There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend. But she wonders why she can't make any friends. From her garden she could see me. In her silver-clad bikini.
It's a lesson too late for the learning. Made of sand, oh it's made of sand. In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning. In your hand, in your hand.
Did you meet the lady who said she could fly. She broke off her wings when she fell from the sky. The effort was brave and she gave a sigh. Now I'll sail through the sky on my own, my oh my.
You couldn't make it easy if you tried. So I'm gonna save it for the girl outside. I'll take her on a magic carpet ride. We could walk the clouds together.
I wait till everyone's asleep. Then out into the night I creep. No one can see me now. Or hear me running, soundlessly. . The moon's the only light I need.
I see the early glow, I hear you say hello. I watch the shadows fall, I don't see you at all. It's a lie I don't believe it's so, it's a lie. I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane I hear you say goodbye, I see a tear in your eye.
Monday. Late again today. He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry. He'd have to hurry out to the bus. . Tuesday. Horace was so sad. He'd never had a girl that he could care for.
She had a birthday yesterday she cried. Took off her glasses let her hair down cried. She told them all at work about the day. How it is no-one came?.
My Lord King. You stoop to betray your own people. And even in the eyes of God. Do you not relent?. . I am therefore bound by no other course. I shall raise an army.
Hello, how are you?. Have you been alright through all those lonely. Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?. That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything.
Hello, how are you?. Have you been alright through all those lonely. Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?. That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything.
Tears in your life. Nothing but tears in your life. They come to you in the night. Tears in your life. . Softly they call. Gathering slowly they fall.
The stars that shine so brightly. They call to me. I dream of how it might be. Somewhere far away. . On, take me on and on. (On and on and on). On, until the world has gone.
She was wearing her favorite dress. She was waving a blue handkerchief. She was laughing aloud in the corner of the room. But she was dancing alone. .
Manhattan, are you up or down. (I feel like dancing). Manhattan, are you still around. (I'm only asking). The city cries itself to sleep. There's no more traffic in the streets.
Open your mind to the night. And let it all in, then we'll begin. Give me your hand for a while. I'll take you in style and show you the world. I don't lie all the time.
You need some time alone, I need to stop before I fall. Back to the part I hate, back to the things I've done before. . Still I walk along with no sense of where I've gone.
I sit on the edge. I'm scared to look down. I look away for a second. And I see you shut ourselves in. . And are you aware. There's a rift between us?.
You didn't aground in this flag-wavin. I saw you waiting for the train. And you disappeared. Your face pressed up to the window. You went so far away.
