1.Dismal Day
I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people that I knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
CHORUS
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best I lay my hopes to rest for noone's calling my
name
I sit and wait behind a door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
CHORUS
2.London Bridge
I know the times the times are hard to bear
It's hard to find someone to really care
But before I went down and out
Here's what I used to think about, think about：
London Bridge is always fallin' down,
But there it stood within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
The changes taking place are everywhere
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall
London Bridge is fallin' down at last,
And so another memory of the past
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid
I know things just can't evolve for all eternity
The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on
London Bridge is finally fallin' down,
It used to stand within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
London Bridge is finally fallin' down.....
3.Anyway You Want Me
Take me anyway you want me
'Cause I need your love to see me through
You can make me anyway you want me
That's all that I can offer you
I have tried so hard to please you
But I just can't seem to reach you
Tried, tried a little kindness
Every night and day like I knew I should
But you can take me, yes and you can leave me
But I always stayed, and you knew I would
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
Come on, come on closer now
I will get to you somehow
But you got to show me how
Please, please baby, please
Please, baby show me the way to your heart
You got to take me anyway you want me
Or take me just, just the way I am
Take me, or you can make me
4.The Last Time
Hey, didn't you believe me when I told you I was leavin'？
Well, wait a little while and soon you will be believin'
I'm tellin' you now like I told you before
That love has got to be somethin' more
Than a pasttime, this is the last time
This is the last time that I will say goodbye
You say it doesn't mean a thing
Let's see what the future brings
In the past, I've changed my mind, but
This has got to be the last time
Well, didn't you believe it when I said you don't know how to
love me？
You, you never understood that you weren't so high above me
I didn't realize 'til a moment ago
That time doesn't really go this slow
And it's past time, this is the last time
CHORUS
Whatcha gonna do when nights are gettin' colder, baby？
Where ya gonna go, you know you're gettin' older, baby？
Guess you're gonna have to be a little bolder, baby
Whatcha gonna do to satisfy your hunger, baby？
Oh, don't it seem that everyone's a-gettin' younger, baby？
Guess you're gonna have to find yourself another past time
Judgin' from the past, I know it won't be the last time
CHORUS
5.Could I
Lyrics：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Music：James Griffin／Robb Royer
I could I could keep you company could
I could I could keep you so happy can
I can I can I make you feel really fine
We could we could we make love this time
We could we could we make love so fine
You e old enough to know from where we
Come and where we go.
And what we e here for
What do you fear for
It hard enough to hear the though in mind
That now you e there
And then you e gone
Let get in
(Repeat first verse)
You e never really tried let yourself be satisfied
Now don deny it
Until you try it
You e played the game so long
You think that life goes on and on
You better use it
Before you lose it.
6.Friends And Lovers
Written：James Griffin／Robb Royer／Tim Halliman
Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way
Your way
Gathered in garden and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said.
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you？
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you？
Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way
Their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their
Stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say and I wonder
Does it really have to be this way
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you.
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you？
Or did you stand alone until the darkness came
Just one more room where everybody knew
Your name.
Friends and lovers
Ever apart from others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when I said and I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you？
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you？
7.Look At Me
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
I'm driftin' down the street
Asking of all I meet
Don't you know me from somewhere
Hazel eyes and curly hair
Have you seen me anywhere
Look at me
I'm blending into the wall
And I wonder if I'm really here at all
Time goes by
So do I
But no one blinks an eye
Mirrors aren't reflecting me
Laws aren't protecting
And no one's expecting me
On the edge
I feel like I'm going to fall
And I wonder if I'll never land at well
Loneliness comes and stays
Torturing nights and days
People stare but cannot speak
Hearts are strong
But tongues are weak
Maybe all our minds are meek
Look at me
I'm fading into the floor
And wonder if I'm living anymore.
8.Make It With You
Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side？
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
No, you don't know me well,
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
If you believe the things that I do.
And we'll see it through.
Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
9.Look What You've Done
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
There is some one you ought to meet;
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed;
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.
Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back; finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.
10.Been Too Long On The Road
Always look so good on the outside
When you get to believin' it's true,
Then you know that you're on your way
People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky
You've got ev'rything you want, but you don't
Yet you dare not say
Go downtown people runnin' around
They climb slowly draggin' you downtown,
Horns make a dent in your mind
Plush rooms make a blindin' your eye to see,
Blindin' me. Light, lovely light,
Won't ya' shine in my window
Love, precious love won't ya' fill ev'ry room,
Been too long on the road.
Maybe cynics veins are my life blood
Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed so I'll try
Try to understand what it is that devours your freedom,
Makes you drop what you used to hold in your heart.
All the things you planned
Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares,
Like the devil she does,
What comes ever into your mind？
Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room,
Oldest gloom. Warm, won't you be,
Please be there in my winter.
Love, precious love won't ya' come full circle,
Been too long on the road.
How can I do this to myself？
Have I taken leave of my senses？
What kind of changes make a man
Want to tear down all his fences
Whoa, I'd like to know. Home ever home,
How could I ever doubt you
Love, precious love, how could I live without you？
Been too long on the road.
11.Why Do You Keep Me Waiting
Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting？
What, my love, are you contemplating？
Time goes by still you never bat an eye,
Tell me why, my love, do you have to stay far away？
Late at night while I lay asleepin',
Pale moonlight through my window weepin',
I see you in a color fantasy, cover me
Why, my love, do you have to fade away,
Have to fade away？ Why my love, won't you tell me
Why, my love, do you keep me waiting？ Why, my love,
Are you hesitating？ Time goes by, are you waiting
For another day？ Tell me why you think
Time will never fade away？
12.Call On Me
Call on, call on me.
When you can't find a feeling inside,
And You think that there's no place to hide,
You're gonna see call on me.
Call on, call on me.
When you find that you need to be found,
And you start to come looking around
You'll come to me call on me.
If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time that we made some connection, come on call on me.
If you find that it's drivin' you sad,
Well, too bad that you ain't got no sense of direction.
If you think that I'm a-leading you on, well you're wrong,
And it's time for a mid-course correction, come on call on me.
Won't you call; won't you call on me？
13.It Don't Matter To Me
It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find
And it don't matter to me
If you take up with someone
Who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind
Lotta people have an ego hang-up
'Cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesn't matter
Just as long as you're the last
Everybody's moving on and try to find out
What's been missing in the past
And it don't matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
'Cause there'll always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
'Cause it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me....
14.Let Your Love Go
There's a reason for the life that you live
And there's pleasin' that I know you can give
And I been crayin' the love you been sayin'
So baby won't you give it to me
You're tellin' me no - no - no
You don't want to let your love go
I'm tellin' you yes - yes - yes
You really oughta be gettin' some happiness
I made a motion and it's out on the floor
And it's a notion that I'd love to explore
'Cause I been tastin' the love you been wastin'
So baby won't you give it to me...
You're a lady
And I'm here in the palm of your hand
Such a lady
How much more do you think I can stand？
15.He's A Good Lad
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
To show you the things that he never could say;
He's a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He ain't so bad
Right to the end he's a friend, about the best you can find
And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through
You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you.
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad
And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad.
