I wait for sundown on the fire escape. And watch the passing cars downstairs. I'm high above Korean groceries. A sublet castle in the air. . It's down to cigarettes and rosaries.
Life is just beginning to begin again. I'm hoping that you've saved the best 'til last. You're lying on a stretcher in a corridor. Taking in a slideshow of the past.
You tell me to be strong. You tell me to be strong. Goodbye ain't no reason to cry. It aint no big deal. You say I'll get along. Sure I'll get along. You're so nonchalant.
The best nights are the simplest. Red wine, nude lips and a simple kiss. Yeah, lets test the waters. Love makes a splash. And you too thick to skinny dip.
There is a room that you just now walked out of. It has everything in it but you. There's a mirror that knew what you looked like. And a door that has ruined the view.
No guardian angel looking down on me tonight. I'm on the streets again. And I can't tell wrong from right. I'm on the run from love. . But I don't know what I'm running for.
I took a deep breath and I just stood there staring. It could have been stupid but I was past caring. It all seemed to depend on one little kiss. Oh but who would have thought it would turn out like this.
You always give me something. To help me understand. Turn those tracks around me, one more time. But all you give, is killing me. . I can't turn around.
Dark the night and long til day. Do not bid us further stray. Dark the night and long til day. Do not bid us further stray. . Now the sun it does decline.
I looked over my shoulder. Straight into your eyes. As you stood in my shadow. In some loud disguise. You were lookin' straight through me. Like a piece of glass.
I met ray davies in a danish airport. Turned out to be a real nice guy. He said "keep writing your songs, man. As long as you can". And I think that was good advice.
[Verse 1:]. Ask, it shall be given to you*. Seek, and you will find. Knock and the door will open. And that's a promise. . [Verse 2:]. He said He'll finish the work He started in you.
People talking. And they're saying that you're leaving. So unhappy. With the way that you've been living. . We always wish for money. We always wish for fame.
Little fly, your summers play. My thoughtless hand. Has brushed away. And ended your day. . Am I not a fly like you?. Are you not a man like me?. Oh, I dance and drink and sing.
There are so many sides to every story. And this is mine. A dirty pair of hands sometimes has to come clean. And now is the time. I just couldn't see love's great defection.
