She says no
When she means yes And what she wants You know that I can't guess When we want more You know we ask for less Such is the language of love... I say leave When I mean stay But she don't see And so she moves away What we really want You know we rarely say Such is the language of love. It's tooth for tooth and eye for eye We hide our hearts And then we won't say why It's truth for truth and lie for lie Such is the language of love. One cries foul And will not speak The other claims a little victory And all the time You know we fail to see This is the language of love. When a loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows. We hem and haw We balk and bluff Our words don't ever seem to say enough But a simple smile A tender touch Speaks the true language of love. When a loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows. She says no When she means yes And what she wants You know that I can't guess When we want more You know we ask for less Such is the language of love Such is the language of love... |

Up every morning
Long before day Cooking her breakfast alone She quietly dresses And pulls up the shades And sits in the chair by the phone. But nobody ever comes by anymore Nobody ever calls Most days she sits and just stares At the windows and walls Windows and walls. Children all married Husband's passed on Nothing but time on her hands Most of her mornings Are spent in her dreams Or making her sad little plans. Maybe she'll go to the corner today And pick up the new McCalls If just to escape for an hour From her windows and walls Windows and walls. The clock on the mantel Chiming the hours Must be the loneliest sound She washes her dishes and waters her flowers And afterwards has to sit down. Sometimes she still can remember a child Playing with china dolls... Now all that she's left Are these memories and windows and walls Windows and walls (day after day) Windows and walls. |

So many try to capture love
And so many never do So many hearts are lost With never a clue. So many nights are passed in sorrow So many days go by So many lovers lose And never know why. Still the lovers in the backseats claw And still the wives wait up Everybody's trying desperately to fill their loving cup. All through the night We thrust and parry Letting our best sides show Then in the morning light We lie and let go. Everyone searching for somebody Someone to kiss and tell More often than not Our heavens turn into hell. Still the lovers in the backseats claw And still the wives wait up Everybody's trying desperately to fill their loving cup. So many try to capture love And so many never do So many hearts are lost With never a clue. Everyone searching for somebody Someone to kiss and tell More often than not Our heavens turn into hell. Still the lovers in the backseats claw And still the wives wait up Everybody's trying desperately to fill their loving cup. |

Tucson, Arizona
Rising in the heat Like a mirage Tony keeps his Chevy Like a virgin Locked in his garage He brings it out at midnight And cruises down The empty boulevards And he prowls The darkened alleys That snake between The city's thirsty yards The lonely desert skies Reflect the anger in his eyes And it is dawn His father died of drinking And left five children sinking With his mom His older brother Bobby Never made it back From Vietnam With high school well behind him He lives at home and Works this shitty job And he thinks his '60 Chevy Is the only true amigo That he's got His heart is filled with sadness And his soul is like Some ugly vacant lot Mary Estelle Hanna Come out from Louisiana For the sun A deal gone bad in Dallas Left her burned and broke And on the run To make the rent and groceries She takes this job at $3.15 an hour Serving shots of whiskey and tequila In some smoky red-neck bar And she dreams some day She'll make her way to L.A. And become a movie star Tony saw her working He swallowed hard and Asked her for a date Mary laughed and answered "I would but every night I'm working late" He said he had some cocaine That she could have If she'd just ride along She said, "What the hell I may as well I haven't had no fun In so damn long" He picked her up at closing time They pulled out on the road And they were gone Tony's mom got frantic When she found her son Had not come home Mary's roommate panicked And called the sheriff From a public phone They asked her lots of questions She tried her best to tell Them what she saw And late that night They found poor Mary Lying in some narrow, dusty draw And the coroner reported That she hadn't been Deceased for very long Two weeks on they found it Buried to the windshield In the sand There inside lay Tony With a small revolver In his hand The papers simply stated It must have been the Drugs that drove him mad The neighbors speculated What could make a good boy Go so bad? Well, it might have been The desert heat It might have been the Home he never had |

A bad situation
Right from the start She played me for a fool And she broke my heart An infatuation A hard loss to take But we all must make our own mistakes. Let her go I knew I had to let her go You know it wasn't easy It was painfully slow But I swear I finally let her go. All of these feelings Were so long ago I haven't felt a thing since I let her go But you don't believe it You still have your doubts And while you do the tension mounts. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. I will not deny it I tried to hold on But human hearts can only stay broke so long I told you the truth How much more can I do Now, my love, it's up to you. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's got to be slow But you know you go to Let her go. |

If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart Despite the doubts you harbor then you might Come to believe in me. The life I lead is not the kind That gives a woman peace of mind I only hope someday you'll find That you can believe in me. Those other loves that came before Mean nothing to me anymore But you can never be quite sure And will not believe in me. Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something that's spoken And love's never wrong when it's real. If I could only do one thing Then I would try to write and sing A song that ends your questioning And makes you believe in me. Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something that's spoken And love's never wrong when it's real. If I could only do one thing Then I would try to write and sing A song that ends your questioning And makes you believe in me makes you believe in me. Oh, you can believe in me. |

World spinning out of control
The odds diminish every die we roll But we are still in the game If we should lose there's only us to blame. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Look 'round you What do you see Six billion people where there's room for three So many mouths go unfed Oh Father give us all our daily bread. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Each year we find newer ways To turn this planet into empty space So close now to zero ground We've got to find a way to turn it 'round. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? |
