I searched for you but you were nowhere to be found
A coastal state and all I stood on was frozen ground And now I found you, it's been three months to the day Oh and baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your face The bedroom light was on as you waltzed on through the hall My hands were shaking, it was like I never knew you at all You move so slowly, with such eloquence and grace Oh and baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your face Oh baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your face Princess on the porch as I waited for the flood I gave you all the love I could, I gave you all that I should And now you tell me you are dying to be free Oh baby it's so good to see you, why'd you have to leave? Oh baby it's so good to see you, why'd you have to, to leave? I walked out to my car, in my pocket that's when I found the key I turned around to see you staring right back at me That's when I realized how you are and how it'll never be Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only me Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only me Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only, it's only me Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only |

I'm a man of wants and needs
If you got something, I will share it You don't see the things I see When it comes to love and carin' In a queen size bed There were things been said I never thought you'd be The first one to leave Knights of loneliness Where have you gone, there's nowhere safe Knights of loneliness Now that you upped and ran away Inside the city you cannot be found You left the country girl and that's apparent In the alleys I can hear your sound It echoes low where I can hear it Then the sky turns red And I'm walking dead Through the aching trees I hear your reprise Knights of loneliness Where have you gone, there's nowhere safe Knights of loneliness Where could you be, there is no trace Miles from me now It's all a blur, there is no face Knights of loneliness Now that you've upped and ran away You upped and ran away You upped and ran away You upped and ran away Then the sky turns red And I'm walking dead Through the aching trees I hear your reprise Knights of loneliness Where have you gone, there's nowhere safe Knights of loneliness Where could you be, there is no trace Miles from me now It's all a blur, there is no space Knights of loneliness Now that you've upped and ran away Knights of loneliness Knights of loneliness Knights of loneliness Knights of loneliness Now that you've upped Now that you've upped Now that you've upped Now that you've upped and ran away You upped and ran away You upped and ran away You upped and ran away |

Had the operation
Get myself unsick Silence all the surgery I heard the needle prick And just as I went under I saw the nurses scream "Doctor we've lost another To this here surgery" And the pain don't stop for me And a gold day shot Is what I need And it's all I really want to live And it's somewhere to begin I feel as if I've wasted all my life I woke up in the morning To see my parents gleam Surprise was in the nurse's face I made it through the sleep They said "Relax, take it easy" I never knew their names It seems that God was watching Was watching over me And the pain don't stop for me And a gold day shot Is what I need And it's all I really want to live And it's somewhere to begin I feel as if I've wasted all my life And it's all I really want to live And it's somewhere to begin I feel as if I've wasted all my life All my life All my life |

Cause he gets up in the morning
And he goes to work at nine And he comes back home at five-thirty Gets the same train every time And his world is built on punctuality That never fails Cause he's oh so good And he's oh so fine And he's oh so healthy In his body and his mind He's a well respected man about town Doing the best things so conservatively And his mother goes to meetings While his father pulls the maid She stirs the tea with counselors While discussing foreign trade She passes looks, as well as bills At every suave young man Cause he's oh so good And he's oh so fine And he's oh so healthy In his body and his mind He's a well respected man about town Doing the best things so conservatively He plays at stocks and shares And he goes to the Regatta He adores the girl next door Cause he's dying to get at her But his mother knows the best about The matrimonial stakes Cause he's oh so good And he's oh so fine And he's oh so healthy In his body and his mind He's a well respected man about town Doing the best things so conservatively ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By DAVIES <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

Stubborn little man
Did a little hands on a worn out tire He's just like his dad Proud that he had it set aside Until that day Many came and took his life Ditzy campaign Til the rains washed away His beautiful plan His beautiful plan His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right Some folks just don't last that long And he won't be dead tonight So he got up Got in his truck and drove around A stroke of bad luck He figured as much It won't keep him down He found fame He lives in a place near Clearwater still Works on a boat Carries a load cause there's lots to feel There's lots to feel His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right Some folks just don't last that long And he won't be dead tonight A happy old man Did a little hands-on with his knife Sleeps in the coals The pits and the falls that made up his life Now he's inspired Sits by the fire, how his wisdom sings So much to learn Stories that burn all the joy they bring The joy they bring His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right Some folks just don't last that long And he won't be dead tonight |

