Lyrics:
Lost at Sea c. Paula Punch
In the soft moonlight
You draw me near
and with every nervous breath…
should I – be here?
Well I, I’ve have seen the world
I’ve crossed the golden gate
Now the race is run
I pray it’s not too late.
Is it wrong to want to stay
To let you steal a kiss
Oh why am I afraid
To ask for -----more than this?
Or is it just the night time darling
That makes us fall?
Or is it just the music baby
that shakes and crawls?
Well you, were meant for me
And I come willingly
‘Cause you are the tide
And I am lost at sea.
Ch: Is it wrong to want to stay
To let you steal a kiss
Why am I afraid
to ask for -----more than this?
In the soft moonlight
Love came to me,
And with every nervous breath
My heart is lost at sea.

Lyrics:
Fire in the Hull c Paula Punch
Sometimes don’t you feel like screaming?
Shouting---- “there’s a fire in the hull”!
Somedays it too hard --to keep believing
When every step you take - just makes you fall.
Sleep baby sleep
let the raging storm outside, just float away….
And Dream darling dream—
That everything is gonna be alright
And love will find a way - to us -tonight.
Ah – Ah Ah -ah Ah – Ah Ah -ah
Remember how we’d soak up the sunshine
Leaving all the darkness far behind
Somewhere along the way, we lost the wonder.
And now there’s only sorrow on your mind.
Sleep baby sleep
let the raging storm outside, just float away….
And Dream darling dream—
Maybe everything is gonna be alright
And love will find a way
.
And love will find a way - to us -tonight.
Ah – Ah Ah -ah
Ah – Ah Ah -ah
Ah – Ah Ah -ah
Ah – Ah Ah -ah.

Full Moon Rising c P.Punch
…There is a full moon rising
…There’s a storm on its way
And there’s no doubt no denying
We’ll have to fight another day another day another day.
…Their eyes are on the gold horizon
While others struggle by the sea
And I’m still living under cover
Calling you to come to me, come to me, come to me, come to me.
And this full moon won’t last forever
The tide keeps rolling in,
I don’t want this night to be over
Cause I don’t know if we will shine again- shine again
…Last time you saw me I was older
Now I’m lightning on the shore
Though these hands are getting warmer
They can’t hold you anymore
And this full moon won’t last forever
The tide keeps rolling in,
I don’t want this night to be over
Cause I don’t know if we will shine again- shine again.

Lyrics:
We Fall Apart c. Paula Punch
Am I in a hole? Am I in the sun?
Am I in control? Am I on the run?
Am I who I want to be?
Should I know?
Can you understand where I’m leading to?
I could take your hand if you want me to.
But you would leave me standing every time….
Just hanging on that line…….
It’s in the wind, it’s in my heart,
It’s in the way, we fall apart,
And don’t tell me I’m just blue….
Deep inside that hole, a new life has begun.
I think I found my soul, though my heart’s undone.
We have tasted love and tasted fear,
we came so near…..
It’s in the wind, it’s in my heart,
It’s in the way, we fall apart,
And don’t tell me I’m just blue….
Don’t tell me I’m just blue….
don’t tell me I’m just blue….oh…oh … oh ………….
I should say a prayer for the love we lost
There’s no time to spare, and we shouldn’t count the cost
I want to face the sun and face the moon……
In full bloom…….
In full bloom…….
It’s in the wind, it’s in my heart,
It’s in the way, we fall apart,
And don’t tell me I’m just blue….
It’s in the wind, it’s in my heart,
It’s in the way, we fall apart,
And don’t tell me I’m just blue…..oh ….
It’s not true
It’s just you.

Tender Moment by Paula Punch
She’s cranky and tired - She doesn’t get much sleep
Quite frankly if she were hired - It’s not a job she’d like to keep
And there’s not much room for romance - For this mother of two
The chores are never-ending - And the hours too few
But a tender moment - And her hearts laid bare
A soft word spoken – She knows why she’s there.
She juggles the books - And there are papers to chase
As she struggles with her looks - There are lines to face
And sometimes when he’s unhappy - He takes out on her
She finds it hard to remember – just the way they were.
But a tender moment - And her hearts laid bare
A soft word spoken – She knows why she’s there.
She thinks about the good times when she was young and free
And she still dreams of travelling – and the star she thought she’d be.
Another dinner gone cold – he’s forgotten to phone
Crying baby to hold – another evening alone
But a tender moment - And her hearts laid bare
A soft word spoken – She knows why she’s there.
… And her hearts laid bare
A tender moment – She knows why she’s there.

