After dark
(1980)
It wasn’t what you said.
It’s knowing what you mean.
You wanna spread your wings and fly
where the moment takes you off.
Trying hard to be
someone you ain’t.
It wasn’t how you laughed
that taught me how to cry.
Convincing me your heart is
a million dreams away.
Trying hard to be
someone you ain’t.
You came along when I was down
and found a place within me.
All the love I ever had cannot
replace the things you did.
I’m still in love with you and
even though you’re gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try.
Someday I’m gonna win
and get back to your arms.
And here am I alone
with a memory of you.
Trying hard to be, someone I ain’t.
We held it in, we gave it out.
There wasn’t any quarter.
All the pieces fell apart.
It still ain’t like it ought to be.
I’m still in love with you.
Even though you’re gone.
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try.
You came along when I was down
and found a place within me.
All the love I ever had cannot
replace the things you did.
I’m still in love with you.
Even though you’re gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try.
We held it in, we gave it out.
There wasn’t any quarter.
All the pieces fell apart.
It still ain’t like it ought to be.
I’m still in love with you.
Even though you’re gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try…
