03:08Well, she knows how to smile
03:25And then after a while
03:27You will feel afraid
03:28You will wonder why
03:32She will gaze in
03:34And I cannot trust you
03:36Follow quick as she slips out of sight
03:42She knows it all while you're lost in the night
03:46You'll lose your fate as she strikes up a light

04:54I don't know how you feel
04:59I want you to
05:09You get under the spell, and there's no telling where this will lead you.
05:18You'll drive out in your car, talk and gaze at the start, you can trust, you can trust me, you're not there.
05:26You want to speak, but you're numb to the brain.
05:30You hold her close, but it's not quite the same.
05:34Her voice remains as you can't know the frame.
05:37Can I get closer to you now? Can I get closer to you now?

10:36A lady came from the south
10:53How was I to know?
10:57Walking all alone
11:00Nowhere else to go
11:03She took me by surprise
11:06It was her eyes
11:08I loved her for a while
11:13It was a smile
11:15She said I'm so tired of being alone
11:21Learning new ways to climb
11:25And I'm no higher and no freer than alone
11:32On the path to the sea
11:38It came from the south
11:42How was I to know?
11:46Walking all alone
11:48I'm nowhere else to go
11:51The way she looked at me
11:55I felt so free
11:57Hiding something away
12:02Deeper than I could see
12:04She said I'm so tired of being alone
12:10Learning new ways to climb
12:14And I'm no higher and no freer than most
12:22On the path to the sea
12:26溺 Quite tall teen
12:34Son of a walk
12:35And I felt so tired of being alone
12:37That's a great way to
12:42Out of your mind
12:43From the south
12:43I felt so tired of being alone
12:45And I was wrong
12:46Here I felt so tired of being all
12:47But What is this?
12:48She said I'm so tired of being alone
12:59Learning new ways to cry
13:03And I'm no island of Cleveland
13:09Most of the path to the sea
13:16They didn't came from the south
13:19How was I to know?
13:23They didn't came from the south
13:26How was I to know?
13:30They didn't came from the south
13:32How was I to know?
13:37They didn't came from the south
13:39How was I to know?
13:43They didn't came from the south
13:46Oh, how was I to know
13:49I waited to keep myself
13:52Oh, how was I to know
14:16I've been trying all night
14:25To make up that rock and roll song
14:28And everything I write
14:32Just wakes up, comes out around
14:34Seems I've been in this dream
14:39It's too long
14:41So I went down to see the promise
14:45My life I'm a trace
14:47She said your life is as free
14:51As your home is
14:52On your face
14:53But your heart
14:56Just won't stay
14:58In one place
15:00She said
15:03Oh, what in the world
15:04Are you trying to do
15:06Oh, what
15:08She said
15:09Oh, what in the world
15:10Are you trying to do
15:12Oh, what
15:14I said I'm trying
15:15Yeah, I'm trying
15:17Yes, I'm trying
15:19To make you
15:21Yeah, I'm trying
15:27Yeah, I'm trying
15:28Yeah, I'm trying
15:30Yeah, I'm trying
15:33Yeah, I'm trying
15:34Yeah, I'm trying
15:37And she said, oh, what in the world are you trying to do?
15:48Oh, what?
15:49And she said, oh, what in the world are you trying to do?
15:54Oh, what?
15:55I said, I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying
15:58Yes, I'm trying to make you
16:03Oh, what?
16:08Oh, what?
16:10Oh, what?
16:11Oh, what?
16:12I was seeking out the fame and riches
16:14And I didn't even say why
16:16Cause I don't really claim to know riches
16:21For the best of your lives
16:22But it's plain
16:25There's not much
16:27You can't find
16:30Oh, what in the world are you trying to do?
16:33Oh, what in the world are you trying to do?
16:36Oh, what?
16:37She said, oh, what in the world are you trying to do?
16:42Oh, what?
16:43I said, I'm trying
16:44Yeah, I'm trying
16:46Yes, I'm trying
16:48To make you
16:50See your face
16:59Everywhere I see your face
17:17Pills my head
17:20Pills my head
17:20Turns my head
17:20Turns my life around
17:25Puts me on another track
17:29Always leads me looking back
17:34Back
17:35To see your face
17:39Quite by chance
17:47Happened in a second life
17:51Need you more and more
17:55Makes me feel unsure
17:59Find her saying
18:00Find her saying
18:02Hey, come on
18:03I'm not trying to put you on
18:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
18:14Wrapped in a sleepless night
18:19I see your face
18:21Even the morning light
18:27Will take your place
18:29I see your face
18:31I see your face
18:34I see your face
18:35I see your face

