His hope is fading and he doesn't know why The gentle way you look at me when we kiss goodnight Too high or too low, there ain't no in-betweens It's hard to say what it is I see in you We speak not of love, only blasphemy When the car broke down they started walking I'm only hearing negative, no, no, no, no A new recreation to channel on this energy Gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feeling in the dark Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache If there is a mountain to move I will move that mountain for you From the back to the middle and around again She needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever Conversations, hesitations in my mind Cool kids never have the time Is it my turn to wish you were lying here I ain't one to commit, you can omit that bit Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand I'm walking down your street again Friends and enemies surround me every day You're giving me ecstasy, you are my fantasy I wanna believe in everything that you say A plane takes off from Baltimore and touches down on Bourbon Street Don't cut my life-line So get your next of kin, your sister and your friend He brought the woman into me, so many times easily Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far At this point the situation is out of control Can't you see I'm in misery and you know for sure Maybe this year will be better than the last You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress I wanna ride it all night long Who's that loungin' in my chair? So what is right, and what is wrong, give me a sign Like a game show contestant with a parting gift You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be I'll cover you with a love so deep and warm and true Whispers at the bus-stop If I never hear 'I love you' now and then I know you've got potential, so baby let me in But your love made me a prisoner, yeah my heart's been doin' time Beware of what is flashing in her eyes So tell me what you want, what you really, really want Just close your eyes and I'll take you there It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you I'll get over you, I know I will Knight in shining armor I will be your fairy tale Here's a little story about life One step to the rhythm that divides you Doctors have come from distant cities Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me A perfect body with a perfect face Tell me why ain't nothin' but a heartache All I can say is that my life is pretty plain He had his own room and helped pay the bills So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways Give me a word, give me a sign Walk away if you want to Like a clown I put on a show But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night I held on to my faith, I struggled and I prayed How can we make love if we can't make amends Said I don't want to leave you lonely I will never find another lover sweeter than you Not like we have a date with destiny The more you talk the more things sound the same Take me to the magic of the moment We both know that I shouldn't be here Where will the people go without enough to eat? I will be sure that the lady's just like you I like a good beer buzz early in the morning Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill, another cute cheap thrill She said it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat Over mountains, over trees, over oceans, over seas What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb Your job's a joke, you're broke Though you're far away, I am here to stay Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite It's been a long time since you left me If God had a name what would it be Deep inside I hope you feel it too This Romeo is bleeding but you can't see his blood Whatever it is that you do when you do what you do to me I only came for two days of playin' A circle can't fit where a square should be Destination unknown as we pull in for some gas There's nothing on Earth that should keep us apart Oh mama, please help me, won't you hold my hand I tell her I ain't so sure about this place Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again I've been around the world, from London to the bay The years start coming and they don't stop coming Pour the wine, light the fire, girl your wish is my command Even when you're talking nasty to me over the telephone You don't have to go home but you can't stay here I talk, talk, I talk to you He sings the songs that remind him of the good times You'll say the world has come between us
