Silverbird + Just a Boy

I`m leaving the smog below me now
I`m leaving my troubles on the ground
I`m watching those smokestacks just blaze away
The sky will be blue never grey

The future is filled with wasted time
I can`t see the road -- I`m going blind
I`m laughing at all of my future plans
Shining like gold in my hands

Isn`t it funny how you reach me
You know exactly what I`m thinking
You`re always helping me from sinking
It`s your way

Hello, this is London calling -- is my flight due
Hello, is there someway I can reach you
Isn`t it funny how you call me
You call me up while I am sleeping
You`re always helping me from sinking -- it`s your way

Now this is the end of all my dreams
The drumming has stopped behind my ears
There`s no looking back now -- I`m too far away
I`m shaking like mad in a daze. . .

Then out of the night you join me here
The people around me, they disappear
And I hear your voice, and you speak to my eyes
And everything comes alive

Another time, love
You know I can`t quite recognise your face, love
Although I feel I know you from someplace, love
Another time, love -- but not now

Another face, love
I`m sure I know the voice, but not the face, love
I know you think I know you but then you`re wrong, love
I don`t know, love, who I am

Y`see I`m lost...
And I don`t know who I am

Another town, love
Tomorrow night I play another town, love
The show keeps rolling on and so it goes, love
I don`t know, love where I`m bound

I must be going now
I`m sorry I`m unsure
I must be going now
Maybe we`ll meet again
Another time, love -- another town -- another place

Y`see I`m lost
And I don`t know who I am

You hold my life in your hands
You build me as if I were a king
Your heart does not understand
I give you my everything
Oh the night that started with wine
Is ending just like it was a dream
I held her glove in my hand
I gave her my everything
Drop back
She said to me go back
Drop back
I fail to see why I
Should drop back
I held the cards in my hand
They fooled me just a pack of lies
It seems they wrecked all my plans

God knows how I really tried
Oh that night that started with wine
It's ending just like it was a dream
I hold her glove in my hand
I gave her my everything
Drop back
She said to me go back
Drop back
I fail to see why I
Should drop back
Drop back
She said to me go back
Drop back
I fail to see why I
Should drop back

I paid all my dues
So I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I didn't know how to play
I've worked hard and failed
Now all I can say is
I threw it all away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, sail away
Ooh, well I know better now,
I know better now
Giving it all away
Oh oh, I now better now,
I know better now
I've given it all away
Went out in the world
Too much for my nerves
Well, only myself to blame
See, I was just a boy
And there was nobody else to blame
I've done all I can
Now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, yeah sail away
Oh, I know better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Oh oh, yeah yeah, I now better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now
I've given it all away
See I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Oh, I know better now
Giving it all away
I was just a boy

Well everybody knows down Ladbrook grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet

You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
But then the law man comes says move along
So you move along all day

Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
With my one man band

For three days now I haven't eaten at all
My my you must be getting so thin
And soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in

So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead

Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
With my one man band

And oh oh oh look at the rain falling
Oh oh oh look at it rain
Oh look at it rain

Well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
Nobody see him go
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead

Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
With my one man band

Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
With my one man band

Oh I'm a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh I'm a one man band

I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone
So naturally I thought I would take me a look insi-ide
I saw so much food, there was water comin' fro-om my eye-eye

Yeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar
An' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar

Then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair
Said before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire-aire

You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
I can't dance

I am a man of the road, a hobo by name
I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game
But if it's all the same to you, then yes I will try-y-y my hand
If you were as hungry as me then I'm sure you would u-understand

Hmmm, now wait a minute
Of course I can dance of course I can dance
I'm sure I can dance, I'm sure I can dance
I can dance

I can da-hance, I really hit the floor
Ah it feels good, look at me dancin'

I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa nova
A little Victor Silvester, and a Rudy Valentino
You should-a seen me movin', right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm comin' ba-ack for more

I can dance, oh yes, I can dance
Look at me dancin', the floors movin'
I feel good, I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance, I can dance, I can dance

Standing by the railway station
Waiting for your train
But the train never comes
No, the train never comes
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head

Running down the track
Trying to reach the end
But the end never comes
No, the end never comes
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head

I've been waiting for the sun
But it always hides behind the sky
And time rolls by before my eyes
That's the story of my life
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Aaah - aaah
Aaah
Aaah

I've been waiting for the sun
But it always hides behind the sky
And time goes by before my eyes
That's the story of my life
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Well I Think I'm going out of my

I think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my head

Farewell old friend
Leave me now be gone
My soul is weak
My mind is never strong
Watch my hands at night
And see the way they're shaking
See the endless road
See the way it's taking
And it's still the same old night
And it still just don't seem right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Writing down my life
On endless scraps of paper
Years of hanging round
A life of wasted labor
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt me once again
Watch my life unfold
And see the shape it's taking
Watch my fingers write
And see the way they're shaking
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt us once again
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
Ah, it's still the same old night
