He never wrote a song for Linda
he wrote as though he lived alone
he wrote of dreams that end of sad brave men
inventing worlds he never know
but he never wrote a song for Linda
and she was right
On the road so long and lonely
can't believe I'm headed home to stay
God I miss my one and only
a little traveling music please
seems we're always seperating
still she doesn't let me lose my way

When nights are long I think of you
Could you be blue as blue as I am
When lovers pass do you feel blue
And wish you knew where went wrong
I'd like to call but I'm afraid to f
got nobody left to listen to
got no promises to keep
something's gotta be out there
fine a world for me out there
no more livin' half asleep
there's an island in the misty night
little platform
Dancind in the dark
till the tune ends where dancing in the dark
and it soon ends we're waltzing in the wonder of
why we're here
time hurries by were here and gone
looking for the light
of a new
I got the horse right here
his name is Paul Revier
and here's a guy who says if the weather's clear
can do,can do
this guy says the horse can do
can do ,can do
I'm picking valentine
cause on
The day is ending
And the same old pain begins
Each deeper shade of blue
Brings back more of you to miss
I fight the tears again
But I just can't win and
Here comes the night
And here I go ou
Always and always, now
Where there was just one there'll be two
And you won't be alone again
I'm home again
Over and over, now
We'll make up for nights that we missed
And kiss like we once kiss
Sometimes late at night
When the shadows made by street lamps
Cast a darkened silver light
You'll drift into my mind
Reminding me of all I've lost
And all I've yet to find
So many things I know
One time in everybody's life
there is a moment
like the moment we knew
and if you're a fool
you'll let it slip away
sometime in everybody's life
there is a feeling
a feeling so real

It was a hot night
the crowd was hangin' in the neighborhood
everybody there was lookin' so cool
everyone was feelin' so good
now, mister puente
they said he'd be here by ten-thirty
said he was
during the day
she's a full time typist
at the computer
and on the phone
during the day
he's a auto-mechanic
punchin' a time clock
and livin' alone
but at night
in the dark
when the sun
It seems we stood here
and take like this before
we look at each other
in the same old way
but I can't remember
where or when
the clothes you're wearing
are the clothes you wore
