Walls have eyes
(1985)


How can you decide what’s better from inside your heart.
Better not to try.
It’s better not to start.
Someone making love to you.
It shows under the skin.
Anyone can win.
Someone like me can win.

In it for the money.
Whatever, whatever.
In for the love
that hungers me for the start of things.
Someone else’s body.
All your loving brings.
There must be something more,
something more.

These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They see the lies
that hide the fears.

They watch us live.
They watch us grow.
What lies ahead.
What lies below.

When that magnificent woman lays back,
behind the beat,
better not to sleep.
Someone making love to you.
Perform that magical skill.
Go in for the kill.
You move in for the kill.

Kill for the money,
whatever it takes.
Kill for the love,
waiting until the hunger breaks.
Someone else’s body.
Your destiny.
And even all that is sacred,
is sacred, is the secret, is mine.

These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They see the lies
that hide the fears.

Each baby’s cry,
each song is sung
these walls have heard,
each bell that’s rung.

If spiders crawl
these walls within
there’s room for all.
When fate steps in
we celebrate
all things we crave.
What life is lost
What love we save.

One for the money.
Oh the planet shakes whenever we burn.
I want my love all over you.
It’s all the love was meant to be.
We keep the secret with me.

These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They see the mask
that hides the years.

One spark of joy.
One voice to laugh.
Those days foretold
in photograph.

They watch us live.
They watch us grow.
What lies ahead.
What lies below.

These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They won’t survive
for all the tears.

Runaway
(1986)


So many things that you could say or do.
Don’t wanna say goodbye .
So many nights that I would cry for you.
But you were cold as ice.
Now I’m searching for
someone I can be sure of.
Sacrifice the only one that I need.

No hideaway for the runaway.
Every creature of love had excited me.
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart).
So tomorrow I’ll tell you that I’m sorry.
And it’s too late to worry if
someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart).

Just an echo of a distant dream
that slowly disappears in the magic of the ecstasy,
that flows between the tears.
Then before my eyes the crystal was broken
I swallowed every promise you made.

No hideaway for the runaway.
Every creature of love had excited me.
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart).
So tomorrow I’ll tell you that I’m sorry.
And it’s too late to worry if
someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart).

Moonlight is cruel as the light.
And the future is only a lie.
Oh, baby.
Birds of a feather will fly.
I’m alone in the night.

No hideaway for the runaway.
Every creature of love had excited me.
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart).
So tomorrow I’ll tell you that I’m sorry.
And it’s too late to worry if
someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart).

I can relate the story of my life.
No brighter hope, no stronger emotion.
And I believed I could die over you.
How you could ever
break down and never see me through,
through my darkest night.
 
And as I lie awake,
one prayer within me burning.
And there’s no price on what you hold till it’s gone,
then it keeps moving on.
 
Where is my heart?
You know I will be waiting to be a part of you
and never feel the pain.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had with you.
 
The only love.
No use in me pretending
to be a part of you
and you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
with, with you.
With you.
 
So we agree to let each other go.
No long goodbye.
Just your way and my way.
And I can stand how you cried to be free.
High as the wind blows,
but not enough to bring you home to me.
And only lonely knows.
 
You see my open arms.
You know my flame is burning.
But I’m too blind to see the end has begun.
And it keeps moving on.
 
The only love.
No use in me pretending
to be a part of you
and you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
with you.
 
The only love.
No use in me pretending
to be a part of you
and you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
with you.
 
The only love.
One love that will not die.
You may be sorry that I built my world around you.
The only love
is only you and I.
There will be others who would leave you as I found you.
 
The only love.
One love that will not die….

I never ask for any time from you, baby.
I never ask for any lies.
You only hurt the one you love the most, baby.
You only had to make me cry.
 
‘Cause you left me (you left me)
all alone (you left me).
You left me (you left me)
to stand alone.
 
And every night I sit beside my bed, baby.
And I keep thinking of your love.
The things we dreamt about.
How much I love you, baby.
We had the world and the stars above.
 
But then you left me (you left me)
all alone (you left me).
You left me, you left me (you left me)
to stand alone.
 
