LOVE AN ADVENTURE EMI 1985


Love An Adventure (B. Canham)

Days and the years go by
Always passing time
Never realise all the questions in my mind

Sure I need an answer
Sure I need a high
But I don't anticipate
I just wait till the moment's right

'Cause I love an adventure
A journey into my mind
Yes I love an adventure
It's something to pass the time

Now as I realise
Nothing is enough
Time is on my side
Even though times can get rough

Yes I need the reasons
Reasons in your mind
But I don't anticipate
I just wait till the moment's right

'Cause I love an adventure
A journey into my mind
Yes I love an adventure
It's something to pass the time


Don't Go (B. Canham/J. Leigh)

I lie awake and
I'm always shaking
I know I feel a bit weak at the knees

Somebody's out there
And I am so scared
Stay here beside me I'm begging you please

Night after night I am awake
Don't go
Turn on the light, keep me awake
Don't go

I'm hearing footsteps
Come to collect debts
Next thing you know they'll be right at the door

Don't leave me alone
Disconnect the phone
Next time it rings will drive me up the wall

Night after night I am awake
Don't go
Turn on the light, keep me awake
Don't go


Try (B. Canham/J. Leigh)

Once the light shined high and bright in you
All your feelings were aglow
Then you always knew just what to do
Now you never seem to know

Which way to look
Which way to turn
You never took the time to learn
Which way to look
Which way to turn
Try, make it your concern

You've never got the notion
You've never got the time
You never show emotion
Why don't you try, try

You have changed so much, I don't know why
Won't you give this thing a go
Now you never take the time to try
Though I wonder if you know

Which way to look
Which way to turn
You never took the time to learn
Which way to look
Which way to turn
Try, make it your concern

You've never got the notion
You've never got the time
You never show emotion
Why don't you try, try


I Will Be You (B. Canham/A. Argiro)

You spend your life here waiting
And another day goes by
But the time we fought together
Shared the laughter and the sighs

You can take a chance or two
But don't ever let this end
And our life is so enduring
You're more a brother than a friend

Time is over my friend
I'll always wait till the end

I will be you
You will be me
We'll be each other for a day
I will be you
You will be me
We'll be each other for a day

I spend my life here searching
In these walls the pain and cries
And your trust I was always testing
Yet your heart could only smile

I could never hold you here
But I can never let you go
You've been the one constant companion
And I need to let you know

But the time is over again
I'll always wait till the end

I will be you
You will be me
We'll be each other for a day
I will be you
You will be me
We'll be each other for a day


Girl (J. Leigh)

I've seen the ups and all the downs
Been through the heat and rain that comes down
Your love has made me fall to the ground

I can't see the pain I've brought to you
I've treated you like no-one would do
My love for you is always so true

I'm telling you
I can't live without you girl
I can't live on my own
I don't want to be all alone girl
I just can't live without you

You've gone away and I'm alone
You've taken everything that I own
And now I'm waiting by the phone

Somehow I don't think that you'll call
Even if I wait here forever more
I hope one day you'll knock on my door

I'm telling you
I can't live without you girl
I can't live on my own
I don't want to be all alone girl
I just can't live without you


Living In A Dream (B. Canham)

Walking in a strange light, looking at the walls
The walls are getting higher and I think they're gonna fall
They're gonna fall down over me, crush me till I scream
Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream
It's just a dream

Fear lies over me, I feel it all around
Something's looking at me and I think it's got a crown
It's not a king or a queen but something in between
Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream
It's just a dream

It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream

Wars and violence here happen every day
But I'm in another world a million miles away
It's just like real life, true life, living in a dream
But everything is better then, or that's the way it seems
It's just a dream

It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream


I Ask You Why (B. Canham/J. Leigh/A. Argiro)

Just as everything was looking good
My smile turned to a frown
And though I thought that nothing ever could
One thing got me down (down)

You never realise that what you've got
Can go so easily
You might have thought you never had a lot
But life is a lot to me

Living in happiness
Life was so fine
Then came a loneliness
I ask you why

I've learned to realise that what you get
Is only what you give
And something that I think I won't forget
There's more to life than just to live

Living in happiness
Life was so fine
Then came a loneliness
I ask you why

Many questions stare in front of me
And their answers throw my dreams
I'll keep on searching though no-one can see
For I wonder what this means

Living in happiness
Life was so fine
Then came a loneliness
I ask you why


Lonely Without You (B. Canham/J. Leigh)

One heart, one man's goal
Can't see light in another soul
Don't care for what I see
Nothing matters if this can't be

My love is an ocean away
I can hear the waves
Can you hear me pray
My love is an ocean away
I can hear the waves
Can you hear me say

My life is so lonely without you

Though we're so far apart
You're still close to my heart
Can this be what it seems
One love, one man's dream

My love is an ocean away
I can hear the waves
Can you hear me pray
My love is an ocean away
I can hear the waves
Can you hear me say

My life is so lonely without you


Lies Are Nothing (B. Canham/J. Leigh)

I never questioned you and your ways
Yet all your stories led me astray
I should've noticed
I should've known
Yet I believed you all on my own

Lies are nothing
Lies are nothing
Lies are nothing next to your truth

I still remember your precious smile
You had me playing fool for a while
I never noticed
I never knew
All that you told me never was true

Lies are nothing
Lies are nothing
Lies are nothing next to your truth


Tell Me (B. Canham/J. Leigh/V. Leigh)

Every day I see the sun shining
It doesn't mean a thing to me
Either way, I'll never stop trying
Until I am the one you seek

Suddenly my heart stops beating
Silence, not a word from you
How can I keep on waiting
Without a single tear from you

So why don't you tell me
(Tell me that you want me)
Why don't you tell me
(Tell me that you care)

Every night I see your eyes
There never is a clue for me
Is it right that you should hide
Every single thing you feel from me

Suddenly my heart stops beating
Silence, not a word from you
How can I keep on waiting
Without a single tear from you

So why don't you tell me
(Tell me that you want me)
Why don't you tell me
(Tell me that you care
