A Man Without Love
I may head south along the highway make a stop at every bar
I’ll drink whatever I please until I’m down on my knees
Then catch a ride in a rich girl’s car
No one to call me home, my lady’s gone and I’m on my own
No one to call me home, since she’s gone I’ve been on my own
She said that things weren’t getting easy but then again things never were
I worked my body and soul I breathed that dust from that coal
To buy her things, no diamond rings
No one to call me home, my lady’s gone and I’m on my own
No one to call me home, since she’s gone I’ve been on my own
I’ve got the blues and I’m loosing control of the things that I know
I’ve got the look of a man without love and it’s starting to show
Won’t you buy me just one drink and I’ll move out your way
I don’t want to make you think that I’m planning to stay
Don’t you know I’ve got the look, the look of a man, a man without love
Don’t you know I’ve got the look, the look of a man, a man without love
Don’t you know I’ve got the look, the look of a man, a man without love
All I seem to buy are smokes and whiskey, policemen round the clock all know my name
I bought her lipstick and shoes she gave me bad luck and blues
But whose to blame lets call it loves exchange
No one to call me home, my lady’s gone and I’m on my own
No one to call me home, since she’s gone I’ve been on my own
I’ve got the blues and I’m loosing control of the things that I know
I’ve got the look of a man without love and it’s starting to show
Won’t you buy me just one drink and I’ll move out your way
I don’t want to make you think that I’m planning to stay
Don’t you know I’ve got the look, the look of a man, a man without love
Don’t you know I’ve got the look, the look of a man, a man without love
Don’t you know I’ve got the look, the look of a man, a man without love

Walking With Love
She walks down the avenue she’s ready tonight
Turns along main street she’s looking so right
Stops at a window and fixes her dress
She don’t mind that the wind blows she’s looking her best
She’s not listening for no smooth conversation
She’s not looking for that cool presentation
Walking with love She’s my girl and she’s Walking with love
Walking with love She’s my girl and she’s Walking with love
She reaches the corner and crosses the road
She’s got motion she’s rarer than gold
And the thought of love quickens her step
To my waiting arms and heaven above
Created such a beauty to see don’t you know I feel so
Proud when she’s walking with me
Walking with love She’s my girl and she’s Walking with love
Walking with love She’s my girl and she’s Walking with love
And the thought of love quickens her step
To my waiting arms and heaven above
Created such a beauty to see don’t you know I feel so
Proud when she’s walking with me
Walking with love She’s my girl and she’s Walking with love
Walking with love She’s my girl and she’s Walking with love

Will You Dance In The Morning
Should I close my eyes and let the dream unfold
Give way through night to all the fantasies I hold
You were once to me the queen within my heart
You were once to me a dancer on my hand
Will you dance in the morning; in the morning will you dance
Will you dance in the morning; in the morning will you dance
Will you dance in the morning; in the morning will you dance for me by day
Should I dim the light and gently fall to sleep
And give up in the night all the secrets that I keep
You were once to me the keeper of my love
You were once to me a singer in a cage
Will you sing in the morning; in the morning will you sing
Will you sing in the morning; in the morning will you sing
Will you sing in the morning; in the morning will you sing for me by day
Will you dance in the morning; in the morning will you dance
Will you dance in the morning; in the morning will you dance
Will you dance in the morning; in the morning will you dance for me by day

Losing everything

Losing Everything
Everyday you say I’m moving away
Gone are the days when I was stuck on your heart
But you’ve been running away, running away from the start
It’s clearly defined for you the problem is me
I don’t see what you feel and you don’t feel what I see
But as I may have implied you kept your feelings inside from the start
And through time it seems the only thing we’ve found
Is an emotional intolerance for crying out loud
We’re losing everything, we’re losing everything
We’re losing everything that we had
Lovers who wed we’ve gone to strangers in bed
Words that we said dissolved through salient years
Till death do us part still it pertains through the tears
In friendship and love I still remain here for you
Open your eyes and see my love shining through
Stop running away, running away from my heart
‘cause through time it seems the only thing we’ve found
Is an emotional intolerance for crying out loud
We’re losing everything, we’re losing everything
We’re losing everything that we had
And through time it seems the only thing we’ve found
Is an emotional intolerance for crying out loud
We’re losing everything, we’re losing everything
We’re losing everything that we had

