(Chorus) One more time Play it again before you put your guitar down My darlin', one more time Now that you got me dreamin' About the good times. "Come on girl" You said to me, "Let's fly away Follow me wherever I will go And we won't worry about tomorrow" (Chorus) So things go And so you left, and we drifted apart Sorrow came, built in my heart a home And now I'm thinking about tomorrow. (Chorus) |

We can never know about the days to come
but we think about them anyway. And I wonder if I'm really with you now or just chasing after some finer day Anticipation, anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you and how right your arms feel around me. But I rehearsed those words just late last night when I was thinking about how right tonight might be. Anticipation, Anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And tomorrow we might not be together I'm no prophet, i don't know nature's ways. So I'll try and see into your eyes right now and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days. |

Well I have known you
Since you were a small boy And your mama used to say "My boy is gonna grow up and be Some kind of leader some day" Then you'd turn on the radio And sing with the singer in the band Your mama would say to you "This isn't exactly what we had planned" But you're a legend in your own time A hero in the footlights Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme But a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone. And though I know you Still have the heart of that small boy Well, you lend it out far too much And no one woman lovin' you Can ever feel that she's been really touched Then you turn on the radio And sing with the singer in the band Think kind of sadly to yourself This isn't exactly what you had planned But you're a legend in your own time A hero in the footlights Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme But a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone Well a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone |

We have no secrets
We tell each other everything About the lovers in the past And why they didn't last We share a cast of characters from A to Z We know each other's fantasies And though we know each other better when we explore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours The water was cold The beach was empty but for one Now you were lying in the sun Wanting and needing no-one Then some child came, you never asked for her to come She drank a pint of your rum And later when you told me You said she was a bore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours In the name of honesty, in the name of what is fair You always answer my questions But they don't always answer my prayers And though I know you say that it's me that you adore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never, never, never knew Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours We have no secrets Telling each other most everything now |

She rides in the front seat...
She's my older sister. She knows her power over me. She goes to bed an hour later than I do When she turns the lights out What does she think about? And what does she do in the daylight that makes her so great? Oh, but to be... Oh, but to be Oh, but to be I'd like to be... My older sister... She flies through the back door. She's my older sister. She throws French phrases 'round the room. She has ice skates and legs that fit right in. She's wicked to all the beaming dreamers who later Boast of an evening by her fiery side. Oh but to be... I'd like to be Please let me be Oh let me be... My older sister... And in her black gymnastic tights She runs into some elastic nights Sophisticated sister sings for the soldiers of the soccer team. Their silver ideas and sororities They tinker with love and their Model T's Oh Lord... Won't you let me be her for just one day? She turns everybody's heads While I wear her last year's threads With patches and stitches and a turned up hem. Oh but to be... Oh but to be I'd like to be just once to be... My older sister... |

Something's going down like a waterfall Some strong feeling's some old love I saw you and it made no sense at all Now I feel like there's too much caffeine in my blood Like a waterfall goin' down Like a waterfall washing me down Spinnin' me around Lord, and I'm drownin' Like a waterfall going down Just like a waterfall washing me down Like a waterfall going down and down and down You're an old lover making new contact Making those cold defenses melt And though lying in your arms is after the fact Once again I'm feeling like I've never felt it's like a waterfall going down Like a waterfall washing me down Spinnin'me round Lord, and I'm drowning Like a waterfall going down Just like a waterfall washing me down Like a waterfall going down and down and down |

In times in my head Was together about you I was an expert a silence I enjoyed the blonds in their red jeeps Stopping you on the street Knowing none could compare with me In my airy skirts and cool retreats (Chorus) In times when my head was together about you I was an expert at silence You could have told the truth all the time I was that at ease inside You never made me cry And then one night I lied I got down with a boy in the backwoods I didn't tell you and you didn't see And that's when jealousy got the dog up in me Now every look you get Seems like another threat I pick your pockets almost hoping to find Something to hurt about, to prove you unkind Oh but I still love you, baby though now I jsut can't sit still And though that boy meant nothing to me I believe I've lost that simple thrill of the... |

I'm home again in my old narrow bed Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end The low beam room with the window looking out On the soft summer garden Where the boys grew in the trees here I grew guilty And no one was at fault Frightened by the power in every innocent thought And the silent understanding passing down >From daughter to daughter Let the boys grow in the trees Do you go to them or do you let them come to you Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude Deny yourself and hope someone will see And live like a flower While the boys grew in the trees last night I slept in sheets the colour of fire Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desires Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze And watch by the window Where the boys grew in the trees |

Take a look around now Change the direction Adjust the tuning Try a new translation Don't look at your man in the same old way Take a new picture Just because you don't see shooting stars Doesn't mean it isn't perfect can't you see... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of So what's this about your best friend? She's got a brand new shiny boy And they're moving out to Malibu To play with all his pretty toys And you feel closed in by the same four walls The same old conversation With the same old guy you've know for years But use your imagination And you will see.... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale Is right here in disguise And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for Are shining in his eyes Don't look at yourself in the same old way Take another picture Shoot the stars off in your own backyard Don't look any further And you will see It's the stuff that dreams are made of.... |

