Be kind to me
Be kind to me Be kind to me Oh baby and I'll show you the way Kindness is a virtue Come on now babe It won't hurt you to be A victim of kindness No more hesitations We don't need no Explanations this time We'll leave them behind us While you play the martyr You know you just make it harder for us To love one another So much indecision That don't mean you Got religion I think You're gonna discover Be kind to me |

Hear - the knock at the door and you know who is there,
you tell yourself you don't care. Try - you try to pretend you'll just send him away, you know it won't end that way Your heart doesn't stand a chance, your eyes let him know And your pride doesn't means a thing - you lost it for him years ago; Hear - the voice at the door and it makes you afraid, afraid but you don't know how. Try - you try to remind him the promise he made, he doesn't remember now The tears welling up inside, are drowning your dreams And your chance for another chance, keep leaving with him so it seems Time - the friend that would bring him around, Is turning on you and it's bringing you down. Love - you tell him you love him and want him to change, he says that he'll really try, Hear - how often you hear as he's closing the door. And softly you say goodbye... Come again Come again |

He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand Such a good lad And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way To show you the things that he never could say; He's a good lad A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind He ain't so bad Right to the end he's a friend, about the best you can find And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you. And he needs somebody to love Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of - He's a good lad And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true And he needs somebody to love Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of - He's a good lad. |

It's my only dream Dream it every night It's about a girl who makes the waters still Takes my troubled mind And makes it all seem right... Oh what a change, what a change that would be I can feel it comin' over me, Maybe it's strange, strange to say But I can't remember how How it used to be. You could be the answer or another dream Just another dream How will I know I'm afraid to wake up now and face the day Comes the light of day She'll have to go or stay... Oh what a change, what a change that would be Just to wake and find you still here, 'Cause every time, time before When I open up my eyes You always disappear. We could sit and hope that you'll be seen We could talk about the world and in between, And when the morning light was through Then I could see if it was really you. |

Always look so good on the outside
When you get to believin' it's true, then you know that you're on your way People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky You've got ev'rything you want, but you don't Yet you dare not say Go downtown people runnin' around They climb slowly draggin' you downtown, Horns make a dent in your mind Plush rooms make a blindin' your eye to see, blindin' me. Light, lovely light, Won't ya' shine in my window Love, precious love won't ya' fill ev'ry room, Been too long on the road. Maybe cynics veins are my life blood Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed so I'll try Try to understand what it is that devours your freedom, Makes you drop what you used to hold in your head. All the things you planned Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares, Like the devil she does, what comes ever into your mind Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room, oldest gloom. Warm, won't you be, Please be there in my winter. Love, precious love won't ya' come full circle, Been too long on the road How can I do this to myself? Have I taken leave of my senses? What kind of changes make a man want to tear down all his fences Whoa, I'd like to know Home, ever home, How could I ever doubt you Love, precious love, how could I live without you? Been too long on the road. |

Here in the after show of what we've seen Is it strange to be falling away now Or would you say we should have known It would end this way and both of us turn to dust We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies We got over our head and never realized When, how or why? But now as I sit reflecting on your face in my hand Now I can see your picture helps retrace all the steps we took, places we went to, thoughts that we tried, tripping along on a love we never understood with no guide Many things were taken for granted all along Firm foundations never were planted all went wrong Down, we fell down and broke in a million pieces We couldn't put it all together We couldn't put it all together again |

It's hard to find someone to really care But before i went down and out Here's what i used to think about, think about: London bridge is always fallin' down, But there it stood within the heart of town Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come The changes taking place are everywhere The centuries past have nothing to compare Where they stand, where they trip and fall Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall London bridge is fallin' down at last, And so another memory of the past Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid I know things just can't evolve for all eternity The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see London bridge is finally fallin' down, It packed it up and shipped it outta town And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on London bridge is finally fallin' down, It used to stand within the heart of town Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come London bridge is finally fallin' down..... |

The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize
And finally blind me The downy softness of herself forever lingering Behind me Never ever has there been Nor will ever be again One someone to give you love, tenderness and be Your friend Hanging on 'till the bitter end You can't measure the cost of a woman lost But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need. I've tried to look inside myself To find the strength from which to draw from The view she saw from. Since she tried to go too deep Limitations brought her down And though I'd like to free her mind Visitations bring a frown I gotta find the place she found You can't measure the cost of a woman lost But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there. Where she is no one seems to know The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems. The morning mist that melts upon the meadow Brings a touch of sorrow The one I kissed is all alone And may or may not know tomorrow. Just an ordinary girl To the ordinary eye But so much deeper goes the vein Like the glittering of gold you want to touch Then you gotta hold You can't measure the cost of a woman lost. |
