It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time for sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind I was born the son of a lawless man Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand Lived nine lives Gunned down ten Gonna ride like the wind Accused and tried and told to hang I was nowhere in sight when the churchbells rang Never was the kind to do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind before I get old |

I know I know what's on your mind And I know it gets tough sometimes. But you can give it one more try to find a reason why You should pick it up and try it again. 'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it. I think it might just work out this time.I It's all right - I think we're gonna make it I think it might work out fine this time. It's all right - I think we're gonna make I think it might just work out 'Cause it's not too late for that - too late for me. I know I've been hurt before And I know I really shouldn't give any more. But this time this time things seem just a little different. And when I look in your eyes you know I can see that it's true. And I hear you say: It's all right - I think we're gonna make it. . . . Just when you feel helpless nothing lefl to say. Love will find us. The past behind us - then we're on our way. Time and time again I see people so unsure like me We all know it gets hard sometimes. You can give it one more try Find another reason why you should pick it up You should kick it up and try it again. 'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it. 'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it. |

It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel tonight Sometimes love just slips out of sight Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day Chorus: And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above The years go by There's always someone new To try and help me forget about you Time and again, it does me no good Love never feels the way that it should I loved you then, I guess I'll love you forever And even though I know we could never stay together I'll think of how it could have been If we could just start all over again Chorus It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel today Sometimes love just slips away Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day Chorus Repeat Chorus and fade |

We think about the loves we lost Will it come again We think of all the things we want Will we ever win We listen to the voice of children Will they find their way Keep an open heart The answer to it all's a wish away Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you To the dream that's waitin' to find you 'Cause there's one more chance With every turn of the world Is it gold or glory A taste of freedom Or the strong warm touch of a body There are all these things with every turn of the world Human kindness -- diamond of the heart Tearing down the old walls As long as we can share Desire's not a sin, after all When you find yourself alone Missing tender magic touching you Keep an open heart Everything you dream can still be true We all want a world we can live in We all want a world full of love It's never too late It's never too soon Whatever you can do is enough |

So quick to take but so afraid to give enough But now I’ve found the one And heaven will only know What only my eyes can say And time can’t take away I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart And the dreams that young girls dream Were just vanishing in the dark But now I’ve found the one And heaven will only know What only my eyes can say They say That I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you And I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else but you Anyone else but you Now my heart belongs to you And I will always be your best friend Now my secrets are safe with you And the magic will never end Now you are the one And heaven will only know What only our eyes can say They say That I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you. And I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else but you anyone else but you, anyone else but you. You (you)..oohhh. That I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you. Now I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else but you anyone else but you.

I never had anything happen so fast I took one look and I shattered like glass I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew That you're everything I ever wanted at once There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants And I never wanted anything more than to know you I was swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do I was swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away And so it begins This journey of love The summer wind carries us to places all our own The words of a look The language of touch The way that you want me means so much And I never wanted anything more than to love you Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes I was swept away I hope I wake up soon I'm a victim of that crazy moon The very first time you said my name I knew it would never sound the same Something about me is changed forever |

Young and free, kicking the fences down
Somewhere hearts are breaking but he can't hear the sound They got nothin' in common He smiles away on the wings of a dream He's all caught up in that world of his She says I'm gonna miss you but I can't live like this We got nothin' in common So sad to say it has to be this way Everyone on a road of their own. Everyone gotta find a heart a home. Loving strangers - that's you and me. Gonna have the way to love, give a little honesty. ('Cuz they got nothing in common) I can feel there's a hope on the wind. The sound of your voice - I think I hear a friend. We got nothin' in common I know we don't, but it won't stay that way. Everyone on a road of their own. Everyone gotta find a heart a home. Loving strangers - that's you and me. Give a way to love, give a little honesty. Everybody needs to know if there will somewhere someday be someone to call their own. Everybody needs to hope that there will one day come a someone just in time. Everyone on a road of their own. Everyone gotta find a heart a home. Loving strangers - that's you and me. Give a way to love, give a little honesty. 'Cuz we got nothing in common. (4 times) |

