When the angostura runs a little low
And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow
And time is rushing by, but it seems slow
Just live dangerously once before you go
If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake
He'll assume the reputation of a fake
Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong
And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake
But who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shale with a snake?
I think I ought to go to bed
It's getting dark inside my head
I've been working now, all night long,
Trying to find that impossible song.
I think I ought to go to bed, and call it a day.
I've got my poet's license
So, I'm sending you this poesy;
But, don't expect no string quartet,
Or anything so cosy,
I'm so tired
Think I ought to go to bed;
I'm so tired
I'm losing contact with my head;
I'm so tired
I've been working now, all night long,
Trying to chase that impossible song
I think I ought to go to bed, and call it a day.
I've got my poet's license
So, I'm sending you this poesy;
But, don't expect no string quartet,
Or anything so cosy,
I'm so tired
Think I ought to go to bed;
I'm so tired
I'm losing contact with my head;
I'm so tired
I've been up here all night long,
Trying to find that impossible song
See how she smiles
Like an affectionate child
Do not disturb do not do anything wild
Sweetly she dreams of love as a rainbowed
High on my
I won't disturb her while dreaming I'll only try
Hour by hour and minute by minute alone
The queen of our dreams is feted and waited upon
5he's the blonde and blue eyed happiness all
Come true
So sing out your song brother
You are the most extraordinary person
You write the most peculiar kind of tunes
I met you floating as I was boating
One Afternoon
Wasn't it the most amazing meeting
surrounded by those monsters from the deep
You started telling me a funny story, and I fell asleep
Oh Wot a dream that was
It begins with a blessing
And it ends with a curse;
Making life easy,
By making it worse;
My mask is my master,
The trumpeter weeps,
But his voice is so weak
As he speaks from his sleep, saying
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping!
People are watching,
People who stare;
Waiting for something
That's already there.
Tomorrow I'll find it ,
The trumpeter screams,
And remembers he's hungry
And drowns in his dreams, saying
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping!
My head is a nightclub
With glasses and wine;
The customers dancing
Or just making time;
While daevid is cursing
The customers scream!
Now everyone's shouting,
Well, I met a traveller
Never did learn his name;
His eyes were bright coloured.
But not both the same.
He shook my hand warmly
I could tell he was strong
And he answered my questions
By singing this song
One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere;
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care.
Well, it rained all that night
And in the morning, rain still
And I saw the traveller
At the top of the hill
He was laughing at the thunder
And banging a gong
And, at the top of his voice
He shouted his song.
One find it, etc.
When the storm had died down
He came to my door
And he looked really happy
As he dripped on the floor
He said, "please excuse me
But I won't stay long;
Just give me what you don't want
And then I'll move on, singing
One find it, etc.
Said he had to keep going
But he didn't say where
When I offered him money
He refused with a glare.
Then he roared out with laughter
As ht picked up his gong
And he left without looking back
Singing his song:
Sometimes I get too drunk
I feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
I think about your loving arms, where I'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and I know it
And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you too
'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
I won't say that I love you
'Cause that would be a lie
I can only say I try, and you know it
Love is something more or less than words can hope to say
It's something day to day in the life we're living
Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
Yes I can count all mine on one finger
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
Listen to them shout
The distance that's between us
It just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range
Of misunderstanding
So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
So maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
J'etais perdu dans la rue
fatigue et mal au cul
J'ai vu un petit cafe
avec une fille dedans
et je lui disais
'Puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
pour te regarder?
J'aimerais la compagnie de ton soleil.
Je ne veux pas plus que ca
Non, ca n'est pas une grande histoire
Encore un beau sourire
et apres ca je peux partir
'Puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
pour te regarder?
J'aimerais bien la compagnie de ton soleil.
Oh my - I
really try
but I just don't get any-
-where.
