Keep on Dancing

It’s the start of the summer
There’s streaks of red in the sky
I look across the room
And suddenly you catch my eye
So we keep on dancing
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah we keep on dancing
To the songs in our heads
Yeah we keep on dancing
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah we keep on dancing
Have no fear that tonight is all
Yeah just keep on dancing
The middle of the summer
The days fly by so fast
Brush the hair from your face
Now we’re together at last
It’s the end of the summer
And now you are gone
I’m all by myself now
But I dance sadly on
So I keep on dancing
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah I keep on dancing
To the songs in my head
Yeah I keep on dancing
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah I keep on dancing
All by myself
Yeah just keep on dancing

Mist
04:26
|

I saw your reflection
In a puddle of rain
There was nothing to stop me
From calling out your name
Still I hear your whispers
Traveling on the wind
Your words never had weight
Even the air around you was thin
Your words were nothing but vapor
From the mouth that I kissed
Your words were nothing but vapor
Their meaning was lost in the mist
I was tracked by a specter
In a dress of deepest blue
I ran all night to escape it
A shadow shaped like you
In a city haunted by memories
I feel you everywhere
I can’t escape your absence
You’re here but never there
I pass by the places
Where we kissed in rain
I can’t feel you touching
But I still feel the pain
Acts of love in the morning
False promises all day
You’ve already left me
Now it’s time you went away

Over and Over
03:59
|

What seemed like a new beginning
Has ended the same old way
What you thought was a bright new morning
Is just the start of another day
You can’t tell her what you feel
About what was in your heart
You just let her walk away
And now you’re falling apart
Over and over
It hurts like it did before
Over and over
You try to learn something more
Over and over
You can’t imagine why
Over and over
So you put your nose to the grindstone
To escape however you can
But there’s nowhere you can hide
From the feeling that you failed again
You can’t tell her what you feel
About what was in your heart
But you never stopped to question
Was that ever really your part?
It happened in a matter of minutes
Like scales falling from my eyes
I realized I didn’t care about you
And my heart turned as cold as ice
Over and over
It doesn’t hurt me anymore
Over and over
I’m becoming something more
Over and over
I really don’t care why
Over and over
Yes, it’s finally over

Give and Take
03:56
|

Once a girl smiled at me
And asked me to stay
She seemed so kind and sweet
I fell in love that day
She would whisper words of love
Into my waiting ears
She’d always wanted a guy like me
For years and years and years
Whatever she wanted from me
I gave it all to her
She took it until one day
She came to me and she said
That she didn’t want to give
Didn’t want to take
Didn’t want to love
And didn’t want to hate
There was nothing at all
That I could do
It was over, it was fate
Another girl smiled at me
And asked me to stay
She was so beautiful
I fell in love that day
She would talk about love
All her hopes and fears
She asked me to stay with her
For years and years and years
Whatever she wanted from me
I gave it all to her
She took it until one day
She came to me and she said
That she didn’t want to give
Didn’t want to take
Didn’t want to love
And didn’t want to hate
There was nothing at all
That I could do
It was over, it was fate
The other day I smiled at you
And told you to stay
My heart was cold and empty
The other girls made me that way
You would talk about love
All your hopes and fears
I didn’t say much of anything
For years and years and years
Whatever I wanted from you
I took it as I pleased
You loved me until one day
I came to you and I said
That I didn’t want to give
Didn’t want to take
Didn’t want to love
And didn’t want to hate
There was nothing at all
That you could do
It was over, it was fate
There’s a lesson in this song somewhere
Though I’m not sure what it is
The world still runs on give and take
Maybe that’s just how it is
Whatever I wanted from her
I took it as I pleased
She loved me until one day
I came to her and I said
That I didn’t want to give
Didn’t want to take
Didn’t want to love
And didn’t want to hate
There was nothing at all
That she could do
It was over, it was fate

Hideaway
04:06
|

The autumn leaves are falling
And there’s winter in the air
I look into your eyes
And I imagine what’s in there
Cause you know that I love you
But you hide away from me
All those feelings in your heart
That you hide away from me
Yeah you know that I love you
Yet you hide away from me
All those feelings in your heart
You just hide away from me
I read the words you write sometimes
Those thoughts inside your head
Like “how do I live with purpose?
And will it matter when I’m dead?”
Secrets are a necessary evil
To protect us from ourselves
But if you peel back all the layers
Sometimes there’s just nothing left
The autumn leaves have fallen
And winter holds the day
You no longer meet my eyes
So I turn and walk away