16.Live In Your Love
Lyrics：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Music：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Take away the moment
That began the lonely night
Take it away
And you'll be back in my life
'Cause I need you back in my life
Take me back to the time
When I could live in your light
If that's the only way to live in your love
Take me back
If that's the way for me to live in your love
Take me back
If I must cling to someone
Then you must be the someone
On my own, on my way
Lookin' back to the day
Back to the day when I could live in your love
Take me back
I got to find a way to live in your love
Take me back
17.She Was My Lady
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
No one has heard
No one has seem her
Nobody else
Carin' but me
She was a child
She was a woman
When she was here - She was my lady
Never before
Was I dependin'
Then she came on
Filled in my life
She kept me on
My best behavior
She was my lord - She was my savior
She became my sanctuary
Some place I could lay me down
She would always help to carry
All the things that weigh me down
Nobody knew
How much I loved her
Not even her
Not even me
She was my queen
She was my lover
When she was here
There was no other
18.If
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
Arranger：Bruce Welch／John Farrar
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you？
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go？
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
And you and I would simply fly away
19.Too Much Love
Lyrics：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Music：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Too much sorrow
Too much pain
Too many reasons
No to go back again
Leavin' without her
Is too much to bear
But when we're together
Too much nothin' to share
But too much love
I've never seen
Too much love
I don't know what it means
Not enough caring
Too many lies
Sooner or later
One too many goodbyes
I got no reason
For hangin' around
And all my possessions
Start to weighin' me down
But too much love
I've never known
Too much love
I need some of my own
20.Take Comfort
Lyrics：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Music：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Take comfort where you find it
whatever gets you through
Take comfort don't be blind to it
You must do what's a right for you
Every one at times must run for cover
Don't you know you really can't be blamed
For in this you're just like any other
There's no need, no need to feel ashamed
Take comfort where you see it
Whatever makes it right
Take comfort when you need it
To help you through the night
By the way we live in our confusion
And the way that we misspend our youth
By the time we're stripped of our illusions
We may find illusions are the truth
21.Truckin'
Truckin' down the highway
Get outta my way
Always in a hurry
Always in between
That's where you can find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the cab of
A ten ton machine
Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
In old run down cafes
Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Gonna make some inroads
Drivin' home a payload
Truckin' down the highway
Like you never seen
Gettin' pretty tired of lookin'
In truck stop cabarets
Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way
Then you're gonna find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the back of
A long limousine
22.Down On My Knees
I told you before - don't you hear what I say
I won't take it no more - no more makin' me stay
Down on my knees - you know I'm down on my knees yeh
Yes I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
I won't get back on my knees.
Nobody knows - what your puttin me through
Nobody knows - if it's worth it for you
Nobody sees - you got me down on my knees
Well I've been down on my knees
And I'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
You know how I always loved you
Never placed myself above you,
Don't let me go - if I wish that I could
Don't tell me no - if I wish that you would
Down on my knees - you know I'm down on my knees
Well I've been down on my knees
But I'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
23.Daughter
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have to run.
Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style,
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned.
Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way,
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay.
Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait,
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry ,
He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away.
24.Games Of Magic
Lyrics：James Griffin／Robb Royer
Music：James Griffin／Robb Royer
First time it's rained since I came to the city
Seemed like a good time to write
And even now as I look out my window
Rain clouds are chasing the light
The play games of magic in the night...
Lately I've stayed with the lady from Denver
She said to come by for awhile
Took me on down to her place by the river
Carried me off on her smile
We play games of magic all the while...
I hope this letter finds you well
I wrote to tell you 'bout my change of plans
I won't be home tomorrow night
I'll be alright I hope you'll understand
All of my life I've been looking for somethin'
But I guess you know me by now
Searching for secrets and being the eternal child
Playing games of magic all the while.
25.Just Like Yesterday
Lyrics：James Griffin
Music：James Griffin
Just like yesterday
You come upon my mind and take it away...
Just like at the time
The things we did made our hearts skip away
Down on my knees I prayed
Kind woman don't go astray
When it seems at times
I've got my mind and heart all straight away...
Just when you've become
A mem'ry of the past and fade away
I see your face and think of all
Of all that we had
With of the things that you brought me
Now was it so bad
... Makes me wonder...
Just like yesterday
You come upon my mind and take it away.
