another saturday evening here in harbortown
i been thinking about you
when you coming around
you keep me lifted
way up off the ground
i see your big bright eyes
i cant make a sound
i take one step and im out the door
i take two more
and i can't ignore
how i'm three steps closer
than i was before
to takin off with you honey to the moon and more
i said only you
its only you
you give me so much more
than anyone
thought i'd loved before
so come saturday evening
when you're work is done
let me pick you up late and we can have some fun
girl we can do things we ain't never done
took you a new york minute and my heart was won

your love
can not be separated
it doesn't disappear
not even when the moon and earth melt
and the sun rolls back the years
and you can hurt it
you can bruise it
but you cannot ever lose it
some people they love many
yeah and others will love a few
but its you and me baby
to this i swear, i'll be true

The Longest Night
03:11
|

|
i sat with you on a chapel floor
and my voice rose up with others
from the darkness whispered a prayer was said
it was the screen door it was summer
my waist with you beneath the river
as my head drops under water
when the dove descends my new life begins
gonna give it the best that i can
i stayed with you on a worn out blue couch
and we taped our notes together
under streetlights blistered
our heads we lost our heads
should have prayed for better weather
he came from you
to be bled by the others
for the good
that some men would do
from the darkness whimpered
a prayer was read
it was the longest night of his summer

oh honey darlin baby
if you had any sense about me
you'd go leavin leavin leavin
my baby baby baby
if you heard everything about me
you run screaming screaming for the hills
cause its the thrill of love
thats kept me young
and when i feel that hunger for you
oh what can i do?
so why don't you take me break me break me
until my eveything is about you
until i mean it bleeding screamin for the cure
you know i hated waitin patient so much more
when its the thrill of love that kept you so long
til you felt your heart was broken in two
you said what did i do?
i wish the sound of my strings was as soft as your voice
oh i hope to god that i gave you a choice
say im letting you down, how?
if you missed me would you make a sound out loud?
or i'm moving west, oh but baby baby i wish you the best

baby you can leave me
or you can call again
to say that you don't need me
but you're not convincing
and lately loves been fading
all the damage i've done
oh the junkyard could not be kept waiting
for you and your heart
oh but maybe you cant hear me?
should i knock at your door?
i don't need to have you near me
so lets not tear this apart
meanwhile my head floats away hung from one black balloon
i'm not ready to go but i'll ready to go but i'll get ready soon
and i'll walk away
yeah i'll walk away
away

a brief moment of attraction
wont you stay a little longer
and have another drink
but i'll always want another with you
the first time that i saw her
she was walking home with olives
hand picked from bitter branches
the way she moved my heart did dances
for you and only you
i cant see how anyone could not love you
and though i may try try try
sometime tomorrow tomorrow
i know you may cry cry cry
but our time was borrowed
so don't get too low
a brief moment of distraction
you wished it stayed a little longer
just have another drink
but you'll always want another
cause that is what you do
you can't see how anyone could not love you
the last time that i saw her
she was headed south for oxford
with her hair pulled up in white bows
and the words were never so close to you
i can't help love anyone
its only you
and though i may try try try
sometime tomorrow tomorrow
i know you may cry cry cry
but our time was borrowed
so don't get too low
a brief moment of destruction
wont you wait a little longer
give me just another drink
cause there'll always be another with you
i cant help love anyone