It's Pittsburgh in the morning
He's sleeping at the bus stop He wakes up and asks me for some cold soda change And I said, don't you 'member the dollar I gave you? Don't you 'member that dollar? His heart is beatin' And Pittsburgh is his name It's Pittsburgh in the evening He's waiting by the bus stop He jumps up and asks me for some cold soda change And I said, don't you 'member the dollar I gave you? Don't you 'member that dollar? His soul is bleedin' And Pittsburgh is his name Just don't let me think you're gonna last Maybe a couple of more years on that track Just don't let me think you're gonna last Maybe a couple of more years on that crack And it's Pittsburgh the next morning He's laying by the bus stop He don't start to get up as I call out his name And I said, don't you 'member the dollar I gave you? Don't you 'member that dollar? His heart ain't beatin' Pittsburgh's got away Just don't let me think you're gonna last Maybe a couple of more years on that track Just don't let me think you're gonna last Maybe a couple of more years on that crack |

Won't you call me back in the middle of the day?
Won't you call me back in the middle of the day? Sleepers sleepin' away Sleepers are sleepin' away Told you not the come 'til the middle of the afternoon Told you not the come 'til the middle of the afternoon Fakers fakin' away Fakers are fakin' away And everybody knows what's going on And everybody knows what's going on 'round here Bet you'd take a ride with the devil and his horse Bet you'd take a ride with the devil and his horse Makers make for the day Makers are make for the day And everybody knows what's going on And everybody knows what's going on 'round here |

I know this sounds absurd
Let me start this verse Your passion has slown you down In a corner you sit on a chair Where's that shirt you wear That makes you look so soft (and full) And I won't ask for much I won't ask for anything at all And I won't ask for much I won't ask for anything You could just sit there and smile Fell into a sleep Fifteen minutes deep You can't hold a thought there This apartment's cheap It's breaking God's heart to see You look so down and inspired And I won't ask for much I won't ask for anything at all And I won't ask for much I won't ask for anything You could just sit there and smile And smile And smile And smile And smile And smile |

Only half of the time do you tell me just what you want
Only half of the time do you tell me just what you want Can I get some contact? Can I get some contact from you? Can I get some contact with what is real? It's the end of the night and I'm feelin' sexual It's the end of the night and I'm feelin' sexual Can I get some love back? Can I get some love back from you? Can I get some love back that you conceal? And now I've fallen under your charm And now I fall into your arms Where I feel alright In the blink of an eye do we do what's natural Maybe once or twice do we do what's natural Is it just a love task? Is it too much to ask from you? Is it just a love task or do you feel? And now I've fallen under your charm And now I fall into your arms And now I've fallen under your charm And now I fall into your arms Where I feel alright, it's where I'll stay tonight It's only half of the time do you tell me just what you want Only half of the time do you tell me just what you want Can I get some contact? Can I get some contact from you? Can I get some contact with what is real? |

A slaveship, lost at sea
A slaveship, lost at sea And I'm drowning your waters deep I'm drowning your waters deep A spaceship in the country A spaceship in the country And we're flying into green We're flying into green And I told you a thousand times (Sold you a thousand lies) I love you, would you marry me? I love you, would you marry me? The city, there's an empty street The city, there's an empty street And we're dancing to the lonely beat We're dancing to the lonely beat Your building is where we'll meet Your building is where we'll meet And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat I'm hungry, lets get something to eat 'Cos I told you a thousand times (Sold you a thousand lies) I love you, would you marry me? I love you, would you marry me? Your daddy, he ain't like me Your daddy, he ain't like me I'm striving, I so wanna be I'm striving, I got to agree One day girl, you'll be my queen One day girl, I'll be your king And we'll reign in a castle supreme We'll reign in a castle supreme 'Cos I told you a thousand times (Sold you a thousand lies) I love you, would you marry me? I love you, would you marry me? 'Cos I told you a thousand times (Sold you a thousand lies) I love you, would you marry me? I love you, would you marry me? |

She was feeling 1972
Grooving to a Carole King tune Is it too late, baby? Is it too late? That boy was always up to no good Smoking pot and playing pool In the afternoon Unemployed and high We're going through the changes Hoping for a replacement Until we find a way out of this hole Spanish girl with the tattoo Working nights at the drive through And she asks herself Could this be all? Screwing in a motel room Watching news on channel two Victoria, tell me Where is your dream? We're going through some changes Hoping for a replacement Until we find a way out of this We're going through the changes Hoping for a replacement Until we find a way out of this A way out of this hole Out of this hole Out of this hole, ah ah |

