"Somewhere In The Night"

"Somewhere In The Night"



Somewhere in the night chasing shadows around the bend
Somewhere in the night chasing rainbows that have no end
In the misty night, you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night till I find you

In the misty light you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night, till I find you

"Songbird"

"Songbird"



Most everyone I know leaves New York on holidays
The Fourth of July
Is a little lonely here
And a little holy
Fireworks out on the river
And the boys all drinking beer
Sing hallelujah for the year
Hallelujah for the year
Hallelujah for the year

There's a songbird in my tree
I don't know where it leads
But I believe it sings it's song for me
And never sees the things I see
Oh and I can dream
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life

Hideaway
The freezing days
And when the sun returns
I will have learned to sing
Your haunting melody
You'll take the notes and harmonize me
And bring me back to hallelujah
For the rest of my life
Hallelujah

"Sons Of Summer"

"Sons Of Summer"



It makes me smile
To think of what we dreamed of

Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
Who could laugh the lights away
Nights on the beach and bay

The course on farms
And the course in the bar
Sweet smokin' in the back of the car
Always the first time shines to last like a morning star
Like a morning star

It's been a while since the last time we were dancing
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limber ladies who all knew how
To chase the blues away
I've got the blues today

Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways
Wine mug nights when the music played
Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star

Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
Your books won't hold you
The woods get cold
And I feel too old
I begin to question your schoolboy soul
Clever remarks that once won my heart
When the fire won't light they lose their spark
And I can't help but get a little bit blue
thinking about the precious nothing we
Once knew

"Spoiled Girl"
(feat. Kate Taylor)

"Spoiled Girl"
(feat. Kate Taylor)



When you got a pretty boy
You want a smart one
When you got a smart one
You want him pretty

When you got one who's all over you
You wish he'd hold back
Then when he's being cool
You want him to attack

Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself

Someone's there to cut her hair
Will you wear it up or down
What, no bubbles for the bath?
Send the chauffeur into town
You'll have fun tonight
Now you're gonna call him up
"Hi" you say "I'll call you back"
He waits and waits but no such luck

Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself

When you want her, you can't have her
When you need her you can't find her
She is busy keeping dizzy with the business of a little

Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself

"Spring Is Here"

"Spring Is Here"



Once there was a thing called Spring
When the world was writing
Verses like yours and mine
All the boys and girls would sing
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Seem sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon

Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me

Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
Spring is here
I hear

"Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year"
(feat. Jimmy Webb)

"Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year"
(feat. Jimmy Webb)



Spring will be a little late this year
a little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Yes time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year

"Spy"
(feat. James Taylor)

"Spy"
(feat. James Taylor)



Got my eye on you, nothing's slipping by
Watching everything you do, like a Spy
I come here everynight, I'm like a firefly
Moving through the strobe lights, like a Spy

[Chorus]

I know your shadow hides, just what I need
There's something there inside, I want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

Been wearing my disguise, for too long a time
Tonight I'm movin' in, like a Spy

[Chorus]

I know your shadow hides, just what I need
There's something there inside, I want to see
I've got to take the lead, undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

You have your reputation in this town
For dressing up and letting people down
Until I find out for myself, I'll follow you around

You were flying high the night we met
I was just another stranger in your bed
But I remember showing you, one thing you won't forget

So here's a little note for you, it says: "Please reply
I'm the girl with the blue tattoo of you (It's a bunny), I'm the Spy"

[Chorus]

I know your shadow hides, just what I need
There's something there inside, I want to see
I've got to take the lead, Undercover lover
I'm so intrigued by you

"Stardust"
(feat. James Taylor)

"Stardust"
(feat. James Taylor)



Golden rock'n'roll man
Breaking all of the records and rules
Sold out in an hour
The stage is your own bedroom

I have your poster close to my bed
Earphones glued to my head
But I'd rather have you in my arms instead
And I'd be better than I was before
If only I had you
If only I had
If only I had
If only I had your
Stardust
Your glamour is golden
Stardust
I'd feel so important
Stardust
If only I knew you
Stardust
I want to be near you
Stardust

There I got to meet you
And your gold glitter fell all over me
Then I shook your hand
Took some of your lustre
I told my friends that you were just a man
Real nice, not tough
None of that phony star stuff
And I'm better than I was before
Because I have you
Because I have
Because I have
Because I have your
Stardust
Your glamour is golden
Stardust
I feel so important
Stardust
Now that I'm holding you
Stardust
Now that I know you
Stardust

"Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of"

"Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of"



Take a look around now
Change the direction
Adjust the tuning
Try a new translation
Don't look at your man in the same old way
Take a new picture
Just because you don't see shooting stars
Doesn't mean it isn't perfect
Can't you see...

It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of

So what's this about your best friend?
She's got a brand new shiny boy
And they're moving out to Malibu
To play with all his pretty toys
And you feel closed in by the same four walls
The same old conversation
With the same old guy you've know for years
But use your imagination
And you will see....

It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of

What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale
Is right here in disguise
And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for
Are shining in his eyes

Don't look at yourself in the same old way
Take another picture
Shoot the stars off in your own backyard
Don't look any further
And you will see
It's the stuff that dreams are made of....

"Such A Good Boy"

"Such A Good Boy"


He asks her for permission
To take the car
Light his cigar
Play his guitar
Burn down the barn

He asks her for permission
To tie his shoes
To take a snooze
To read the news
To sing the blues

[Chorus:]
He's such a good boy
A real mama's boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boy
[Repeat]

He asks her for permission
To get a tan
To play his hand
To blow a grand
To be a man

He asks her for permission
To say goodnight
To see Snow White
To watch the fight
'Cause she's always right

[Chorus]

She points her finger
And waves her hand
And acts just like a Queen bee
But he's foolin' her
'Cause he doesn't ask
Her for permission
When he comes to see me

[Chorus]
