I was sitting by the phone I was waiting all alone Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you It's a dark and dreary night Seems like nothing's going right Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you? Yes I'm down and feeling blue And I don't know what to do, oh-oh Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? You were here and now you're gone Hey did I do something wrong? I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken Was it me or was it you? Tell me, are we really through? Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking Please forgive and then forget Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? |

Day is dawning and I must go
You're asleep but still I'm sure you'll know Why it had to end this way You and I had a groovy time But I told you somewhere down the line You would have to find me gone I just have to move along Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations When you wake I know you'll cry And the words I wrote to say goodbye They won't comfort you at all But in time you will understand That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand For a no-good bum like me To live is to be free Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Look in my restless soul, a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations <i>[repeat and fade]</i> |

Changing, moving, in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams Smiling, laughing, from the shadows When I hear your voice I know what it means I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try You're all the reason for my life Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You're all I had, you're all I want Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd Thinking, wondering, what you're doing I can stop myself from crying out loud They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar But then, they'd never shared our love Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me How can I forget you when my world is breaking down You're all I had, you're all I want Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have |

I saw it in the mirror
I saw it in my face that I'm no longer needed anyone can take my place I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes 'cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries I saw it in the mirror my head is hanging low and I ain't too familiar with the feelings that I show I know you say you love me but I'm looking through your lies it doesn't really bother you if this boy cries I never thought I could cry for you but honey I will miss you 'til the day I die I saw it in the mirror I saw it in my face that I'm no longer needed anyone can take my place I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes 'cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries |

Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train Just a face among a million faces Just another woman with no name Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special If you knew her I am sure you'd agree ’cause I know she's got a little secret Friday evening she turns out to be... Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play But she knows the fun would go away If she would play it every day So she's back every morning to her work at the office And another week to live in a dream And another row of early mornings In an almost never-ending stream Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain Everybody seems to think she's a bore But they wouldn't know her little secret What her Friday night would have in store... Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play She would like to play it every day Nina, pretty ballerina, now she is the queen of the dancing floor This is the moment she's waited for Just like Cinderella, just like Cinderella Nina, pretty ballerina, who would ever think she could be this way This is the part that she likes to play |

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour I am alone Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind Like the embers as they die Love was one prolonged good-bye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room |

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty there was nothing left to live for but then it happened one night as I got into a fight I could hear someone saying as though he was praying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" I was a woman never thinking of others and my life was so lonely didn't care for anybody but then I happened to meet a begging man in the street as I turned down his praying I heard someone saying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" |

Take the river to the highest mountain Take the ocean to the farthest sea I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you If you'd come back to me I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree I'd take back everything I said to scare you Away from me Two hands can feel so much more That's what I'm loving you for I was too blind to see fear was inside of me I'm not afraid anymore She's my kind of girl, she's my kind of girl To forgive and forget Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over I'll never hold you again If a broken wing can still be mended Then a foolish heart can still be true Take the river to the highest mountain That's where I'll wait for you Two hearts can feel so much more That's what I'm loving you for The man that you tried to free Is still locked inside of me And your heart must open the door She's my kind of girl, she's my kind of girl To forgive and forget Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over I'll never hold you again (repeat and fade) |

I am just a girl One among the others Nothing much to say Plain and simple girl Not the special type in any way Just one look and you will surely see That the true Miss Nobody is me It's an evil world That has only made me a girl I am just a girl Not the kind of woman Men would like to meet Just another girl No one ever looks at in the street But today I can't believe it's true When you smiled and whispered 'I love you' Darling I could see I was meant to be your girl It's a funny feeling when you get to love someone And thinking that he'll never look your way But then he say he loves you And life has just begun It's so much more than any words can say I am just a girl Not the kind of woman Men would like to meet Just another girl No one ever looks at in the street But today I can't believe it's true When you smiled and whispered 'I love you' Darling I could see I was meant to be your girl But today I can't believe it's true When you smiled and whispered 'I love you' Darling I could see I was meant to be your girl |

Sun, I can't slow you down Run, build on sacred ground All of the leavesd have blown away Ghosts on a distant highway In a merry-go-round Sleep, if your eyes must close Weep, over a poisoned rose Soon all the tears will blow away Dust on a distant highway In the merry-go-round Fly, closer to the sun Fight, 'till your world is one Soon all the stars will burn away Ghosts on a different highway In the merry-go-round Oh, shall we sleep tonight Take all your dreams and drive away Smoke on a distant highway From the merry-go-round All my people Respect your Mother Earth Thank you for this life and this breath And all my people's strength |

I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, How I wish this road would take me home where I belong, Cause I have found no other place where I would stay, I'm tired and all my dreams have failed along the way. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now, I guess I've changed, like people do when things go wrong, But in the end, somehow I know we'll get along. Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay... I'm on my way... Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, How I wish to see the old house where I used to live, And all my friends, will they be there, when I come home, How I regret the day when I set out to roam, Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay... I'm on my way... Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa |
