Late at night and I still keep hearing the rain Late at night and I still keep thinking of love again Late at night and I still keep thinking of answers to the questions That you said I couldn’t figure out if I try Early morning, the shade’s drawn, I look at the sky Blue moon in the clouds, gaze up at the sun as I fly Roll on with the wind but girl don’t cry tonight Cause you got to fight the storm to see the light Let the rain fall, let it rain on everyone Let the rain fall, don’t you know it’s so much fun When the games you play & the words you say follow you as you run Will they be there to catch you when the morning comes? Take all of your change & put some gas in the car We’ll play all your records & dance in the dark You know I don’t have a lot but I got a guitar & a star So baby pack your case cause we’re going far Let the rain fall, let it rain on everyone Let your love call, cause it reminds you of the sun Of the flowers in May & a small café & the things that you have done Open up your heart cause it’s just begun Of the flowers in May & a small café & the things that you have done Let the rain fall
2.
It’s time to start over again And I know and I know and I know It’s a matter of when But it ain’t no time to pretend See the light in the darkness Hey brother, how have you been? Don’t you know it’s hard It’s so hard To move on up when you worry bout finding a friend But boy, you got a long way to go See the world as it is but you got to love the people you know And just like a flower, soon you will grow The brand new morning is saying hello Wont ya look at the sunshine Just look at the sunshine And you’ll know where to go Don’t you worry if you are to fall Cause life will catch you whenever you call And I know and I know and I know That you’re feeling small Just remember livin without love isn’t livin at all But to live, you do And I’m talking to you Yeah you yeah you Yeah we’re climbin up to the other side of the wall Won’t ya look at the sunshine Just look at the sunshine And you’ll know where to go Hip hip A brand new morning is saying hello Hello Hello Hello.

It Goes On 03:26
Early morning on the way Train ticket far far away Two tickets old fashion scent Out on the street again I didn’t know what time could do Until it brought me here with you And all the love I have to send Don’t play pretend It goes on & on & on & on & on You told me you were from uptown But you didn’t wanna hang around So we went down to the hole Where the grass is growing old I said that I liked your smile And you asked me to stay for a while And your love it felt alright In the heat of the night It goes on & on & on & on & on
4.
Things to Do 02:51
Thinking of things to do Trying to follow you Something to pull you through Oh you think they know about time? Or the fragments all in your mind? Girl you think they know about time? River is turning blue Ocean across the room High wind is coming soon Oh you think they know about time? There’s a lonely heart you can find Girl you think they know about time? Doo doo doo doo Stars walk along the moon Nightmare in the saloon Flying like a balloon Oh you think they know about time? Or the one thing that’s all on your mind? Girl it’s something that’s so hard to find
5.
Lover 04:29
There are nights when I feel myself fading away And times in the morning I thought it would end But in the dark you found me there standing alone You showed me the way, my long lost friend And on our own, face to face I know you saved me, Lover You brought the light to help me through And there is no other person like you here There are days when I feel my conscience doubting me And times when I wish I had excuse to leave But I know that you’re the one that always understands I might have been lost but then you took my hand I know just how it feels I want to thank you, Lover
6.
I'm gonna go somewhere I'm gonna go somewhere you don't know Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh I wanna go somewhere I wanna go somewhere you don't know I'm gonna go somewhere I'm gonna go somewhere you don't know Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh
7.
You left town just the other day & I didn’t know what to say But you been on my mind since you been gone Cause all the time just slips away, I guess that’s the price you pay When you’re staying in all night & drinking alone But oh, life gets hard sometimes And you can’t make it on your own So go take a walk outside, find something to ease your mind And pick up your telephone cause I need you now Oh I’m sending out my heart & I’m sending it to you Oh I’m sending, oh I’m sending out my heart No the world won’t wait at all & you know that it goes on You weren’t ready for goodbye but you know we said we’d try Try to draw the line but you said you’d end up crying So you’d rather drink your wine & sit out in the clear sunshine But baby, here comes the rain, time to start again To take everything that you own, try to find yourself a home Or a shoulder to cry on, oh i need you now So I’m sending out my heart & I’m sending it to you Oh I’m sending, oh I’m sending out my heart Oh I’m sending (a lot of times) Out my heart, out my heart
8.
In the meantime would you like to find a place where we can go? In the meantime would you like to find a ways to be alone? Alone, alone, I wanna go, oh In the meantime, would you like to get a ticket to the show? In the meantime, would you leave another kiss before I know? Alone, alone, I wanna go, oh It’s all alike, when we collide, all the moons and stars align Into a world that’s far behind me, oh, I’ll go In the meantime, would you like to find a hole inside the road? In the meantime would you like to take a break and have a smoke? Alone, alone, so alone, oh When we collide, I realize there are no minutes and no time I feel the love inside your eyes and oh, I’ll go
9.
If I told you I was leaving, Would you paint me a picture goodbye? If I saw you for the last time, Would I even cross your mind? Well I’ve tried to change but everything is still the same All the stars illuminate and the sun rises to bring a new day So in the morning I’ll be gone If I picked a dozen roses from a garden full of love, Would you cry? If I found a golden ticket to the moon, Would there be sadness in your eyes? Well I’ve gotta say, sometimes things turn out that way Life is one big story play, and the daffodils will blossom in May
10.
Take a look at yourself, are you weeping? Do you realize now what you have done? There’s someone home but they are sleeping Drop your weapons girl, and run But don’t you feel the thunder in the night? Can’t you feel the cold wind as it bites? Did you miss the way things were alright, or were you in paradise? We’re saying goodbye To light in our eyes Seeing places that we thought we couldn’t find The meaning of life The passing of time We’re two different people We’re on our own We found our way home Flying high into the unknown Like rolling a stone And living alone We’re two different people Look up to the sky And let yourself fly You found the places that made you feel alive The days of our lives What happened in time We’re two different people We’re two different people
11.
Tried to telephone ya When you told me were leaving soon And I didn’t mean to warn ya But I’ll be here now inside my room I’m alone It’s alright The stars are out tonight And the sun is beneath us And when I wake up in the morning I know that it’s gonna shine And I’ll kiss the ground upon it As I remember that you were mine It’s okay, life goes on Just like the setting sun Turns around in the new day But it’s funny how the nighttime looks As sunset slips away And you know that it takes so long To get home Searching for an answer To the problems in the clear blue sky And I never was a dancer But I know what it feels like when you try To come back to your life After a great big fight With yourself or your old friends Now is there a solution To the troubles floating all around? Can we stop the air pollution? Do you notice you feel like falling down And not up? Buttercup Do you realize that it’s enough? Time to try and move yourself on But it’s funny how the new days feel When the old ones all have gone And you know that it takes so long To get home Get Home
