Альбом Carly Simon

Once you were just a friend of a friend at the bar
I didn't see you as my type at all
But I was stranded with no ride home
So, we drove the beach road in your car

You're the melody I never had to write down
You're the fantasy I forgot to forget
You're the magician who sings the sun down
Your face in silhouette

Meeting you at midnight
And moving to a moan
Motions giving moonlight meaning
I've never known this kind of love
This kind of love

You're the water I never dared to jump into
You're the place my body belongs
You're the radio I tune into
Plays my favorite songs

The tide is rolling sideways
A jealous sky above
Motions giving moonlight meaning
I've never known this kind of love
This kind of love, this kind of love

Meeting you at midnight
A jealous moon above
Motions giving moonlight meaning
I've never known this kind of love
This kind of love
This kind of love
This kind of love

Portuguese:
É amor e calor, amando você abraçando você e mais forte e mais forte

Oh my boy, what have you done?
Did you go out surfing on a frozen sea?
Did you scare the livin' daylights out of me?

Did you go too far to drive away the demons?
Did you go too far to know what love really means?
Did you imagine it was more cause she went away first
Or did you force her hand to renew your thirst?

Well if you ever want an endless night
Or you need a moon and stars to shine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you some of mine

Oh my girl, what have you done?
Is it something we can't even talk about?
Did you silence me, remove me from your faith?

Did you make me all but a stranger to your love?
Did you look right through me
Below me and above?
Did you try to ignore me, make me all but lost?
Did you cloud up the sky when you needed me most?

Well if you ever want an endless night
And you need the moon and stars to shine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you all of mine

It's gonna be fine
It's gonna be fine, just fine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you all of mine

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
Lining up sideways around the block
"It's not for the money" she say to you
Almost convincing herself that it's true
"I'll take care of your dog when you're away"
"I don't mind working Saturdays"
"When you wanna work I'll work with you", she say
"And I'll go on working when you wanna play"
"Nothing gonna hurt you when I'm around"
"I'll keep my eyes wide open and my nose to the ground"
"I'll be like a mama with a baby cub"

People say a lot when they want the job
People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
People say a lot when they want the job

When you begin to see a sinister gleam
You're locked in too tight on the same team
There's a little holiday in her heart
When she sees you slip up, Ahhhhh
It's like Christmas Eve just to see you trip up
Ooops, then down again
She'll sit on the floor hardly hiding a grin
When her tears spill out, crocodile chagrin
It's her contempt for you, she thinks you're a slob

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
People say a lot when they want the job
People say a lot when they want the job

Greatest cook to bring a meal (didn't need a recipe)
Said she'll also deal the cards (dealt the knave and two and three)
Said she also feel the thrill of the willow in the wind (feel the thrillo the willow---- or oak or elm or ash or pine sol)

It's already too late when she's reading your mail
Calling your agent and making the deal
She'll just copy and paste it and make it last
Nothing is sacred about your past

She'll tell of the poppies in the July fest
Maybe her brother with the badge can make the arrest
"You could go to jail, fail all the tests"
"Forget your keys and your secrets and your little black box"

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
People say a lot when they want the job

She was awfully good at fire (fiery fiery hussy burn)
She burned bridges where she could (she really couldn't burn them very well)
She turned young men into torches (burning scarecrow)
She had a way with wood (do away with wood, do away with wood)

People say a lot when they want the job
Lining up eager around the block
Promising, promising never to quit
Well it's a full time job to be a hypocrite
Maybe they remember that they've done it before
Practicing, with their dolls on the floor
The lie itself becoming the seed
The messy mascara, the future deed
The actor's bow, the junkie's need
They line up again just to wipe you clean

They line up again just to wipe you out
Line up again around the block
A mighty force of youth for hire
Spouting ideas that geniuses would rob ohhhhh

People say a lot when they want the job, oh
People say a lot when they want the job, ah
People say a lot when they want the job. yeah
People say a lot when they want the job
People say a lot when they want the job
People say a lot when they want the job

"Tell me Phoebe, do you want someday to have an award like that of your own?"

"More than anything else in the world"

"Then you must ask Miss Harrington how to get one
...Miss Harrington knows all about it"

I'm an island
Everyone can see that I'm an island
I've got ocean just about everywhere that I can see
And I'll be stranded unless you come to me
And I'm lonely

I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

Can't be too careful bout the friends you keep around you
Some who never let you down
Some who fail you every day
And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy
It amazes me

I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I'm an island
Can't you understand me?
I'm an island?
And I'm finally by myself, the way I've got to be
And that's exactly the thing that's been killing me

I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
The rising...

I love you more than the first sunset
The first star I saw I would surely bet
So how could you ever, could you ever forget?

You're here but you're gone
It's in your eyes
Something's gone wrong
You've stifled your cries
You can't expect that I'll ever forget

All the details of your mind you would tell me through the night
After we'd made love and the way was so open
Now you turn your back to me
As if we'd never spoken

But I still love you more than the first sunset
I swear I caught a shooting star the first time we met
So how could you ever
I know that I'll never
How could you ever, ever forget?

