Take the last train to Clarksville and I’ll meet you at the station.  
You can be there by 4.30  
Cause I made the reservation.

Take me in, into your darkest hour  
And I’ll never desert you  
I’ll stand by you.

Love hurts  
But sometimes it’s a good hurt  
And it feels like I’m alive

Day after day, love turns gray  
Like the skin of a dying man.  
Night after night, we pretend its all right  
But I have grown older and  
You have grown colder and  
Nothing is very much fun any more.  
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.  
I feel cold as a razor blade,  
Tight as a tourniquet,  
Dry as a funeral drum.

Oh, to die of kisses  
ecstacies and charms  
pavements of poets will write  
that I died in nine angels arms  
and they all were smiling

</div>

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight  
It must have been something you said  
I just died in your arms tonight  
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight  
It must have been some kind of kiss  
I should have walked away  
I should have walked away.

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine  
I keep my eyes wide open all the time  
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds  
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

Makin’ a living the old hard way  
Takin’ and giving by day by day

Draggin’ the line (draggin’ the line)

It’s kind of a drag  
when your baby don’t love you,  
It’s kind of a drag  
when you know she’s been untrue.  
oh, listen to what I’ve gotta say,  
Girl, I still love you,  
I’ll always love you  
anyway, anyway.

Always and forever  
Each moment with you  
Is just like a dream to me  
That somehow came true

There’s a kind of hush  
all over the world  
all over the world tonight  
you can hear the sounds of lovers in love.

Together we can take the world apart, my love

And I don’t know if I’m being foolish  
Don’t know if I’m being wise  
But it’s something that I must believe in  
And it’s there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air  
In the whisper of the trees  
Love is in the air  
In the thunder of the sea

Woke up to the sound of thunder  
Thunder in the morning  
But I won’t worry, I won’t wonder  
Whether it was a warning

Thunder in the morning sky  
Reminds me of you  
I don’t know the reason why  
But it just does, it just does

Morning has broken, like the first morning  
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird  
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning  
Praise for the springing fresh from the word.

(I find this game so addicting!)

If she gives me a sign  
That she wants to make time (stop)  
I can’t stop (stop)  
I can’t stop myself  
(Stop, stop)

Lightning is striking again  
Lightning is striking again  
And again and again and again  
Lightning is striking again  
And again and again and again
