Oh you told me you were burned by holy water
And the priest forgot the words he was trying to say
It seems your best friend is your own reflection
And no promise of love is going to you want to stay

I don't mind
You can think it over slow and tell me what you find
I'm marking time
If you got love to give, baby, I don't mind

Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me love

You got fox eyes, they burn like a sunrise
You got a walk that makes a man's blood turn to wine
You bought and sold me for you lover
As long as you feed me good, baby, I don't mind

I don't mind
You can think it over slow and tell me what you find
I'm marking time
If you got love to give, baby, I don't mind

Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me love

So you told me you were burned by holy water
And the priest forgot the words he was trying to say
It seems your best friend is your own reflection
And no promise of love
And no promise of love is going to you want to stay

I don't mind
You can think it over slow and tell me what you find
I'm marking time
If you got love to give, baby, I don't mind

Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me loving
Keep on giving me love

Taking it easy, taking it slow
Riding home to lay my body down
Thought about it long enough to let it slip away, yeah
But I feel like a stranger here today

Lost in who across the water
Took me far away from home
It seems it ain't enough to get down on your knees and pray, yeah
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
Though the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain any day, oh lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothing ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket, oh I'm sitting, sitting on an empty train

It's been a such a long time, on a black and ribbon road
Taking it easy, living from day to day
Sometimes it ain't so good when you find it so high
Riding on the northwind you'll never get the feeling to try

I'll take the sun before the rain any day, oh lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothing ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket, oh I'm sitting, sitting on an empty train

Northwinds make it oh so easy
Make me live my life too slow
It seems it ain't enough to get down on your knees and pray
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
Though the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain any day, oh lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothing ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket, oh I'm sitting, sitting on an empty train

So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
So the tell how long has the train been gone?

I even missed an empty train

. . .


I sit here crying, looking at the barroom floor
I look on my glass like a crystal ball
All ladies with their velvet eyes
They look so sweet and fine
One night lovers, always discover
They're riding on a one track mind

So tell me who, who, who
Has been fooling who?

Baby, baby, give me kindness
Warm me with the morning sun
Help me lose this blindness
To see my life as it goes

Honey, if you lie to me
I just want to know if
If your love is true
'Cause one day I'll choke
on all this whiskey and coke
And I'll sure enough put the blame on you

Maybe baby you could show me some more
You seem to be feeling good
Every time I want to hold you, baby
Give me what a good woman should

So tell me who, who, who
Has been fooling who?

Baby, baby, give me kindness
Warm me with the morning sun
Help me lose this blindness
To see my life as it goes

Sing out brother
Sing out sister
Tell me like it is, like it is, like it is
And lay it on the line
Sing out brother
Sing out sister
We can always drink the water
But you know we going to drink the wine

Sing out brother
Sing out sister
Tell me like it is, like it is, like it is
And lay it on the line
Sing out brother
Sing out sister
We can always drink the water
But you know we going to drink the wine

. . .


Lately, I realise that it's you
You are the one who makes everything right
Summer days and winter nights

Slowly, I open my eyes
And your smile is there to greet me
And whisper words to tell me it's all right
I'll stay by you in your darkest night

Time and again the situation shows
You make it better
Time and again I realise
You are the morning of my day
Time and again my feelings let me know
You make it better

We wasted words on conversation
'Cause all I want to do is just talk about
The woman I love
The woman I love

I never thought I could be this way
When I hold you in my arms
I know I just want to stay
This is the place I should be
In sweet harmony
With the woman I love

You and I could always
Talk it over as friends
And you never ever worried
We always make it good in the end

Time and again the situation shows
You make it better
Time and again I realise
You are the morning of my day
Time and again my feelings let me know
You make it better

No wasted words on conversation
A necessary seperation
'Cause all I want to do is just talk about
The woman I love
The woman I love

. . .


