Sue Lee has a razor blade - she walks by the scenery
She lives by the water-glade - smokestack and the greenery
She lives by the open field - digs clams with her family
They eat what the waters yield - no fear of any enemy
She'll be your wings - she'll be your love
She'll take you to the stars above
She'll make you sing - she'll make you wise
When you wade in the rivers - of her eyes
Sue Lee has a motorbike - sun glass and a memory
Long days on a hunger strike - late nights as a refugee
She lives in a little house - says prayers with her family
They live in a little house - they live with the memory
She'll be your wings - she'll be your love
She'll take you to the stars above
The sampan sings and the dragon flies
When you wade in the rivers of her eyes
She hums when she sings and she plays in the field
She laughs and she loves what the stars revealed
She smiles when she looks at the world around
With her high-top sneakers and her hard-rock sound
Sue Lee has a razor blade - she walks by the scenery
She lives by the water-glade - smokestack and the greenery
She lives in a little house - says prayers with her family
Make me a believer baby
I want to believe in the power of love
Make me a believer baby
Cuz I feel the strength of your love
Ooh yeah
Now now
I learned about love like a game you play
And when it don€™t mean nothing to you, you give it away
But that was nothing more than infatuation
Just a long long promise of a sweet sensation
I need a love like I€™ve never known
The kind of love that you feel in your bones
I learn how, now I want to know why
So take me to the highest high
And make me a believer
I want to believe in the power of love
Make me a believer baby
I just want to feel the strength of your love
You can€™t learn about love from a magazine
There is no match made in heaven
Ain€™t no living dream a love now I need a love
Make me come undone, tell me why
I get the feeling honey, you€™re the one
To feel the power of your tender touch
I never wanted a man so much
Yeah, I know how, now I want to know why
So take me to the highest high
And make me a believer
I want to believe in the power of love
Make me a believer baby
I want to receive the power of love
Make me a believer
I just want to feel the strength of your love
We are each only have of a life
As a mother is half of a child
There€™s a freedom that true love can bring
But you gotta let your heart run wild
And make me a believer baby
I want to believe in the power
Make me a believer baby
I just want to feel the strength of your love
Make me a believer baby
I wanna receive the power of love
Make me a believer baby
Sometimes I'd like to quit you
and find somebody who
Don't know me quite as well
Yeah like a gypsy she would be my jewel
Spend my days in her lovin' spell
But baby I fit you like a worn-out glove
You know I ain't going nowhere
There ain't nothing we can't rise above
We've still got a lifetime to share
CHORUS:
Isn't it enough that I still love you
Isn't it enough to make you stay
Don't make me suffer baby
Don't throw it all away
Now I know you're tired and feelin' all alone
I know what you're going through
I'll satisfy your fire but I'm not made of stone
Tell me what more can I do
CHORUS
Now can you look in my eyes and tell me
there's nothing there
You know I've compromised enough
to show I care
So isn't it enough
Sometimes I'd like to quit you
and find somebody who
Don't know me quite the same
But it took so long just to get this far
I'll be damned if I'll do it again
REPEAT CHORUS TO END
Baby listen you gotta do
What you believe
But where€™s it written you have
To get down on your knees
And give away your heart and soul
You believe it that€™s how love€™s
Supposed to be
Don€™t you feel it drag you down
From underneath
You€™re drowning but you won€™t let go
Someday you€™re gonna give up
More then your heart can take
It€™s too bad you gotta find out
After it€™s just too late
There€™s such a thing as too much love
You€™re hanging on
Dancing in the driving rain
Blacking out the part that makes you feel the pain
Pretending that you just don€™t know
Someday you€™re gonna give up
More then your heart can take
It€™s too bad you gotta find out
After it€™s just too late
There€™s such a thing as too much love
You think more love
Will cover up your tracks
But you blind yourself
To the cold hard facts
You€™re in a turn down
Feel so much but there€™s no way out
Cause your sweet dreams turning to a time bomb now
On the wire holding on
Use you up until the till is gone
Keep on wondering
Say why does love have to be so sad
Cause you keep throwing good love
After bad
Someday you€™re gonna give up
More then your heart can take
It€™s too bad you gotta find out
After it€™s just too late
There€™s such a thing as too much love baby
Someday you€™re gonna give up
More then your heart can take
It€™s too bad you gotta find out
After it€™s just too late
There€™s such a thing as too much love baby
Someday
I been standin€™ on the water€™s edge
Now you want to pull me in
But I been standin here too long
I can€™t remember if I can swim
Do you believe that people change
Now baby
Tell me that you see a change in me
I€™m ready to begin
Cause I climbed a mountain, that ain€™t so tough
Now I€™m going down to the river of love
I made some money, it€™s never enough
