Winding your way down on Baker Street Light in your head and dead on your feet Well, another crazy day You'll drink the night away And forget about everything This city desert makes you feel so cold It's got so many people, but it's got no soul And it's taken you so long To find out you were wrong When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy You used to say that it was so easy But you're trying, you're trying now Another year and then you'd be happy Just one more year and then you'd be happy But you're crying, you're crying now
Way down the street there's a light in his place He opens the door, he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some quiet little town And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep moving You know he's never gonna stop moving 'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone And when you wake up, it's a new morning The sun is shining, it's a new morning And you're going, you're going home

You know I need your love, you got that hold over me Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line
I know how much I lean on you, only you can see Changes that I've been through have left their mark on me You've been as constant as a northern star, the brightest light that shines It's been you, woman, right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more
'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night Put something better inside of me, you brought me into the light Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind And it was you, woman, right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more
If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground I won't turn to someone else, they'd only let me down When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line
Now the night train is waitin' to take me away And I'm still feelin' guilty cause you're wanting me to stay Well I know, how I know, it's harder on you But you said it yourself, there's nothing else we could do.
When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the night Out there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' bright And it makes me feel better just to see it up there I hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
Now I know you've been waiting, but I'll be seeing you soon Meanwhile I just lay here staring at the moon And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps And the train keeps on rollin', and it just rocks me to sleep.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home. So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
Now from city to city, it's four hundred miles And I'm bound to wake up every once in a while And it's then that I call out to some higher power And then I'll go back to sleep cause I'll be home in an hour.
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight) So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight) Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)

Well here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day.
Sleep won't come, I need a drink Stop my head, don't wanna think Wishing I could be with you But I know you're so far away And I'm here waiting for the day.
Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.
Out on the street, shadows fall Silence speaks, I hear it call City of the living dead Count the lights on the motorway Lie here waiting for the day (alright).
Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.
Yes here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day (alright)

Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand" You shouldn't worry yes that ain't no crime Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
You need direction, yeah you need a name When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same After a while you can recognize the signs So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake When you believe there's no mountain you can climb And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
Next time, hmmmmm

I was caught up in a fever In that summer of ‘69 And my heart was cryin' out for change And I knew time was comin' when I'd get away.
So I moved down to that city Where I met a friend of mine And I must admit he tried to warn me well With all those bad luck stories he could tell.
He said "Take the money and run, Take the money and run Believe it, in this town you can't trust anyone You're gonna learn that lesson my son".
"Take the money and run, Buy yourself a place in the sun Don't be a fool, don't you trust anyone You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".
He was broken, he was wasted He'd been brought down to his knee And his heart was crying out for truth You could see the whole world's sadness in his eyes.
So I took good care of business At least as far as I could see I could read the signs and I knew all the lines But so many times his voice came back to me.
"Take the money and run, Get it at the point of a gun Believe it, in this town you can't trust anyone You're gonna learn that lesson my son".
"Take the money and run, Buy yourself a place in the sun Don't be a fool, don't you trust anyone You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".
I've been wanderin' through this wasteland Where the blind go leading the blind And the only sound on the money-go-round Was the million voices waiting to be found.
I could only hear a whisper It was comin' from the one I loved And her heart was saying this can't be right All my wasted days and all her lonely nights.
Take the money and run, Get it at the point of a gun Believe it, n this town you can't trust anyone You're gonna learn that lesson my son.
Take the money and run, Buy yourself a place in the sun Don't be a fool, don't you trust anyone You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run.

Why won't you talk to me I've done nothing wrong that I can see.
You know I can't take this silence, tell me what's wrong with you If I'm supposed to feel guilty, tell me what did I do It must be a reason for you acting this way But I swear I won't know it ‘til you come out and say.
Why won't you talk to me I've done nothing wrong that I can see.
I don't know why I'm trying to break down this wall That you build up between us or nothing at all It feels like a bad dream, it feels like a game But I swear this is one time that I'm not to blame.
Why won't you talk to me I've done nothing wrong that I can see.

