"Reminiscing"

"Reminiscing"


Friday night, it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?

How to tell you, girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand
I'm talking about a lifetime plan

That's the way it began
We were hand-in-hand
Glenn Miller's band
Was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more

And the Porter tune (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home
I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing

Friday night, it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?

Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing

"Sanity's Side"

"Sanity's Side"


You suddenly find you're standing
Looking over the edge of time
You can't remember handling
Situations and nursery rhymes
Carry me gently 'cross the water
Find me a place where I can hide
Blow me breezes never faulter
Lead me back to sanity's side
Lead me back to sanity's side

I've been a few places darling
Experimented and looked around
It's time I was returning
Get my feet back on solid ground
Carry me gently 'cross the water
Find me a place where I can hide
Blow me breezes never faulter
Lead me back to sanity's side
Lead me back to sanity's side

Out so far I never thought that I would get back
Nearly touched a star
I burnt my fingers tryin' to hold it
It's impossible I should have known it

You suddenly find you're standing
Looking over the edge of time
You can't remember handling
Situations and nursery rhymes
Carry me gently 'cross the water
Find me a place where I can hide
Blow me breezes never never faulter
Lead me back to sanity's side
Oh lead me back to sanity's side
I wanna go back to sanity's side

"Second Wind"

"Second Wind"


And I'm starting to feel much better again,
I'm starting to get my second wind.
I owe you, there's no mistakin',
You did the givin', I did the takin',
You hung around, you made a difference,
I should've known that you, you'd go the distance.

Hey baby, I was so alone,
Like a dog without a bone,
And a heart turned to stone,
Couldn't come back on my own, but ...

I'm startin' to feel much better again,
I'm startin' to get my second wind, oh yeah,
And I'm not gonna worry what might have been,
I'm startin' to get my second wind, oh yeah.

It's about time, it's all behind me,
Thought I could hide and the past wouldn't find me,
I'm paid up, the worst is over,
A little bit wiser, a little bit older.
Ooh baby, we're almost home,
I was lost but I was never alone,
Just a few more miles to go,
One look at me and you got to know.

I'm startin' to feel much better again,
I'm startin' to get my second wind, oh yeah,
And I'm not gonna worry what might have been,
I'm startin' to get my second wind, oh yeah.
My second wind, I'm starting to get my second wind,
I'm starting, I'm gonna get my, I'm gonna get my second wind,
I'm starting, I'm gonna get my, I'm gonna get my second wind.

Hey baby, we're almost home,
I was lost but I was never alone,
Just a few more miles to go, one look at me and you got to know, that ...

I'm startin' to feel much better again,
I'm startin' to get my second wind, oh yeah,
And I'm not gonna worry what might have been,
I'm startin' to get my second wind, oh yeah.
And I'm startin' to get it together again,
I'm starting to get my second wind, oh yeah,
Feel like I'm ready to begin, I'm startin' to get my second wind.

"Seine City"

"Seine City"


The weather is clearing, birds are appearing,
And I'm only three miles from Dover,
To the wind and the ocean, I'm throwing caution,
Oh, I can't wait to get back over.

After two 'Beaujeaulais' everybody is laughing,
It's better than smoking and its two times as healthy,
My pockets are empty but I'm feeling wealthy,

I've got to get back to the Seine City,
I've got to get back where the girls are so pretty,
I've got to get back to the Seine City,
I've got to get back to those eyes.

The last time I was there, she wore her gold hair,
Tied at the back in a pigtail,
I wonder if she still cares, or even if she's still there,
Oh, I don't want to go into details.

Well, the street that she lived in was called [?]
I hope I can find it without asking directions,
I'm so glad I made my own French connection.

I'd like to live in the Seine City,
I'd like to live where the girls are so pretty,
I'd like to live in the Seine City,
I've got to get back to those eyes.

After two 'Beaujolaises' everybody is laughing,
It's better than smoking and its two times as healthy,
My pockets are empty but I'm feeling wealthy,

I've got to get back to the Seine City,
I've got to get back where the girls are so pretty,
I've got to get back to the Seine City,
I've got to get back to those eyes.

"Shadow In The Rain"

"Shadow In The Rain"


Sometimes I feel like a shadow in the rain,
When life deals a wild card I just can't explain,
And when can I go to be myself again?
And stop from wanting you, needing you...

A shadow in the rain, two hearts that went wrong,
A face without a name, like love that lingers on,
I need you more that life, so I hafta break the chain,
But right now I'm just a shadow in the rain.

