Take on Me
|
|
We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, OK? Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends But I'll Be Stumbling away Slowly learning that life is OK. Say after me: "It's no better to be safe than sorry." Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two Oh, the things that you say Is it life or Just to play my worries away? You're all the things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two |

Cry Wolf
|
|
"Night I left the city, I dreamt of a wolf..." He came from where the winds are cold And truth is seen through keyholes ... strange longins never sleep Now he's come where no hearts beat Cry wolf Time to worry Cry wolf Time to worry You can start, but you cannot stop You give in, but you can't give up You can tell all your desperate jokes To a world that puts Love on hold Cry wolf Time to worry Cry wolf Time to worry now ... the sunken-in eyes And the pain in his cries A shape in the dark... Cry wolf Time to worry Cry wolf Time to worry now |

Touchy!
|
|
Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way I can't hear a word the waiter says She's looking older now... The color of her hair She walks into the room and pleased to find me there Me I'm touchy - Touchy you Me I'm touchy And you know what to do Me I'm touchy Touchy, touchy you Me I'm touchy and you know what to do Both of us together in a room by ourselves I sneeze to look around, but there's no escape What can I do, what can I say She's waiting for this moment to explain itself Me I'm touchy - Touchy you Me I'm touchy And you know what to do Me I'm touchy Touchy, touchy you Touching love is the best I can do Hey, this time you've gone too far You know how touchy we are Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way Now she reads me what the papers say The way she laughs at what I do I'm waiting for this moment to explain itself through |

You Are the One
|
|
You are the one who has done me Guess you knew from the start I call again, but there's no one in Don't know where, with whom you've been But I do Love you Anyway you want me to You are the one... now the state I'm in! Catching you was so hard I fought for you, did you let me win!? Don't even care, don't care where I've been But I do Love you Anyway you want me to I've done all I can do All the letters... I've sent through Put my life in the palms of your hands Maybe now you can see That it's got to be me But if you leave me I'll understand, yeah If you leave me, I'll understand You are the one who has done me Guess you knew from the start I call your friends, but there's no one in Catching you is so hard, you are the one! |

Manhattan Skyline
|
|
We sit and watch umbrellas fly I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry I hear myself say, "My boat's leaving now" ... so we shake hands and cry Now I must wave goodbye Wave goodbye You know I don't want to cry again Don't want to cry again I don't want to say goodbye Don't wanna cry again I don't wanna run away I don't want to race this pain I'll never see your face again Oh but how How can you say That I didn't try... You see things in the depths of my eyes That my love's run dry No... We leave to their goodbyes I've come to depend on the look in their eyes My blood's sweet for pain The wind and the rain bring back words of a song And they say wave goodbye Wave goodbye You know I don't want to fall again I don't wanna know this pain I don't want another friend I don't wanna try again Don't want to see you hurt Don't let me see you hurt I don't wanna cry again I'll never see your face again How can you say That I didn't try You know I did You see things in the depths of my eyes That my love's run dry (I don't wanna cry again...) ... So I read to myself A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons On the front page A black and white picture of Manhattan Skyline |

The Blood That Moves the Body
|
|
It's the way we feel Tonight As if it's all unreal All right My love, won't you come back to Our love, you know I'll react to The blood that moves my body Now covers the ground The blood that moves the body The blood that moves the body There's nowhere to go Tonight Lend some warmth to our cold And lonely lives Red stains on 'Eyes Of A Blue Dog' My pains fade as the interiors fog The blood that moves my body Now colours the ground The blood that moves the body The blood that moves the body Not long ago It hurt us so A tremble through our lives The love and care... The way we were Lost its way at nights It's the way we feel Tonight Lend some warmth to our cold And lonely lives My love, won't you come back to Our love, you know we'll react to The blood that moved our bodies Now covers the ground... Now covers the ground |

Early Morning
|
|
Early morning Eight o'clock precise I see the lonely August sun arise Say you know You will Move me like you do Out on the fields... I'm waiting the whole night through Early morning, early morning, yeah Ran the whole way Down to the tracks Through the doorway Then a last look back Say you know You will Save me like you do Out on the fields... I've waited the whole night through Early morning, early morning, yeah I climbed all the stairways To find the rooftop clear Got the shotgun lying with me here Say you know You will Move me like you do Out on the fields... You know how it feels, yeah Early morning, early morning, yeah Early morning Eight o'clock precise |

Hunting High and Low
|
|
Here I am And within the reach of my hands She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now Than the wildest dream could have seen her And I Watch her slipping away Though' I know I'll be hunting high and low High There's no end to the lengths I'll go to Hunting high and low High There's no end to lengths I'll go To find her again Upon this my dreams are depending Through the dark I sense the pounding of her heart Next to mine She's the sweetest love I could find So I guess I'll be hunting high and low High There's no end to the lengths I'll go to Hunting High and Low High Do you know what it means to love I'm hunting high and low And now she's telling me she's got to go away I'll always be hunting high and low Hungry for you Watching me tearing myself to pieces Hunting high and low High There's no end to the lengths I'll go to Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low |