You might say it only
seems that way. And
I could find something
everywhere. And
maybe I agree with
you. But I'd
just like to say this
too. Its
All very fine, if you're
really divine. And
everybody wants you
bad. You can
take what you please with the
greatest of ease. And
nobody will let you be
sa-a-ad. But
Oh my, the
days go by. I
make no connection at
all. I
drink this wine in the
bright sunshine. A-
waiting for a star to
fa-a-all. I
must be like a million
souls, who
got nobody at
all. To
warm their hearts, and
give them a start,
spinning in the bright blue
sky. On the
wings of love that could
take them above, to
places where the penguins
fly-y-y. But
Oh my. Do
I get high
Lady, when I'm next to
you. You're so
crazy and wild, such a
happy child. You
make a lot of loving
too-oo-oo
Once upon an ocean
We dream a ship to sail
When it start leaking
We had to learn to bail
All that mattered it was
Keeping the ship afloat
But we couldn't work together
We become a drunken boat
Captain shouted out
Nobody hear him speak, oh no
Everyone went rushing round going crazy
Trying to find that leak
Waves getting heavier
We don't stand much chance
Then we heard that old familiar music
And we just had to dance
Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn
No, no, no, no
Our ship is sinking but we don't give a damn
Guess you know by now or at least you should
There is no volunteer for the common good
Still waiting for the saviour to appear
But he's s not here
And no one's coming down to save your soul
You're the only ones who can assume that role
But your minds are empty and you've lost control
To the ones who sell you dreams
To fill that hole
Some of us I know seem to have much more
Born with a key to every door
Distribution of fortune seems unfair
Same everywhere
And those who have they just want more
Using other peoples weakness to increase their score
Do you really know who you're working for
It's not for one another and that s for sure
Guess you know by now or ac least you should
There is no volunteer for the common good
Still waiting for that saviour to appear
But he's still not here
And no one's s coming down to save your soul
You're the only ones who can assume that role
But your minds are empty
And you've lost control
To the ones who sell you dreams
I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat
I find a small cafe
I see a girl and then I say
'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
You don't have to say a thing
You're the song without the sing
The sunlight in your hair
You look so good just sitting there
'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'
Margaret
You're such a magical child
I found that
The first time you smiled
And the more i get to know you
The more I am amazed
To find in someone
Such tender loving ways
And just like everybody sings
When the sunshine makes them high
I sing this gentle love song
From a flower to a butterfly
From a flower
Why do we waste our lives
Why do we stay asleep
So many confused words
So many total disasters there are
We all try to change the world
But change has to come from ourselves
So much ignored advice
So many drowned and wasting away
Everybody wants to be free
But before this can be
You've got to learn, learn how to see
Just from what it is that you want to be free
Why do we waste our lives
Wy do we stay asleep
So many confused words
Spent an awful lot of time making tunes and making rhymes
Things that other people do, yeah
From this heap of words and rhyme
I never really gave much time to something just for you, yeah
Oh gemini child you know I love you
I don't really have to tell you
Cause you know damn well that I do
Anyway it's not so much what I say as
What I do for you girl
So here's a song that I thought of long ago
That really comes from you, yeah
Gemini child, you make life come alive
Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you
And I do gemini child, you make life come alive
Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you
And I do oh gemini child you know I love you
I don't really have to tell you
Does the world seem good to you?
Does the music get to you?
Does the wisdom of your heart
Show you how to play your part?
All my blond and twilight dreams;
All those strangled future schemes;
All those glasses drained of wines,
All this crazy gift of time.
You, dear sister, kiss of mine
Can you cope with all this time,
With your mystic all awry
Feeling small beneath the sky.
All my blond, etc.
Happy birthday to you all
I hope you really have ball.
And when you're walking up the road,
I hope you finally explode!
Goodbye, everybody
Now it's time to go.
I guess I'm feeling old today
I can't get in the mood to play
Oh no feeling low
And things have got to change, oh yeah
'Cause there's no point and there's no use
In that tired old excuse of blaming it all on love
Can't rely on anyone
To show me how to have my fun
But me and now I see clearer than before
And more that it's a fool who lives too small
Beats his head against the wall
Yeah, blaming it all on love
Looking at the world outside
I sometimes have to run and hide away
When I should stay and join in with the dance, oh yeah
'Cause it's a crime and a disgrace
When I think of the time I waste
Blaming it all on love, sweet love
Blaming it all on love, sweet love
I don't understand anymore
As I grow older
Nothing seems to be clearer
Than before, um hum
Old shoulders
Become cold shoulders
Nothing left to dream on
We're all kept in fear
We're afraid to take
Too many chances
We must keep in step
But there are just too many
Different dances
And those old shoulders
Become cold shoulders
Have you seen miss clarietta
Riding round on her lambretta
On the mountainside
Looking out for friendly faces
Peering out of mountain places
Waiting for a ride
She's the queen of mountain magic, everybody knows
And late at night she sings with gentleness
Becoming to a rose
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
Vou cannot lose today
If you meet her in the moonlight
Don't be shy and don't be uptight
She might disappear
If she thinks you want to get her
Stop her, riding her lambretta
She won't let you near
She s the queen of mountain flowers
You can love them too
But if you pick her lovely flowers
How can they grow for you
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
You cannot lose today
Two, three, four,
Sitting on the beach like clarence in wonderland
I had a dream and I know you will understand
Riding up the beach, it only took a moment
Along came a lady looking for amusement
She came up to me and everything was smiling
And then she said something, it sounded like a violin
Let's go to my chateau, we could have a good time
Drinking lots of sky wine
Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon
We're gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon
There's no doubt about it
Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon
We're gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon
Miss juliet kate, queen of the moon in june and this tune
Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching.
Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to.
Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes
Selling second-hand tobaccos
Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected
But baby's on fire!
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperatures rising
Couldn't get to sleep last night
Missing you so much, it hurts
Missing your company
All the things you mean to me, girl
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home to me
Don't have very much to say
Never was so good with words
It's only that I'm missing you
Wishing I was kissing you now
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home to me
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home to me
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, won't you please come home
Animals went in two by two
Just 'cause someone told them to.
Now they're living in a zoo
Baby, ain't that just like me and you?
Ain't you just like the animals
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
People you ain't got no choice
No one listens to your voice
Ask no questions, get no harm
You know you shouldn't be happy on the farm;
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Animals waiting two by two
Just 'cause someone told them to.
Now they're living in a zoo
Baby, ain't that just like me and you?
Ain't you just like the animals
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
Everything you do, is true
As long as you believe it;
And everything you say, is play,
And that's how you should treat it.
And everyone is high,
Until there's something makes them low;
That's when you should stay
That's not the time to go....
That's when you should stay,
Does the world seem good to you?
Does the music get to you?
Does the wisdom of your heart
Show you how to play your part?
All my blond and twilight dreams;
All those strangled future schemes;
All those glasses drained of wines,
All this crazy gift of time.
You, dear sister, kiss of mine
Can you cope with all this time,
With your mystic all awry
Feeling small beneath the sky.
All my blond, etc.
Happy birthday to you all
I hope you really have ball.
And when you're walking up the road,
I hope you finally explode!
Goodbye, everybody
Now it's time to go.
Watch her out there on display
Dancing in her sleepy way
While all her visions start to play
On the icicles of our decay.
Fading flowers in her hair
She's suffering from wear and tear
She lies in waterfalls of dreams
And never questions what it means.
And all along the desert shore
She wanders further evermore
The only thing that's left to try¡
She says to live I have to die.
She whispers sadly well I might
And holds herself so very tight
Then jumping from an unknown height
She merges with the liquid night.
Lovers wrap her mist in furs
And tell her what she has is hers
But when they take her by the hand
She slips back in the desert sand.
But what she leaves is made of glass
And lovers worship as they pass
Each one says - now she is mine
But all drink solitary wine.
There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands
And bloodstained pianos
Are played without hands
Such a promising music
Sweet whispers and dreams
From a travelling window,
The salesman who screamed.
Moonlight, saturday night
It's now or never
Oh play stormy weather,
For me, for me.
I lived in the flower shop
Called "love is so sweet!"
And I get all my kicks
From the customers' feet.
Well, I'm just a stranger,
None stranger than i.
My head in the quicksand
My feet in the sky.
I was carefully crazy
When playing the game.
'cause business is business
And I'm not to blame.
Climb on my back
It's a wet afternoon ;
A bottle of booze,
A bit of a tune to sing;
Goodbye, everything;
Falling in love again, I never wanted to
But what am I to do, I can't help it
Love's always been my game, play it how I may
I was made that way, I can't help it
Girls flutter to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I am not to blame
Falling in love again, I never wanted to
Well day by day
And night by night
Wanna learn how to love you babe
Till I get it right
Yeah day by day and night by night
Come on and join the dance
I t goes round and round
Until the things you've lost
Become the things you've found
Day by day and night by night
Now piece by piece
And bit by bit
I can see the target
I've got to try to hit
Piece by piece and bit by bit.
I tell you sweet singing sister
Gonna love you till I'm blistered and blue
Cos you're making what I'm shaking
Harder than the big bamboo
But although I'm digging singing babe
I really have to sing it with you
Sing it day by day
Tonight I'm full of doubts and fears
Looks like another night of tears
You're not here so I can't turn to you
Now I know what needing
Someone really means
Yes I do and I need you
It's so hard when you're not here
I believe but I still fear
It's so hard not knowing where you are
Now I know what missing
Someone really means
Yes I do and I miss you
Still don't know just where you are
Distances are all too far
Are you well or are you crying too?
Now I know what loving
Someone really means
White is the colour of night
When there's nobody there,
And you sit in your chair,
Getting drunk on despair.
