Lyrics
YOU MAY THINK THAT YOU KNOW, YOU MAY THINK IT’S FUNNY
YOU OUGHT TO KNOW, BETTER THAN THAT
THAT IT’S JUST BAD LUCK
SO GIVE ME THE KEYS, HOLD ONTO YOUR WATER
DON’T PRETEND THAT THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG
AND IT WAS LIME AND NOT LEMON, IT WAS LIME AND NOT LEMON
SO GOODBYE LADIES, LADIES GOODBYE
GOODBYE LADIES, DON’T YOU CRY
MORE THAN YOU WANT TO TELL, MORE THAN YOU WANT TO SAY
MORE THAN YOU WILL, WILL EVER KNOW
IT WASN’T FAIR TO YOU
SO GIVE ME THE KEYS, HOLD ONTO YOUR WATER
DON’T PRETEND THAT THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG
AND IT WAS LIME AND NOT LEMON, IT WAS LIME AND NOT LEMON
SO GOODBYE LADIES, LADIES GOODBYE
GOODBYE LADIES, DON’T YOU CRY, DON’T YOU CRY
TIRED OF THE PAST, TIRED OF THE HURT
IT’S DIFFICULT FOR ME
AND WHY CAN’T I BE HEARD
IT’S JUST A SIMPLE WORD
SO GOODBYE LADIES, LADIES GOODBYE
GOODBYE LADIES, DON’T YOU CRY, DON’T YOU CRY, DON’T YOU CRY
THROUGH THE EYES OF TOMORROW, IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO WALK AWAY
FOR EVERYONE STILL BELIEVES AFTER TONIGHT, THERE IS NO TOMORROW
FOR IN ANY SITUATION, AN EVERLASTING SMILE
LIKE A WONDERFUL DREAM, THE DREAMS THAT YOU DREAM, CAN STILL BE MISTAKEN
I’VE GOT TO MAKE IT MATTER
I’M FINDING IT HARD TO FORGIVE
I CAN’T ALLOW MYSELF TO CARE
I’VE GOT NOTHING, NOTHING TO GIVE
AND IT’S NOT LONG ENOUGH, IT’S NOT LONG ENOUGH
DON’T CRY, I’LL SEE YOU SOON, I’M LOST MYSELF
BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF MEMORY, DREAMS GO TO SLEEP
THOSE DAYS WILL BE FOR ALL OF US, IN TIME, IF IT’S ALL WORTHWHILE
FLOATING LIKE A GHOST, LOVELY AS EVER
MOVING THROUGH QUICKSAND, YOU’LL FIND YOURSELF SOMEWHERE SPECIAL
I’VE GOT TO MAKE IT MATTER
I’M FINDING IT HARD TO FORGIVE
I CAN’T ALLOW MYSELF TO CARE
I’VE GOT NOTHING, NOTHING TO GIVE
AND IT’S NOT LONG ENOUGH, IT’S NOT LONG ENOUGH
DON’T CRY, I’LL SEE YOU SOON, I’M LOST MYSELF
I’VE GOT TO MAKE IT MATTER
I’M FINDING IT HARD TO FORGIVE
I CAN’T ALLOW MYSELF TO CARE
I’VE GOT NOTHING, NOTHING TO GIVE
AND IT’S NOT LONG ENOUGH, IT’S NOT LONG ENOUGH
DON’T CRY, I’LL SEE YOU SOON, I’M LOST MYSELF
MYSELF, MYSELF, LOST MYSELF
YOU ASK ME, WHAT CAN YOU DO
I’LL TELL YOU, THERE’S NOTHING TO LOSE
IT’S A TRAGEDY THAT SHE FINALLY
FOUND HER WAY TO THE SEA
THE SKY LOOKED BAD, MENACING
AND THE STORM CLOUDS WERE OUT
THERE’S NOTHING MORE POWERFUL
THAN HER SMILE AND CHARM
OFF THE EDGE OF THIS WORLD
A SAILORS TALE IS TOLD
BLOW THE LANTERN OUT, WHAT MORE CAN I DO
LOST HERSELF, GONE FOREVER
SHE BELONGS HERE, IN THIS EMPTY SPACE
IN PERPETUAL GRACE
HER EYES MAY BE BEAUTIFUL
AS THEY CARRY YOU DOWN TO THE DEEP
IF I COULD CHANGE JUST ONE THING
DON’T LET HER ON THE SHIP
BLOW THE LANTERN OUT, WHAT MORE CAN I DO
LOST HERSELF, GONE FOREVER
SHE BELONGS HERE IN THIS EMPTY SPACE
IN PERPETUAL GRACE
C’EST UNE TRAGEDIE, TU ME MANQUE, JA’I BESOIN DE TOI
POUR TOUJOURS, TU ME MANQUE, J’ADORE TOI
OOOH, OOOH, OOOH, OOOH
TRAGEDY, FINALLY, FOUND HER WAY TO THE SEA
OH TRAGEDY, FINALLY, FOUND HER WAY TO THE SEA, TO THE SEA
OH, HOW COME IT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO LET YOURSELF BE SO STRONG
OH, HOW COME IT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO WORK OUT YOU WERE SO WRONG
EACH NIGHT I WAKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT
I SUPPOSE IT’S NEVER TOO LATE, TOO LATE
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I NEED TO ADDRESS
HOW WILL I EVER FIND THE TIME, THE TIME
OH, HOW COME IT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO LET YOURSELF BE SO STRONG
OH, HOW COME IT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO WORK OUT YOU WERE SO WRONG