Walked around no one around You were the one who taught me better This old town brings me down You were the one who told me You've got to Move to Memphis That's what I'll do Gonna move to Memphis and follow you Trace that highway Down to your doorway Gonna move to Memphis and be with you On the day you walked away I was the one who said You'd better stick around stay in town You were the one who told me You've got to Move to Memphis That's what I'll do Chase the shadow that follows you Trace that highway Down to your doorway Gonna move to Memphis And be with you I'm gonna be with you I'm gonna be with you Gonna move to Memphis Move to Memphis That's what I'll do Move to Memphis to be with you I'm gonna be with you I'm gonna be with you Gonna move to Memphis! |

I've Been Losing You
|
|
It wasn't the rain that washed away... Rinsed out the colours of your eyes Putting the gun down on the bedside table I must have realized It wasn't the rain That made no difference And I could have sworn it wasn't me Yet I did it all so coldly ... almost slowly Plain for all to see Oh c'mon please now Talk to me Tell me; things I could find helpful How can I stop now... Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I've been losing you I can still hear our screams competing You're hissing your s's like a snake Now in the mirror stands Half a man I thought no one could break It wasn't the rain That made no difference ... nervously drumming on:Run away But I want the guilt to get me Thoughts to wreck me Preying on my mind So, please now Talk to me Tell me; things I could find helpful For how can I stop now... Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I've been losing you |

The Living Daylights
|
|
Hey driver, where're we going I swear my nerves are showing Set your hopes up way too high The living's in the way we die Comes the morning and the headlights fade away Hundred thousand people... I'm the one they blame I've been waiting long for one of us to say Save the darkness, let it never fade away In the living daylights All right, hold on tight now It's down, down to the wire Set your hopes up way too high The living's in the way we die Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain Hundred thousand changes... everything's the same I've been waiting long for one of us to say Save the darkness, let it never fade away In the living daylights Comes the morning and the headlights fade away Hundred thousand people... I'm the one they frame In the living daylights |

Crying in the Rain
|
|
I'll never let you see The way my broken heart is hurting me I've got my pride and I know how to hide All my sorrow and pain I'll do my crying in the rain If I wait for stormy skies You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes You'll never know that I still love you so Though the heartaches remain I'll do my crying in the rain Raindrops falling from heaven Could never take away my misery But since we're not together I pray for stormy weather To hide these tears I hope you'll never see Someday when my crying's done I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun I may be a fool But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain |

I Call Your Name
|
|
We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning We said our lines Then kissed And it was over Those pronouncements had such weight I guess they made us hesitate Hesitate When she moved her hips And swayed in my direction I thought we could make it yet And beat the isolation But in that gentle dark Man, we tore ourselves apart Through fire and rain Through wilderness and pain Through the losses, through the gains On love's roller coaster train I call your name ... We used to laugh Is the fire dying, babe It hurts to ask Let me hold you for awhile |

Stay on These Roads
|
|
The cold has a voice It talks to me Stillborn, by choice It airs no need to hold Old man feels the cold... Oh baby don't 'cause I've been told Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on... my love We shall meet, I know I know Where joy should reign These skies restrain 'Shadow your love...' The voice trails off again Old man feels the cold Oh baby don't 'cause I've been told Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on... my love You feel so weak, be strong Stay on, stay on We shall meet, I know I know I know, my love, I know Feel the cold Winter's calling on my home |

Train of Thought
|
|
He likes to have the morning paper's Crossword solved Words go up words come down Forwards backwards twisted round He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase Disappears into an office It's another working day And his thoughts are full of strangers Corridors of nked lights And his mind once full of reason Now there's more than meets the eye Oh, a stranger's face he carries with him He likes a bit of reading on the subway home A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows At home a house awaits him, He unlocks the door Thinking once there was a sea here But there never was a door And his thoughts are full of strangers And his eyes to numb to see And nothing that he knows of And nowhere where he's been Was ever quite like this And his thoughts... And at heart He's full of strangers Doging on his train of thought Train of thought |

The Sun Always Shines on TV
|
|
Touch me How can it be Believe me The sun always shines on TV Hold me Close to your heart Touch me And give all your love to me to me... I reached inside myself And found nothing there To ease the pressure off My ever worried mind All my powers waste away I fear the crazed and lonely looks The mirror's sending me These days Please don't ask me to defend The shameful lowlands Of the way I'm drifting Gloomily through time Touch me I reached inside myself today Give all your love Thinking there's got to be some way To keep the troubles distant Hold me Close to your heart Touch me And give all your love to me |