Red is the colour it's said
That can drive you insane
With pleasure or pain...
It depends on your head.
Brown is the colour of skin
That I'd like to be in,
'cause it doesn't feel right
To be coloured so white.
Blue is the colour of sky
And I won't even try
To explain how or why,
I'll just show you the sky
Farewell again please come back someday
It¡¯s getting harder every time I have to say
goodbye
Oh fare you well
So many feelings I know we share
Like being here and wanting to be there
And when you're asked where that is you
Say you don't know
It s just somewhere else and you have to go
So you go
You always go, where do you go
So many choices you have to run
Because when life is made too easy
It s much harder to simply have fun
Now you¡¯re always on the run
You panic when someone tries to unfold you
Scream for the dream that seems to hold you
You want to give love but only on condition
That it¡¯s on your terms and that position is lonely
This I know
Don't get me wrong
I'm not pushing you down
Or trying to change your mind
Your problems are my problems too
And I'm talking just as much to myself
As I am to you
Farewell again please come back someday
It¡¯s getting harder every time
I have to say goodbye
Fare You Well
Fare You Well
Fare You Well
This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here
I've got to try and tell;
It's dark and light at the very same time,
The water sometimes seems like wine.
I learned some information way down here
That might fill your heart and soul with fear;
But don't you worry, no don't be afraid ...
I'm not in the magical mystery trade.
My imagination begins to purr
As things don't happen, they just occur.
Softly crackling electrical smell,
There's something burning at the bottom of this well.
Sitting here alone I just have to laugh
I see all the universe as a comfortable bath;
I drown my body so my mind is free
To indulge in pleasurable fantasies.
There's something strange going on down here ..
A sickening implosion of mistrust and fear.
A vast corruption that's about to boil
A mixture of greed and the smell of oil.
This is a song from the bottom of a well
I didn't move here, I just fell.
But I'm not complaining, I don't even care
She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
She places the light on a chair by the window
Says a prayer while the wind blows
And then in her bed clothes she hides
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from it's clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
Who will you dream of tonight?
She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
Then she unwraps the parcel
And discovers a castle inside
The draw bridge is open
And a voice from the water
Says ¡°welcome my daughter'
"we've all been expecting you to come"
She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
Now she's safe from the darkness
She's safe from it's clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
Who will you dream of tonight lady rachel?
It¡¯s late in the evening
And the weather is cold
I'm beginning to miss you
But that story¡¯s so old
I know I've been knocking
My head on the wall
And I must have been crazy
To leave
Oh yeah, yeah
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Sometimes I'm burning
With a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
And all those musical ladies
And the crazed young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? 0h no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Everything you do is true as long as you believe it
And everything you say is play and that's how you should treat it
And everyone is high until there's something makes them low
That's when you should stay, that's not the time to go
No, no, no, no, no, no
That's when you should stay and let your love just flow
Lady lady won't you come here quick
This whisky and wine is making me sick
I want you now and I don't t care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Ask me a question and I'll tell you a lie
Ask me another, I'll spit in your eye
Don't like to leave you but I know I can't stay
So just keep lovin' in your butterfly way
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Too much and too many things on my mind
Can't make a story of things I can't find
Rock and roll music playin' in my head
Gonna keep on dancin' till I drop down dead
It could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Lady lady won't you come here quick
Cause these evil drugs are makin' me sick
I want you now and I don't care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical margaret
You know you're so high above
You fill my head with music
My heart with love
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical margaret....
Living in the city seems
To fill me with trepidation
Fills me with trepidation inside
Too much big business
And too little celebration
Too little celebration indeed
So let?s raise our voices
And sing for our lives
Sing for our life
Let?s raise our voices
Drink for our lives
Drink for your life my friends
My friends, my friends, my friends
Too many reassuring lies
To lullaby the population
Lullaby the population to sleep
Too much big business
Too little celebration
After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking out nowhere special to go
I heard someone singing in a voice so sad
This is what I heard her singing
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes"
I walked up to her, took her by the hand
I said, "Sad lady, yes I understand
And I will stay with you if you want me to
And we can sing this song together"
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes"
After the music of the rock and roll show
I started walking home somewhere special to go
Our love grows stronger as time goes by
But we can still remember singing
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
And hold you tight till morning comes"
"Who's going to take me home after the show?
