LYRICS

Sometime Somewhere

If my luck were to turn like a wheel
Where would I find you?
Where would I find you?
If the wheel was the wheel of a truck
Where would I drive you?
Where would I drive you?

Would you talk to me on the street?
Would you talk to me when we meet?

Sometime somewhere
Sometime somewhere

If the sun were to break through the clouds
Where would I meet you?
Where would I meet you?
If the clouds were to sing it out loud
Where would I see you?
Where would I see you?

Would you talk to me in the park?
Would you talk to me in the dark?

Sometime somewhere
Sometime somewhere

Desire is a bird
It’s flying like a word
That everybody’s heard
Except you

To dream is not a crime
It frees the hand of time
And doesn’t cost a dime
Do you dream too?

Sometime somewhere
Sometime somewhere

If a year were the length of my arm
Where would I reach you?
Where would I reach you?
If my arm were gentle and sure
Where could I catch you?
Where could I catch you?

Would you talk to me in the park?
Would you talk to me in the dark?
Would you talk to me on the street?
Would you talk to me when we meet?
Would you talk to me on the phone?
Would you talk to me all alone?

Sometime somewhere
Sometime somewhere

Would you talk to me?
Would you talk to me?
Would you talk to me?
Would you talk to me?

She’s Not There

She’s not here
Neither am I
She’s not here
Neither am I
She’s not here
Neither am I

You vanish me
You banish me
Like the stars at dawn

You’re burnin’ me
Return to me
With the sweet kiss of a god

She’s not here
Neither am I
She’s not here
Neither am I
She’s not here
Neither am I

I can’t forget
You when I sleep
Not when I laugh or cry
The days file in
The days file out
Like hostages of the sky

She’s not here she’s not here
She’s not here she’s not here
She’s not here
Neither am I neither am I

Once upon a time
I looked in the mirror
I saw you were mine
Once upon
Once upon a time

She’s not here
Neither am I
She’s not here
Neither am I
She’s not here
She’s not here

Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time

Windmills on the Moon

The town of Manhattan is losing its leaves
Autumn was summer, now autumn grieves
The skies of the city were blue as your eyes
What could all those towers of glass prophesize?

Windmills on the moon
Windmills on the moon

Winter rode in on the five o’clock train
The drivers and doormen showed signs of strain
The city resigned – it was under review
The snow piled up on Park Avenue

Windmills on the moon
Windmills on the moon

And if you’re stranded there too
Give a last wave to the windmills on the moon

The bars in the Battery were sparkling and gay
To bandy the word in an old-fashioned way
The words of a song have no home without their tune
Like lost lands, windmills on the moon.

Windmills on the moon
Windmills on the moon
Windmills on the moon

My Mournful Bride

When I’m alone with you
No one else beside
When we’re out for a drink
When we’re out for a drive

When I’m alone with you
On a country mile
I like your pretty hair
I love your lonesome smile

Don’t you want me baby, when I’m alone with you?
(Don’t you want me? Don’t you want me?)
Don’t you want me baby, when I’m alone with you?

When I’m alone with you
Ain’t nothing to hide
Just a shot of swing and a fat trombone
My mournful bride

When I’m alone with you
Alone as I can be
With that faraway look
And your skeleton key

Don’t you want me baby, when I’m alone with you?
(Don’t you want me? Don’t you want me?)
Don’t you want me baby, when I’m alone with you?

When I’m alone with you
Like Bonnie and Clyde
No police please no red lights
My mournful bride
(Don’t you want me?)
My mournful bride
(Don’t you want me?)
My mournful bride
(Don’t you want me?)

