1. Don’t Turn Away
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©1985 Chorksongs/BMI
Don’t turn away
Things aren’t as bad as they may appear
Now don’t be afraid
You’ll find a way to cope with the fear
Don’t lose your turn ’cause you never learned
To play the game
You know you’re not to blame
Don’t turn away...
You can’t run and hide
Life has a way of tracking you down
Enjoy the ride
Accept your fate and turn it around
Don’t try to fight that inner light
From deep within
You know you’ll never win
So don’t turn away...
Open your heart
Love has a way of passing you by
It’s time to start
You’re never gonna know ’till you try
That open door you’ve waited for
Is here at last
You can forget the past
So don’t turn away
Don’t turn away
Don’t turn away
Don’t turn away...

2. You’re Dangerous
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©2002 Chorksongs/BMI
You’re dangerous and pretty as you please
Every time I look in those eyes
I end up down on my knees
I said you’re dangerous and always in control,
Every time I’m ready to rock
You’re never willing to roll
I can’t resist the way you tease
And say the things you say
I know I should be careful
But I just can’t keep away
’Cause you’re dangerous
So dangerous...
You’re dangerous and Lord, I’m sinking fast
I’m worried ’bout the future
’Cause I’m always getting stuck in the past
I said you’re dangerous
I should have known from the start
That despite my best intentions
I would end up with a broken heart
’Cause you’re dangerous...
So dangerous...
I said you’re dangerous...
So dangerous...

3. She Loves To Be In Love
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©1987 Chorksongs/BMI
She’s a quicksilver girl, a queen in her glory
Spends her life in a whirl,
’Cause she’s the star in every true-love story
Never follows a fashion
Always livin’ in make-believe
She’s a slave to her passion
And wears her heart on her sleeve
’Cause she loves to be in love
She loves to be in love
She loves to be in love
She loves to be in love
In her world of romance
It’s all hearts and flowers
She falls in love at a glance
Then she’ll just fantasize for hours and hours
Gets so lost in the future
Doesn’t deal with the here and now
It’s not hard to see through her
Once you understand how
She loves to be in love
She loves to be in love
She loves to be in love
She loves to be in love
I remember a time before I found her
When I knew love was blind
But now I find my world turns all around her
Once the torch is ignited
You will see there’s no turning back
It’s no use trying to fight it
The way she has the deck stacked
’Cause she loves to be in love
She loves to be in love...

4. Good Friday
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©1972 Chorksongs/BMI
You’re jaded, it’s not my cross to bear
The feeling is something we both share
I can’t see what sane men see
In women of the cloth
He goes ’round and dazzles them
Like fire to a moth
A beautiful girl is like a song
And usually they last about that long
I just hope when you head back
With sunshine on your face
It’s before the Main Man
Has destroyed the human race
I love you, that’s all there is to say
I’d like to think you feel the very same way
This is just a courtin’ song
The message ain’t too deep
I hope that what there is of it
Sinks in while you’re asleep

5. What In The World
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©2004 Chorksongs/BMI
Looking back on the days of my youth
So young, no way of knowing the truth
About the way we are
We think we’ve come so far
On this small shooting star
Hatred, without any reason or rhyme
Maybe, it’s just a matter of time
Before we see the light
And try with all our might
To love and not to fight
(Please tell me)
What in the world are we doing
Treating each other this way?
There’s always more trouble brewing
What will it bring us today...today?
When will we ever learn?
Will we just crash and burn?
The point of no return?
When will we see the light
And try with all our might
To love and not to fight
(So please tell me)
What in the world are we doing
Treating each other this way?
There’s always more trouble brewing
What will it bring us today?
What in the world are we thinking
Tearing our planet apart?
All of our options are shrinking
There’s still time to make a new start
A new start
A new start...