I'm feeling really lonely and I've nowhere to go
Oh take me to your party and I'll dance all night
Woke up this morning, I went out on the street
Sniffed a few flowers then I went back to sleep
My head was cloudy but the sky was blue
And I didn't feel lonely till I thought of you
Later that evening I knocked on your door
Asked how you're feeling, you said you weren't sure
Took off your costume and you lay on the bed
And I came down beside you with the moon in my head
I whispered nothing sweetly in your ear
I played the music that you like to hear
I held you tightly but you slipped right through
And I was left holding someone but I didn?t know who
Maybe I'm crazy and I'm lost in a dream
Brothers and sisters you know what I mean
You leave things open and get lost in the space
A rum-lime honey sing a magical tune
Found her underneath the Caribbean Moon
Wind is blowin' in the coconut tree
Blowin' the moonlight over you and me
Hey Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon shine all night
Calypso singer singin' in the sun
Sing about the rivers of Babylon
Rasta music, Caribbean Sea
Come on everybody sing the tune with me
Hey Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon yellow, yellow
Caribbean moon shine all night
When I sing this song it makes me feel so glad
It was very musical, the love we had
Oh Martha, Martha let me sing to you
Take your partners for the dance
Quick before you miss the chance
Make your loving while you can
Or she'll find another man who will
Losing someone makes you sad
Makes you feel that life is bad
So sad, drives you mad
Once upon a time there was
So there is still
Loving of a kind
That rang here
Until doors began to close
And love was left screaming
When life was diagnosed
By the doctors of dreaming
La la la etc
(voice) 'and now , ladies and gentlemen,
There's just time to grab the nearest
I take life
My knife
Cuts deep
Brings sleep
Watch out for doctor dream
I'll fill your skies with promise that you'll fly
And then I'll wake you up again
But soon I will return to feed on you
Watch out for doctor dream
Singing a song in the morning
Singing it again at night
1 don't even know what 1'm singin' about
But it makes me feel I feel alright
Yeah yeah
It's late in the evening
And the weather is cold
I'm beginning to miss you
But that story's so old
I know I've been knocking
My head on the wall
And I must have been crazy
To leave
Oh yeah, yeah
Strange kind of blues coloured moon
Shines in the middle of my room.
Sometimes I'm burning
With a vision so bright
That it brings on the sunshine
In the middle of the night
And all those musical ladies
And the crazed young men
They are trying to make music
Together again? 0h no no
And a strange kind of blues coloured moon
My oh my oh my
Do you really have to cry?
Crying like a summer rain
Lady let me ease your pain.
Why oh why oh why
Don't you spread your winds and fly?
Flying like an autumn wind
Lady did you lose a friend?
Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Maybe what you've lost you've found.
Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Hey babe, you?re making my wheels start turning
Loving but I'm still learning to
Hey babe, nothing to say but words
And I could just play with words all day
Never knew how to write a love song
Always seemed to get the words wrong
Always trying to say what can't be said
Hey babe, you're making my wheels start turning
Loving but I'm still learning to
Never knew how to write a love song
Always seemed to get the words wrong
Always trying to say what can?t be said
Hey babe, I've nothing to say but words
You shine a light in my darkness
I guess you showed me the way
A chance for love to fly again
A chance for come what may
You brought along the colors
When life was turning, turning gray
You opened up your paint box
And painted the blues away
But you're far away, I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
Feel this way, I?ve got to be with you
But you're far away, I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
Feel this way, got to be with you
You to me are special
Can't find the words to say
Only that I miss you
Miss you in every way
But you're far away, I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
Feel this way, I've got to be with you
But you're far away and I can't touch you
You're far away and it's too much to
A lot of things can happen
When you're walking down the street
But it never fails to amaze me
When people that I meet
Say, well I'll see you later..
I just answer how?
How will you see me later
When you can't see me now?
Today, the town seems like a tomb;
Everybody's locked up in his room;
Making love, or taking love--who cares?
If you take a walk out in the street,
Chances are there's someone that you'll meet.
If it's someone you know
You'll say hello, and good-bye.
Today's the very first day of the spring;
A little girl's playing on her swing.
She doesn't know that a brand new show begins.
Now you come and tell me that you're sad;
But you never talk. about it when you're glad;
You criticise, and you shut your eyes...
Another night and I can't sleep
I need to cry but I can't weep
Feeling that I've lost control
Where's my spirit, where's my very soul?
What's the future? There's no cheer
Feeling too much doubt and fear
I hide and run, I run and hide
I just can't face the world outside my dreaming
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Love is what pulls us through
It's so good when you're by my side
No longer need to run and hide
And when I'm dancing, singing along
Nothing seems to be so right or wrong
Don't you worry, don't you sigh
It's not on you that I rely
You sing love, I sing along
Celebration in this song for you
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Love is what pulls us through
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