Ah. You left me to stand alone.
Ah. You left me to stand alone.
You left me. You left me.
You left me. You left me.

    When the day is done and the night is near
Happiness is gone when you’re not here
And all the games and songs, they disappear
When the day is done.

I believed in you, what you were to me
every dream I knew became reality
And all the worlds I knew became a memory
‘cause I believed in you.

I gave you every thing love
Together we could bring love
I remember when I gave you
The love of a woman
The love of a woman.

I believed in you, what you were to me
every dream I knew became reality
And all the worlds I knew became a memory
‘cause I believed in you.

I gave you every thing love
Together we could bring love
I remember when I gave you
The love of a woman
The love of a woman…

So the word is goodbye.
makes no difference how the tears are cried.
It’s over.
And my heart lives alone.
I can’t make believe you need me
when it’s over.

And we can’t take it home
the fire that was burning,
when all around was turning
and we were cruising for the ride.

Got to give a little of the love inside.
Not to take it all
and watch me fall.
I got me loving you,
I had you loving me.

And we both played along.
Love is easy on the young.
Life was together.
As the world fades away
into yesterday
I’m losing you forever.

I’m just an empty shell
with nothing for tomorrow.
I’m here to face the sorrow.
The dream we sailed was far and wide.

Got to give a little of the love inside.
Not to take a part,
this breaking heart.
I got me loving you,
I had you loving me.

So the word is goodbye.
Makes no difference how the tears are cried.
It’s over.
And my heart lives alone.
I can’t make believe you need me
when it’s over.

And we can’t take it home,
the fire that is burning
when all around is turning,
the dream we sailed was far and wide.

Got to give a little of the love inside,
the love inside…

You know a love so fine, so high above,
goes on forever but the road is rough,
reaching for another as truth will show,
try to live without it but you can’t let go.
 
We don’t talk about it, we got no doubt,
we can love each other when the lights go out.
I got nobody, my bird has flown,
anyone can see I’m walking alone,
walking alone.
 
In your quiet moments, in your silent prayer,
I’ll be with you baby, I’ll be there.
In your darkest hour, on your longest night,
I’ll be with you baby,
make it right
on your longest night.
 
You know it breaks my heart and it hurts my pride
to know I lost you to the world outside.
Feelings when you touch me they rise and fall,
try to live without it ain’t no love at all.
 
We don’t talk about it but somebody knows,
we can love each other when the candle glows.
Open my eyes and the moment is gone,
anyone can see I’m walking alone,
walking alone.
 
In your darkest hour, on your longest night,
I’ll be with you baby,
make it right.
 
Nobody cries,
nobody cries, cries
for the pain I feel.
Nobody knows, nobody knows
and it makes me wanna die.
 
In your quiet moments, in your silent prayer,
I’ll be with you baby, I’ll be there.
In your darkest hour, on your longest night,
I’ll be with you baby,
make it right
on your longest night.

    Some other types who just don’t do wrong
In the sense they always believed

Guess I’m the type who just don’t know wrong
Never been played by pride or greed

I’ve been hung up and I’ve been left out
By the only friends I had

But all these troubles don’t get me down
It maybe you right or it maybe that

I’m the loner

    Not many days when the summer is gone
and the water is dry.
The silence of war.
You can never go home.
You cannot ever go home.

So many lights in the heaven I saw
when the living were dead
and the mother instead
keeps her little boy warm,
keeping her little boy warm.

Fools never knowing
never knew which storm was blowing.
No one left to save the day.

Only nights last forever.
All the truth don’t change my weather.
Let me live, let me hide away.

And all my world has torn apart.
No glow of love, no beating heart.
There is danger on the earth tonight.
And I’m alone.

When the hunter comes.
When the hunter comes.

Down from the cities and the valleys of woe,
and the rivers of blood,
and the army of souls.
They will never grow old.
Nor will they ever be cold.

So many nights with the love in my arms.
When I lay down beside you.
Who can tell when the moment is gone.
Never be over and done.

Fools never trying,
never knew which child was crying.
You’re the reason for the rain.