19:03I see your face
19:04I see your face
19:05Living my days in a dream
19:13I see your face
19:15No girl I've ever seen
19:21Could take your place
19:23And I see your face
19:29Here's the catch
19:35You can't always see my face
19:39Someone else's smile
19:43Stole you for a while
19:47You could not have seen that I
19:51Thought the sun shone from your eyes
19:55I, you left me here
19:59But I still see your face
20:04Don't come around and knock on my door

20:42Don't say you found me
20:44You never lost me
20:46No, no, no, no, no
20:48When you're around me
20:49You're far too costly

21:10When I'm on the run
21:15From people with tongues
21:17To bleach the ground
21:20Blah, blah
21:21I wish I had a gun
21:22At least a bigger pair of lungs
21:24To shout them down
21:26Or shoot them down
21:29Bang, bang
21:30I won't analyze you
21:54When you deserve this
21:55But when you're so wise
21:57You just make me nervous
21:59I won't say you're sinking
22:01You never surfaced
22:03No, no, no, no
22:05See, when I'm not thinking
22:06I've got 10%
22:08Versus you
22:11Don't come around and knock on my door

22:33Nobody home
22:33guitar solo

23:06While I still got time to be with you, my friend
23:11I didn't want it to be this way
23:17Oh, oh, oh, better stop now
23:19Better cut and run
23:22While it's still a room on the highway
23:26Better cut and run
23:28While it's still got wings to fly away from this place
23:33I can't help you anymore, you know
23:38Oh, oh, oh, better cut and run
23:41I had a friend, she let me down
23:45She never smiled at all
23:48And look now, she's got me tied
23:51Something so big, yet so small
23:55Better wear a smile
24:21What's done is done forever
24:25Better wear a smile
24:27Oh, you know that I could never fight you back
24:33I just carry on like I am
24:38Oh, oh, better wear a smile
24:40I had a friend, she let me down
24:45She never smiled at all
24:47And look now, she's got me tied
24:50She's got me tied
24:52Something so big, yet so small
24:55Guess I better make a move
24:57Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
25:00Oh, oh, oh, oh
25:30Oh, oh, oh
26:00Oh, oh, oh, oh

26:43Yes, it does
26:45Yes, it does
26:47Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
26:51Caught in this bloated city
26:54That you know the roads are jammed
26:59Trying to get some music together
27:02Police are trying hard to get it big

30:30I know how to wait for what I want
30:49Time is a funny thing
31:12No one takes what it can
31:14Leave you bare like a dead tree
31:16And cold enough to die
31:19Life is another thing
31:22It can kill you where you stand
31:23So find someone to believe
31:26And you can look it in the eye
31:29Never say too late
31:33I can play things straight
31:38I know how to wait for what I want
31:41Never say too late
31:47Never say too late
31:57In the madness of the morning
32:18And the sadness of the moment
32:21She says goodbye
32:23And starts to cry
32:25In a second of emotion
32:30And the burning of devotion
32:32She don't know why
32:34Her life's alive
32:37For the love of a lady
32:42Grows stronger every day
32:45She seems like a stranger now

33:29She seems like a stranger now
33:32A ship upon the water
33:34In the darkness of desertion
33:46She dances desperate hopes
33:48The dreams bring
33:49She walks alone
33:51On her own
33:54And the pain of that party
33:58Echoes thoughts of their restarting
34:01To laugh again
34:03To live again
34:06For the love of each other grows stronger every day
34:14They seem to be drifting like
34:17Ships upon the water
