Now I, I liked the way you Dance so Lonely, And I liked the way you stood your ground. An' sometimes they judged this boy so lonely. But then you could see he stood his ground. Now I, I walked behind you to see your shuffle step An' you're a down dealer holdin' your georgette An' in that golden hour Before you found your queen Did you think that hand would give you a life, A life you could redeem? A life that you could redeem. The nights that you'd never see. The life that you would redeem. The nights that you'd never see. Now I, I liked the way you Dance so Lonely, And I liked the way you stood your ground. An' sometimes you judged this boy so lonely. But then you could see he stood his ground. But then you could see he stood his ground. To a life that you'd never see. A life that you could redeem. A life that you'd never see. A life that you could redeem The nights that you 'd never see.

And you stand up with your tight black blue jeans And you sang your song But you know I won't be won   An' in your love of life, your frights, your sights They took away your song Away your song   But oh' when the lights come Oh oh' But oh' when the night falls  I'll walk you home to the love of the life that I thought you knew The love that you knew   And when the sunshine breaks the dawn of day  You said there's only one That there was only one   But oh' when the lights come they'll take you down But oh' when the night falls  I'll walk you home to the love of the life that I thought you knew   The love that you knew And you stand up with your tight black blue jeans And you sang your song But you know I won't be won

Cuz you remind me of someone I haven't yet met And days I haven't lived yet. An' you remind me of someone I haven't yet met And days I haven't lived yet. But the promise of a long ride home. And the promise of a long ride home. And you taught me in ways That ended tomorrow. You told me of days That ended in sorrow. But I wanted more. I wanted more. An' don't you raise your hands to mine. Break light and all thats fine, There's more for you tonight. An' don't you raise your hands to mine. Break light and all that's fine, There's more for you tonight. Cuz you remind me of someone I haven't yet met And days I haven't lived yet. An' you remind me of someone I haven't yet met And days I haven't lived yet. But the promise of a long ride home. The promise of a long ride home. An' don't you raise your hands to mine. An' don't you raise your hands to mine. Don't you Raise your Hands to mine.

These Days 02:19
And these days you have got me thinking  Bout' my ways. Bout my ways. And these days you have got me thinking  Bout' my ways. Bout my ways. An' Mama don't let your babies run around. An' Papa don't let your ladies run around. And these days you have got me thinkin'  Bout' my ways. Bout my ways. And these days you have got me thinking  Bout' our ways. Bout our ways. An' Mama don't let your babies run around An' Papa don't let your ladies run around Cuz these days you have got me thinking  Bout' our ways. Bout our ways. An' these days you have got me thinking  Bout' our ways. Bout' our ways. An' these days you have got me thinking  Bout' our ways. Bout' our ways. An' Mama don't let your babies run around. An' Papa don't let your ladies run around. Cuz they won't be comin' home... Cuz' they won't be comin' home... Cuz' they won't be comin' Be comin' home.

Intentions 01:59
An' you were not intending to see All that that night laid out for you and me. An' when the night fell into day You were not all that you had meant to say. And then you walk away Because you couldn't say Of all the times and all your crimes And all the things you'd say And when the light fell into dawn You were not all that you had seeked and sought And when the night fell in to day You were not all that you had meant to say And then you walk away Because you couldn't say Of all your times and all your crimes And all the things you'd say And then you walk away Because you couldn't say Of all your times and all your crimes And all The things You'd say

Wide Life 03:04
An 'now you turn to me to say After the night, you wouldn't stay And all the while I heard you say You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. And when that night Had made its way You turned  You turned your sights And you You made your way And you And all the while I heard you say You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. And now the years  Have made their way And you.. You've seen your sights And you.. You've made your way And you.. And all the while I heard you say You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. You want a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide life. But you heard nothin' An' I heard nothin' An' you heard nothin' An' I heard nothing But you heard nothin' An' I heard nothin'

Berlin 02:30
An' where are you my black sabbath eyes? I waited for you at the drive-in I hope you're getting healthy and they don't make you stay inside too long I fell down drunk eye straight to the ice Bruised and Black, Don't look too nice. I'm on my way, just a little bit bruised I sleep in a room all alight with you. I guess this might take longer than i thought I'll try to be home before you are gone. And where were you? When the night's come. Where were you? When the nights gone. Where were you? Cuz the nights are long And the days are gettin' cold But we tried. And the nights are long And the day's are gettin' cold But we tried. And where were you? When the night's come. Where were you? When the nights gone. Where were you? An' where are you my black sabbath eyes? I waited for you at the drive-in I hope you're getting healthy and they don't make you stay inside too long I fell down drunk eye straight to the ice Bruised and Black, Don't look too nice. I'm on my way, just a little bit bruised I sleep in a room all alight with you. I guess this might take longer than i thought I'll try to be home.. Before you are gone. Before you are gone. Before you are gone…..

Lifetime 02:04
An' when she told me your name That day I knew that things would never be the same About the days that you hadn't stayed An' then i break down  I stop and I turn around I think of all the things The things that you might say An' I think of your lifetime An' I think of you all of the time Cuz all I wanted was your time An' all I wanted was your time. Cuz' then i break down  I stop and I turn around I think of all the things The things that you might say An' then i break down  I stop and I turn around I think of all the things The things that you might say

Sister 02:40
My dear Sister I thought If you wait one more day There might be much less to say Than you had thought Cuz' in these last days When the night had its say You had found out all those things of what you're not So don't wait too long An' don't wait too long My dear brother I saw In the line of your draw A life of all of the things of what you've sought Cuz in these last days when the night had its say You had found out all those things of what you're not So don't wait too long An' don't wait too long My dear lovers I saw in line of your draw The light of all of the signs of what you seek Cuz in these last days When the Light has its way You found of all of the signs of what you've sought So don't wait too long An' don't wait too long... Before The Night is Gone.

Happiness 02:51
Oh and did you lay yourself down by his side? Oh an did you lay yourself down by his side? Oh and did you lay yourself down by his side? Cuz your happiness was the days that you'd won And your happiness became the ways that you'd done And your happiness was the ways that you'd won Oh and did you wonder if you could make things right? Oh and did you wonder if you'd make it through that night? Oh and did you wonder if you could make things right? Cuz your happiness was the days that you'd won And your happiness became the ways that you'd won And your happiness was the ways that you'd won Oh and did you wonder if you could make things right? Oh and did you wonder if you'd make it through that night? Oh and did you wonder if you could make things right.
