TIME OPERATOR 

Moon breathing in through my window...
The curtains are sand, dust of the day.
Oh I'm not alone,
Like all my neighbours say.
Time operator,
Take the time to take the time
To come over here
We've got so much in common
Seems it's hard for us to sleep
With all the razzle dazzle in the street.
The man come to turn off my water
The man come to shut the lights off today
But I'm not one to moan,
I made the bill for the telephone.
And I wouldn't care if you're ugly
'Cause here with the lights off
I couldn't see.
You just picture Paul Newman,
And girl,
He looks a lot like me.
Time operator,
Take the time to take the time
To come over here

TWO RAGGED SOLDIERS 

They spoke transparent phrases to looking glass women
And they took the detours that scattered the way
They departed from summer like two ragged soldiers
Dragging their heels through their fantasies

There were meals in the missions for two frozen statues
And long draughty sermons devouring their knees
Sometimes passions in winter turn to cold soundless moments
That teared in the eyes of their fantasies

There were nights on park benches, stale bread for the pigeons
Good mornings to faces who just turned away
And on one road confusion, the other desire
So they took to the road of their fantasies

One would speak of a lake where he used to go swimming
The other had no memories left for his mind
With their arms round each other the two ragged soldiers
Laughed through a war that they couldn't see

Laughed for a world filled with fantasy

TWO WEEKS SINCE YOU'VE GONE 

Two Weeks Since You've Gone
And I feel like the tramp
Picking dutbins in the alley.
He looks up as I pass
Clutching rags from a city's restless night Clutching

I could read all my sadness
In faces I knew
Down at Kelly's bar last Friday
And I haven't been back since I mistook
Somebody for a friend

And if I walk these streets long enough
Will you happen to me again?
With whom are you sharing
The sweet taste of summer?
My memories pursue you
Like puddles of rain
The river inside me still flow
To the sea of your hands

And if I close my eyes for a while Y
Will you happen to me again?

WAIT UNTIL DARK 

Who cares how cold and grey
The day may be
Wait until dark
And we'll be warm

Our place of love
Is where we face our dreams
Together
Where our fantasies take form

When I can't feel your nearness
In the night
My disappointments disappear

A cheerless day may bring us
Little dreams
That seem to miss their mark
But oh my darling
Wait until dark

A cheerless day may bring us
Little dreams
That seem to miss their mark
But oh my darling
Wait until dark

WE COULD BE FLYING 

There's a few that comes in the spring
A touch of hope, a new beginning
Times racing by, I know
But as it crossed my mind
I thought we all would end up winning
Love is rising like a summer sun
Caught in the silence of the roads rolling the world
across the sky

There's a few that comes in the spring
When all the world's alive and shining
Waiting to touch us all
The youngest and the old
And give each day a velvet lining

A new kind of light surrounds us all
And if we could, we'd all be flying
I've always felt that deep inside
We're trying, we're trying

There's a few that comes in the spring
A touch of hope a new beginning
Time is racing by, I know
But as it crossed my mind
I thought we all would end up winning
A new kind of life surrounds us all
And if we could we'd all be flying
I've always felt that deep inside, we're tying, we're trying.

WHEN JOANNA LOVED ME 

Hoy es sólo otro día
Tomorrow is a guess Mañana es una conjetura
But yesterday Pero ayer
Oh what i'd give for yesterday ¡Oh qué me dan para el día de ayer
To relive one yesterday Para revivir un ayer
And its happiness Y su felicidad

When Joanna loved me Cuando Joanna me amó
Every town was Paris Cada ciudad es París
Every day was sunday Cada día era Domingo
Every month was may Todos los meses, fue mayo

When Joanna loved me Cuando Joanna me amó
Every sound was music Cada sonido era la música
Music made of laughter Música de la risa
Laughter that was bright and gay Risas que fue brillante y gay
But when joanna left me Pero cuando me dejó Joanna
May became december Mayo se convirtió en Diciembre

But even in december Pero incluso en diciembre
I remember Recuerdo
Her touch Su contacto
Her smile Su sonrisa
And for a little while Y para un rato
She loves me Ella me ama

And once again its Paris Y una vez más su París
Paris on a sunday París el domingo
And the month is may Y es el mes Mayo

WHEN THE WORLD WAS YOUNG 

Each night I meant to say
I missed her through the day
But I'd forget it
I never said it

I passed the flower shop
Lord knows I meant to stop
But I said tomorrow
Perhaps tomorrow

Tomorrow there'd be time
There'd always be another spring
Time to make her laughter ring
Time to give her everything

Angelica, my Angelica
There's so much you never knew
So much I always meant to say
And do, for you, for you
Angelica

And then the cold winds came
And when I spoke her name
And felt her near me
She couldn't hear me

Her shadow had been cast
Too many springs had passed
For Angelica
Sweet Angelica

Now in my solitude
I tend the flowers that I buy
As they slowly fade and die
Watered by the tears I cry

for my Angelica, my Angelica
There's so much you never knew
So much I always meant to say
And do, for you, for you
Angelica
Angelica
Angelica
Angelica

WINDOWS OF THE WORLD 

The windows of the world are covered with rain
Where is the sunshine we once knew
Everybody knows when little children play
They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall
Let the sunshine through

The windows of the world are covered with rain
When will those black skies turn to blue
Everybody knows when boys grow into men
They start to wonder when their country will call
Let the sunshine through

The windows of the world are covered with rain
What is the whole world coming to
Everybody knows when men can not be friends
Their quarter loves an ends
Some have to die, some have to die
Let the sunshine through

The windows of the world are covered with rain
There must be something we can do
Everybody knows whenever rain appears
It's really angel tears
How long must they cry

YOU'RE GONNA HEAR FROM ME 

Move over sun
And give some sky
I've got me some wings
I'm eager to try
I may be unknown
But wait til I've flown

You're gonna hear from me

Make me some room
You people up there
On top of the world
I'll meet you, I swear
I'm staking my claim
Remember my name

You're gonna hear from me

Fortune smiles
On the road before me

I'm fortunes child
Listen world you cant ignore me

I've got a song
That wants to be played
Raise up a flag
Begin my parade
Then watch the world over
Start coming up clover

That how it's gonna be
You'll see

You're gonna hear from me
