- All Cried Out - Alf 1984
You took your time to come back this time
The grass has grown under your feet
In your absence I changed my mind
And someone else is sitting in your seat
I know that I said there'd be no one else
I know that I said I'd be true
But baby, I've burned out cupid's arrow
- Anytime at All
Anytime at all, I would change my life for you
Happiness, it was where you are
Anytime at all, I would choose to stay with you
Togetherness is not so far, I love you so
That is why and it's why
I'm ready to sustain the pleasure and the pain
I want all the crazy times with you my love
- Filigree
I fell into a cinema
Watching pictures in a dream
Shifting the fidget into still
Nine other people took their leave
No humping bones or filigree
Grace and nature mimicry
All but took me to my knees
- Find Me
Is your heart so heavy
That it weighs you down
So all you have is time
Don't turn away
We have both seen darker days
And there's always a light that shines
[Do you feel like] all your hopes are a long way gone
- Footsteps
It won't be clean and easy
There's more to carry than a case or two
I come with a history
That I won't forget in a life with you
This man's been true to me
And I didn't come by him easy
Shame, shame crying shame
- Home
Does no one here have any place to go?
Can there be time for such reclining
In your social to and fro
Have you no paramour
No dogs to walk
No early morning shift
That calls you like a whore and
Begs you make it swift?
- Hometime
Gone is the last stain of ink from the sky
Somebody's talking and won't tell you why
So you ask them to stay when you want them to fly
And you try not to think of tomorrow's goodbye
Hometime hometime
Oh how I long to see a friend of mine
Somewhere he's still waiting
Somewhere his heart's saying
- Hoodoo
Well, now everyone says you've got a heart of gold
Uh, yeah it's one of those things being brought and sold
Now it's back on the market I've been told
Hoodoo, you
Well I rue the day I ever saw your face
(Thank you God for the day I saw his face)
Even more the day I opened up my place
- La Chanson Des Vieux Amants
Bien sûr nous eûmes des orages vingt ans d'amour see'est l'amour fol
Mille fois tu pris ton bagage mille fois je pris mon envol
Et chaque meuble se souvient dans cette chambre sans berceau
Des éclats des vieilles tempêtes plus rien ne ressemblait à rien
Tu avais perdu le goût de l'eau et moi celui de la conquête.
Mais mon amour, mon doux mon tendre mon merveilleux amour
De l'aube claire jusqu'à la fin do jour, je t'aime encore tu sais je t'aime.
Moi je sais tous tes sortilèges, tu sais tous mes envoûtements
- Love Reign Supreme
"Love Reign Supreme"
Do you keep for a relic
Every ticket in your pocket
For a time you need reminding of
The webbing and the binding
Will you cherish every barb that caught you
- Ode to Boy II
When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks
I watch his lips
When he drives I love to watch his hands
White, smooth, almost feminine
Almost American
- Only You
Looking from the window above
Its like a story of love
Can you hear me?
I came back only yesterday
Moving farther away
Want you near me
[Chorus:]
- Right as Rain
If you can't be happy with me
Be unhappy with me
Stay unhappy with me
If you can't find peace in my arms
Find this-ease in my arms
As you please with my arms
Go, I'll fight you every step of the way
- Say It
I have come to a time
When I must really decide
Love you gave so complete
I want you back
Hear me when I call
Hold me like before
Play the changing forms
- Ski
No easy about it
Born to a mountain slide
You're gonna learn to take a dive
No easy about it
I won't tell you not to need it
'cause you don't want no chatter now
Wears you down just to sit it out
And you don't want to hear a thing about
- Sleep Like Breathing
Every word's so
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
When the slowness of the day is gone
Leaving shadow-like feelings to depend upon
Every word's so
- This House
Whose sticky hands are these?
And what is this empty place
I could be happily lost but for your face
Here stands an empty house
That used to be full of life
Now it's home for no one and his wife
It's a hovel and
Who can take your place?
- To Work On You
Have no faith
Believe me, don't believe in me
I'm gonna let you down
You make it so very easy
He's waiting for me
That's the way I ever want it to be
It's always been the same
Yes it has, do you see. Wanna be where I belong
- Weak In The Presence Of Beauty
Oh, it's a long time since I saw you
Well, you know how time can fly
It seems like yesterday, we were lovers
Now we pass each other by
But if we're left alone tonight
Don't ask me to hold you tight
I go weak
- When I Was Your Girl
When I was your girl
I didn't know that I would
end where you begin
more beautiful in your skin
No matter of regret
this loosening curl
Teasing you out
When I was your girl
- Whispering Your Name
When she said that you were through
I thought that there was nothing that I could d
Just because she ran right here
Doesn't mean I interfered
Now I'm wondering of we can feel the same
'Cause she keeps whispering your name
She keeps on whispering your name
Like she's just waiting
