"Runaway Train"

"Runaway Train"

I'm worried about you
I'm worried about me
The curves around midnight
Aren't easy to see
Flashing red warnings
Unseen in the rain
This thing has turned into
A runaway train

Long-distance phone calls
A voice on the line
Electrical miles
That soften the time
The dynamite too
Is hooked on the wire
And so are the rails
Of American Flyers

Blind boys and gamblers
They invented the blues
Will pay up in blood
When this marker comes due
To try and get off now
It's about as insane
As those who wave lanterns
At runaway trains

Steel rails and hard lives
Are always in twos
I have been here before this
And now it's with you

I'm worried about you
I'm worried about me
We're lighting the fuses
And counting to three
And what are the choices
For those who remain
The sign of the cross
On a runaway train

This thing has turned into
A runaway train
This thing has turned into
A runaway train
Our love has turned into
A runaway train

"Sea Of Heartbreak"
(feat. Bruce Springsteen)

"Sea Of Heartbreak"
(feat. Bruce Springsteen)

The lights in the harbor don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea

Sea of heartbreak, lost love, loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
I wish you were mine again my dear on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

How did I lose you? Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me always to sail?

Sea of heartbreak, lost love, loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
I wish you were mine again my dear on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more

Come to my rescue, oh, come here to me
Take me and keep me away from the sea

Sea of heartbreak, lost love, loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
I wish you were mine again my dear on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Sea of heartbreak, lost love, loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
I wish you were mine again my dear on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak, sea of heartbreak
The sea of heartbreak

"Second To No One"

"Second To No One"

I don't want to be the sole survivor
I don't want to close it down
I don't want to know what goes on between you
Whenever I ain't around

I don't want to be the last to hear it
And I don't want to live apart
But I don't want to wear your diamond ring
If you won't give me your heart

I don't think you know how bad you treat me
But I can't live like a whore
She thinks she's got the key to your heart
Now I've got to wait by the door

If I could only learn to make you love me
I'll make you love me like I love you
If I could give you what I want to give you
I'd want to give you a heart that's true

I don't want to know how long you're leaving
And I don't want to know why
If I can't lie in your arms this evening
I'll just stay home and cry

I don't want to be second to no one
I don't want to let it be
I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow
But tonight you belong here with me

I don't know if this can last forever
'Cause I don't know what I can stand
I can love you like a man should be loved
But I can't love half a man

If I could only learn to make you love me
I'd make you love me like I love you
If I could give you what I want to give you
I'd want to give you a heart that's true

If I could only learn to make you love me
I'd make you love me like I love you
If I could give you what I want to give you
I'd want to give you a heart that's true

"September When It Comes"

"September When It Comes"

There's a cross above the baby's bed
A savior in her dreams
But she was not delivered then
And the baby became me
There's a light inside the darkened room
A footstep on the stair
A door that I forever close
To leave those memories there
So when the shadows lengthen
Into an evening sun
First there's summer, then I'll let you in
September when it comes

I plan to crawl outside these walls
Close my eyes and see
And fall into the heart and arms
Of those who wait for me
I cannot move a mountain now
I can no longer run
I cannot be who I was then
In a way I never was

I watch the clouds go sailing
I watch the clock and sun
Oh I watch myself depending on
September when it comes

When the shadows lengthen
And burn away the past
They will fly me like an angel to
A place where I can rest
When this begins I'll let you in
September when it comes

"Seven Year Ache"

"Seven Year Ache"

You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way

Girls in the bars thinking who is this guy
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

And everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown

There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home

Just tell 'em your trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

"Seventh Avenue"

"Seventh Avenue"

The world keeps getting smaller
'til it closes 'round my room
and everything I feel now
is hard and fast and true
My window is a spotlight
on the madness down below
it takes a silent figure
to make this place a home

Now the candles burn all night
without you
and the moon hangs out of sight
so blue
on Seventh Avenue

I gave you what you wanted
and it took so many years
now I'm just a part of
the traffic and the tears
I am not a lighthouse
not the answer or the truth
but the love that I held onto
is safe inside this room

Now the candles burn all night
without you
and the moon hangs out of sight
so blue
on Seventh Avenue

(all of the stories from all of our lives
are not lost from memory on these streets tonight)

"She's Got You"

"She's Got You"

I've got your picture, you gave to me
And it's signed, "With love" just like it used to be
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your picture, she's got you

I've got the records we used to share
And they still sound the same when you were here
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your records, he's got you

I've got your memory or has it got me
Really don't know but I know it won't let me be
Won't let me be

I've got your memory or has it got me
Really don't know but I know it won't let me be
Won't let me be

I've got your class ring that proves you care
And it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear
Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your class ring, he's got you

Only thing different, only thing new
I've got your picture, who's got you
Who's got you, who's got you, who's got you, who's got you?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, who's got you?
He or she? Gender bender to me
Who's got you?

"Silver Wings"
(originally by Merle Haggard)
(feat. Rufus Wainwright)

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading from sight

"Don't leave me," I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
Then you locked me out of your life
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading from sight

"Don't leave me," I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
Then you locked me out of your life
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading from sight

Silver wings slowly fading from sight

"Sleeping In Paris"

"Sleeping In Paris"

I'll send the angels to watch over you tonight
And you send them right back to me
A lonely road is a bodyguard
If we really want it to be
There's a fascination behind every window
But I know you really care for me
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those angels free

No one sees behind the mask
No one knows I'm sinking fast
But soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those angels free

Love is just a lunar slave
It's tied to the ebb and flow
Generations get glued to the waves
Just to see which way they'll go
There's a desperation on wild street corners
But I think you're just waiting for me

And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those wild ones free

No one sees behind the door
But everyday it's one step forward
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those wild ones free

All those nights I laid with my eyes closed
But not sleeping at all
Those nights
I thought I knew which way the wind blows
But now its blowing me back to you
And the wind speaks French too

No one sees and no one knows
But every day I'm letting go
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
Soon we'll we sleeping in Paris
And we can set those angels free
