After 2 years of silence "Touch" album was released. Here Laura Branigan use her voice in different kinds of songs, and she did as always, with good taste. There are many good songs: "Shattered Glass", "Spirit of love" and "Cry wolf", but these three tracks together never got the success of her first songs. Maybe people only remember "Power of love" where Laura shows that she is better making covers.
(1987)

Over Love

My head touches the pillow
Dreams of us come rushin' through
Tehy light the dark like fireflies
Slowly fillin' up the room

Everywhere I look tonight
I can see how I cried
Over love, over you
Over love, there was nothin' I could do
Over love, over you

I believe in magic
It clouds the minds like sweet perfume
It almost made me crazy
I could've died from the pleasures of me and you

Until the magic drifted away
I never though I'd say
I'm over love, over you
I'm over love, there's nothin' I can do
Over love, over you
And so I'm turnin' on the light
Don't want to lose another night
Over love

Not gonna hurt anymore
Not gonna do what I did before
Not gonna feel like I felt
Till I fall again
Over love

I'm over love, over you
I'm over love, there's nothin' I can do
Over love, over you
And so I'm turnin' on the light
Don't want to lose another night

Over love
, over you
Over love, and there's nothin' I can do
Over love, over you
I'm over love, and there's nothin' nothin' nothin'
I can do over love, over you
Over love, and there's nothin' nothin' I can do
Over love, over you
I'm over love, and there's nothin' nothin' baby

I can do over love, over you
Over love, and there's nothin'

Shadow Of Love

Fell it tonight
Rainin' down as cool as ice
The air that we breathe
Is all we share between us
Wearing the scars
Deep inside our desert hearts
Tell me where did it go
Why did love ever leave us

Now the memories burn in my eyes
As I remember the look of the broken hearted
Never thought I'd be one of their own

We're standin' in a shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
forever
The shadow of what was
Now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run
From the shadow she cast on the night
The shadow of love

I want to believe
everything that I can't see
But the truth always lies
Somewhere in between us

I can't help what I feel in the night
Thoughts disturbing the sleep of our innocent lives Will these dreams never leave us alone

We're standin' in a shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
forever more
The shadow of what was
Now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run
From the shadow she cast on the night
The shadow of love

I want to know I'll always be
All alone with you I'm the only one
But long before We ever were
You belong to her
And she still isn't gone

And now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run
We're standin' in a shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
forever more
The shadow of what was
We're standin' in a shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
forever more
The shadow of what was

We're standin', We're standin', We're standin'
We're standin' in a shadow of love
We're standin' in a shadow
Is always with us
The shadow of what was
We're standin', We're standin', We're standin'
We're standin' in a shadow of love

Angels Calling

Everytime I see you
I get a feeling deep inside
I want to be near you
I want to be always by your side
You know my wants,
you know my needs
You never turn your back on me
You know I play,
you know I stray
You're always there to rescue me

Angels calling, stars are falling
I hear sounds of love
Heavens singing, hearts are ringing
I hear sounds of love

Everytime I see you
I feel my secrets falling out
When I'm near you
I lose my defenses, drop my guards
It's been so long,
always so wrong
Love was never good to me
I know you care,
you're always there
Your love was heaven sent to me

Angels calling, stars are falling
I hear sounds of love
Heavens singing, hearts are ringing
I hear sounds of love

My world is changing, fire's raging
I hear sounds of love
Shadows dancing, voices chanting
I hear sounds of love

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're all I want
You're life to me
You're life to me

Everytime I see you
Angels calling, stars are falling
I hear sounds of love
Heavens singing, hearts are ringing
I hear sounds of love
World is changing, fire's raging
I hear sounds of love
Shadows dancing, voices chanting
I hear sounds of love

Meaning Of The Word

Now there is a wind blowin' leaves
along the empty street
Down by the place on the corner
where we used to meet
Two people too proud to give
Afraid of what the heart demands
Two of a kind
We made up our minds to live
without the ties that bind

Each to each
No surrender out of reach,
where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper
No farewell
Nothing spoken silence fell
while hearts were broken no one stared
Was it love, did we ever
Know the meaning of the word

Now there's a moon rising
in the cold and distant skies
And I can feel it shinin'
down like a lover's eyes
Don't know where you are tonight
Or how to tell the things we say
From what we mean
Or why we could never cross
the distance in between

Each to each
No surrender out of reach,
where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper
No farewell
Nothing spoken silence fell
while hearts were broken no one stared
Was it love, did we ever
Know the meaning of the word

Don't know where you are tonight
Or how to tell the things we say
From what we mean
Or why we could never cross
the distance in between

Each to each
No surrender out of reach,
where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper
No farewell
Nothing spoken silence fell
while hearts were broken no one stared
Was it love, did we ever
Know the meaning of the word

Power Of Love

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender now
A love that I could not forsake

Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
Cause I am always by your side

I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear so suddenly
the feeling that I can't go on
Is so far away

Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love

I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love

Shattered Glass

I gave you everything I had
You took my heart and broke it bad
I'm not the kind who can take it alone
I've got nothing more for you
I want somebody who needs me too

I've given up, boy
I'm chasing my joy
And you can make your own
You're not the only one
Cos my time will come

You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

It really doesn't matter to me
Where you're going and who you see
I know that I can make it this time
It doesn't matter any more
Since you've gone and walked out that door

I made a new start
I found a true heart
I'm gonna make it mine
Go out and have your fun
Cos my time will come

You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

You can shatter glass
, You can shatter glass
Cos my time will come
You're not the only one
Go out and have your fun
Cos my time will come

You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

Whatever I Do

I fight the night
To be alone has never frigtened me
Behind the light
The shadow of your memory
Oh, who are you to turn the knife
I am not your sacrifice
Who are you When I can get you
out of my life?

