Standin In The Rain

(concerto for a rainy day...)
(rain...)
Im standing in the rain
Im waiting all alone
Im so tired
I wanna go home.
Im standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Im doing my best
But what do I get?
Im standing in the rain
Cant seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.
Im standing in the rain
Its teeming down on me
Cats & dogs
I wanna be free.
Im standing in the rain
Doing my thing

Telephone Line

Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
Thats what Id say, Id tell you everything,
If youd pick up that telephone.
Hey--how you feelin
Are you still the same
Dont you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just cant believe
Theyve all faded out of view.
I look into the sky
(the love you need aint gonna see you through.)
And I wonder why
(the little things are finally coming true.)
Chorus
Telephone line, give me some time, Im living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, Im living in twilight
O.k. so no--ones answering,
Well cant you just let it ring a little longer
Ill just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.

Love Or Money

Just dont look, no matter what they say
Dont let her get to you, make her go away
But youre only human
And the best laid plans of men go astray
So all your good sense
Goes out the door
When you see that girl walk across the floor
Too late youve seen her
Youve had a glimpse of paradise
Chorus
You never want to have to choose
Is it love or money now
Even if you win you lose
Is it love or money now
Ill close my eyes, I dont want to see you
Just go ahead say what you will
And Ill agree
I dont want illusions
Dont want confusions anymore
Chorus

Secret Message

A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call,
They sing, they play, they dance
For you, from out of the blue,
What can you do?
Chorus:
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere
Where words cascade like rainbows tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there
When messages will call to you their secrets all around
Without a sound, they're all around
Chorus:
Those secret messages that spill into the air from far away
So far away
A flowing river of illusion running with confusion

New World Rising

New dawn, smiling down the old blue world
Can you feel it, like the first of spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you
Daylight, everyone hears the sound
Hey, goodmornin, how you doin, well Im doin fine
Its nearly nine I must be gone
I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care
Hey there, why dont you join me Ill be glad to know you
Take some time out, would you like to work or play
Or wander slowly through this bright new day
Everyone laughs, cant believe whats goin on round here
New world risin, everybody kicked their blues away
Not for today but evermore
I see no sorrow now
Nobody has a care
New day, smiling down on the world
Can you feel it, like the first of spring
The bells are ringing out a little tune for you

Nightrider

I remember somewhere in the rain,
The faces of the passers-by,
Staring faces broken blinds,
I recall the situation clearly standing in a crowded car,
I can feel the need in me.
Chorus:
Hold on, nightrider baby,
Hold on youre a nightrider,
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.
I still see that vision of delight,
While cruising on the black of night,
But she keeps a step ahead,
Looking out the corner of her world,
Nobody ever knows a girl, who once lived along this way.
Chorus: repeat
Desolation degradation row,
Dont let the feeling show,
Shes a ten a penny dream,
Faces with no name and no address,

The Lights Go Down

(the lights go down...)
One day
I gotta get out of here
I gotta make everything clear
I gotta see you, oh, oh.
I know
The way that I feel is wrong, so wrong
But I gotta carry on
When you aint around.
Chorus:
I believe things are going wrong
And the night goes on and on
All your dreams have flown away
And the sun wont shine today.
The lights go down (I want you, baby)
The lights go down (I need you, baby)
The lights go down
And theres no one around.
I know
Youre waiting so close to me

Daytripper

Gotta good reason
Were taking the easy way out
Gotta good reason
Were taking the easy way out
She was a daytripper, one way to go, yeah
Took me so long to find out, I found out
Tried to please her
She only played when I can
Tried to please her
She only played when I can
She was a daytripper, one way to go, yeah
Took me so long to find out, I found out
She was a teaser
She took me half the way there
She was a teaser
She took me half the way there
She was a daytripper, some days rather, yeah
Took me so long to find out, I found out
Daytripper, one day for you, yeah
It took me so long to find, I found out

Lucky Man

Im very lucky I think youll agree
Ive lost the key to my front door
I cant get in there anymore, oh my
Ive lost the key to my loves heart
Its down the drain and in the dark, oh my
Im very lucky I think youll agree
As I was riding home from work
I saw a robber steal a shirt, oh my
I shouted oi! and yelled stop! thief!
The policeman booked me for disturbing the peace, oh my
Im very lucky I think youll agree
As I was swimming in the sea
I came across a bomb or three, oh my
I took them to the coastguard man
Who said hurry up and get th..., oh my
Im very lucky I think youll agree
Ive lost the key to my front door
I cant get in there anymore, oh my
Ive lost the key to my loves heart
Its down the drain and in the dark, oh my

Without Someone

I watch the cars move
I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street
Im only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall
It hardly moves at all
Its you Im waiting for.
Chorus:
Without someone I can depend on
Im lost without someone
As I go on, I hope youre remembering Im lost without someone.
All alone, no one around
I watch the shadows falling faster
The city lights begin to glow
And then I start to realize
I count the hours as they slip away
Into another day
Wondering where youll stay.
Repeat chorus
Still watching the cars move
