Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

Midnight on a southern highway
Don't know if I'm going the right way
I haven't seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since I've seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
I've got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
I'm drivin' as fast as I can
And you said you'd wait for me
chorus :
Goin' home
Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my family
Goin' home
And I hope that they're still waitin' there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
You're the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
I'm a man in emotion
With only one compulsion
I've got to follow these dreams inside my heart
I'm not looking for a fight
No one's wrong and no one's right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
I'm doin' the best that I can
And you said you'd wait for me
chorus :
Goin' home
Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin' home
And I hope that it's still waitin' there for me
I thought you'd might understand
I'm drivin'as fast as I can
And you said you'd wait for me
chorus :
Goin' home
Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my family
Goin' home
And I hope that they're still waiting there for me
Going home
Going home
Yeah, baby

It's been forty days and nights
Since I heard you
Girl, I cannot bring myself
To ask you why
It's a fact that your not here
I ain't accusing you
I only seek the simple answer from the sky

chorus :
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man

Lay me down, lay me down
In your heaven
I can really see
Everything quite clear
I can almost reach your hand
Enough to touch you
Girl, I'll have you safe and sound within a year

chorus :
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man

It's been forty days and nights
Since I heard you
Girl, I cannot bring myself
To ask you why
It's a fact that your not here
I ain't accusing you
I only seek the simple
answer from the sky

chorus :
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man

Well, there's a light in your eyes
That's guiding my way to your doorstep
And your voice called my name
With a sound that I've never known
I was a kid in a comicbook-world looking for answers
When out of the darkness she came

Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door

chorus :
Last night
You turned a frightened little boy into a man without shame
Last night
We tore the hands off a clock and it read just the same
Last night
I had a crazy little dream and you turned it all around
Last Night
We took a chance, we shook it up, and now the world's upside down

All the fire in your heart
And the heat of your touch I'll remember
And you're dancing like a flame
Perfection in motion
It was the masterpiece from the start
Only you and I could have rendered
And I'll never be the same

I'm a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door

chorus

Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't matter if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
'Cause I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door

chorus

Last night...

Stop, taking for granted
I am the one who's wrong
You might be surprised
Time standin' still - seems like we don't belong
You'll realize
Start giving to me all you can
Stop telling me girl just where I stand

chorus :
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word

Life turns around
Time not to look away
And face what you see
Truth shows itself - watch everything you say
When you're talking to me
You find yourself just in time
No don't be afraid of what you'll find on the way

chorus :
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word

It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word

chorus :
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
No you can't say it all in one word...

She know you bad
You don't sing songs of love
She treats you right, she treats you like a web of love
You know who's of the heart, her notions of societies
You belong to know and just like our sophiaties

chorus :
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, to see what you want to see
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, she'll paint you with the modern eyes

What you look for in people is not hard to recognize
Black man, white man, short man
They're all the same in size
You breath the air, you feel the sea and the sand and the skies
When nighttime comes you blind men with modern eyes

chorus

She'll paint you with the hupskin on
She'll paint you with the fire in your eyes
She'll paint you with the modern eyes

chorus

Hello, girl
You're good to see
Love your face shinin' down on me
How's it feel with the warm winds blowin'

Hello, girl
You're good to know.
Love your smile, I love your glow
How's it feel with the warm winds blowin'

chorus :
Must have touched the right part of me
The sun in your eyes
You came running in from the start
Connected all the right numbers
In the picture you were painting of me

Listen girl
I can't let go
The time is right, I have to know
What's it like, when the fire is burning

chorus (x 3)

Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day

chorus :
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Give me your answer as fast as you can
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Don't you know I really love you

Here's my life, it's yours today
Help me chase the blues away

chorus

Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day

chorus (x 2)

Been thinking 'bout you all night
Guess you got me in a spell
But I think that I'l be all right
Even if I don't get well

chorus :
Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

I can still remember
What you told me with your eyes
One kiss, now it's down to this
Guess it's time you realized

chorus (x 3)

Don't you know that the girl left a long time ago
And I find that she took half the blood that I own
And it pains me to think about wasting way the years
So I'll just wash this dirty whiskey glass with my tears

Love is a man's world (x 3)

It's a crime the way we've been treatin' each other
And a maze in between the real me and the lover
I'm tired of believing that I lost all my senses
I never though my imaginary dream would be so expensive

Love is a man's world (x 3)

Love is a man's world...

Everybody's moving way too fast
Before you blink you better find out who's in your path
Pressure's building up on every side
In my heart I know that I've got nothing to hide
What makes you think that you're the only one
Now I know my troubles have just begun

chorus :
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, I know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide

You never know what the night could bring
Every moment all the angels speaking to sing
Why worry just to save your pride
And all the answers are buried so deep inside
Doesn't take a crystal ball to see the truth
Gonna take a miracle to see this thing through

chorus:
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, I know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide

I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, I know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide

chorus :
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, I know you're watching me
I'm on the run, and you can't say that I haven't tried

I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, I know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

chorus :
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

chorus

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa (x 2)
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
