I walked backwards this afternoon
There’s no doubt you appeared
Wearing that grin let me in, I’ll be good
I am not scared, any longer

Sixteen days in a ballroom gown
I’m as tired as my shoes
Learning the dance of no chance
I’m invited to lose
Darling do you get the picture?

I’ got time
I’m not addicted to some bitter love
I’m glad to know that you think that it’s fine, fine
Seems like I was dancing so much faster than my courage
Just the same I will leave it all behind

Don’t underestimate the fist for the glove
Inch yourself back from the line
I’m going nuts it’s a rut
Can we leave it all behind

Darling do you get the Picture?

I’ got time
I’m not addicted to some bitter love
I’m glad to know that you think that it’s fine, fine
Seems like I was dancing so much faster than my courage
Just the same I will leave it all behind

More than he had money,
More than he had fame
He heard the whisper of angel voices in the rain
They said he’d be all right
To heed the call again
Gave his regards to old Broadway
Gave his number out again

I watched as his penciled name
Faded on the pad
I said goodbye to the best friend
I never really had
Some men are made to move
Me, I’m a wanna be nomad

There’s no country for this man
He’s not coming home again.

What weariness of mind
It gives me just to watch
I want to hold him here
I need my friend so much
Still there’s a great wide world
I hope we stay in touch
As the day arrives goes by

How very strange it is
The mindset he rejects
He’ll write some letters
That he probably will forget to send
No reason better than there’s no reason to stay
No ties that bind could ever make this man a slave

And I said
There’s no country for this man
He’s not coming home again

All of my life waiting
Stars in the night, like dreams for the taking
Closing my eyes and waiting
My lust for adventure is abating

Everybody needs a little problem sometimes
If only, to get up in the morning and fight for your right
Your right to not be lonely and still
I can find better pill, some inspiration in kind, from wanting

To make a better life for me and
These crazy dudes that I love
To fit my hardened heart in side
The house of love

Still everybody needs a little problem sometimes
If only, to have a turn to share your tawdry tales of woe
Wishing I could fly like a bird on the wing
All I would do is sing bop sh’ dooby
Strum it string by sting and good lord keep it grooving, my

When all the cards are stacked up,
And my mother’s on the phone
She says there ain’t no use in dreaming girl
It’s not a dream anymore more, more, no, no

Settle up my tab now, I’ve got to keep moving
I’ve been down this road, enough to know
No one’s gonna save me, just cause I’m behaving
I was the first on line and I’ll be the first to go

Go go go go go
I will be the first to go

I’m going to make a better life for me
And these crazy dudes that I love
I’m going to fit my hardened heart inside
The house of love

Settle up my tab now, I’ve got to keep moving
I’ve been down this road, enough to know
No one’s gonna save me, just cause I’m behaving
No one’s gonna save me, just cause I am behaving
No one’s gonna save me, just cause I’m behaving
I was the first on line and I’ll be the first to go
I will be the first in line, don’t you know

Lyrics Never used;
Tell me, why lie
Why lie about the hard times
In your life,
Crying, crying in the nighttime
Spinning lies of glory, and missing out on why

Because of all these things
I got to know
What winter time is like
in New York
I came last spring now

I’m remembering
The loveliness of wanting

all these things
I was right on time to catch

the Hudson River line
Every stop along the way

was new
But the spring became the fall

You were distant when I called
And by wintertime I wondered if our love was through
With those big brown eyes so sensitive and wise
It’s no surprise I fell in love with you so soon
Now I try to run away

but my heart just won’t obey
And on every street I wander I want you

Because of all these things

I got to know
What wintertime is like

in New York
I try to run away
but my heart just won’t obey
Because of you me
and all these things

She’s waiting and she’s fighting for things beyond her reach
She’s walking in the wind
upon a beach
She says wash away these footprints
take them out to sea
Gather up my fondest and my hard-earned memories
Oh Violet, do you have
a song for me
I’ve been feeling
so much better
can’t you see
Be my pilot
Show me all
that’s left to see
I’ll be by your side
Steady like the tide
Waiting for your company

We wanted to be lovers like sunrise and the sea
We waded in like infants undressed but with dignity
In the swells we swam
Splashing with our feet ’til the waves came crashing
We were wild
but we were free

At the turning point
of misbegotten love
There’s nowhere else
that we could go
I was intoxicated
by your simple smile

You touched my hand
and I was aglow

We crept like church mice
down a corridor
Into an open door
and found a place to kiss
No matter how hard I denied it
tried to fight it
I knew we’d end up here like this

Darling let’s be daring,
because I’m real scared
To let the pieces fall in place,
I like your face, I like your face
You know I really like your face

Better get ready for a change here
This is no infatuation
If it’s wrong to know
I want you like I want you
Then all I know is what I want
is really, really wrong