It was good for me
It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel tonight Sometimes love just slips out of sight Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day And I'll Never be the same without you here I'll live alone Hide myself behind my tears And I'll Never be the same without your love I'll live alone Try so hard to rise above The years go by There's always someone new To try and help me forget about you Time and again it does me no good Love never feels the way that it should I loved you then I guess I'll love you forever And even though I know we could never stay together I think about how it could have been If we could just start all over again And I'll Never be the same without you here I'll live alone Hide myself behind my tears And I'll Never be the same without your love I'll live alone Try so hard to rise above It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel today Sometimes love just slips away Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day And I'll Never be the same without you here I'll live alone Hide myself behind my tears And I'll Never be the same without your love I'll live alone Try so hard to rise above |

Poor Shirley
She must hide her tears For nobody wants to see them Surely it will break her heart Time passes as she waits for a friend We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight And make them hold off 'til the spring Take hold of their hallowed souls And save them from pain All of the pain Save ourselves from all of the pain Dearly held are the friends Left in the years and lost in the war Dearly held are the loves Save for the ones you lose on your own Stars will light up the lonely nights Harbor lights Making us believe in the love So struck by the hope of the harmony Leaving the sorrow Gently Poor Shirley She must hide her tears For nobody wants to see them Surely she will win a heart Time passes as she waits for the wind |

It is the night
My body's weak I'm on the run No time to sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind I was born the son of a lawless man Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand Lived nine lives Gunned down ten Gonna ride like the wind Accused and tried and told to hang I was nowhere in sight when the chuchbells rang Never was the kind to do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind before I get old |

Is it yours
Is it mine I was never the kind who could draw the line Are you free Unforgiven Is this the kind of world you could live in It's alright The light is on The darkness has run to hide It's alright The light is on But the darkness is just outside Outside your window Beating down Making the sound of the rain Drive you crazy Make you lazy You know it's only the rain |

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find tranquility The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me It's not far to never never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy Of innocence again The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me Sailing Takes me away To where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Fantasy It gets the best of me When I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony Won't you believe me It's not far back to sanity At least it's not for me And when the wind is right you can sail away And find serenity The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me |

You're the minstrel gigolo
Don't you know You sing your songs of love so soft and low And they want you more and more All the young and lonely girls wait for you There by the backstage door And they're hoping to Be the one And when you start to sing You will be their everything And when you start to sing Every woman will open up her heart And let you in |

Every once in a while
I'd see her smile And she'd turn my day around A girl with those eyes Could stare through the lies And see what your heart was saying Think of Laura but laugh don't dry I know she'd want it that way When you think of Laura laugh don't cry I know she'd want it that way A friend of a friend A friend till the end That's the kind of girl she was Taken away so young Taken away without a warning I know you and you're here In everyday we live I know her and she's here I can feel her when I sing Hey Laura, where are you now are you far away from here I don't think so I think you're here Taking our tears away |

I know
I know what's on your mind And I know it gets tough sometimes. But you can give it one more try to find a reason why You should pick it up and try it again. 'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it. I think it might just work out this time.I It's all right - I think we're gonna make it I think it might work out fine this time. It's all right - I think we're gonna make I think it might just work out 'Cause it's not too late for that - too late for me. I know I've been hurt before And I know I really shouldn't give any more. But this time this time things seem just a little different. And when I look in your eyes you know I can see that it's true. And I hear you say: It's all right - I think we're gonna make it. . . . Just when you feel helpless nothing lefl to say. Love will find us. The past behind us - then we're on our way. Time and time again I see people so unsure like me We all know it gets hard sometimes. You can give it one more try Find another reason why you should pick it up You should kick it up and try it again. 'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it. 'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it. |

Well I read it in town in the melancholy news
The front page story is our love is through The hand of time is cold -- I can't stand to hear the truth Somehow I won't believe it 'til I've heard it from you But there's no time for talk And there's no place for tears There's no reason to wonder after all of these years Sure we had some good times And so who's to blame It's so hard to tell when you both feel the pain After the years have come and gone The struggle to forget you will have just begun We had our ups and downs but one thing's for sure No one will ever love you more |

Here's a song for the hearts so lonely
The ones who feel that love won't come Looking to find that one and only I've got something to say to you You see the lovers walking down the street You feel your life's a little incomplete I know what you mean and I'm here to tell you Wipe the tears from your eyes You know I would not lie Save your love for someday, girl Someday will come soon Save your love for someday, girl Someday will come soon You give your love away to someone new Just so you can say that he belongs to you You smile and you laugh and you talk of forever I'm not so sure that it's true Don't give up on love Someday will come soon After you've found that dream you treasure After the chill has left the air All of the pieces will come together The things that two can share But only time can take you there |

