As The World Turns


(Ferry)

There´s a place in my heart
All broken and still
Where I may wander alone.
At the end of the day
As the world turns
I turn to thoughts of home
Though you´re far away I imagine
How you would smile at this romance
And sure enough
As the world turns
And so to games of chance.
Take my part in this play
You´re dealing me words I never could use
That strange beginning has no ending
When curtain falls we both lose
Though we´re far apart on this old carousel
The ups and downs we share
Just remember surely as the world turns
In dreams I will be there by your side.

As Time Goes By


(Hupfeld)

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
as time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
as time goes by
Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
as time goes by

   

Baby I Don't Care


(Leiber,Stoller)

You don´t like crazy music
You don´t like rockin´ bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holdin´ hands
You´re so square
But baby, I don´t care
You don´t like hot rod racin´
Or drivin´ late at night
You just wanna park where it´s nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight
You so square
But baby I don´t care
You don´t know any dance steps that are new
But no one else can love like you do
I don´t know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you baby
I guess it´s just because
You´re so square
Baby I don't care

Baby Let Me Follow You Down




Baby let me follow you down
Baby let me follow you down
Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.

Can I come home with you?
Can I come home with you?
Yeah I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me come home with you.

Baby let me follow you down
Baby let me follow you down
Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me follow you down.

Baby can I come home with you?
Baby can I come home with you?

Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world
If you just let me come home with you.

   

Bete Noire


(Ferry/Leonard)

I know you - inside me
Like poison like wine
Now there´s no sense in falling
Say you´ll be mine
Give me the world around you
Give me the time
Only a dream without you
Say you´ll be mine
I´ve got - inside me
In darkness entwined
I would be lost without you
Say you´ll be mine
Reflected in water
Imagined by fire
I will be waiting for you
Say you´ll be mine
Beware bête noire
Beware bête noire

   

Boys and Girls


(Ferry)

I´m a stranger in your town
That´s the place I belong
Laid behind the frame
And the curtain´s torn again
A wailing saxophone
And you know it´s all in my song
All the sin that I can take
But you don´t even know my name
You´ve got so sense of fun
But you know I´ve one
All the good has turned to bad
All you know what I think of that
No time to dream
No time to sigh
No time to kill
When love walks by
And who´s that crying in the street
Death is the friend I´ve yet to meet

Broken Wings


(Ferry)

Through the golden sunset
Across the borderline
Stands a cross
A simple sign
There the fires of evening
Reveal so many things
But who can mend broken wings?
Southern belles, fancy rings
Divorced from many things
As the story goes
Wish I could fly
Take the ever winding
Where the morning rain
Takes a cloud from the sky
There I long to love you
Love is everything
Who can mend broken wings?
Through the night, love is blind
The light of day not kind
The sense of loss you find
No sense at all
And should you gaze and wonder
Where the eagle flies
Fallen angels might sing
Who can mend broken wings?

Can't Let Go


Well I rush out blazin'
My pulse is racin'
As the rain streams down my face
There's no turning back now
To fight with fate
Outnumbered, out of place
They said go west young man, that's best
It's there you'll feel no pain
Bel-Air's okay if you dig the grave
But I want to live again
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must ride like the storm
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
It's a winding road from Cuesta way
Down sunset to the beach
Though Canoga Park is a straight safe drive
It's too far outta reach
But now the headlights are flashin'by so fast
All directions seems the same
And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeatin'
You can't let go again
What's in a name on the street tonight
I'm only a face in the crowd
All in the dark and afraid tonight
Nowhere to run or to hide
But I can't let go
Sometimes the world outside'll take you in
With just a smile
And you so blinded with desire
A hundred sleepless nights have left me
Wasted and so cold
But I can take it I'm hangin'on
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must ride it like the storm
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone

   

Carrickfergus


(Traditional).

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To carry me over my love and I
In Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I've had a drink
Well I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down
Come all you young men and lay me down

Casanova


(Ferry)

You - the hero
So many times
You´ve loved
And didn´t linger
Now my finger
Points at you
- Another loser
You - an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It´s in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you´re courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you´re nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate now
Now you´re flirting
With heroin
- Or is it cocaine?
Casanova -
Is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together
