1. TURN TO STONE

The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low

A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)

I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on
Turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone

The dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright

The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
(In my blue world)

Yes, I'm turnin' to stone
'Cause you ain't coming home
Why ain't you comin' home
If I'm turnin' to stone
You've been gone for so long
And I can't carry on
Yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin'
I'm turnin' to stone

The dancing shadows on the wall
(The two-step in the hall)
Are all I see since you've been gone

Through all I sit here and I wait
(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)
You will return again some day
(To my blue world)


2. IT´S OVER

Summer came and passed away,
Hardly seemed to last a day
But it's over and what can I do

Music playin' in the air,
Silence on a darkened stair
'Cos it's over and what can I do

It's over, it's over, all over,
It's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of.

Lookin' over sunny days,
Searchin' for the righteous wave
'Cos it's over and what can I do

Lookin' from this distant shore
You ain't sailin' by no more
'Cos it's over and what can I do

It's over, it's over, all over,
It's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down.
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of.

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,
It's all over and what can I do?
Ah, it's over, it's over,
It's all over.


3. SWEET TALKIN´ WOMAN

I was searchin' on a one-way street.
I was hopin' for a chance to meet.
I was waitin' for the operator on the line.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(Chorus)
(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I was walkin', many days go by.
I was thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights.
Communication break down all around.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(Chorus)

I've been livin' on a dead-end street.
I've been askin' ev'rybody I meet.
Insufficient data coming through.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(Chorus)


4. ACROSS THE BORDER

In the heat of the day many miles away
When the sun is beating down upon the main street
I'll be waiting here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.

They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done.
You know I got to make the deadline.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight,
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
And the people dancing all across the city.
I'm leaving here tonight,
Gotta move down the line.

I'm gonna catch a ride on the 9:05,
I'm gonna ride the rails until we reach the morning,
maybe three or four hundred miles.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight,
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.

When the wind is blowing
Softly through the streets
Of a little town and the music's playin
You're waiting somewhere over the horizon.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border then I'll write.


5. NIGHT IN THE CITY

Standin' at the airport
Lookin' down the strip,
She was cryin' her eyes,
She was bitin' her lip.
747 just left from gate eleven
And there's no turnin' round
'cos it's just leavin' the ground
And gettin' higher.

Standin' at the dock-side

Lookin' out to sea
When I saw her there
But she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope
Because she'd missed the boat
And as her dreams sailed away
She headed back for the day,
Back to the city.

Night in the city, oh oh oh,
Madness at midnight,
Night in the city
Drivin' you insane.

I was runnin' kinda lonely
At the city place.
I waited for an hour,
Never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait
And slide around like a snake
I just can't take anymore,
I'm going in through the door
Into the city.

Night in the city, oh oh oh,
Madness at midnight,
Night in the city
Drivin' you insane.


6. STARLIGHT

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
And the you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

[Repeat and fade...]
Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away.


7. JUNGLE

I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
But what`s that going on, I think I`m outta my head
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.^

(Chorus)
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

A hundred animals were gathered `round in the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"Come join us if you so desire."

(Chorus)

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

(Chorus)

And they danced!
Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

(Chorus 2x)

"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"


8. BELIEVE ME NOW

Can you hear me?
Ahhhhhh, Something, something!

Believe me now,
I could never say goodbye,
Don't leave me now,
Believe me now


9. STEPPIN´ OUT

Pack up all your things
We're gonna be leaving
Sooner than I thought
Take the things you bought
Clouds are gathering.

Say goodbye to all your friends
We're gonna be sorry
For a while, that's how it goes
But then again, who knows
About the rain.

I'm steppin' out
I'm movin' on
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rollin' stone
I'm gonna be somebody
Oh, I'm steppin' out.

Did you hear what he said?
He said they
Sold me down the river
They thought I was a fool
They said the rain would fall
What did they know?

Then I saw your face
And the song that
You were singin'
Though I thought I knew the words
The tune was quite absurd
And out of key
Doo dah dah dee.

I'm steppin' out
I'm moving on
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone
I'm gonna be somebody...
Oh, I'm steppin' out.


10. STANDIN´ IN THE RAIN

I'm standing in the rain
I'm waiting all alone
I'm so tired
I want to go home.

I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what do I get?

I'm standing in the rain
Can't seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.

I'm standing in the rain
It's teeming down on me
Cats & dogs
I want to be free.

I'm standing in the rain
Doing my thing
I'm trying my best
What does it bring?

I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what does it get?

The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain
I tried to be so good this time
But here I am under the sky.

The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain.


11. BIG WHEELS

I've been thinking it over
So many times they say
You got it made
They never understand
The answer lies within your soul
'Cause no one know which side
The coin will fall.

(Chorus)
Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning
Baby I know
Big wheels turning, turning...

Save it for a rainy day
For when the cold wind blows
Just to see how they run
I thought they'd know
I tried my best, all I could do
But somehow it was not enough for you.

(Chorus)

I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go.

I think I'm going home
I think I'm gonna have to start again
It's rather sad
Because I've looked around, can't seem to find
Whatever's always rolling through my mind

(Chorus)

I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go.


12. SUMMER AND LIGHTNING

I have waited
For your love
For so long
How do i go on?
I have told you
So many times
It's no good
You're treating me so wrong.

Out there so far away
Above the sky will say
For you...
Here it comes again
It's all around me
It must be magic
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can see you
In my mind
The lost time
That you're saving
I could reach out
And touch you
What can i do?
The sun ain't shining.

Out there so far away
Above the sky will say
For you...


13. MR. BLUE SKY

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you

Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba


14. SWEET IS THE NIGHT

When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
And the people of the city have all lost and won
In your city dress you stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair

And the light that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street I wait
But I can't seem to get to you.

Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier
'cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
So you move along where it's going on
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn

And the sun that shines
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes that cry
Wishing and hoping
Oh...

(Chorus)
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near.

Well you did your thing and you lost your wings
And you hurt so bad you lost everything
And the tears that fall on the city wall
Will fade away with the rays of morning light that shines
Paints a smile across your pretty face
I know

Everything is alright
Alright...

(Chorus...)


15. THE WHALE

(Instrumental)


16. BIRMINGHAM BLUES

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home
Yes, I've been long-gone
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

Been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles
And I've been long-gone
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

(Chorus)
Across the world I've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name.

I wouldn't change the things I do for anything
But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
'Cos boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial Revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

(Chorus)

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet
They'll say: You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone
'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues.

(Chorus 2x)


17. WILD WEST HERO

Sometimes I look up high
And then I think there might,
Just be a better life
Away from all we know
That's where I wanna go
Out on the wild side,
And I wish I was
Oh oh oh oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day
Till the first fading light
Be with my western girl
Round the fire oh so bright
I'd be the indians' friend
Let them love to be free
Ridin' into the sunset
I wish I could be.

I'd ride the desert sands
And through the prairie lands
Tryin' to do what's right
The folks would come to me
They'd say we need you here
I'd stay there for the night,
Oh I wish I was
Oh oh oh oh, a wild west hero

Ride the range all the day
Till the first fading light
Be with my western girl
Round the fire oh so bright
I'd be the indians' friend
Let them love to be free
Ridin' into the sunset
I wish I could be.
