작년 발매된 [The Morning Side of Love]가 AMG에서 별 4개의 평점을 받고 대중적으로도 높은 판매고를 올리는 등의 큰 성과를 거두자 불과 1년 만에 다시 등장한 2탄이다. 전작들과 마찬가지로 로이 애이어스, 러퍼스, 샤카 칸, 빌 위더스, 에머슨 레이크 앤 파머, 마크 앤 알몬드 등의 거장급 뮤지션들이 대거 등장, 음악 팬들의 구매욕을 자극하고 있으며 자연스레 음악적 완성도의 측면에서 전작과 비등한 수준을 뽐낸다. 1탄의 성공에 힘입어 음반을 팔아보려는 얄팍한 상술 따위와는 거리가 먼, 빼어난 선곡표와 곡 배치로 일궈낸 컴필레이션 앨범의 정점!] .... ....
Well, I slept last night in the open Down by a redwood tree Yes, I slept last night in the open Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free
I don't want to know, I don't want to go, I don't want to go back into the city. It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride Going nowhere.
Well, I slept last night in the open (It gets so hot in the city) Down by a redwood tree (It gets so hot in the city) Yes, I slept last night in the open Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free.
I don't want to know, I don't want to go, I don't want to go back into the city. It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride Going nowhere
You look to me like misty roses Too soft to touch But too lovely to leave alone If I could be like misty roses I love you much You're too lovely to leave alone
Flowers often cry But too late to find That their beauty has been lost With their peace of mind You look to me like love forever Too good to last But too lovely not to try If I believe in love forever I'd forget the past You're too lovely Not to try
She was something very special to me The kind of girl you'd like to see In a movie or a rosary She could be straight-laced or homespun Or free and easy on the run She could be meek and mild or full of fun
She liked country lanes and aeroplanes And cigarettes would make her strange And when she wanted you she made it plain
She would never say where she came from It didn't seem that she had anyone To answer to or dwell upon
She liked candlelight and good wine And I would call her any time Of day or night she didn't mind
The was nothing that I wouldn't do To prove to her my love was true And she gave to me a dream or two
There were times when she would never appear For days and then she'd disappear But now the days have turned to years
I was something she could use Like a good friend or a pair of shoes Or any kind of good news
Now the eastern sky is crimson and red As I lie here in my lonely bed And think about the things she said
She said darling there will come a day When I must run far away I will go my love and you must stay
She departed in the early spring She didn't leave me anything To follow or to find her
She was something very special to me The kind of girl you'd like to see In a movie or a rosary
After all this time it's got no better And the words just seem to pass me by So I think of you in the morning Singing a song to fill my eyes
Here I go Can you sing along?
Stopped to say hello Something overcame me Didn't want to go and pass you by Looked at me so fair Saw the sun upon you Blow and slip through your hands
Summer stole away All the breath within me Leavin' me gaspin' for some air Have so much to say Hardly seem to matter You were more than some one day
Didn't we believe we were so? Didn't we believe we were something? Didn't we believe we were more? So much more than words can say Suddenly sunshine, sudden love
When the years are gone And we live on memories Will you still remember me that way? Like I do you too No matter where I could be Something's going to steal away
Didn't we believe we were so? Didn't we believe we were something? Didn't we believe we were more? So much more than I don't know Suddenly sunshine, sudden love
Didn't want to go Didn't want to leave you Something pulling me back hurt me so Wakin' up I found feet upon the pillow Head and shoulders on the ground
Tell me how you want me to be, then look again and you will see That I'm still the same love Think me into any shape, your twisted mind has no escape But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love You can learn how to play Born like you were in a terrible mess, didn't know what it was to have a new dress You just wanted to scream out my name Till somebody said, 'Let me take you to bed' And with money and lies they filled up your head You were barely thirteen, a child from the villages So fresh on the scene