I remember the sound of the passing train As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain And the touch of a hand and the way she said : 'Goodbye'.
And we walked in the sun down the royal mile Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled And she cried in the night and I heard her say : 'Don't go'.
What can I do, sweet darlin' ? I don't want to go away Looking at you, sweet darlin', I know I want to stay What can I do, sweet darlin' ?
And the light of the day I was rolling home I was thinking of you waiting on your own And I wanted to call but they sudden said : 'Oh no'.
Yeah, but now it's a dream, it's a memory But I'll never forget what you gave to me I was lost and alone but you made feel OK.
What can I do, sweet darlin' ? I don't want to go away Looking at you, sweet darlin', I know I want to stay What can I do, sweet darlin' ?
I remember the sound of the passing train As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain And the touch of a hand and the way she said : 'Goodbye'.
What can I do, sweet darlin' ? I don't want to go away Looking at you, sweet darlin', I know I want to stay What can I do, sweet darlin' ?
I'm goin', yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin' away I finally made up my mind I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin' today Leavin' the good life behind.
I can never be the kind of man you want me to be Don't cry, little darlin', don't cry You don't know what this kind of life is doin' to me Goodbye, little darlin', goodbye.
Wastin' away, wastin' away Too much of nothin' every day Wastin' away, wastin' away Too much of nothin' every day
Once upon a time you would've asked me to stay I know, little darlin', I know Now I get the feeling you don't care anyway It shows, little darlin', it shows.
Wastin' away, wastin' away Too much of nothin' every day Wastin' away, wastin' away Too much of nothin' every day
I'm goin', yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin' away I finally made up my mind I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin' today Leavin' the good life behind.
Wastin' away, wastin' away Too much of nothin' every day Wastin' away, wastin' away Too much of nothin' every day
I was lost on an endless sea Going down, going down, going down on an endless sea Sail with the wind, you weather the storm You bring it all home, bring it all home, you bring it all home.
I was free in the dead of night I want you, I want you, I want you in the dead of night Give me your love, I'll sing you my blues I bring it all home, bring it all home, I bring it all home.
I was blind in the light of day I need you, I need you, I need you in the light of day I still won't let go, hang on to this pride I bring it all home, bring it all home, I bring it all home.
I was lost on an endless sea Going down, going down, going down on an endless sea Think to yourself as you're laughing it off Bring it all home, bring it all home, bring it all home.
(fade) Yeah you think to yourself as you're laughing it off Bring it all home, bring it all home, bring it all home.

Out on the street and the rain is fallin', I got nowhere to go Here in my heart I can hear you callin' maybe I should come back home I don't know what keeps us together, but I can't break the chain I don't mind a little stormy weather, but I just can't stand the rain.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.
Sleep won't come so you lie there waitin', lookin' at the silvery light Tellin' yourself there's nothin' new, so whatever gets you through the night Meanwhile back in the music business the beat goes on and on I sell my soul to the company man, when there's nothin' else to lean upon.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.
People come and people go, friends they disappear There's only one thing that I wanna know, tell me where do we go from here Everybody's on the make, everybody's tryin' to get ahead In a world like this you just exist to feed the walkin' dead.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.
Lookin' out on a world gone crazy, waitin' for the fun to begin The race is on yeah they're gettin' ready, Jesus what a state we're in Meanwhile down in my backyard I'm sittin' doin' solitary Now that I've milked the sacred cow, I just worry ‘bout the military.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.

One life, and you're on your own, and you don't ever find a way back home One road and you travel alone, you keep on even when your hope is gone Now somethin' touches you with a different rhythm But all your life, you've been playin'a part And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.
Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart.
A worried mind, and a heart full of pain, you drag it around just like a ball and chain It doesn't matter where you go, there's no runnin' away from everything you know The writing's on the wall, but still you won't surrender You won't give up, you won't make a start And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.
Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart.
Rain clouds blowin' away, taking you back again to yesterday Bad moon on the rise, now you're runnin' out of alibis But somethin' touches you, with a different rhythm All your life, you've been playin'a part And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.
(fade) Change of heart. Change of heart. Don't let this cold world tear you apart.

See the dark night has come down on us The world is livin' in its dream But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come to trust that guiding light And leavin' all the rest behind We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known.
If you travel blindly, if you fall The truth is there to set you free And when your heart can see just one thing in this life We'll set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the water Yes we'll feel the sea grow Yes we'll meet out on the water Where are all strangers are known.
See the dark night has come down on us The world is livin' in its dream But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep And set out on the journey Find a ship to take us on the way.
