Night Flight
We were two lonely travellers in the sky that night,
Two lonely travellers high flying,
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation,
Killing time in your shy, hesitating way,
Killing time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travellers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages.
We were two golden eagles in the sky today,
Two golden eagles high flying
Who swept through the air
To a secret lair
Flying free, slowly wheeling and gliding,
Flying free on the sea and the high plateau,
Flying free on the breeze without trying.
Two lonely travellers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers.
'Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world.
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds,
High above the world.
We were two lonely travellers in the sky that night,
Two lonely travellers high flying,
Alone in the night on an endless flight
Killing time with polite conversation,
Killing time in your shy hesitating way,
Killing time, killing my isolation
Two lonely travellers breaking ice
By opening up a few old back pages
And letting secrets out of their cages
But wanting to remain perfect strangers.
Cos I was on a night flight
Floating above the world.
Yes it was the moonlight
Painting the wings in pearl
High above the clouds,
High above the world.
Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world,
I could see the starlight
Silver a gypsy girl
High above the clouds,
High above the world.
Yes I was on a night flight
Floating above the world,

Maybe It's Just Love
Just like you I'm searching, always looking past horizons,
Not every time I'm finding what I want to lay my eyes on.
I'm not always knowing what I like to know
But here I am sitting with my favourite music on the radio.
Sometimes I smile at what I'm touching
Just because it's there for me to feel.
You know it doesn't really matter
If it's in my dreams or really real.
I'm not always getting what I like to get
But if I keep on moving it's enough to get me wet.
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talking,
I think they've got nothing much better to do.
They say you're looking for love and all,
Somebody strong and dark and tall,
Or maybe it's just love that's looking for you?
Just like you I'm searching, always looking past horizons,
Not every time I'm finding what I want to lay my eyes on.
Not always knowing what I like to know
But here I am sitting with my favourite music on the radio.
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talking,
I think they've got nothing much better to do.
They say you're looking for love and all,
Somebody strong and dark and tall,
But maybe it's just love that's looking for you?
'Cos everybody's wearing out their tongues just talking,
I think they've got nothing much better to do.
They say you're looking for love and all,
Somebody strong and dark and tall,
But maybe it's just love that's looking for you?
Oh, maybe it's just love that's looking for you.

Crazy Lovers
I know that you know that we know
As plain as the stars that are shining above
And I know that you know I wait for the morning
I wake up beside you, my love.
And all of the things that you thought you should tell me
Are all that I needed to know.
You told me our love was eternal;
Eternity's such a long time left to go.
Two crazy lovers we must find a way,
Hold on now, baby, I am on my way.
Book us a ticket on the midnight train,
You never know, darling, they might never see us again.
'Cos I know that you know that we know
As plain as the stars that are shining above
And I know that you know I wait for the morning
I wake up beside you, my love.
It seems that the world has been waiting to show us
A secret it's kept for so long
And, oh, how I know that it's love that has found us,
It's found us right where we belong.
Two crazy lovers we must find a way,
Hold on now, baby, I am on my way.
Book us a ticket on the midnight train,
You never know, darling, they might never see us again.
They might never see us again,
They might never see us again.
Two crazy lovers we must find a way,
Hold on now, baby, I am on my way.
Book us a ticket on the midnight train,
You never know, darling, they might never see us again.
Two crazy lovers we must find a way,
Hold on now, baby, I am on my way.
Book us a ticket on the midnight train,
You never know, darling, they might never see us again.
They might never see us again,
They might never see us again.

Penumbra Moon
Standing in the moonlight,
I saw you standing in the moonlight
With your hair a shining blue
And I shivered in the midnight air.
He was in the shadows,
He was hiding in the shadows,
Why he looked so dark and cold and lonely
Only heaven knows.
Oh, Penumbra,
Just like that moon
Some of it black,
Some of it bright,
Some of it blue.
Oh, Penumbra,
I'm just like you,
Feeling so shy,
Hiding behind
Somebody, too.
Oh, I'm just like you.
If I could have one wish
I'd take you on a starship
But I wouldn't know what to do with
All the love I have for you.
There's nothing much between us.
No, there's nothing much between us,
Even Mercury and Venus
Couldn't take me far from you.
Oh, Penumbra,
Just like that moon
Some of it black,
Some of it bright,
Some of it blue.
Oh, Penumbra,
I'm just like you,
Feeling so shy,
Hiding behind
Somebody, too.
Oh, I'm just like you.
Yes, I'm just like you.

