And slowly she turns away, don't look any more
There's only stillness, no more air can he draw
No time to say goodbye, no last little kiss
No life where bullets fly, and now it comes to this

What's left in her world?
The child's gone

Softly she whispers, where did I go so wrong?
My future, my baby, tell me what's going on?
No light in mother's eyes, nothing you can say
No answers for the whys she'll ask every day

What's left in her world?
The child's gone

Lately I've been trying to have a word or two
Waiting for a moment to get to you
As I've been restraining what I need to say
Silence gets misunderstood some way
And now it's time to sit right down and make my point of view
Otherwise, love of mine, I'll fall away from you

Woman, I'm a singer, that's all that I'll ever be
Give and take, and don't complicate, the simple harmonies
There's nothing I need from you that you should keep from me
Nothing that you hold sets you free
And all I have these simple words that I will give to you
He's the fool who won't reach out and tries to play it cool

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you
I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you

Darling, come on and hold me
I need a one and only
Baby, hear me when I say, baby

I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you
I'm crying, baby, I'm crying
And it feels like I'm dying
'Cause I can't get next to you

Well, I never thought I'd see you back
On my side of the railroad tracks
Just blown in from Tokyo
Hanging out at the rock and roll show

You're looking for some kid to sign
Catching jive off the grapevine
Billboard's running a picture next week
Hits applauds you on your winning streak

Never mind you're sleeping alone
There's always someone else on the phone

So, momma, don't stop your rock and roll
You might just find your heart has gone cold
Momma, don't stop your rock and roll
All day long

Said I'm real impressed with the things that you've done
Look how far this lady has come
Used to be so quiet and sweet
But now your name's all over the street

You used to charge it by the hour
Now you own an apartment tower
It's a shame about your former friends
Everyone now is a means to an end

Never mind you're living alone
It's hard to get a scratch on the loving jones

So, momma, don't stop your rock and roll
You might just find your little lost soul
Momma, don't stop your rock and roll
All night long

It's so hard to be a woman today
To get what you deserve
It's not easy when you walking this way
You have to keep a distant reserve

So, momma, don't stop your rock and roll
You might just find your heart has gone cold
Momma, don't stop your rock and roll
All day long

Momma, don't stop your rock and roll
You might just find your little lost soul
Momma, don't stop your rock and roll
All night long

Tell me which way the wind blows
And of the song it sings
Tell me where did the time go
And for who the bells ring

Baby, days are so empty now
No promises, no pain
I guess I, I guess I realised
I overstayed my day

And I wonder now as I write this down
How it's going to sound when I'm old
Did I learn to fly? Did I reach the sky?
Am I going underground?

But I know, I know
I can tell you, pretty darling, what it means to be alone
And I know, I know
I can tell you, little darling, it's no good to be alone

Sometimes as the rain comes down
I feel it wash away my fears
And sometimes as the rain comes down
It's another veil of tears

And I wonder if I missed a turn
On the long and winding road
Did I lose my eyes? Did my radar die?
Is it time to crash and burn?

But I know, I know
I can tell you without lying, I don't want to be alone
And I know, I know
I know the sky is crying and I don't want to be alone

And if I find you out there in the streets
Will you know me the moment our eyes meet?
Will you find me? Will I know you?

And I wonder if I missed a turn
On the long and winding road
Did I lose my eyes? Did my radar die?
Is it time to crash and burn?

But I know, I know
I can tell you, pretty darling, I don't want to be alone
And I know, I know
I know the sky is crying and I don't want to be alone

Grew up on promises tomorrow will be all right
Held on to my defences in fear of the night
Covered my worried head as she turned out the light
And just as tomorrow comes again comes the night

The only comfort I received
All you can do is let it be

It's going to be all right
It's going to be all right
We'll make it through the night
It's going to be all right

Took on an education I learnt to compete
It don't take no qualification to sleep in the street
There's not much humanity in this kind of race
How civil is competition, a foot on a face?

And at the time I still believed
A little more juice and I'll be free

It's going to be all right
It's going to be all right
We'll make it through the night
It's going to be all right
All right

Now as I take your hand show you the stars
Try to explain to you who we are
With so little expectation in this manner of life
All of the complication the fear in the night

Will you be able to believe
There will be love eventually

It's going to be all right
It's going to be all right
We'll make it through the night
It's going to be all right

Adrift out on an open sea
A life raft seeking company
Sailing on a sea insane
Rolling with the waves of pain

Chance determines destiny
The tide can be the enemy
When the moon is shining bright
It hangs there like a beacon light

You're looking for a place to stay
A place to leave another day
Water leaves no trace behind
Of all the ways your life unwinds

So sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away

As you come you come alone
All you are is what you know
Dependent on your memory
Remember who you used to be

Reason is a raging wind
Beating on your weathered skin
Confusion in the tidal flow
Pulls you like an undertow

Adrift out on a sea of tears
Navigating by your fears
Searching in the stars above
A way to find your isles of love

So sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away

A sea of faces flow by me
Islands of identity
Isolated constantly
No one's where he ought to be

So sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away

My heart is empty like cold open ground
Where ghosts and memories follow you around
Replacing old friends no more to be found
All gone their ways with the new stars in town
All of their laughter has drifted away

Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone, gone with the wind

There's no sign of the lover who pins butterflies
No sign of fair weather no sweet sounding lies
Now I'm a stranger my eyes are set free
Like a man on a mountain how I can see
All of the ways illusions deceive
In a city of prayers where no one believes
When all of your dreams have scattered away

Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone with the wind like yesterday's song
Gone, gone with the wind

Well I used to work the graveyard
Used to have to paint the stones
Now I clean the farmyard
Have to lick it clean alone
I got a wife and kid
Sharing an Econoline
We keep the sucker hid
Underneath the Hollywood sign

You know I do all right
Oh yeah and it's okay
I'd like to kill the light
I'd love to sleep all day

Living in a dream, living in the USA
Living in a dream, living in the USA

Then I used to have a penthouse
Used to have a wife like you
Now I keep the door locked
Her attorney's trying to break in too
Wveryone's aboard
It's quite the social set
And they leave me polaroids
Of everyone I never met

You know they do all right
It's the all American way
They like to stay all night
They love to drink all day

Living in a dream, living in the USA
Living in a dream, living in the USA

Purple mountain majesty
Crumble into the sea
Spirit of the spacious skies
Shine your grace on me

Living in a dream, living in the USA
Living in a dream, living in the USA
Living in a dream, living in the USA
I'm living in a dream, living in the US of A

If I ever saw a good thing, baby, it's you
If I ever had a sweet dream, baby, it's you
There ain't nothing else I want to do
But spend my time loving you
If I ever saw a good thing, baby, it's you

They say that one time in your life you'll find the one
Who'll stand beside you no matter where you go
And I know that must be true
'Cause, baby, I found you
If I ever had a good thing, baby, it's you

You know that everybody needs someone to love
'Cause it's a lonesome soul who walks alone
But I don't know what I'd do
Baby, if I didn't have you
'Cause it's a long and lonesome road to walk alone

If I ever saw a good thing, baby, it's you
If I ever had a sweet dream, baby, it's you
