1.Baker Street(Edit)
Winding your way down on Baker Street,
Light in your head and dead on your feet,
Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away,
And forget about everything.
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul,
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy,
You used to say that it was so easy,
But you're trying,
You're trying now.
Another year and then you'd be happy,
Just one more year and then you'd be happy,
But you're crying,
You're crying now.
Way down the street there's a light in his place,
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face,
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen,
And you talk about anything.
He's got this dream about buyin' some land,
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands,
And then he'll settle down in some quiet little town,
And forget about everything.
But you know he'll always keep moving,
You know he's never gonna stop moving,
'Cos he's rolling,
He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning,
The sun is shining, it's a new morning,
And you're going,
You're going home.
2.Right Down The Line
You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman, right down the line
I know how much I lean on you, only you can see
The changes that I've been through
Have left their mark on me
You've been as constant as the northern star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you, woman, right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way of telling you that every day
I'm loving you so much more
Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind
And it was you, woman, right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way of telling you that every day
I'm loving you so much more
If I should doubt myself if I'm losing ground
I wont turn to someone else, they'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman, right down the line
3.City To City
Now the night train is waitin' to take me away
And I'm still feelin' guilty cause you're wanting me to stay
Well, I know how I know it's harder on you
But you said it yourself, there's nothing else we could do
When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the night
Out there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' bright
And it makes me feel better just to see it up there
I hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
Now I know you've been waiting, but I'll be seeing you soon
Meanwhile I just lay here staring at the moon
And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps
And the train keeps on rollin', and it just rocks me to sleep
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
Now from city to city, it's four hundred miles
And I'm bound to wake up every once in a while
And it's then that I call out to some higher power
And then I'll go back to sleep cause I'll be home in an hour
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
I'm going home (ooh) tonight, I'm going home (ooh) tonight
I'm going home (ooh) tonight, I'm going home (ooh) tonight
4.Waiting For The Day
Well, here I am, back in town
Just as the night is comin' down
Warm wind blowin' through the trees
I watch them swing, I watch them sway
I lie here waiting for the day
Sleep won't come, I need a drink
Stop my head, don't wanna think
Wishing I could be with you
But I know you're so far away
And I'm here waiting for the day
Water of life pour your light down on me
Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea
Water so sweet, you can open my eyes
You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry
Out on the street, shadows fall
Silence speaks, I hear it call
City of the living dead
Count the lights on the motorway
I lie here waiting for the day (alright)
Water of life pour your light down on me
Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea
Water so sweet, you can open my eyes
You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry
Yes, here I am, back in town
Just as the night is comin' down
Warm wind blowin' through the trees
I watch them swing, I watch them sway
I lie here waiting for the day (alright)
5.Get It Right Next Time
Out on the street I was talkin' to a man
He said 'there's so much of this life of mine that I don't
understand'
You shouldn't worry I said that ain't no crime
Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next
time
You need direction yeah you need a name
When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the
same
After a while you can recognize the signs
So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time
Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
No use complainin' don't you worry, don't you whine
Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next
time
You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes
You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake
When you believe there's no mountain you can climb
And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time
Next time hmmmm
6.Take The Money And Run
I was caught up in a fever
In that summer of '69
And my heart was cryin' out for change
And i knew time was comin' when i'd get away.
So i moved down to that city
Where i met a friend of mine
And i must admit he tried to warn me well
With all those bad luck stories he could tell.
He said 'take the money and run
Take the money and run
Believe it in this town you can't trust anyone
You're gonna learn that lesson my son'.
'take the money and run
Buy yourself a place in the sun
Don't be a fool don't you trust anyone
You gotta take the money and run take the money and run'.
He was broken he was wasted
He'd been brought down to his knee
And his heart was crying out for truth
You could see the whole world's sadness in his eyes.
So i took good care of business
At least as far as i could see
I could read the signs and i knew all the lines
But so many times his voice came back to me.
'take the money and run
Get it at the point of a gun
Believe it in this town you can't trust anyone
You're gonna learn that lesson my son'.
'take the money and run
Buy yourself a place in the sun
Don't be a fool don't you trust anyone
You gotta take the money and run take the money and run'.
I've been wanderin' through this wasteland
Where the blind go leading the blind
And the only sound on the money-go-round
Was the million voices waiting to be found.
I could only hear a whisper
It was comin' from the one i loved
And her heart was saying this can't be right
All my wasted days and all her lonely nights.
Take the money and run
Get it at the point of a gun
Believe it n this town you can't trust anyone
You're gonna learn that lesson my son.
Take the money and run
Buy yourself a place in the sun
Don't be a fool don't you trust anyone
You gotta take the money and run take the money and run.
7.Days Gone Down(Still Got The Light In Your Eyes)
You still got that light in your eyes
And our day is comin' by and by
I'm jailed on this long road here with you
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go
The first time I set eyes on you
I listened to you sing, yeah yeah
We didn't have to speak cause the words said everything
Yes you walked right into my life
And we were on our way, yeah
So long ago, but it feels like yesterday
And I just wanna tell ya...
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
We won't forget the days gone down
They're written in our hearts, yeah yeah
And we're as much in tune as we were right at the start
It all seems so much harder now
It seemed so easy then, yeah yeah
Well someday just for fun we might do it all again
I just wanna tell ya...
You still got that light in your eyes, yes you do
And our day is comin' by and by
I'm jailed on this long road here with you
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
Shine a light, shine it bright on the days gone down
8.Why Won't You Talk To Me
Why won't you talk to me
I've done nothing wrong that I can see.
You know I can't take this silence, tell me what's wrong with
you
If I'm supposed to feel guilty, tell me what did I do
It must be a reason for you acting this way
But I swear I won't know it 'til you come out and say.
Why won't you talk to me
I've done nothing wrong that I can see.
I don't know why I'm trying to break down this wall
That you build up between us or nothing at all
It feels like a bad dream, it feels like a game
But I swear this is one time that I'm not to blame.
Why won't you talk to me
I've done nothing wrong that I can see.
9.The Royal Mile
I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.
And we walked in the sun down the royal mile
Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled
And she cried in the night and I heard her say 'Don't go'.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin'?
In the light of the day I was rolling home
I was thinking of you waiting on your own
And I wanted to call but then something said 'Oh no'.
Yeah but now it's a dream, it's a memory
But I'll never forget what you gave to me
I was lost and alone but you made me feel ok.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin'?
I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin'?
10.Wastin' Away
I'm goin' yes i'm goin' yes i'm goin' away
I finally made up my mind
I'm leavin' yes i'm leavin' yes i'm leavin' today
Leavin' the good life behind
I can never be the kind of man you want me to be
Don't cry little darlin' don't cry
You don't know what this kind of life is doin' to me
Goodbye little darlin' goodbye
Wastin' away wastin' away
Too much of nothin' everyday
Wastin' away wastin' away
Too much of nothin' everyday
Once upon a time you would've asked me to stay
I know little darlin' i know
Now i get the feeling you don't care anyway
It shows little darlin' it shows
Wastin' away wastin' away
Too much of nothin' everyday
Wastin' away wastin' away
Too much of nothin' everyday
I'm goin' yes i'm goin' yes i'm goin' away
I finally made up my mind
I'm leavin' yes i'm leavin' yes i'm leavin' today
Leavin' the good life behind
Wastin' away wastin' away
Too much of nothin' everyday
Wastin' away wastin' away
Too much of nothin' everyday
Wastin' away wastin' away
Wastin' away wastin' away
11.Bring It All Home
I was lost on an endless sea
Going down going down going down on an endless sea
Sail with the wind you weather the storm
You bring it all home bring it all home you bring it all home
I was free in the dead of night
I want you i want you i want you in the dead of night
Give me your love i'll sing you my blues
I'll bring it all home bring it all home i'll bring it all home
I was blind in the light of day
I need you i need you i need you in the light of day
I still won't let go hang on to this pride
I'll bring it all home bring it all home i'll bring it all home
I was lost on an endless sea
Going down going down going down on an endless sea
Think to yourself you're laughing it off
Bring it all home bring it all home bring it all home

