Tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge

Out of my head waiting for you to call
I don't ever get lonely
I guess in this case I'm just feeling miserable
It's not the same since you told me

Never have felt like this before
Consider the chance I take
I never kept my eyes on the door
I'm risking everything

I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge

I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking tear's edge

Obviously your number is on her wall
And she don't ever get lonely
Your definitely the one that she wants to call
She's got eyes for you only

You carry the moment in your heart
Consider the price you'll pay
This doesn't have to be the start
Or ending of anything

I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge

I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking tear's edge

Now she wants you back again
Now she wants you back

Never have felt like this before
Consider the chance I take
I never kept my eyes on the door
I'm risking everything

I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge

I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking tear's edge

I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
Try walking tear's edge

I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge

I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking

Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge

. . .


Ah everybody trying to use a piece of the heart
But we strain the thread and it tears apart
So many people trying and they just can't stop
Living for tomorrow, trying to beat the clock

And the trying to change the cycle going round and round
But the ink's run dry and the book ain't bound
You say, give me some direction 'cause I lost my way
But they don't make maps for the world we made

Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Now I'm running circles just to catch a view
But it seemed like love that's the way with you
So many people trying, they just can't see
That a captured heart doesn't want to be free

Maybe we can find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Living on memories
Living on memories

(Collin Ellingson/Kim Carnes)

Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she's seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before

Said I can't believe
It's been five long years
Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again

He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
The walked the wire of passion
So alive

It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again

We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again

. . .


(Kim Carnes)

A familiar story
A sad affair of the heart
We spend all this time
Trying to find
The glow in the dark

Gentle changes
The eyes still look the same
A familiar heartbeat
I go weak
When you walk in

I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
And wonder why
We lie broken in two

I was dreamin'
You were here with me
And through a open window
We could look through
Straight to the sea

I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
And wonder why
We lie broken in two

And if I lose you now
Lose you now

. . .


I'm breaking in pieces and my soul is caving in
There's a whole in the sky and we can't fill it in
There's a place in our hearts full of love for all men
Just have to find it again

Look through children's eyes try to tell them why
There's oil across the water and holes across the sky
Look through children's eyes, hear the ocean cry
Hear the forest fall in ashes from the sky

Honey you've not known enough to think it all
But here in your lifetime this is off the wall
We can save tomorrow for the children left behind
Let us all save the earth together

Look through children's eyes try to tell them why
There's oil across the water and holes across the sky
Look through children's eyes, hear the ocean cry
Hear the forest fall in ashes from the sky
Look through children's eyes

We glorify greed without counting the cost
One's man's happy ending is everyman's loss
How long since we noticed how long has it been
And the innocent child is crying again

Look through children's eyes try to tell them why
There's oil across the water and holes across the sky
Look through children's eyes, hear the ocean cry
Hear the forest fall in ashes from the sky
If we look through chilren's eyes
Look through children's eyes
We can save the earth together
If we look through children's eyes

. . .


Churning and burning its a love attack
Don't run for cover it will turn you around in your tracks
Pull you right back

And once it starts its like a thunder ride
Cover to cover it's the kind of a book I could write
Best seller twice

Don't want to show the look in your eyes
Getting too close for comfort

There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing better than love

Head over heels it's not the heart that you lack
The force is over and you know you had to react
Don't have to look back

Don't want to show the look in your eyes
Getting too close for comfort

There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing better than love

Never will be and there never was
Nothing oh nothing
Nothing better for me no nothing
Never never will be no nothing

Don't want to show the look in your eyes
Getting too close for comfort

There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing better than love

There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing

There ain't nothing better than love
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing better than love

Used to call me baby, it always felt so right
Little girls can grow up faster than the speed of light

I'm another lady under this disguise
Sophisticated woman standing right before your eyes

More than anything in the whole world
Just hear me out
I want to be an independent girl
Without a doubt

I hope you understand me breaking all the rules
And I just know much more to life than little girls can chose
I don't have every answer to the problems of the world
And I can't help to solve them if I'm just a little girl

More than anything in the whole world
Without a doubt
I want to be an independent girl
I'm stepping out

Want to move through the days like a gentle breeze
While I'm feeling so free
I'm going to get what I want independently
Come and go as I please

More than anything in the whole world
I want to be an independent girl

Want to move through the days like a gentle breeze
While I'm feeling so free
I'm going to get what I want independently
Come and go as I please

You know I can't wait any longer
I'm stepping out
Yeah and I'm feeling much stronger
Without a doubt

More than anything in the whole world
Just hear me out
I want to be an independent girl
I'm stepping out

More than anything in the whole world
Without a doubt
I want to be an independent girl

. . .


(Kim Carnes)

The wind blows cold and the river swells
And the new moon's going wild
And the walls grow thin
It's the state I'm in
You'll just have to excuse me tonight

Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Checkin' out the ghosts

We wake the beast when we stir the fire
We just can't let it be
After all these years sometimes I still want you near
And it runs bone deep

Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Seeing if they're still here
Hiding in the closet
Cause its helly in here

Checkin' out the ghosts
I'm just checkin' out the ghosts

I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Seeing if they're still here
Hiding in the closet
Weighing down the air

Just checkin' out the ghosts
Sleeping in my bed
Running down my back
Messing up my head

I'm just checkin' the ghosts
Just checkin' out the ghost
I'm just checkin' out the ghosts

. . .


(Kim Carnes)

Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
He walked like you do I thought he was you
And as he turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed cause it wasn't you wasn't you

You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you

How can I forget when each face that I see
Brings backs memories of being with you
I just can't go on living life as I do
Comparing each one with you
Because they just won't do
They're not you

You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you

You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you

. . .


I couldn't believe it things get better while we're sleeping
Stop! you got to care that would like ours is a world worth keeping
Too late to put your head in the sand
It's really not so hard to understand
And I won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today

Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Provocation is a danger
Procrastination is a killer
Stop! Drop the gun you're the hunter
Then you'll be the hunted one

Too late to say that you're away
Too late to look away love is everywhere
Can't hide it won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today

Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Take a listen at your voice coming through the wall
Send a message across the sea
Start with you start with me

Too late to put your head in the sand
It's really not so hard to understand
And I won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today

Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Get busy right away
