Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Take my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby... a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock ticks, and think of you.
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new.
Flash back, warm night, almost left behind.
Suitcase of memories.....
Time after --

Sometime you pictured me, I'm walking too far ahead.
You're callin' to me, I can't hear what you've said.
You said, 'Go slow, I fall behind '
The second hand unwinds.....

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time.

I turn, my picture fades, and darkness has turned to grey.
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay.
Secrets, stolen, from deep inside,
The drum beats out of time.....

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time.

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting,
Time after time.

Time after time.

If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay

On and on the rain will fall
On and on the rain will fall


Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are


If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I'll meet you at the station.
You can be be there by four thirty,
cause I made your reservation.
Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
Well have one more night together
'til the morning brings my train.
And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville.
Ill be waiting at the station.
Well have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation.
Oh... oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Now I must hang up the phone.
I cant hear you in this noisy
Railroad station all alone.
I'm feelin' low. oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville,
Take the last train to Clarksville

I pulled into Nazareth
Was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head"Hey, Mister, can you tell me
where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and s my hand
"No" was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on meI picked up my bag
I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen
And the devil walking side by sideI said, "Hey, Carmen,
Come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go
But my friend can stick around"

Go down, miss Moses
There's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting
on the judgement day"Well, Luke, my friend,
what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you
stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rack,
if you'll take Jack, my dog"I said, "Wait a minute Chester,
you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's OK, boy,
won't you feed him when you can"

Catch a Cannonball now
to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low
And I do believe it's timeTo get back to miss Fanny
You know she's the only one
Who sent me here
with her regards for everyone


해석..나사렛으로 들어 갔을 때
난 거의 녹초가 되어 있었어
내게는 그저 몸을 눕힐
자리가 필요했지"이봐요, 하룻밤 묵을 곳이
어디 있는지 좀 알려 주겠소?"
그는 씨익 웃으며 악수를 하더니
싫다는 말만 했어
패니의 짐을 덜어 줘요
그냥 도와 주는 거에요
패니의 짐을 덜어 줘요
그 짐을 내게 얹어요나는 짐을 집어 들고
묵을 곳을 찾아 떠났는데
그 때 카르멘을 보았어
그 옆에는 악마가 나란히 걷고 있었지"이봐요, 카르멘
나랑 시내에 가지 않을래요?"
"나는 갈 데가 있는데. 하지만
내 옆에 있는 친구는 가 줄 수 있어"


Moses양, 내려가 봐도
보이는 건 아무 것도 없어요
심판의 날을 기다리는
늙은 Luke가 있을 뿐이죠"Luke, 이 친구야
Anna Lee는 잘 있어?
"부탁 하나 할께
Anna Lee 곁에 있어주지 않으련?"


정신 나간 Chester가 따라와서
안개 속에서 날 붙잡고 말했어
"내 강아지 Jack을 데려가 주면
내가 자네 선반을 고쳐 줄께""잠깐만, Chester
좋게 해결하지"
"됐네, 이 사람아
틈 나면 개밥이나 주도록 해"

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say

Just like children sleepin
We could dream this night away

But theres a full moon risin
Let's go dancin in the light

We know where the musics playin
Let's go out and feel the night

Because Im still in
love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in
love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar

When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

But now it's gettin late
And the moon is climbin high

I want to celebrate
See it shinin in your eye

Because Im still in
love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in
love with you
On this harvest moon
