halfway gone, halfway back
you are always dreaming about what you'd like
you are taking your time in your busy day
to sit by the tract and watch the train roll away

* dreamer i know what you are thinking
i can see it in your face
maybe before you were happy
but now your thoughts are on disgrace

you've begun to change now baby, i don't see
oh, but i know you well
and it's clear to me
you think that chains hold you near, now baby
they don't exist to me,
you don't have to stay now
i won't insist

* repeat

so take the train today,
and don't look back again
live the dreams you have, don't dwell on what has been
your futures brighter now,
there's brighter days ahead
and your sad farewell words, better off unsaid.

* repeat

clear dyes, he dies on his own time
roar and i want hear, your thunder
call each other chinese names
none f these books just have a number
there's a garden where the devil lurks
such a strange life this

* they break their books for suede and gold
and all the things which they buy,
things that i thought were heavy loads
like a lotus in the oriental

* repeat

brother, brother, help me please
i am as lonely as i can be, all my friends are scaring me
but if you forget me, i will leave, yeah

sister, sister, what can i do
i am in love with tootsie too
please excause me if i am low
but mere feelings we have to show

people, people, hold my hand
where in the hell is this, promised land
stick it, stick it, stick it, stick it,
here for a while

mother, mother, so good to me
praying just so i can breathe
my father, my father, my only one,
i hope your brother is your sone
* repeat

Savannah Woman dressed in white
Stands out of tropical rains
She pulls her gin and tonics tight
And curses her lonely domain
Brazilian winds blow warm in Rio
A white estate they call "La Nada"
Meant for her soul or so she says
Hides her sadist gin made eyes

No One knows but me
How she left me so behind
Savannah Woman
I could never leave you so unkind

Snow white and with desire
That vamp from the magazine
Cold and Distant as the moon
why can’t she burn like fire?

No One knows but me
How she left me so behind
Savannah Woman
I could never leave you so unkind

That woman`s got a smile,
puts you in a trance
And just one look at her,
makes you wanna dance
Those dark and those red ruby lips,
only a fool would pass them by
With just a hint of ruthlessness,
sparklin` in her eye
She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all
She`s a teaser and she`ll tempt you `till you fall
Yeah she`ll tempt ya `till ya fall

She sips gin from a teacup,
wears those fancy clothes
And somebody always knows her
no matter where she goes
She`ll talk to you in riddles,
that have no sense or rhyme
And if you ask her what she means,
says she don`t got no time
She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all
She`s a teaser and she`ll tempt you `till you fall
Yeah she`ll tempt ya `till ya fall

She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all
She`s a teaser and she`ll tempt you `till you fall
She`s a teaser and she`s got no heart at all

baggage hand came to my wrist
i drag it everywhere i go
sometimes i find you with my fist,
as if i knew which way was home
which way would i go,
if i knew which way was home?

the corner club we use,
will bring that whisky in my water
at times i get the blues,
but i now i should be harder
where would i go,
if i know which way was home?

* run down those trails, a chance for love must have life
if's wild dogs, howling in the night, yes wild night

it would have come and cut me free
i am sick of my own company
sometimes i miss the goal
most times i miss my home
still i'd go, if i knew which way was home

* repeat

Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again
Will it be dry tomorrow?
Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I m living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I

Don't know where to run to, don't know where to hide
See my future comin', but I try to keep my pride
But I lost you, lost you woman
The only woman, woman who was my kind

She make me lose my money, she make me lose my name
After what ya done me I can only treat ya sane
But I lost you, lost you woman
The only woman, woman who was my kind

But if you come back, I won't be the same
After what you done me I can always treat ya sane
Cause I lost you, oh that woman
Only woman
Woman who was my kind

Stop
Cause baby can't you see that I can't take it no more
Stop
If you keep it up, I'm gonna go through the floor

Never knew how good love could be, love has gone and made a fool of me.
Everything is hazy, one more kiss could drive me crazy

Stop
Hold on just a minute cause I got to catch my breath
Stop
Every time you squeeze, you scare my heart half to death

Thought I was the captain of my ship, but your love has made me lose my grip
Everything is hazy, one more kiss could drive me crazy

I never knew how good love could be, love has gone and made a fool of me
Everything is hazy, one more kiss could drive me crazy

Stop
I think you're trying to take advantage of poor old me
Stop
When you touch my hands, I'm as helpless as I can be

Tell me baby what are you made of, what you do to me must be made of love
Everything is hazy, one more kiss could drive me crazy, yes she will

You will never see me
Walking round feeling low
You will never hear, there
Goes a man who doesn't know

Too many roads to walk
Too many things to do
Too many words to talk
Moments too few


I don't think you know, though
You've been told a million times
It's not clear to see unless
You read in between the lines

Look out your window
When did it start?
Nothing's for certain
It's just a part


If you're feeling low, no
And your world comes tumbling down
If you see hard times, stop
Better take a look around

Good things must end
They never last
Look to tomorrow
Forget the past

Would you like to come home with me?
I can think of things to show ya
Thinkin' that I'd like to know ya, uh
Mornin' milkman's comin'
Get up, greet my day
Evenin' brings the sun in
Still I find my way

Change of plans, makin' a landin' to see ya
And I do wanna be your man, oh, yeah
Sunday, highway drivin'
It all looks about the same
Nowhere, just arrivin'
Still I play the game

I'm home grown, growin' my own and I need ya
Need ya to beg my pardon, to tend my garden
Flowers, she's sittin' for poses
She wants me to sing my song
Hours, she's like a stoned Moses
Guess I'll sing along

Taking my time
Choosin' my line
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got myself in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' ta doubt you

Seems to me
Talk all night, here comes the mornin'
Seems to me
You just forget what we said
And greet the day

Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

I've got ta cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet ya half way
Got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya

Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

Walk away