Bet you didn't know
That I would pack away my things and go
And know It's true
Gonna get along in spite of you
Don't want to hear your alibis
Don't want your part time compromise
Who are you When I can get you
out of my life?

Whatever I do wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you
Whatever I do wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you

I stand alone
Another victim of your fantasies
I face the world, ooh
I'm searching for my destiny
Oh who are you to tie me down
When you where not always around
Who are you When I can get you
out of my life?

Whatever I do wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you
Whatever I do wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you
Over you

Oh, who are you to turn the knife
I am not your sacrifice
Who are you When I can get you
out of my life?


Whatever I do wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you
Whatever I do wherever I go
I'm never coming back to you
Whatever you do wherever you go
I'm gonna get over you

Spirit Of Love

I can't tell you
No one will ever die from a broken heart
But one thing I know
Since I've loved you I know that I'm alive

So why do you keep holding back
Don't turn away from what we have
I would never hurt you

Can't stop the rain
when you hear the thunder
Tonight's the night
we're caught up in the flood
Don't you see
we were meant for one another
To live and breathe
in the spirit of love

Naked alone
What would I be if your love
Had never found me
One thing that's real
Is only the trust we give
To one another

So gotta making feel behind
We're waited for the longest time
It's to late to stop now

Can't stop the rain
when you hear the thunder
Tonight's the night
we're caught up in the flood
Don't you see
we were meant for one another
To live and breathe
in the spirit of love

Touch

Let me tell you baby what I want to do
There's something that I've really got to say
Let me tell you everything that's on my mind
Don't say no I'll tell you anyway

Sometimes when I see you in a crowded room
I really want to kiss you in the dark
I get the strangest fellings coming over me Frightening sensations of the heart

I want to run but my feet won't go
I wanna move right through the floor
I want to stop but I can't say no
To what I'm feeling anymore

Baby let me touch you
Let me get to know you
Baby let me touch you tonight
Come on in their lust
Let me feel your fingertips
Baby let me touch you tonight

I've been attracted to you for so long
Seems like I've been waiting all my life
And know there's nothing standing In the way of us We can find what we both really like

I wanna stay with you all night long
I wanna kiss you on the floor
I wanna stop but I can't say no
To what I'm feeling anymore

Baby let me touch you
Let me get to know you
Baby let me touch you tonight
Let me get to know you
Baby feel your fingertips
Baby let me touch you tonight
Tonight, Ooh

I wanna stay with you all night long
I wanna kiss you on the floor
I wanna stop but I can't say no
To what I'm feeling anymore

Baby let me touch you
Let me get to know you
Baby let me touch you tonight
Let me get to know you
Baby feel your fingertips
Baby let me touch you tonight

Cry Wolf

You couldn't wait for answers
You just had to try those wings
And all your happy-ever-afters
They didn't mean a thing

So I'm not gonna try at all
To keep you from the flame
Just remember not to call my name

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore

If you start to stumble
If you start to crack
If you're feeling humble
Don't look back

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you anymore

You can try but you can't get me
Into the fire
Cause I'm all out of sympathy
And I can't walk this wire
So find yourself somebody new
To catch you when you fall
Cause I got just one thing to say to you
And, that's all

When you cry wolf
Once too often
You cry wolf
No, I won't come knockin'
You cry wolf
I won't hear you

Baby, Baby, cry, cry wolf
Don't cry me baby
I won't come knockin
When you cry wolf
No, I won't hear you

anymore.

Statue In The Rain

The days grow old
like winters that creep slowly past
And the love grows cold
like icicles against the glass

Now everything around me has changed
The magic of your touch remains
And I stand here feeling naked

Like a Statue In The Rain
A Statue In The Rain
Statue In The Rain
Calling out your name

A photograph,
a window to another time
As I watch the past,
I feel your body dance to mine

Now everything around me has changed
The phanton only feeds the flame
So I stand here feeling naked

Just like a Statue In The Rain
A Statue In The Rain
Statue In The Rain
Calling out your name

Now I'm cold
from my head to my toes
And I'm wet,
I can never forget
How your love
made me feel so alive

Thinking of you,
my whole world is gray
As I wander through the magic of facing
One more day You're so far away

Now everything around me has changed
The magic of your touch remains
And I stand here feeling naked

Like a Statue In The Rain
A Statue In The Rain
Statue In The Rain
Calling out your name

Now I'm cold
from my head to my toes
And I'm wet,
I can never forget
How your love
made me feel so alive

Like a Statue In The Rain
A Statue In The Rain
Statue In The Rain
Calling out your name