26.Mother Freedom
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
Freedom - keep walkin'
Keep on your toesand don't stop talkin' 'bout
Freedom - get goin'
Lots to be learned and lots to be knowin' 'bout
People - gotta reach 'em
Sit 'em right down and then you gotta teach 'em 'bout
Freedom - gotta win it
Gotta put yourself smack dab in it
Hey tomorrow
Now don't you go away
'Cause freedom
Just might come your way
Freedom - keep tryin'
People stay alive and people keep dyin' for
Freedom - so don't lose it
Ya gotta understand ya just can't abuse it
Freedom - get movin'
Never gonna stop till everybody's groovin' on
Love for - one another
Callin' some friend and callin' some brother
Hey tomorrow
You're not so far away
Mother freedom
we'll know you well someday
27.Baby I'm-A Want You
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
28.Everything I Own
You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, Set me free
The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
but still you showed the way,
and I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go.
I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
Is there someone you know,
you're loving them so,
but taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
someone takes them away,
and they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
29.Diary
I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
you'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
When she confronted with the writing there,
simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
her total disconcerting air
and though she tried to hide
the love that she denied,
wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
all the sweet things that I can find.
I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
all the sweet things that she can find
all the sweet things they can find
30.The Guitar Man
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud,
Baby it's the guitar man.
Who's gonna steal the show, you know
Baby it's the guitar man,
He can make you love, he can make you cry
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin', miles and miles a day
To find another place to play.
Night after night who treats you right,
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio, you go listen
To the guitar man
Then he comes to town, and you see his face,
And you think you might like to take his place
Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play.
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along,
You want to get the meaning out of each and ev'ry song
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
And take them home.
He can make you love, he can get you high
He will bring you down, then he'll make you cry
Somethin' keeps him movin', but no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go.
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
Another place to play,
Anyway got to play, anyway Got to play.
31.Aubrey
And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But who's to blame？
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.
And Aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,
But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.
32.Fancy Dancer
Watchin' you move across the floor
You're fire up my mind can't take it no more
You're a fancy dancer
Makin' me blind so I can't see
You're a fancy dancer
And you ain't no good for me
You know you're comin' on strong
You're my favorite misery
You captured my soul - imprisoned my heart
You know you control whatever you start
You're fancy dancer
And it ain't too hard to see
You're fancy dancer
And you'll make a fool of me
I know it won't be for long
Until you dance a new song
But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me
I'm not the first and I won't be the last
Don't want your future - just make the night last
C'mon fancy dancer
Make me blind so I can't see
You're a fancy dancer
And you ain't no good for me
Yeh, we both knew from the start
You'd try do dance with my heart
But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me
33.Sweet Surrender
Baby I'm through runnin' it's true
I'd be a fool to try to escape you
Maybe I'm beat but oh what a sweet surrender
You keep your rights, I'll take your nights
No one can lose when we turn the lights out
Tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender
I'm givin' up myself to you but I didn't really lose at all
I gave the only love I've known and it never hurt me to fall
Now that it's done, so glad you won
I know our lives have only begun now
No more retreat, only my sweet surrender
34.Yours For Life
Lyrics：David Gates
Music：David Gates
In this day and age where changes happen twice as fast
Sometimes I get wonderin' if anything will last
People changin' partners like they change their underwear
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but darlin' I still care.
CHORUS
And I'm yours for life
Come and be my lifetime
Come and take the love I have for only one
Yes I'm yours for life
Come and share my lifetime
Share the world until our day is done.
Time that I first saw your face I loved you where you stood
In your eyes a kindness - told me you were good
And if the world could share your heart there'd never be a war
And darlin' if I tried and tried I could not love you more
CHORUS
Sometime I pray that you will always be the way you always
Are to me
'Cause if I lost you to the winds of change then I would cease
to be.
35.She Knows
Vocal：James Griffin
And when my troubles start to get me down
She's always there you know she always can be found
And never lets it weight too much on me
She always seems to be in touch with me you see
She knows
And I am drawn to her it is as thought
I were a moth and she the candles glow
And when the world has got the best of me
She seems to have the power to change my destiny
I try to tell her what is on my mind
And even though the words are hard to find at times
She knows
And when she comes to me it is as though
I were earth and she new fallen snow
And I will sing of all the things she knows
She gives me wings with all the things she knows
36.Clouds Suite(Cloudsrain)
Vocal：David Gates
See the clouds adrift so far below
Everchanging as they come and go
Makes me wonder why I'm up so high
When really I am down so low
Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud
Always brings my feelings right out loud
Whether I'm ashamed or proud
On this airplane comin' home to you
Sometimes I think I've flown my whole
life through
My whole life... through
As I wing my way to you
See the clouds they're giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show
Keeping secrets no one else could know
For I'm the one who told them so
Now and then I get up close to you
I'd like to stay but I'm just passing through
So I'll have to say goodbye...
