Josephine

There's rain on my window
But I'm thinking of you
Tears on my pillow
But I will come through
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
And every single step I take
I take for you
Josephine

There's a storm on my radar
But I can still fly
And you are the reason
The blue in my sky
Josephine

A life without meaning
I was walking away
In the coldest of winters
Night becomes day
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
And every single step I take
I take for you
Josephine

That's what they always say

At the first bell of the day
They rise up from where they lay
And look down with the promise in their hands
A promise to get out
This ain't what it's all about
There's always lots of reasons for their plans
When that golden sun shines through
There's always one more thing to do
Just one more stab into the wishing well

That's what they always say
I'm getting out
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing left in my way
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say

I'm getting out, I'm holding on
I'm hanging in, the time is wrong
And every morning brings another reason
A piece of cake, no lion share
Just one more dice and you'll be there
That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say
I'm getting out
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing left in my way
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say

Tomorrow is another day
The money junkie fades away
That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say
I'm getting out
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing left in my way
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say

The road to hell (part 2)

Well I'm standing by the river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just pieces of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell

1975

Yes I do

In the morning she brings music
Takes the dark clouds from my eyes
Gives me something to hang on to
When the cold wind fills the skies
And you ask me do I love her
Yes I do!

You tell me she could leave me
This love could make me cry
All I know is I want it
And I feel it deep inside
So just ask me do I love her
Yes I do!

Tomorrow is tomorrow
I just know about today

In this great big world
Would it be too much to see
Little joy come my way
So just ask me do I love her
Yes I do!

I'm taking the day out

I'm taking the day out
I'm slipping away
I know what you're thinking
But please not today

Tell me tomorrow or never at all
'Cos I know so maybe I'll give you a call

I'm taking the day out
yea taking the day out

Tell me tomorrow or never at all
I know what you're after
I'll give you a call
I'm taking the day out
yea taking the day out

Loving you again

It's been so long now since we first met
But the time and place I will never forget
Darling, never

Trough good and bad we stood the tested time
You say I'm yours and darling you're still mine
Forever

So smile for me
'Cos it's there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

And I'll keep holding on girl I won't let go
I want you near me where ever I go
Please say, forever

And I give thanks for what you've given me
And in my heart girl there'll always be
A light
That shines through the darkest night
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

So smile for me
'Cos it's there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

Through the rain and tears
till the sun dries up the sea
till the rivers they run dry
I'm gonna be loving you again