She was the keeper of all my reason
Possessor of all I owned
She kept me on the edge of darkness
With words as cold as stone

Then you came along
Your eyes were flashing with desire
Oh babe, you got me burning so much
You got my soul on fire

Honey, you move me
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You tell me you believe in me
And you say you're going to treat me right

You gave me the answer
I knew right from the start
I'm going to tell you, holy roller
They say that love's a gamble
But I got the Queen of Hearts

If I could touch the crystal silence
That we have after making love
Just to tell you I need you here
In the glow of the stars above

If you ever leave or deceive or fool around
You could be right, you could be wrong
But, woman, I know I'll miss you
When you're gone

Honey, you move me
Like the wind through a willow tree
Ain't no doubt about it, baby
You make the blind man see

You gave me the answer
I knew right from the start
I'm going to tell you, holy roller
They say that love's a gamble
But I got the Queen of Hearts

You drive me crazy when you walk
Crazy when you talk
Crazy when you walk with me

You gave me the answer,
I knew right from the start
I'm going to tell you, holy roller
I'm going to tell you, holy roller
You're the Queen of Hearts

You gave me the answer
I knew right from the start
I'm going to tell you, holy roller
You're the Queen of Hearts

. . .


Only my soul stops me crying
Wondering why I feel alone
And only my love keeps me from weeping so bad
Giving me strength to carry on

Lead me on through restless waters
Walk with me along the way
Live the moment and tomorrow
For the lord will take it all on judgement day

Broken dreams lay all around me
Sad eyed children of despair
Whispered voices in the distance
Call me on to who knows where

Lead me on through restless waters
Walk with me along the way
Live the moment and tomorrow
'Cause the lord will take it all on judgement day
And the lord will take it all on judgement day

Hear me crying out for love
Hear me crying out for love
I'll never let you know it
I can only show it in my song

Only my soul

Hear me crying out for love
Hear me crying out for love
I'll never let you know it
I can only show it in my song

Only my soul

. . .


If I could see before my blindness
The smile you gave me before the pain
I could accept the world of darkness
Never see the sun again

Never ever going to leave you
So dry your eyes and smile again
Say the words I need to hear

Say you love me
Say you love me
Say that you need me
I can't take it any more

But I know I must be strong
To keep belive in right or wrong
I've got time but I can't wait too long
Want to get you home where you belong

Say you love me
Say you love me
I can't take it any more
Say you love me, baby, baby, baby
Say you love me
Say that you need me
I can't take it any more

Say you love me
Say you love me
I can't take it
I can't take it any more
Say you love me, oh baby
Say you love me
Say that you need me
I can't take it any more

I can't take it any more

. . .


Getting near the end now
I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise
But your eyes never made it a shakedown

Shot you full of rock and roll
Couldn't make your soul
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

I never saw the tears
But I knew you cried for rhythm and blues
Screaming like a wildcat
I knew that I had nothing to lose

Shot you full of rock and roll
Couldn't make your soul
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown

Shaking like a leaf in the wind
See me blowing away
Never see me fall on the ground
Till I've had my say

Shot you full of rock and roll
Couldn't make your soul
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown

Getting near the end now
I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise
But your eyes never made it a shakedown

Shot you full of rock and roll
Couldn't make your soul
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown

. . .


You don't want no more from me baby you'll bring me down
I said I've fooled myself so many times before you hanging round

You get me howling like a dog for a bone
You're such a sweet thing I can't leave you alone

Shame the devil tell the truth that's what you want
Shame the devil tell the truth

If you want me to please this way I will do anything
I just love to squeeze and tease do anything to please you baby

Shame the devil tell the truth you've got to
Shame the devil tell the truth

If you don't mind me crying for your medal tears of love you win
If you want for me truly I will give it to you baby such a sweet thing

Shame the devil tell the truth that's what you want
Shame the devil tell the truth

Shame the devil tell the truth that's what I'm going to do
Shame the devil tell the truth

. . .


Every day you've got me working so hard
I feel I need to slow down
How long can a man hold on
When he got the feeling been too long?

Sweet sweet mistreater
Glad he ain't coming home
Sweet sweet mistreater
Glad he ain't coming home

You shame the devil when you tell me the truth
Just like a dance hall queen
So long I've been holding on
I'm going to show you if you're wrong

Sweet sweet your kisses so fine
But your eyes don't lie
Baby you took all my pride
So many feelings can't hold them inside