Now I€™m going down to the river of love
Follow me down, down, down to the river
Now your big blue skies
And your deep blue water
Will not wash away the past
But to my heart I will surrender
And swear this time will be the last
And maybe I€™m afraid of losing baby
Maybe it€™d be worse to win
Either way I€™m jumping in
I climbed a mountain, that ain€™t so tough
Now I€™m going down to the river of love
I made some money, it€™s never enough
Now I€™m going down to the river of love
Follow me down, down, down to the river
And I was thirsty baby
You came and filled me up
And now I€™m ready, ready baby
To drown in your river of love
I climbed a mountain, that ain€™t so tough
Now I€™m going down to the river of love
If it€™s too sweet I may never come up
I€™m going down to the river of love
I€™ve moved some mountains, that ain€™t so tough
Now I€™m going down to the river of love
If it€™s too sweet I may never come up
I wanna drown in your river of love
Follow me down, down, down
To the river
I took a walk today through these grey
and dirty streets
Thinking of you, missing you,
and hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell my legs where to go
They just walked down to the dock
I sat on the edge fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside
refrain:
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, oh
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I'd confide
And hearing this
The river cried
I saw myself today through these grey
and dirty streets
Did you have to leave this town
or did you just have to leave me?
All these questions echo in my mind
Why didn't I see the signs?
The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going
Waiting for you to return my sigh.
refrain
In the name of the fifty-three saints
I will go searching says
Seek out the hurt he says
Where comes this pain
Could it be a whirlwind spinning in the dark
An animal in your heart he says
I will find the same in time
One moment to another
One moment to another
One moment to another
With the baby that went before
There will be no suffering says
There will be no hurt he says
For either or the one
He will into this world
He€™s an easy thing he says
No mishappenings he says
The innocent will come in time
One moment to another
One moment to another
One moment to another
There will be no suffering
There will be no hurt
I'm no angel, it's hard to hide,
Got a rebel mouth and a ticket to ride
I'm no angel, but I'm not so tough
The boys in the town are gonna treat you rough
They're all heroes in the darkness
When they talk in the street
They can make anything dirty
That's supposed to be sweet
I'm no angel, not a slave to love
But this pain in my heart, it fits me like a glove
The world keeps turning, I can't stand still
Something gonna save me, I know it will
And I hear it in the darkness
When I let myself go
I can hear it in my heart
And I just wanna know
CHORUS:
What's that sound, well it knocked me down
I wanna be a rock 'n' roll girl
What's that sound
It's a heartache heard round the world
If it calls and it calls every boy and girl
It's a heartache heard round the world
What's that sound
It's a heartache heard round the world
I'm not crazy, well maybe I am
'Cause I just wanna sing like Bobby Blue Bland
And if I'm dreaming don't you wake me up
'Cause life's too short and I can't get enough
I feel it in the darkness
When I let myself go
There's just something inside us
And I just wanna know
CHORUS
Can you hear it in the darkness
When you let yourself go
I can hear it in my heart
And I just wanna know
Now why did you tell me
That you won't see me no more
I say baby, baby, baby do you
Wanna watch me crawl across the floor
'Cause anyone can learn to pull the trigger
Anyone can break a heart in two
It's so easy for you
But if there's love in your heart
Just let it shine, shine, shine
Let it shine, shine, shine
Let it shine, shine, shine
All over me, yeah, oh yeah
One day you'll turn around
When all your friends are gone, oh
You'll be sorry boy
But sorry won't keep you warm, no
So darling hold me now my heart is hungry
All I need is a taste of you
Let love pull us through
And like a light in the dark
Just let it shine, shine, shine
Let it shine, shine, shine
Let it shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
And all of your days, baby
All of your nights
I'll make you shimmer with love
A brilliant sacrifice
Ain't nobody out there
Gonna love you this way
So come build me a fire
Do you hear what I say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Just let it shine, shine, shine
I wanna feel it shine, shine, shine
I wanna see it shine, shine, shine
All over me
And I wanna feel your love for me
And I wanna touch your love for me
And I wanna see your love for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And all of your days baby
And all of your nights
I'll make you shimmer with love
A brilliant sacrifice
Shine, shine
Anyone can learn to pull the trigger
And anyone can break a heart in two
Lizzy got married on Christmas Day
On the Coney Island Coast, I remember the way
She stood in the cold with the sun in her hair
Me and my brother were standing by
I remember my mother started to cry
Liz just looked at the sea, a million miles away
I said, "Now Lizzy can you tell me what you see?
