Got to get back to the telephone. Make some money from a complete unknown. I know everything that Ive got to say. I know cause Im a good businessman. .
I saw her from a distance. As she walked up to the wall. In her hand she held some flowers. As her tears began to fall. . She took out pen and paper. As to trace her memories.
I just spent an unusual evening. At a banquet that still won't digest. Watching this year's high school heroes. Get awarded for what they do best. . There's a letter for the one that jumped highest.
We went to school wrapped up in cotton wool. Dreaming bout the day Id leave. I couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't wait to lay it out. All of those bad memories.
She leaves home at eight, a little bit late. A little bit tired of it all, she unlocks the doors. And does so much more than what she gets credit for.
The New Year's Eve, we did the town, the day we tore the goal post down. We'll have these moments to remember. The quiet walk,s the noisy fun, the ballroom prize we almost won.
(Egan). . Nothing is lost and nothing's gained,. It's the same old situation again,. No, I can't give or take anymore.. . Gets so lonely there's really nothing left to say,.
I was alone, I was so tired. Down to my bones. And you know everything. Every little moment had lost its ring. . I found my way to you, you came right out the blue.
My hometown's being circled by and by. Excuses will only wear me down. The tension's tied tight stealing all the air. Which back will break first. Back will break first.
(Rafferty/Egan). . I was alone, I was so tired, down to my bones.. And you know everything, every little moment had lost its ring.. . (chorus). I found my way to you, you came right out the blue,.
Long distance information get me Memphis Tennessee. Help me find the party try to get in touch with me. She could not leave her number but I know who placed the call.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained. Took us all the way to New Orleans.
Riding on the subway watching all the people stare. Everyone just listens, they won't do any talking. Oh-no, oh-no. . They just sit there waitin', waitin' with their eyes.
The sky is growing grey. As we begin another day. And my girl keeps getting sicker and sicker. . Her skin is growing pale. Her spirit starts to fail. While her lips are getting thinner and thinner.
My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike. My hands're all dirty from working on my little boy's bike. The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him.
Standing in the subway watching all the people stare,. Everyone just listens they won't do any talking,. Oh no, Oh no.. . They just sit there waiting, waiting with their eyes,.
I was sinking deep in sin, far from that peaceful shore. Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more. But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry.
(Rafferty/Egan). . Riding on the subway watching all the people stare,. Everyone just listens, they won't do any talking, oh no, whoa no.. They just sit there waitin', waitin' with their eyes.
I can tell by your expression. That theres something in the air. You think Im holdin out on you. You think that I dont care. . Oh, no, dont get me wrong.
Even as greatest He was. There we those who wanted to kill Him. And He knew it and told His disciples. That He was going to be betrayed by one of the twelve.