EACH NIGHT I’M HAUNTED BY MY OWN DEATH
MR MALRAUX SAID IT’S MAN’S FATE, MAN’S FATE
NOBODY EVER TOLD ME
SIX YEARS IS ALL WE’VE GOT
I CAN FEEL TIME BREATHING DOWN MY NECK
DOWN MY NECK
NOBODY EVER TOLD ME
SIX YEARS IS ALL I GOT
I CAN FEEL TIME BREATHING DOWN MY NECK
DOWN MY NECK
SIX MORE SUMMERS IS ALL THAT’S LEFT
SIX MORE SUMMERS IS ALL WE’VE GOT
SIX MORE SUMMERS IS ALL THAT’S LEFT
SIX MORE SUMMERS, DON’T GO AWAY
OLD MAN RUNNING
I’M AN OLD MAN RUNNING
SUCH AN OLD MAN RUNNING
RIGHT ON, OUT THE DOOR
AND IT’S KILLING ME
THAT I CAN BARELY SEE
ON THIS LONG, LONG ROAD
WHERE’S THE YOUNGER ME
AND I’M HOLDING ON
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
I WANNA FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
AND THIS CHANGE IN ME
ONE DAY YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
OLD MAN RUNNING
I’M AN OLD MAN RUNNING
BUT I’M NOT THAT SLOW
SUCH AN OLD MAN RUNNING
LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD
AND IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE EASY
NO, IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE HARD
OLD MAN RUNNING
EVERYONE IGNORES
AND I’M HOLDING ON
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
I WANNA FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
AND THIS CHANGE IN ME
ONE DAY YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
AND I’M HOLDING ON
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
I WANNA FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
AND THIS CHANGE ME
ONE DAY YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
OLD MAN RUNNING, OLD MAN RUNNING, OLD MAN RUNNING
AND IT’S KILLING ME, IT’S KILLING ME
IT’S KILLING ME, AND I’M HALF WAY DOWN THAT ROAD
THE EXPERIENCE WAS INTENSE
I REALISED AND WAS GRATEFUL FOR
HOW EVERYTHING CAN COME TO AN END
AND YOU WILL NEVER, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE
YOU WILL NEVER, KNOW FOR SURE
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE WAITED
I GUESS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WAITED
IT’S JUST A RUMOUR THERE WAS NO ENCOUNTER
A STRANGE DESIRE
IT’S A SHAME, UNDENIABLE
FOR ETERNITY YOUR SOUL WILL SLEEP
IT’S NO SURPRISE AND IT’S WONDERFUL
HOW AN ALIBI CAN SAVE A LIFE
AND YOU WILL NEVER, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE
YOU WILL NEVER, KNOW FOR SURE
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE WAITED
I GUESS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WAITED
IT’S JUST A RUMOUR THERE WAS NO ENCOUNTER
A STRANGE DESIRE
NOW, I CAN’T TELL YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE
WHERE YOU GONNA’ RUN TO
WHEN YOUR FACE IS REPLACED
WHAT WILL YOU DO
LONG AND LONELY HOURS
YOU NEED TO RECOGNISE
YOUR LEGACY
IN YOUR OWN TIME YOU’LL HAVE TO DECIDE
THE WAY FOR YOU
IT’S NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BELIEVE
IN THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
THE MAGIC’S CLOSER NOW, ‘CAUSE YOU’RE YOUNGER
NOW, I CAN’T TELL YOU WHO TO BELIEVE
THE MAGIC’S CLOSER NOW, ‘CAUSE YOU’RE YOUNGER
NOW, I CAN’T TELL YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE
IS THERE ANY WONDER
THE CHARADE, YOU PARADE
THOSE TRICKS YOU DO
STRONG AND THOUGHTLESS POWER
YOU NEED TO PUT ASIDE
SO, PATIENTLY
IN YOUR OWN TIME YOU’LL HAVE TO DECIDE
THE WAY FOR YOU
IT’S NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BELIEVE
IN THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
THE MAGIC’S CLOSER NOW, CAUSE YOU’RE YOUNGER
NOW, I CAN’T TELL YOU WHO TO BELIEVE
THE MAGIC’S CLOSER NOW, CAUSE YOU’RE YOUNGER
NOW, I CAN’T TELL YOU, WHAT TO BELIEVE