Every night in my window
I see pictures of the day we met I keep wishing on the falling stars To forget you but it hasn't happened yet And I still remember when you walked away It was more than my heart could believe Careless wind blew the smell of your perfume away But the touch of you It never leaves So I'll never stop believing Someday your love is coming back to me No I'll never stop believing Someday that you'll be coming back to me Everybody in my life They say forget that girl She's gone for good How can I explain this heart It just keeps hanging on Cause something says it should Oh I go on remembering how good we were The sweetest days I'll ever know This careless boy Somehow he let you get away But the touch of you He'll never let it go Time and time again I see Just how much she meant to me Oh a love like that is meant to be She's got to come back She's got to come back |

I never had anything happen so fast
I took one look and I shattered like glass I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew That you're everything I ever wanted at once There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants And I never wanted anything more than to know you I was swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do I was swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away And so it begins This journey of love The summer wind carries us to places all our own The words of a look The language of touch The way that you want me means so much And I never wanted anything more than to love you Seeing my tomorrows in your eyes I was swept away I hope I wake up soon I'm a victim of that crazy moon The very first time you said my name I knew it would never sound the same Something about me is changed forever |

Everyone maybe once or twice
Finds a friend that's a friend for life Somebody who believed in me like you From those days of childhood fights Through the nights when we'd ask advice All of those times when nobody else would do Any old time that you wanna hear from me To find your way or kick around a memory Like the old times Any old time will do I can tell when the telephone rings It's gonna be you just to talk about things It's funny how it seems to happen when you're on my mind Every time good love goes bad When I can't believe the luck I've had All of those times I'm glad you're a friend of mine Any old time that you need to call on me To find your way or kick around those memories Like the old times Any old time will do Don't you ever forget Any old time when the road is getting rough to climb And you think maybe you've had enough Just like the old times Any old time you're blue All at once I went and got a hunch Everything we ever felt was true As we find the years behind us and we live the years ahead Let's remember laughter and all the words we said Make new friends and keep the old One is silver and the other one's gold Something Sally said that stuck in my head And I never wanna let it go Any old time that you need to lean on me I'll be there -- you can dream on me Just like the old times Any old time will do |

I was a man who always played around in love
So quick to take but so afraid to give enough But now I’ve found the one And heaven will only know What only my eyes can say And time can’t take away I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart And the dreams that young girls dream Were just vanishing in the dark But now I’ve found the one And heaven will only know What only my eyes can say They say That I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you And I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else but you Anyone else but you Now my heart belongs to you And I will always be your best friend Now my secrets are safe with you And the magic will never end Now you are the one And heaven will only know What only our eyes can say They say That I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you. And I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else but you anyone else but you, anyone else but you. You (you)..oohhh. That I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you. Now I will take you forever And there will never be anyone else but you anyone else but you. I will girl take you forever By your side I won’t leave you never I don’t need anyone else but you And I will take you… ohhh…forever. Ohh… I will (I will) take you forever. |

We all know how the story begins
How we fall so easily in To love Then a boy breaks a girl's heart A girl breaks a boy's heart Goodbye is a very hard word to forget But I think I finally met The girl To take away those yesterdays Oh she loves me, she told me so As a tear came to her eye And I love her, I will, I know Love her for the rest of my life Once more I'm feeling like I'm out of control Cause the girl's got a serious hold On me And part of me says run away But I wanna stay Should I be up front or cool Which way is playing the fool The only time I know what's right Is when I hear her telling me Somewhere there's a star in the sky of every night Shining for the love of hearts The light of that star, like the hand of a friend Leading me back to love again If you love her let her know Let her see all the secrets in your heart If she loves you she'll only love you more As she find out who you are |

