I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
I'm free to do what I want any old time
I said I'm free to do what I want any old time
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
See that
big blue note
Over there on the counter?
You don't wanna read that thing, man
It's a real get-you-downer
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
I'm out of my head
Don't understand it
Out of my heart
Low down and stranded
Out of my head, day and night
Night and day and night, wrong or right...
Could be wrong I could be right
Could be wrong I could be right
I could be wrong I could be right
I could be black I could be white
I could be right I could be wrong
I could be black I could be white
Your time has come your second skin
The cost so high the gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you, I'd do it all for you
If you just believe in me
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you just believe in me
Do you believe in life after love?
And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Any way you say it
The charade goes on
But your eyes won't see it
It's the same old song
I don't believe you
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow in the rain
What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Come on, feel the noise
Girls, rock your boys
You lost that loving feeling
Whoa, that loving feeling
You lost that loving eeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Baby,
now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so,
Don't go
Don't leave me now, now, now
While the sun smiles, stick around and laugh a while
Oh ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha!
Ooh! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!
Ooh! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha!
Ooh ha-ha, ooh ha! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha!
Can't you feel my heart? Ahahah, ahahah, oh
Now I don't wanna go home
'Cause when you hold me like this
You know my heart skips, skips a beat
I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
And when you hold me like this
That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
My heart is yours
It’s you that I hold on to
Yeah that’s what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won’t let you down
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Oh I wish it would rain and wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Oh love and a memory sparkle like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
Diamonds are forever, they are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me
"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said
but I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before.
I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away
away in a manger, no crib for a bed...
get up
get out of your lazy bed.
Before I count to three - step to it
baby.
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal-blue, Italian stream
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
Don't look for me around this town
'Cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere
And I won't take no souvenirs
No perfumed picture promises
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back
So, go away little girl
Let's call it a day little girl
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
Until you realize
It's just a story
Until you realize
It's just a story
I wonder, wonder who, who-oo-ooh, who
(Who wrote the book of love)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh, who wrote the Book Of Love
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