And tell me why you keep a looking out there
Why you keep searching out there?
When everything you?ll ever want or need
Is right here with me
Yeah, and I took a ride with whoever would ask
I looked for the future, was done with the past and the present
Hey, that was just something to get through
And the nights went by and the years went too
My life was a mirror, the reflection was you
And at the end of the day my voice was so far away
Ooh, but maybe you could tell me who I am
And tell me why I keep a looking out there
Why I keep searching out there
For something you can?t taste or touch or see
No, no, no, 'cause it?s right here in me
And I know it?s all an illusion
You see what you wanna see
And I know, I know, ain?t nothing gonna rescue me now
I can take all this confusion
I just wanna be here now
Everything you?ll ever want or need
I know, I know, I know, it?s right here
I keep a looking out there
I keep searching out there
For something you can?t taste or touch or see
No, no, no, 'cause it?s right here
I said
"Na na na
Na na na
Na na na"
You run, run, runaway
It's your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized
Well isn't love primitive?
A wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill
Your heart's still wild
Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang!
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
You talk, talk, talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite, oh
Who's the hunter, who's the game?
I feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged in the call of the wild
Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang!
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior
Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang!
I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
Someone keeps callin'
You pick it up, and you're talkin' real low
I watch the rain fallin'
Just like I'm watchin' you go
Why you have to sound so happy, baby?
Why can't I feel nothin' at all?
When you hung the moon
In a big empty sky
An' said you would love me
And I'd never cry
But I've cried so much
Now the moon's turning blue
Baby
Tell me, what else can I do
And the shadows grow longer
I'm watching this house burning down
I want to be stronger
But all this heartache's just wearing me down
An' I remember we were happy
An' all our days baby, they found their time
'Cause you hung the moon
In that big empty sky
An' said you would love me
And I'd never cry
But I've cried so much
Now the moon's turning blue
Baby
Tell me, what else can I do?
'Cause you hung the moon
In that big empty sky
An' said you would love me
And I'd never cry
Honey, I've cried so much
Now the moon's turning blue
Baby
Tell me, what else can I do?
Baby
Time goes by, I fall out of touch
I can't explain why I fall so much
I bought a pack of cigarettes
Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address
The weather's here, wish I was fine
Wish that you could read between the lines
'Cause you dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
I wish I were you
'Cause I am nothing
You are more than flesh and blood, a golden door
Let me come inside of you
Let me do the things I wanna do
Now take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give
'Cause you dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
'Cause you are like the ocean
I'm a river that's run dry
If you cannot reach me
All my wild flowers they will die, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give, yeah, yeah, yeah
You dream in colors
My night it comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
I wish I were you, yeah I wish I were you
Just wish I were you
Take me down to where you live
And take the things I cannot give
You can take me down to where you live
Now there's a place I go with a boy I know
We're together, gettin' better all the time
And there are words I say when we hide away
Makes him crazy, makes him love me all the time
And no one knows
How love goes
It's a mystery
But it's clear to me
And now
Love is gonna getcha
Love is gonna find ya
Love is right behind ya
Love has got a line on you
When I close my eyes
Oh the time slips by
Cause I can see him oh so clearly in my mind
And it's so real, this love I feel
It's a mystery
But it's clear to me
Don't you know that
Love is gonna getcha
Love is gonna find ya
Love is right behind ya
Love has got a line you
It's got a line on you
Baby love has got line on you
So some know why
I'm the only one
It's a mystery
But it's clear to see
Whoa tell her that
Love is gonna getcha
Love is gonna find ya
Love is right behind ya
Love has got a line on
Love is gonna getcha
Love is gonna find ya
Love is right behind you baby
Love has got a line on you
It's got a line on you
It's got a line on you