The Perfect Moment
03:10
|
|||
Well I’m waiting for the evening to come
When I can spend some time with you
There’s no time to think about tomorrow
Or what others think we should do
You can spend a lifetime waiting
For the perfect moment to come
But there’s no such thing, my friend
There’s just what you are and who you’ve become
Well I’m waiting for the morning to come
I’m still dizzy from all that wine
I’m watching you sleeping beside me
Yes, finally you are mine
Well I’m waiting for the day to come
When we’re comfortable in our skin
The fight we had lasted all night long
About who we are and where we’ve been
Well I’m waiting for the lifetime to come
When we can all admit we were wrong
And the truth can stop its waiting
And there’ll be no need for this song

The Dylan Blues
03:51
|

Well I saw your favorite monkey
He was talking to a priest
About a plan they‘d hatched together
To steal the wedding feast
The bride she didn’t know me
But that was probably for the best
I once slept with her younger sister
And you can probably guess the rest
I could be your random action
Cause I’ve nothing left to lose
Yeah I’m tangled in your affection
And I’ve got the Dylan blues
Well the bridegroom he just stood there
As two men shot up the place
They’d been gambling in the churchyard
When the winner drew an ace
It was then the first man noticed
The card in the other’s sleeve
Of his Italian rented jacket
That he’d borrowed from Louise
The first bullet killed the monkey
Who was trying not to laugh
At the woman in the corner
Who recalled the Wife of Bath
The second killed the ten-year-old
Who had merely come to look
At ten things his mother admired
That she had written in his book
It was then that the bride stood up
And declared she had had enough
Of husbands, priests, and monkeys
And all that Rembrandt stuff
So instead I married her sister
Who didn’t love me in the least
But now I’m her favorite monkey
And I stole the wedding feast

Not in Love
02:56
|
|||
When the morning comes
Creeping through the shades
I’ll be waking up alone
But everything will be okay
I’m not in love
I’m not in love
And it’s okay, yes it’s fine
I’m not in love
I’m not in love
I’m not in love
And it’s okay, yes it’s fine
I’m not in love
I used to be a caring man
And for that I paid the price
It’s hard to learn that being weak
Is the same as being nice
Now I see you from below
And I see you from above
I can give you my attention
But please don’t ask for love
When tomorrow morning comes
Creeping through the shades
Who knows if I’m alone
But everything will be okay

Superstar
03:29
|
|||
You can see me on the streets of London
Telling you to stand back
You can see me in the streets of Paris
Dressed in a suit of black
You can see me in New York City
But I don’t really care about that
Cause I walk on top of the world
As though I squashed it flat
Yeah I’m a superstar honey
I’m a hell of a deal
Yeah I’m a superstar baby
Yeah I’m a superstar
Yeah I take whatever I want
And they thank me for it too
It doesn’t matter where the action is
I just do what I want to do
I wear the emperor’s new clothes
But I don’t really care about that
Cause I walk on top of the world
As though I squashed it flat

Anne Moore and More
03:26

A reach to hold your hand
A touch to stroke your hair
A move to kiss your cheek
A chance to touch you there
I want you more and more and more
I reach and hold your hand
And then I stroke your hair
I move to kiss your cheek
Last chance to touch you there
I feel you in my hands
My fingers through your hair
Now touching cheek to cheek
I know I’ve touched you there

Running to You
03:06
|
|||
I’m racing down this road
Trying to lose these midnight blues
My heart just keeps on pounding
I’ve got everything to lose (oh yeah)
Yes I’m running to you
Yes I’m running to you
All night long
Yes I’m running to you
Yes I’m running to you
All night long
Yes I’m running to you
The sound in my ears gets louder
The traffic from the bridge
The river slides by silently
As I pass by in the night
Was this meant to be?
I can’t tell for sure
Life seems so uncertain
But there’s one thing that I know
So I climb your stairs and I knock on your door
I fall in your arms and I know for sure
I’m not running anymore
Now you’re in my heart
And you’re in my life
All night long
And I love you more
Than I ever thought
All night long
And that’s where I’ll stay
All night long
