First LineSong Title
Working on the road across this great big world, I've been rolling like a stone I never get back home...
Monday: Late again today, he'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry...
The city streets are empty now (The lights don't shine no more!) And so the songs are way down low...
Deep waters flow out to the sea, they never needed you or me...
(Back-masked) The music is reversible, but time is not! Turn back! Turn back! Turn back...
Two drifters on the morning sky, two drifters sailing wide and high...
Whatever I do, where ever I go, the same afterglow is keeping me low...
Hold on tight to your dream, Hold on tight to your dream...
She cried to the southern wind, about a love that was sure to end...
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run, and the people of the city have all lost and won...
You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind, You got my thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time...
Away! The joker's closing in! Reform and they will win...
You made a fool of me, but those broken dreams have got to end...
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, its like magic...
Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize, I guess you had your way...
First LineSong Title
Midnight on the water. I saw the ocean's daughter...
Little darlin' don't you cry, You know I'll try to be there with you by and by...
Just got back from a downtown palais where the music was so sweet it knocked me right back in the alley...
Hello. How are you? Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights...
A moving stream of information that is floating on the wind, the secrets never end...
I see the lonely road that leads so far away, I see the distant lights that left behind the day...
Sun is shinin' in the sky, there ain't a cloud in sight...
I used to think she was the greatest thing, I really cared, gave her a diamond ring...
I was searchin' (searchin') on a one-way street, I was hopin' (hopin') for a chance to meet...
Everywhere the sun is shining, all around the world it's shining...
You're sailing softly through the sun, in a broken stonage age dawn...
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman...
Got love, that's what you need, I got three or four babies sitting on my knee...
It was 9:29, 9:29 back street big city...
Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today? Did you see him run through the streets and far away...
