    Hand Across the Ocean  | 		
  
Every time I think of you it's like the last beat of my heart
    The memory of leaving you is tearing me apart
    No waves, no tears, no backward glance
    But I'll always hold you dear
    Never regret but I'll never forget
    'Cos there's not enough heaven here
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
    Across the waves, across the water
    Hands, across the ocean
    Ocean
And every time I'm missing you I just can't let it show
    And every time I want to cry, I just can't let it go
    Wine and song and masquerade and refuge holds me dear
    Ribbons and lace and daisy chains
    But there's not enough heaven here
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
    Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you
    Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
    Across the waves, across the water
    Hands, across the ocean
Bangles, beads and lipstick games
    And comfort holds me dear
    Velvet and lace and perfumed sheets 
    But there's not enough heaven 
    Not enough heaven here
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
    Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you
    Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
    Across the waves, across the water
    Hands, across the ocean
    Ocean
    Ocean
    Ocean
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
    Across the waves, across the water
    Hands, across the ocean 
Sometimes I feel just like Jesus Christ
    Nailed to the cross, betrayed and crucified
    A crown of thorns cutting into my skin
    A palace and a throne and a kingdom of my own
    Knights in armour and courtesans, maids in waiting with blood on
    their hands
    The king's white throne(?) can't get blood from a stone
I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
    I'm falling, into the grip of disease
Cold comfort is success and I can feel my blood freeze
    Reason with the dust and blown away by the breeze
    How cruel the stars, that shine so hard
I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
    I'm falling, into the grip of
Disease
Attend his masquerader(?) and all I ever need is the truth
    But the truth of it all is that there's no truth at all
    Like the truth of the cry from the new born child
    So why? Just tell me why, does Jesus cry?
I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
    I'm falling, into the grip of disease
    I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis
    I'm falling, into the grip of disease
Disease, disease, disease
I'm the father of a bastard child and I'm not talking about my
      daughter
      I feel that my head's on the chopping block, like a lamb being
      led
      Being led to slaughter
I close my eyes but sleep won't come and now I've got the devil
      to pay
      I'm so sick and tired of this masquerade
      How many loaves?? do you think I can bleed?
Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
      Cos together we stand but divided we fall
I lower my guns to play Russian roulette 
      But I'm too damn scared to pull the trigger
      Cos a bullet in the head would leave me dead
      And it's better to live as a rock and roll nigger
Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
      Cos together we stand but divided we fall
The monkey fights a mother(?) like a man fights himself
      And it's always a fight without a winner
      Those endless lines on the way to hell
      Cos heaven never welcomes a sinner
Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
      Cos together we stand but divided we fall
      Do you feel? Do you feel it at all?
      Cos together we stand but divided we fall

Desert rat cry me wolf
    Shedding skin upon you lips
    I pray
    For the love of madness
    for the hand that takes the grip
    And we close our eyes
    To forgive and forget
    And we close our eyes
    To forgive and forget
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
I build myself a brave asylum 
    And ask all the madmen to play host
    And when the colours all fade away
    It's time for us to give the ghost
    Give up the ghost
And we close our eyes
    To dream a while
    And we close our eyes
    To dream a while
    Dream a while
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
And while we're talking in tongeus
    Of animal behaviour
    With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat
    And done yourself a favour
    And I cry in the heat
    For the promised and given
The hand I once would trust
    Now for the love of heaven
    You won't see me
    See me for dust
And we close our eyeas
    To love again
    And we close our eyes
    To love again
    Love again
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
    With bated breath for the kingdom come
    With bated breath for the kingdom come 
I'll kiss the sleep from your eyes
    I'll kiss you when the sun goes down
    I'll kiss your until sunrise
    I'll kiss the skin from your lips
    And I'll kiss you on your fingertips
    And I'll kiss you on the back of your neck
    And I'll kiss you behind your ears
    And I'll kiss away your tears and fears
    And I'll kiss away those hurting years
    And I'll kiss away those cruel dark hours
    And I'll kiss the petals on your flower
    I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you 
    I'll kiss you until heaven sends you
I'll kiss you between your toes
    I'll kiss you on the bottom of your feet
    I'll run my tongue across your back
    I'll kiss you behind your naked knees
    I'll kiss your breast, I'll drink your milk
    I'll run my tongue between your lips
    I'll kiss you, kiss you, kiss you on your sex
    And I'll take you, take you, take you in my mouth
    And I'll kiss you, kiss you until heaven sends you 
Man seeks the wisdom of woman
    Man needs the comfort of her breast
    Like a babe in arms, a suckling child
    She keeps me safe and warm
    In pressing it on test it(?) and strong
    She stands before me naked and bare
    But woman 
    You are the sweet smile of a mystery to me
Woman reaches out across eternity
    She brings out the hope, the fear and the child
    She brings out the very essence of me
    She's the maid of heaven, she's mother of earth
    She's nature's child, she's the virgin birth
    She's my sister, she's my mother
    She's my daughter and she's my lover
    But woman, woman
    You are the sweet smile of a mystery to me 
Love is real, real is love
    Love is feeling, feeling love
    Love is wanting to be loved
    Love is touch, touch is love
    Love is reaching, reaching love
    Love is asking to be loved
    Love is you, you and me
    Love is knowing we can be
    Love is free, free is love
    Love is living, living love
    Love is needing to be loved 
There's a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart
    There's tears in my eyes, 'cos we're an ocean apart
    There's nothing quite as real as being on my own
    Nothing quite as true as being all alone
    This bird has flown 
    But when the summer has passed she'll come back home
Love, come wing your way
    Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
    Love, come wing your way
    Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me
    May you stay with me forever
With the change of seasons, she flies her nest
    And like the sun at dusk, she sets to the west
    Loneliness is the cross I bear
    Solitude is the cloak I wear
    I miss you, I need you, I love you
    When the autumn comes I'll be waiting for you
Love, come wing your way
    Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
    Love, come wing your way
    Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me
    May you stay with me forever
    Forever, forever, forever