I woke up to my world this morning
Took a long look in the looking glass Last night I guess I had one or too many Somebody tried to tell me I had no class What ever happened to me Maybe I've been living on lies Never really had a dream come true Then again I guess I never really tried Now the years all slip away And things are like they're gonna stay All the roads I didn't take are just One more thing in the back of my mind Taking space and time Wish I'd finished that book I never started Maybe that's the story of my life Should've learned to play that saxophone So I could tell my song to the streetlight Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own Could've had a wife and a child Should've made that house a home I don't know why my life is so wild Now the years all slip away And things are like they're gonna stay All the chances I didn't take are just One more thing in the back of my mind Taking space and time One more thing in the back of my mind So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight I've got to get my shadow behind me Try and make some sense of it all With my feet on the ground and my heart still free As the years will slip away I'll let the cards fall where they may And all the roads I didn't take will be just One more thing in the back of my mind As the years will slip away And the cards fall as they may All the chances I didn't take will be just One more thing in the back of my mind Taking space and time One more thing in the back of my mind One more thing in the back of my mind |

It's a calm wind blowing on my skin
And I've been dreaming again Now that we're all here We can share these notes and all this madness We can talk of innocence And of all the things we believe in Is it an alibi Is it the reason why Is it the way we really feel inside Set it free The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light That helps me see the path ahead of me I can feel that something A hint of mystery A trace of dare To live the truth I hide somewhere Daybreak In a place I've known before Will I find me behind that final door I can hear the footsteps of the past I can feel the thunder and it's coming fast I'm gonna spend some time with the moon Pour myself a glass of midnight Keep myself in tune Is it an alibi Is it the tears I cry Is it the way I see it through your eyes The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light That helps me see the path ahead of me I can feel that something A hint of mystery A trace of dare To live the truth I hide somewhere |

Forgot to count my blessings again The road looks lonely, I could use a friend Looking for somebody to forgive my sins And just one look in your eyes Before I go so I'll know Somebody loves me All the wise men, all the years Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors A dark companion, the one called fear Take the holy water wash away the tears One hope I will find The harmony of heart and mind So I will know The way to give as I live And I know there will be A certain amount of uncertainty But I must know That you are there to hear my prayers One wish there will be In this place a time for me When I will know Before I go Somebody loves me Just one look in your eyes Before I go so I'll know Somebody loves me All the wise men, all the years Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors A dark companion, the one called fear Take the holy water wash away the tears One hope I will find The harmony of heart and mind So I will know |

All across the sky
The mysteries of faith Fossils of desire all assume their rightful place Is there any danger in their fire Is there any solace in their wake Could it really make a world of difference for goodness' sake Train rolls a cappella To a sympathetic moon Carrying the stories of every heart - earned wound Will there be a lover at the station Will there be a last conductor's call Will there really be a happy ending after all To the rendezvous Fortunes to be told To the rendezvous Wonders to behold Onto a place where we can find Maybe a trace of peace of mind To the rendezvous all in good time Painting the horizon A mast beyond the blue Caught up in the tempest of another point of view Could there be a mutiny in the making Could it be a lorelei in song Is it just a ghost that's been forgiven all along Will there be a jewel beneath the boulder Will there be a pride beyond the fall Will there really be a happy ending after all Will there be a pride beyond the fall Will there really be a happy ending after all To the rendezvous Fortunes to be told To the rendezvous Wonders to behold Onto a place where people find Maybe a trace of peace of mind To the rendezvous all in good time |

I've heard there could be desire So strong you would brave the fire Until now I made them liars Now there is you 'Cause something about your touch Is making me feel too much And letting you go is such a hard thing to do And when the dawn is closing in I know I need to drown in your love again I'd chase the night across the world To spend one more minute with you When morning lay just ahead And daybreak invades our bed I'll steal you away instead And fly to the dark 'Cause when the dawn is closing in I know I need to drown in your love again I'd chase the night across the world To spend one more minute with you Alone with you Hold on Our wings will not fail us On to Babylon Where the light can't find us Hold on Hold on Baby hold on In the heat of this desperate hour We will follow the moon and its power That fever that we must devour Over and over again |

Some deep sadness you can never quite disguise Now I'm scared to ask what it's leading to But I'm more afraid of not asking you Is there something that you want to tell me Is there something that I ought to know Are we something that's still worth fighting for Or should I simply let you go Is there something I can do to reach you Are we something more than history I'll find some way to convince you to stay If you just tell me honestly Is there something left of you and me You've got secrets you've been keeping for too long And I'm going crazy acting like there's nothing wrong I can taste the truth every time we kiss And I can't go on At least not like this I don't want to lose you But what's the use of holding on I don't really have you If the feeling's gone Is there something I can do to reach you Are we something more than history If there's no way to convince you to stay And be the way we used to be Then there's something that I want to tell you And I want you to believe it's true We had something that I'll never forget Even if I wanted to 'Cause part of me will always be with you |

