You still got that light in your eye
And our day is comin??™ by and by
I??™m travellin??™ this long road to be with you
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

The first time I set eyes on you, and I listened to you sing, yeah yeah
We didn??™t have to speak cause the words said everything
Yes you walked right into my life, and we were on our way, yeah
So long ago, but it feels like yesterday.

And I just wanna tell you...

You still got that light in your eye (yes you do)
And our day is comin??™ by and by
I??™m travellin??™ this long road to be with you
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

Now some of my best memories are days I spent with you, yeah
Each time we hit the road it was always somethin??™ new
Spaced out rather drunk
And singin??™ in the sun, yeah yeah
One more bottle dead and a new day just begun.

I just wanna tell you...

You still got that light in your eye
And our day is comin??™ by and by
I??™m travellin??™ this long road to be with you
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

Shinin??™ light, shinin??™ bright on the days gone down
Shinin??™ light, shinin??™ bright on the days gone down
Shinin??™ light, shinin??™ bright on the days gone down

We won??™t forget the days gone down, they??™re written in our hearts, yeah yeah
And we??™re as much in tune as we were right at the start
It all seems so much harder now, it seemed so easy then, yeah yeah
Well someday just for fun we might do it all again.

I just wanna tell you...

You still got that light in your eye (yes you do)
And our day is comin??™ by and by
I??™m travellin??™ this long road to be with you
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

Yeah yeah still got that light in your eye
And our day is comin??™ by and by
I??™m travellin??™, travellin??™ (yeah yeah)
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.

Down the street the neon light shines
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can??™t say no.

Oh no no no
No no no no

The lights are low and the Muzak is loud
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
One more face in a palace of mirrors.

One more drink, you??™re sailing away
One more dream but it??™s looking ok
One more time to watch the flow of the river.

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can??™t say no.

Oh no no no
No no no no no no no oooooooh

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can??™t say no.

Oh no no no
No no no no

You??™ve seen it all yeah you??™ve seen it before
Like a fool you always come back for more
You live your life like there was no more tomorrow.

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can??™t say no.

Oh no no no
Oh no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no
No no
Oooooooooooh

Why won??™t you talk to me
I've done nothing wrong that I can see.

You know I can??™t take this silence, tell me what??™s wrong with you
If I??™m supposed to feel guilty, tell me what did I do
It must be a reason for you acting this way
But I swear I won??™t know it ???til you come out and say.

Why won??™t you talk to me
I've done nothing wrong that I can see.

I don??™t know why I??™m trying to break down this wall
That you build up between us or nothing at all
It feels like a bad dream, it feels like a game
But I swear this is one time that I??™m not to blame.

Why won??™t you talk to me
I've done nothing wrong that I can see.

Out on the street I was talkin??™ to a man
He said "there??™s so much of this life of mine that I don??™t understand"
You shouldn??™t worry yes that ain??™t no crime
Cause if you get it wrong you??™ll get it right next time (next time).

You need direction, yeah you need a name
When you??™re standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same
After a while you can recognize the signs
So if you get it wrong you??™ll get it right next time (next time).

Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
It??™ll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
No use complainin??™, don??™t you worry, don??™t you whine
Cause if you get it wrong you??™ll get it right next time (next time).

You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes
You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake
When you believe there??™s no mountain you can climb
And if you get it wrong you??™ll get it right next time (next time).

Next time, hmmmmm

I was caught up in a fever
In that summer of ???69
And my heart was cryin??™ out for change
And I knew time was comin??™ when I??™d get away.

So I moved down to that city
Where I met a friend of mine
And I must admit he tried to warn me well
With all those bad luck stories he could tell.

He said "Take the money and run,
Take the money and run
Believe it, in this town you can??™t trust anyone
You??™re gonna learn that lesson my son".

"Take the money and run,
Buy yourself a place in the sun
Don??™t be a fool, don??™t you trust anyone
You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".

He was broken, he was wasted
He??™d been brought down to his knee
And his heart was crying out for truth
You could see the whole world??™s sadness in his eyes.

