I don't know why I get so down
Living high above the town
With all of life’s amenities
Taking care of all my needs
I don’t know why I get caught up
In little things that don’t add up
To all that much when pulled apart
But that’s too late when it’s blown your heart
Sometimes it feels like a dying
Sometimes it feels like a dying
I don’t know why I can not sleep
I lie awake digging deep
Into the promised land that was never found
I don't know why I get so down
Sometimes it feels like a drowning
Sometimes it feels like a drowning
I don’t know why I can not sleep
I lie awake digging deep
Into the promised land that was never found
I don't know why I get so down

I’m no stranger to loneliness
Loneliness won’t leave alone
Spent my life seeking happiness
Happiness wasn’t at home
Take my hand and walk me through that door
Take me to somewhere I’ve never been before
I’m no stranger to this old town
This old town is getting me old
Crossed the water for peace of mind
Peace of mind and lost my soul
Take my hand and walk me through that door
Take me to somewhere I’ve never been before
I’m no stranger to loneliness
Loneliness won’t leave alone

You gotta get yourself help
Before you go under
You gotta get yourself help
Before you fall asunder
You’ve lost too many days
With your masks and and your parades
You gotta let them dogs out
They is barking at your heels
You gotta see tomorrow
Where the sun will forever shine
Don’t you believe in tomorrow
And the last of summer wine
Just like mother’s pride
You got nothing to hide but the devil inside

When I fell in love with you
There was nothing I could do
You were pulling me under
Under the water
I had a dream I couldn’t swim
And the sky was caving in
It sounded like thunder
It tasted like slaughter
When I fell in love with you
There was nothing I could do
You were pulling a number
I was chasing disaster
Like a needle in a groove
There was nowhere I could move
I was stuck in a circus
I was searching for laughter
Now you ask me how I feel
Now its as clear as steel
I couldn’t find reason
And I couldn’t find pleasin’
It felt like sabotage
Emotional sabotage

A song within a song
Which rang out all night long
I couldn’t hear the tune
From staring at the moon
It sounded familiar
But couldn’t quite place it
Kept playing again
From the start
A dance within a dance
Which held me in a trance
I couldn’t bear to see
What stood in from of me
And if I had a voice I would
Tear your heart out with a song

What's Becoming Of Me
03:09
|
|||
I got time for no one
And no one’s got time for me
I sit hear staring
At the lonely sea
Far out on the horizon
I could hear the sirens scream
Did the sun get in my eyes then
Or was I blinded by a dream
I do declare
I’m down I swear
And I can’t believe
What’s becoming of
What’s becoming of me
I live in a big house
But it’s caving in on me
Nowhere left to go to
There’s nowhere I want to be
I do declare
I’m down I swear
And I can’t believe
What’s becoming of
What’s becoming of me

It’s raining I know and it sure looks bad
As I’m passing thru my home town
It couldn’t be worse if I was stuck in a hearse
Dressed up in a silken gown
Don’t let the weather, don’t let the weather
Don’t let the weather get you down
Obit’aries read straight out of bed
Over the morning tea
And leaving some bread on top of the garden shed
For the birds to make it back to sea
Don’t let the weather, don’t let the weather
Don’t let the weather get you down
Play, play come out and play
Before you wish your life away
Sing, sing what can you sing
You wouldn’t stand a round in the ring
The face in the cloud looks like the Turin Shroud
And it’s becoming abundantly clear
As mama would say in her peculiar way
You’re up the paddle with no creek I fear
Don’t let the weather, don’t let the weather
Don’t let the weather get you down

It’s A New Day Again
03:39
|

No more sad songs
Or going mad songs
Enough of those songs
From now on
Why hesitate you
Go on, go on you
What is wrong you
For so long
It’s a new day each and ev’ry morning
It’s a fine day to begin
You can take it, as far as you can make it
It’s a new day again
You’ve been going
Around in circles
You’ve been losing
Your mind
If you let you
Step outside you
It may surprise you
What you find
It’s a new day each and ev’ry morning
It’s a fine day to begin
You can take it, as far as you can make it
It’s a new day
A new day each and ev’ry morning
It’s a fine day to begin
You can take it, as far as you can make it
It’s a new day again

You knew what I was looking for
Before I did
You saw something inside of me
You saw the dream that I hid
Behind an eternal summertime
Each day repeating a pantomime
You knew what I was looking for
Before I did
You gave me courage I never knew
I could possess
Strength to admit I had been untrue
Lord, help me, now I confess
Yes, I have left so much behind
Searching for something I couldn’t find
You knew what I was looking for
Before I did

You Gotta Believe
03:33
|
|||
I know the darkness inside
I know the pain it can hide
I know there’s much to be done
I know we’re all on the run
You gotta believe
You gotta believe
I know I have been weak
I know I’ve kissed every cheek
I know the high and the low
I know when there’s nowhere to go
You gotta believe
You gotta believe
When there’s no way out
When you can’t break through
When you’re lost in doubt
Without a point of view
I know
I know
You gotta believe
You gotta believe
