See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin' in its dream But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. The time has come to trust that guiding light And leavin' all the rest behind We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known. If you travel blindly, if you fall The truth is there to set you free And when your heart can see just one thing in this life We'll set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known. See the dark night has come down on us The world is livin' in its dream But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way. And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known. Intro: The Bushwhackers Drums: Henry Spinetti Bass Guitar: Gary Taylor Piano: Tommy Eyre Acoustic Guitar: Gerry Rafferty Electric Guitars: Jerry Donahue Tambourine: Glen Le Fleur Fiddles/Mandolin: Graham Preskett Lead Vocals: Gerry Rafferty Backing Vocals: Gerry Rafferty / Barbara Dickson |

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet Well, another crazy day You'll drink the night away And forget about everything This city desert makes you feel so cold It's got so many people, but it's got no soul And it's taken you so long To find out you were wrong When you thought it held everything You used to think that it was so easy You used to say that it was so easy But you're trying, you're trying now Another year and then you'd be happy Just one more year and then you'd be happy But you're crying, you're crying now Way down the street there's a light in his place He opens the door, he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some quiet little town And forget about everything But you know he'll always keep moving You know he's never gonna stop moving 'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone And when you wake up, it's a new morning The sun is shining, it's a new morning And you're going, you're going home |

You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line I know how much I lean on you, only you can see Changes that I've been through have left their mark on me You've been as constant as a northern star, the brightest light that shines It's been you, woman, right down the line I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more 'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night Put something better inside of me, you brought me into the light Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind And it was you, woman, right down the line I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground I won't turn to someone else, they'd only let me down When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line |

Now the night train is waitin' to take me away
And I'm still feelin' guilty cause you're wanting me to stay Well I know, how I know, it's harder on you But you said it yourself, there's nothing else we could do. When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the night Out there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' bright And it makes me feel better just to see it up there I hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care. So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home. Now I know you've been waiting, but I'll be seeing you soon Meanwhile I just lay here staring at the moon And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps And the train keeps on rollin', and it just rocks me to sleep. So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home. So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home. Now from city to city, it's four hundred miles And I'm bound to wake up every once in a while And it's then that I call out to some higher power And then I'll go back to sleep cause I'll be home in an hour. So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) (fade) I'm going home (ooooh) tonight...

Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time
But I don't feel guilty, cause the time was mine I kept down low, kept down low I walked right out, I had to let it go. Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time Forgot about everything and eased my mind Stealin' time, I was stealin' time But now I know it's time to cross that line. I watched the sky, watched the sky Every day I let the world roll by Sun and rain, sun and the rain It felt so good to know that magic again. Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time Forgot about everything and eased my mind Stealin' time, I was stealin' time But now I know it's time to cross that line. Wait my love, wait my love You'll soon be brighter than the sun up above Wait and see, wait and see Forget about everything except you and me. Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time Forgot about everything and eased my mind Stealin' time, I was stealin' time But now I know it's time to cross that line. (fade) Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GERRY RAFFERTY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Oh Mattie open up the door, that's right I'm home again
You've got a big surprise in store, turn round and count to ten Wait til you see what I got you, well you'll say it's a magic thing It's like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and he'll start to sing. I've been away for quite a while, and I want to hear all your news Speak to me, let me see you smile, cause I've had those homesick blues When I go down to that city I just don't know wrong from right When I go back to you Mattie, well you make me see the light. Love is a singular thing, it can take you up or bring you down Yes love is a song that I sing, so come on now Mattie listen to the sound When you grow up we'll sit and talk of how things used to be I'll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GERRY RAFFERTY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Wakin' up here on a rainy day
I swore last time that I would stay away I came down here to talk to you I said this time I might get through. I heard us speak but all the words were dead We talked all night and left it all unsaid So we agree to disagree At least we got our memory. Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters You'll find a way to say it all someday (yeah) Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters Yeah, night and day, night and day. You've got your secrets yeah and I've got mine We've played this game now for a long long time You don't lean on anyone You never had no place to run. You never wanted me to get too close We love and hate the ones we need the most I tried to find a way to you One thing I could say to you. Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters You'll find a way to say it all someday (yeah) Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters Yeah, night and day, night and day. Maybe I've always set my sights too high You take the easy way and still get by I know there ain't no special way We all get there anyway. I heard us speak but all the words were dead Talked all night and left it all unsaid So we agree to disagree At least we got our memory. Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters You'll find a way to say it all someday (yeah) Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters Yeah, night and day, night and day. (fade) Yeah, Night and day and day Yeah, Night and day and day (whatever's written in your heart) |

Wake up my love, the sun is shinin' out there, blue sky up above
It's a brand new day, let's walk outside and let that breeze blow all our cares away. You know that way back there in that city life We've been strangers for so long Now that I feel like I know you again I want to stay. So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begun That was my last dream, since then I've watched the rest crumble one by one. Since we've been runnin' silent yeah it's felt so right It's gettin' closer now everyday Now that I feel like I know you again I want to stay. (sha la la sha la la) You know that on my own I don't make it alone I need someone who needs me I only know that wherever you are I want to be. But from now on, we won't worry about a thing, yeah the past is gone This is our last day (yeah), we're gonna make sweet love before we sail away. (fade) sha la la sha la la Drums: Glen Le Fleur Bass Guitar: Gary Taylor Piano/Organ: Tommy Eyre Saxophone: Raphael Ravenscroft Steel Guitar: Brian Cole Accordion: Willy Ray Electric Guitar: Hugh Burns Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Well here I am, back in town
Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day. Sleep won't come, I need a drink Stop my head, don't wanna think Wishing I could be with you But I know you're so far away And I'm here waiting for the day. Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry. Out on the street, shadows fall Silence speaks, I hear it call City of the living dead Count the lights on the motorway Lie here waiting for the day (alright). Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry. Yes here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day (alright) Drums: Henry Spinetti Bass Guitar: Gary Taylor Electric Rhythm: Andy Fairweather-Low Lead/Rhythm: Hugh Burns Piano/Organ: Tommy Eyre Brass Arrangement: Tommy Eyre Percussion: Glen Le Fleur Fiddles: Graham Preskett Piano: Gerry Rafferty Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |
