nothing at all
03:44
|

|
if anyone can tell me, tell me what
what's going on in my head
it's got to be her
only she always knows what I'm thinking
she can tell me what's wrong
i'll tell you what's wrong
everything and nothing at all
it's funny, strange, uncanny, uncanny how
how it's nobody's fault, it's never her fault
it's the time, it's the place, it's the season,
it's the phase of the moon
the time of the month
it's everything and nothing at all
if only when she told me, told me what
what she meant to imply
what i'm meant to infer
were her thoughts and her words
her intentions?
what did she mean?
whatever she said
she said everything and nothing at all

a favor
04:39
|

do me a favor
please don't talk to me again
i've wasted too much time waiting by the phone
and i still love you now and then
out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
do me a favor
please don't pass me on the street
i see you walking by, avoiding my eyes
what do you see in the concrete?
out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
i don’t miss you, but i can’t forget you
out of sight, out of mind
do me a favor
please don't think of me that way
don't close your eyes and think, "if only you were here..."
if only you would go away
out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
i don’t miss you, but i can’t forget you
out of sight, out of mind

a broken clock
02:52
|
|||
|
i might be wrong
a thousand times but now and then
it's been so long
i figure this time might be when
i close my eyes
and tell myself it's meant to be
it's not unwise
this one's the one who's meant for me
all this time
and all the ones i could not see
as someone mine
even a broken clock can be right, why not me?
i sat alone
she sang a song i could not hear
if i had known
too far apart to miss so near
i spin the hands
wind the spring and cross my heart
she understands
now is not the time to start

dearest
03:30
|
|||
|
my dearest, my dear
thinking about you
knowing what may be
not knowing at all
missing you more
than i probably should
wasted days without you
i'm just killing time
until i see you again
my dearest, my dear
so it's come to this
i'm staring at the phone
wishing it would ring
wanting to call
knowing you won't
writing letters i won't send
singing songs that you won't hear
my dearest, my dear
it's snowing again
i know you love it
i love it, too
i hear your laughter
and i smell your skin
your smile might catch my breath
fill my eyes with stars
wasted days without you
i'm just killing time

stumble around
04:14
|
|||
|
hey
feel too good to leave here tonight
there's noise and light
made up a drink
call it "kitchen sink"
why put up a fight?
party ho!
the midnighters burn down the town
where will they go?
you won't need memories
depression's around the corner
so is the bar
stumble around, stumble around
more freedom now
peek-a-boo sun
and shadows that fade with the stars
sleep 'til one
as riverside fills up with cars
a good life is led
in somebody's head
never letting them know
truth never told
about that hands that hold
and freedom
freedom to fall like the rain from the sky
under the gun
conveniently sane
no one to blame
stumble around, stumble around
more freedom now
tumbling down, tumbling down
more freedom now
more freedom
more freedom to stumble around

the cradle robber's song
03:37
|
|||
|
she's fresh as a daisy
i'm grizzled and grey
she drove me half-crazy
and i drove her away
the details are hazy
but you know what they say
you can't teach an old dog new tricks
she's half my age, plus six
she's precious as roses
her smiles amaze
i'm striking poses
my heart betrays
what everyone knows is
i've seen better days
and still the clock ticks
she's half my age, plus six
she says she's no flower
but i disagree
so sweet and so sour
she stings like a bee
i wish i knew how her
sting got in me
sometimes you're stuck with what sticks
she's half my age
|

another day
03:28
|
|||
|
another day when it might rain
another chance to say, "told you so"
another day when it might rain
another chance to say i told you so
but i'm getting better
the bitter's gone, i threw it away
yeah, i'm getting better
i find a way to get up every day
another day when it might rain
another chance to say, "told you so"
another day when it might rain
another chance to say i told you so
but i'm never lonely
my lovely friends keep the lonely away
yeah, i'm never lonely
i find a way to think so every day
another day when it might rain
another chance to say, "told you so"
another day when it might rain
another chance to say i told you so

(it's about) time
03:19
|
|||
|
seems
it's seemingly so
it's about time
she is letting me go
it's about time
every now and then
she comes around again
it's how i know that it's time
seems
it's seemingly so
it's about time
she is letting me know
it's about time
