I need someone who really cares. Life is too short to play silly games I've promised myself I won't do that again. It's got to be perfect It's got to be worth it yeah. Too many people Take second best But I won't take anything less It's got to be yeah perfect. Young hearts are foolish they make such mistakes They're much too eager to give their love away.

Cats are crying, gates are slammin'
The wind is howling 'round the house tonight I'm as lonely as a boat out on the sea when the night is black and the tide is high Oh, on nights like this (I) feel like falling to my knees Fell like calling "heaven, please" Find my love - Find my love Find my love - Find my love Oh, well, I turn the dial on my radio trying to find an all-night station Want to hear a song I know, a song about my situation Oh, on nights like this... Find my love... Somewhere out there, there must be a boy for this girl Could be anywhere, could be next door or the other side of the world! Call up the radio, give'em my number, tell them to put it out on the air There must be someone, there must be someone like me sitting lonely as a boat out there Oh, on nights like this... Find my love... |

children with candyfloss
and prizes of goldfish young men kill tin ducks in sharp shooter poses the laughter of the lovers on the rickety stairs the rumble of the diesel and the sounds of the fair an old gypsy lady in soft Spanish whispers took my hands in hers and told me their secrets ??your heart is a fire and his love is an ember you must forget what you'll always remember?? superstitious nonsense just a fairground attraction I walked through the neons in search of distraction but the tears in my eyes knew the truth in my heart she'd only confirmed what I knew at the start oh-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah |

Sky of ink and diamond stars
Empty streets of just occasional cars Here we lie in a lullaby Of the stillness in our room Words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Ooh ooo, words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does All of the letters an' all of the words In all of the books, all over the world They're nothing but sounds and vowels and nouns For talking to strangers, that's all they're worth Words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Ooh, words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Orchestra of tiny harps It's like pepper sprinkled on our hearts We're threading a needle with boxing gloves When we try and talk about love Words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Ooh, words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Ooh, words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Yea, words are unable to speak of love Like a smile in a whisper does Woh woh oh oh Woh woh oh oh Woh woh oh oh Like a smile in a whisper does |

Midnight neons blur in drunken eyes
And flicker their mad, mad light Fireworks fall like a floral arcade It's a carnival tonight And I'm watching the party I'm watching the party I'm listening to the laughing I'm watching the party, yeah Here's the TV game show host He's telling some marvelous jokes Here's the prizes someone could win Just make the lucky wheel of fortune spin But I'm watching the party, yeah I'm watching the party I'm listening to the laughing I'm watching the party Picture a chintzy, chintzy ballroom hall Diamante necklaces and mirror-ball The conductor yawns and looks at his watch And swings his baton in time to a waltz Me, I'm watching the party I'm watching the party I'm listening to the laughing I'm watching the party |

Wish me well, say goodbye
I'll never tell I saw you cry Understand, you're not to blame It's just that the wind The wind knows my name And it's callin' me Callin' me Callin' me again I think that you knew right from the start There was this restlessness in my heart It's a feeling that I have tried to tame But it's hard when the wind When the wind knows your name And it's callin' me Callin' me Callin' me again It's a cruel wind that tears us apart But the worst thing is a tired and bitter heart So dry your eyes, no more tears (Hmm, hmm) Hold me once and I'll walk out of here (Hmm, hmm) Who knows one day we'll meet again (Hmm, hmm) But don't wait for me 'cause the wind knows my name And it's callin' me Callin' me Callin' me again Yes, it's callin' me Callin' me Callin' me again You carry on |
