
              Like a burning flame
              And you can't stop the pain of desire,
              When she calls to you...

              You can talk
              Or I can beat my head against the wall
              'Cause that'd be just as easy
              And I,
              I can't keep giving you it all
              Not if you're just gonna tease me
              Now I don't know how it's supposed to be
              But as long as you say that you're in love with me, darlin'

              CHORUS:
              Don't love anybody else but me
              Don't be waiting for some fantasy
              Don't love anybody else but me

              I could ask
              What it is that's burning you inside
              But then what would protect me?
              In the past
              I never had this much riding on the line
              No, I can't let you reject me
              'Cause no one else kept you this satisfied
              And I'm not gonna wait for you to read my mind, so darlin'

              Don't love anyone else but me
              Don't be waiting for some fantasy
              I've been waiting for you patiently
              Don't love anyone else but me

              How could you do this to us?
              Am I askin' too much?
              At least that's what I'm hoping but then you
              Don't know if we can undo the harm
              You say there's no way of knowing
              But if you're not asking me to set you free
              And as long as you claim to be in love with me
              Darlin',

              Two broken people can never go back
              They blame each other for the things they lack
              They have no concept of the danger they're in
              There's no accounting for the wages of sin

              You say that love is holding you down
              I watch you walkin' away
              I look for something that could turn this around
              There's nothin' I can say

              CHORUS:
              In the middle of the night...
              I'm calling
              Can you hear me whisper your name
              In the dying of the light...I'm falling
              But it feels like the morning may never be coming again
              Never again, never again

              Under the table, under the gun
              Under the influence of what
              We've become
              Heavy consequences for the things that we've done
              We should have learned to talk before we started to run
              Whatever happened to the love that we had?
              I feel it
              Slippin' away
              It started good but now it's ending so bad...look at the
              Price we pay

              Too many people they walk in their sleep
              Steppin' on the promises that they ought to keep
              Anaesthetic people, they dance in a dream, but
              Things are never quite as simple as they seem
              You're keepin' all your secrets inside you
              They're gonna tear you apart
              Let me come and lay down beside you
              Open up your heart
