If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you The words will never show the you i've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships then where am I to go There's no one home but you you're all that's left me to And when my love for life is running dry you come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two place at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving spining slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you and when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away
Don't shut me out, shut me out, out of your life Don't shut the door, shut the door , door on my life You been lockin' apart of your love away You been holdin'out on me I just wanna get down deep inside of you So that I can set you free Don't shut me out, shut me out, out of your mind Don't be afraid, be afraid, 'fraid of what I might find I would never be judge you for what you are You can say what's in your heart It's the things that you're hidin' that bother me And it's keeping us apart so If you really love me like you like to say you Really do Gotta open up and let the rest of you come Shinin' through Don't shut me out, shut me out of your life Don't lock the door, lock the door , door on my life Such a beautiful thing we could come to know If you'll only trust in me I just wanna get down deep inside of you So that I can set you free and Turn you loose so you can see, so Don't shut me out, shut me out , out of your life and Don't shut the door , shut the door, door on your Sweet, sweet, yeah Don't be afraid, be afraid , 'fraid of what I might find, no Don't lock the door, lock the door, door on your Sweet, sweet mind.
The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize And finally blind me The downy softness of herself forever lingering Behind me Never ever has there been Nor will ever be again One someone to give you love, tenderness and be Your friend Hanging on 'till the bitter end You can't measure the cost of a woman lost But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.
I've tried to look inside myself To find the strength from which to draw from The view she saw from. Since she tried to go too deep Limitations brought her down And though I'd like to free her mind Visitations bring a frown I gotta find the place she found You can't measure the cost of a woman lost But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there. Where she is no one seems to know The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.
The morning mist that melts upon the meadow Brings a touch of sorrow The one I kissed is all alone And may or may not know tomorrow. Just an ordinary girl To the ordinary eye But so much deeper goes the vein Like the glittering of gold you want to touch Then you gotta hold You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.
Went to my family doctor For a pain inside my head Told him that since you left me I was feelin' like just about dead Doctor, what can you give me And should I take one or two Can you tell me just what it's gonna do Will it save me from what I'm goin' through Will it ease the pain Will it ease the pain Will it help to pacify my brain He told me not to worry He said to come back next week He asked me for a picture Of the girl who made me lose my sleep Well, all week long I suffered Didn't know what to do But went back to him when the week was Through And he gave me an artificial you And it eased the pain Yes, it eased the pain It completely satisfied my brain.
It don't matter to me If you really feel that You need sometime to be free Time to go out searching for yourself Hoping to find time to go to find
It don't matter to me If you take up with someone who's better than me 'Cause your happiness is all I want For you to find peace your piece of mind
Lotta people have an ego hang-up 'Cause they want to be the only one How many came before it really doesn't matter Just as long as you're the last Everybody's moving on and try to find out What's been missing in the past
And it don't matter to me If your searching brings you back together with me 'Cause there'll always be An empty room waiting for you An open heart waiting for you Time is on my side 'Cause it don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me....
'Cause there'll always be An empty room waiting for you An open heart waiting for you Time is on my side It don't matter to me
Friends and lovers Saying goodbye to each other Their way Your way Gathered in garden and parting in doorways And it's over Anyway that's what the papers said. And I wonder What was going on inside your head You were there You were there I'd like to ask Did anybody touch you? Come and go it went so fast Did anybody touch you?
Friends and lovers Turning away from the others Your way Their way Closing their doors and then climbing their stairways And it's over Anyway that's what the people say and I wonder Does it really have to be this way You were there You were there I'd like to ask Did anybody touch you Come and go it went so fast Did anybody touch you Come and go it went so fast Did anybody touch you? Or did you stand alone until the darkness came Just one more room where everybody knew your name
Friends and lovers Ever apart from others Endless hallways Just say goodbye and it's over for always And it's over Didn't you believe me when I said and I wonder What was going on inside your head You were there You were there I'd like to ask Did anybody touch you? Come and go it went so fast Did anybody touch you?
There's a reason for the life that you live And there's pleasin' that I know you can give And I been crayin' the love you been sayin' So baby won't you give it to me
You're tellin' me no - no - no You don't want to let your love go I'm tellin' you yes - yes - yes You really oughta be gettin' some happiness
I made a motion and it's out on the floor And it's a notion that I'd love to explore 'Cause I been tastin' the love you been wastin' So baby won't you give it to me...
You're a lady And I'm here in the palm of your hand Such a lady How much more do you think I can stand?