Free my eyes
Fill the skies
We've been dancing in your absence

Da da da...
Morning, hola, soleil
We've kept the darkness light
Dancing for the sun
To come back and rise up shining

Welcome home
Mother sun
Children reaching up like flowers

Da da da...
Morning, hola, soleil
We made it through the night
Knowing you'd return
To bless us with another morning

Baking sand, shining sea
Turning world
Dissolving shadows

Da da da...
Morning, hola, soleil
Behold the warmth of day
Rising near the shore
Hear the music start up playing

The only place I hang my hat is in my dreams
The only time I feel at home is in my dreams
The only place I'm not alone is in my dreams
The only place I recognize is in my dreams

That's the only place I know
To wander to and fro
I move about and go
As slow as time will let me go

Sometime I'll only dream and I'm not scared of that
I'll move through farther galaxies, wear other hats

Trip on a wink, an inkling of a shadow fill
An eclipse in less than half a blink
Where you love me still

That's the only place I know
To wander to and fro
I move about and go
As slow as time will let me go

That's the only place I know
To wander to and fro
I move about and go
As slow as time will let me go
As slow as time will let me go
Let me go... let me go

"Hi," he says
"Higher than the stars," he says
And "I know I've seen you before," he says
She looks up deep into his eyes and stares
"Where were you into my life till now?"

I know that when we're together our hearts fall into line
And I know why I'm afraid, this is my first time
And the stars will be quiet while I sing you this song
And I know I've been here before, and all day long

"Why," he says, "run away from faded prayers?"
"Are you so scared that we might not get along?"
Shy, she is, weary to speak of love
And too tired to sleep, too tired to dream

I know that when we're together our hearts will fall in line
And I know why you're afraid, this is your first time
And our hearts will be quiet while I sing you this song
And I know I've been here before, and all day long

Winter comes, brings with it its shortened days
Leaves us less time in between deep nights
And she stays because there's no time to wait
And the morning stillness still leaves no time for the light

I know that when we're together our hearts will fall in line
I know why we're afraid, this is our first time
Our hearts will be quiet while I sing you this song
And I know I've been here before, and all along
I know I've been here before, and all along
All day long, and all along. all along...

They're praying on bended knees
In their beds and on the dirty streets
Lights are out on all the Christmas trees
Feels like everyone's about to freeze
Makes me worry
Everywhere I look someone's counting on me

So many people to love
And so little time
Gotta hurry
Big girls and little boys
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
They need me to make it better
What's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?
I'm just askin'

They're using their money up
On shiny things no one will ever use
And the ones without can't buy a pair of shoes
Nothing gentle in the Daily News
Makes me worry
Everywhere I look someone's counting on me

So many people to love
And so little time
Gotta hurry
Big girls and little boys
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
They need me to make it better
What's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?
I'm just askin'

Can't find neighbors who are mending fences
From the mansions, to the Hamptons, to the Central Park benches
City folk wearing all their armor
Another St. Nick rings a bell on the corner

So many people to love
And so little time
Gotta hurry
There are big girls and little boys
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
They need me to make it better

What's an angel gotta do when she needs some lovin' too?
I'm just askin'. askin'
I'm just askin'

They don't care
If you brush your hair
They just care
That you're there
They don't mind
If you stay upstairs
They just care
That you're there

They don't know
If you're all
You've ever
Wanted to be
Or if life
Has answered
Your prayers

They just want you
To be there
They just want you
To be there

They don't mind
If you're mad and yell
As long
As it's not at them
Doesn't matter you're sad
They can tell
It's not because of them

They don't know
That you're striving
To be someone
And you're not sure
How you will fare

They just want you
To be there
They just want you
To be there
They just want you
To be there

Just as long
As you're
Somewhat right
You can do no wrong
Their trusting eyes
Looking up at you
Believing
You're so strong

They don't know
That in time
They'll grow
Into your shoes
They'll pound
The ground
And they'll swear
But they'll want you
To be there
They just want you
To be there
They just want you
To be there

And you know
I know
You know, I know
It's clear
A thousand percent
For you
I am, I am
I'm here

And you know
I know, I know you
Know it's clear
A thousand percent
For you I am
I am I'm here
A thousand percent
For you
I am, I am
I am, I'm here
And I know
I know, I know
And I know, I know
It's clear
And I know, I know
I know, it's clear

The last samba
The last samba is playing
Don't waste me it seems to be saying
For soon this crescent moon will fade
Becoming only broken shell
And half remembered tunes

So take me then
Here on this sand in the midst of these stars
Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars
Lost on the beach in this trance

They're playing the last samba
Shall we dance?

And half remembered tunes

So take me then
Here on this sand in the midst of these stars
Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars
Lost on the beach in this trance

They're playing the last samba
The last samba
The last samba
Shall we dance?
Hmm, shall we dance?
Shall we dance?

The soft winds of Buenos Aires
Once blew into her room
Now all she can do is kneel and pray
Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce

She's lost in the streets
Lost in her thoughts
She's lost in the smiles of the baby all day
She's new in New York, dressed up like a doll
But broken like clay
Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce

She cries when underneath the crystal moon
She hears a sultry Spanish song
But coming from that neighborhood saloon
It sounds all wrong

Puts the child in the stroller
And walks through the park
"What a beautiful baby you have"
The women all say
"Thank you" she says, pretending it's hers
Her own is so far away

Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce...

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear,
Too soon to let you go,
Too soon to say auf Wiedersehen,
Au revoir, no, no.

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear,
Too soon to rest my case,
Too soon to start another journey,
When we’ve just won the race.

Not while the lanterns and chandeliers,
Sway in the pale moonlight,
Not while the shimmer of far and near,
Holds us both so tight.

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear,
Too soon the tide will rise,
But not till it reaches another shore,
Will I ever say goodbye.

Not while the music and fireworks,
Sing down the hill to the sound,
Not while the girls in their summer gowns,
Are dancing round and round.

La la,la la, la la, la la,
La la, la la, la la.
La la, la la, la la, la la,
La la la la la.

Too soon to see the world beyond,
I’m willing to be late,
Let’s stay right here beneath the stars,
Let the voyage wait.

‘Cause it’s too soon, too soon,
Too soon to say goodbye,
Too soon.
