Only Time Will Tell
You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{Only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell…
Heat of the Moment
I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You can't concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
Wildest Dreams
They decorated all the generals
Who fought the wars behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy put them way behind the times
Insanity has found its way to TV screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
I never would have thought this in my
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs
Clips and rushes come from who knows where
From Washington across to California
With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square
We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Fly away...
No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams
They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformists anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in my
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Fly away...
No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams...
Don't Cry
Hard times you had before you I knew when I first saw you You girl you’ve always been mistreated, cheated So leave it all behind you It took so long to find you I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh Don't cry now that I’ve found you Don't cry take a look around you Don't cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little Darling please don't cry I knew I’d never doubt it I was so sure about it Don't think of all that’s been before I'll hear you when you’re calling I'll catch you when you’re falling Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh Don't cry now that I've found you… Don't cry now that I've found you…
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
I saw you standing hand in hand And now you come to me the solitary man And I know what it is that made us live Such ordinary lives The where to go the who to see No one could sympathize The Smile Has Left Your Eyes The Smile Has Left Your Eyes And I've become a rolling stone I don't know where to go or what to call my own But I can see that black horizon glooming ever close to view It's over now it's not my fault See how this feels for you The Smile Has Left Your Eyes The Smile Has Left Your Eyes But I never thought I'd see you Standing there with him So don't come crawling back to me Now it's too late you realized Now there's no one can sympathize Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes Now it's too late you realized Now there's no one can sympathize Now it's too late you realized Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes
Days Like These
The sun was shining The sky was crying It just tore apart And down came the rain And I was soaking Yeah I was freezing But I was feeling No kind of pain Come a fireball I held it in my hand You see before you A man who's known greatness I had a vision A revelation I took a look inside of me And I am a sensation Days like these I feel like I can change the world Days like these I feel like I can change the world It's either easy Or it's impossible And if you ain't got it You ain't never gonna get it But once you find it You gotta grab it Reach down your own throat And yank it to the surface That may be brutal May be gory But whatever else it is It's my story And I believe it Yeah, I can see it I sing it out, shout it out Gimme death or glory Days like these I feel like I can change the world Days like these I feel like I can change the world Days like these, days like these I think I'll move a mountain or two Days like these, days like these Anything you want you know I'll get it for you The sun was shining I was crying I saw a thousand people Singing in the rain And I was thinking About the Indians And how they say true wisdom Only comes from pain Come a rumbling Humbling feeling Like things will never Ever be the same But what doesn't kill you Only makes you stronger Today I'm strong enough And anyway, I love the rain Days like these I feel like I can change the world Days like these I feel like I can change the world
Prayin' 4 a Miracle
I've been flat out of luck Spent my very last buck Can't sink no lower than this I'm so broken inside Had to spit out my pride This ain't no way to exist Every place that I go Everyone that I meet Sees me like I'm some dog in the street And it's bringin' me down to my knees Now I'm prayin', prayin' Prayin' for a miracle I'm prayin', prayin' Prayin' for a miracle Prayin' for a miracle Since I left you that night Less than nothing's gone right Living this hell that I made So I'm back at your feet I'm admitting defeat Girl, I never felt so afraid Just give back my life I admit my mistakes Now I'm willing to do whatever it takes I'm begging you now, can't you see That I'm prayin', prayin' Prayin' for a miracle Prayin', prayin' Prayin' for a miracle Prayin' for a miracle Don't walk away 'Cause I know I'm still worth savin' Can you forgive the way I turned my back on you And I'm prayin', prayin' Prayin' for a miracle Prayin', prayin' Prayin' for a miracle…
Am I in Love?
Standing there I've been watching you All alone Your face says it all Desperately I need to talk to you Can you see me Will you answer my call Am I In Love Or is it the magic of tonight Am I In Love Or is it the magic of tonight And will it be right Tomorrow morning Hold me now I feel you close to me It's so good, so good I want more Something stirs Deep inside of me Face to face as we move My life is yours Just one kiss Remember this And it will stay with you Forever
Summer (Can't Last Too Long)
I'm looking at your photograph The picture on my wall Life's too short for memories I can't have it all You gave me the run-around So we go our own sweet ways I'll be making the most of summertime Crazy nights and lazy days Summer Can't Last Too Long Summer Can't Last Too Long Spring, Winter or Fall But out of them all The Summer Can't Last Too Long One night can seem a lifetime And I've got no more time to lose Sunshine on my shoulders Kissing away my blues Looking to the future Searching for the girl Not too much like the last one Just the prettiest in the world Summer Can't Last Too Long Summer Can't Last Too Long Spring, Winter or Fall But out of them all The Summer Can't Last Too Long Yeah, yeah
Voice of America
I heard you on the radio Some other time From some forgotten studio Way down the line So long, so long I've waited now To hear you again That song, that song will still remain Become an old friend And now, the tears are in my eyes The sound you can't disguise The truth comes back from lies And all I want to hear Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America And then you came in stereo Calling to me And so I watch the videos Across the T.V. That sound, still ringing in my ears From a decade ago Around, around my head, the sound from my radio I thought, that after all these years The tears, the growing fears That I would never hear Never again Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America
