Especially For You

Alone At Midnight

She's written in the wind.
I see her face everywhere I go.
She follows me in my dreams.
I wake with teardrops on my pillow.

Love comes and goes.
Everybody knows
I'm alone at midnight.

I spoke with her on the phone.
It's been three years since we said hello.
The years flow by like a dream.
We talked a while, then she had to go.

Love comes and goes.
Everybody knows
I'm alone at midnight.

Teardrops are falling along down.
My heart is calling to you.
Midnight is calling. I hear the sound
So sad and lonely for you.

If you see her around,
Won't you please tell her I said hello.
The years flow by like a dream.
I wake with teardrops on my pillow.

Love comes and goes.
Everybody knows
I'm alone at midnight

Blood And Roses

It was long ago.
It seems like yesterday.
I saw you standing in the rain,
Then I heard you say,

"I want to love, but it comes out wrong.
I want to live, but I don't belong."
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses.

I brought flowers in the springtime.
October, we were wed.
In winter time, the roses died.
Her blood ran cold, and then she said,

"I want to love, but it comes out wrong.
I want to live, but I don't belong."
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses.

It was long ago.
It seems like yesterday.
I saw you standing in the rain,
Then I heard you say,

"I need your love, but it comes out wrong.
I've tried to live, but I don't belong."
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses.


Cigarette

Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while.
Thought of your face, and that brought me a smile.
Wanted another one. Fell back asleep, instead.
Woke and found you sitting there on the bed.

Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour til you're leaving this town.

Went to the corner store, bought us another pack.
Held my arm around you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind. Didn't want you to go.
I want you more, it seems, than you could ever know.

Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour til you're leaving this town.

Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while.
Thought of your face, and that brought me a smile.

Crazy Mixed Up Kid

My friends tell me she will be back some day.
Until then, I'll have to find a way.
I've tried so very hard to be someone she'd fall in love with.
I cry my eyes out. She's no good, it's true, and I know it.
Guess she's just a crazy, mixed up kid.

Every night, she says she'll come around.
Until she does, you know I won't be found.
I've tried so very hard to be someone she'd fall in love with.
I cry my eyes out. She's no good, it's true, and I know it.
Guess she's just a crazy, mixed up kid.

I won't compromise. I won't look in her eyes.
It seems unfair that girls like her don't even care.

My friends tell me she will be back some day.
Until then, I'll have to find a way.
I've tried so very hard to be someone she'd fall in love with.
It hurts to love a girl when she don't even want to know you.
Guess she's just a crazy, mixed up kid.


Groovy Tuesday

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Even my hangover's fine.
Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Hung my mind out on the line.

Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy.
Now, I know that nothing lasts.

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday,
Everything is not the same.
Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
Think I'll even change my name.

Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy.
Now, I know that nothing lasts.

And I can't help it if I'm not the one you need.
It doesn't matter if I'm still the lost ball in the weeds.

Woke up on a groovy Tuesday,
Flower pot, man, looked my way.
Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.
I can see what he can't say.

Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy.
Now, I know that nothing lasts.


In A Lonely Place

I heard it said somewhere that one day all good things come to an end.
I turn around to see you. And if I do or not, it all depends.

I was born the day I met you,
Lived a while when you loved me,
Died a little when we broke apart.
Yesterday, it would have mattered.
Now today, it doesn't mean a thing.
All my hopes and dreams are shattered now.
I'm in a lonely place without you.
I'm in a lonely place without you.

I walk the streets alone at night sometimes and think about you.
I look as strangers pass, and wonder how I'll live without your love.

I was born the day I met you,
Lived a little when you loved me,
Died a little when we broke apart.
Suddenly, this world's no longer bright.
I'm alone and lonely every night.
Won't you bring back your love that's out of sight?
I'm in a lonely place without you.
I'm in a lonely place without you.


Listen To Me Girl

Listen to me, girl,
I've been so lonely.
Want you so bad, girl.
I want you only.
Listen, listen to me girl.

Listen to me, now.
I'm thinking of you.
Listen to my heart.
I really love you.
Listen, listen to me, girl.

Sometimes, I wonder just what she is doing,
Wasting my time with her lies.
I know that someday she'll drive me to ruin.
She plays around while love dies.

Maybe tomorrow
You'll see it my way.
There'll be no sorrow,
Only the bright day.
Listen, listen to me, girl.
Listen, listen to me, girl.
Listen, listen to me, girl.
Listen to me, girl.
