(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

You're the poets finest song
And like a painter you can move me with your sunrise
Touch me with the look I see in your eyes
And I fall again

In the silence after love

When does a lover ever learn to say goodbye?
When does a lover finally stop giving it one more try?
If holding you for a night or two is all I'm ever gonna see of you
You'd better love me up, and on the way back down
Give me something I need, something I ain't found

Just like a bad seed in the wind you keep blowing back again
When everybody's turned you out, I'll take you in

Her hair is Harlow gold,
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

You had your life
And I had mine
And together we could
Do it all

We were the greatest black and white
We were every curtain call
You'd walk through that door

Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love

Oh I read what you wrote
Feels like chains to me
You keep me tied up
With your talk about love
That never sets us free

When I read what you say
I hear desperation In every cliche

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
I know you haven't said all that's on your mind
We always used to keep an open line

I've seen you dancing with her
And there wasn't any music playing
I couldn't hear the words you were saying
Oh no, do you love her?

I've seen you buying her things
I stood silently, afraid you might see me
Thinking how that girl used to be me

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

I've heard talk goin's round about you
They say you've taken up with somebody new
And they say you're still crazy
But I'm still crazy about you
And do you remember

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Good old days are ridin' on my mind
Flowing freely like a good time
Good old days and it's nice to have a friend
So we'll just sit and rock awhile

Navy blue sky outside my green room
Apple of my eye
Left way too soon
Got the window open
And I can see the sky
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon
Goodnight moon

Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she's seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before

Said I can't believe
It's been five long years
'Cause tonight they just seen to disappear

She thinks about him constantly
Picks up a paper and pen writes him every day
And every day puts the letter away

'Cause he'll come home
When he's tired of running around
He'll come home
She can feel it in her bones

Martin Page/Brian Fairweather)

Time hasn't healed the wound
I wish I was in her shoes
She's got the man I could never have
My kisses were never missed
How it hurts to be second best
Oh let me tell you what I have to do

I have your photograph
I have it hanging on my wall
You neither cry or laugh
Finding it hard to forget it all

Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To touch you
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

You won't see me cryin' anymore
And don't think because I mention your name
I still love you

When it hurts so bad
You got to let go
Can't let him know that he's really gotten to ya

And it hurts so bad
When you're all alone
Those ol' memories
Keep goin' through ya

Jamaica Sunday morning
April, 1803
Children at the harbor waitin' to see
There beyond the breakers
Heading into view
Sunlight in your sails
It was you

Let your love come easy
Let it fall with the summer rain
Let your love come easy
And watch it come down again and again

I'll keep the porch light burning brightly
Help you find your way
'Cause you've been known to get sidetracked, baby

Take a smile
And hold it longer
Take a tear
And let it roll down
Take a heart this ol' heart
And make it stronger
'Cause we all have to lose in love sometime

Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone's eyes you've never met
Who wants to get to know you
In someone's smile you can't forget

And if the music plays on in your mind
Take all the love that you can find
And if love takes you in

Larry got a job as a soda jerk
Worked five days bought a 55 Merc
He raised it in the front, he lowered in the back
Now, all the girls just call him Mercury Jack

He's the Merc man, how do you do?
Merc man, that's who
Merc man, he likes to cruise around

Did she tell you it's over
Did she throw you out in the night
And here you come to your other lover
Thinkin' that a restless heart
Will get you high again

But I've change the number
Of my telephone

John and Lucky saw me off
The whistle called the times
Just six days out to the coast
Just six days behind

But I've seen every state since then
And where my boys have gone
Is known to God and four strong winds

Nobody Knows

My eyes were open
I was reading every line
Yet somehow, I lost my place,
In the book of life.

Was I looking after jesus?

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
Sailin'
Out of my dreams

I'm skeptical of banana trees
'Cause they sway too much in the tropic breeze
I'm skeptical that the world is round
What keeps it up and what keeps me down?
I'm skeptical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you
Oh, oh babe
True blue you

Stay away leave me alone
Say away from my door
'Cause you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before
Don't want no excuses
I don't want no more lies
I don't like crying
So I keep it inside

If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way would you say
Lies that I wanted to hear
If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart would you start
Wearing me down again
I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone

(Daniel Moore)

Be my soul mate
Help me when I stumble
When I fall I need a helping hand
I'm not ashamed to tell the world I love you
Cause you're the beacon of the storm in which I am

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

I could retire on a Caterpillar tire
Somewhere on a river in the great US
The world slidin' by
Every day is July
Just tubin' down the river with my mind at rest

(Kim Carnes/Duane Hitchings)

Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Can anybody hear me
Does anybody know

The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again
And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance
You find it on the radio

When voices through the thin walls
Speak of aberrant behavior
And the videos
Her only saviour
She turns it on when they're all gone
The she turns and slips her high heels on
Shadows fill the room
And she starts movin'

(Steven Dorff/Milton Brown)

I'm waiting for the pain to go away
I though maybe that this would be the day
At noon I tried a little smile
Then I sat down and cried a while

What am I gonna do till you come home
What am I gonna do now that you're gone
What am I gonna do without you
What am I gonna do without a man

What am I gonna do
You do the best you can
What am I gonna do without you

Jenny loves John
But he doesn't care
Now that he loves another
I know that he's been getting his share
Sometimes want to tell her
But I wouldn't dare
And tonight when she calls
She won't know that I'm there