Love has got a line on you
It's got a line on you
It's gonna find you
I woke up this morning
feeling lonely
There's so much my heart just
does not understand
There were times
nothing really mattered
Now I find
I care too much
There's life in everything I touch
Look at what love has done to me
I am not who I used to be
Everything is changing
And I will never be the same
Look at what love has done to us
Will we ever learn to trust
We're runnning out of time
There's so little time
Baby look at what love has done to me
Oh yea
Now it's late at night
I'm here without you
I'm trying to make my way
To where you are
Can't you see
I'll still be here waiting
Can't you see
Our two hearts
Were always meant to be as one
Look at what love done to us
When will we ever learn to trust
We're running out of time
There's so little time, baby
Will you look at what love has done to me
Calling out your name, baby
Calling out, calling out
Yea yea yea
And look at what love has done to us
When will we ever learn to trust
We're running out of time
There's so, so little time baby
Look what love has done
Baby look what love has done to me
Look what love has done
Darling, darling, darling,
I`ll never understand
how sometimes just the way you look at me
Can tear up my heart
But then again
Darling, darling, darling
Don`t look across the room
Cuz you might catch me looking at you
Should we know what to say
Or what to do
So hold on
Don`t turn away
There must be a hundred things
We forgot to say
How can we touch
With our hands tied
When only you know how much
You keep me satisfied
How can we explain
This photo play locked up inside
With our hands tied?
Darling, darling, darling
If you think this love is blind
Just remember
Each time you squeeze her hand
You crush my heart
Oh and you just could be
Driving me out of my mind
Darling, darling, darling
I`ll never let it show
As long as you go on leaving me
I`ll fall apart each time you go
So hold on
Don`t take my heart away
She may be one good reason to leave
But I`m a hundred reasons to stay
How can we touch
With our hands tied
When only you know
How much you keep me satisfied
How can we explain
This photo play locked up inside
Those times, I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know, you never got by your fear to choose
And I guess, I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
How could I have loved someone like
The one I see in you?
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love and my love
And my love
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
How could I have loved someone like the one I see in you?
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess, it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye baby
So long darling
Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Ooh, be careful of 'em in the dark
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
can't you hear me now
can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight
Ooh, on a downtown train
Every night it's just the same
You leave me lonely, now
I know your window; I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four way
You watch them as they fall
And they all catch heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, Baby
But they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight
Baby, on a downtown train
Every night, every night, is just the same
You leave me lonely, now
Will I see you tonight
Ooh, on a downtown train
All my dreams just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train
Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
can't you hear me now
can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight
Baby, on a downtown train
Every night, every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely, now
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All my dreams just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train
All the boys on the avenue,
She’s already kissed them good-bye,
And like sparks from the summer night fire- works,
She’s all ready to fly,
And her body’s saying,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
There’s a wildness that clings to her hair,
And her blue eyes are pulling you near,
Oh they shine so bright,
Shining like carnival lights.
She talked about leaving,
But nobody paid her much mind,
You see her words made them feel like she’d already left them behind,
Then she took a train that was Baltimore bound,
And in the distance,
The lights of her town,
They faded back into the sound that called across the night,
Calling like carnival lights.
Then they danced together,
The moonlight and the water,
The train, the girl, the coast,
And you could see her through the window,
Spinning and shimmering bright,
Just like the carnival lights.
