Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I’m leavin’ my life in your hands
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
I threw a wish in the well,
Don’t ask me, I’ll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you’re in my way
I’d trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn’t looking for this,
But now you’re in my way
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don’t have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
I need a lover that won’t drive me crazy
Some girl to thrill me and then go away
I need a lover that won’t drive me crazy
Some girl that knows the meaning of a
Hey hit the highway
She drives me crazy,
Uh uh,
Like no-one else,
Uh uh,
She drives me crazy,
And I can’t help myself,
Uh uh.
I can’t get,
Any rest,
People say,
I’m obsessed
I’ve got a pocket full of holes
Head in the clouds the king of fools
You’ve got a ribbon of rainbows
The sun in your eyes burning through
Could be I’m happy and sad
Could be I’m losing my head over you
Well, you’ve gotta be crazy, baby
To want a guy like me, yeah
You’ve gotta be out of your mind,
Crazy
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
Try to remember
The kind of September
When grass was green
And corn was yellow.
Memories
Light the corners of my mind.
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were.
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind.
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were.
Memory, All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what I am
You’ll have to take me just the way that you find me
What’s gone is gone and I do not give a damn
Empty stomach, empty head
I got empty heart and empty bed
I don’t remember
I don’t remember
I don’t remember, I don’t recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don’t remember, I don’t recall
I got no memory of anything
-anything at all
Coronet Blue
Coronet Blue
Deep down inside my brain
I keep hearing that wild refrain
Coronet Blue
No other clue
I know that this must be
The thing that can set me free
For I was born just yesterday
Lonely as a misty river
Always a’ moving like a river
If I linger, I will die
And so I go my lonely way
Every journey filled with danger
Even to myself a stranger
Wondering who am I
Moon River
Wider than a mile
Up a lazy river where the robin’s song
Awakes the bright new morning
Where we can move along
Blue skies up above, everyone’s in love
Up a lazy river, how happy you could be
Up a lazy river with me
Touching the last of what is past
Moving silent water fell the first that comes.
Slow and winding, flowing free
Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums.
Trust the shallow virgin stream
Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes.
Moving highway, twisting byway
Can’t turn back.
Shining in the summer rain
Rain that’s caught in its flow.
Spreading, shining, silver lining
Gold on black.
Echoes moods of the moon and sun
Sun that shines from below.
Makes a soft and easy way
Left to choose its path will always be a friend.
Now, won’t you bat it down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
Go on, I’ve had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
She loves you, Big River, more than me.
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I’m gonna sit right here until I die.
I’m not scared of dying,
And I don’t really care.
If it’s peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide,
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide.