Better not tell her, that I was your lover Better not make her jealous of me Better convince her there was nothing between us I'm not those initials in your diary But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Leave out the tears and the laughter She won't need to know That I cried when you left That I think of you still But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Leave out the tears and the laughter She won't need to know That I'd die for your love That I still...love...you |

Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away |

Two little sisters gazing at the sea,
Imagining what their futures will be. The older one says, as her eyes look around, "I will go as far as the corners of the town. I'll plant a little garden, flowers everywhere. And pluck the most fragrant for my hair." Two little sisters gazing at the sea, Imagining what their futures will be. The younger one stands with her eyes open wide. And says, "I'll go as far as the corners of the sky. I'll gather all the stars each night as they appear, And pick the very brightest one to wear in my ear." I didn't choose you and you didn't choose me. I didn't choose you, who would guess we're from the same family? But, what will you do when the nights get cold? When the stars grow dim and your dreams seem old. Watcha gonna do when winter calls, And your flowers fall from the garden walls? I'll come home to you, you'll come home to me. My love will be your remedy. I'll choose you and you'll choose me. We'll be two daughters dancing by the edge of the sea. |

Got on in New Haven Last car on the train. Put my hat on the seat, Wipe the tears from my eyes. I watched my life go by, Like a movie in my brain. Scenes unreeling; In a sceneless chain On the window, and a silver screen of rain! And the opening title scroll, and the score comes in and under. And I'm in the starring role, in a world of love-struck wonder; It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids; Falling in love, but in flashback. And then the music, that gorgeous music; And I wake up, Rattling down the railroad track. He could be sweet, But I stayed on my guard. Just how good a liar can a decent man be? I always played my hand Like I didn't have the cards. Cause he held them all So I could never see. Yes, he played me for a fool, and I agreed. And the closing credits roll, And the waves come in like thunder. Cause the hero's lost control, And I made a fatal blunder. Just another sad story; Two star-crossed kids, Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac. And then that music, That mournful music. And the train's disappearing Down that railroad track. And the long, slow dissolve, As we fade to black. |

A grey day in February
Some flecks of white, but mostly brown Purple surprises riding in on a nerve Begins to excite you before it settles down It's after the knives and the sutures and needles I'm left with an arrow that points at my heart I call it the seat of my sentimental sorrow Gone seems to be one of the sum of my parts And the night is cold As the coldest nights are There's a wise woman She comes from an evening star She says: Look for the signs You won't have to look far Lead with your spirit and follow Follow your scar A man I knew once said he wanted to see me I said I'd been sick but was on the mend I told him a few of the overall details He said: That's too bad And he's never called me again What a gift in disguise that poor little puppy So scared of misfortune and always on guard A big man will love you Even more when you're hurtin' And a really big man Loves a really good scar Cause the dawn breaks And it's breaking your heart There's a wise woman She sits at the end of the bar She says: Look for the signs You won't have to look far Lead with your spirit and follow Follow your scar A grey day in February Some flecks of white, but mostly brown The world has tilted but The world has expanded And the world has turned My world upside down Cause the night is warm and all full of stars There's a wise woman She's moved right into my heart She says: Look for the signs You won't have to look far Lead with your spirit and follow Follow Follow your scar English translation of Gaelic: Run with the red deer And sing with the wind The magic lasts And meaning will follow The scar is God given As a sign for your life Strength from your ancestors And through your own mouth Strength from memory Like a tree on the wind Show me your scar And I will make it better |

Some day I'm going to grow up And be every man's dream
Some day I'm going to grow up And forget this sad little me I'm going to shine in the spotlight Wear sexy clothes Be somebody everybody wants to meet And no one ever really knows No one will ever know me I'm an actress through and through And to my bones I'm an actress through and through And to my bones Critics will adore me At least they will at first But you see I already know this So it can't never really hurt And if it does, I'm an actress I'll play it nonchalant In the total scheme of things it's insignificant (sure I can take the knocks) Cause I'm an actress through and through And to my bones I'm an actress through and through And to my bones I may not be that pretty now But who's the referee Standards of beauty Will be redefined because of me And then they'll be the scandals Everywhere my name Men will jump from balconies And I'll just shrug and take the blame (yeah, they'll say I died for love) Cause I'm an actress through and through And to my bones Well, I'm an actress through and through And to my bones My acceptance speech will be a milestone Never will such a star Have ever graced the microphone And of course I'll thank my agent The way they always do Though I could have done it without him And that goes for the Academy too And the makeup people and the lighting designers and everybody else Cause I'm an actress through and through And to my bones I'm an actress through and through And to my bones I'm an actress yeah, yeah, yeah I'll be gracious to the lesser stars And generous to the unknowns And if another actress threatens My position on the throne Well, I don't know exactly what I'll do I don't exactly know But I know that it could turn into One of my most poignant roles Everyone will have their handkerchiefs out And they'll have to leave the theater early And then they'll go home And what'll they do? They'll have a big glass of alcohol Cause I'm an actress through and through And to my bones And if I make it to the top I won't be overthrown I'm an actress ah, yeah, yeah |

If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers, Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, With every breath that I take, Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun. |
