The Ghost Of Dreams

The ghost of dreams sometimes appears
In things you see and feel and hear
An echo dim of times gone by
The whisper of a lie

The stars are bright and far away
They're deep within your eyes
But deeper still, the truth behind
Your beautiful disguise

If you return to my embrace
If you'll come back to stay
I'll never be the same again
You'll never go away

The ghost of dreams sometimes reveals
The haunted things your heart conceals
The rose's thorn
The gypsy's sigh
The stranger's long goodbye

The ghost of dreams in greys and blues
In whispering streams and avenues
Where voices drown and so deny
The whisper of a lie

The ghost of dreams sometimes reveals
The haunted things your heart conceals
The haunted things your heart conceals
The hidden things your heart conceals
The haunted things your heart conceals

The rose's thorn
The gypsy's sigh
The stranger's long goodbye
The whisper of a lie

Dance On Sunday

You know it seems so strange to say
So much has changed here since I've been away
You used to dance, you used to sing
You used to have your hands in everything

Now all you want to do is dance on Sunday
All you want to do is dance on Sunday...

You used to scream, you used to shout
You used to really get your ya-yas out
You used to say it used to seem
That all you ever wanted was a dream

Now all you want to do is dance on Sunday...

I hear you laugh, I hear you cry
I see you watch the storm clouds roll on by
You know the hour is growing late
For little girls to be out tempting fate

But all you want to do is dance on Sunday
All you want to do is dance on Sunday...

Walk Right Over Me (And Out The Door)

What's your name--
What you doing--
What you know--
Where you going?

I might walk along beside you
Listen to your everyday hopes and fears
You might think of me as someone who could
Turn the night away, with your tears

Or you could walk right over me and out the door
Walk right over me and out the door

What's your game--
Who you playing--
What you think--

What you saying?

You could tell me all your secrets
Tell me all your sinful lies in your sleep
I could wonder if you're laughing silently
Beneath your sighs
When you weep

Or you could
Walk right over me and out the door
Walk right over me and out the door

I know I'm not the only one
To feel intoxication
In your eyes
Tangled in the conversation
I'm not the only one
To take the fall for this flirtation
In your eyes
Drowning in infatuation

Take my time
Take my money
Take my life
Take everything from me
There's no reason to believe
I'm different than your other fools
If you choose
No reason to say anything
Put on your scarlet dress
And your shoes

And walk right over me and out the door
Walk right over me and out the door...

(Don’t) Cry When I’m Gone

Hear the river flowing
Flow on down to the sea
Muddy water rolling
Rolling down to the sea
Take me on back home
Where I’m lonesome to be

Well it won’t be long
‘Til I’m on my way home
No it won’t be long
‘Til I’m on my way home
I’ll be all alone
Don’t you cry when I’m gone

Don’t cry, cry, cry
Cry when I’m gone

Hear the river flowing
Flow on down to the sea
Hear the river Jordan
Flowing down to the sea
Take me on back home
Where I’m lonesome to be

Got a peaceful feeling
Feeling down in my bones
Got a peaceful feeling
Feel it down in my bones
Feel it in my soul
I feel like I’m going home

Don’t cry, cry, cry
Cry when I’m gone…

Baby Don't Care

My baby don't care
What goes on with me
My baby don't care
Baby can you see
The way she walks
Right through this
Crowded bar
Like there's no one else aware
While they turn their eyes
And stare
My baby don't care

My baby don't care
If I'm feeling blue
My baby don't care
You know she feels it too
Yeh, it's true
You know she never loved me
Never will
And life is so unfair...

My baby don't care
How it's got to be
My baby don't care
Baby can't you see
That if you walk right out
And leave me here
There will be nothing
Waiting there
In the cold arms of despair
My baby don't care
My baby don't care

She don't care, she don't care...

Dancing While The House Is Burning Down

Girl I love to watch you dance
Love your rhythm to the sound
Girl you keep me in a trance
Burn my heart down to the ground
Dancing while the house is burning down...

Girl I love the way you walk
Love the way you fill your shoes
But every time you turn your back on me
I see another girl I'll lose
Dancing while the house is burning down...

My whole world's blazing away
I feel it burn in your eyes
Swing low baby
Shimmy and away
Feel the fire burning
Burning til the ashes die...

Girl I love to watch you dance
Love your rhythm to the sound
Watch you twist and turn and sway for me
Burn my heart down to the ground
Dancing while the house is burning down...
Dancing... dancing... dancing...
Dancing while the house is burning down...

Long Shadow Blues

My boots are worn and dusty
Walking down the river road
My boots are worn and dusty
Walking down the river road
But I got to keep on walking
No time now for moving slow

I can see the dark clouds rising
I can hear the thunder roll
I can see the dark clouds rising
I can hear the thunder roll
Know the storm is surely coming
Can't be stopped to save your soul
I know
Oh no

I can hear the dogs howling
Rising up, a blood red moon
I can hear the dogs howling
Rising up, a blood red moon
When a small man throws long shadows
Time of darkness coming soon
Yes it is...

Long shadows
Long shadows
Long dark shadows
Long dark shadows

Keep walking...

Na zdravi!

The Girl With The Moon In Her Hair 

The girl with the moon in her hair
 Says nothing else matters but the lights on the freeway
 Nothing else matters but traveling by railway
 Nothing else matters but the field where the planes land
 Nothing else matters so we'll go while we can.

The girl with the moon in her hair
Says nobody kneels by the statues in the graveyard
Nobody kneels in the corner of the schoolyard
Nobody kneels in the pew of their own church
Nobody kneels they're just too busy working.

The girl with the moon in her hair
Says nobody cries at the end of the movie
Nobody cries and they don't say their sorry
Nobody cries at their own daughters wedding
Nobody cries at the unhappy ending.

The girl with the moon in her hair
Says she was born on the edge of the city
Says the next day both her folks turned up missing
Says that she spent most of her young life running
Says she was born on a crow-ugly Monday.

The girl with the moon in her hair
Says she's just looking for the yard where the trains go
Says she's just looking for a heart that can beat slow
Says she's just looking for some dirt for a fresh grave
Says she's just looking for the end… of a long long day.

The girl with the moon in her hair...

Nobody listens to the girl with the moon in her hair.
