Does It Matter
That's How The Whole Thing Started

As the time slips through your fingers
Till it's almost time to go
And the morning breaks between us
And the ice melts into snow.
I'm alright loving you, I'm alright loving you

(Chorus)
Love and other bruises didn't have to choose us
But it did and I'm alive and I'm trying to survive
Love and other bruises makes us all good losers
I can't help it talking loud it's because I'm on a cloud.

Won't you please take me home
Won't you please please take me home
I'm so mixed up over you, I don't want to be alone.
I'm alright loving you, I'm alright loving you

(Chorus)

What A Life (5:03)
(Graham Russell)

Love comes to everyone some are weak some strong
I'm not strong today
They've took her back, brought the curtain down
What can I do now, I'm afraid, I'm afraid to think about it.

(Chorus)
What a life, it gets better as it goes along
What a life, it gets better as it goes along

I've been in love, I've been left standing till I said is that what I want,
Oh no there's got to be another smile on my face
I don't care about the money I make or what it can do
I'm alive and that's what's important to me
I don't need someone to tell me you'll get along, you'll get along
Who to please and who to watch over me

(Chorus - twice)

There's an old man been calling me for a long time
I'm never able to get his face off my mind
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy, take it easy.
What a life, what a life

(Chorus)

He always said to me take it easy take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy, will come easy
What a life, what a life,

(Repeat Chorus)

Feel The Breeze (3:53)
(Graham Russell)

Since I met you how can I notice if the sky is blue or grey
Here I am standing outside looking into a cloudy day
This must be the time for reflection, my direction is not quite clear,
Now I feel the air is colder
Now I feel that winter's here.

(Chorus)
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter (Repeat)

I feel the breeze I feel dejected
I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong
Winter's here and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun you cast a shadow, now I lead my lonely role.

(Chorus)

I feel the breeze, I feel dejected
I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong
Winter's here and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun you cast a shadow, now I lead my lonely role.

(Chorus)

Who Will Love Me Now (4:36)
(Graham Russell)

(Chorus)
Who will love me now
Who will love me now
Who will love me now
Who will love me now

Well I tried to give up
Walking the streets when I was with you
Snug as a bug in a rug
Never been so alone thinking about you

(Chorus)

Trying on my own
But living alone is one thing I can never do
I could end it all now
But I'm not that crazy

(Chorus)

Oh I need all the love
that you once used to give me
Words are never enough
Now you can't be with me
I need all the love
But who will take my hand and show me how
Who will love me now

Waiting home by myself
Believing so much you'd walk through the door
And tell me you think I'm a fool
But you won't do that now
You've done it so often

(Chorus)

Trying on my own
But living alone is one thing I can never do
I could end it all now
But I'm now that crazy

(Chorus)

Oh I need all the love
that you once used to give me
Words are never enough
Now you can't be with me
I need all the love
But who will take my hand and show me how
Who will love me now

Do It Again (4:04)
(Graham Russell)

I used to watch you walk away, 'Til the road you take would bend
I was the man to turn you on and you knew it after all
Come tomorrow when I'm all weary, you would turn me down again
At least that's the way I can remember

Do it again, do it again, Do it again
Do it again, do it again, Do it again

Every single word you told me got home, I'm still thinking about them
Every little secret we should have known and we can't live without them
You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again, do it again, Do it again
Do it again, do it again, Do it again

And I do think about you each now and then and each time it gets tighter
From the road I can see the last break and my head's getting lighter
You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again, do it again, Do it again

You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again, do it again, Do it again
Do it again, do it again, Do it again

The End Of The Line (4:15)
(Graham Russell)

This will take some understanding
I believe someone is sending
Love to us and everyone who cares to take a gamble sometimes
Think of me I've given all I can
Stretched an arm and open hand to you so never say no

(Chorus)
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

You I need, always needed
Don't turn back for any reason
First we talk and then we fall headfirst into each others thinking
Please be where I'll always see you
Life is short
The twinkle of an eye is all we have until we say

(Chorus)

Take me away, take me away, take me away

Do you dream fantasy and believe what you see is weird
I need a remedy or a book to get off this fear
All I wanted to know is how do I get the truth from here
We play so small a part, but we started from somewhere

All the friends that I can think of
Know what's going to happen to them
If they don't think on today and plan ahead for their tomorrow
Here we are just lucky children
Breaking out of the shell
I'll take your hand today and love you 'til we reach

The end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line

Take me away, take me away, take me away

That's the end of the line(repeat and fade

Ready For You (4:17)
(Graham Russell)

Painted sands and makeshift hands take us round and round
Horizon clear, you'll soon be near and walking on the ground
I've been round the corner sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border, we can float into the night

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you

Cloudy Sky the wind is high and trying to break the spell
But I'll be here when you appear and see the night as well
A feeling's not a feeling if you can't believe it's true
I'd sooner be believing 'til the ship comes sailing thru'

(Chorus)

Shifting sea, believe in me and bring this boat to home
I've waited long, my heart is strong and faithful to it's own
My eyes won't start their sleeping, 'Til they see the face of love
There's so much I've been keeping and I've kept it long enough

(Chorus)

Oh, I'm ready for you - (repeat and fade)

Empty Pages (4:17)
(Graham Russell)

When you're out in front and your life is unsure
What have you got goin' for you after every road you turn
It's magic when you tell me and run your fingers through my hair
I don't need your persuasion, cos I'm already there

I've just read it through and I said to myself
That's not really you, I'll keep myself to myself
It's magic when you tell me and write the words I want to see
When I reach the last line, it's just empty for me

I've been learning so long about the things you do
I've been learning so long about you, about you

(Chorus)
Empty pages I've read you all through
Empty pages filled with spaces, I fell in and I fell in
Empty pages I've read you all through
Empty pages filled with spaces, I fell in and I fell in.

Does It Matter (4:42)
(Graham Russell)

Does it matter if you're not sure
You're never gonna see him anymore
He's gone for good

You might get mad at yourself
For doing your very best, you can't do nothing else baby
You've done the best you can

There's been good times
You know there have been reasons
You still don't say you want somebody else
You want somebody else

I'm giving you just one more chance
To recompense on my romance
Can't believe

There's been good times
You know there have been reasons
You still don't say you want somebody else
You want somebody else

I'm gonna stay with you baby
Yes I will
Stay with you baby
Yes I will
(repeat)

That's How The Whole Thing Started (5:19)
(Graham Russell)

I feel just like your love tonight, so who's to say I'm wrong
I've got to say I feel just right, It's never been so strong

There seems so many points to make, but I feel this is a big mistake
We're so old and this is new but I've really got to tell you
I always said that we should remain free but that was up to you and not to me
I started strong but I've met someone, you know how long it's been

(Chorus)
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started
(repeat)

Baby baby it's wrong, but I've been in and out of love so long
Here we stand not more than friends, I broke your heart again
Sit down with me, and we can talk about it peacefully
We're under the strain of a losing game
That's how it must be

(Chorus)

I feel just like your love tonight, so who's to say I'm wrong
I've got to say I feel just right, It's never been so strong
