We keep on saying the same thing every time that we meet Of all the streets in the city, of all the kids in the street Come on and drink up, we know how this ends up Sing me a song, soft and low with words of a long time ago When I’m on the road, out on my own I need something there to call me back home My head is stuck on the same tune, we listened to all through the night I listen and slowly I think back, imagine you’re here by my side Come on and drink up , we know how this ends up Sing me a song over the phone So I know you're sleeping alone When I’m on the road, out on my own I need something there to call me back home Come on and drink up , we know how this ends up Sing me a song over the phone So I know that I'm not alone When I’m on the road, out on my own I need something there to call me back home

Drove cross the desert all night in the rain Windmills stood still while the radio played warmth of the sun, The chill of the night I’m staying out and sleeping just fine I came all the way to Arizona Just to hear them say I shoulda told ya, wait Til the heat of the day fades I pushed my luck, when it ran out I pushed my love and my fear and my doubt Tired hands, willing head, making my way to a stranger’s bed I came all the way to California just to wish away For Arizona, when the heat of the day fades Sometimes I’m lonesome, but I never cry I lay my head back and I open my eyes I came all the way to California just hear them say I shoulda warned ya what happens when the heat of the day fades What happens when the heat of the day fades

Tie them up and let em go, why do you always let them go Stick with the devil that you know, that you know I know you want to run away No one to tell you what to say It’s a game that you play, that you play It’s written everywhere today Nobody got away So you better close your eyes when you pray Open up, open wide Feel the dark, see the light You can run but you’ll leave the rest behind In the wings before the show You just can't let it go Heaven only knows, only knows If you could slowly fade away

Two Things 03:30
Now I lay down, tomorrow I will go Where the nightbirds sing up in the trees outside my old window There are two things that I know, just two things for me The river shining in the sun and his voice singing sweet Found my love one day, I’d follow anywhere She led me to the city and seven summers we spent there There are two things that I know, just two things for me The snowfall on the mountains and his hand upon my knee The rain fell on the city to flood the avenues, and when it cleared my dear, confessed she was no longer true There are just two things for me, two things that I know Just the wind that dries my tears and sighs the love that I let go

Up above my head, up above my head I hear music in the air, I hear music in the air Up above my head, up above my head I hear music in the air, I hear music in the air Up above my head I hear music in the air And I really do believe I really do believe There's a heaven somewhere Up above my head, up above my head I see trouble in the air I see trouble in the air Up above my head, up above my head I see trouble in the air I see trouble in the air Up above my head I see trouble in the air And I really do believe, I really do believe There's a heaven somewhere

Wasted 04:02
They say youth is wasted on the young The same truth I tasted on your tongue When all your wine’s been drunk, your songs have been sung I’ll still remember, I’ll remember The brightest smile and the darkest eyes looking at me I knew it had to crash down all around me Come on get dressed and put your makeup on I’ll pick you up and we’ll dance the whole night long You won’t feel the time spinning on Cuz you’ve got forever, you’ve got forever Stayin out and stumbling in late Crash out on my floor and smoke on the fire escape You said this is the best place I’ve ever been All the eyes on you, but you don’t see The only thing you want is to be free I could keep you safe and company But you’ve got forever, yeah you’ve got forever Come over here, I wanna see you closely I wanna know how you pulled one over on me I can still hear you when you sayin This is the best place I've ever been

You can ask the neighbors about a funny thing That happened to the trees that line up and down the street They’ll tell you that light doesn’t dance upon the leaves Cuz nothings quite the same since you’ve been gone Nothing’s quite the same I find it hard to wrap my brain around a world that doesn’t spin for you Nothing’s Quite the same ask the birds, ask the rain Someday they’ll find a way to carry on I saw something on TV, a strange phenomenon The scientists said little bugs have simply up and gone All the bees are buzzing in a minor key Cuz nothing’s quite the same since you’ve been gone Nothing’s quite the same I find it hard to wrap my brain around a world that doesn’t spin for you Nothing’s Quite the same ask the birds, ask the rain Someday they’ll find a way to carry on

On the Slide 05:01
I'm on the slide Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide I can make all your dreams come true Look me in the eye, would I lie to you? Time it takes for the sun to rise I'll be somewhere else with a new disguise I'm on the slide Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Used to be in that cat bird seat Gold on my fingers, leather on my feet Hit the bricks, going nowhere fast Under the gun now, nothing good can last I'm on slide nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Tus Besos 04:59
Fue una noche de fiesta, me levante sin cabeza Me han dicho que me pasaria Esto, que todo se ilumina Hay tantas cosas que veo, no se lo que hare No me importa lo que me quede, si me quedan tus besos En la calle donde caminas, rascacielos como montañas Subire con las mas altas Ire, ire ire a las lejanas Toma mis brazos, son para abrazar Toma lo que quieras, soy para tomar Muevete con el ritmo del mar Baila a mi ladito sin pensar

There are stars in the southern sky Southward as you go. There is moonlight and moss in the trees Down the Seven Bridges Road Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child, And I have loved you in a tame way, And I have loved you wild Sometimes there's a part of me Has to turn from here and go Running like a child from these warm stars Down the Seven Bridges Road There are stars in the southern sky And if ever you decide you should go, There is a taste of time sweet and honey Down the Seven Bridges Road
