All the man I am,
you are the reason for me,
you help me understand
I’ll be your shelter from the rain that never ends.
Girl, you’ve always got a friend in me.

All the love we had.
I should’ve know our love was older than the past.
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard.
Just the speaking of a single word.
I made you die inside but you loved me.

And don’t believe the world.
No, the world can’t give us paradise.
When you make your love to me.
Till I just could not see the light.
As long as I got you.
As long as you got me.
As long as we got you and I.

I won’t let you down.
No better love will be there when you turn around.
I’ll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand.
There will never be any man
could love you just the way that I love you.

So don’t believe the world.
No, the world can’t give up paradise.
In the eye within the storm.
Just when I could not make it through the night.
As long as I got you.
As long as you got me.
As long as we got you and I.

You

I can see the hands of time.
Guess it’s now my time to learn things I read in storybooks.
Forgotten what it’s like to weep.
My mouth is open, I can’t speak.
What good would shouting be?
So unreal to me, the feeling when you said goodbye.
What can I do now?

So please come back to me.
Don’t end this life of mine.
Without you here with me
I know I’m gonna lose my mind.

My tears are hurting me.
Just what am I supposed to do.
When you see me in your mind watching you.

The way you used to hold my hand
that no one else could understand.
The way you used to wink your eye.
Now all my hopes have changed to fears.
And all my smiles have changed to tears.
What good would shouting be?
So unreal to me, the feeling when you said goodbye.
What can I do now?

So please come back to me.
Don’t end this life of mine.
Without you here with me
I know I’m gonna lose my mind.

My tears are hurting me.
Just what am I supposed to do
When you see me in your mind, watching you,
watching you.

    I loved you all the summer through
I thought I’d found my dream in you
For me you were the one
But that was yesterday and yesterday’s gone

We walked together hand in hand
‘cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it’s over and done
‘cause that was yesterday and yesterday’s gone

We had such happiness together
I can’t believe it’s gone forever

Wait ‘til summer comes again
I hope that you’ll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yesterday and yesterday’s gone

We had such happiness together
I can’t believe it’s gone forever

Wait ‘til summer comes again
I hope that you’ll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yesterday and yesterday’s gone
Yesterday’s gone
Yesterday’s gone
Yesterday’s gone.

Now you don’t know what you have done.
You made me what I thought I could never be.
Out of the flames with my hands untied.
No time to grieve for the loss.
 
Hearts that come together for the first time.
Sparks that fly around the room.
Lets face it I’m dealing with something I don’t understand.
But I’ll kill you if you stop too soon.
 
Too tight to fight the system of love.
You get to try what others only dream of.
Right to the body you get what you want.
Just once over my love
I make your knees bend.
 
It’s the fire of faith,
heart of the soul.
I can be your system if you lose control.
I’l plug into you.
I know how to love you, girl, let me try.
Come together we electrify.
System of love, system of love.
Give a little.
 
Now you don’t know what it is since you touched me.
My world has changed.
You’re the one that I live and breathe for.
You and me, baby, gone insane.
 
Loving arms that gotta hold on to someone.
I can see you watching me.
Is that what you want?
 
State to state,
a matter of time
that you may be slipping but you’re too, too, too…
 
too tight to fight the system of love.
You get to try what others only dream of.
Right to the body you get what you want.
Just once over my love
I’ll make your nose bleed.
 
And it’s all for the love,
heart of the light.
I can be your system,
give me just one night.
I’l climb up to you.
 
I know how to love,
just let me try.
We come together, baby,
we electrify.
 
And it’s all for the love,
heart of the light.
I can be your system,
give me just one night.
I’ll climb up to you.
 
I know how to love you,
just let me try.
We come together, baby,
we electrify.
 
System of love, system of love.
Give a little….

If your heart tells you so
that you should leave me,
don’t try to forget
you and I never met.
 
And before you fly,
one kiss should tell me why
you’ve forgotten all the words
that you once said….
 
….long as I’ve got you there beside me,
as long as you’re there to stand and guide me,
the love we share no one can ever tear apart.
 
Long as I’ve got this life I’m living,
long as it’s you the love I’m with then,
I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart.
 
If my love for you
can’t make you happy
just open the door
and you won’t see me anymore.
 
And before you fly,
one kiss should tell me why
you’ve forgotten all the words
that you once said,

This is my swan song.

I fell in love with you, I love you well.
 
And if the Lord provides the music
for the world around to sing,
my love will build a castle in the air.
 
This is my last chance,
a chance to show the world that I am strong.
This is my last dance.
I’m walking off the floor where I belong.
 
And if the Lord provides the music

my love will build a castle in the air.

I’m so afraid that you’ll get hurt someday
You say that this could never be
But I’m in love with you, surfer boy
So won’t you please come home to me

You say you love me but you treat me mean
You are the meanest boy I’ve ever seen
You leave me lonely and you leave me blue
I wish you wouldn’t treat me like you do

Surfer boy, why don’t you settle down
with a love you know is true
Yes I’m in love with you, surfer boy
Why don’t you say you love me too

You say you love me but you treat me mean
You are the meanest boy I’ve ever seen
You leave me lonely and you leave me blue
I wish you wouldn’t treat me like you do

Surfer boy, why don’t you settle down
with a love you know is true
Yes I’m in love with you, surfer boy
Why don’t you say you love me too

there is a thing I’m thinking of:
Sun in my morning and my sky above.
Sun in my morning and my sky above.
 
