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