To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car. I took myself one Friday evening. To think on a son so deceiving. It's one drink down and another to go.. . He was married in haste to a woman unchaste.
Driftin' along with the wind, telling yourself you can't win. It's over and now we begin, oh yeah we are on the way. Light shining down from the east, bringing a love that won't cease.
On a night like this, I need your sweet kiss. Yeah it's only you that can heal me girl. Till there's no more rain, and there's no more pain. Oh yeah darlin' you take it all all away..
It's a dead-end job and the money is low. And the time goes by so slow. If I stay too long it could bring me down. So I might as well take another look around.
I like the trees and the birds and the bees. I'm a sucker for peace and quiet. But two weeks alone in this sweet little home. And I feel like starting a riot.
I was born a poor man's son, and followin' tradition. When I came of age I hit the road, and followed blind ambition. I served my time and payed my dues, now I'm sittin' pretty.
Night comes down and finds you alone. In a space and time of your own. Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.. . Down the street the neon light shines.
Each day you try on a different person. Trying to find out who you really are. Now I think I have a way of knowing. When I'm very close I'm not too far..
"Do it on the microphone, thank you, Gerald" (you have to turn it up way loud to hear this). . Sitting here is really bringing me down. I think I'll get up and go downtown.
Sing your song to me, my singing bird. Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard. While you're here tonight, we'll be as one. For tomorrow you will seek the sun..
Mr. Universe, can you help me please?. I'm only seven stone two. When I'm on the beach, the girls stay out of reach. They all want someone like you.. .
Moonlight and gold. Midsummer magic when the night turns to day. And songbirds greet the dawn. You lie awake. You watch and wonder while the moon fades away.
Well I was working for the taxman. Digging out the facts at the Inland Revenue. I was slowly going nowhere thinking it was somewhere. There was nothing I could do.
Metanoia. . I saw the light. I changed my world. I changed my heart. . We sing a song of repentance. A song of joy. We sing a song of repentance. A song of joy.
Oh, Mattie open up the door, that's right I'm home again. You've got a big surprise in store, turn 'round and count to ten. Wait 'til you see what I got you, well you'll say it's a magic thing.
Mary Skeffington, close your eyes. And make believe that you are just a girl again. Go to sleep tonight, dream of days. When you had something there to light the way..
Many times I've seen you. Each time you always act the same. You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed. I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth..
So long ago when our love was new. And the dreams that lovers dream still cast a spell. When we made love we were together more than we knew. And we gazed down deep into the wishing well..
Look over the hill and far away. We'll see the start of a brand new day. Heaven help us when it arrives. One more day with tears in our eyes. For the only one, lonely one.
Oh darlin' do not cry. These clouds will soon pass by. The moon up in the sky. Is crying, he feels just like you.. . The moonlight casts its spell. You know that all is well.