I’m not like you, I’m not a rich man.
I work and do the best that I can.
There is a place I’m thinking of:
Sun in my morning and my sky above.
Sun in my morning and my sky above.
 
I’ve got my woman there to guide me.
In all my darkness, she will guide me.
She is the think I’m talking of.
She’s my sun in the morning and my sky above.
Sun in my morning and my sky above.

Summer Ends

The kid’s no good <bootleg>


    A lonely leaf must fall and blow,
but still the trees will stand and grow.
So many years that come and go
won’t ever take away the love I know.

A lonely tear must touch the ground
with nobody’s love when no one’s around.
And summer ends just like a dream,
a broken heart, a dying stream.
I won’t forget our love is gone.
If summer ends my love,
still my love goes on.

A lonely rose must surely die.
And who am I to find out why.
If love must come, then love must go,
but that won’t take away the love I know.

And summer ends just like a dream,
a broken heart, a dying stream,
I won’t forget, our love is gone.
If summer ends my love,
still my love goes on.

Once in a while he says good night.
Will I care if sometimes he is right?
What a shame, it’s the same each day.

Oh how I tried! I just sat and then I cried.
Maybe I’m wrong or will I find out when I’m gone?
 
There is so much fun in my leisure.
Don’t bother me, man, just stay there.
If it’s a sin, I’ll convert me astray.

Come be home with me, it’s not a shame for you to see.
Oh let it be and you’ll miss reality.

    You may be someone else’s sweetheart
Fighting someone else’s war
And if you suffer for the millions
Then it’s what you’re fighting for

Someone believes in only light of day
Someone strong enough to show the way
Someone everyone believes in
Someone who…  will stand by you

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it’s how I’m gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And love will make your spirit shine
I feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

May we share the most tomorrows
I will hear you when you cry
Should we let it come between us?
Never knowing how we live or die

I will walk you through the pouring rain
I will help you learn to live and love again
Give’em hell before you go to heaven
But send you home again

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it’s how I’m gonna stay
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And somewhere in the lonely night
Your flame is burning bright
I know it’s how I’m gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And just to see your spirit shine
To feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away
Oooh
Far away

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can you see me,
see me at all?
 
Do you know me?
Can you show me?
If you hear me,
don’t let me fall.
Is it raining in the sunshine
and the wind blows in my eyes.
Lying face down to the hard ground
I can face the cloudy skies.
And although I may be dying, I will bide my love,
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting,
I’ll be waiting in the storm.
 
You were my girl in the springtime,
with the sunshine in my day.
Your sweet lips, your fingertips
and you touch me but you won’t stay.
 
Is it raining in the sunshine
and the wind blows in my eyes.
Lying face down to the hard ground
I can face the cloudy skies.
And although I may be dying, I will bide my love,
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting,
I’ll be waiting in the storm.
 
Can you hear me?
Are you near me

From daybreak to sunset

Now I know where you go
and all the plans you made,
playing for a love, not a dream.
 
All that I want is you now,
and somehow I let you down.
Lost in my pain,
that’s where I lie.
 
You got to
stop, think again,
before you give it to him.
Stop,
baby, one of us
got to lose.
 
You gotta stop, think again,
before you lose the heaven.
Stop,
baby one of us gotta try.
 
Oh, it’s a great big world

Pleasure and pain,

You got to

Midnight you leave me
taking the part of me
that loves you like he loves you,

Birds cry, my sky falls.
Darkness becomes my life.
He got you.
I got nothing to be living for.
 
Oh, it’s a great big world

No one wins and losers weep.

Now I admit I’ve been a fool sometimes.
I believe I may be losing you.
It’s now or never, we talk before a tear is shed.
Under your spell and over my head.
 
You took me in your arms and you told me
we don’t need to worry, but you,
you never say you’re sorry.
 
Keep this love alive for us, it’s all I feel.
How can we survive if we change what is real?
 
Still waters run deep,

I don’t have the will to fight.
Out of the darkness and into the light.
     
But living in your arms, I can take it.
Please don’t make me shiver.

I know I’m only human ifI cry

(1984)


Now she didn’t get off to a very good start.
And she tangled with love.
And he broke her heart.
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real.
 
I came along, she was seventeen,
with the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean.
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love.
She taught me how to feel.
 
Loving each other was never enough.
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up
in a book of life she gave to me the day the white ship sailed.
 
Farewell my darling, au revoir.
I will pray every day for you, oh.
 
And she would stay alone
while I’m away.
She wouldn’t walk
all alone in the city without me.
 
She would stay alone.
She wouldn’t play
in the dark
with this love inside
my heart.
 
I came home on a summer night
and the wind in her hair
and she looked just right.
There was never another kind of woman could see right through my soul.
 
Suddenly after the southern rain,
she rode out of my life on the midnight train.
And I fell to the ground.
And the world became the last place I should be.
 
Wandering I will wait for you,
for the sound of your voice.
The dreams that you make.
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive.
 
Nobody knows which way I’m going.
But I only search for you.
 
So won’t you stay alone (stay alone)
while I’m away (while I’m away).
If we both walk in the same direction,
maybe my eyes will see you one day.
 
Stay alone (stay alone),
and may your dreams come to be
all your love inside of me.
 
Stay alone.
Ah. Ah.