Sometimes I think I know the way you feel,
But some days I know you hide a heart of steel,
Oh where can I go to jump right off this wheel?

And stop from wanting you, needing you ...

A shadow in the rain, two hearts that went wrong,
A face without a name, like love that lingers on,
I need you more that life, so I hafta break the chain,
But right now I'm just a shadow in the rain.

Fading from view,
I am almost out, still missing you,
So I hide my tears, what more can I do?
'til the last train.

Sometimes I feel like a shadow in the rain,
Caught up with you, inside a hurricane,
Oh how can I find the strength to fight again?
Go on without you, just leave you.

A shadow in the rain, two hearts that went wrong,
A face without a name, like love that lingers on,
I need you more that life, so I hafta break the chain,
But right now I'm just a shadow in the rain.

"Shut Down, Turn Off"

"Shut Down, Turn Off"


Turn off all life support systems
I'm finished for the day
I'm on the midnight flyer
And I've really got to get away

Shut down all your main engines
I'm going on reserve
There are things still undiscovered
Oh, I hope I've got the nerve

Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
I wish I could remember where I've been

I wanna talk to the pilot
He's in charge of my dreams
But he insists on vanishing
Just as soon as he thinks he's been seen

I wanna recharge my batteries
Leave me alone for awhile
We'll set off again in the morning
On a wing and a prayer and a smile

Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
I wish I could remember where I've been

Where have I been

Shut down, turn off until the morning light
Slow down, splash down, time to end the flight
Make way dream time, here comes another night
Oh, I wish I could remember where I've been, oh

Shut down turn off until the morning light
Make way dream time, here comes another night, oh, oh

"Sleepless Nights"

"Sleepless Nights"


I lie in bed and I just can't sleep,
My mind's outside chasin' the beat,
Thinkin' of you and of what went wrong,
I wonder how I can carry on with these sleepless nights,
Oh sleepless nights, I'm havin' sleepless nights over you.

I toss and turn cos' we're getting nowhere,
The fire burns but there's nobody there,
I need direction, need to find a way,
I'm so tired of just sleeping my days away, because of sleepless nights,
Oh sleepless nights, I'm having sleepless nights over you, just can't get over you.

I'm up all night watching my TV,
I see the dawn with the late movie,
I'm runnin' scared and I just can't find,
A way to ease you off my mind, can't stop these sleepless nights,
Since you left me baby, sleepless nights,

I'm havin' sleepless nights over you.
You know you got me cryin' baby, sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights, woah sleepless nights, sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights, sleepless nights, sleepless nights.

"So Many Paths"

"So Many Paths"


The atmosphere is electric
And the minds are on the move
They all know where they're going
But no one is too sure

I've heard a lot of talking
I've nearly drowned in their words
And my heart is full of answers
Just as the sky is full of birds

There are so many paths up the mountain
Nobody knows all the ways
There are so many paths up the mountain
And the view from the top is still the same

If you should stumble and fall down
People don't know what to do
Pretend that they didn't notice
They'll sidestep, walk around you

Don't let it be your worry
No, no don't let it get you concerned
You've got to move on in your own direction
Forget what you've ever learned

There are so many paths up the mountain
Nobody knows all the ways
There are so many paths up the mountain
And the view from the top is still the same

Angry voices from the shadows
In the valley the sun don't shine
Make your mind up which way you're going
There are, oh, so many paths

There are so many paths up the mountain
Nobody knows all the ways
There are so many paths up the mountain
And the view from the top is still the same

Mmm yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Is still the same
The view from the top is still the same
Wherever you look, it's still the same
Still the same
Still the same

"Someone"

"Someone"


Wanting her came easy for you
But she had designs on someone else
Back where you started with a wounded soul
And the same old thing you keep asking yourself

Is she thinking of me?
Someone who loves me
What are the reasons
For being alone?
All I need is someone to believe in
Send me somebody
Who needs someone

Now missing her has consumed you
She walks around in your mind constantly
Deep down you know she did what she had to do
But that still don't make it easy
Now you wonder

Is she thinking of me?
Someone who loves me
What are the reasons
For being alone?
All I need is someone to believe in
Send me somebody
Who needs someone

Infatuation, you were blinded by the sun
But in this situation she's only who she becomes
She could be anyone

Is she thinking of me?
Someone who loves me
What are the reasons
For being alone?
All I need is someone to believe in
Send me somebody
Who needs someone

All I need is someone to believe in
Send me somebody
Who needs someone

Someone who needs me
Someone to believe in
Somebody
