Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting?
What, my love, are you contemplating? Time goes by still you never bat an eye, Tell me why, my love, do you have to stay far away? Late at night while I lay asleepin', Pale moonlight through my window weepin', I see you in a color fantasy, cover me Why, my love, do you have to fade away, Have to fade away? Why my love, won't you tell me Why, my love, do you keep me waiting? Why, my love, Are you hesitating? Time goes by, are you waiting For another day? Tell me why you think Time will never fade away? |

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side? I maybe climbing on rainbows But, baby here goes. Dreams there for those who sleep, Life is for us to keep, And if you're wond'ring What this song is leading to I want to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. No, you don't know me well, 'N' ev'ry little thing only time will tell, But you believe the things that I do. And we'll see it through. Life can be short or long, Love can be right or wrong, And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through, I'd like to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. Baby you know that Dreams they're for those who sleep, Life is for us to keep And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through, I'd like to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. |

I'd like to take you home girl, and make you mine.
I'd get you all alone girl, and take my time. Think how you feel in your heart when you climb to the top of, Of a big roller coaster ride. You're gettin' high on desire worth waitin' On the other side. I'd like to treat you nice girl, and treat you mean. I'd get you on your own girl, and fill your dreams. Think how you feel in your heart when you get to the fall, Of a big roller coaster ride. That's how it is and the way that it would be If you come with me. Blue satin pillow, Black satin silhou- Ette on the window Shade of the night. Soft light a glowin' Sweet night a goin' Out like the candle's Flickerin' light You know by now it's your love that I'm after And I don' want no alibi. There's just no need to take no for an answer, Yes is in your eyes. (fading ...) I'd like to take you home girl, and make you mine. I'd get you all alone girl, and take my time. I'd like to treat you nice girl, and treat you mean. |

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. |

Day breaks around me;
I've lost another night's iife. Now it's as clear as it can be; I want you with me. Echoes surround me; Shadows of things that once were. They seem to say it so easy. I want you with me, want you with me, Want you with me, and i need you by my side. I need you with me; my heart is pinnin' for you, Soon i'll be back and then you'll see, With you i want me. I want and need you by my side |

We're, we're comin' apart again
We're goin' back, back to the start again. Don't, don't talk about right or wrong; We closed our eyes, and our time was gone. Time, time is life, and life is time. I'm takin' yours, and you are takin' mine Don't, don't take it too hard my friend, Cause I, I take it to heart my friend. There's, there's something in time again That heals all of the pain that's been. Time , time is life and one must choose; You've taken more out of me than you'll ever hope to use. Time n' time again, I've told you so. You've taken more from me, And it's time for me to go. |

Easy love, she's just a part of the day.
Easy love, she comes to give it away. Easy to find her; any line will bind her. What was her name. easy to quit her No, she won't be bitter; ali in the game Easy love, she's got a present for you Easy love, got nothin' better to do Yesterday's lovers slide beneath the covers. Why do they hide? what does it matter? Love and idle chatter all for the ride. |

Here in the afterglow of what we've done, what remains
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 |

When you can't find a feeling inside, And You think that there's no place to hide, You're gonna see call on me. Call on, call on me. When you find that you need to be found, And you start to come looking around You'll come to me call on me. If you find that it's drivin' you sad, Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.

So as you go to find yourself,
Don't look too hard, You may pass yourself by, Reaching too high, Wanting the other side of life. And as you go to take your place, Don't go too fast, Just pretend there's no end, Make yourself last Till the other side of iife. One day you'll find Your restless searching at an end, You'll think the world has changed But it's just you my friend. So as you go to please your heart. Please take your time, Someone's waiting there too, Waiting for you On the other side of life. She's waiting for you On the other side of life. |

I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that i had not been able to see I saw someone that i'm not sure i want to be An empty lonely face was starin' back at me All and all, i would have to say It's been a rather dismal day The afternoon was slow in coming I drug myself outside the people that i knew would be there And though they walked along pretending not to care I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare Chorus And now the evening shadow's falling I guess it's best i lay my hopes to rest for noone's calling my name I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on Chorus |

I know the times the times are hard to bear
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..... |

I'm driftin' down the street
Asking of all I meet Don't you know me from somewhere Hazel eyes and curly hair Have you seen me anywhere Look at me I'm blending into the wall And I wonder if I'm really here at all Time goes by So do I But no one blinks an eye Mirrors aren't reflecting me Laws aren't protecting And no one's expecting me On the edge I feel like I'm going to fall And I wonder if I'll never land at well Loneliness comes and stays Torturing nights and days People stare but cannot speak Hearts are strong But tongues are weak Maybe all our minds are meek Look at me I'm fading into the floor And wonder if I'm living anymore. |

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. |

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 |
