My brave, my brave, my brave face I've been living in styleUnaccustomed as I amTo the luxury lifeI've been hitting the townAnd it didn't hit back I've been doing the roundsUnaccustomed as I amTo the time on my handsNow I don't have to tell anybodyWhen I'm going to get back Ever since you went awayI've had this sentimental inclinationNot to change a single thingAs I pull the sheet back on the bedI want to go bury my headIn your pillow Now that I'm alone againI can't stop breaking down againThe simplest things set me off againAnd take me to that place Where I can't find my brave faceWhere I can't find my brave faceMy brave, my brave, my brave faceMy brave face I've been living a lieUnaccustomed as I amTo the work of the housewifeI've been breaking upDirty dishes and throwing them away Ever since you left I have been trying toCompose a "Baby, will you please come home" noteMeant for youAs I clear away another untouched TV dinnerFrom the table I laid for two Now that I'm alone againI can't stop breaking down againThe simplest things set me off againAnd take me to that place Where I can't find my brave faceWhere I can't find my brave faceMy brave, my brave, my brave faceMy brave face

What is this thing in lifeThat persuades me to spend time away from you?If you can answer this, you can have the moon.This is the place to be,Anyway you can see there's a lovely view.Why are there always so many other things to do? Distractions,Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,When I'm alone, I think of youAnd the life we'd lead if we could only be freeFrom these distractions.Uh, uh, uh, uh. The postman's at the door,While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall.Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear - uh-uh -.I want to be with you,Tell me what I can do, nothing is too small,Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all. Distractions,Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,When I'm alone, I think of youAnd the things we'd do if we could only be throughWith these distractions. Ah -Ah - I'll find a peaceful placeFar away from the noise of a busy day.Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars. Distractions,Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,When I'm alone, I think of youAnd the things we'd do if we could only be throughWith these distractions,Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,When I'm alone, I think of youAnd the life we'd lead if we could only be freeFrom these distractions

Give me your hand,I'd like to shake it,I want to show you I'm your friend.You'll understand,If I can make it clear,It's all that matters in the end.Put it there,If it weights a ton,That's what a father says to his young son.I don't care,If it weights a ton,As long as you and I are here, put it there.Long as you and I are here, put it thereIf there's a fight,I'd like to fix it,I hate to see things go so wrong.The darkest night,And all it's mixed emotions,Are getting lighter sing along.Put it there,If it weights a ton,That's what a father says to his young son.I don't care,If it weights a ton,As long as you and I are here, put it there.Long as you and I are here, put it there.

(Well) You've Got Me Dancing In A Figure Of Eight, Don't Know If I'm Coming Or Going, I'm Early Or Late. Round And Round The Ring I Go, I Want To Know, I Want To Know, Why Can't We Travel A Continuous Line? Make Love Reliable Convenant All The Time. Up And Down The Hills I Go, I Got To Know, I Got To Know. Is Is Better To Love Another Than To Go Go For A Walk In The Dark? Is It Better To Love Than To Give In To Hate? Yeah We'd Better Take Good Care Of Each Other Avoid Slipping Back Off The Straight And Narrow, It's Better By Far Than Getting Stuck In A Figure Of Eight. (Well) Figure It Out For Yourself Little Girl, It Don't Go Nowhere At All, It's Nothing More Than A Tape Loop In A Big Dance Hall. You've Got Me Running ... You've Got Me Running ...

Did I Ever Take You In My Arms, Look You In The Eye, Tell You That I Do, Did I Ever Open Up My Heart And Let You Look Inside. If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting For A Better Moment That Didn't Come. There Never Could Be A Better Moment Than This One, This One. The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean, A God Is Riding Upon His Back, How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow Fade This One To Black. Did I Ever Touch You On The Cheek Say That You Were Mine, Thank You For The Smile, Did I Ever Knock Upon Your Door And Try To Get Inside? If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting For A Better Moment That Didn't Come. There Never Could Be A Better Moment Than This One, This One. The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean, A God Is Riding Upon His Back, How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow Fade This Swan To Black. What Opportunities Did We Allow To Flow By Feeling Like Like The Timing Wasn't Quite Right? What Kind Of Magic Might Have Worked If We Had Stayed Calm, Couldn't I Have Given You A Better Life? Did You Ever Take Me In Your Arms, Look Me In The Eye, Tell Me That You Do? Did I Ever Open Up My Heart, Let You Look Inside? If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting For A Better Moment That Didn't Come. There Never Could Be A Better Moment Than This One, This One. The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean, A God Is Riding Upon His Back, How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow Fade This Swan To Black.

Burn The Midnight Lamp Down Until The Dawn, I'll Keep Watch Until I'm Sure Your Coming Home. Shadows Play And Flicker On The Bedroom Wall They Turn Into A Bad Dream Overnight, Something Could Be Terribly Wrong. Don't Be Careless Love, Don't Be Careless Love, Don't Be, Don't Be Careless. In My Dream You're Running Nowhere Every Step You've Taken Turns To Glue, Walking Down A Spiral Staircase Failing Through, Failing Through, Don't Be Careless Love, Be Careless Love. The Lamp Burns Down And Out I'm Getting Pretty Tired Of This, I Feel So Bad Something Might Be Going Amiss, I Won't Be There So Look Out For Yourself You're Getting In Deep Whatever You Do, Don't Let Me Go Back To Sleep, Don't Be Careless Love, Don't Be Careless Love, Don't Be, Don't Be Careless. Saw Your Face In The Morning Paper, Saw Your Body Rolled Up In A Rug Chopped Up Into Two Little Pieces By Some Thug, Don't Be Careless Love, Be Careless Love. But In The Morning Light When I Wake Up Again You're By My Side And That's The Way It's Always Been, But In The Dark Your Mind Plays Funny Tricks On You, Your Mind Plays Funny Tricks On You, Your Mind Plays Funny Tricks On You, Don't Be Careless Love.

I Feel Such Sorrow, I Feel Such Shame. I Know I Won't Arrive On Time Before Whatever Out There Is Gone. What Can I Do, That Day Is Done. It's Just A Promise, That I Made I Said I'd Walk In Her Parade. Hot Scalding Tears I Thought Would Flow. Still In My Heart They'll Never Show. That Day Is Done, That Day Is Done, You Know Where I've Gone, I Won't Be Coming Back That Day Is Done. Well I Recall, The Time And Place When They Announced Her Precious Face. I Thought At Once My Heart Would Burst, Still, Every Time Is Like The First. There Was Applause When She Stepped Up. I Wished That I Could Interrupt I Made No Sign, I Made No Sound I Know I Must Stay Underground. That Day Is Done, That Day Is Done. You Know Where I've Gone,I Won't Be Coming Back, That Day Is Done. That's Why She Walks, Or So They Say. She Always Knew Just What I Needed Now If She Would, Just Look My Way One Time Before They Proceed. She Sprinkles Flowers In The Dirt That's When A Thrill Becomes A Hurt, I Know I'll Never See Her Face. She Walks Away From My Resting Place. That Day Is Done, That Day Is Done. You Know Where I've Gone, I Won't Be Coming Back, That Day Is Done.
