"There Is Someone Else"

"There Is Someone Else"

I might be late tonight
But I guess everything is alright
I know it aint like me
But there's something you see
That I just can't put right
Maybe a dream last night
That I can't understand

For all I know I love you so
Somethings got a hold of me
And I've got to make you see
That things aren't the same

Could be that yesterday
As I was walking on my way
Some face out of my past
Just happened to cast a shadow on me
Oh that made me see
That I've been all wrong

You know I could have sworn
It was someone I loved before
Someone I used to linger on
Something I just couldn't put my finger on
Just a face and a memory
That stood between you and me

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh baby
Oooh child I've got to tell you now
That there is someone else in my life

Got to make you know that
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh baby baby baby
Oh child oh little girl
There is someone else in my life
And its breaking my heart

Its mighty late tonight
But I feel I gotta get it right
This face I've been dreaming of
Well it is the face of a long lost love
And as I look into your eyes
Suddenly I realize
That that someone else is you
Oh I've been such a fool baby
Baby baby baby baby

Oh child got to make you know
That you're the someone else in my life
And I've been such a lonely man
But now I've found my baby
Oh Oh and I wanna make you know girl
That I've finally found someone else
That someone is you
Ohhhhhh

"There's A Storm A Comin'"

"There's A Storm A Comin'"

There's a storm comin'
You'd better run
There's a storm coming
Goodbye to the sun
There's a storm comin'
You'd better
Run boy run,
You'd better run

There's a ship that's sailing
Out in the night
There's a heart that's breaking
I think it's mine
There's a storm comin'
You'd better
Run boy run,
You'd better run

Every little part of you
Is merry gotta molecules
Every little thing you do
So sad, in the end
Oh in the end

There's a ship that's sailing
Out in the night
There's a heart that's breaking
I think it's mine
There's a storm comin'
You'd better
Run boy run,
You'd better run

"This Time The Dream's On Me"

"This Time The Dream's On Me"

Somewhere... someday
We'll be close together wait and see
Oh by the way
This time the dream's on me

You'll take my hand
And you'll look at me adoringly
But as things stand
This time the dream's on me

It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I at least
Supply the shoulder you cry upon

To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true
But this time the dream's on me

[Bridge]

It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I at least
Supply the shoulder you cry upon

To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true
But this time the dream's on me
This time the dream's on me

"Time"

"Time"

Somebody ought to have told me
Told me you couldn't be true
Somebody ought to have told me now
But that wouldn't be like you

No ones got to tell me
After all you put me through
You dropped me like a habit
Of which you had a few

Your scent is on the glass tonight
Swirling in the wine
Scrambling the back of my brain
The irony sublime

It's warm bouquet and pungent flame
Light this ancient street
The avenue of no name
I fall into its beat

Nobody loved like you

Time won't you let me be
After all that we've been through
I talk to myself cause I aint got nobody else
Nobody else but you

I've walked for miles
I've walked a long time
To get to the place that I've got to.. yeah
There's nothing left and nobody.. nobody
Nobody left but you

Time please set me free
Why couldn't you be true
I walk that walk.. yeah
I talk that talk
But there's nobody left but you.. you

Time won't you let me be
After all that we've been through
I talk to myself cause I aint got nobody else
Nobody left but you.. you

"Tomorrow Never Came"

"Tomorrow Never Came"

Lazy days
Cafe afternoons
Evening plays
Chasing the silver moon
Perfume and a promise
It will happen soon
Wait and see
The clock will strike the hour
And you will come to me
It will happen soon
Happen soon

Endless nights
Dreaming of the day
The boat along the side
Sails to carry us away
Islands on the river
It could happen soon
I heard them say
It could happen soon
But just like yesterday
The ships have come and gone
And we were not along

Oh
Tomorrow never came
I've been here dark till dawn
And still end up the same
I've seen them all
Seen them through
Can I ever see the end of you

Anyway
Darling what's the use
Oh some things never change
The perfume and the promise
Merely rearranged
To look like new
The clock upon the tower
Still chiming like the fool
It could happen soon
Could happen soon

Oh
Tomorrow never came
I've been here dark till dawn
And still end up the same
I've seen them all
Seen them through
Can I ever see the end of you

Tomorrow never came
I've been here dark till dawn
And still end up the same
I've seen them all
Seen them through
Can I ever see the end of you

"Up To You"

"Up To You"

Got your midnight invitation
Wrote it different from before
Somehow I just don't get excited like I used to
Just to stand before your door

Even though you broke my dreams
And destroyed my will to give
I cannot wait I won't refuse
I'll not forget but I'll forgive

Put it back the way it was
Put it back that way because
You have broke a faithful heart
And you've torn it all apart
You let me down
When it was up to you

Once you gave me sunny mornings
We were happy then that way
You were warm and sweet and loving
I wanted nothing but to stay

Now I ain't coming back forever
But I'm coming back for more
Keep your grieving invitations
Go on eat your heart outside your door

Put it back the way it was
Put it back that way because
You have broke a faithful heart
And you've torn it all apart
You let me down
When it was up to you

Put it back the way it was
Put it back that way because
You have broke a faithful heart
And you've torn it all apart
You let me down
When it was up to you

Oh you let me down
Oh and its up to you
Oh I'm feeling down
Oh and its up to you

"Vanishing Point"

"Vanishing Point"

I met him first out at the edge of nowhere
A last chance oasis on the plains
The sky was threatening as he came up to me
Said could you help me beat the rain

Where does it take you this road you travel
He smiled the same place as yourself
To that point out there where all roads vanish
Going to Vegas man where else

Play it straight and play it true my brother
Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there

I was just another deadbeat loser there the last time
I couldn't even read the signs
But I've got this feeling and there's magic in the cards now
I'm going back to take what's mine

Play it straight and play it true my brother
Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there

What damned illusion in that neon lightning
A run of luck is in the air
Shining brighter than any flush of diamonds
A magic carpet of despair

Play it straight and play it true my brother
Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there

Play it straight and play it true my brother
Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there

"Waiting For A Train"

"Waiting For A Train"

All around the water tank
Waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman
To give him a line of talk
He says if you've got the money
I'll see that you don't walk

I haven't got a nickel
Not a penny can I show
Get off.. get off you railroad bum
He slammed the boxcar door

Yodel ay-eee ay-eee yodel ay-eee

He put me off in Texas
A State I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above

Nobody seems to want me
Or lend me a helping hand
I'm on my way from 'Frisco
I'm goin' to Dixieland

Though my pocketbook is empty
And my heart is full of pain
I'm a thousand miles away from home
Just waiting for a train

Yodel-ay-eee ay-eee yodel-ay-eee

"We Been Away"

"We Been Away"

We grew tired of the water
We grew sleepy from the heat of the day
You broke your promises you said that we'd have fun
And all the rest you sent me here to stay

We been away
We been away
We been away yeah yeah
We been away

We're painted silly all red and black
She poured the whiskey down the sink
Caught our father cryin' now
We've chased him up the wall
It never even bothered us to think

We been away
We been away yeah
We been away yeah yeah
We been away

We been away
We been away
We been away yeah yeah
We been away

There's been hangin' in the kitchen
There's been talkin' 'bout things not to say
Goin' home now but that's no excuse
For anyone out there to want to stay

We been away
We been away
We been away yeah yeah
We been away

We been away
We been away
We been away yeah yeah
We been away
