Over My Shoulder (Live at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, 2017) - Paul Carrack

We came so close Like we brushed our hands in the dark As we flew by each other And through the years Even though you felt so far I don't think I recovered I tried to ignore you Now I'm left searching for you I'm holding onto the light of day Cause without you, the night's growing colder I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder I'm tired of thinking about the way If I tried, maybe I might've known you I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder Now and then when I Make my way back home I swear I see you But city streets always Make you feel alone They hide the things they need to I tried to ignore you Now I'm left searching for you I tried to ignore you Now I'm left searching for you I'm holding onto the light of day Cause without you, the night's growing colder I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder I'm tired of thinking about the way If I tried, maybe I might've known you I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder You were always hard to ignore But someone always came round before

I'm good and ready Ready as I'll ever be You know I made it through Like I always do Now I'm back but you can't see They call me a sole survivor Now they're gonna set me free You know it took my time Now I'm feeling fine Better than I've ever been, oh I'm good and ready I found a new remedy I felt beaten out of favor Never let it bother me Kept my head above the water And now I'm sitting at the top of the tree You know it hurt my pride Now I'm justified Ready for anything Ready as I'll ever be I'm ready as I'll ever be I'm good and ready Baby, that's the mood I'm in So though you can't have me I can take it on a chip I been rolling with the the fortunes Now I'm itching to get back in the ring You know I'm falling to fight And the time is right I'm ready for anything I'm ready as I'll ever be, oh yeah Yes, I'm ready as I'll ever be You know I took my time Now I'm feeling fine Ready for anything I'm good and ready Baby, that's the mood I'm in I'm good and ready Better than I've ever been I'm good and ready Found a good remedy Took some time, now I'm feeling fine Ready for anything

Hey! When love is blind There ain't a thing you can do Cold taste, no doubt in your mind Every word she says was true Well, you can search the whole world over She ain't ever coming back to you When love is blind It's so easy to believe Every embrace that you share Is in vain upon your memory Well, you can search the whole world over A troubled mind will never set you free When love is blind It's touch and go How it all works out, you'll never know You took a chance, made your bed Now it seems there's a whole lot of trouble ahead Love is blind Love is blind When love is blind You're feeling good and walking tall Whoa, if your head in the clouds You'll never stop to think at all It's just a shame that nobody told you Pride always comes before the fall When love is blind You just won't see It feels so good And it feels so free We're flying high Then it crash and burn Whoa, it's rule number one And the lesson you've learned When love is blind It there ain't a thing you can't control You've got it all figured out One day, it's gonna take its toll It's gonna take sometimes to get over You even make it back at all When love is blind Love is blind When love is blind Love is blind Love is blind