Until next time I fly.
(interlude)
Make my bed-light the light
Comin' in on the midnight flight
Touch the ground and soon you will be
Safe inside reality
Change your mind-change your name
Still the music it sounds the same
Rainfall don't bother me at all
You see the world reflected on the highway
Come on rainbow-I can't let you go
Before I reach the end of you someway
So the next time raindrops fall
If it makes you climb the walls just think
of green.
37.I Use The Soap
Vocal：David Gates
I use the soap to wash the dirt of my face
I write with pencil so that I can erase
But what's to do when someone's taken my place with you, with
you
I know to stop when the light turns to red
And when it rains I know to cover my head
But what's to do when I wish'd I were dead over you, 'ver you,
over you
Do do do do do etc
Plannin' to write off tomorrow
Do do do do do etc
Hopin' to wash off the sorrow
I woke to find that my world was not there
It ceased to me when I found you did not care
And my ambition vanished into thin air along with you, with you
Now my emotions find it hard to let go
And as for me I'll find a new road to hoe
But maybe this time I will take it more slow than before, before
Than before
38.Sail Around The World
Vocal：David Gates
I would sail around the world
Look for gold and dive for pearl
But I know I will never get to go
I would like to win a prize, be in everybody's eyes
But it's true, I would probably not get to
My life has always been simple
No one ever knows when I come and go
And my dreams are ending at sunrise
And dreaming just don't make it so
So I've lived without regrets
Wouldn't change a thing and yet
Now and then, wish that I could start again
39.Ann
Vocal：David Gates
Ann a-sleepin' on my bed
Hair a-tumblin' 'round your head
You will always be a part of me
When I look in your eyes... it's my
reflection I see
Ann I wonder how you knew
I needed someone just like you
Were you on a beam of guiding light
That came in my life... late that
September night.
And though I try to hold back the years
I cannot hold the dawn
And so I try to hold back the tears
When love has grown up and gone...
Ann I'll love you 'till I die
And when you hear this lullabye
I'll be with you though we're far apart
And you'll be with me... right here inside
my heart.
40.Never Let Her Go
Vocal：David Gates
Everybody needs a someone
Waitin' to be there when things are
a-lookin' down
So if you feel a little lonely
Go out, find your one and only
Somewhere out there
Someone will care for you
and then...
Never Let Her Go
Never Let Her Go
You may wonder how you know love
When the moment comes that you've
been a-dreamin' of
Well true love takes a little longer
Your heart beats a little stronger
You'll know it's real
Inside you'll feel you're home at
last... then
Never Let Her Go
Never Let Her Go
So if you feel a little lonely
Go out, find your one and only
Open your heart
Give love a start and watch it
grow... and
Never Let Her Go
Never Let Her Go
41.Part-Time Love
Vocal：David Gates
I need somebody who's consistent
with me
Someone already there when I need
company
'Cause when l'm feelin' low
I don't want to have to go out
lookin'
For a part-time kind of love
And when the dreams and rainbows
start to disappear
Don't want somebody up and runnin'
outa here
'Cause when you stop and start
Baby it's just too hard upon
my heart
That part-time kind of love
And I can't take you darlin' livin' here
wait and see
I want somebody who's committed
now to me
Somewhere, someday you'll have
to take a chance
So if you like the music baby
get up and dance
And if we grow together daring to dream
I know we'll find our shares of
peaches and cream
And when the juices flow
I don't want no no no excuses
Just want your full time love
for me
Just want your full time love
for me.
