The heat of the day begins to die. The faintest breeze comes drifting by. And you and I we watch the clouds roll by. All alone beneath the starless summer sky.
(m. crenshaw). . Somewhere down the line. It's gonna be more than fine. These days won't even cross our minds. Somewhere down the line. The months go one by one.
(m. crenshaw). . The dead of night and I'm all alone, yeah. I got my hand on the telephone. I've got to get ahold of you, 'cause when I do. I tell you something's gonna happen.
Some folks live by a big blue ocean. Some folks live in the center of town. Some folks live without any notion. Me, I'm just tryin' to live your love down.
Well, someone told me, tried to tell me. It sounded backwards and upside down. Someone told me something. That really messed my head around. . And I wondered sadly.
I can't stand to see you sad. I can't bear to hear you cry. If you can't tell me what you need. All I can do is wonder why. . Someday, someway. Someday, someway, yeah now.
(marshall crenshaw ). . I'm so bewildered when I think about you. How can you mean all the things that you do?. Well baby. Somebody, somebody like you.
Right, no warning. None at all. Just the word, goodbye, written backwards. On the wall, yeah. . Now my anger. Is in overdrive. So down the road, I'm bound.
(diane warren). . For a while I've been so unlucky. Always stumbling around in circles. But I must've stumbled into something. Look at me am I really alone with you.
(b. cason, t. moon). . Lay down your arms (soldier of love). And surrender to me (sha la la). Lay down your arms (soldier of love). And love me peacefully (sha la la la) yeah (sha la).
My girl Betty she's always into something new. She says, "Lay here beside me until the darkness is through". She's got a secret but I could never find a clue.
(m. crenshaw, l. preston). . Steady she goes. When she walked in time froze. Faces turned around to see. She's a glittering prize to all of the guys. Who will her next fool be?.
Well, now baby's gone out of control. Body and soul. She's got to cut loose living only for the sound. Of baddest sounds around. . And baby's spent all of her dough.
(m. crenshaw). . When we walk together down the street. Drawing fire from every eye we meet. Ain't gonna bother me or you. If we shake up their minds for a moment or two.
Well I've got a new job in a gray office tower. And I'm stuck here for around another hour. Wearing a dark frown. Watching the second hand go 'round. .
All of a sudden in the wrong place and time. I hear an echo in the back of my mind. Of all the tears that I've wasted on you. And all of the things that we used to do.
Whenever idleness is making me insane. Then I feel, I should be getting to train on the double. Here comes trouble. . I hit the city and my head is a reelin'.
(m. crenshaw). . You got my heart there's no doubt, thought I was smart. Now I've gotta laugh about how much I didn't know. Just a little while ago. You were someone that I could call a friend.
I had a strange dream one time. There was you, Bobby Vinton and me. In a hotel ballroom full of marble and mahogany. Somebody shouted, "Let the joy begin".
(sylvester bradford, al lewis). . I'm all alone, so come on over baby right now, right now. I'm all alone, so come on over baby right now, right now. Well now don't fool around child, don't you let me down,.
