Out Of The Blue

Starlight, i hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, i do, i need you, yes, i do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, i wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, i can see you're so near
And the you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that i told you so.
I want you, yes, i do, i need you, yes, i do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away.

(repeat & fade)

I was standing in the jungle, i was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, i saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
But what's that going on, i think i'm outta my head
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm.

Chorus:
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"come join us if you so desire."

Repeat chorus

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
"wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Repeat chorus

And they danced!!!

Pretty soon i knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

"wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Summer came and passed away,
Hardly seemed to last a day
But it's over and what can i do?
Music playin' in the air,
Silence on a darkened stair
'cos it's over and what can i do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
It's all over now
And the way you looked don't even mean i'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
It's all over.
Feelin' down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it's all gone,
Rolled out to sea.

Lookin' over sunny days,
Searchin' for the righteous wave
'cos it's over and what can i do?
Lookin' from this distant shore
You ain't sailin' by no more
'cos it's over and what can i do?

It's over, it's over, all over,
It's all over now
And the way you looked don't even mean i'm down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of.

Feelin' down, down, down,
It's all over.
Feellin' down, down, down.

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,
It's all over and what can i do?
Ah, it's over, it's over,
It's all over.

Oh, it's over, it's over.
Don't shed a tear for me, it's over,
Don't shed a tear although it's over.

When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
And the people of the city have all lost and won
In your city dress you stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
And the light that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street i wait
But i can't seem to get to you.

Well, you start to sway, check your cartier
'cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
So you move along where it's going on
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn
And the sun that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes that cry
Wishing and hoping
Oh...

Chorus:
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near.

Well you did your thing and you lost your wings
And you hurt so bad you lost everything
And the tears that fall on the city wall
Will fade away with the rays of morning light that shines
Paints a smile across your pretty face
I know
Everything is alright
Alright...

Repeat chorus

The city streets are empty now the lights don't shine no more
And so the songs are way down low turning turning turning
A sound that flows into my mind the echoes of the daylight
Of everything that is alive in my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.

The dying embers of the night a fire that slowly fades till dawn
Still glow upon the wall so bright burning burning burning
The tired streets that hide away from here to everywhere they go
Roll past my door into the day in my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.

Yes, i'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
Why you ain't comin' home if i'm turnin' to stone?
You've been gone for so long and i can't carry on,
Yes, i'm turnin', i'm turnin', i'm turnin' to stone.

The dancing shadows on the wall the two-step in the hall
Are all i see since you've been gone turning turning turning
Through all i sit here and i wait i turn to stone i turn to stone
You will return again some day to my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.

Pack up all your things
We're gonna be leaving
Sooner than i thought
Take the things you bought
Clouds are gathering.

Say goodbye to all your friends
We're gonna be sorry
For a while, that's how it goes
But then again, who knows
About the rain.

Chorus:
I'm steppin' out
I'm moving on
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone
I'm gonna be somebody...
Oh, i'm steppin' out.

Did you hear what he said?
He said they sold me down the river
They thought i was a fool
They said the rain would fall
What did they know?

Then i saw your face
And the song that you were singing
Though i thought i knew the words
The tune was quite absurd and out of key
Doo dah dah dee.

Repeat chorus

I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out.

Don't know where i'm going
Gonna see the world, gonna be somebody
Don't know where i'm going
I'm just steppin' out
I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out.

Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip,
She was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip.
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
And there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground
And gettin' higher higher.

Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea
When i saw her but she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat
And as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
Back to the city city.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin' you insane.

In the city city

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin' you insane.

I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place.
I waited for an hour, i never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
I just can't take anymore, i'm going in through the door
Into the city city.

I'll get you, yes, i'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, i'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, i'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, i'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, i'm gonna get you,
I'll get you, yes, i'm gonna get you,
Drivin' you insane.

Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin' you insane,
Drivin' you insane,
Drivin' you insane.

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, i never get back home
Yes, i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, i travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles
And i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Chorus:
Across the world i've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name.

I wouldn't change the things i do for anything
But i'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Repeat chorus

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet
They'll say "you won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone
'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

(concerto for a rainy day...)
(rain...)

I'm standing in the rain
I'm waiting all alone
I'm so tired
I wanna go home.

I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what do i get?

I'm standing in the rain
Can't seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.

I'm standing in the rain
It's teeming down on me
Cats & dogs
I wanna be free.

I'm standing in the rain
Doing my thing
I'm trying my best
What does it bring?
I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what does it get?

The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain
I tried to be so good this time
But here i am under the sky.

The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain.
