He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio I was traveling to London He was going off to Buffalo Changing planes in Pittsburgh We got grounded in a storm Now, I would give anything To be on that flyer's arm We played cards, mostly blackjack As we sat out on the tarmac We sang songs we knew in Spanish As we both loved songs of language He'd heard me on the radio I'd seen the flyers on San Antone Now, I would give anything To have that flyer for my own God bless the flyer Who would be flying home tonight I would give anything To see that flyer, flyin' tonight He said he'd never married Cuz, his heart was in the clouds And I said I was too clumsy That I broke the wings of the loves I found He shouted out his name to me As I ran to make my flight Now, I would give anything To see that flyer, flyin' tonight One year I watched a war in London In the airport leaving London And I wondered if I'd know him If I saw his wings in motion Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh... In the lightening of that flight? I wish that you could tell me now Will he be flyin' home tonight? God bless the flyer Who would be flying home tonight I would give anything To see that flyer, flyin' tonight God bless the flyer Who would be flying home tonight I would give anything To see that flyer, flyin' tonight |

Something's disturbed me
I'm out of your company Im out of the country With another man's heart I'm angered and doubtful And I'd shout a earful But nothing comes out When I open my mouth I'm nobody's angel now (she's out of the country now) I'm nobody's angel now (she's out of the country now) Cuz' if I can't give love I can't rise up above these clouds So, I'm nobody's angel now I was the forest for love songs The one who can't love wrong The one who won't fall But will still write it down I'm the one who would understand Who listens with pen in hand On everyone's shoulder Till it's me who falls down I'm nobody's angel now (she's out of the country now) I'm nobody's angel now (she's out of the country now) Cuz' if I can't give love I can't rise up above these clouds So, I'm nobody's angel now I'm grounded and rusty My dance card is dusty now Because I wanted to be What the angels see When they look down Just a couple on the avenue With their feet on the ground I'm nobody's angel now Something's disturbed me I'm out of your company I'm out of the country now Something's disturbed me I'm out of your company I'm out of the country now I'm nobody's angel now (she's out of the country now) Nobody's angel now (she's out of it) I'm out of the country now I'm out of the country now And nobody's angel now |

When you say I love you
Is it just because you know that's what I want to hear? And lately friends are warning me What they hesitate to tell me leaves a thread of fear People talk around this town And when the final truth comes down There's only one thing left to do It's come back 'round to you (come back 'round to you) Say it isn't so Tell me that you're someone I'll believe in Am I the last to know That you don't love me anymore? Uh if you ever did Say it isn't so Am I caught up in a web You are weaving? Oh, the stories I've been told Indicate that you're already Reachin' for the door It's just a lover's situation Are you in or out of love? I've heard those words before I've had to face up to the truth Cuz staying and pretending Would had hurt him more Sometimes lovers stay too long Sometimes they leave too soon But there's only one thing left to do It's come back 'round to you (come back 'round to you) And say it isn't so Tell me that you're someone I'll believe in Am I the last to know That you don't love me anymore? If you ever did Say it isn't so Am I caught up in a web That you are weaving? Oh, the stories I've been told Indicate that you're already Reachin' for the door Oh, the stories I've been told Baby say it isn't so |

I'm sitting on a southbound train
Staring at the sky I'm thinking of my childhood And I'm trying not to cry While a stranger sleeps against me And it feels like I'm his wife The towns and cities flutter past Like the pages of my life My heart is on the baggage rack It's heavy as can be I wish that I could find someone Who would carry it for me Just to pay it some attention And to handle it with care Because it has been dropped and Is in need of some repair Some things I know Some things I guess Some things I wish I could learn To express Like the way that I feel As I stare at the sky And I remember your voice And the sound of goodbye 0r maybe it's the autumn...Chill Maybe it's the rain Maybe I should wake the stranger And ask him his name But, my eyes they would betray me And my words could not defend No, I must learn to wait my turn Before I love again Some things I know Some things I guess Some things I wish that I could learn To express Like the way that I feel As I stare at the sky And I remember your voice And the sound of goodbye |

