LYRICS:
(Music and Lyrics © 2013: Farrington - Brooks)

Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?

VERSE 1:
That lost look on your face
There is no disgrace
My words seem to fall
Around this empty space
I've tried to look for clues
It's neither win or lose
Your heart will not turn
And according to you

I don't want to be there when you take the path less worn
Though I will be there when your wedding dress is torn

CHORUS:
And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

VERSE 2:
I didn't wanna join the race
Could not live at your pace
And what was there to gain
While enduring this pain?
A false sense of security
Brings with it some obscurity
And if falling from your grace
Means that I can feel safe

I don't want to be there when you take the path less worn
Though I will be there when your wedding dress is torn

CHORUS:
And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

INSTRUMENTAL:

Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?

CHORUS:
And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

Should you change your mind
Change your mind

Music and Lyrics © 2013: Clive Farrington / Jon Brooks

------------------- LYRICS -------------------
- Verse 1 -
Strange times, I've had enough of strange times
I wish that we could go back again
The day we thought that love would not end

We were brave then, never fearing no one
Our lives were somehow caught in a trap
Forever were the feelings on tap

- Chorus -
Now you talk of freedom
And I can't stop hurting
You can't stop talking
You'll not stop me walking
I shout to the mountain
Never again, no no....

Now I see you walking
And I stand here helpless
Forsaking my feelings
Traversing the ceilings
I shout to the mountain
Never again
Again!

- Verse 2 -
Warning signs, I should have read between the lines
Living through this heartache and pain
I swear I'll never do this again

Impossible, our lives became intolerable
Walking through the fire became
The scars to make these feelings remain

- Chorus -
Now you talk of freedom
And I can't stop hurting
You can't stop talking
You'll not stop me walking
I shout to the mountain
Never again, no no....

Now I see you walking
And I stand here helpless
Forsaking my feelings
Traversing the ceilings
I shout to the mountain
Never again
Again!

- Instrumental -
Never again, I shout to the mountain
Aww, I shout to the mountain
Mmm yeah, never again

- Chorus -
Now you talk of freedom
And I can't stop hurting
You can't stop talking
You'll not stop me walking
I shout to the mountain
Never again, no no....

Now I see you walking
And I stand here helpless
Forsaking my feelings
Traversing the ceilings
I shout to the mountain
Never again
Never Again!