All the boys on the avenue,
There standing here waitin’ for a sign,
But now she’s down in the Florida winter ground,
Throwing kisses to the sky,
And her body’s saying,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
There’s a wildness that clings to her new black hair,
And her blue eyes are pulling you near,
Oh they shine so bright,
Shining like carnival lights,
See her shine so bright,
Shining like carnival lights,
So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
The heat of the sun
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away
So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
What can't be undone
Was maybe never meant to be
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
The street that night
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away (Musical Break)
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the tears are dark
And we stand as one
All I want to feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
Just had to call you
Knew you'd be home
Know that it's late
But there's something that you ought to know
You ought to know
Just gotta tell you
Know I been wrong
I guess what I gave you
Didn't last very long
But I hope you can hear me
Going out of my mind
Cause it's four in the morning and I'm
puttin' it all on the line
Give it time, time, time - give it time
Give it time, time, time - give it time
You can try, try, try - you can try
Give it time, time, time - give it time
Just had to call you
There's nowhere to go
Drinkin' all night
Just tryin' to find my way home
And I'm all alone
Just had to tell you
I know I've been wrong
I guess what I gave you
Didn't last very long
But I hope you can hear me
Goin' out of my mind
Cause it's four in the morning and I'm
puttin' it all on the line
Give it time, time, time - give it time
Give it time, time, time - give it time
You can try, try, try - you can try
You got tough love on your side
And your eyes are open wide
A rebel with a cause
Where the sound tracks sirens
And wrapped around the well heart you hold
The mean streets won't catch you cold
Another story in the naked city
You got the cure
Where there's no pity
Well it's a soldier's battle zone
Take aim to prove you're not alone
No prisoners, no fugitives
And you're face to face with victory
Hearts like a world you come to say
The kamikaze pilot crashes
As a phoenix rises from the ashes
CHORUS:
Tough love, you're hard to beat
You're worth the fight
It hits you where it hurts
Oh are you tough enough, tough enough
Tough love, you're hard to beat
You're worth the fight
Soul surrender to your heart
You're tough enough, tough enough
Take it up against the ropes
I've been there where you hold your hopes
Where the fires of passion
burns the waiting heart
We can break the red tape hustle
Now that's my kind of muscle
The stamina to end the runnin'
The armor when the night comes gunnin'
To steal your eyes with blind ambition
Beat you down with competition
You got tough love on your side
When your eyes see red
And on dead-end streets
And hunger feeds the heart that beats
My one-to-one drum
Clears my way
I took a walk today through these grey
and dirty streets
Thinking of you, missing you,
and hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell my legs where to go
They just walked down to the dock
I sat on the edge fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside
CHORUS:
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, oh
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I'd confide
And hearing this
The river cried
I saw myself today through these grey
and dirty streets
Did you have to leave this town
or did you just have to leave me?
All these questions echo in my mind
Why didn't I see the signs?
The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going
Waiting for you to return my sigh.
----------------------------------------
Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
by Patty Smyth
----------------------------------------
Now, I don't want to lose you, but I don't want to use you
just to have somebody by my side.
And I don't want to hate you,
I don't want to take you, but I don't want to be the one to cry.
And that don't really matter to anyone anymore.
But like a fool I keep losing my place
and I keep seeing you walk through that door.
(Chorus)
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.
Now, I could never change you, I don't want to blame you.
Baby, you don't have to take the fall.
Yes, I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you.
Maybe I just want to have it all.
It makes a sound like thunder, it makes me feel like rain.
And like a fool who will never see the truth,
I keep thinking something's gonna change.
(Chorus)
And there's no way home, when it's late at night and you're all alone.
Are there things that you wanted to say?
And do you feel me beside you in your bed,
there beside you, where I used to lay?
And there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just ain't enough.
Baby, sometimes, love... it just ain't enough.
The summer is gone I can't believe
it went so fast
Why do only the cold and lonely times
seem to last.
Now it's late at night
I watch you sleepin
I wanna wake you up
and tell you I'm sorry, though I know
I can't make it up.
I made my mistakes now baby
but I did the best I could.
It takes what it takes and sometimes
it takes longer than it should
to just live the kind of life that we both
have been dreaming of.
There are no mistakes in love.
I walk through a fire in my dreams
just to pull you through.
But when I'm awake somehow it seems
I'm just so hard on you.
Baby a change has got to come
nd I can't see
after another winter's gone,
well, who's gonna rescue me.
There are no mistakes now baby
we did the best we could.
It takes what it takes and sometimes
it takes much more than it should
to just make the choices that we both
have been dreaming of.
There are no mistakes in love.
The nights are much colder now
and I feel the nee to have you near.
Maybe we can start all over.
I feel a change in the air.
There are no mistakes now baby
we do the best we can.
It just takes what it takes and sometimes
it's so hard to understand
and just take the chances that we all
have been dreaming of.