Nearer To You
Nearer, nearer to you,
I've found that it's true that I'm feeling
Closer, closer by far,
I found that we are getting closer.
I'm nearer to you.
Every day I'm missing you so.
Darling, I know how you're feeling.
I see you so clear in my mind,
It's strange how I find that I'm moving....
Nearer to you.
It's strange but it's true.
My world would turn blue
Without you.
Come what may
I'll stay nearer to you.
Let me love you, love you tonight,
You'll see that I'm right, what I'm saying,
That love has brought us this far,
You know that we are getting nearer
I'm nearer to you,
It's strange but it's true.
My world would turn blue
Without you.
So, come what may
I'll stay nearer to you.
Nearer to you,
Come what may.
The things that you do
Every day.
Nearer to you,
Come what may.
Nearer to you,
Come what may.
It's strange but it's true,
All the way,
Nearer to you,
Every day.

A Face In The Crowd
Life is a struggle,
Baby, you got to choose.
Hear the call of the wild wind,
What have you got to lose?
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes,
I can see by your smile that you're ready,
Well, I'm ready too.
Oh, life is a puzzle,
Baby, you've got to try,
But don't let it get you,
Don't let it pass you by
'Cos here and now, darling,
Here and now you've got me
And something inside me tells me it's meant to be.
Will it be alright?
I'm getting a message from someone.
Will it turn out right?
It's not just a face in the crowd.
It's not just a face in the crowd,
Face in crowd.
Will it be alright?
I'm getting a message from someone.
Will it turn out right?
It's not just a face in the crowd.
It's not just a face in the crowd,
Face in crowd.
Life is a struggle,
Baby, you got to choose.
Hear the call of the wild wind,
What have you got to lose?
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes,
I can see by your smile that you're ready,
Well, I'm ready too.
So just close your eyes,
I'm getting a message from someone.
Through a clear blue sky.
It's not just a face in the crowd,
It's not just a face in the crowd,
Face in crowd.

Suitcase
Sometimes when I'm dreaming
And I'm far away from home
I kind of get the feeling
That I'm never quite alone.
I just can't help but think about you, baby.
Time is of the essence
And the candle's burning low,
Remind me to remember
That there's not so far to go.
I just can't help but think about you, baby.
The places that I've been to,
Trying to see them through her eyes
Like the picture from the childhood
That I thought I'd left behind.
See, I just can't help but think about you, baby.
The sunrise in the morning
And the glory that was ours
Is captured in a moment,
Making love among the stars.
I just can't help but think about you, baby.
Thinking, thinking, thinking about my baby.
I just can't help but think about my baby.
You're always on my mind

I'm Sorry
Why don't you write me,
Call me on the 'phone,
Send Western Union?
You can find me home.
I said I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
You know I bled you,
Led you on a lie;
You say I fooled you.
Who's the the fool tonight?
I said I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
High love in motion,
Walking in the ocean of your sorrow.
Round, turn the tables,
Lost, I am a man with no tomorrow.
You know, lop-sided loving
Got me in the end.
Looks like I'm done for,
Now there's no pretending
That I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
High love in motion,
Walking in the ocean of your sorrow.
Round, turn the tables,
Lost, I am a man with no tomorrow.
I said why don't you write me,.
Call me on the 'phone,
Send Western Union?
You can find me home.
I said I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.

It's Not On
Beyond the tears,
Behind her eyes,
She feels the need
To rationalise,
To catch the thought
That can't be caught
And hold it for a while.
Behind her lies
She sees the truth
But still she tries
To hold on fast
To dreams that last
No longer than a smile
It's not on.
Too much has come between us.
Too much has gone
And in our hearts
We both know
That it's just not on.
The feeling's gone,
And in our hearts
We both know
That it's just no on.
It's funny how,
As time goes by,
Some feelings grow
While othjers die
But who are we
To disagree
With what our hearts dictate?
And only fools
Who dare ignore
The empty hours
That lie in store
For those who strive
To keep alive
Too little love too late.
It's not on.
Too much has come between us.
Too much has gone
And in our hearts
We both know
That it's just not on.
The feeling's gone,
And in our hearts
We both know
That it's just not on
.
No, it's just not on.

Bedtime Stories
Lay alongside me, beautiful lady,
Dark as the blackest hour of night,
Deep in my body, warm and lazy,
Under the sheets and out of sight.
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories?
Let me close my eyes and drift away.
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories,
Tell me in a very special way.
Rolling and tumbling, sweet sensation,
Doing the thing we both do best,
Making the most of a situation.
I can't stop this pounding in my chest.
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories?
Let me close my eyes and drift away.
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories,
Tell me in a very special way.
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories?
Oh I love to close my eyes and drift away.
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories,
Tell me in a very special way.
Watching the night lights through the window,
Sounds of the city on the run,
Shadows of lovers in the moonglow.
I feel like my life has just begun.
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories?
Let me close my eye and drift away.
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories,
Tell me in a very special way.
Won't you tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories?
Let me close my eye and drift away.
Tell me, tell me, tell me bedtime stories,
Tell me in a very special way.
