SOUTHBOUND TRAIN
Waiting at the station on the edge of town
For a southbound train going down
The day we went to Paris the air was fresh and clear
Those days so far and yet so near
Hopelessly hoping to escape their rules
Like hopelessly romantic fools
Riding on a southbound train
Riding on a southbound train
We were riding on a southbound train
Southbound train
Riding into Paris drinking cheap champagne
Changin’ trains in the early morning rain
Heading for the south with a sunset over blue
Building a sandcastle for two
Where the sky is still and the beach grass grows
The air is warm and the south wind blows
Riding on a southbound train …
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
Thank God the night is over
And dawn becomes day
I’ve been thinking a long time about
What to say
I’ve been travelling a long time
Just followed the sun
And I’ve spent my time on the road
On the run
I’ve been hopin’ for someone like you
I’ve been waitin’ for someone like you
I’ve been searchin’ for someone like you
You
I’ve been lookin’ for a soulmate
To fin’lly come through
I’ve been carrying the weight of the world
Without you
Now I’m counting the hours
To see you again
Cause you can chase the dark clouds away
Tell me when
I’ve been hopin’ for someone like you …
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Walking through the summer night
With all the time in the world
Those were the days of miracles
Remember how we were
From time to time
It’s all coming back
But nothing ever stays
Those were the days …
In the morning of our lives
We wouldn’t be afraid
Those were the days of promises
When all our dreams were made
Running in circles
It’s all coming back
But nothing ever stays
Those were the days
I still wonder what went wrong
And what made us part
Those were the days of innocence
And you could read my heart
I still remember
And it’s all coming back
But nothing ever stays
Those were the days …
TONIGHT THERE’S A WIND
There is a place in the backstreets of my mind
Filled with the years and the days I left behind
And I recall every face I’ve seen
Every place I’ve been
I see it all – the summer nights
And the days so bright
Tonight there’s a wind
And I can feel the past closing in
And I wanna taste those mem’ries again
So I spread my wings
And I will fly to be there again
Tonight there’s a wind
There is a road which we all have got to go
And where it leads to- it’s good we do not know
But I recall every day gone by
Makes me laugh and cry
I see it all – the summer days
And our last embrace
Tonight there’s a wind …
NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE
If we keep the candle burnin’
Maybe we could talk all night
About the dreams we left behind
And fin’lly tell the wrong from right
I could be talking in my sleep
Secrets I’m trying to hide
Maybe I would tell the truth
When you’re lying by my side
Maybe you are heaven sent to me
Maybe you’re the woman to save me
Never felt like this before
I’m not drifting anymore
my ship comes in – skin to skin
I never felt like this before
I was taken by surprise
Still that sparkle in your eyes
You’re the one I’m waiting for
I never felt like this before
I’m feeling like a little boy
I’m feeling as if lost my soul
Will I reach my destination
Maybe you can make me whole
Is it magic is it real
Or is it just a slow good bye
Can we keep the fire burning
if we really really try
If I lose my way please wait for me
I’ll be waiting here to make you see
Never felt like this before …
And if I ever say those words to you
Maybe you could help to make it true
Never felt like this before …
KISS THE PAST GOODBYE
The moment I saw you I fell for your smile
The world stopped turnin’ for a while
On days like these I wish you were still here
I’m missing you my dear
Though we’re far apart
You’re right here in my heart
But I know as time slowly goes by
Kiss the past goodbye
Memories of you are dancing in my head
The times we laughed – the things you said
And I miss the million things that make you dear
Oh how I wish you were still here
We both know it’s much too late
For the road we never tried
And I know I’ve gotta let it fly
Kiss the past goodbye
I remember sunsets too perfect to be true
Starry summer nights with you
Though we’re far apart
You’re right here in my heart
But I know I’ve gotta let it fly
Kiss the past goodbye
