Walk You Home
I Found It

Funny Way

You've got a funny way of showing that you care,
It's strange the way you go about it.
You've got to find a way of prooving that you're there,
Before I begin to doubt it.

Count the hours,
Question Everything,
For the record.

You got the final say, no matter what I do,
It's hard to turn the other cheek,
You've got a funny way of telling me goodbye,
Your car is idling as we speak.

Count the hours,
Question Everything,
For the record.

Count the hours,
Question Everything.

I come running with open arms,
I come running with everything I own,
Cos I'm not made of stone.

You've got a funny way of showing that you care,
You've got to find a way of prooving that you're there.
Funny way,
Funny way,
Funny way,
Funny way.

Funny way, funny way, funny way, funny way.

Strangeness And Charm

Written By Tim Finn and Neil Finn.
What you are is no more than strangeness and charm,
Yeah, thats what you are.
Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are.
Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are.

You and I we circle each other,
The truth is a powerful magnet,
And beauty draws you into her dragnet,
Then she sets you free.

Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are,
Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are.

We can't separate 'cause we annihilate,
Fortune and favour come too late.
Break down the pieces until you're left
With nothing else.

Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are,
Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are.

As the particles of flying dust go by,
A hundred billion million atoms,
I don't think I want to know,
What you are is no more than strangeness and charm,
What you need is to share the air that Einstein breathes,
What you are is not more than strangeness and charm.

I think I want to know,
I don't think I want to know,
I don't think I want to know.

Strangeness and charm,
That's what you are,
Come on and share it with me,
Share it with me.

Walk You Home

You are used to confrontation,
But the day will soon come,
When you need shoulder.
I will make it easy for you,
Point you to the shoreline,
I'll be there to walk you home.

Whenever you can't go on,
If there's phantoms in the twilight,
I'll be there to walk you home.

You'll need travelling companions,
When you're feeling half-hearted,
Searching for a way through.
Lets go to the lava river,
Rising up from a cold earth,
I'll be there to walk you home.

When you're tired of going it alone,
In a strange and silent quarter,
I'll be there to walk you home.
Whenever you can't go on,
If there's phantoms in the twilight,
I'll be there beside you.

When the days drag on too long,
When your strong resolve is broken,
Resistance merely token,
I'll be there beside you.
When the night comes crashing down,
Stars will fall and sky will thunder,
You'll hesitate and blunder,
I'll be there to walk you home.

I'll walk you home,
I'll walk you home,
If you'll let me,
I'll walk you home.
 - I don't know,
 - I don't know about that.
I'll keep you company.
 - No, I dont think so.
I'll walk you home.
Whenever you can't go on,
If there's phantoms in the twilight,
I'll be there to walk you home.
When you're tired of going it alone,
In a strange and silent quarter,
I'll be there to walk you home.
I'll walk you home.
I'll walk you, I'll walk you home.
I'll walk you home.

I Found It

In the end it all depends on you,
No matter what you're going through,
There's always going to be more than one point of view.

Yes I did, I finally found it,
Kept it hidden from myself for so long,
I finally found it, yes I did.

Yes I did, I finally found it,
Kept it hidden from myself for so long,
I finally found it, yes I did.

Yes I did, I finally found it,
Kept it hidden from myself for so long,
I finally found it, yes I did.

For every wave upon the beach,
I want to ride a wave with you,
For every starfish in the sea,
I want to swim away.

Yes I did, I finally found it,
Been searching for so long, but I've finally found it now,
And I'm never gonna lose it,
Yes I did.

I finally found it.