42.Lost Without Your Love
Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay
I wander through the night
And search the world to find
the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I've got to make you see
That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real...
And someday soon I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break
Yes I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darlin' can't you see...
If we had love before
We can have it back once more
43.She's The Only One
She's a butterfly
But she flies too high
She won't speak the truth
She don't make excuses
She don't seem to care
But you want her anywhere
'Cause she's the only one
She don't make the scene
But that don't chnge a thing
You just plan and scheme
You insist on dreamin'
She won't play your game
But it's all the same
Now she's the only one
She knows too well that she's the only one
She doesn't care if you're the lonely one
You want to say it's over, but it's just begun
She's the only one
She knows too well that she's the only one
She doesn't care if you're the lonely one
It's not the way you planned it
But she's really got you on the run
Your one and only one
44.Hooked On You
Baby if you only knew
Everything I need I get from you
I'll never let you out of sight
I need you through the day and night, baby
Always there to see me through
Darlin' don't you know I'm hooked on you
Habits I've had before
But never came back so much for more
I need your lovin' every day
I couldn't live without it, no way
And everybody knows it's true
Everybody knows I'm hooked on you
Well I've never been dependin'
and never thought I would
Oh but now I find that I don't mind,
the change is for the good
So don't be feelin' sorry,
for the freedom that I lost
'Cause I found out what I'm missin',
and I'm glad to pay the cost
Now that I've tasted you
I know nobody else will ever do
I'm glad that I can say you're mine
I love ya 'cause your sugar's so fine
And no one else'll ever do
There's nothin' like bein' hooked on you
Always there to see me through
Baby that's why I'm hooked on you
45.The Chosen One
I was your first and you were my last
And we are the journey's end
I was the blues and you were my sunshine friend
Now I'm your lover, you are my cover
Keeping the loneliness from me
You are my chosen one... arise and be the one
The chosen one
You are the sea and I am the sailor
Riding the perfect wave
I could've drowned but you came around and save me
She won't play your game
Now I'm your hopes and you are my dreamer
Helping me see beyond tomorrow
You are the chosen one... you'll always be the one
The chosen one
Out of the darkness, out of the shadow
Oh wherever you go, I'll follow along
Wherever you lead me, wherever you need me
I'll bring you my message, I'll bring you my song
You are the chosen one... arise and be the one
The chosen one
Darlin' I choose you, I'll never use you
I couldn't abuse you with all that you've done
You are my sunshine, you are my lifeline
Forever my sweet wine, forever the one
46.2. Goodbye Girl
作詞：David Gates
作曲：David Gates
主唱：David Gates
All your life you've waited for love to come and stay
And now that he has found you, you must not slip away
I know it's hard believing the words you've heard before
but darling you must trust them just once more
Because baby goodbye doesn't mean forever
let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean you'll never be together
again
If you wake up and he's not there it won't be long away
cause the things you do my goodbye girl will bring him back to
you
I know you've been taken afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for him instead of giving in
Well, he can wait forever for helping you to see that he was
meant for you and you for him
So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean you'll never be together
again
Though you may be so far apart you still would have his heart
So forget your past my goodbye girl
cause now you're home at last
47.Took The Last Train
Vocal：David Gates
Took the Last Train to St. Tropez
Had in mind to dance the night away
Experimented with a cognac high
When in France you give everything a try
Soon the crowd dwindled down to two
Not a soul around but me and you
You just smiled in French and took my hand
Spoke the words I tried my best to understand
You're tellin' me-
Viens chez moi
Ce soir va jamais terminer
On va rester toujours ensemble-you're
tellin' me
Come with me
Tonight will last forever
We will stay together always
Wake the next day and found her note
Love ya, goodbye that's all she wrote
And every night down at the place we met
I wait for her and those sweet words I
can't forget
You're tellin' me-
Viens chez moi
Ce soir va jamais terminer
On va rester toujours ensemble-'cause
I want you to
Come with me
Tonight will last forever
We will stay together always