The boys find a home in a family born of hate The girls plant desperate love In a womb that just won't wait Forgotten mother pushes a cart with her heart Through a twisted fate As walls come down and spirits rise The business of fear never dies The artful dodgers with their false alarms Take from the mouths to feed the arms Pit god against god for a piece of land They think they hear his words but they don't understand Like a river lost on its way to the sea Where is humanity I know that nothing will change 'Til it changes in me 'Til it changes in you There's a plague upon the body A plague upon the mind While the bridge is burning are we deaf dumb and blind >From the fallen forest to the poison bay The world is turning Turning out that way Fe fi fo fum I smell the blood of an Englishman Fe fi fo fum I smell the blood of an Irishman I smell the blood of an African I smell the blood of Americans I smell the blood of a Chinaman I smell the blood of an Indian I smell the blood of Rumanians I smell the blood of a Latin American I smell the blood of a million sons I smell the blood of everyone |

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?" When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ...... The best that you can do is fall in love Arthur he does as he pleases All of his life, he's mastered choice Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy Living his life one day at a time And showing himself a really good time Laughing about the way they want him to be When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ..... The best that you can do is fall in love When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ..... The best that you can do is fall in love |

You've seen my face
Hey don't you know my name It wasn't all that long ago I had my fifteen minutes of fame If it was you caught in a crazy game Would you still look as good standing in the rain Whatever gets you through the night Take it from me -- it's gonna be alright Been there done that Been there -- then somebody takes you back Been there done that So hard, hard to avoid the trap They break your heart -- why do we let them in The drug is strong but the will is weak We make the same mistakes again There comes a time we all gotta rise above Look inside and redefine just what it is we want from love Been there done that Been there -- still working my way back Been there done that So hard, hard to avoid the trap And when you feel strong enough to face up to it You're gonna do just fine |

Out here on the plains tonight The white man rules the game Searching through the flames tonight There's no one left to blame This town just don't seem big enough For the likes of the two of us Here in the wild wild west In the wild wild west my friend Living in the wild wild west In the wild wild west again We left our bootprint on the shore And rode off on toward sunset We left the natives on the cutting room floor And the shooting's still not done yet Lazy boy and channel three Bourbon and contrition Say a prayer for the NRA And pass the ammunition Mercy Folly and frustration Mercy Too much information Mercy Desperate situation Here in the wild wild west In the wild wild west my friend |

In this land of accessories The obsolescent sheen Like so many fools before us Lost in dreams What's behind the curtain The dinette or the stole Such important choices To satisfy the soul Take it on down to the wishing well Make a wish to stop your wishing 'Cause you just can't tell Give it up The power of suggestion The tabloids and the tube Muscles and money Tits and glory What's your story Are we so unhappy Being what we are Sly told us a long time ago Everybody is a star Give it up |

Ooh ooh oooh oooh ooh
Thinkin' 'bout you Oooh ooh ooh ooh Thinkin' 'bout I've been thinkin' bout you Thinkin' 'bout all the things that couldn't come true I've been thinkin' 'bout you And how much I'll miss having you to talk to Now that I'm on my own I don't need to hold you But I'd love to There's beauty in monochrome I promise not to linger But somehow lately I've been thinkin' 'bout you Thinkin' 'bout all those things we put ourselves through Incompatibly Playing out our restless parts so crazy and free Those nights when we talked til the sun We had all the answers We were dancers Then time caught us both on the run In our own directions Headed for the moon I know you And I know that you think of me too All is well Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you Thinkin' 'bout you I've been thinkin' 'bout you How you said you'd never change and hoping it's true In your impetuous way You brought out the kind of fire still with me today When you told me you had to go Off to chase the rainbow Oh it hurt me so The pain didn't kill me though I will always be here The soul outlives the heart I know you And I know that you think of me too All is well Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you Thinkin' 'bout you There was a time when our lives were a tangle Between our hands and Jacob's ladder Nothing mattered Indelible and dear Indelible and dear I know you And I know that you think of me too All is well Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you I know you And I know that you think of me too All is well Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you Thinkin' 'bout you I've been thinkin' 'bout you I've been thinkin' 'bout I've been thinkin' 'bout you I've been thinkin' 'bout I've been thinkin' 'bout |

