Well, here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our mouths and I feel like I'm laughing in a dream. If I was young I could wait outside your school cos your face is like the cover of a magazine.
How do you do, do you do, the things that you do. No one I know could ever keep up with you. How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you to say Bye Bye Bye?
I see you in that chair with perfect skin. Well, how have you been, baby, livin' in sin? Hey, I gotta know, did you say Hello - How do you do?
Well, here we are spending time in the louder part of town and it feels like everything's surreal. When I get old I will wait outside your house cos your hands have got the power meant to heal.
How do you do...
Suddenly you notice someone's at the door, you could swear you've been through this all before.
Then she runs her fingertips through your hair. Your life has just begun. Her fingers, they are everywhere. You're floating light like air, leaving the ground and she shines on just like the sun.
You're gazing at the sky, o my. The stars are out tonight, shining bright. You're waving to a cloud, bye-bye. You're drowning in the smile of his eyes. Suddenly you feel there's no time for a deal though a voice tells you it's for real.
And she runs her fingertips through your hair and life has just begun. Her fingers, there and everywhere. You're floating light like air, leaving the ground. She-she shines on just like the sun.
It's just a sunny afternoon. Somebody's singing songs of love, child. You love a lazy afternoon once in a while.
She's got the look. She's got the look. What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue. When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go: la la la la la she's got the look.
Fire in the ice, naked to the T-bone is a lover's disguise. Banging on the head drum, shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look. Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer, she's a miracle man. Loving is the ocean, kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look.
And she goes: na na na na na na na na.
Babe it's time to look me in the eyes, time to say goodbye, it's clear to me. And this time I won't let you down, you can turn around, I'll set you free. Oh you've been a-sailing from our shore and you've been enchanted by someone from afar.
Babe it's time to gather all the harvest, to pray before the winter and sail the heart shaped sea. Oh you've been a-running from my love and you've been enchanted by the powers up above.
But I kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time. I kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time.
And some things in life won't ever change, there's a smell of a rusty chain and of love disappearing like an aeroplane.
I've kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time. I've kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time, all of the time.
Then came you.
Why did you keep me waiting so long?
Why did you
keep me waiting so long?
Why did you keep me waiting so long?
I was a spy, I was captured by the enemies. I made a million selling secret fantasies. I saw my love wasted in a pale grey zone. I was the quake shaking every monument. I had to fi-find out what all the money meant. I checked the sun, I knew that it was time to go go go.
Then came you...
It must have been love but it's over now. It must have been good but I lost it somehow. It must have been love but it's over now. From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart. But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now, it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without. It must have been love but it's over now, it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.
There was a girl on Cinnamon Street, the same age as me, we shared the curiosity. I won her heart cos I could play guitar. I promised her heaven at once and later all the stars. But it all remained the same cos things can never change on Cinnamon Street.
I can hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy rest in the sun. Later we went dancing, staying up all night long - playing all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na.
I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street. Springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet. I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread, it's in my blood since the day I was born 'til I wake up... dead. And the sun is smiling gently, a funny shade of red, Cinnamon Street.
I still feel my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy day in the sun. Later we went dancing, hanging out all night long - singing all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na na.
Never is a long time - goodbye. No answers for the asking. It's a long time - goodbye. No mercy for the aching. It's a long time - oh I see no light on the forsaken. Never is a long time - goodbye. Let's spend the night when this dream has come to an end.
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry, and yes, I've cried over you. You've left me blind in paradise. You've left me hungering for the touch of you. Snow white angels run and hide in the blackness of the night.
Never is a long time...
Before I fade to silver, Silver Blue for you. Before I fade to silver, Silver Blue for you.
I've turned into The Broken One who lost the inspiration. I want to give you all my love like water to a blood red rose. The Passion - I can't deal with her. The Pain - well, I can do without him. And this is like the milky way, an ocean that only grows and grows.
And babe I fade to silver, Silver Blue for you. I turn and fade to silver, Silver Blue for you.
I wrap my arms around your naked shoulders, take cover for the night.
It only goes to show that here it comes, here comes the weekend and I'm on my own again with a Saturday in the rain. Here it comes, here comes the weekend. The fine line from pleasure to pain is making me cry. When will I see you again?
Every breath, every vision you make. Every chance in love you love to take. Every move that seems to alter my world. Every dream I've had about this boy and this girl. It makes me wanna run, it makes me wanna hide cos you're the only one that makes my love alive and time is running fast into a new goodbye.
It only goes to show that here it comes, here comes the weekend, another walk down that lonely lane, another Sunday that feels the same. Here it comes, here comes the weekend. The fine line from pleasure to pain is making me cry. When will I see you again?
You're so far away, so far away, you left me, you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye and I'll keep asking why, I keep on asking how, oh come unto me now.
I have breathed the morning air, I have heard the four winds blow. I was weary but prepared to follow down this lonely road. In the room where lovers sleep, winds would knock and disappear. Still I felt the music near, like the first time we were ever here.
You're so far away, so far away, you left me, you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye and I keep wondering why, I keep on wondering how, oh come inside me now.
Come back before you leave. I haven't got room for a broken heart. Come back before you leave. You shouldn't go at all, you shouldn't go at all.
So many years and so many nights, I still can recall oh the way that you move when you dance, do you want to dance? We've had our habits and attitudes, you make me remember the power when everything's right, please stay the night. Cos baby when you get close to me there's something about you I really need.
Come back before you leave...
Babe, come back before you leave, I'll be the air for you when you breathe, I'll be the rising sun. Close the door, let's make love, all God's angels sing above into the rising sun.
Losing you... things will never be the same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again things would never be...
In your hand, babe, I don't understand, you've got the eyes of a child but you hurt like a man always do, always do. Touch me now, girl, I don't know when, when we will ever meet again. That was then, baby, this is now, time won't get over you.
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you. C'mon join the joyride. Join the joyride.
She's a flower, I can paint her. She's a child of the sun. We're a part of this together, could never turn around and run. Don't need no fortune teller to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no. Cos it all begins again when it ends and we're all magic friends.
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you. C'mon join the joyride. Join the joyride.
Be a joyrider.
I take you on a skyride, a feeling like you're spellbound. The sunshine is a lady, who ROX you like a baby.
There's a time for the good in life, a time to kill the pain in life, dream about the sun you queen of rain.
In that big old house there are fifty beds and one of them leads to your soul. It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats, regrets and sheets so cold. All I knew your eyes so velvet blue, I've been in love before, how about you?
There's a time for the good in life...
It's time to place your bets in life, I've played the loser's game of life, dream about the sun you queen of rain.
Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky, fly fly away, bye bye.
