Gerry Rafferty Album

You still got that light in your eyeAnd our day is comin' by and byI'm travellin' this long road to be with youWe still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.
The first time I set eyes on you, and I listened to you sing, yeah yeahWe didn't have to speak cause the words said everythingYes you walked right into my life, and we were on our way, yeahSo long ago, but it feels like yesterday.
And I just wanna tell you...
You still got that light in your eye (yes you do)And our day is comin' by and byI'm travellin' this long road to be with youWe still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.
Now some of my best memories are days I spent with you, yeahEach time we hit the road it was always somethin' newSpaced out rather drunkAnd singin' in the sun, yeah yeahOne more bottle dead and a new day just begun.
I just wanna tell you...
You still got that light in your eyeAnd our day is comin' by and byI'm travellin' this long road to be with youWe still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.
Shinin' light, shinin' bright on the days gone downShinin' light, shinin' bright on the days gone downShinin' light, shinin' bright on the days gone down
We won't forget the days gone down, they're written in our hearts, yeah yeahAnd we're as much in tune as we were right at the startIt all seems so much harder now, it seemed so easy then, yeah yeahWell someday just for fun we might do it all again.
I just wanna tell you...
You still got that light in your eye (yes you do)And our day is comin' by and byI'm travellin' this long road to be with youWe still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.
Yeah yeah still got that light in your eyeAnd our day is comin' by and byI'm travellin', travellin' (yeah yeah)We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.

Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your ownLost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
Down the street the neon light shinesOffering refuge and hope to the blindYou stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noNo no no no
The lights are low and the Muzak is loudYou watch yourself as you play to the crowdOne more face in a palace of mirrors.
One more drink, you're sailing awayOne more dream but it's looking okOne more time to watch the flow of the river.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noNo no no no no no no oooooooh
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noNo no no no
You've seen it all yeah you've seen it beforeLike a fool you always come back for moreYou live your life like there was no more tomorrow.
Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your ownLost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noOh no no noNo no no noNo no no noNo noNo noOooooooooooh

Why won't you talk to meI've done nothing wrong that I can see.
You know I can't take this silence, tell me what's wrong with youIf I'm supposed to feel guilty, tell me what did I doIt must be a reason for you acting this wayBut I swear I won't know it ‘til you come out and say.
Why won't you talk to meI've done nothing wrong that I can see.
I don't know why I'm trying to break down this wallThat you build up between us or nothing at allIt feels like a bad dream, it feels like a gameBut I swear this is one time that I'm not to blame.
Why won't you talk to meI've done nothing wrong that I can see.

Out on the street I was talkin' to a manHe said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand"You shouldn't worry yes that ain't no crimeCause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
You need direction, yeah you need a nameWhen you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the sameAfter a while you can recognize the signsSo if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
Life is a liar yeah life is a cheatIt'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feetNo use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whineCause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakesYou gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awakeWhen you believe there's no mountain you can climbAnd if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
Next time, hmmmmm

I was caught up in a fever In that summer of ‘69And my heart was cryin' out for changeAnd I knew time was comin' when I'd get away.
So I moved down to that cityWhere I met a friend of mineAnd I must admit he tried to warn me wellWith all those bad luck stories he could tell.
He said "Take the money and run,Take the money and runBelieve it, in this town you can't trust anyoneYou're gonna learn that lesson my son".
"Take the money and run,Buy yourself a place in the sunDon't be a fool, don't you trust anyoneYou gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".
He was broken, he was wastedHe'd been brought down to his kneeAnd his heart was crying out for truthYou could see the whole world's sadness in his eyes.
So I took good care of businessAt least as far as I could seeI could read the signs and I knew all the linesBut so many times his voice came back to me.
"Take the money and run,Get it at the point of a gunBelieve it, in this town you can't trust anyoneYou're gonna learn that lesson my son".
"Take the money and run,Buy yourself a place in the sunDon't be a fool, don't you trust anyoneYou gotta take the money and run, take the money and run".
I've been wanderin' through this wastelandWhere the blind go leading the blindAnd the only sound on the money-go-roundWas the million voices waiting to be found.
I could only hear a whisperIt was comin' from the one I lovedAnd her heart was saying this can't be rightAll my wasted days and all her lonely nights.
Take the money and run,Get it at the point of a gunBelieve it, n this town you can't trust anyoneYou're gonna learn that lesson my son.
Take the money and run,Buy yourself a place in the sunDon't be a fool, don't you trust anyoneYou gotta take the money and run, take the money and run.

When we were young we used to singAnd we could feel the harmonyYou'd sit there waiting in the wingsHow long have you been waitin' to let your light shine?
Many years have gone since thenSeen us go our different waysBut now we sit here once againTonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.
This is the time and placeTo bring out our memoriesIt's written on every faceI can see it in you, you can see it in me.
In all the years we hadAs part of a family treeWe knew the good and badI can see it in you, you can see it in me.
I know it's left its mark on youI see the same things in myselfYou know there's nothin' we can't doWe've been a long time waitin', but some things never die.
It's time to leave all that behindIt's time to lay that ghost to restWe can't deny the ties that bindTonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.
This is the time and placeTo bring out our memoriesIt's written on every faceI can see it in you, you can see it in me.
In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing)As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony)We knew the good and badI can see it in you, you can see it in me.
When we were young we used to sing...

Once I had a dream I could lean uponNothin's what it seemsIt was already gone.
Dreams I shared with youOn our way back homeWatched it all come trueIt was already gone.
I was waitin' for the sun to shineBut every day would bring the rainI was down, but you changed my luckAnd the dream was still the same.
I watched it fly awayLike a bird across the skyMiles and miles and miles awayYes, it's already gone.
I was waitin' for the sun to shineBut every day would bring the rainI was down, but you changed my luckAnd the dream was still the same.

Flew away at the speed of soundI threw up when we touched downBut I'm alright, I'll be alright.
New York's bakin' in the sunGot the news it just made number oneHere we go for one more memoryWay back here in the twentieth century.
That night in AmsterdamYou saw me for what I amAnd you found out, yeah you found me out.
And I knew what I saw in you And I still can't believe it's trueBut I'll find out, I'm gonna find out.
Meanwhile back down on Fifth AvenueRaphael just bought some brand new shoesMe, I'm wiped out, I'm dead on my feetCome a long long way from Baker Street.
I'm watchin' a night come downAnd we're headin' for one more townBut it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Who cares what the night might bringCause we're ready for anythingSo it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Heading' out across the U.S.A.California's still a long long wayHere we go for one more memoryWay back here in the twentieth century.

Starin' at the moon againYes you been out on the looseYou still feel like a haunted manThis kinda life just ain't no use.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
You sit around and talk awhileYou go stealin' like a thiefThe silence kills and the talk is cheapAnd you don't get no relief.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
She left her calling cardAnd said her last goodbyesShe found a way into your heartAnd you lie there wondering why.
Gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long long long long lonely night.
You sit around and talk awhileYou go stealin' like a thiefThe silence kills and the talk is cheapAnd you don't get no relief.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
