I Might Have Been Queen
I'm a new pair of eyes
every time I am born
an original mind
because I just died
and I'm scanning the horizon
for someone recognising
that I might have been queen
For every sun that sets
there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed
there is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise
I have ridden each tide
from the gates of the city
where the first born died
I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
but the river won't stop for me
No, the river won't stop for me
I look up to the stars
with my perfect memory
I look through it all
and my future's no shock to me
I look down and I'm there in history
I'm a soul survivor
I'm a new pair of eyes
an original mind
with my senses of old
and the heart of a giant
Now I'm searching through the wreckage
for some great recollection
that I might have been queen
For every sage that falls
there is an ancient child
I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
but the river won't stop for me
No, the river won't stop for me
I look up to the stars
with my perfect memory
I look through it all
and my future's no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to the stars
till I find my destiny
I look up to my past
my spirit running free
I look down, I look down
and I'm there in history
I'm a soul survivor
Soul survivor on the river
but it won't stop for me
I'm a soul survivor, on the river
but it won't stop for me

I'll be Thunder
There'll be a storm ona night
then l will fly to you for shelter
soaked in welcome rain
falling to forbidden arms
too breathless, too helpless, too restless to explain
needing you ~
there'll be a storm one night
but you will find my place of hiding
we'll watch the lights like children
leave the fortress hand in hand
I'll be thunder
you'll be lightening
and we'll collide on dry land --
there'll be a storm one night
and l will find no other rescue
lost and far from home
crying for some guiding light
too reckless, too helpless, too hungry to refrain
(from) needing you
there'll be a storm one night
the wind will drive me to your castle
and you'll ignite the fire
Just as (if) everything were planned
I'll be thunder
you'll be lightening
and we'll collide on dry land ---
no betrayal
no denial, no need to explain
we'll collide
By Jeannette Therese Obstoj and Rupert Hine
Bold and Reckless
So you think
you've got a hold on me
But did you ever
Well that's your fantasy
I'll miss you when you go, but
no pain will show
I'm free to search and go my way
So bold ..... so bold and reckless
I suppose
you have been good to me
May be not enough
to rock my sanity
You never answered questions
and you never understood
I'm free to search and go my way
So bold ..... so bold and reckless
So bold ..... so bold and reckless
I can't live in a cage
I've got to be free
Dancing and flying away
But you are always in my dreams ... running
But you are always in my dreams ... running
So we've been
getting closer by degrees
But you will never
bring me to my knees
You'll never make me shy
and you won't see me cry
I'm still free to go my way
So bold ..... so bold and reckless
So bold ..... so bold and reckless
By Jeannette Therese Obstoj and Rupert Hine
Break Every Rule
Every road that I walk
Eevery single flight I ever take
Though I'm thousands of miles away
In my mind every journey leads me closer to you
I've been all around this world
I've been in far too many states
But I'm under your spell
I've made my mistakes, oh, you can probably tell
You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you, I'm in love with you
I'm gonna break every rule
I hope you can forgive
Every white lie I'm forced to tell
They say that everything's fair in love and in war
And I'm not above cheating for you
One night I'll catch you off your guar
And you will finally fall so hard
Strategically speaking I'm already beaten
I'll surrender to you
You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing l've every seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you, I'm in love with you
I'm going to break every rule
(refrain)
And every road that I walk
And every flight that I ever take
And every dream that I dream
Every Journey brings me closer
By Jeannette Therese Obstoj and Rupert Hine
Eyes Like Twins
I recognised that smile
our winter was oh so cold
you wore your mysterious glow
just like a child
No careless words were said
we spoke with eyes instead
we looked into each other like long lost friends.
- then you flew away
like a migrant bird
you had a summer haunt
you said the ice would kill
but you would not be caught
We have eyes like twins
where your last thought ends
my next begins
always just one heart beat away
from everything I mean to say
Oh, catch me I'm falling like you
wish for me I'll come running to save you
touch me, I'm calling for you
remember me
I will never betray you
we have eyes like twins
I slept a thousand hours
my heart felt as cold as a coward's
you sent your southern breeze
just like a forest fire
I heard those voices too
I dreamed each dream with you
We breathed as one together, and we shed our tears
but then I woke with you
and my dream came true
I'll never hold you here
I know that every winter
you must disappear ...
We have eyes like twins
where your last thought ends
my next begins
always just one heart beat away
from everything I mean to say
Oh, catch me I'm falling like you
wish for me I'll come running to save you
touch me, I'm calling for you
remember me
I will never betray you
we have eyes like twins
I see red when you're in danger
I see blue when you are crying
at the pictures you believe
you are no stranger.
We have eyes like twins
where your last thought ends
my next begins
always just one heart beat away
from everything I mean to say
Oh, catch me I'm falling like you
wish for me I'll come running to save you
touch me, I'm calling for you
remember me
I will never betray you
we have eyes like twins

Arrested By You
What is this strange elation
taking my train of thought to an unknown
destination
Suddenly I don't know where I am
but like a tremor or a spark
Something's happening in my heart
I've been arrested by you
Take me in
Finally captured by you, by you,
by you
Take me in
You've broken my concentration
Saving me just in time from a desperate
situation
Suddenly I don't know who I am
but my dilemma's where to start
Something's happening in my heart
I've been arrested by you
Take me in
Finally captured by you, by you,
by you
Take me in
... I have no defence and you won't relent

Secret Separation
We are passengers in time
lost in motion, locked together
day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
we must meet with other names
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me, now free me
Don't watch me cry, just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings
you will ever know
There will be no more isolation
in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me ...
We are passengers in time
lost in motion, locked together
day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
we must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me
Be brave ...
There will be no more isolation
in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me ...
We are matching spark and flame
caught in endless repetition
Life for life we'll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you only to love you
in another life
There will be no more isolation
in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me ...
I'll bare one precious scar that only you will know again

Woman On A Train
Pictures chase across the ceiling
as I try to sleep at night
There's a voice inside my darkness
laughing at the life I've lost
She's no girl on pills in limbo
She's a woman on a train
With her senses sharpened by the warning cold
she brings me to memory
She flashed her lights, her mission bites
She flashed her lights
across my desert mind - (Still no change in me)
She's no girl on pills in limbo
She's a woman on a train
She's here ...
The woman on a train
And I will speak no words
but truth for her to hear
Hold her close ... but never dare
She's no girl on pills in limbo
She's a woman on a train
She's here ...
The woman on a train
She will speak for us both
She will speak for us all
till I learn to care ...
She'll override my best intention
attack my weak deception
A friend for life and after
I'll never catch her off her guard
Jeannette Therese Obstoj
One Jungle
The sailor walks across the ocean
unsafe on waves of glass
Any time dark skies can open
could perish at the mast
His stomach burns
the potion answers
combing the earth
for what it's worth
lifting each sea stone
Money comes
and money goes
but man must have a home
Hunter in his leafy temple
monkeys sing the lions ride
Jungle tempting with example
his gun is always by his side
the traitor seeks to be his friend
The flesh he seeks
walks soft to hide
beneath the mountain
lies the bone
Money comes
and money goes
but man must have a home
Returning then to beds to waste
echo sorry stories told
Beginning with the end
and how the jungle rights were sold
Astronaut on travelled plan
searching for the other man
The looking glass
in his right hand
just a plastic pawn
Glancing backwards
through a goldfish bowl
in pill bunk light
he sleeps alone
Money comes and money goes
but man must have a home
Jeannette Therese Obstoj