Shut it down and call this road a day
And put this silence in my heart in a better place I have travelled with your ghost now so many years That I see you in the shadows In hotel rooms and headlights You're coming up beside me Whether it's day or night These days my life is an open book Missing pages I cannot seem to find These days your face In my memory Is in a folded hand of grace against these times No one's ever come between your memory and me I have driven this weary vessel here alone Will you still find me if I leave you here beside this road Cuz' I need someone who can touch me Who'll put no one above me Someone who needs me Like the air he breathes I can't remember where this toll road goes Maybe it's Fort Worth, maybe it's a heart of gold The price of love is such a heavy toll That I've lived my life in the backroads With your love in my pocket If I spend the love you gave me Tell me where will it go? These days your face In my memory Is in a folded hand of grace Folded hand of grace Folded hand of grace Against these times |

Time
It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time We're living in a time of inconvenience Compassion fails me with this meaness in the air City streets are filled with violence So we close our doors to the city And pretend that it's not there Here I go again Back out on these mean streets The evil seems to cling to the soles of my feet Because I'm living in a time of inconvenience At an inconvenient time We're living in the age of communication Where the only voices heard have money in their hands Where greed has become a sophistication And if you ain't got money You ain't got nothin' in this land But, here I am one lonely woman On these mean streets Where the right to life man has become my enemy Cuz I'm living in his time of inconvenience At an inconvenient time And I've turned my cheek As my history fades While the clock ticks away Any progress we've made I never thought I'd be ashamed to be human Afraid to say My time has seen its day Because I'm living in a time of inconvenience Living in a time of inconvenience Living in a time of inconvenience In an inconvenient time This is a time of greed and power Where everyone needs to have someone to shove around Our children come to us for answers Listening for freedom but they don't know the sound And there they are, our children Dumped out in these mean streets The evil sweeps them up And brings them to their knees Because they're living in our time of inconvenience They're living in the age of communication This is a time of greed and power This is a time that I wish was not mine Because it's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time |

I can't be your weather
Cuz if it rains then it rains I can't be your lover Cuz the feelings would change I can't be the wind Cuz the wind blows too free But if you want a true companion Don't forget about me Don't forget about me When your heart's in the shade When there's no one to hold you And you've fallen from grace When the spotlights come blind you And you can no longer see I'll be right there beside you Don't forget about me Friends never leave you They're a two way street They'll always believe in you When you've ceased to believe And I'll still feel the same If you're a friend in need Cuz, I'll always love you Don't forget about me Don't forget about me When your heart's in the shade When there's no one to hold you And you've fallen from grace When the spotlights come blind you And you can no longer see I'll be right there beside you Don't forget about me Don't forget about me When your heart's in the shade When there's no one to hold you And you've fallen from grace When the spotlights come blind you And you can no longer see I'll be right there beside you Don't forget about me Don't forget about me |

I saw you on the avenue
You looked so tired and a little blue You were in your Sunday best Your father's tie upon your chest Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will In the corridor of one hotel We once crossed paths I recall it well Voices in an empty hall Slamming doors to hearts that fall Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will Always will Always will Hey Always will Always will Hey Love has been my passer by I stood too still to catch your eye But there out on the avenue In your father's tie I'll remember you Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will Hey, you always will |

Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine
We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry New York, New York is a friend of the traveling kind And I'm coming around from years of hard times He's chased me down through the towns and the miles Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow has been your share If you are traveling back to Georgia Won't you take me with you there Well I'm long gone darlin', lonesome blue I been thinking of leavin', I been thinkin' of you But that big city singin', man, I like the way that it shines I was half a mile from Canada waitin' on a train Wonderin' and wishin' I could disappear again I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow has been your share If you are traveling back to Georgia Won't you take me with you there Well I've been troubled by love untrue He's a fool who'll drown in his fountain of youth I can see that now as I'm walkin' and talkin' with you Well I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain Scattered in America, I'm scatterin' again But if you're goin' south darlin' I guess I'm travelin' with you And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow has been your share If you are traveling back to Georgia Won't you take me with you there And if you feel my love won't leave you And if your sorrow has been your share If you are traveling back to Georgia Won't you take me with you there Take me with you Oh won't you take me home... |

I should have known that you were gone back in Germany
You told me in the dark while I was sleeping Then you slept through the sunrise As it washed across your face And all that I had heard were our hearts beating Talk to me while I'm listening While this love has a voice that we both Can hear Before you let it go... This greatest love I've ever known Won't you please Talk to me While I'm listening I cannot find a place to put this love away Or lose the thought of sunlight on your face I thought I heard your voice Say I love you today But it was only the sound of my heart beating Talk to me while I'm listening While this love has a voice that we both Can hear Before you let it go... This greatest love I've ever known Won't you please Talk to me While I'm listening How I wish that I could take us back to Germany I would stay awake and you would talk to me Yet for every drop of rain I hear There's bound to fall another tear Upon this page of song of my heart aching Talk to me while I'm listening While this love has a voice that we both Can hear Before you let it go... This greatest love I've ever known Won't you please Talk to me While I'm listening Before you let it go... This greatest love I've ever known Won't you please Talk to me While I'm listening Talk to me Talk to me |