It’s the road that you followed.
Make it so, there’s no tomorrow.
Only people are that insane.

And all my love is nothing more
than feelings that I had before.
There are strangers on the earth tonight.
And I’m alone.

When the hunter comes.
When the hunter comes.
When the hunter comes.

There’ll be no return.
Should be die to learn.

When the hunter comes.

When the hunter comes.
When the hunter comes.

Before I heard your voice
I never heard a sound like that before.
I wanna hear it more and more.

Take me to heaven.
My love is stronger than the wall.
I’ll climb it till I fall
so I can hear you call
your love.

I’d be the greatest man in the world
‘cause I can say I got the greatest girl.
I’d be the greatest man in the world

Before I saw your face
I never saw a dream like that before.

Be the greatest man in the world

Be the greatest man in the world.
Oh. Be the greatest man in the world.

    The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side

And the star drew nigh to the northwest
O’er Bethlehem the little kid rest
And there it did both pause and stay
And over the place where Jesus did lay

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side

No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war

    I ain’t got no claim to nothing,
I don’t mess with anyone,
I walk my way
living in a masquerade.

And one day I looked behind me
at all the things I’ve done,
that’s the first mistake
I ever made.

I was born to a lonely woman
in a town called Buffalo.
Never knew the man
who never stayed.

With my 12-string on my back
I discovered every track,
that’s the first mistake
I ever made.

With a million hearts I’ve broken.
I never kept the score.
Memories of good love
hate to stay.

But I still remember someone
who loved me so much more,
that’s the first mistake
I ever made.

So, when nothing’s worth the living
and in the night I look above.
Prayed, about a million times
I prayed.

I know my story ended
when I lost my only love,
that’s the first mistake
I ever made.

I was born to a lonely woman
in a town called Buffalo.
Never knew the man
who never stayed.

With my 12-string on my back
I discovered every track,
that’s the first mistake
I ever made.

You lived with my strength and my pain.
You are my friend.

I’m ready to walk that line,
ready to fight, for
I’m not alone in the night,
You’re always in sight and it’s so right.
For once in your life, let your soul shine through
and know I will go
that extra mile for you.

In all the years, you suffer for your love.
And my tears will fade away.
Heaven above.
Now I can steer my ship to the shore.
Borne on the wind.
All’s fair in love and in war.
Steady and sure.

I’m ready to walk that line,
ready to fight, I’ll
weather the storm in the night.
You’re always around and it’s so right.
For once in your life let your soul shine through
and know I will go
that extra mile for you.

Ready to walk that line,

At the end of a rainbow,

At the end of a story,
you’ll find it’s all been told.
But our love has a treasure our hearts always spend.
And it has a story without any end.
 
At the end of a river,
the water stops its flow.
At the end of a highway,
there’s no place you can go.
But just tell me you love and you are only mine.
And our love will go on till the end of time.

    When I was young I dreamed of you
Far and away my dreams come through
Now I know what love has done
Children of mine we all are one

 

When I was young I looked at you
You were the world I never knew
Through the years we all have grown
Knowing your love forever strong

Would you walk away if I raised my voice
Do you think I taught you well
Time after time after time

In younger days I felt for you
With all the pain that we went through
We believe the one above
Father and son forever love
Hand in hand the future is here
Now that we crossed the bridge of tears
Finding truth and facing fears
We can walk on the road is clear

Walk across the bridge
Take my hand
Walk across the bridge
Come to me

Would you walk away if I raised my voice
Do you think I taught you well
Time after time after time

Walk across the bridge
Come to me
Walk across the bridge

You’ll never be far away
You’ll never be far away
You’ll never be far away

That’s life (that’s life), that’s what all the people say
You’re ridin’ high in April, shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in June
 
I said that’s life (that’s life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down
‘cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin’ around
 
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself   flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
 
That’s life (that’s life), I tell you I can’t deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it
And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try
I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly
 
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin’ flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
 
That’s life (that’s life), that’s life and I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin’ out but my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothin’ shakin’ come this here July
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
 
My, my!
