Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

I've been trying
To justify you.
In the end I will
Just defy you.

 

To those who understand,
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am.

[WhoTom]

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm trying to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dying 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

 

[Bill from NYC]

Down on me, down on me,

looks like everybody in this whole round world,

Is down on me.

 

Love in this world is so hard to find,

When you've got yours and I got mine.

That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world,

They're down on me.

 

[Gray Beard]

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

[SinceThe70s]

Gypsy's dance around the campfire, shook their tambourines
They were waiting for the dust of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour grew closer, and the sky begins to fall
You can see their shadow by the light of the moon
They had heard the gypsys call

Ooh, ooh, Hurry Sundown

[PastaJoe]

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
 

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

[WhoTom]

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond

 

[Bill from NYC]

Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
Glad I found you - glad you're mine
Oh my love you're like a precious stone
Part of earth where heaven has rained on

Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime you're like a shinin' star
And how could I shine without you
When it's about you that I am

[Gray Beard]

I hear a voice in my mind
I know her face by heart
heaven and earth are moving in my soul
I don't know where to start
tell me, tell me, the words to define
the way I feel about someone so fine
how do you talk to an angel
how do you hold her close to where you are
how do you talk to an angel
it's like trying to catch a falling star

[WhoTom]

Is it me for a moment?
The stars are falling
The heat is rising
The past is calling

Is it me for a moment?
 

[PastaJoe]

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

[ExWNYer]

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

[Gray Beard]

Everyone keeps tellin' me that this affair's not meant to be
Even though I need you night and day
Walk away if you see me coming, even if it's you I'm lovin'
 

Every minute is an hour every day's a lonely lifetime
You're my no tell lover
The little time that we spend together just can't last forever
You're my no tell lover

[Bill from NYC]

Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong, with part-time lover
If she's with me i'll blink the lights
To let you know tonight's the night
For me and you, my part-time lover

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love, up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

[WhoTom]

The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun
I'm driving right up to you, babe
I guess that you couldn't see
But you were under my wheels honey
Why don't you let me be?

[RaoulDuke79]

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars

[Bill from NYC]

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

[Gray Beard]

Ride, take a free ride,
Take my place
Have my seat
It's for free.

 

I worked like a slave for years,
Sweat so hard just to end my fears.
Not to end my life a poor man,
But by now, I know I should have run.

 

Run, run my last race,
Take my place
Have this number
Of mine.

[RaoulDuke79]

When I was thumbing from Montgomery
I had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
He was dressed like 1950
Half drunk and hollow eyed
He said it's a long walk to Nashville
Would you like a ride? Son

Well, I sat down in the front seat
He turned on the radio
And them sad old songs coming outta them speakers was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale
When I asked him for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride

[Gugny]

Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died

 

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