Bring it all home bring it all home bring it all home ooh baby
12.Don't Close The Door
Don't close the door
Don't live here alone tonight

Waiting for the cold daylight
Just wait a little longer

Don't be running away
Darlin' don't cry
You know my love belongs to you

13.Sleepwalking
Out on the street and the rain is fallin? i got nowhere to go

rain
Hey sleep sleepwalking hey deep sleep talkin?

Hey sleep sleepwalking hey deep sleep talkin?
Hey reelin? and rockin? hey wailin? at the moon

14.A Change Of Heart
One life and you're on your own and you don't ever find a way
back home
One road and you travel alone you keep on even when your hope is
gone
Now somethin' touches you with a different rhythm
But all your life you've been playin'a part
And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.
Change of heart. change of heart.
Change of heart. change of heart.
A worried mind and a heart full of pain you drag it around just
like a ball and chain
It doesn't matter where you go there's no runnin' away from
everything you know
The writing's on the wall but still you won't surrender
You won't give up you won't make a start
And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.
Change of heart. change of heart.
Change of heart. change of heart.
Rain clouds blowin' away taking you back again to yesterday
Bad moon on the rise now you're runnin' out of alibis
But somethin' touches you with a different rhythm
All your life you've been playin'a part
And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.
Change of heart. change of heart.
Don't let this cold world tear you apart.
15.On The Way
Driftin' along with the wind
Telling yourself you can't win
It's over and now we begin
Oh yeah we are on the way
Light shining down from the east
Bringing a love that won't cease
Yeah now we are finally released
Oh yeah we're on the way
I used to think that i was doin' all right
But now i know that i was just hanging on
I used to wake up in the dead of night
And see the road that i was traveling on
Only one woman one man
Just doing the best that we can
There's so much we don't understand
Oh yeah but we're on the way
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I used to think that i was doin' all right
But now i know that i was just hanging on
I used to wake up in the dead of night
And see the road that i was traveling on
Only one woman one man
Just doing the best that we can
There's so much we don't understand
Oh yeah but we're on the way
Light shining down from the east
Bringing a love that won't cease
Yeah now we are finally released
Oh yeah we're on the way
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
16.Night Owl
Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows
Down the street the neon light shines
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow
Yes i get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And i end look look looking for somewhere to go
Yes i should know better but i can't say no
Oh no no no no no no no
The lights are low and the music is loud
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
One more face in a palace of mirrors
One more drink you're sailing away
One more dream but it's looking okay
One more time to watch the flow of the river
Yes i get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And i end look look looking for somewhere to go
Yes i should know better but i can't say no
Oh no no no no no no no no no no
Yes i get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And i end look look looking for somewhere to go
Yes i should know better but i can't say no
Oh no no no oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