Lost in the future Worried about the past Willful and lazy Pedaling nowhere fast She works her wonders Keeping me in today Reaching through my darkness Reminding me how to play And she says Save your sadness for the bad times Time is not your enemy Save your sadness for the bad times For now you are with me Nothing is certain Certainly nothing new Hoping some light shines On us before we're through She spends her heartbeats Seeing the best in you As I learn my mind the more I find The things she says are true You live gracefully Having faith in me She says Save your sadness for the bad times Time is not your enemy Save your sadness for the bad times For now Save your sadness for the bad times For now you are with me |

Every night
I open up my window Open up my window And let your love come in Every night that I'm away from you This old bed seems way too big And my dreams so small Goin' through the motions As I stare out from my room I begin to realize That we're sharin' the same moon Lying here hugging my pillow in the dark Dreaming of your comfort Fightin' the lonely in my heart And I thought I felt you touch me In that old familiar way When the wind came through the curtains And I heard it call your name Ooh the time goes draggin' by Send my love across the sky Maybe it's all that I can do Baby until I'll be with you I missed you girl more than you'll ever know I kept a little vigil by my window It's funny but it's true Darlin' I did the same for you Now no matter where we are We can wish upon that star |

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong It's nature's way of telling you in a song It's nature's way of receiving you It's nature's way of retrieving you It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong It's nature's way of telling you on the breeze It's nature's way of telling you--dying trees It's nature's way of telling you to slow down It's nature's way of telling you--look around It's nature's way of finding you It's nature's way of reminding you It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong |

As the sun rises it soon compromises the safety of night And two travelers in spite of themselves Have to push on Mornings remind them of things left behind them One a good wife and the other a life with no name So they push on Over the hills and the plains they ride Sharing the unwritten law they abide Two uncharted hearts in the silence of their own flight The journey they measure in danger and pleasure One likes to bluff and the other is tough on the girls Still they push on Roll the bones Devil-may-care No questions asked Barely friends Two solitaires Needing each other out there They build a good fire before they retire Searching the flame for a moment of blameless repose A way to push on Lessons come hard on this brave terrain They may run free but they're still in the rain Two uncharted hearts in the silence of their own flight |

I look out on the city lights
The guarded streets below I marvel at my history The things that I don't know Just another question A shadow on my soul Will there be time Will there be time before I go I left home in a hurry Off to see the world Then I played some music Then I loved a girl Someone called me papa Took my breath away Would I be fine Would I be alright with just today Will there be time enough for me before I go Love without rules Love without end Sending a lofty prayer for peace out on the wind Breaking the curse Breaking the chain..... Making a promise I won't have to make again I look out on the city lights The stories that they tell And wonder at my destiny Beyond this carousel Such a hollow question A tether frayed by fear Will there be time Time to let go while I'm here Will there be time enough for me so I'll know Will there be time enough for me before I go |

The journey has been long A thousand memories strong Faced with the night Not caring who is right Looking for the laughter that's been gone How did we used to touch Why do we think so much We tire of the words of reflection And long for affection For the lovers' rush Now that we're here after all of these years Love is calling Now that we're here so far and so near Love is calling Time and again we've tried To let our feelings slide Endless negotiations And unmet expectations Let's set it all aside Now that we're here and our motives are clear Love is calling Now that we're here--plaintive, sincere Love is calling I have been lying still I have been lying still Dreaming of the truth The journey has been long The candor made us strong Holding you tonight In this familiar light Can we take this sweetness to the dawn Now that we're here and the walls disappear Love is calling Now that we're here and there's no one to fear Love is calling Now that we're here after all of the tears Love is calling Now that we're here--we're finally here Love is calling I have been lying still I have been lying still Dreaming of the truth The journey has been long The candor made us strong Holding you tonight In this familiar light Can we take this sweetness to the dawn Now that we're here And the walls disappear Love is calling Now that we're here And there's no one to fear Love is calling |

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find tranquility The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me It's not far to never never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy Of innocence again The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me Sailing Takes me away To where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Fantasy It gets the best of me When i'm sailing All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony Won't you believe me It's not far back to sanity At least it's not for me And when the wind is right you can sail away And find serenity The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me |
