Gerry Rafferty Album

Well the jury found you guilty, as you stare into a world that's without loveBut you keep a wall around you, and you wait for help to come down from aboveNow the wisdom of your ways has finally caught you up, and left you to your fateSo you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates.
Now the truth is slowly dawning, but you don't get any warning here withinAnd you swear that you can change your ways, you promise that tomorrow you'll beginBut the phases of the moon still come and go, and now you've left it much too lateSo you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates.
All aboard the roundabout like the biggest fool you've ever seenAnd all the time you know what's comin' down (it's comin' down)Up and down on the roundabout while you're sittin' right on dynamiteAnd any fool can see what's comin' down.
You can run with the wind, you can laugh at the rain, and pretendIt's just some bad weatherThere's a storm comin' up, and it's headin' your way.
Now the spirit doesn't move you, you're so empty, you've got nothin' left to giveYes you know by now that nothin' you have ever learned has taught you how to liveBut the phases of the moon still come and go, and now you've left it much too lateSo you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates.
All aboard the roundabout like the biggest fool you've ever seenAnd all the time you know what's comin' down (it's comin' down)Up and down on the roundabout while you're sittin' right on dynamiteAnd any fool can see what's comin' down.
You can run with the wind, you can laugh at the rain, and pretendIt's just some bad weatherThere's a storm comin' up, and it's headin' your way.
Well the jury found you guilty, as you stare into a world that's without loveYes you keep a wall around you, and you wait for help to come down from aboveNow the wisdom of your ways has finally caught you up, and left you to your fateSo you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates.
Yes you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gatesYes you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates.

I asked my heart to talk to my mindThey said don't worry, oh well you're doin' fineI went to the doctor, I said I'm misunderstoodHe said ‘Don't worry, why your intentions are good.'
Now life is a hard school, when you're living a lieTell me who'll bring you water, when your well runs dry?Ah but there's always tomorrow, you'll do the things that you shouldYou're just a sad eyed dreamer, but your intentions are good.
I am a man who keeps his head down in the sandIf the spirit doesn't move you what's the use in making plans?I've been to the mountain, I've been out in the rainI'm a long way from home but I can make it back again.

One life, and you're on your own, and you don't ever find a way back home
One road and you travel alone, you keep on even when your hope is gone
Now somethin' touches you with a different rhythm
But all your life, you've been playin'a part
And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.

Change of heart. Change of heart.
Change of heart. Change of heart.

A worried mind, and a heart full of pain, you drag it around just like a ball and chain
It doesn't matter where you go, there's no runnin' away from everything you know
The writing's on the wall, but still you won't surrender
You won't give up, you won't make a start
And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.

Change of heart. Change of heart.
Change of heart. Change of heart.

Rain clouds blowin' away, taking you back again to yesterday
Bad moon on the rise, now you're runnin' out of alibis
But somethin' touches you, with a different rhythm
All your life, you've been playin'a part
And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart.

(fade)
Change of heart. Change of heart.
Don't let this cold world tear you apart.

Driftin' along with the wind, telling yourself you can't winIt's over and now we begin, oh yeah we are on the wayLight shining down from the east, bringing a love that won't ceaseYeah now we are finally released, oh yeah we're on the way.
I used to think that I was doin' all right, but now I know that I was just hanging onI used to wake up in the dead of night, and see the road that I was travellin' on.
Only one woman one man, just doing the best that we canThere's so much we don't understand, oh yeah but we're on the wayYeah Yeah YeahYeah Yeah Yeah

Out on the street and the rain is fallin', I got nowhere to goHere in my heart I can hear you callin' maybe I should come back homeI don't know what keeps us together, but I can't break the chainI don't mind a little stormy weather, but I just can't stand the rain.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moonSleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.
Sleep won't come so you lie there waitin', lookin' at the silvery lightTellin' yourself there's nothin' new, so whatever gets you through the nightMeanwhile back in the music business the beat goes on and onI sell my soul to the company man, when there's nothin' else to lean upon.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moonSleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.
People come and people go, friends they disappearThere's only one thing that I wanna know, tell me where do we go from hereEverybody's on the make, everybody's tryin' to get aheadIn a world like this you just exist to feed the walkin' dead.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moonSleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.
Lookin' out on a world gone crazy, waitin' for the fun to beginThe race is on yeah they're gettin' ready, Jesus what a state we're inMeanwhile down in my backyard I'm sittin' doin' solitaryNow that I've milked the sacred cow, I just worry ‘bout the military.
Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moonSleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.

As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoonWhen you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to goWith a fool like you, I will say anything you want me toWith a fool like me, I'm amazed at how you take it all so seriously.
People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they knowBut I'm runnin' out of alibis, I got one thing left that I can't denyYes I'm doin' time, doin' time, and it won't be long ‘til I cross that lineYes the day will come when it's time to go, you better get ready, ‘cause now you know.
In a place like this, you abandon all hope, you just existYou can't break the spell, well you know you're not in heaven, but you might be in hell.
People come and people go, and people want to tell you just how much they knowBut I'm runnin' out of alibis, I got one thing left that I can't denyYes I'm doin' time, doin' time, and it won't be long ‘til I cross that lineYes the day will come when it's time to go, you better get ready, ‘cause now you know.
As you crossed the room, I was all wrapped up in my cocoonWhen you said hello, I had nowhere to run and I had nowhere to go.
(fade)Yes I'm runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'Yes I'm runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Spinning on another wheel, goin' round in slow motion
Caught up in another dream, driftin' on a blue ocean
When are you gonna reach out, only you can turn your world around
When will you surrender, and wake up to the real
But you don't want to start out just yet, you watch the seasons come and go
You remember and then you forget, all along the way.

You can make a better life, you're just waitin' for the right moment
You can find another way, you're just waitin' for the right moment
When are you gonna let go, and forget about the life you knew
When will you surrender, and wake up to the real
Now you know that it's all borrowed time, and still you waste another day
But you watch and you wait for a sign all along the way.

Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives awayWhile the spirits come and go without a soundAnd just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home.
There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry meI don't ever hang my soul out on the lineWhen the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home.
There's a light in the city, that comes down from aboveLeavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a doveDon't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your loveYou've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
Now you once asked me why we can't communicateBut it doesn't always pay to tell the truthIf I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away homeSo we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives awayWhile the spirits come and go without a soundYeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home.
There's a light in the city, that comes down from aboveLeavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a doveDon't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your loveYou've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
