"Paris Without You (St. Vincent's Court)"

"Paris Without You (St. Vincent's Court)"


We always said we'd hire a plane
That only flies at night
And we'd stay up forever
Just watching the lights
From deck chairs on a steamer
That only sails in summer
We'd chase the sun around the moon
No captain at the rudder

We'd go to Paris
The perfect time of year
We'd go all around the world
We'd go everywhere
But first we'd go to Paris
'cause I've always wanted to
And I just can't imagine
Walking Paris without you

A train that's on a one-way track
Winding through the Alps
Christmas in a parlor car
With no one else
Hire a car that only knows
A country road in England
Time will fly
We'll drive on by

Broken dreams a broken heart
And plans that never made it
All turn into fantasies

Each night I go to Paris
And hope that you'll be there
I go all around the world
I go everywhere
But first I go to Paris
'cause I always wanted to
And I just can't imagine
Walking Paris without you

"Piece Of The Sky"

"Piece Of The Sky"


Always running for some jet
Rumours keep you hard to get
How far will they let you go
Once they know who's in control
Don't like closing the factory
Don't like to break up the family

You can't say you're easy to please
You can take on plenty of heat
It all gets down to living the life
Going for a piece of the sky
Going for a piece of the sky

Making headlines you don't choose
Cruising through the morning news
It's all right there in white and black
But heroes die behind you back
Can't stay put not you can't be tamed
How could the fence up the open plains

You can't say you're easy to please
You can take on plenty of heat
It all gets down to living the life
Going for a piece of the sky
Going for a piece of the sky

Hold me don't let me go
Stroll me baby coast to coast
Shelter by the desert night
Heartbeat take us out of sight

"River Of Memories"

"River Of Memories"


Ah everybody trying to use a piece of the heart
But we strain the thread and it tears apart
So many people trying and they just can't stop
Living for tomorrow, trying to beat the clock

And the trying to change the cycle going round and round
But the ink's run dry and the book ain't bound
You say, give me some direction 'cause I lost my way
But they don't make maps for the world we made

Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Now I'm running circles just to catch a view
But it seemed like love that's the way with you
So many people trying, they just can't see
That a captured heart doesn't want to be free

Maybe we can find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Living on memories
Living on memories

"Rough Edges"

"Rough Edges"


We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show
So scared
We forget to say
All the words when
We need them most

Rough edges take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you

Sometimes people change
And sometimes
I don't know you
It runs by
We stumble through
Round and round
'Cause we know our

Rough edges take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you

Rough edges just take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding on
And I still want you
And I still want you

We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show

"Sailin'"

"Sailin'"


Sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
Sailin'
Out of my dreams
And into the night
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'

I've been all over the ocean
I've traveled through a million years
Every face I see
Brings it home to me
That I all ever loved is here

Now won't you take me sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
You've got to take me sailin'
Right out of my dreams
And into the night
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'

If they drew a line
Through space and time
That defied my breaking through
It could not control me
No nothin' could hold me
As long as there was you

Now won't you take me sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
You've got to take me sailin'
Right out of my dreams
And into the night
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'

"Say You Don't Know Me"

"Say You Don't Know Me"


When I pass you on the street
And I wanna yell come back
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I'm standin' next to ya'
In a crowded room
And I wanna yell come back
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me

When I call your name out loud in a dream
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I look you in the eye
Cause eyes never lie
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me

When I talk too much about you
And they look for my reaction
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I try too hard to hide it
I look quick for some distraction
Cause I can't let it show on me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
Say you don't know me

"Skeptical Shuffle"

"Skeptical Shuffle"


I'm skeptical of banana trees
Cause they sway too much in the tropic breeze
I'm skeptical that the world is round
What keeps it up and what keeps me down
I'm skeptical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you

Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you

I'm skeptical of the aeroplane
If it can fly so high why can't a train
I'm skeptical of the lion's roar
Is he looking for lunch or is he just bored
I'm septical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you

Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you

I'm skeptical of all that's gold
I'm skeptical of growin' old
I'm skeptical of the moon above
But I'm not skeptical about love
I'm skeptical of one thing more
Than I was skeptical of the day before

Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you

"Somewhere In The Night"

"Somewhere In The Night"


Time you found time enough to love
I found love enough to hold you tonight
I'll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you

Laying beside you
Lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
Come with me

Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You're my song
Music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again

Loving so warm
Moving so right
Closing our eyes
And feeling the light
We'll just go on
Burning bright
Somewhere in the night

You'll sleep when the morning comes
And I'll lie and watch you sleeping
And you'll smile
When you dream about the night
Like it's a secret you've been keeping

Laying beside you
Lost in a feeling
So glad you opened my door
Come with me

Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You're my song
Music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again

Loving so warm
Moving so right
Closing our eyes
And feeling the light
We'll just go on
Burning bright
Somewhere in the night

"Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness"

"Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness"


You come home late
And you come home early
You come on big
When you're feeling small
And you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run

Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and jealous mind
Well how can a love
That will last forever
Get left so far behind

So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run

It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
That crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't go one word to say

So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run

You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run

"Stay Away"

"Stay Away"


Stay away leave me alone
Say away from my door
'cause' you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before
Don't want no excuses
I don't want no more lies
I don't like crying
So I keep it inside
Do me a favor for God's sake please
Say away

Stay away out of my dreams
Stay away from my nights
You're there in the darkness
So I leave on the nights
Well I don't want no wiskey
'cause is heightens the pain
Make me call you at midnight
And beg you come back again
Do me a favor for God's sake please
Stay away

'cause time is to short
To waste it on regrets
They say it heals a broken heart
That's waiting to forget

Stay away leave me alone
Say away from my door
'cause' you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before
But if you should need me
Well it might be alright
I suppose you could call me up some lonely night
But do me a favor for God's sake please
Stay away
