(Wetton/Downes)

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't Cry now that I've found you
Don't Cry take a look around you
Don't Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Don't Cry

I knew I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling

(Wetton)

I saw you standing hand in hand
And now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go the who to see
No one could sympathize
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

And I've become a rolling stone
I don't know where to go or what to call my own
But I can see that black horizon glooming
ever close to view
It's over now it's not my fault
See how this feels for you
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

But I never thought I'd see you
Standing there with him
So don't come crawling back to me

Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now that the Smile Has Left Your Eyes
Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now it's too late you realized

(Wetton/Downes)

Plain evil, I know what's on your mind
Never say you're leaving me behind
No trouble; get that from the start
You know the cost of loving is your heart

I would never leave you
I would never go
I would never leave you
Never in a million, never in a million
Never In A Million Years

Pure pleasure, the love that's in your eyes
You never give me feelings in disguise
Same fever, it comes on all the time
Always lets me know what's on my mind

Live angel, you come to me and cry
Like tears of joy come raining from the sky
I'd never leave you, you knew that from the start
I'll give it to you now straight from the heart

I would never leave you
Never In A Million Years
I would never leave you

(Wetton/Downes)

Walking through the snow kicking my heels
Seems that sunlight never felt so good before
Bet you really don't know how it feels
I don't have to answer to no one no more
And better I've never felt
Nothing to show, but nothing to lose,
I'm on my own

Cast your mind back not so long ago
I was always busy playing by the rules
Bet you thought I really didn't know
You were double dealing, now you're back at school
Something you didn't learn
Faith in myself
Gives me the strength to carry on

I'll do what I want to anyway
I'll do what I want and I'll do it in
My Own Time

Don't give that same old pack of lies
I'll tell you the story how it really is
You think you always had me under ties
Someone better tell you that the table's turned
Getting your fingers burned, how does it feel?
Now it's for real this is the deal

I'll do what I want to anyway
I'll do what I want and I'll do it in
My Own Time is on my side again
And one thing I intend

(Wetton/Downes)

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I can't forget
And I know, I know The Heat Goes On

I know that The Heat Goes On
I know that The Heat Goes On

You play tight, you're nobody's fool
You're not cold, but I know that you're cool
Look at you, I know The Heat Goes On

Now tell me, with your hand on you're heart
That you knew, you were right from the start
And you're sure, you felt it all along

You know that The Heat Goes On
You know that The Heat Goes On

Times to decide, times that I've lied
Problems will never be solved
Which way is wrong, which could be right?
This heat will always go on

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I'll never forget

(Wetton/Downes)

I don't want to see your picture
On a faded video
I don't want to turn the clock back
To the way it used to go

Can you give me any reasons
Why I made this sacrifice?
When you thought you walked on water
You were skating on thin ice

'Cause we don't see Eye To Eye
'Cause we don't see Eye To Eye

I don't want to be a memory
Just another anglophile
I would never learn your language
Could it be there's no more time?

Is there any reason talking
'Bout your crazy point of view?
You can't even try to answer
The questions that I put to you

'Cause we don't see Eye To Eye

(Wetton/Downes)

Standing alone in solitude
Holding your head in your hands
Tears play like rain on your fingertips
Who but yourself is to blame?
How could I offer sympathy?
When all I feel is pure rejection

I was the first one to really know your name
And you were the first one for me
But everyone knew but me
You were the first one to ever let me down
And I was just The Last To Know

I was the fool who trusted you
No evil thoughts in my mind
When I saw you going out with him

(Wetton/Downes)

This evening really came as some surprise
It showed me just how little faith
I think back when you couldn't criticize
You sure were glad to see my face

True Colors, giving away your lies
True Colors, seeing them in your eyes
True Colors, giving away your lies
True Colors, seeing them in your eyes, eyes

For you the tables turned full circle now
And all those people you call friends
See who defends you when you're down again
Don't count on money-spinners then

True Colors, maybe you'll see them then
True Colors, twisting the knife again
True Colors, maybe you'll see them then
True Colors, twisting the knife again

You did what you wanted to do
I lived to fight another day
I know that I want you to do

(Wetton/Downes)

As far as the eye could see
From the horizon to infinity
Static forces down the line
Connecting voices talking rhymes

Can't decode nor can define
The signal's perfect indicates a sign

Midnight Sun
Guiding light
Take the eye
Go skimming
Across the sky

As far as the eye could see
Communications were all down
Connecting voices in the air
New formations moving sound
Then came what I could not explain

(Wetton/Downes)

What on earth are you doing here, in the western world?
Another situation yeah you're a different girl
You have lived your life dreaming you were someone else
Succeeding's believing in yourself

Open Your Eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open Your Eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you

You have spent your days trying something new
You have looked at magazine girls wishing that they were you
Do you see in photographs an angel that once was you?
Does she tell you stories that are true?

If I could stand with you right now and speak my mind
I would tell you no lies
I would shoot straight between the eyes

You have stared a thousand times right into the lens
Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense?
Your beauty's eternal so don't just pretend

(Wetton/Downes)

All of the nights when the light was low and day seemed so far away
Darkness was endless and I kept seeing ghosts turn in shades of grey
I wanted to see things just the way they used to be
Don't want those shadows hanging over me

Daylight, I wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around

Hours and hours in towers on the back road of tragedy
Voices are calling and fingers come on crawling all over me
Then when I sit up and my hands begin to shake
Suddenly there I see the dawn break
