Eede/MacMichael. . I won't wait for you, i won't wait for you. in the morning. 'cause the last thing that i want. is to see you cry. . and i won't ask of you, and i won't ask of you.
Eede. . And though the fires are burning. under the pillars of learning. i hear the wind is still howling. "go home". and looking out of your window. you see a brave new tomorrow.
Believe me when I say to you that every word is true. Oh, that a change is goin' to come. You can hear it in the broadcast on your radio. . Ooh, why are you runnin'? Was it somethin' that somebody said?.
Eede. . It's a classic situation. Boy meets girl meets new temptation go. I demand an explanation. But you keep losing concentration so. So you tell him those little white lies again.
Eede. . Run Sweet Auburn find your face. Anotheer crowd another place, you ain't changed a thing. 'Cos you're the girl who used to smile. Stayed up all night on the crooked mile, that's how it used to be.
Don't let love let you down. It's been fine up to now. Sahara, I just walked into your world. Sahara, don't walk out on me now. . Don't let time tie you down.
Eede/MacMichael. . It's so hard, there's no words. When I think about you baby. No moves can undo, what I think bout you baby. You're shooting high and reached your sky.
Reach for the sky, babe. Make it to heaven. Before your dreams grow old. . Reach for the sky, babe. It's over your shoulder. Reach for your dawn's own light.
I have learnt through all my past mistakes. Not to let the hurdles sap my energy. Time will tell and time is all it takes. You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me.
Little Johnny's painting in his picture book. Pinning all his hopes on toy balloons. But no one taught him how to sing Jerusalem at school. Someone's always dicking with the tunes.
You say you feel all alone tonight. Just pick up the phone and call. You say that you don't need anybody. So there's nobody takin' you home. . Whenever you need someone.
Eede. [Song performed live during the Broadcast era]. . It doesn't really matter what you think of him. It couldn't happen to a nicer boy. Silver charms, golden opportunities.
Put it down to the fighting. Put it down to the fools who play in the game. I'm picking up second sight. I'm picking up tired ways. But you better believe it.
Eede/MacMichael. . Makes her entrance through the door. Everybody knows the score. And you can feel her body move. You've been here once before. You got burned once too often.
Too many times have I told you, feel your way. If it's question of answers, then have your say. Don't go giving me reasons, we all have a price. And in that moment of indecision, you'll never understand why.
You can stab my back, you can steal my flag. But it's alright. Little sticks and stones, break my brittle bones. But I'm alright. Every single day is a little step closer to my new heaven.
Catch my breath, close my eyes. Don't believe a word. Things she said, overheard. Something wrong inside. . It's you and admit it. Then you know you're in it.
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight. It must have been something you said. I just died in your arms tonight. . I keep looking for something I can't get.
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight. It must have been something you said. I just died in your arms tonight. . I keep looking for something I can't get.
MacMichael. . Don't talk about commitment. don't talk about it here. don't talk about the russians. don't mention your fears. don't talk about the black man.
