More song lyrics 8

It was a warm afternoon
The last day in June
And the sun was a demon
One ten in the shade
As we drank lemonade
And the pavement was steaming.
I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking...
She was thirty one
I was seventeen
I knew nothing about love
She knew everything
So I sat down beside her
On a front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring...

On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us
And he began to speak

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces

One of these days you're gonna be sorry
Cause your game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really tryin'
Each time that my kisses stray
Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me too
And no matter what I do
I could never disguise all my little white lies
Cause the night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes

I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind
Blowing down from every mile I've ever been
Calling me out on some road that just won't end
Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again
A thousand nights a thousand towns I took the bows
But there is no compensation for me now
Out along the highway where the west was won
No matter how fast I ride or far I run

I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight
The way we used to do
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you....
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way
Of showing I love you
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you.

Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me

Call out the instigator because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And we know it's right
We all know that it's right
We have got to get together
We have got to get together now.

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cause the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

I got a long way to go
And a long memory
I've been searching for an answer
Always just out of reach
Blood on the floor
Sirens repeat
I've been searching for the courage
To face my enemies
When they turn down the lights
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard
Living in a suit
But he does say what I tell him
Even though it isn’t welcome
He just doesn't have the freedom
To refuse
He will speak these words of wisdom
Like a sage, a man of vision
Though he knows he’s really nothing
But the brief elaboration of a tube
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it’s better
Than before

… If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
… Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
… Why not think about times to come?
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

You want me to leave
You want me to stay
You ask me to come back
You turn and walk away
You wanna be lovers
And you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience
You're nearing the end
One of these days
You're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on
Has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr
With no one, no say
Oh my, my baby
Before it's too late

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eyes
Maybe you'll see the light

Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs
Still smoulder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us
Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theatre with me

What do you do when it's falling apart
And you knew it was gone from the very start?
Do you close your eyes
And dream about me?
A girl in love with a gleam in her eye
I was a younger boy all dressed in white
We're older now
I bet you still think about me
I remember we learned about love
In the back of a Chevrolet
Well, it felt so good to be young
It feels like yesterday
When you close your eyes
Do you dream, dream about me?
When you close your eyes
Do you dream about me?
Do you still dream about me?

She's the sunset's shadows
She's like Rembrandt's light
She's the history that's made at night
She's my lost companion
She's my dreamin' tree
Together in this brief eternity
Summer days
Winter snow
She's all things to behold
She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti fallin' down all night
She's my kind of rain

Her love rains down on me as easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea
I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness the earth was on fire

She could take it back, she might take it back some day

So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot keep
Then I hear their laughter rising, rising from the deep
And I make her prove her love for me, I take all that I can take
And I push her to the limit to see if she will break

She might take it back, she could take it back some day

Can you hear me?
Am I really coming through?
Why do your eyes seem to dance away?
I know what's right for you, haven't I always?
I need you more than I can say
My love is running deeper than the night
Stronger than the north wind blowing
It's a fire burning bright
And it's always been this way

Under the pale moon
For so many years I wondered who you are
How could someone like you bring me joy
Under the pale moon
When i see a lot of stars
Oh enough is enough

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign

And when I see the sign
That points one way
The lot we used to pass by
Every day
Just walk away, Renée
You won't see me
Follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same
You're not to blame

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Oh, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

You don't have to say a word
I can see it in your eyes
I know what you wanna say
It's so hard to say goodbye
I can hold back my tears
And try to be strong
While our love is falling apart
I know what I'll say
If you walk away
But what do I do?
What do I do with my heart?
