The Love Songs

Day is dawning and i must go
You're asleep but still i'm sure you'll know
Why it had to end this way
You and i had a groovy time
But i told you somewhere down the line
You would have to find me gone
I just have to move along

Just another town, another train
Waiting in the morning rain
Look in my restless soul, a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations

When you wake i know you'll cry
And the words i wrote to say goodbye
They won't comfort you at all
But in time you will understand
That the dreams we dreamed were made of sand
For a no-good bum like me
To live is to be free

Just another town, another train
Waiting in the morning rain
Look in my restless soul, a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations
Guess i will spend my life in railway stations

I've always hated my room, it's so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So i can't understand how it's happened, how everything's changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight

How i remember the first time we went to the movies
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And i waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter

You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight

And i feel so good
And i feel so right
And i know that you must have a lovelight
You've got lovelight
And i can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when you're not there
You've got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
You're shining like a star in the night
I won't let you out of my sight
I don't want to lose you, i don't want to lose your lovelight
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I don't want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night

under attack

Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance's running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so
(you know that i'm nobody's fool)
I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby and i think i must be

Under attack, i'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause i'm falling apart
Under attack, i'm taking cover
He's on my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should i want to, i'm not sure i know how

This is getting crazy, i should tell him so
Really let my anger show
'cause waiting at the answer to his questions is a definite "no!"
(i'm kinda flattered i suppose)
Guess i'm kind of flattered but i'm scared as hell
Staring down the deepest well
I hardly dare to think of what could happen, where i'd be if i fell

Under attack, i'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause i'm falling apart
Under attack, i'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should i want to, i'm not sure, i won't know how

Under attack, i'm being taken
About to crack, defences breaking
Won't somebody see and save a heart
Come and rescue me now 'cause i'm falling apart
Under attack, i'm taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now
Should i want to, i'm not sure, i won't know how

I, i've been in love before
I thought i would no more
Manage to hit the ceiling
Still, strange as it seems to me
You brought it back to me
That old feeling

I, i don't know what you do
You make me think that you
Possibly could release me
I think you'll be able to
Make all my dreams come true
And you ease me

You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something i'd been pleading for
I love you, i adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you

I, i'm gonna make you mine
You're gonna feel so fine
You'll never want to leave me
I feel you belong to me
Someday you will agree
Please, believe me

You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something i'd been pleading for
I love you, i adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you
Oh, i've been waiting for you

Na na na, na na na, na-na na
Na na na, na na na, na-na na
Na na na, na na na, na-na na-naa

Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor i'm to blame when all is said and done

In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor i'm to blame when all is said and done

It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed

I got appointments, work i have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
(ohhh) baby, i miss you so, i know i'm never gonna make it
Oh, i'm so restless, i don't care what i say
And i lose my temper ten times a day
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow i'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could take it)
How i fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even i could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(even i could see a light i think that i could make it)
Somehow i'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now i see them clearly, the things that i miss
(ohhh) baby, i feel so bad, i know i'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People i must write to, bills i must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow i'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could take it)
How i fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even i could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(even i could see a light i think that i could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could make it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could take it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could make it)

Even i could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(even i could see a light i think that i could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could take it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights i think that i could take it)

Even i could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(even i could see a light i think that i could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though i would have liked to begin
So much that i wanna say, but i feel unable
You leave and you slam the door
Like you've done many times before
And i cry and i feel so helpless

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Outside i can see the sun through the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
Sometimes when i just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And i cry and i feel like dying

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Daydreams of a better life, but i have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and i realise that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And it's never too late for changing

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
You and me, to the end
