"It isn't easy to say goodbye I try to understand the reason why My body is shaking My heart is aching within me
From my window I watch you go He's waiting for you in the street below His arms wide open while mine are cold and so empty
'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart in yours the sun is shining in mine it's raining knocking on the lonely one
And your life and my life they've gone separated ways in yours a new tomorrow in mine the sorrow knocking on the lonely one
Through the teardrops that cloud my eyes I see the image of the love gone by a silhouette that I won't forget for a long time The days are longer now that you're gone Without your loving arms to keep me whole My future lies on a cloudy skies with no sunshine
'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart in yours the sun is shining in mine it's raining knocking on the lonely one
'Cause your world and my world they're drifted apart in yours the sun is shining in mine it's raining knocking on the lonely one
And your life and my life they've gone separated ways in yours a new tomorrow in mine the sorrow knocking on the lonely one"

Everything I want to do I only want to do with you. Everything I want to do I only want to do with you.
I will always have a bed to sleep on And there'll always be a side for you. To let you in to half my world Baby that's the least that I can do And I don't want to go to work Unless you're there when I get back home And if you're not there I won't eat 'Cause I don't want to eat alone.
Everything I want to do ...
I don't ever want a house and garden In the quiet of a dead end town But if that's what you require me Then I'll want to settle down. And I don't want kids of mine Runnin' round and raisin' hell But I don't care what my kids do If they belong to you as well.
Everything I want to do ...
So come with me and stay with me And be with me ev'rywhere I go And love with me and live with me And watch with me as the garden grows. I don't ever want to be an old man
I don't ever want to die alone. To face the shadows of my life But never never on my own.
Well, you make your way downstairs in the early evening In the hopes that this will be your lucky night And the bars come up in two's and three's but never all at once And the fruit machines are winning left and right.
And you wipe your rhinestone glasses when they're misty Hoping that this bummer's gonna end And you're losing pretty heavy but, ma, no need to worry 'Cause the payoff has to be around the bend.
And it's a nickle here and a nickle there And no one gambles harder than the Dime Queen of Nevada And Jean-Louis of Paris set her hair with nickles everywhere.
Well, you say the magic words and you pull the handle The jackpot comes up every now and then And it roles around the floor there, must be twenty bucks or more there So you pick it up and put it back again.
And it's a nickle here and a nickle there And no one gambles harder than the Dime Queen of Nevada And Jean-Louis of Paris set her hair.
No, no one gambles harder than the Dime Queen of Nevada And Jean Louis of Paris set her hair.
No, no, no one gambles harder than the Dime Queen of Nevada And Jean Louis of Paris set her hair.
No, no one gambles harder than the Dime Queen of Nevada And Jean Louis of Paris set her hair.
Sitting by a lonely Kansas road A car goes rushing by At the rate of one an hour Want a lift into the nearest town And judging by the sky We're heading for a shower
I'm a half a million miles from home
Hey there, man, don't step upon the gas There's room enough inside And I'm very tired of walking I don't wanna do you any harm I just wanna get a ride And I'm very good at talking
I'm a half a million miles from home
Now the telegraph begins to hum There's a message on the wire An electric conversation "Well, ain't that life", I'm saying to myself "There's an awful lot of words But there's no communication."
I'm a half a million miles from home
I'm a half a million miles from home I'm a half a million miles from home...
A witness, a call, the Fire Department, the Sheriff and a half dozen cars Talk back on the radios, flashing amber lights and sirens, on Fountain avenue
On Fountain avenue
Swearing and wondering, the Schaefer ambulance screaming against the evening sky Pedestrians teeming from apartment blocks, a lady asks "What happened? Who's to blame? Those motorbikes and their riders, you kids are all the same."
A car with a twisted grill, ooh, a bike thrown on its side A loaded driver suffers shock, and a boy has quietly died
And they put him in the Schaefer, and the Schaefer pulls away And another loaded driver wishes he hadn't gone out today
Well, I'm witnessing something I'd never have dreamed of even a couple of years ago Families screaming and running about, ringing their hands in the sky, singing
"No, no, no, not our generation No, no, no, not our generation No, no, no, not our generation Tell us it's a lie!"
We're running out, running out (You know we're running out) We're running out, running out (You know we're running out)
We are running out of hope, and we are running out of love And we're running out of everything that I've been dreaming of And we are running out of oil, we are low on light and air And we're running out and digging holes and finding nothing there
It just ain't fair, running out (You know we're running out) There's nothing there, running out (You know we're running out)
Now, the car won't go, and the pool won't heat And we're eating beans 'cause there ain't no meat And the lamps which once lit up our street no longer light the way So we go to bed when the sun sinks low 'cause it's cold at night and the heat won't go And the television studio closed down the other day
Candle light, sweet candle light, throw shadows on the wall And aside from the whisper of your breath, there is no sound at all Candle light, sweet candle light, keep a loving mood We won't leave this country paradise 'til we run out of food
I'll kiss you 'til you're quivering, I'll love you 'til you cry I'll love 'til you're falling asleep I'll wake you in the dead of night, I'll love you in your dreams For my love is like the universe, so deep
Through the window in the roof what starry world above But we will not leave this world of ours 'til we run out of love
Yes, I'll wake you in the dead of night, I'll love you in your dreams For my love is like the universe, so deep
Candle light, sweet candle light, your wick has burned to death But we will not leave this paradise 'til we run out of breath
You came into town with your truck and your wardrobe Your turquoise, your pills and the crew Your cowboys, your playboys, the studs and the gay boys Your gals and your hairdresser, too
And you rented a small apartment, and everyone settled in Midst the pillows, the beads and the stereo leads and the ups and the downs in the gin
Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie Still shine on your high stepping shoes But those were the days, Mary, those were the days When you side stepped the Hollywood blues
When the money ran low all your friends found excuses The family soon fell apart And you learned there's a limit to what you can do When your purse ain't as big as your heart
But still you're blasting off somewhere on something with somebody new And nobody knows what he does, where he comes from, nobody, least of all you
Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie Still shine on your high stepping shoes But those were the days, Mary, those were the days When you side stepped the Hollywood blues