Song to the Trees c Paula Punch
Well, I feel like a mess, every day
Got to get up and get dressed And seize today
But I ... just want to sleep
Yesterday came, Yesterday went
And so did your love- thought it was heaven sent
But where did it go – this Love
Where did it go …my love
But when I dream I…
I Fly through the trees
Sing with the birds
Shooting the breeze… I’m one with the world
I fall like the rain
& Roll like a stone ---Gone is the pain
& I start over again; over again.
(You’ve driven me mad …howling at night
It’s never been hid, Those things that weren’t right
But I never gave up, I never gave in
where is the love -how do I begin?) -Omitted in this final mix.
See me glow, watch me fly
With songs of love -my battle cry
Where is the love,
where is the love?
And when I dream I…
I Fly through the trees
Sing with the birds
Shooting the breeze- I’m one with the world
I fall like the rain
& Roll like a stone ---gone is the pain
& I start over again
& I start over again
& I start over again
& I start over again
& I start over again

I’m Not Perfect c PPunch
The cat is on the prowl
the grass is getting dry…
The fridge is smelling foul
and the laundry pile is high.
Well, I have tried to be
more than I could be
I don’t know what you see.
when you stand in front of me.
There’s not much to understand,
We’re all doing the best that we can….
To get by…
I’m not perfect
But you make me feel brand new….
I’m not perfect
But I feel perfect with you.
Now the lines are getting deep
& these flaws are here to stay
And the wine is getting cheap
and the fear won’t go away….
Now I’ve put you the shelf
Like some old photograph…
& I’m drinking to our health
& how you made me laugh?
There’s not much to understand,
We’re all doing the best that we can….
To find love….
I’m not perfect
But you made me feel brand new….
I’m not perfect
But I feel perfect with you.

When I'm With You

Lyrics:
When I’m with you. c Paula Punch
As you speak, my knees go weak
You catch me as I fall
Maybe tonight, it will be alright
To give my heart to you.
The music plays - I have no fear
When I’m with you. …When I’m with you.
Clouds break and now I’m awake
Lying here with you
As the ground shakes -there’s no mistake
it’s not a dream – it’s true.
It’s like we’re floating amongst the stars
But I don’t care where we are
And I feel like dancing till the day is done
when I’m with you…when I’m with you.
As we dance, the world disappears
And everything alright.
The band keeps playing, from far away
When I’m with you…… When I’m with you.
Now close your eyes and drift away
Far from the earth below
No alibis no sweet goodbyes
If you believe – it’s so
It’s like we’re floating amongst the stars
and I don’t care where we are
Cause I’ll be dancing till the day is done
when I’m with you…when I’m with you.
when I’m with you…when I’m with you.

Coming Round c. Paula Punch
I know you love me but you can’t decide,
Should you run or swallow your pride?
I hear you pacing outside my door,
Well, c’mon babe, you’ll burn a hole in my floor.
I knew you’d be coming round.
I could see it in your eye.
C’mon baby let’s turn it around,
Give love another try!
Boy, you were mad when you slammed that door.
Swore you’d never be back for more.
It didn’t matter just who was wrong,
I knew you couldn’t stay away too long.
I knew you’d be coming round.
I could see it in your eye.
Well, c’mon baby let’s turn it around,
And give love another try…
I wasn’t worried when you didn’t call
I didn’t panic - I just climbed the walls!
C’mon babe just ring my bell,
All this tension makes me feel like hell.
I’ll say I’m sorry … you’ll say I’m right,
but darling can’t we just do it tonight!
I knew you’d be coming round.
I could see it in your eye.
C’mon baby let’s turn it around -
Give love another try.
I knew you’d be coming round.
I could see it in your eye.
C’mon baby let’s turn it around -
And give love another try!

Firefly c Paula Punch
Don’t stand so close,
Don’t look my way
Don’t breathe too hard
You may blow me away
Just keep dancing on
As the ground falls from our feet
Like fireflies
in the night sky
Don’t stay too long
I may not let you go
I should be strong
Not let my feelings show
Just keep playing along
As the ground falls from our feet
Like fireflies
in the night sky
You make me feel like that girl I knew
High on the wire
Stepping out on top of the world,
Her heart on fire
Don’t break my fall
We may not come apart
And I’d have to run
to hide this beating heart
So Just keep holding on
As the ground falls from our feet
Like fireflies
In the night sky
Like fireflies
In this landslide
Da Da Da….

OPEN THE GATE P.PUNCH '17
Over the hill and round the sun
Open the gate I’m gonna run
I’m meeting someone before the sun goes
I have no cares - have no shame
I won’t play those silly games
You used to scold me - now you fold me …….
---Say goodbye close that door
open wide your heart
Down the line and through the years
Over the valleys, the rivers of fear
I am the fighter don’t hold me tighter
Feel like a child on my own
Dancing wild & overthrown
By guilty playtime in warmest sunshine
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
Say goodbye close the door
open wide your heart…
So much more than I’d conceived
I had a dream and who would believe
It’d all come true, we all came through
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
Say goodbye closed that door
& open wide your heart.
