1.Days Gone By
(paul cotton)
I've seen a picture from the days gone by
Lookin' worn and withered, i heard a lonely cry
Of what could have been
And what wasn't quite
Now i'm swearin' to the wind
We were doin' it right
Here in the night so far away from it all
Out of my sight, how far down did we fall
From grace created
Oh how we related
In the picture from the days
The days gone by
You were letting your friends get in the upper hand
I had to turn the other way
You could not understand
And now we're out on our own
You have to wonder what lasts
When all that's left to recognize
Is a scene from the past
Here in the night so far away from it all
Out of my sight, how far down did we fall
How far down did we fall
How far down did we fall
(in the days gone by)
2.This Old Flame
(reed neilson)
Guess i should accept the call
But i really don't know what to say
The operator won't let me talk at all
And she says you want me to pay
Oh well it ain't nothin' new
It fits right with my picture of you
But tonight you're gonna find out
What these tears are all about
Chorus:
'cause this old flame went out
You never thought you'd be the one
In the darkness now
I think you know what i'm talkin' about
This old flame went out
You went to get cigarettes
That was last july, you didn't get home yet
And now you expect me to hear you out
You call me collect, there ain't no doubt
Repeat chorus
What do you mean, how can i do this to you?
Let's not forget who walked out on who
Repeat chorus
3.Daylight
(rusty young)
Standin' in the hurricane
Just to feel the midnight rain
It won't wash away the stain left on your heart
Starin' at a liar's moon
Hypnotized by your own gloom
Prayin' that the daylight soon will rescue you
Chorus:
Ah, she's callin' you
When will daylight break through
Ah, she's beggin' you
Daylight, won't you come through
Daylight
Daylight
Another night what will you do
Caught between the sun and moon
Starin' out the window, when will daylight come
And every moment moves so slow
Every move against the flow
Close your eyes and let it go, just let it go
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
4.Odd Man Out
(paul cotton)
You got me turnin' to the left
You got me twisted to the right
Woman all i'm askin' is
Is anything all right?
You got me waiting in the day
I'm waiting long into the night
Baby don't you hear me say
Hey, is anything all right
With the ball in your court
You gotta cut me short
When there's nothin' left to lose
Ain't i the one you use?
I'm going down to the very last inning
I'm getting out, it was a tough beginning
No time to take maybe one last shot
Too late to find my blood running hot
Chorus:
From a whisper to a shout
Ain't i the odd man out
From a whisper to a shout
And i'm the odd man out
We were together livin' separately
Like a vcr without a tv screen
One more day, one more bad habit
Three words to say, that's all: 'i've had it'
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
5.How Many Moons
(paul cotton)
How many moons
How many moons
Has it been since i've seen your face
Seems like forever
Seems like i'll never
Ever get back to that place
Where it all began and the time just ran on through
How many moons must there be before i see you?
How many days
How many ways
Have i imagined i've heard your voice
Seems like a dream
I'm caught in between
And for me there is no other choice
But to get in the wind once more time again
I'm not livin' too well like this
How many moons must i be away from your kiss
She brings the spirit how i can hear it
The spirit of romance
Something to believe in i want to give in
With every golden chance
How many times
So fresh in my mind
I see my hands run all over you
Beautiful dream
I'm caught in between
Guess i'll never be through
Wishin' on the moon
I'm wishin' on the moon
6.When You Love Somebody
(rusty young)
There's a ribbon wrapped around your heart
A tender moment sparks against the dark
Pieces so faithfully fall one by one
When you love someone
When you love someone
Promises we'd break along the way
Well sometimes darlin', that's the price we pay
But all of those unspoken screams
Just fade away
When you love someone
When you love someone
Hey what's it do to you
When someone loves you too
Is that happiness always gonna stand by you
If you love someone
Repeat first verse
7.Brenda X
(paul cotton)
Well, she don't change horses in midstream
She got but one heart and one dream
She had a feelin' i was runnin' scared
In the face of trouble we took a dare
To be one, to be two
Way below this burnin' sun
I swear there isn't anyone but you
Don't have to tell nobody just how we feel
They can take one look and they know it's real
Straight out of heaven through the confusion
Comes an eleven, she brings the truth to me
To be one, to be two
Way below this burnin' sun
I swear there isn't anyone but you
I was driftin' in my mind
Thought i was goin' blind
She saved my life in time
Ain't gonna be nobody's fool
Just when i thought it would not blow over
Straight out of nowhere comes a lover
Bringin' the things i'd never heard of
And all the dreams i could not be sure of
To be one, to be two
Way below this burnin' sun
I swear there isn't anyone but you
8.Standing In The Fire
(paul cotton)
Well i'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows i'm a workin' man
In some ways it's either sink or swim
These days i don't mind givin' in
You get but one chance to go 'round
And make the most of what i found
I'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows i'm a workin' man
I've been out of work for such a long long time
Every day down in the factory line
Gettin' on some kind, any kind of good news
Only knowin' there's nothin' left to lose
You get but one chance to go round
And make the most of what i found
I get to work on time every single day
Till the robot takes my job away
You never get out of this worried life
I do what i can while i'm markin' time
I bet,walk away i'm on sacred ground
Long long way from this factory sound
I'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows i'm a workin' man
In some ways it's either sink or swim
These days i don't mind givin' in
I'm standing in the fire again
I'm standing in the fire again
9.Save A Corner Of Your Heart
(rusty young)
Save a corner of your heart for me
Keep it for a rainy day
Just a little touch
You won't miss it much
Won't you save, save it for me
Well i'm not the kind who keeps track of time
Still i've seen the seasons change
It's such a subtle move, such a gentle groove
You don't feel it slip away
Repeat chorus
Oh it can't be long we must carry on
There's so much we have to do
But every time i hear lovers whisper near
I will always think of you, won't you...
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Just toe the line for now
I'll get back there somehow
Give it a chance you'll see
Repeat chorus
10.The Storm
(rusty young)
Look at all the raindrops fall from the sky tonight
Just so many teardrops searchin' for a place to hide
Fallin' from the dark clouds descendin' on their way
Baby aren't those raindrops just like you and i
Won't you listen to your heart
Tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near
Runnin' from the storm
Icy winds are blowin' autumn leaves across the sky
There's no way for us to catch them even if we try
Hiding from the dark clouds that send them on their way
Baby aren't those fallin' leaves just like you and i
Won't you listen to your heart
Tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near
We're runnin' from the storm
Won't you listen to your heart tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near
Look into your heart and tell me what you see
Is it just a day or how it has to be
Runnin' from the storm
Runnin' from the storm