There are no mistakes in love,
there are no mistakes in love,
I met a man who would be king
He had a dream to see forever
It was a promise in the dark
It was a promise we made together
I was a girl who would be queen
I didn't know the cost of freedom
It was a secret he would share
It was a word we both could believe in
Some kind of hero
Catch me again I'm falling
'Cause I can hear you calling
CHORUS:
It's never enough, it's never enough,
it's never enough
It's never enough, it's never enough,
it's never enough
I met a man who had no name
He spoke the language of the spirit
He took a chance for heart & soul
And with a laugh, he dared me to hear it
I met a man who watched the stars
He had the faith behind the reasons
It was a secret he would share
It was a world we all could believe in
Some kind of hero
Catch me again I'm falling
'Cause I can hear you calling
CHORUS
I met a man who would be king
He had a dream to live together
It was a promise in the dark
But he was lost in the storm, forever
Now I'm standing here all alone
Now I know the cost of freedom
It's a secret we all can share
And it's a world we all can believe in
Some kind of hero
Catch me again I'm falling
Now and forever calling
I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The new graffiti says that life's a bitch
And now I hear this bridge is falling down
Someone will steal it 'fore it hits the ground
Now I wanna go out walking in my own neighborhood
Where I was just a little girl and life was good
But the boys are on the corner, gonna fuck with me
I'm gonna keep on walking, they don't see
This is my town
I was born and raised
On these streets
This is my town, oh yeah
Oh yeah, my town
Too many people are on the street tonight
It's way too hot, someone's looking for a fight
What a mess of faces in an endless sea
I'm getting tired of all this energy
And I guess, I could just pick it up and move outside of town
And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down
But then we couldn't hear them playing down at S.O.B.s
Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free
And this is my town
I grew up too fast
On these streets
Hey, this is my town, oh yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
This is my town, oh yeah
And tonight the rain is falling
Falling down
The lights outside keep changing
Without a sound, oh yeah
Now let's just take a train down into Chinatown
Past the house of candles, you know they burned it down
Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade
They'll be dancing in the streets, come to carry me away
And this is my town
I was born and raised
On these streets
This is my town
I'm walking down
These mean streets
It's a big, bad town
This is my town
Hey yeah, yeah, this is my
Oh, my town
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
And a photograph that's torn in half
And all that's left is me
And happily ever after darlin'
Well that came after I was gone
They tell you that, you can't go back
Then why can't I go on
When I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love disguised as hope
Isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is falling, when I should be laughing
Sunsets like a painting
Windows like a frame
The night comes in and I begin
To see it all again
When I should be laughing at this joke
The damage done the words I spoke
Isn't it funny after all this time
Regret can find me when I should be laughing
I should be laughing at life and all of the tricks that it plays
I should be laughing at time and how fast it's slipping away
Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
With one last look I close the book
And let the past just be
Cause I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love disguised as hope
Isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is falling, when I should be laughing
Isn't it funny, I should be laughing
And isn't it funny
I should be laughing
La la la la la la
Just a word to signify
The passing of each day and night
'Cause it's done at the speed of light
The years fly by and out of sight
I tell myself as I go to sleep
We all make promises we can't keep
Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes you'll see
And I don't even know what this is suppose to be
'Cause everyone gets older
I might as well related to
What is done and left to do
Sometimes I just cannot see it through
To find a place or thing to do
When every effort seems incomplete
We all make promises we can't keep
Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes it's true
And I don't even know what I am suppose to do
'Cause everyone gets older
Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes you'll see
And I don't even know what this is suppose to be
'Cause everyone gets older
Wait, must be something I don't see
Maybe something we don't need
Well, there's gotta be it
You know when I find out
I'm gonna piece this together
There's gotta be something to
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Now, I'll do anything to get some sleep
I just don't wanna have to repeat
Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes it's true
And I don't even know what I am suppose to do
'Cause everyone gets older
Everyone gets older
Everyone gets older, yes you'll see
And I don't even know what this is suppose to be
'Cause everyone gets older
Everyone gets older
Cannons roared, in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right
On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat-a-tat
What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head
By the wall in silhouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight
Gather 'round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light
They dispatch their precious cargo
Knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast
When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
because the night
take me now, baby, here as i am
hold me close, try to understand
desire is hunger is the fire i breathe
love is a banquet on which we feed
come on now, try and understand
the way i feel when i'm in your hands
take my hand, come un
der cover
can't hurt you now (3x)
because the night belongs to lovers
because the night belongs to lust
because the night belongs to lovers
because the night belongs to us
have i doubt when i'm all alone
love is a ring on the telephone
love is an angel, disguised as lust
here in our bed til the morning comes
with love we sleep, with doubt the vicious circle
turns, and turns
without you, i cannot live, forgive the yearning
burning
i believe in love
too real to feel, touch me now, touch me n
