Caravan Album

I fell from the right side into the dark
I did time with the Bullet Boys and I thought that really smart
Then you came to me with that smile on your face
Light's in your eyes and no sense of disgrace

Heartbreaker, I felt for you so
Soul taker, now everybody knows
Nobody knew it quite as well
While with you was a heartache, without you is a hell

If I thought of anyone, I thought of myself
I stood crying with my fingers high, I didn't need nobody else
Then you took me down with a flash and a grin
Showed me what it's all about and flew me back on in

You can feel cold when you're getting old, you can feel tall when you're small
Would you think twice when a summer night's gonna run for you to call
If it hits you like a thunderbolt right between the eyes
You don't know what is happening, you just feel surprised

Saw you at the corner of me eye on second day
Wondered what I'd done wrong but I stayed there anyway
Saw you in the classroom and I saw you in the street
Knew your name and knew your face and landed on me feet

Oh, we was dancing!
Oh, was romancing!
Oh, we was dancing!
Oh, couldn't chance it

You were going out with someone I called me best friend
Tried to look him in the eye, it's useless to pretend
Saw you in the classroom and I saw you in the street
Knew your name and knew your face and landed on me feet

Watcha gonna tell me if you're not growing old?
Think about the love that's lost when I'm all alone
Give a little thought to all the times that we had
Can't you see what you're doing to me?
Don't you know it makes me really sad?

Watcha gonna tell me when the night fades away?
Where you gonna run to in the cold light of day?
Think about it now cause it might get you, you know
Seems to me if you wanna be free
Then I'll have to let your loving go

From a distant room came a lonely tune, hangs heavy in the air
Sounds of scene where often been of depression and despair
People laughing and joking, drinking and smoking, they are not aware
Of the guy or his song as the piano plays on, they don't really care

He's just paid to please them, he's a clown without a face
A sound to fill their silence, a soul that leaves no trace
Every happy song is drowned in, drowned in sorrow
Yet no one sees the tears in his eyes
His dreams are gone, no special song, no tomorrow
No chorus as his spirit slowly dies

In the hazy gloom of this living tomb, a stripper earns her pay
To lusty cheers and the drunken leers, the piano fades away
As she sheds her clothes in a vulgar pose, she strips him of all pride
Yet he plays on such a desperate song, feels a savage changing tide

Won't someone help me?
I just want to play my song
If only you would only listen
I'd be so happy if you all would sing along
I'd have the things that I've been missing

But very soon came the final tune, no worry turned to song
Just an empty stool and a stagehand's call, his weakness was too strong
So twisted and high while starting to fly, he saw the changing tide
And he followed its will, until all was still, the piano player died

Come in, everybody, just make yourself at home
You can dance all night, you can feel alright till tomorrow
Come in, anybody, just treat it as your own
There's a lot to say if you wanna stay till tomorrow

Take the daily strain from upon your brain
And move around at ease
Give yourself a break from the same mistakes
Close the window now and breathe

Come on, take your shoes off, make yourself at home
Have a drink or two, it'll see you through till tomorrow

Come in, everybody, just make yourself at home
You can dance all night, you can feel alright till tomorrow
Laugh on, dance on, sing on, and join the company
Just forget the time, have some peace of mind

Come in anybody, in our hospitality
Then soon you'll see that tomorrow never comes

He says he's the only man around
Wait till you look into his eyes
He says he's the only man who cares
That's just because he's scared
This is the only sound around
Sounds like a fountain on the ground
He says he's the only man around
But wait till you look into his eyes
He says he's the only man who cares
That's just because he's scared

After all, your day is done and the nighttime's calmed you
Till the dawn comes again and the sunlight warms you
There is a light in the fire, reflected in your eyes
So with the warmth of desire that comes out of the glow
Shining on your face above, making shadows on the wall
Baby I know, baby I know

No disgrace can cause a shadow to rest on your face
But Heaven knows where it comes and where it all goes
But there is a bright shiny day waiting to be called
If you've the will, there's a way to brighten up your life
Oh, silver lining calling me, keep my head above
Baby I know, baby I know

Don't cry, don't sigh, don't spend your life off the wall
Living a love with a sad face won't do no good, won't do no good at all
Someday, some way, somebody'll open your eyes
Then you'll be like a sunshine, when the dawning comes and you'll be never surprised

Feel the glow, reaching out in through my window
For when you smile, it touches me somewhere deep down inside
For you are a bright shiny day come to take me back
I got a will, you're the way, you brighten up my life
With a smile, you called at me with a message from above
Baby I know, baby I know

Clear blue sky
Like a angel's eye
That clear blue sky
It makes me sigh – sigh

When I think of all my daydreams
When I think of all my fears
All my fears

Just as pure as glue
Like an angel's eye
When I come too
Beneath that clear blue sky – sky

Standing in the hall waiting for a call, trying to keep a smile on my face
Fell out of a dream that nearly had me screaming at night all over the place
And I was calling everywhere, but I can get no answer
There isn't anybody here, there's no answer

Then out in the night, try to get back, couldn't get it out of my head
Everywhere it seemed, I was followed by a dream, a voice that was clearly said
"You won't escape from me tonight, you know I've got your number
You are the next in line my friend, what's your number?"

Gotta find a way to fight back
Gotta keep a line of decencies
Gotta keep up my defences

Gotta be a song, a face by the dawn, it seemed to be calling me
--------- said that he would show me a way that I could shake a tree
Didn't have a voice, didn't have a choice, and my head felt like dynamite
Anyone but now it felt like a blow to one thousand pieces in the night
Oh, gotta help me now, I need find the answer
There isn't anybody here, there's no answer

Oh, gotta help me now
Keep a line of decencies
If you will only keep up de fences
