Clock strikes eight up on a Monday
Got to bed at half past five
Can’t remember Saturday or Sunday
But life is grand
And doesn’t it feel good to be alive when you’re
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
Paying for food through bricks and mortar
Biding my time trying to have some fun
Half past ten I drink a little water
Time stands still
I’ve seen my future slip through my hands
Watched the wind whip through desert sands
Then I remember I’m no ordinary man and I’m
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
It’s been years since I was a builder
Working with my head and hands
Dreams of crystal glass and silver
Go flashing past
So tantalizing the things that I’ve seen
I know you know exactly what I mean
Can never look back to where you’ve been when you’re
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
Clock strikes eight up on a Monday
Got to bed at half past five
Can’t remember Saturday or Sunday
But life is grand
Doesn’t it feel good to be alive
To laugh until the tears roll from your eyes
I’ll drink to your health from five miles high and I’m
Going somewhere
Going somewhere
Water Song
This boy and girl were lovers
They came from different towns
Now they both live in the same one
They see each other round
He saw her at the rose bowl
Just the other day
She showed him what she bought there
Then they struggled for what to say
They say we’re made mostly of water
So how come we can’t find the sea
They say true love creeps up on you slowly
Oh how blind some people can be
This boy and girl had troubles
Lasted fifteen rounds
They both threw in the towel
No-one took the crown
Time it tends to pass us
As we look the other way
Now he sells insurance
And she’s in a non union play
Oh how I wish we were like water
We’d float on down into the sea
If you find true love at your door knocking
Invite her in make her some tea
This boy and girl were lovers
They came from different towns
Now they both live in the same one
They see each other round
They say we’re made mostly of water
So how come we can’t find the sea
They say true love creeps up on you slowly
Oh how blind some people can be
Maggie
When I first set eyes on you
First you beat me up then you kissed me too
We’d throw stones into the sea
There were no others then just you and me
Across the bridge and down the lane
I knew I loved you then you said you did the same
Oh Maggie, what have you done?
I should have seen it coming, and to your side I’d run
Oh Maggie, come to me tonight
I will wait up for you make sure you’re alright
I miss you
You taught me how to sink or swim
When I was scared that day, you just pushed me in
And when nobody was around
You let me kiss you then, and there the love I found
I said I’d never let you go
You just smiled at me how was I to know
Oh Maggie, what am I to do?
How can I live with only memories of you
Oh Maggie, tell me the truth
When your ship was sinking, did you think it through
I miss you
You were the fountain of my youth
And when I fumbled you showed me what to do
And when we were both seventeen
You left me standing there but you were never mean
And when I saw you out with him
He looked much older and you looked very thin
I hadn’t heard from you in years
And then your mama called she couldn’t speak for tears
She said you left me a note
Inside my pocket burns with these words you wrote
Hey darling boy don’t you cry for me
I am forever yours and now that I am free
We’ll be together throw stones into the sea
There’ll be no others then just you and me
I miss you
Maggie’s gone
I think you came the other night
You stroked my brow your eyes were full of light
It may have only been a dream
But I will walk with you to places I never have been
Maggie’s gone
I Don't Know Why
I don’t know why
Why you had to leave me
And I don’t know why
You said goodbye
Only if I try
Can I feel the earth beneath me
And as days go by
I come alive
The fall of your hair the feel of your skin and
The smile on your face as you took me in
Now I lie and stare at the sky still I wonder why
I don’t know why
You said that you’d release me
No matter how I try
I still feel you
I watched a falling leaf
Drifting down towards me
Carried by the wind
It disappeared
I sat in disbelief
At what had become of me
And as the day grew dark
I rose to go
As I walked along
I thought I heard you call me
Alas I was alone
So I went home
The fall of your hair the feel of your skin
The smile on your face as you took me in
Now I lie no longer cry but still I wonder why
I don’t know why
You were taken from me
I cannot forget or say goodbye
