"Talking All Night"

"Talking All Night"

Ain't it funny I'm tied to the magic of your caress
Ain't it lovely how we fit together
Girl you're the best
It seems like we've been talking forever
Words & Wine
We've been lost in time
Touching emotions I used to hide
Too deep inside

12:45 quarter to one
We're Talking All Night
1:45 quarter to two
We're Talking All Night

Heat of passion, hours and minutes don't mean so much
I know the language of love is a tender touch
Speak slowly, make the night last forever, spill the wine
So you'll forget the time
Won't you break down & show me emotions you used to hide so deep inside

12:45 quarter to one
We're Talking All Night
1:45 quarter to two
We're Talking All Night
2:45 quarter to three
We're Talking All Night
3:45 quarter to four
We're Talking All Night

"Tell Me What You Want"

"Tell Me What You Want"

When I look in your eyes I can see there's more than passion there
Something ugly and lovely is tuning in just behind your stare
Yeah, I've seen it before and I think that I'd know it anywhere

So Tell Me girl What You Want
I know you know

Grin and bare it, no no I like what you're wearing
You gotta leave it on all night
As above so below so they say so can we do the Magick [sic] right
Kiss and tell, when I know you so well there's no need to be polite

That's right
So Tell Me girl What You Want
I know you know

Take a position `cause you know I'm gonna listen to you
Tell me
Ain't no conditions, no there isn't baby ya don't have to sell me
`Cause I love you and I want you tonight

So Tell Me girl What You Want
I know you know.

"Thank You For..."

"Thank You For..."

Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
with a stranger

Good morning. Hello! Choose a color, carnation
we'll walk along.

Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples
it's not all gone... I recall

Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
with a stranger

Thank you for talking
and showing the way to a stranger

Wining and dining (what a September)
from bags by the river (I should've worn a sweater)
a sun, sail, song (it's cooler up here)

We sat on a wall (oh my)
rest our feet (just a little longer)
touch our noses

Then slow poke on... oh, I recall

One red carnation
the color for April
and apples
and wine

I suppose it was white... but I needed the rhyme.

As I packed up to leave oh, I noticed the fountain,
the statue's hand.

There in her bronzed, moistened, palm
red carnation
Without you there... I recall

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey
And some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
Really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

"The Emptyness"

"The Emptyness"

I spent last night trying to write to you
But the words wouldn't come,
I couldn't go on
And the telephone won't do

I'm sick and tired of hearing
"You're never home"
Yet I'm sick in the head and the hotel
beds don't feel right
Though I hope it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say

I feel The Emptyness inside me
The Emptyness inside me
I have this feeling and I've got to get back
This feeling that I've got to get back to you

There's no one else
There's nothing else
There's no one else
I hear myself saying again and again....
Even if it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say

I feel The Emptyness inside me
I hope it doesn't show
The Emptyness inside me
Like a hollow down below
I have this feeling and I've got
to get back
This feeling that I've got to get back to you
I feel nothing but The Emptyness

"The Girl Who Used To Be"

"The Girl Who Used To Be"

She's The Girl Who Used To Be
In the town that can't remember
Just a face you use to see
In a show one past September
Another child star who didn't get far
as she hoped to
She's got re-runs for memories....
She don't want sympathy
Or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
There's no sympathy
Or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
To prove that she can
She reads the want ads and haunts the bars
What she finds is next to nothing
She can push but just so far
And she's tired of being that someone
At the end of the line
She wants her day in the sun forever
Not much different from you and me....
She's The Girl Who Used To Be
In the town that can't remember

"The Last Time"

"The Last Time"

There was something about the way you left tonight
That really tore my heart
I remember the look in your eyes, it really ripped me apart
Oh the look
One last time
It can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine
How can it be
It's the second time around I've had this vision
And I don't like it, no
When it all happened before, I knew I'd never come back
All the way
Oh the look one last time
It can't be the last time
I took so much but I gave you mine
How can it be

"The Sky Is Falling"

"The Sky Is Falling"

Time will tell
Give some new meaning now
What it really takes to survive
Time will prove
That my fears, all were coming true
Now that you're leaving my life
Clouding up, think l see rain,and now
Oh no, I'm feeling the pain
So far the omens are saying
That a stormy time is coming again

[Chorus:]
The sky is falling
No early warning
There's no returning
It's the end of the loving
The sky is falling
No early warning
There's no returning
The sky is falling

Coming down
Oh baby it's all around
Waves are washing over me
Weathered through other storms
Yeah they seemed so long
But not as hard as this will be
Don't we know, haven't we learned by now
Hurt love and you're gonna cry
Oh baby nothing can save us now
My heart is as dark as the sky

[Chorus]

Gotta turn my back on the feeling
So I can face the world
Don't you know my heart stopped believing
And I just can't keep reaching
For love

[Chorus]

"The Woman Comes And Goes"

"The Woman Comes And Goes"

Woman don't need no run around
Don't need no truth in disguise
She only goes by
That look of love in her eye
There ain't no other side to see
She plays it so easily
And I gotta love her -ah-
When she shows it to me

Oh the woman comes and goes
When the morning comes she goes
Yeah the woman comes,
and goes when she's satisfied

I might not see her for days
Then she bumps in, in a haze
I like how her mind works
And I love how it plays
She gets her kick and she leaves
And leaves me weak in the knees
A bitter smile but
A lot of sweet memories
I like it. I love it...

"They Needed Each Other"

"They Needed Each Other"

They started as children and grew to be friends
He with his sculptor's hands she with her needle
They went through some bitter times alone and together
They were lovers and friends, but friends more than
lovers
Sharing each other with their own private worlds

He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs

He sculpted he form only both of them knew
He yearned to finish before she would leave him forever
But before he was finished, she disappeared
And seized with sadness, he crumbled the statue to bits

Form and friend, gone forever
Both crumbled down to memory

He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
