TIME AND AGAIN

Time and again
You tell me
You are my friend
Time and again
I know you lie
Time and again
You tell me
It won’t end
But your kiss
Gives your goodbye

Time and again
You give me
A part of you
Time and again
You tell lies
Time ad again
You tell me
We aint through
But I see the
Lies in your eyes

Time and again
You leave me
To my tears
Time and again
Wipe them away
Time and again
I feel that
I’ll beat back my fears
But I need you
Another day.

HOLD ON TIGHT TO YOUR DREAMS

Hold on tight to your dreams
Hold on tight to your dreams
Whenever others get you down
Wear a smile don’t wear a frown
Hold on tight to your dreams

Hold on tight to your heart
Hold on tight to your heart
Whenever others get the breaks
Just keep on don’t feel the ache
Hold on tight to your heart

Hold on tight to yourself
Hold on tight to yourself
Whenever others give you pain
Remember you will win again
Hold ontight to yourself

Hold on tight to your dreams
Hold on tight to your dreams
Whenever others get you down
Wear a smile don’t wear a frown
Hold on tight to your dreams.

WALK WITH ME

Walk with me in the morning
Walk with me through the fears
Walk with me hear me calling
Walk with me through the years

Talk with me through your dark times
Talk with me through the light
Talk with me in the sunshine
Talk with me through the night

Stay with me through the nightime
Stay with me through the fears
Stay with me say you’ll be mine
Stay with me through the years

Live with me through my lifetime
Live with me through my life
Live with me make the sunshine
Live with me be my wife.

SINGING IN THE SUN RISE ON THE STREETS OF SOHO

I only met you
Late last night
But now it seems
Things are goin right
Today we walked
And you know
Singing in the sun rise
On the streets of SoHo

The city streets
Were very still
And we had
Some time to kill
I didn’t want
You to go
Singing in the sun rise
On the streets of SoHo

So now we part
But not for long
I’ve got your number
I know your song
We’ll sing again
Long way to go
Singing in the sun rise
On the streets of SoHo.

EVEN NOW

There were many things I didn’t tell you
There were many things I left unsaid
And there were times I didn’t hold you
Times when I loved myself instead
And now times have come between us
And you think of me as just a friend
And you don’t know that I loved you
And that your leaving was me end

Even now you don’t know I miss you
And we have gone our separate ways
In quiet times I think about you
And your memory haunts my days

You’ve made a new life far away from me
And we have gone our different ways
But I think about you, can’t you see
That you haunt my nights and days
I have sort of learnt to live without you

And I have learnt how to live again
And although I have a home and lover
I wish you were more than a friend.

IN MY DREAMS I’M A COWBOY

In my dreams I’m a cowboy
Riding out on the plain
Always searching for you
Will I see you again
Searching always searching
Each city town and state
Searching always searching
Along the inter state

In my dreams I’m a soldier
Fighting a lost war
Always searching for you
Behind every door
Searching always searching
Each shattered house I see
Searching always searching
To bring you back to me

In my dreams I’m a drifter
Careless of my fate
Will I ever find you
Will I be too late
Searching always searching
Though the bound’ries have been crossed
Searching always searching
But inside I know you’re lost
Inside I know you’re lost.

BORN AGAIN

In the dark night of the soul
I died a million deaths
In the cold morning light
I drew my own last breath
In the cold writers gloom
As the fading embers die
I’m alone in my room
And I start t cry

In the sunset of my days
I faded into night
I never knew the way
To tell wrong from the right
As the last glimmer died
And the sun sank from the sky
I knew that I had lied
But I didn’t understand why

But now I see the dawn
Hope lights every room
Shadows chased away
No more smothering gloom
Now I can see the light
That shines from your face
I know this love is right
I know peace in this place.

THE FLOWERS DIE

The flowers die
And petals fall
The shadows flicker
On the wall
I thought that I
Had got it all
Then you went away

The birds fly south
The summer dies
Love light flickers
In your blue eyes
I heard again
Your sweet sweet lies
Then you went away

The leaves turn brown
And then they fall
I thought that I
Had got it all
I gave my love
My heart and soul
And then you went away.

IN THE QUIET OF MY LONELY ROOM

In the quiet of my lonely room
I sit every night
And all the thoughts that fill my dreams
Cry to see the light
And every dream is filled with you
I wonder where you’ve gone
I see your face every day
Your with me all night long

It’s two long years since you left
But you never left my heart
Two long years when you and I
Have lived our lives apart
Has it now come to closing
Shall we let it slip away
Have all the things I meant to you
Just melted in the day.

QUIET DAYS IN AVALON

You and me
In our old car
No one thought
We’d go so far
Days of heat
Nights of fire
Life was sweet
Couldn’t get no higher

The summer heat went on and on
Nights were short and days were long
I remember now that you’ve gone
Those quiet days in Avalon

You and me
On the road
Help each other
Carry the load
Picking grapes
Along the way
Bought the gas
Took us away

You and me
Couldn’t last
All too good
All too fast
You never said
Just what was wrong
When I awoke
You were gone

Now I cry
The empty night
Searched for you
In mornings light
You and me
We’re hand in glove
Only you
Have my love.

NIGHTS OF STARS AND LAUGHTER

The nights of stars and laughter
They simply slipped away
In the cold hard light of day
Into a place I couldn’t go
You lived behind a closing door

The daylight shows just what I lost
And how love, it turned to loss
And it was all at such a cost
I walk in the mem’ry of your face
But of our love there is no trace

And in my lonely room I cry
And tears fall from my eyes
Remembering no goodbyes
I live my life in the mem’ry of you
It’s all I can do now I’ve lost you.

FIVE HUNDRED MILES BEHIND ME

I think I’ll drive South again
It’s been five long years without my friend
I’ve been in the City far too long
Put the Chevy on the blacktop back to
Where I belong

Five hundred miles behind me
Two hundred still to go
Me and my Chevy
We’re really on a roll
Goin back to the place
Where I left her behind
Goin back to the place
And I’m goin to make her mine

Left that girl one dark night
Five long years ago
She said I’d got no future
It’d be better if I go
I went out into the night
Got no place to call my home
And so me and my old car
We drove up to Chicago

What I didn’t know then
And I’ve only just heard
Was that girl carried my baby
And was getting real scared
Her and my boy are living
Right high upon a hill
That rises above the river
That flows thru Nashville

I know she married a rich guy
He’s got a private plane
But oh my sweet baby
I hear you live in pain
I hear he is cold
And much too old for you
Any my boy needs a daddy
And girl I need you.

ONLY TILL DAWN

I thought I knew all there was to know
I thought I knew it all
But you came and you didn’t go
It was you who made me whole

Only till daybreak
Only till dawn
Lie here beside me
Silent and warm
Only till daybreak
Only till dawn
Then you must go
Back to your home

I grew to love the tender nights
I grew to love you
But now he’s back and you tell me
Our loving nights are thru

And all I need is a little strength
And all I need is you
Give me the strength to keep you here
‘Cos all I need is you.
