i've been sitting here so long

[GL]

One more night, one more night
I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

 

[Andreus]

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me​

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore.
Before you take a swing.
I wonder.
What are we fighting for.
When I say out loud.
I want to get out of this.
I wonder.
Is there anything I'm going to miss.

I wonder.
How it's going to be.
When you don't know me.
How's it going to be.
When you're sure I'm not there.
How's it going to be.
When there is no one there to talk to.
Between you and me.
'Cause I don't care.
How's it going to be.
How's it going to be.

Where we used to laugh.
There's a shouting match.
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch.
A silence I can't ignore.
Like... The hammocks
and the doorways we spent time in.
Swings empty.
Don't see lightning like last fall
when it was always about to hit me.

How's it going to be.
When you don't know me.
Anymore.
How's it going to be.

Want to get back in again.
The soft dive of oblivion.
I want to taste the salt of your skin.
The soft dive of oblivion.
Oblivion.

How's it going to be.
When you don't know me.
Anymore.
How's it going to be.

[GL]

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

 

[texpatriot]

When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my City
ooh, ooh

So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my City by the bay
ooh, ooh

It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the
road without you,
Without your charms,
​

 

[GL]

You've been picked and it's over
What's the chip on your shoulder?
Out side were solid rainbows
Inside is where the heart grows
Picking up the pieces
Something more to believe in

As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't you let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely

You've got some fascination
With your high expectations
This love is your obsession
Your heart, your past possession
Let down your defences
Won't be up to the one who cares

As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't you let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy

Hang on, ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely

 

[Andreus]

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last​

 

[GL]

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

Dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night
Dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light

Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain

Dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night
Dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

Dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night
Dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

[GL]

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

 

[texpatriot]

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Wont escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
Im lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, youre wasting my time
Youre just wasting time

Something happens and Im head over heels
I never find out till Im head over heels
Something happens and Im head over heels
Ah dont take my heart
Dont break my heart
Dont throw it away

I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming Im a doctor
Its hard to be a man when theres a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...

Something happens and Im head over heels

And this my four leaf clover
Im on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
​

 

[GL]

I walk along the city streets
you used to walk along with me,
and every step I take recalls
how much love, we used to be.

Oh, how can I forget you
when there is always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me.

I was born to love you, and I will never be free
you'll always be a part of me.

When shadows fall, I pass a small cafe
where we would dance at night
and I can't help recalling how it
felt to kiss and hold you tight.

Oh, how can I forget you
when there is always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me.

I was born to love you, and I will never be free
you'll always be a part of me.

If you should find you miss the sweet
and tender love we used to share
just go back to the places where we used to go,
and I'll be there.

Oh, how can I forget you
when there is always something there to remind me
always something there to remind me.

I was born to love you, and I will never be free
when there is, when there is
when there is always something there to remind me ...

 

[texpatriot]

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach​

 

[GL]

nothing's so loud
as hearing when we lie
the truth is not kind
and you've said neither am i
but the air outside so soft is saying everything
everything

all i want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
all i want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, i feel it say...

nothing's so cold
as closing the heart when all we need
is to free the soul
but we wouldn't be that brave i know
and the air outside so soft, confessing everything
everything

all i want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
all i want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, i feel it say...

and it won't matter now
whatever happens to me
though the air speaks of all we'll never be
it won't trouble me

all i want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
all i want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, i feel it say...

and it feels so close
let it take me in
let it hold me so
i can feel it say...

 

[G-Lexington]

Advance three paces forward
And slip three paces back
There are words to be forgotten
And statements to retract
For each and every action
There's one to counteract

Rendered useless
Fruitless strivings
All for nought

Exact a small emolument
It never will be paid
Construct a flawless argument
It will not win the day
Erect a concrete monument
And it will wash away

Fruitless labors
Wasted hours
Down the drain

There are roads to be eroded
And slates to be erased
Buildings to demolish
Reputations to disgrace
Why was I surprised
At my lucky star's rebound?
I once was found but now I'm lost
Wound up in Lost and Found.

The wind will blow down windmills
Unbending truths will bend
Abide by words of wisdom
Yet meet a foolish end
A trial by trial and error
Now start all over again

All for nothing
Goose egg zero
All in vain

But still I have the comfort
Of knowing when I die
That I will be among
The choirs of angels up on high
Gently hovering over a cloud
I'll sing euphoniously
And strum upon a golden harp
For all eternity

A font of healing waters
Will soon become impure
A life of noble struggle
Will soon become obscure
Whatever your endeavor
It will be yet undone

Fruitless labors
Fruitless efforts
Fruitless toil

But still one must take courage
Despair one must resist
For only for so long
Inclement weather can persist
Partly sunny, fair and mild
I heard the radio say
I'll call upon my fairweather friends
And fritter the day away​

Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and
Show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger

But we love to try them on
Well we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger

Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try again
Everone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it, why can't
Someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself

Once I used to believe
I was such a great romancer
Then I came home to a woman
That I could not recognize
When I pressed her for a reason
She refused to even answer
It was then I felt the stranger
Kick me right between the eyes

Well we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?

Don't be afraid t try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it why can't
Someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself

You may never understand
How the stranger is inspired
But he isn't always evil
And he isn't always wrong
Though you drown in good intentions
You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Billy is a new man
He does the best he can
To figure out
What it's about
And what the hell he's meant to be
He does the right thing
When expected
'nuff respect
Once in a while
He likes a smoke
And a joke
Just as long as its PC
And he thinks that he cries at the movies
'cause he's in touch with his feminine side
Sally wants a proud man
Sally wants a proud man
Sally wants a proud man
But she's taken all his pride

Billy is a new man
At least when she's around
A model father
Or if needed
He'll be mother for the day
He watches Men Behaving Badly
Though he'll gladly
Switch it off
If she's offended
He'll pretend it
Wasn't funny anyway
He's got one face he keeps for his woman
And one for when he's out with the guys
Sally wants a true man
Sally wants a true man
Sally wants a true man
But he's living out a lie

Better go and find an analyst or something
Time for sorting out his head
Better go and find a book to read about it
Just like his daddy never did

And he reads Marie Claire at the doctor
Just in case there's something he should know
Sally wants a free man
Sally wants a free man
Sally wants a free man
But she will not let him go

Billy is confused
He feels abusive and abused
He's got one hand on an olive branch
And his other on his crotch
He drives a sensible coupe
He thinks Oasis are OK
He drinks non-alcoholic lager
Though he'd rather have a scotch
And he tries very hard to be happy
But there's a few little things in the way

Billy wants a good girl
And a bad girl
And a blonde girl
And a brunette
Or a Bond girl
And a house maid
And a teas maid
And a French maid
Yeah, a sex aid
And a goddess
A confidante
A wet nurse
And an agony aunt
Lover
Mother
Babysitter
A young girl
With a pretty face
Who's smart
But not too smart
To love an asshole
Yes, an asshole
Billy wants to be an asshole

Billy wants it all now
Billy wants it all now
Billy wants it all now
But he's too ashamed to say

Sally wants a Superman
Sally wants a Superman
Sally wants a Superman
But she hasn't got a chance​
