CITY STREETS
by Carole King River wind is icy Chills run through my bones Tides of life are ebbing out Between the cobblestones The streets are on fire With the burning sunrise And over the water I look in vain For love in someone's eyes CHORUS: Oh, City streets The stories that they tell Oh, City streets They can be heaven, they can be hell Winter colored morning Gray and dirty brown Reflecting the mood I'm in Despair is all around I long for sweet oblivion To take me from my pain Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith So, I can break this chain CHORUS Lovers with their arms entwined Silhouettes against the light A warm bed is waiting as they head home After staying up all night For them the city is magic That's all they've ever known I wish I could find the magic But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone CHORUS Oh, City streets, the stories thay have known iOh City Streets, City Streets, The City Streets |

So you think you got the weight
Of the world on your shoulders And it's getting too hard to bear You feel like you're getting older and older And nobody seems to care It isn't what you do, it's who you know Ain't that the way it is any more Makes you keep on wondering Don't it make you wonder now What are you living for Well, it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can give it another try It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye We got a sweet life, baby, why don't you take a good look around It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down Y'say you feel snowed under by circumstances You can make of it what you will You can look at the downside or take your chances And try to make it uphill Now you can't keep living inside your head In a prison cell all your own Just let yourself go, get your body out of bed You don't have to do it all alone Well it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can give it another try It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye Y'know this is real life, baby, Why don't you take another look around It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can stop and taste the honey It's a sweet life, baby, it's all about the sugar It ain't about money It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can give it another try It's a sweet life, baby, and I'm not ready to say goodbye It's a sweet life, baby It's a sweet life, baby It's a sweet life, baby |

Everything's lost in illusion
I keep moving, but I can't seem to get out of the shadows Out into the light of day Everyone's out in the afternoon Turning their faces up to the sun like a spotlight What's wrong with me, I don't want to play You're my obsession, I just can't get you out of my mind I look around and I see all the signs They say danger I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Down to the darkness Oh, but I want you to I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Down to the darkness Oh, but you know I want you to Oh, yes I want you to I'm afraid of the dark Oh, but I'm attracted to it I'm afraid of the dark I want to run away, but I can't do it Through my hazy confusion I close my eyes, but your image is indelibly burned there Seared into my memory Now as I stand on the edge of the precipice Looking down into the black abyss I know I'll be lost with just one kiss But I want to be Even as the tongues of fire lick at me from below No turning back, I just can't let go of the danger I know you're gonna take me down I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Oh, but I want you to I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Oh, down to the darkness Oh, but you know I want you to Oh, yes I want you to I want you to take me down to the darkness Down, down, down to the darkness |

I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the longing in your eyes When you look at me I want it to be the way it used to be I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to feel the passion in your touch I want to feel the burning love I need so much When I reach for you I want you to hold me like you used to do I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes You used to walk with me on the street of dreams I remember you telling me You said nothing is what is seems Now as I walk alone, cold in the morning after Thoughts of you in someone else's arms In someone else's bed Explode inside my head I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the fire back in your eyes When you look at me I want it to be the way it used to be I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes |

A candle's burning in my window
And it's burning just for you I had some big plans for tomorrow But you had something else to do You came to me right out of nowhere You gave me shelter in your eyes And though you let the walls come caving in When the cold wind blew I can't stop thinking about you You let me walk into your dream world You gave me things I couldn't steal And in the wee hours of the morning I still believe the dream was real Why did you show me all your colors When you knew that I was blind Still I keep looking for the reasons That'll see me through I can't stop thinking about you I can't stop thinking about you I can't stop thinking about you The night is dark, indeed Ah, but I can't hide There are voices in my house But nobody's inside I'll hit the town tonight But even if I do The party lights won't shine tonight 'Cause I can't stop thinking about you |