Only one I'm dreaming of

Only One I’m Dreaming Of
You’re that someone in the night that comforts me
Someone in the day that sets me free
And all I want to say to you my love is
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of, you’re the only one I’m dreaming of
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of
Emotions rise when I look in your eyes
And Angels come to look from Heavens doorway
Songs of love will play forever more
And you and I will share a thousand stories
You’re that someone in the night that comforts me
Someone in the day that sets me free
And all I want to say to you my love is
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of, you’re the only one I’m dreaming of
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of
Hand in hand we’ll share a thousand journeys
Heart to heart I know we’ll live as one
Kings and Queens will form a queue to curtsy
At your feet my love before this dance is done
You’re that someone in the night that comforts me
Someone in the day that sets me free
And all I want to say to you my love is
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of, you’re the only one I’m dreaming of
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of

Another rainy day

Another Rainy Day
The rain that fell all night and day
The rain that came to wash away decay
And in their hearts and minds did they ever find
The strength to make the rain go away
The strength to make the rain go away
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
The web of words a web of lies they hide behind
It’s clear to see it’s a poor disguise but the people are blind
A masquerade of foolish pride but don’t you feel it deep inside
We’ve got to stop the rain from falling again
We’ve got to stop the rain from falling again
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?
Will it take another rainy day?

Heaven take my heart

Heaven Take My Heart
Heaven take my heart and soul across the ocean
Heaven take my heart to the moon
Let me be a child on a sea of new emotion
When any words I say won’t be too soon
Let me ride in the wind, let me drink from the rain
Help me start to begin, to build my life back up again
Heaven take my love to the one that I am missing
Heaven take my love to her heart
Keep her safe from harm from the one that she is kissing
Release from my pain now we’re apart
Let me ride in the wind, let me drink from the rain
Help me start to begin, to build my life back up again
Help me to find a way to make things clear
Help me to find my way
Help me to find a way to make things clear
Help me to find my way Heaven take my heart
Heaven take my fears away so I can love another
Heaven keep my dreams alive inside
Give me strength to trust again so I can rediscover
The truth of life and love and live with pride
Let me ride in the wind, let me drink from the rain
Help me start to begin, to build my life back up again
Help me to find a way to make things clear
Help me to find my way
Help me to find a way to make things clear
Help me to find my way Heaven take my heart
Heaven take my heart and soul across the ocean
Heaven take my heart to the moon
Let me be a child on a sea of new emotion
When any words I say won’t be too soon
Let me ride in the wind, let me drink from the rain
Help me start to begin, to build my life back up again

Our Loving Eyes
Soon the day will come when you arrive
Soon the day will come we’ll see your eyes
We’ll wrap our loving arms around you
We’ll be oh so glad we found you
And you will know it’s in our loving eyes
Soon the sun will shine to warm the skies
Soon the wind will blow to dry your eyes
We’ll wrap our loving arms around you
We’ll be oh so glad we found you
And you will know it’s in our loving eyes
Soon the years will pass and you’ll be grown
Soon the time that’s passed will see us old
We’ll wrap our loving arms around you
We’ll be oh so glad we found you
And you will know it’s in our loving eyes
We’ll wrap our loving arms around you
We’ll be oh so glad we found you
And you will know it’s in our loving eyes

Lonely now

Lonely Now
You were the lonely one not me
You didn’t want my love but you needed my company
You didn’t love, never loved me
Don’t you think it’s kind of funny how our roles have changed?
‘cause now that loneliness is on the other hand
I know how hard it is when you’ve got to understand
That love can let you down just like your closest friend
You’ve got to find an empty heart if you don’t want love to end
I’m lonely now without you by my side
Don’t seem right to me this social suicide
I’m lonely now it cannot be denied
‘cause I still love you and I cannot seem to hide
I am lonely now
You were the only one like me
And I can’t seem to get away because I’m tied to your memory
You are happy now but can’t you see
That I am on my own when I need your company
‘cause now that loneliness is on the other hand
I know how hard it is when you’ve got to understand
That love can let you down just like your closest friend
You’ve got to find an empty heart if you don’t want love to end
I’m lonely now without you by my side
Don’t seem right to me this social suicide
I’m lonely now it cannot be denied
‘cause I still love you and I cannot seem to hide
I am lonely now

