I've heard it said, people's souls chase the night Hopin' the times that went before when their hearts were flying No, don't you be blue when you hear the wild birds call So hold on love 'cause I'll never let you fall Here comes a man who'll give you all the love he can Far from the rain where you'll never feel the pain Don't cry, we'll come alive Oh, if you'll wait for me Out of my head a vision flows bathed in light Borne by the tide along the shore where the wind is sighing No, don't you be blue when you hear the music play So hold on love 'cause we're gonna sail away Here comes a man who'll give you all the love he can Far from the rain where you'll never feel the pain Don't cry, we'll come alive Oh, if you'll wait for me I've been coming to set you free 'cause your love belongs to me I'm going to make you mine 'til the end of time Hoping to get through and that the hailstones don't fall So hold on, love, like you never did before Here comes a man who'll give you all the love he can Far from the rain where you'll never feel the pain Don't cry, we'll come alive Oh, if you'll wait for me, wait for me Oh wait for me, me Here comes a man, man Here comes a man, man Here comes a man, man Here comes a man, man, man

Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst After a hard day of nothin' much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall And sometimes I just ain't in the mood To take my place in the back with the hard knocks Like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay in the house And everybody wants to be special here I call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today? Well, a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town Once the police made you go away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby, now I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway Everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear 'Cause here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one who feels ashamed? Kneeling alongside old Sad eyes, he says "Opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut" All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts First the lights, then the collar goes up and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall Here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one here today?

The heater's on The windows are thin I'm trying hard to keep this warmth in I turn to her, she's sound asleep Someplace I don't know Doesn't matter how far you've come You've always got further to go I tried to tell you, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss your quiet, quiet, quiet heart Two hours on My eyes are open There's bad blood between us And what did I say that made you cry? Our dream won't die Doesn't matter how far you come You've always got further to go I tried to tell you, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss your quiet, quiet, quiet heart What is that light? That small red light Scorpio rising Doesn't matter how far you come You've always got further to go I tried to tell you, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss your heart I, I tried to tell her, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss her quiet, quiet, quiet heart

A white moon appears Like a hole in the sky, The mangroves go quiet. In la Brisa de la Palma A teenage Rasputin Takes the sting from a gin, "When a woman learns to walk She's not dependent anymore A line front her letter May 24 And out on the bay The current is strong A boat can go lost. But I didn't know someone Could be so lonesome Didn't know a heart Could be tied up And held for ransom. Until you take your shoes And go outside, stride over stride. Walk to that tide because The door is open wide. Turned the fan off And went for a walk By the lights down on Shield Street. The birds in the trees Open their wings ... He goes home again. He dreams resistance, They talk commitment, Things change over long distance. Took the shirt off his back The eyes from his head And left him for dead. But I didn't know someone Could be so lonesome Didn't know a heart Could be tied up And held for ransom. Until you take your shoes And go outside, stride over stride, Walk to that tide because The door is open wide. Little lies, they'll take your pride. Until you take your shoes And go outside. stride over stride, Walk to that tide because The door is open wide. Stride over stride Walk to that tide. Bye, Bye Pride. Because the door is open wide. The door is always open wide. The door is always open wide.

A trader in furs living in exile Boy, what a kook, look at that passport Stale bread and paper without privilege If you live here learn the language When the rain hit the roof With the sound of a finished kiss Like a lip lifted from a lip I took the wrong road 'round A room in a lighthouse near the park The ghosts in the next room hear you cough Time drags on Sundays spent in Mayfair With all your riches, why aren't you there? Well, the wind acts like a magnet And pulls the leaf from the tree And the town's lost its breath I took the wrong road 'round Handsome is good, pretty is better What was that phrase, grace under pressure? Blind by the light bulb, blood to the bank Lost all yours letters when the ship sank In the disjointed breaking light The soft blue approach of the water Makes a sound you won't forget I took the wrong road 'round Stranded at low-tide where the river bends Wouldn't you know it? That's how life ends Lucky at cards, that's an old lie Lucky in love, that's how life ends Well, the turncoats turned around When they heard the sound of the bell Dropped their coins into the well I took the wrong road 'round Started out Oliver, ended up Fagin Don't you worry, it's my problem What's my name, what's my number? I'm the lonely one It's just at the end of the day When the light makes its slow move away That I know all I can say is I took the wrong road 'round Gambled with risk, paid you back with risk So now you know who your friends are They'll steel your shadow when your back's turned Bouquets of flowers, lesson's over When the rain hit the roof With the sound of a finished kiss Like a lip lifted from a lip And I took the wrong road 'round

I'd never met her type she ignored me and that's alright Never to be friends or my body lie on her floor Her father works Her mother works in exports But that's of no importance at all I don't mind I don't mind To chase her A fools dream I'm 104 degrees With a Head Full of Steam All waitings up I'm on that team That says go forward With a Head Full of Steam She plays hard to get along with But she might drop by She never had a nickname But then nor have I I don't mind I don't mind To chase her A fools dream I'm 104 degrees With a Head Full of Steam All waitings up I'm on that team That says go forward With a Head Full of Steam Steam Steam Oh, I just want to know I'd never met her type She locked the door and the key Opened the windows for the neighbours to see Her climb on my knee To chase her A fools dream I'm 104 degrees With a Head Full of Steam All waitings up I'm on that team That says go forward With a Head Full of Steam Go Forward Go forward now Go forward Go forward now

Dressed in a white shirt with my hair combed straight Here in my black shoes and me without a date Me without hindsight, me without When will change come, just like spring rain Falling down like sheets (Falling down like sheets) Coming down like love (Coming down like love) Falling at my feet (Falling just like) Spring rain Standing on the lawn with cousins and child brides Caught for the camera on their best sides Being caught forewarned their best sides When will change come just like spring rain Falling down like sheets (Falling down like sheets) Coming down like love (Coming down like love) Falling at my feet (Falling just like) Spring rain Driving my first car, my elbow's in the breeze With all these people that I never, never need These people are excited by their cars I want surprises just like spring rain Falling just like sheets (Falling just like sheets) Coming down so hard (Coming down so hard) Falling at my feet (Falling just like) Spring rain Coming down like love (Coming down like love) Falling here so smooth (Falling here so smooth) Falling in that groove (Falling just like) Spring rain Falling down like love (Falling, falling) Coming down so hard (Falling down) You hear it fall falling down Spring rain Falling just like love (Falling, falling) Falling down so hard (Falling down) You hear it fall falling down
