Song List & Selected Lyrics

Red Eye Tonight

Leaving is never easy
But clinging to a love that's gone
Is so crazy
Now I'm packing up the past
And I'm sending it Express
No signature required
'Cause it's a permanent address

I'm going home
I'm coming home
I'm leaving alone
On the red eye tonight

Changing is never easy
But waiting for a love to return
Is just crazy
Now I'm giving up the ghost
My apartment is for rent (and)
I'm heading for the other coast
Before my life is spent

I'm going home
I'm coming home
I'm leaving alone
On the red eye tonight

Repeat Second Verse

I'm going home
I'm coming home
I'm leaving alone
On the red eye tonight
On the red eye tonight
On the red eye tonight
On the red eye tonight

So Long

I wake up alone
To the sound of you gone
I feel so tired of crying
I'm dying here by the phone
They say silence is golden
But gold fades to gray
When each passing moment's
As long as a day
Though our love went wrong
I don't want to be saying so long

Seems like forever
Since you said goodbye
God knows I can't eat, I can't sleep
I feel like I'm buried alive
And now that it's over
The future's been sold
My bed is too empty
The sheets are so cold
Though our love went wrong
I don't want to be saying so long

And now that it's over
The future's been sold
My bed is too empty
The sheets are so cold
Though our love went wrong
I don't want to be saying so long
Though our love went wrong
I don't want to be saying so long

'Bye bye,
So long

Twilight Magic

Morning comes, I wake up soft
Summer's breath sighs in the sun
I reach for you never knowing why
We have to run

But evening is yours and mine
The dance is slow
Let's take the time
Twilight magic turns on my soul
Twinkles in the night
Into the dawn

Love me I'm too shy to love you
Hold me and I'll grow around you
Love me I'm too shy to love you
Hold me and I'll grow around

Swept away, and buried in your breath
Melt away, your touch is tenderness
Twilight magic turns on my soul
Twinkles in the night
Twinkles in the dawn

This time I can feel it grow
On intoxicate me, Baby
With your gentle glow
Twilight magic turns on my soul
Twinkles in the night
Into the dawn

Love me I'm too shy to love you
Hold me and I'll grow around you
Love me I'm too shy to love you
Hold me and I'll grow around

Love me I'm too shy to love you
Hold me and I'll grow around you
Love me I'm too shy to love you
Hold me and I'll grow around