6. Fly Away
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©1970/1977 Chorksongs/BMI
Lately my visions are oft’ times enhanced
Offering solutions to problems we’ve chanced
Sooner or later, despite what it seems
All of us bend ’neath the weight of our dreams
Fly away, in my heart stay
Till you come back with eyes shining clear
To live for the moment, to love without fear
Life is a gameboard, it’s course without plan
Let’s play it together, we’ll move where we can
You’re my friend, I’m your friend,
We’re lovers as such
Please don’t forget this
It means so damn much
Fly away, in my heart stay
Till you float back as bright as the sun
Returning to finish the race almost run

7. In The Mourning
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©1970/1979 Chorksongs/BMI
In the mourning, when the dead walk the earth
Comes the dawning of the day of rebirth
Watch it happen, yes, reserve a good seat
For that moment when the tides of time meet
In the mourning
In the mourning
In the mourning, when the null joins the void
Without warning, it will all be destroyed
Endless androids with their minds in their laps
Crawling towards you, drooling,
Begging for scraps
In the mourning,
In the mourning
No more choices, thought becomes a disease
Distant voices chanting strange melodies
Bid farewell to family, lovers and friends
They rip your heart out
Where the screams never end
In the mourning
In the mourning...

8. You Have No Heart
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©2002 Chorksongs/BMI
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Out of sight and out of mind
Over, sideways, down and under
Now I know you’re not that kind
You have no heart
You have no heart
Been a while since we last parted
You can run but you can’t hide
Found out you were evil-hearted
Hard to stop the rising tide
You have no heart
You have no heart
Don’t know what to do about you
Just know I won’t be the same
Don’t think I could live without you
Even with your little games
You have no heart
You have no heart

9. Home
Words and music by Jon Tuttle
©1970
Wouldn’t you like to go home?
Wouldn’t you love to see your friends again?
Wouldn’t you love to be home?
Get back and see all the people
You grew up with...
Don’t you oft’ recall the glory of the seasons?
The loveliness of fall, the colors you believe in?
And weren’t you ever young
And fall down in the snow?
Or fly a kite in spring
And watch the heavens blow?
When you’re older and you’ve got to go
Leaving home for life unknown
No matter how far you go or what you do
You’ll find that home’s a part of you
Wouldn’t you love to be home?
Wouldn’t you like to see your friends again?
Wouldn’t you love being home?
Get back and see all the people
You grew up with...
Christmas time at home
New Year’s revolution
The world is yours alone
And all your youthful memories
And didn’t you often smile
When summer came upon you
Laughing all the while
Your home gets fastened to you
When you’re older and you’ve got to go
Leaving home for parts unknown
No matter how far you go or what you do
You’ll find that home’s a part of you
Wouldn’t you love to be home?
Wouldn’t you love to see your friends again?
Wouldn’t you like being (love to be) home?
Get back and see all the people
You grew up with...

10. When You Met Your Maker
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©2004 Chorksongs/BMI
What were you feeling
When your time had run out?
Were you swayed by the visions
Or riddled with doubt?
Did you stop to consider
What you’d end up without?
When you met your maker
When you met your maker
What about family?
What about friends?
What about travelling
The road ’till it ends?
What about sorrow
That time cannot cleanse?
When you met your maker
When you met your maker
I know you believed
That the Lord would provide
That somehow, He’d heal up
The sadness inside
But it seems we were all
Dragged along for the ride
When you met your maker
When you met your maker
When you met your maker

11. Time and Place
Words and music by Eric Bergman
©1985 Chorksongs/BMI
There’s a crack in paradise
That always follows right behind us
And when it’s time to pay the price
It somehow widens to remind us
Oh, don’t tell me that it’s just the way it goes
Don’t ask me ’bout the hands of fate
Don’t you see that the only one who knows
Won’t say
We’ll have to wait
Never forget rule number one
Always expect the unexpected
And after all is said and done
You’ll find that no one is protected
So, don’t tell me that it’s just the way it goes
Don’t ask me how the game is played
Don’t you see that the only one who knows
Won’t say
We’ll have to wait
Don’t tell me that it’s just the way it goes
Don’t ask me how the choice is made
Don’t you see that the only one who knows
Won’t say
We’ll have to wait
And when you came to say goodbye
I realize that I was dreaming
Although I choked on my reply
I think I understand the meaning
In another time and place
Before existence seemed so senseless
We were counting on God’s grace
How could he leave us so defenseless
Oh, don’t tell me that it’s just the way it goes
Don’t ask me how he picks his prey
Don’t you see that the only one who knows
Won’t say
He won’t say
We’ll have to wait