So I took good care of business
At least as far as I could see
I could read the signs and I knew all the lines
But so many times his voice came back to me.

"Take the money and run,
Get it at the point of a gun
Believe it, in this town you can??™t trust anyone
You??™re gonna learn that lesson my son".

"Take the money and run,
Buy yourself a place in the sun
Don??™t be a fool, don??™t you trust anyone
You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".

I??™ve been wanderin??™ through this wasteland
Where the blind go leading the blind
And the only sound on the money-go-round
Was the million voices waiting to be found.

I could only hear a whisper
It was comin??™ from the one I loved
And her heart was saying this can??™t be right
All my wasted days and all her lonely nights.

Take the money and run,
Get it at the point of a gun
Believe it, n this town you can??™t trust anyone
You??™re gonna learn that lesson my son.

Take the money and run,
Buy yourself a place in the sun
Don??™t be a fool, don??™t you trust anyone
You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run.

When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony
You??™d sit there waiting in the wings
How long have you been waitin??™ to let your light shine?

Many years have gone since then
Seen us go our different ways
But now we sit here once again
Tonight we??™re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It??™s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

In all the years we had
As part of a family tree
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

I know it??™s left its mark on you
I see the same things in myself
You know there??™s nothin??™ we can??™t do
We??™ve been a long time waitin??™, but some things never die.

It??™s time to leave all that behind
It??™s time to lay that ghost to rest
We can??™t deny the ties that bind
Tonight we??™re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It??™s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing)
As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony)
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

When we were young we used to sing...

Once I had a dream
I could lean upon
Nothin??™s what it seems
It was already gone.

Dreams I shared with you
On our way back home
Watched it all come true
It was already gone.

I was waitin??™ for the sun to shine
But every day would bring the rain
I was down, but you changed my luck
And the dream was still the same.

I watched it fly away
Like a bird across the sky
Miles and miles and miles away
Yes, it??™s already gone.

I was waitin??™ for the sun to shine
But every day would bring the rain
I was down, but you changed my luck
And the dream was still the same.

I watched it fly away
Like a bird across the sky
Miles and miles and miles away
Yes, it??™s already gone.

(fade)
Yes, it??™s already gone.
Yes, it??™s already gone.

Yes it??™s back on the road again
I just got me some new-found friends
And it??™s alright, yeah it??™s alright.

Flew away at the speed of sound
I threw up when we touched down
But I??™m alright, I??™ll be alright.

New York??™s bakin??™ in the sun
Got the news it just made number one
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century.

That night in Amsterdam
You saw me for what I am
And you found out, yeah you found me out.

And I knew what I saw in you
And I still can??™t believe it??™s true
But I??™ll find out, I??™m gonna find out.

Meanwhile back down on Fifth Avenue
Raphael just bought some brand new shoes
Me, I??™m wiped out, I??™m dead on my feet
Come a long long way from Baker Street.

I??™m watchin??™ a night come down
And we??™re headin??™ for one more town
But it??™s alright, yeah it??™s alright.

Who cares what the night might bring
Cause we??™re ready for anything
So it??™s alright, yeah it??™s alright.

Heading??™ out across the U.S.A.
California??™s still a long long way
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century.

Starin??™ at the moon again
Yes you been out on the loose
You still feel like a haunted man
This kinda life just ain??™t no use.

It??™s gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long night.

You sit around and talk awhile
You go stealin??™ like a thief
The silence kills and the talk is cheap
And you don??™t get no relief.

It??™s gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long night.

She left her calling card
And said her last goodbyes
She found a way into your heart
And you lie there wondering why.

Gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long night.

It??™s gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long long long long lonely night.

You sit around and talk awhile
You go stealin??™ like a thief
The silence kills and the talk is cheap
And you don??™t get no relief.

It??™s gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long night.

It??™s gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long night.

It??™s gonna be a long night
Waitin??™ for the first light
It??™s gonna be a long night.
