Day is dawning and I must go
You're asleep but still I'm sure you'll know Why it had to end this way You and I had a groovy time But I told you somewhere down the line You would have to find me gone I just have to move along Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations When you wake I know you'll cry And the words I wrote to say goodbye They won't comfort you at all But in time you will understand That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand For a no-good bum like me To live is to be free Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Look in my restless soul, a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations <i>[repeat and fade]</i> |

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty there was nothing left to live for but then it happened one night as I got into a fight I could hear someone saying as though he was praying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" I was a woman never thinking of others and my life was so lonely didn't care for anybody but then I happened to meet a begging man in the street as I turned down his praying I heard someone saying: "ah - Treat him well, he is your brother you might need his help one day we depend on one another love him that's the only way on the road that we're going we all need words of comfort and compassion treat him well, he is your brother love him that's the only way" |

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour I am alone Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind Like the embers as they die Love was one prolonged good-bye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room |

Yes I'm down and feeling blue And I don't know what to do, oh-oh Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? You were here and now you're gone Hey did I do something wrong? I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken Was it me or was it you? Tell me, are we really through?

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight, Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar They were closer now, Fernando Every hour, every minute, seemed to last eternally I was so afraid, Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Now we're old and grey, Fernando And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums, Fernando? Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande? I can see it in your eyes How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Yes, if I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando... |

And I realise It's a crazy world As he disappeared in his car I was stunned and I didn't know what to do Everything I had ever been Everything in my life's a part of you And I just couldn't move my feet So I stood on the pavement as you came out You acted as you didn't know What it was all about And I close my eyes Will you leave me, girl? And I realise It's a crazy world Baby how could you do it You just told me lies Had you been behind my back with other guys? Baby how could you tell me There was only me I was stupid to believe you I was blind but now I see Then you smiled and you took my hand "There is something," you said "that you may not know. There's a couple of men in my life, And one of them is my brother Joe. He's been gone for a long long time But he's back and I think he's gonna stay.

In a short time Only a week since we started It seems to be For every time I'm getting more open-hearted I was an impossible case No one ever could reach me But I think I can see in your face There's a lot you can teach me So I wanna know What's the name of the game Does it mean anything to you What's the name of the game Can you feel it the way I do Tell me please Cause I have to know I'm a bashful child Beginning to grow And you make me talk And you make me feel And you make me show What I'm trying to conceal If I trust in you Would you let me down Would you laugh at me If I said I cared for you Could you feel the same way too I wanna know The name of the game (Your smile and the sound of your voice) Does it mean anything to you (Doesn't mean any pivotal choice But it means a lot) What's the name of the game (Your smile and the sound of your voice) Can you feel it the way I do Tell me please Cause I have to know I'm a bashful child Beginning to grow And you make me talk And you make me feel And you make me show What I'm trying to conceal If I trust in you Would you let me down Would you laugh at me If I said I cared for you Would you feel the same way too I wanna know Oh yes I wanna know The name of the game (I was an impossible case) Does it mean anything to you (But I think I can see in your face That it means a lot) What's the name of the game (Your smile and the sound of your voice) Can you feel it the way I do (Doesn't mean any pivotal choice But it means a lot) What's the name of the game (I was an impossible case) Does it mean anything to you (But I think I can see in your face That it means a lot) What's the name of the game (Your smile and the sound of your voice)... |

This park and these houses, old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here One day when I am returning? My friends will get married, have children and homes It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise Never expecting surprises I wonder, it′s frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I don′t leave it I′m not a coward Oh no, I′ll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it, it can′t go wrong My friends and my family, this dull little town Buses I′ve missed, boys that I′ve kissed Everything old and familiar I wonder, it′s frightening Leaving now, is that the right thing? I wonder, it scares me But who the the hell am I if I don′t leave it I′m not a coward Oh no, I′ll be strong One chance in a lifetime Yes I will take it... Yes I will take it, it can′t go wrong |

They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please |

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk Mmm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance! Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me |

Summer night city...
Summer night city... Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city In the sun I feel like sleeping I can't take it for too long My impatience slowly creeping Up my spine and growing strong I know what's waiting there for me Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo Lots to take and lots to give Time to breathe and time to live Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city It's elusive call it glitter Somehow something turns me on Some folks only see the litter We don't miss them when they're gone I love the feeling in the air My kind of people everywhere When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo And tomorrow, when it's dawning And the first birds start to sing In the pale light of the morning Nothing's worth remembering It's a dream, it's out of reach Scattered driftwood on the beach Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the dark Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in the park Summer night city (repeat 2x and fade) |

