Oh Susie
Chorus:
Oh, Susie
we've run out of time
oh, Susie
say what's on your mind
we've got nowhere to run
we were much too young.
Love is warm and understanding
when you're seventeen
love is cold
kills your dreams and schemes
much too young
the words are comin'
like a neonlight
of and on
bringin' back last night
bringin' back last night.
(chorus)
I'm in love
and nothing else can
make me feel this way
now I'm lost not much more to say
radio
the song they're playin' can't be rightly sung
off and on
singin' much too young
singin' much too young
L. A. Goodbye
Captain's telling me that I am welcome
He's saying that soon this bird will fly
He says the forecast's looking fine.
'cross the runway I can see you
Looking lost and trying not to cry.
I see you getting smaller
I wish that I could stail her
Leave this pane but
L.A. Goodbye
oh (x3)
L.A. Goodbye -
L.A. Goodbye
oh (x3)
Two hearts in love that will die.
In just a minute says the captain
We'll take off from here and ride the sky.
He says it's still "No Smoking".
All along we knew that this would happen
We just tried to hide it from ourselves
We tried to stay together
As if it was forever
Oh
forever.
L.A. Goodbye
oh (x3)
...
L.A. Goodbye
oh (x3)
From way up high -
L.A. Goodbye
Two hearts in love that wiil die.
L.A. Goodbye
oh (x3)
...
Cry Softly
we don't know just how to taste it.
Like a blue and wailing song our time runs in
And then runs out wasted.
Rubbing sleep out of your eyes waking up to find me calling.
Let's not wait or take too long
the castle you once built so strong isfalling
Cry softly time is mourning longing for you at the dawning.
Baby
dreams will last forever.
Tell me your heart is burning
Knowing that the tide is turning
baby
dreams will last forever
forever.
See the night pass in my eyes
feel the pain inside me crying.
Like a blue and wailing song out time runs in
and then runs out dying.
Cry softly time is mourning... (x3)
Flash in the Night
All my hopes seemed so forlorn.
The misty signs of laughter
And the light eluded all.
My despair was caught in motion
A face just barely true -
Shadows in blue.
A flash in the night . . .
In the changing of the season
Releasing one lost name.
The scar once healed forever
Dissolving in the rain.
A twig snapped in the clearing
A glimpse of golden skin
My face within
My despair was caught in motion.
A face just barely true -
Shadows in blue.
A flash in the night...
Ye Si Ca
I was young and alone
And my heart searched the world for a home.
She was free like a bird
And sang songs to me I never heard.
She sang ye-si-ca
She sang ye-si-ca.
Well
the sound of her voice
Made it plain that she knew about boys.
I brought wine to her taste
And we didn't let much go to waste.
We sang ye-si-ca
We sang ye-si-ca.
And the boys in the band at the hotel
They played it all over again.
I knew it by heart in the morning
And her body was more than a friend.
She sang ye-si-ca
She sang ye-si-ca.
Late at night when the wind
Passes by like the touch of her skin.
It will bring to my mind
A song and the sweet smell of wine.
She sang ye-si-ca
She sang ye-si-ca.
She sang ye-si-ca
I sang ye-si-ca.
And the boys in the band at the hotel
They played it all over again.
I knew it by heart in the morning
And her body was more than a friend.
She sang ye-si-ca
She sang ye-si-ca
we sang ye-si-ca.
And the boys in the band at the hotel
Ten O'Clock Postman
Bring me your letter
Ten o'clock postman
Make me feel better
Been so many days
Since that I've met her
Ten o'clock postman
Bring me her letter
I'm walking all over the room
Wonder why I don't stop biting my nails
Why carry this feeling of doom
A couple more hours and I'll get the mail
I'll get the mail
Finding it so hard to eat
The toast and the eggs they just don't taste the same
Hearing a noise in the street
I run to the window and cry out in the vain
Ten o'clock postman
...
Remembering that she said for sure
I'll write you the minute I'll get off the plane
Nothing
not one single word
It must come this morning or I'll go insane
I'll go insane
Now it's been almost five days
Could she have sent it by air or by rail
I hear someone's comin' this way
This must be it yes it must be the mail
Ten o'clock postman
...