I look out on these shields of heather
Across this countryside I wonder how they've grown together While people live such separate lives I think I'll stay inside for the winter Cuz the weather's in my bones And the wind could shatter bone to splinter Then howl me back home I'm fragile as the lady of the harbor As fragile as her torch that glows As fragile as the gulf stream waters To the Texas coast... to the Texas coast I stared up at the faces in the mountain Just a year ago Laughin' in the spirit of America And singin' in the snow Now I wish I felt as strong as that mountain Just carved in stone I wish I was the gulf stream water And I could sail you home I'm fragile as the lady of the harbor As fragile as her torch that glows As fragile as the gulf stream waters To the Texas coast... to the Texas coast I would give you all that's in me Though part of me is gone If I could have that day upon the mountain For the snow and the song But here's to love and all that it changes When you're alone out in the storm If I'd had a shield of heather I'd have never loved at all I'm fragile as the lady of the harbor As fragile as her torch that glows As fragile as the gulf stream waters To the Texas coast... to the Texas coast I would sail you home To the Texas coast I would sail you home To the Texas coast |

On Grafton Street at Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round This is not my place of memories I'm a stranger in this town And the faces seem familiar And I know those songs they're playin' But I close my eyes and find myself Five thousand miles away It's funny how my world goes round without you Oh you're the one thing I never thought I could live without I just found this smile to think about you You're a Saturday night Far from the madding crowd The buskers sing by candle light In front of Bewleys Store And a young nun offers me a chair At a table by the door And I feel compelled to tell her Of the sisters that we knew How when they lit their candles I'd say a prayer for you It's funny how my world goes round without you Oh you're the one thing I never thought I could live without And I just found this smile to think about you You're a Saturday night Far from the madding crowd The church bells ring for holy hour And I'm back out in the rain It's been twenty years or more Since I last said your name And I hear you live near Dallas now In a house out on the plains Why Grafton Street brought you to mind I really can't explain It's funny how my world goes round without you You're the one thing I never thought I could live without And I just found this smile to think about you You're a Saturday night Far from the madding crowd On Grafton Street at Christmas time The elbows push you 'round All I carry now are memories I'm a stranger to this town |

Let me say this one more time
Just in case you didn't hear it right I'd put it in my own words So I'll know it's understood You sent me out on a limb You brought me home... Sent me back again ...Out on that limb one too many times You should've known I'd learn to fly You can have anything on earth you need Anything that breathes you can surely still its wings You can have everything on earth you see Anything on earth you need but me You can have anything you need but me now Anything on earth you need but me Well I'm shattered as the broken glass Around the wreck out on the tracks You had the very heart of me in your hands with honesty You rolled it up within your sleeve like a beacon Then you left it out In the cold and the rain I've picked it up and brought it home again You can have anything on earth you need Anything that breathes you can surely still its wings You can have everything on earth you see Anything on earth you need but me You can have anything you need but me now Anything on earth you need but me Well it's time to move the lights are green After all it's love we need And if it doesn't dance and breathe Then it doesn't grow it seems My headlights catch you with my love upon your sleeve You're standin' still in the middle of this road It's time to pass you by and go You can have anything on earth you need Anything that breathes you can surely still its wings You can have everything on earth you see Anything on earth you need but me You can have anything you need but me now Anything on earth you need but me You can have anything you need but me now Anything on earth you need but me Anything on earth you need but me |

This heart was almost taken,
This heart had a love of its own This heart was reawakened When you came along. This heart was born feet running. This heart saw your porch-light on This heart hit the sidewalk wondering Why you left it on This heart was stranded in the winter Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes This heart knows when the love comes And when it goes This heart hears the telephone ringing This heart's gonna let it go 'Cuz this heart knows the bells she's hearing Aren't the telephone. This heart has heard your laughter This heart has learned how to smile This heart'll be your true believer If you stay a while This heart was stranded in the winter Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes This heart knows when the love comes And when it goes This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart was stranded in the winter Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes This heart knows when the love comes And when it goes This heart was almost taken this heart was born feet running This heart hears the telephone ringing Gonna let it go This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart This heart |
