THE SIGNS
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
I don’t know where I am
the view is unfamiliar
and from where I stand
nothing’s looking quite as it should be
I thought I’d been here before
I clearly have the memory
now I can be sure
maybe in the morning
can’t you see the signs
telling us to turn here
we’ll be fine once again
someone will help us find our way
where are the sounds I know
the air is thick and heavy
is this the path we chose
is this where the directions say to be
have I paid close enough
attention to the details
do I know myself
there seem a lot of questions

MY ONE & ONLY
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
oh my one and only
I feel you in my heart tonight
oh my one and only
this music couldn’t be more right
how I’ve longed to stop and tell you
the meaning of the mood portrayed these days
for I haven’t got my head around
the fact you chose to walk away
oh my one and only
I hear your whispers in my ear
oh my one and only
the shadows play their tricks around here
I catch myself while turning
a mouth full of words to say each day
for I haven’t got my head around
the fact you chose to walk away
I recognize the mood I’m in
I wake to find myself here every now and then
oh my one and only
I feel you in my heart tonight
the evening sky is lonely
yet offers an appealing light
I find myself wishing you
happiness on this day
each day
for I know I’ll get my head around
the fact you chose to walk away

FOOL IN LOVE
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
I’ve been dazed
the living room’s been rearranged
and it’s cold outside
hey, won’t you sit down and stay a while
are you alright
did you mean what you were saying last night
for it touched me so
why is it always so hard to let you know
they’re calling me sensitive
but I’m finding it hard give
all that I felt would surely come
to such a fool in love
I’m confused
still trying to digest the news
as the focus clears
you always happen to be standing near
so tonight
I figure that we should do things right
throw our fears away
light up a candle let’s celebrate

IN THE EYES OF YOU
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive
maybe a look upon a face
to help me feel that much stronger
for I have held on to a smile once shared
when my heart revealed the truth
of how it feels about you
well I know in all the years gone by
there hasn’t been a day I’ve not tried as I walk
always in the eyes of you
take the moment that a bird first flies
or when the sun reveals a rock
that simply need turning over
there’s a gift within each day gone by
with each passing on the street
there’s a chance to be true

SHARING THE NIGHT
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
I’d like to welcome you here
the evening’s show is drawing near
I’m just thrilled to see you all chose to be
sharing the night with us
we’ve a show for you tonight
that is sure to bring delight
we’ve come all this way, arriving today
traveling on the bus
won’t you join me in welcoming our guest
he’s glad to be here and sure to do his best
and he’s yours for the rest of the night
I know you’ve all been waiting
for the chance to hear him sing
it was months ago you heard of the show
marking the date in pen
now the evening has arrived
and the room is packed tight
as the lighting fades you turn to the stage
finally the show begins

PHONE BOOTH
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
I’m standing in a phone booth
somewhere below the border
and city lights flash around my head
they’re keeping these sleepy fears awake
my laughter’s sounding different
my mind is always far away
and somehow these days are passing by
like cars on the interstate
and I’m trying to call you
and you’re always on my mind
and there is this weight that I’m trying to understand
following me around
I’m standing in a phone booth
alone amidst the laughter
and I’m finding it hard to hear your words
each day they seem farther away

SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)
music & lyrics by Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart
sweet dreams are made of this
who am I to disagree
travel the world and the seven seas
everybody's looking for something
some of them want to use you
some of them want to get used by you
some of them want to abuse you
some of them want to be abused
hold your head up, Keep your head up,
hold your head up, Keep your head up,
hold your head up, movin' on
keep your head up, movin' on
hold your head up, movin' on

AWAY TOO LONG
music & lyrics by Kevin Fox
I’m moving back to the city
hoping to catch my break
I’ve been down this road before and made mistakes
I’m hoping this time will be different
hoping my time has come
It’s a dream I’ve had forever and I’m not done
I’ve been away too long
must get back to where I belong
I’ve been waiting far long enough
I’ve heard it a hundred times
how I’ve got to leave this behind
but I know I’m a diamond in the rough
I know there’ve been many before me
trying to make their way
It’s a crowded street to walk on any day
there’s one more chance to be taken
one more time to shine
and I’m going down this road to make it mine
I’ve been away too long
must find the strength to go on
‘cause I’ve waited far long enough
I’ve heard it a hundred times
how I’ve got to leave this behind
but I know I’m a diamond in the rough