Think I'm gonna pass out, think I'll just lay down right here
Someone turn the light out? I'll cover myself with a jacket, I'll still Catch the last ride on a Brooklyn train 30 years old and nothing's changed Spent hours on a land line, hopin' you would find time for me Showed up at your door, it was a scene, I was so sure You would be free I should have caught a ride on a Brooklyn train 30 years old and nothing's changed And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time And I'll rise to greet you in the morning Tried so hard to ignore all the feelings I have for you They won't leave, I'm so crazy How I wish you would Come around and we could meet So catch the last ride on the Brooklyn train Meet me on a corner and I'll entertain And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time And I'll rise to greet you in the morning It's an honest thing and honest things they last Think they're gonna come and carry me away I think they're gonna come and carry me away Think they're gonna come and carry me away From you I think they're gonna come and carry me away Think they're gonna come and carry me away I think they're gonna come and carry me away From you, from you, from you |

Drive in the slow right lane
Cause we've got some time to kill You know I love this time of year And you're a strange Strange find I want to take all I can from you Just give me a sign And I'll be right at your side Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain My heart is wide open and somehow everything Falls into place and it's love Words words that don't come out If I'm confusing you I'm just here to clean your doubts And I'm inclined To tell you I don't need any room to breathe I want to see you laid out See you laid out Sleeping on the couch Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain My heart is wide open and somehow everything Falls into place and it's love And lately I've been feelin' no pain My heart is wide open and somehow everything Falls into place and it's love And it's love And I will find a way To bring the light back to your day And I will show you I will show you that I, I can change Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain My heart is wide open and somehow everything Falls into place and it's love And lately I've been feelin' no pain My heart is wide open and somehow everything Falls into place and it's love And it's Love |

Hurry up we're gonna be late
I can't wait to see this place And if we leave now We could be there soon On the drive, you did not care You're sun-tired and your stomach's bare When your eyes light up And out of the blue you scream It's a miracle And I'm here to say It's a miracle And I'm here to tell you now Wake up, we're almost there Ten more miles it was such an affair That in all our lives Waited for this day And there it is, it's shining like gold A little different than the one before And who would've though That you would contemplate It's a miracle And I'm here to say It's a miracle And I'm here to tell you Miracles They don't feel this way It's a miracle And I'm here to tell you now All of the work is begun The babies comes one by one We lie in the mid day sun and say All of the work is begun The babies comes one by one We lie in the mid day sun and say This is a miracle that we're here today A miracle And I'm here to tell you Miracles They don't feel this way It's a miracle And I'm here to tell you now |

Keeps you home The darkness swings A silent phone is all you got If somebody calls today It won't be safe here any more Late night conversation turns into a fight And all the years you've been frustrated They finally subside and now you walk away To face the day alone It's safe right here Behind closed doors And if your ears You hear by choice and not by will You stated you caused today You won't be staying any more Late night conversation turns into a fight And all the years you've been frustrated They finally subside and now you walk away To face the day alone Miscommunication turns into a fight And all the years you've been frustrated They finally subside and now you walk away To face your day alone |

Under the cold blue stars
You would just stroll around the yard That?s what happens to dreams When the life strains and a child lays in you When you got old, you play guitar In a little town, your favorite bar Just blowing steam, now the lights Fade and everyone paid to see you So did the farm, it steal your soul When the cornfields won't grow It's time to leave, now the heart Bleeds and a family leans on you You were under the cold blue stars In another town, your favorite bar That's what happens to dreams When the life strains and a child lays in you |

Where's my champagne? Champagne I'm such a pretty boy I'm such a pretty boy I'm such a pretty boy I'm such a pretty boy Heaven knows the lengths I go to please them every day And they don't even notice when I'm Down Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Such a pretty boy Hotels were closed And the airport was clean He was stranded alone In his southwest dream Hotels were closed And the airport was clean I was stranded alone In my southwest dream |

Don't like the direction
you are going to Seems to lack the attention that it used to Stay out all night and get high with your friends Wonder why you don't get one thing done Don't like the direction you are going to Don't like the direction you have come to Now it has the attention hat it used to Stay home all night with the TV and wife Comfortable life's not all it's cracked up to be Don't like the direction you have come to It's easy to get caught and the weight of the world It's falling on your face so unsure that you would Don't like the direction you are going to Seems to lack the attention that it used to Stay out all night and get high with your friends Wonder why you don't get one thing done Don't like the direction you are going to It's easy to get caught and the weight of the world It's falling on your face so unsure that you would Don't like the direction you are going to Seems to lack the attention that it used to Stay out all night and get high with your friends Wonder why you don't get one thing done Don't like the direction you are going to |
