Give me one love
Give me one love that's true
Give me the love
That comes from you
No other love will do
Boy there's just too much
In this world goin wrong
We just got to get over
And keep our love strong
Friends through the years
So many disappear, but
You and I go on
People choosin' sides now
To the left or the right
I'm stayin' in the middle
With you here tonight
Sun brings on the day
The years slip away, but
You and I go on
On and on and on
You and I have got to be strong
When right becomes wrong
We'll find a way
On and on and on
You and I have got to be strong
When right becomes wrong
We'll find a way through
No other love will do
In a time and place
That keeps on spinning' around
I hear your voice
And there's no sweeter sound
We can make mistakes
But that doesn't change our fate, cuz
You and I go on
Outside things are changin'
But not here in my heart
Let it be the center
The place where we start
You got me for eternity, cuz
You and I go on
On and on and on
You and I have got to be strong
When right becomes wrong
We'll find a way
On and on and on
You and I have got to be strong
When right becomes wrong
We'll find a way through
No other love will do
Fighting off the sense
I'm gonna slip away
Trying to pretend
I won't disappear one day
But it's getting harder every day
Every day, every day
What good is a contract made
On another plane?
But it's the only way of thinking
That has kept me sane
But maybe I believed in vain
Believed in vain, believed in vain
So now, what remains...
Of falling leaves, late afternoon
Springtime mist, the rising moon
My childhood home
My old bedroom, gone by
So who am I?
Am I made up of all the things
That I have known?
Who can own a moment
Or know every single stone?
In this life I feel so alone
So alone, so alone
My father's childhood home was razed
But he didn't cry
My mother's father left them
But she never questioned why
So many tiny sorrows have me asking why
Asking why, asking why
I hope there's peace after we die
Will we remember snowball fights?
First romances, summer nights?
Pushing through with all our might
But did that really make things right?
A moth emerges, small and wet
And easy thing to forget
A leaf detaches from its stem
A new beginning from an end
First we stand, then we fall
All are one, and one is all
I must believe
It's just a drop in the bucket
So you know that I'll say fuck it
Gonna buy myself another drink
I'm feeling the despair
Of always going nowhere
I need one less reason to think
I've got a bed where I sleep
A roof over my head
But here I go again - I'm back in the red
I'm in the red again
Hangin' my head again
Down to my last dime
For the umpteenth time
I'm in the red
I've got friends who care about me
And I know they'd never doubt me
But these folks can only get me so far
I've got bills to pay
And at the end of the day
Their love won't put no gas in my car
The way things stand
I'd rather lie down instead
Cuz man oh man - I'm back in the red
I'm in the red again
Wish I was dead again
If I knew what I should do
I'd do it, wouldn't you?
I'm in the red
I'm gonna keep complainin'
Cuz my time on earth is wanin'
And I don't know how I'm gonna get by
I don't believe it's tragic
Still I need a little magic
If I didn't laugh at all this I'd cry
Am I talkin' to the wall
Or did you hear what I said?
Believe me, sister - I'm back in the red
I'm in the red again
Over my head again
I'd accept a nickel
Can't afford to be too fickle
In the red
Things might be OK
By the end of the day
But I'm not convinced that is a fact
The fight is always goin'
Though I keep my fear from showin'
Gonna finish out this race on the track
After all of these years
Just look at where this has led
I'm runnin' outta options
And I'm back in the red
I'm in the red again
I'm outta bread again
I can't make a batch
Cuz I'm all outta scratch
I'm in the red
At a time in my life
When my peers are sittin' pretty
Waiting on the day they retire
I'm a hustlin' on the streets
Always movin' my feet
Searchin' out positions for hire
It don't feel fair it's so hard to get fed
I feel so blue
Cuz I'm back in the red
I'm in the red again
Hangin' my head again
Baby can you spare a penny?
Cuz you know I haven't any
Man I'd holler for a dollar
I'd thrill to see a bill
I am telling you friend
I am so close to the end
I'm in the red
Outta bread
The dishes can wait today
I'm gonna be late today
Won't get much of anything done
But I guess that's ok
I feel a song comin' on
And I just know that it's true
Tho it won't pay the rent
Not a single cent
I've got to see this story through
I know I've got something here
And it speaks to me loud and clear
Not sure yet what it's about
Until I figure it out
I'm starting to see the end
Saying goodbye to friend after friend
We'll be moving on together
In the universal trend
The losses and the wins
One thing ends, one begins
It's what we must know inside our hearts
To keep the hope within
I know I've got something here
And it speaks to me loud and clear
Not sure yet what it's about
Until I figure it out
I may as well sit back
Cut myself a little slack
I know this space in time
Is never coming back
The moon will always rise
And pull the ocean tides
The world don't care if you were there
To tell your lies
The truth comes out in time
Each day will meet its prime
You gotta know that it's all ebb and flow
And that's just fine
I know I've got something here
And it speaks to me loud and clear
Not sure yet what it's about
Until I figure it out
The dishes can wait today
I'm gonna be late today
Won't get much of anything done
But I guess that's ok
I feel a song comin' on
And I just know that it's true
Tho it won't pay the rent
Not a single cent
I've got to see this story through
The dishes can wait today....
Before I die I want to go somewhere
So far from here
I've been wanting and waiting to go there
Year after year
It may as well be 'cross the galaxy
I can't get there
I'm struggling where I am right now
Just to get enough air
The blue of the water unreal
Aqua and teal
For all of my life I have lived
With the ice and the snow
My spirit's grown weary
And now I am longing to go
That glorious beach seems so out of reach
I just sigh
Will I ever see it myself
Before I die?
The blue of the water unreal
Aqua and teal
I know it's a first-world lament
I know all my life was well-spent
Still I want to know how it might feel...
Aqua and teal
I'll keep the dream living inside me
Until I die
Visions of tall white clouds
All ringing the sky
Palms gently bending
Horizon undending
There am I
The blue of the water unreal
Aqua and teal
The blue of the water unreal
Aqua and teal
The blue of the water unreal