You used to be as a child
Full of hope and wonder Hey, now, do you remember those days Your mind was free and running wild Now the sound of thunder Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out You're running in a rat maze You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind It's all getting burnt-out, used-up Bought and sold to the bottom line That ain't the way it's gotta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy Don't it make your heart bleed Passing through the meadowland Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed Rev it up to five grand Shades on, top down But as you barrel down the turnpike You better think about the legacy That you're gonna leave behind Things are getting wasted out of hand People stealing each other blind Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn around, run away But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy It isn't easy when you think your voice Doesn't matter to anyone Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice To perpetuate the destruction Why don't you stand up, dig in When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you It's you It's your legacy Baby, whatcha gonna do about it You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up Sold to the bottom line Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy Oh, your legacy Look here It's gotta start somewhere, Jack If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back Hey, you better get a plan of attack 'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track Of your legacy |

Ain't that the way
Whenever you think you've got it made Everything changes on you Ain't that the way Nothing is stranger than the truth And how it comes to you Ain't that the way In this life we are living Moment to moment, day by day And through all our tribulations We reach out for each other And if we're lucky, someone cares enough to say Ain't that the way Whenever you think you're in control Everything turns around Ain't that the way One day you're flying Next day you're on the ground Ain't that the way So it goes You never know what's gonna happen You never know, but something always does And sometimes in quiet desperation You realize it's never gonna be the way it was Ain't that the way Whenever you think you've got it all There's a wall in front of you Ain't that the way You gotta go through it, it's life And it's all okay Ain't that the way |

The flashing neon excites my blood
Breathing in the carnival air That old street of dreams has got my head spinning Being there at the pleasure fair I'm no stranger to danger He's been my lifelong friend I can feel the pulse of the city Who knows how it will end Midnight flyer, higher and higher And the sun won't rise till five And I don't care if I'm spending my money At least I feel alive Midnight flyer Suburban village has gone to sleep But I'm just waking up The night holds a promise I intend to keep To fill my loving cup I know it's a long shot But tonight I'm gonna take a chance I can feel the rhythm of the city It's my turn to dance Midnight flyer, higher and higher And the sun won't rise till five I don't care if I'm spending my money At least I feel alive Midnight flyer, I'm on fire Nothin's gonna stand in my way I'm gonna keep on moving to the beat of the city Until the break of day Midnight flyer, I'm on fire Midnight flyer, I'm on fire Nothin's gonna stand in my way Midnight flyer |

The lantern moon hung high and gold
In the cold November sky The locust sang a midnight song And starlight wind was a sigh And you moved me with no hand Like the moon moves the sea What I wouldn't give for the love that used to be The icy roofs below me now Shelter all the souls within But oh, nothing shelters me From the thought of what could have been Why does laughter remembered Always lead me to tears I've got the life I want, but I don't have what I need Homeless heart Why do you do this to yourself Homeless heart You ought to leave the dust on the shelf Homeless heart There must be someone else in the dark With a homeless, homeless, homeless heart I ache in a place so deep I can't hide, even in my sleep Slow torture If you walked in on me right now I'd love you so hard You'd wonder how You let me go Why did you let me go The telephone, just sitting there Brings your number to my mind Another piece of yesterday That I should be leaving behind Will I make it to the morning Without hearing your voice Or will I surrender to my Homeless heart Why do you do this to yourself Homeless heart You ought to leave the dust on the shelf Homeless heart There must be someone else in the dark With a homeless, homeless, homeless heart |

SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King When there's a dark storm your horizon And you think you can't get through it Just put your hand in my hand And I'll show you how to do it When your future looks uncertain You can count on me to be there And when your heart and soul are hurting Just look and you'll see me there Just follow ehre I lead I'll give you what you need A love that's always true Is some who believes in you It's time to come alive your moment has arrived I'll bring out the best in you We can have it all No, we will never fall Looking down from our celestial view So when you're searching for that rainbow I will help you find it And when a mountain stands before you I will help you climb it Just follow where I lead I'll give you what you need And I'll tell you something else You'll start believing in yourself It's an easy thing to do When you've got someone who believes in you Someone who believes Someone who believes I'm someone who believes You've got someone who believes in you |