Reach Out (Touch the Divine)

You can reach down from Heaven
You can reach up from Hell

You gotta reach out
Touch the divine
You gotta reach out
Touch the divine

You can outlaw the Scriptures
Moses, Mohammed, and Jesus Christ
They say the price of belief is
More than the gold of a Nazi heist

You gotta reach out
Touch the divine
You gotta reach out
Touch the divine

Cuz there’s no place under the sun
No place you can run
And it’s dark in every cave
No one’s going to save you

Have you heard the word of the devil
On your TV or in your head?
If you feel burnt out on evil
Try listening to the wind instead

You gotta reach out
Touch the divine
Yeah reach out
Touch the divine

Cuz there’s no place under the sun
No place you can run
And it’s dark in every cave
No one’s going to save you

Reach out
Touch the divine
Yeah reach out
Touch the divine
You gotta reach out
Touch the divine
Yeah reach out
Touch the divine
You gotta reach out

Penguin

Penguin, how did you get here, across the ice?
Penguin, how did you get here, from what horizon?

Penguin, out of the distance, to parts unknown
Penguin, was your persistence, like my own?

Was it hard for you?
Was it hard for you to do?
Was it cold for you?
Was it cold for you too?

Show me, miracle diver, the sky below
Tell me, plucky survivor, the way you go

Summer, sun-castled summer, arrayed in light
Winter, army of winter, crown of night

Was it hard for you?
Was it hard for you to do?
Was it cold for you?
Was it cold for you too?

Mile after mile
Wind in your face
Sun, sky, stars, wind, snow

Penguin, how do the stars shine, across the ice?
Penguin, under the moonshine, a strange device

Was it hard for you?
Was it hard for you to do?
Was it cold for you?
Was it cold for you too?

It Doesn’t Matter Much to Me

I knew you in high school
Number one in your class
You were the enthusiastic one
Who had his foot on the gas

It doesn’t matter much to me
It doesn’t matter much to me

You got a cigarette?

I saw you work up the crowd
Like apes on a leash
You climbed up on a pillar of cloud
Or was it hashish?

It doesn’t matter much to me
It doesn’t matter much to me

You want to make a bet?

You got caught in a turnstile
Had to miss your train
I guess you lost your ticket
Where would you find it again?

It doesn’t matter much

Hooray for all the prize students!
They made you Lord of the Land
Because you show sense and prudence
Inside the chain of command

It doesn’t matter much to me
It doesn’t matter much to me

You got a private jet?

It doesn’t matter much to me
It doesn’t matter much to me

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

You Win

You win
You win

The bombs you drop blow my mind
My defenses are blind
You rattle all my radar!

You win
You win
You win the war between you and me and you

Did my intelligence fail?
Or were you checking my mail?
I put my faith in strangers!

You win
You win
You win the war between you and me and you

That girl’s a genius
You can tell by the way she walks
Shuffling like a goddess
While the face of the front row gawks

I couldn’t shoot down your drones
So I sent in my clones
Conditional surrender!

You win
You win
You win the war between you and me and you
You win
You win
You win the war between you and me and you and me and you and me and you

The Last Day of Your Love

O my child I loved you so
Grief is hard and healing slow
The day is done
And now you’re gone

Spinning from the blow
Of watching you go
Darling it hit like a flood
If the message is plain
I’m like a weathervane
I knew it in my blood

Last day of your love
Last day of your love
You became a stranger to me

It was the last day of your love
Last day of your love
Of your love of your love

O darling the weight of it all
O darling the weight of it all
And now you slip from my hand like
A gemstone and now you’re gone

Burning like the sun
Who sees the full moon
Turning from love like a limit
I burned my sense to ash
Wore my grief like a lash
You said I had to live it

Last day of your love
Last day of your love
You became a stranger to me

It was the last day of your love
Last day of your love
Of your love of your love

O darling the weight of it all
O darling the weight of it all
And now you slip from my hand like
A gemstone and now you’re gone

Where Does the River Lead?

Where does the river lead?
Who’s gone there before?
We can find the ford
We can cross with our cattle
We can ride in the saddle

Now tell me mama

Where does the river lead?
What does the road say?
I asked a fellow crow
To help me find my way

The flowing light
(Please come with me)
So dark and bright
(Come follow me)
Two hand-in-hand
Enough of the tears in this land

Where does the river lead?
Why do the stars stare?
What does the sea show?
Can we get there?
I only want to know

Now tell me mama

Where does the river lead?
Where does the river lead?
Where does the river lead?