You're holding on

You’re Holding On
You’re holding on ‘till another day is gone
There may not be another fight
It won’t be long ‘till another day is gone
He won’t be home again tonight
Don’t bother me if it don’t bother you
I don’t know the kind of things that you do
I can go building bridges with some cold hearted bithches
But that aint the kind of thing that I do
You look at me and I look at you and
I want for things to be alright
But you wont learn your lesson with a man that’s messin’
And he wont be home again tonight
You’re holding on ‘till another day is gone
There may not be another fight
It won’t be long ‘till another day is gone
He won’t be home again tonight
Don’t come to me if I can’t go to you
‘cause that aint the kind of fool I can be
I’m a fool for loving and it don’t mean nothing if it
It aint the kind of fool that you need
Don’t cry for me and I won’t cry for you
‘cause I don’t think you feel the things that I do
You’ve been building bridges leaving me in the ditches
And that aint the kind of thing you should do
You’re holding on ‘till another day is gone
There may not be another fight
It won’t be long ‘till another day is gone
He won’t be home again tonight
Don’t bother me if it don’t bother you
I don’t know the kind of things that you do
You’ve been building bridges leaving me in the ditches
And that aint the kind of thing you should do

Music man

Music Man
I look in the mirror and I’ll tell you what I see
I see a man of sorrow staring back at me
I’ve heard him play and I know he plays real good
But there’s something wrong here and it’s not quite understood
There are people who are playing with my life
They say they’re the men of music hand the boy a knife
They don’t believe in music no
They don’t believe in music
People don’t you care about the music man
People don’t you know I’m the music man
I’m not distracted and I won’t be put down
I’m a man of patience I guess I’ll hang around
I see a band playing on the TV
I close my eyes and imagine it was me singing
Give me love, give me love my baby
You’re all I need to help me through my life
I’m a man of music yeh
I’m a man of music
People don’t you care about the music man
People don’t you know I’m the music man
People don’t you care about the music man
People don’t you know I’m the music man
There’s beauty queens in limousines who are singers over night
Drum machines with tambourines the beat is out of sight
Programme yourself a melody it’s all in the modern way but there’s
There’s no room for a music man today
People don’t you care about the music man
People don’t you know I’m the music man
People don’t you care about the music man
People don’t you know I’m the music man

Looking ahead

Looking Ahead
Looking ahead for something looking ahead to see the future unfold
Dreaming about that someone looking ahead to see the future unfold
‘cause she don’t wanna be lonely and she don’t wanna keep holding on
Sitting on her own by the telephone again
Mothers in the back room she’s calling out her name
Daughter, daughter don’t you know that love will make you pay
Why don’t you stay
Mother I can hear you and it’s driving me insane
Keep playing on your weakness but it’s me that feels enchained
Mother, mother don’t you think I’d like someone to be
There just for me
Looking ahead for something looking ahead to see the future unfold
Dreaming about that someone looking ahead to see the future unfold
‘cause she don’t wanna be lonely and she don’t wanna keep holding on
As a girl she was a princess as a woman she’s a slave
The TV sells her wishes her religion keeps her brave
Moment to moment tethered by her mothers skill to start
Her guilty heart
Looking ahead for something looking ahead to see the future unfold
Dreaming about that someone looking ahead to see the future unfold
‘cause she don’t wanna be lonely and she don’t wanna keep holding on
For someone to love her, for someone to hold her
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on looking ahead
Looking ahead for something looking ahead to see the future unfold
Dreaming about that someone looking ahead to see the future unfold
‘cause she don’t wanna be lonely and she don’t wanna keep holding on

Truth (for me)
Here I am like a Stone Age man
In the middle of a world I don’t understand
I keep looking at the TV it’s trying to deceive me
Trying to make me think that I’m living like a free man
But I know that isn’t so
Perhaps I heard it on the radio
When the songs were playing only
When the songs were playing only
When the songs were playing only for me
For me, for me
Sometimes I hide in a place deep inside
Yes that’s my sanctum my soul my love my pride
Living from the outside in you know I’m feeling like I’m inside out
And the preacher says you know it’s gonna begin you know were gonna stop living in sin
But I know that isn’t so
Perhaps I heard it on the radio
When the songs were playing only
When the songs were playing only
When the songs were playing only for me
For me, for me
Be still tonight don’t shine a light
Let the darkness cover you while the stars are taking flight
Those words you say please take them away
Don’t you say that you’re leaving me because you’ve had enough of mediocrity
‘Cause I know that isn’t so
Perhaps I heard it on the radio
When the songs were playing only
When the songs were playing only
When the songs were playing only for me
For me, for me
