You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die 'Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you 'til I die 'Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you And I see how hard you've tried I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you 'til I die 'Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides.
or awhile to love was all we could do we were young and we knew and our eyes were alive Deep inside we knew our love was true For awhile we paid no mind to the past we knew love would last Ev'ry night somethin' right would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin' happened along the way what used to be happy was sad Somethin' happened along the way and yesterday was all we had And oh after the love has gone how could you lead me on and not let me stay around Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all we would ever need Love was strong for so long never knew that what was wrong oh baby wasn't right We tried to find what we had till sadness was all we shared We were scared this affair would lead our love into Somethin' happened along the way yesterday was all we had Somethin' happened along the way what used to be happy is sad
Somethin' happened along the way oh yesterday was all we had And oh after the love has gone how could you lead me on and not let me stay around Oh oh oh after the love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found
Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found Oh woh woh after the love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found Oh woh woh Oh woh woh after the love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found
Woh woh woh after the love has gone what used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found Woh woh woh
It's over and done but the heartache lives on inside And who's the one you're clinging to instead of me tonight? And where are you now, now that I need you? Tears on my pillow wherever you go I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean You'll never see me fall apart
* In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul But if you don't come back Come home to me, darling You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight Goodnight Goodnight
I'm there at your side, I'm part of all the things you are But you've got a part of someone else You've got to find your shining star And where are you now, now that I need you? Tears on my pillow wherever you go I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean You'll never see me fall apart
* Repeat
And where are you now, now that I need you? Tears on my pillow wherever you go I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean You'll never see me fall apart
I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever Embarassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasnt there But he was there this stranger Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
I close my eyes only for the monent and the monent's gone. All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity dust in the wind. all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song just a drop of water in an endless sea. all we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see dust in the wind. all we are is dust in the wind. Ah Ah Ah......
Don't hang on nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky it slips away. All your money won't another minute buy dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind. Dust in the wind everything is dust in the wind.
Desperado Why don't you come to your senses You been out ridin' fences For so long now Oh, you're a hard one But I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you If she's able You know the queen of hearts Is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones That you can't get
Desperado Oh you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger They're drivin' you home
Freedom, Ah freedom That's just some people talkin' You're prisoners walkin' Through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time From the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
Desperado Why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences Open the gate
It may be rainin' But there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you You better let somebody love you Before it's too late
It's not my way to love you just when no one is looking It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me When it's not love you won't be needing you're not free
Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing If you won't take the things you're make me wanna give I never cared too much for games and this is driving me insane You're not half as free to wonder as you claim
That's why I'm easy, yes I'm easy Take my hand and pull me down I won't put up any fight because I'm easy
Don't lead me on if there's no way for you to love me If loving you would have to mean a sometime thing I can't put bars on my inside: my love is something I can't hide It still hurts me when I recall the times I tried
Because I'm easy, yes I'm easy If you want me I come running without any time to think, because I'm easy
Don't do me favours let me watch you from the distance For when you're near I find it hard to keep my hand But when your eyes throw light at mine it's enough to change my mind Let me leave my cautious words and ways behind
Don't give up on us, Baby Don't make our love seem light The future isn't just one night It's written in the moonlight And painted on the stars We can't change ours
* Don't give up on us, Baby We're still worth one more try I know we put a last one by Just for a rainy evening When maybe stars are few Don't give up on us, I know We can still come through
I really lost my head last night You've got a right to start believing There's still a little love left, even so
Don't give up on us, Baby Lord knows we've come this far Can't we stay the way we are? The angel and the dreamer Who sometimes plays a fool Don't give up on us, I know We can still come through
It's written in the moonlight And painted on the stars We can't change ours
* Repeat
Just for a rainy evening When maybe stars are few Don't give up on us, I know We can still come through
Don't give up on us, Baby Don't give up on us, Baby
Please, don't let this feeling end, It's ev'rything I am, Ev'rything I wanna be; I can see what's mine now, Finding out what's true, Since I've found you Lookin' through the eyes of love
Now I can take the time, I can see my life As it comes on shining now; Reachin' out to touch you, I can feel so much, Since I've found you Lookin' through the eyes of love.
And now I do believe, That even in a storm, we'll find some light; Knowin' you're beside me, I'm alright.
Please, don't let this feelin' end, It might not come again; And I want to remember How it feels to touch you; How I feel so much, Since I've found you Lookin' through the eyes of love.
Down in Jamaica They go lots of pretty women Steal your money Then they break your heart Lonesome sue, she's in love with ol'Sam Take him from the fire into the frying pan
On and on She just keeps on trying And she smiles when she feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on
Poor ol'Jimmy Sits alone in the moonlight Saw his woman kiss another man So he takes a ladder Steals the stars from the sky Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
On and on He just keeps on trying And he smiles when he feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on
When the first time is the last time It can make you feel so bad But if you know it, show it Hold on tight Don't let her say: Goodnight
Got the sun on my shoulders And my toes in the sand My woman's left me for some other man Aw, but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan Toss up my heart to see where it lands
On and on I just keep on trying And I smile when I feel like dying On and on (9x)
So far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know, you're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good Oh how I wish I could, but you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway I can't say much of anything that's new But if I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it being close to you But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know, you're just time away
Yeah, yeah, yeah You're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely Nothing else to do but close my mind And I sure hope the road don't got to own me There's so many dreams that I've yet to find But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know, you're so far away You're so far away
You remind me I live in a shell, Safe from the past, and doing' okay, but not very well. No jolts, no surprises, No crisis arises: My life goes along as it should, it's all very nice, but not very good.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again, Ready to put my love on the line with you. Been living with nothing to show for it; You get what you get when you go for it, And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again with you.
When she left me in all my despair, I just held on, My hopes were all gone. Then I found you there.
And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again, Ready to put my love on the line with you. Been living with nothing to show for it; You get what you get when you go for it, And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again, Ready to put my love on the line with you. Been living with nothing to show for it; You get what you get when you go for it, And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again Ready To Take A Chance Again with you, With you.
