All I'm After Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

All I'm after is to be on your winning side 

All I need is to be turning back the tide 

'Cause I care too much for the life that I lead 

What you're thinking could be anybody's guess 

All I'm after is the sun and summer nights 

By the seashore, don't want no more neon lights 

Just the sand and the sky as the hours roll by 

Ain't it funny, how the world seems to be back there in my dreams 

All I see is my reflection in your wild and winsome ways 

Ain't it funny, life feels different every day 

All I'm after is to be the flame in your tattoo 

Be the one girl who can thrill me through and through 

This is just a guess but I must confess it feels better being certain 

Please excuse my truthfulness 

What I'm seeing's worth believing 

When you thrill me like you do 

So you wonder why my feelings never fade 

I think I got it made 

In the evening when the rain begins to fall 

That's when I wonder if you think of me at all 

But you sound so sad, in your own special way 

Ain't it funny, life feels different with each new passing day 

All I need is my reflection in your wild and windswept ways 

Ain't it funny how life changes every day