Take comfort where you find it whatever gets you through Take comfort don't be blind to it You must do what's a right for you
Every one at times must run for cover Don't you know you really can't be blamed For in this you're just like any other There's no need, no need to feel ashamed
Take comfort where you see it Whatever makes it right Take comfort when you need it To help you through the night
By the way we live in our confusion And the way that we misspend our youth By the time we're stripped of our illusions We may find illusions are the truth
Too much sorrow Too much pain Too many reasons No to go back again Leavin' without her Is too much to bear But when we're together Too much nothin' to share But too much love I've never seen Too much love I don't know what it means
Not enough caring Too many lies Sooner or later One too many goodbyes I got no reason For hangin' around And all my possessions Start to weighin' me down But too much love I've never known Too much love I need some of my own
Move over Move over Let the man in Move over Look out you'll let the man of sin in He may tell you what be think of you Not by his words but by the things be 'll do Move over Move over Let be man come in Move over Move over Let his love come into your heart You may think you're 'bout to be abused Yeah, but then again you just might be amused Move over Move over baby You're too far over Move over baby You may think that he's a friend in need But I've heard it said that he's a friend indeed Move over Move over baby You're got to move ever if you want his love Shine into your heart.
Be kind to me Be kind to me Be kind to me Oh baby and I'll show you the way
Kindness is a virtue Come on now babe It won't hurt you to be A victim of kindness No more hesitations We don't need no Explanations this time We'll leave them behind us
While you play the martyr You know you just make it harder for us To love one another So much indecision That don't mean you Got religion I think You're gonna discover
He's a good lad A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand Such a good lad And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way To show you the things that he never could say;
He's a good lad A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind He ain't so bad Right to the end he's a friend, about the best you can find And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you.
And he needs somebody to love Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of - He's a good lad
And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true
And he needs somebody to love Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of - He's a good lad.
Take away the moment That began the lonely night Take it away And you'll be back in my life 'Cause I need you back in my life Take me back to the time When I could live in your light If that's the only way to live in your love Take me back If that's the way for me to live in your love Take me back
If I must cling to someone Then you must be the someone On my own, on my way Lookin' back to the day Back to the day when I could live in your love Take me back I got to find a way to live in your love Take me back
You could be the answer to my lonely dream It's my only dream Dream it every night It's about a girl who makes the waters still Takes my troubled mind And makes it all seem right...
Oh what a change, what a change that would be I can feel it comin' over me, Maybe it's strange, strange to say But I can't remember how How it used to be.
You could be the answer or another dream Just another dream How will I know I'm afraid to wake up now and face the day Comes the light of day She'll have to go or stay...
Oh what a change, what a change that would be Just to wake and find you still here, 'Cause every time, time before When I open up my eyes You always disappear.
We could sit and hope that you'll be seen We could talk about the world and in between, And when the morning light was through Then I could see if it was really you.
Hear - the knock at the door and you know who is there, you tell yourself you don't care. Try - you try to pretend you'll just send him away, you know it won't end that way Your heart doesn't stand a chance, your eyes let him know And your pride doesn't means a thing - you lost it for him years ago;
Hear - the voice at the door and it makes you afraid, afraid but you don't know how. Try - you try to remind him the promise he made, he doesn't remember now The tears welling up inside, are drowning your dreams And your chance for another chance, keep leaving with him so it seems
Time - the friend that would bring him around, Is turning on you and it's bringing you down.
Love - you tell him you love him and want him to change, he says that he'll really try, Hear - how often you hear as he's closing the door. And softly you say goodbye... Come again Come again
Truckin' down the highway Get outta my way Always in a hurry Always in between That's where you can find me Truckin' down the highway Sittin' in the cab of A ten ton machine
Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin' In old run down cafes Some day I'm gonna find me a woman Rich enough to pay my way
Gonna make some inroads Drivin' home a payload Truckin' down the highway Like you never seen
Gettin' pretty tired of lookin' In truck stop cabarets Some day I'm gonna find me a woman Rich enough to pay my way
Then you're gonna find me Truckin' down the highway Sittin' in the back of A long limousine
Here in the afterglow of what we've done, what remains Here in the after show of what we've seen Is it strange to be falling away now Or would you say we should have known It would end this way and both of us turn to dust
We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies We got over our head and never realized When, how or why? But now as I sit reflecting on your face in my hand Now I can see your picture helps retrace all the steps we took, places we went to, thoughts that we tried, tripping along on a love we never understood with no guide
Many things were taken for granted all along Firm foundations never were planted all went wrong Down, we fell down and broke in a million pieces We couldn't put it all together We couldn't put it all together again
Hey have you ever tried, Really reaching out for the other side? I maybe climbing on rainbows But, baby here goes. Dreams there for those who sleep, Life is for us to keep, And if you're wond'ring What this song is leading to I want to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. No, you don't know me well, 'N' ev'ry little thing only time will tell, But you believe the things that I do. And we'll see it through. Life can be short or long, Love can be right or wrong, And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through, I'd like to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. Baby you know that Dreams they're for those who sleep, Life is for us to keep And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through, I'd like to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl.
