Just why I stayed around when all. I found was a heartache. I believed your every word. Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make. But why did it take so long.
I never believed in things that I couldn't see. I said if I can't feel it then how can it be. No, no magic could happen to me. And then I saw you. . I couldn't believe it, you took my heart.
Here I am, there you are. Who would believe we could come this far. We're beneath this magic moon. The ocean plays it's own sweet tune. The summer breeze it whispers low.
You must be lost in a faraway land. I searched forever your footprints in the sand. I feel you need me, I have to answer. That desperate call that I do not understand.
Yesterday she stood here with me. I kissed her mouth, I had her in my hands. That kind of love, it could last forever. And together we made our plans.
I've been in love, girl, so many times before. They'd love me and leave me, I thought I knew the score. I'd fall in love no more. I was walking in shadows then, my life a lonely road.
Just to think I had her in my hands. To think we made our plans. Somehow it feels just like a dream. . For I played it so darn cool. Is there a bigger fool.
Here we are again. Two lovers lost in a maze. So many roads we could go down. So many ways we could go wrong. . You think we should part. Both go our own separate ways.
When you feel down and you've nobody to turn to. When you feel you're about to give up. The sun goes down and darkness surrounds you. And it's runnin' dry in your lovin' cup.
Night ain't a friend. It's black and so still. It waits like a cat. Then moves in for the kill. It casts it's shadows high on the wall. It's givin' me no peace at all.
I surrender to your heart babe. Do anything that you want me to do. Please be tender I'm in your hands girl. This is a feeling I never knew. . You know I tried to make it on my own.
I see it in your eyes that I've been played right out. I see through your disguise I see what about. Why don't you come right out and say. That you'll be leaving any day.
It's been a year since I was here. On the street I'm just passing my time away. To the left and to the right a town of stone grows to the sky. And it's out of sight in a fading light here I am again in the city.
(chuck berry). . Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabama. I'm workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin hammer. I gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes.
I call you up, you pick up. You call my bluff, on the cards of love. You hold so close your hands to your chest. I can't read your eyes, but I confess.
(Russ Ballard). Ackee Music, Inc. ASCAP. . It could never be. Someone like you could part from me. You the open seas,. me with my long hair and my jeans..
(R. Ballard). Ackee Music, Inc. ASCAP. . So near to surrender. So near to an end. So near to surrender. The smile is to pretend.. . Oh you might think your small.
(Russ Ballard). . Load up your bullets. Shot me through the head. Gasp from where your standing. You might think I'm dead. When I hit the ground. Look at me bleed.
(Russ Ballard). . And when I need you, I close my eyes. Then everything, never world be nice. Well it's all hidden in my head.. . And in the night when the hurt is deep.
It was the summer of sixty-four. . we ran the streets on to the shore. . And in every game we played we knew we had it made. Like no other time before..