WHERE YOU GONNA’ RUN TO
WHEN YOUR FACE IS REPLACED
ICED COLD WATER RUNNING THROUGH HER VEINS
THEY SAY THAT SHE’S HARD TO PLEASE
WHEN I’M FEELING TROUBLED I JUST CLOSE MY EYES
AND CALL INTO THE AIR AND SHE’S THERE
TWO LOVERS ‘CROSS THE FLOOR
SINATRA FILLS THE AIR
THEY DON’T HEAR THE MUSIC
WHEN THERE’S TEARS IN THEIR HEARTS
MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED AND MANY TIMES I’VE LIED
AND HER SOFT LONG BREATH KEEPS ME WARM TONIGHT
COUNTING THE TIMES, COUNTING THE TIMES, COUNTING THE TIMES, COUNTING THE TIMES
I CAN’T PROMISE YOU ANYTHING
IF EVER THIS DANCE SHOULD END
SOME MISTAKES ARE JUST MISTAKES
WE ALWAYS PAY FOR, PAY FOR IN THE END AND SHE’S THERE
SWAYING GRACEFULLY
HEAR THE MUSIC SERENADE
LIGHT OF STEP AND SPIRIT
ONLY THE YOUNG CAN MAKE
MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED AND MANY TIMES I’VE LIED
AND HER SOFT LONG BREATH KEEPS ME WARM TONIGHT
COUNTING THE TIMES, COUNTING THE TIMES, COUNTING THE TIMES, COUNTING THE TIMES
ICE COLD WATER RUNNING THROUGH HER VEINS
THEY SAY SHE’S HARD TO PLEASE
WHEN I’M FEELING TROUBLED I JUST CLOSE MY EYES
BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW, FLAMES THEY TAKE HOLD
SWEPT AWAY FROM YOU, ON A SINGLE NIGHT
BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW, YOU’RE A CEMETERY FOR THE SOUL
LIFE’S A SHORT MOVIE
YOU’RE GONNA MISS OUT
AND ONE DAY YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY
REMEMBER THE WARNING
IT’S GONNA GET LOUD
THE FEAR STILL REMAINS
WANTING YOUR DESIRE, JUST TO CATCH THE FALL
BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW, IT’LL BE RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR
TOO MUCH FOR MY MIND, TOO MUCH FOR MY SOUL
BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW, THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH SORROW
LIFE’S A SHORT MOVIE
YOU’RE GONNA MISS OUT
AND ONE DAY YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY
REMEMBER THE WARNING
IT’S GONNA GET LOUD
THE FEAR STILL REMAINS
TOO MUCH FOR MY MIND, TOO MUCH FOR MY SOUL
BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW, THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH SORROW
LIFE’S A SHORT MOVIE
YOU’RE GONNA MISS OUT
AND ONE DAY YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY
REMEMBER THE WARNING
IT’S GONNA GET LOUD
THE FEAR STILL REMAINS
I NEVER KNEW THAT LOVE WOULD KEEP US APART
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO
WHY DID YOU GO AWAY, I’LL NEVER KNOW
YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU’RE THINKING EVERYTHING IS FINE
BUT DEEP INSIDE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS MINE
CAN’T LET YOU GO, YOU KNOW, I WON’T HURT YOU ANYMORE
I CAN’T LET YOU GO, I DON’T KNOW, OH, OH, OH
IF YOU WANT TO TRY AGAIN AND IF YOU WANT ME TOO
YOU KNOW I AM WILLING TO SEE IT THROUGH
IF YOUR DREAMS, THEY CAN COME TRUE
ON THE FIRST STAR OF EACH NIGHT
YOU KNOW I AM WILLING TO BE WITH YOU
JUST TAKE A CHANCE ON ME AND LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND
I NEVER MEANT FOR ME, TO BE SO UNKIND
SOME DREAMS ARE LOST IN LIFE AND NEVER FOUND
JUST STAY A LITTLE LONGER AND YOU WILL SEE
YOU KNOW YOU’RE MINE AND YOU SEE EVERY LITTLE SIGN
AND HOW OUR LOVE TOUCHES, SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE
NOW, I’VE RESIGNED MYSELF TO YOUR LOVE DEVINE
I CAN’T LET YOU GO, I DON’T KNOW, OH, OH, OH
IF YOU WANT TO TRY AGAIN AND IF YOU WANT ME TOO
YOU KNOW I AM WILLING TO SEE IT THROUGH
AND IF YOUR DREAMS, THEY CAN COME TRUE
ON THE FIRST STAR EACH NIGHT
YOU KNOW I AM WILLING TO BE WITH YOU, WITH YOU, WITH YOU, YOU