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita |

I've always hated my room, its so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard So I can't understand how its happened, how everything's changing This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there The lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight How I remember the first time we went to the movies We had decided to meet on the corner downtown And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter When you came into my life it all got so much brighter You must have a lovelight Everything around you is lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there The lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight And I feel so good And I feel so right And I know that you must have a lovelight You've got lovelight And I can feel your love everywhere Maybe even when you're not there You've got lovelight Everything around you is lovelight You're shining like a star in the night I won't let you out of my sight I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose your lovelight Everything about you is right Let it glow and let it be bright I don't want to lose your lovelight Shining like a star in the night |

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha,
keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave made me shiver 'Cause he always used to look at me that way And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder does it have to be the same Every time when I see him, will it bring back the pain? Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name? Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into his angeleyes Crazy 'bout his angeleyes Angeleyes Once he took my heart and now I pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking, I had to pay the price (repeat & fade) |

Half past twelve
And I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the phone There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win It’s so different from the world I’m living in Tired of t.v. I open the window and I gaze into the night But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... There’s not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day |

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail I believe in angels, something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream I have a dream, a fantasy To help me through, reality And my destination, makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness, still another mile I believe in angels, something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream I'll cross the stream I have a dream I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail I believe in angels, something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream I'll cross the stream I have a dream |

I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you Does it feel the same When she calls your name Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all (So the winner takes it all) (And the loser has to fall) (Throw a dice, cold as ice) (Way down here, someone dear) (Takes it all, has to fall) (And it's plain, I complain) <i>(fade)</i> |

I was at a party and this fella said to me
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree People care for nothing, no respect for human rights Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights" I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?" He got kinda wary as he looked around the room He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state" I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?" He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone Over in the corner I could see this other guy He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we? What's our situation, do we have some time for us?" I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?" I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone" On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone On and on and on Keep on rocking baby 'Til the night is gone On and on and on 'Til the night is gone [Extra Video Verse] Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall I say if you ever want to know what's going on Gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone [repeat chorus and fade] |

The summer air was soft and warm The feeling right, the Paris night Did it's best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants our last winter Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank The family man, the football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of my dreams I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all our last winter In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants our last winter We were living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play <i>(fade)</i> |

The sound so ominously tearing through the silence I cannot move, I'm standing Numb and frozen Among the things I love so dearly The books, the paintings and the furniture Help me The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the door-knob None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient And they don't dare to come here Anymore now But how I loved our secret meetings We talked and talked in quiet voices Smiling Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces And now they've come to take me Come to break me And yet it isn't unexpected I have been waiting for these visitors Help me Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) Now I hear them moving Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) Voices growing louder, irritation building And I'm close to fainting Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) They must know by now I'm in here trembling In a terror evergrowing Crackin' up (I have been waiting for these visitors) My whole world is falling, going crazy There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up |

They passed me by,
all of those great romances. You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances. My picture clear. Everything seemed so easy. And so I dealt you the blow One of us had to go. Now it's different, I want you to know. One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely. One of us is only Waiting for a call. Sorry for herself. Feeling stupid, feeling small. Wishing she had never left at all. I saw myself as a concealed attraction. I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action. Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving. That's how I started the show. One of us had to go. Now I'm changed and I want you to know One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely. One of us is only Waiting for a call. Sorry for herself. Feeling stupid, feeling small. Wishing she had never left at all. Never left at all. Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead. One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself Feeling stupid, feeling small Wishing she had never left at all |

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head Tells me I must take him seriously Droning on the usual way He's such a clever guy And I wonder should I laugh or cry He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought Trousers too short Gives (gives) me (me) all his small philosophy Carries on the way he does And me I get so tired And I wonder should I laugh or cry High and mighty his banner flies A fool's pride in his eyes Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is) All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown Cold as a stone No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry And I wonder should I laugh or cry High and mighty his banner flies A fool's pride in his eyes Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is) All I see is a big balloon Halfway up to the moon He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon Of an eternal lie So should I laugh or cry |

I have a very good friend The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend She has a personal style Some people like it, others tend to go wild You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean Her man is one I admire He's so courageous but he's constantly tired Each time when he speaks his mind She pats his head and says, that's all very fine Exert that will of your own When you're alone Now we'd better hurry And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean You hear her voice everywhere Taking the chair She's a leading lady And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going Head over heels Breaking her way Pushing through unknown jungles every day She's a girl with a taste for the world (the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing) Head over heels Setting the pace Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace She's extreme, if you know what I mean (she's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please) And she goes Head over heels |

Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill Birds of passage, you and me We fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex We're still striving for the sky No taste for humble pie Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more Clear-headed and open-eyed With nothing left untried Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry any more when all is said and done |

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour I am alone Sitting near the fireplace Dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined Playing games within my mind Like the embers as they die Love was one prolonged goodbye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room |

I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came |

Down in the street and I could fly
Tell you what I'd do I'd fly in loops and curlicues And end up at the zoo I'd lift the top right off the cage And set the birds all free And as they fluttered to the sky I'd sing "I'm sorry, Cassandra" I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go Just spread your wings out wide Catch the breeze and glide Relax enjoy the ride High above the world below Down in the street and I could fly I never would be late I'd sail right over traffic jams And through the school yard gate The teacher she would probably faint I'd casually fold my wings Then skip to class and take my seat Just as the school bell rings I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go Just spread your wings out wide Catch the breeze and glide Relax enjoy the ride High above the world below The oceans look like puddles, The cars like tiny toys The clouds are mounds of whipped cream For all the girls and boys I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go Just spread your wings out wide Catch the breeze and glide Relax enjoy the ride High above the world below I'm sorry, Cassandra, off we go |

(Im kinda flattered I suppose) Guess Im kind of flattered but Im scared as hell Staring down the deepest well I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where Id be if I fell Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody please have a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure, I wont know how Under attack, Im being taken About to crack, defences breaking Wont somebody see and save a heart Come and rescue me now cause Im falling apart Under attack, Im taking cover He saw my track, my chasing lover Thinking nothings gonna stop him now Should I want to, Im not sure, I wont know how |

Put on your white sombrero
Saddle your horse my dear And ride off into the sunset You'd better go For there is no place for you here Like and old fashioned hero You stand before me You think our life is a movie My world is real I live and feel and I can do without you Put on your white sombrero Your red bandana too Think of this day as a showdown Goodbye my friend This is the end for me and you Now be a bold vacquero Don't show your feelings I'll cry while you're disappearing Into the night All dressed in white unchained and free without me Put on your white sombrero Like all the cowboys do Go find a sweet senorita Somebody meek Who'll never speak harshly to you You're such a cavaliero Proud, never bending I want someone who will take me Just as I am I need a man who is in rhyme With his time You'll never take me Just as I am I need a man who is in rhyme With his time |

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk Mmm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance! Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me |

Sun, I can't slow you down Run, build on sacred ground All of the leavesd have blown away Ghosts on a distant highway In a merry-go-round Sleep, if your eyes must close Weep, over a poisoned rose Soon all the tears will blow away Dust on a distant highway In the merry-go-round Fly, closer to the sun Fight, 'till your world is one Soon all the stars will burn away Ghosts on a different highway In the merry-go-round Oh, shall we sleep tonight Take all your dreams and drive away Smoke on a distant highway From the merry-go-round All my people Respect your Mother Earth Thank you for this life and this breath And all my people's strength |

I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, How I wish this road would take me home where I belong, Cause I have found no other place where I would stay, I'm tired and all my dreams have failed along the way. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now, I guess I've changed, like people do when things go wrong, But in the end, somehow I know we'll get along. Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay... I'm on my way... Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa, How I wish to see the old house where I used to live, And all my friends, will they be there, when I come home, How I regret the day when I set out to roam, Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay... I'm on my way... Santa Rosa I'll be back to stay. I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa |

Take the river to the highest mountain Take the ocean to the farthest sea I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you If you'd come back to me I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree I'd take back everything I said to scare you Away from me Two hands can feel so much more That's what I'm loving you for I was too blind to see fear was inside of me I'm not afraid anymore She's my kind of girl, she's my kind of girl To forgive and forget Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over I'll never hold you again If a broken wing can still be mended Then a foolish heart can still be true Take the river to the highest mountain That's where I'll wait for you Two hearts can feel so much more That's what I'm loving you for The man that you tried to free Is still locked inside of me And your heart must open the door She's my kind of girl, she's my kind of girl To forgive and forget Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over I'll never hold you again (repeat and fade) |

Now there's a shadow falling over our faces
Doubt forever in our hearts And in a while we'll stop to pick up the traces We won't find the missing parts Buy me a ticket I'll go to the Bahamas I need a rest from our petty little dramas Yes I really do Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one I wasn't ready for this kind of intrusion I was taken by surprise Now both of us are in a state of confusion Hesitation in our eyes Something unwanted has entered our existence I think it's better to view it from a distance Yes I really do Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one Aha Look what you've done I'm missing all the fun Baby you owe me one Aha My turn to run A chance to feel the sun Baby you owe me one |

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers... Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
