Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Say's "I can't be without her"
Tonight he's going to be without her
"It's late now", she say's
Makes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston
When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
I'll be there waiting for you
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
Standing like your soldiers
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
I will wait for you
Through the lies and all
She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him this she prays
It would make her feel so much better
. . .

I met a girl just the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
Then she told me something that made me sick
Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
. . .

take a little bit of everything baby
I'll be all right
don't just settle for living the lie
that I thought you might
put on your disguise
let me see that you're bigger than me
tell me that tomorrow
I'll wake and yearn for you
And when I call your name out
You leave and take a bow
You say what do want from
Call off the service now baby
No one really knew
That I would have to leave
But now I'm a better man
I thought you realized
I wanted you but
You left so suddenly
I know I promised but now I lied
And when I kiss you someday
If you feel that your aloud
You say "what do you want from me now"
Burn all your candles
Turn out the light
Forget the feeling you've been feeling
Deep inside of me we'll be alright
Now it's the morning after
And I'm doing what you said
No one answers
So I cope cause you are gone
Oh I just wanted you baby
But I have to deal cause
My heart isn't big enough
To love you even if I please
And if I need you someday
You will not make a sound
Just think what do you want from me now

Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs
There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there
Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again
Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name
A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do
Don't go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
Don't go now, desert flower
Cause you just won't bloom
And your memories made need more room
See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone
And on my phonograph
Will she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me
A chance to make things right for her
And make my life seem true
I'm begging Do
CHORUS
I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
And there are shades of red dancing in view
Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer I will be a fool
A chance to make things right for her
Make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do
. . .

It's almost like
We came back wet
Back from the dead
And I'm thinking of you
We traveled long
We traveled hard
To long to bear
Hard just to come through
And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do
My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true
I stumbled long
And I fell hard
We loved so strong
For all that we knew
Please hear me now
And hold your anger somehow
But why must it be me
My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing that I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
When the end is all I see
And when I wake
I sing your song
Somewhere you stir
Cause your wanting me too
Don't listen to
The others answers
. . .

Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for Christmas
Could you stop to see me smile
I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard
Oh I see you in the corner of
Life's grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again
Let's all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please don't let me be
Tonight just may be our last
The bell rings to tell me
You're here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night
And I can't believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon
Hold me tightly
Like never before
You've come to say your alive
CHORUS
The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I don't feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where
And I say it's our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
But I'll let go to have you again
CHORUS
. . .

Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you
Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself
Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me
And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay
What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine
I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high
All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me
CHORUS
Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us
Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me
Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play
CHORUS
. . .
|
|
You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothing left of you
Time seems to change
Thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute
I say that's life
You say it's alright
I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud
I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
I'm just so sick of my mind
It sees us like a light
Shining bright
In the middle
Don't you see us smiling now
You say that's life
I say it's alright
CHORUS
Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never call it home
But your bound to live bound to die in it
You say that's life
I say I'll still be here
. . .

Three
In my family say
"we've never been anywhere"
"to the left sea
can we go please
we don't care we want to
sit and stare at it"
can we try
to hold up our head
feel the power of the land that we trampled once
can we go
where you go
we know you always need us behind
it's me it's me
calling around looking for your reply
let me tell you where the story
can run to now
we came together
we will leave here one by one
let's go on and remember
where we've been
aunt Inez
from Virginia she
makes me feel like I could be president
of all I see
and all I dream
in these eyes that have held so much punishment
CHORUS
When she laughs
I hold up my head
She makes me feel like I could walk on water now
Can she go
Where I go
I know I'll always need her behind
CHORUS
. . .

Robinn' Robin in the tree
Won't you come down here and rescue me
Cause there's someplace else I gotta see
And you can stand in for me for awhile
Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child
Love is gone but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free
Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, "boy come and walk with me
There's someplace I've got to see"
So we strolled along the mountain high
She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
I'd see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing
Lessons learned but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free
I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream
. . .

At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away your misery
It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity
. . .

Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs
Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name
If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies
I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
'cause I'm
only lonely on the inside
didn't mean to take away your dreams
only lonely on the inside
when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts
I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do
If we should ever cross the same place at the same time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me
If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories
I believe that I could be the one your needing
And I'm
CHORUS
If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world
But there's so many things trying to pull us together
Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away
Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes do you see me
(in your deepest thoughts do you see me)
