See the dark night has come down on usThe world is livin' in its dreamBut now we know that we can wake up from this sleepAnd set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come to trust that guiding lightAnd leavin' all the rest behindWe'll take the road that leads down to the watersideAnd set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the waterYes we'll feel the sea growYes we'll meet out on the waterWhere are all strangers are known.
If you travel blindly, if you fallThe truth is there to set you freeAnd when your heart can see just one thing in this lifeWe'll set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the waterYes we'll feel the sea growYes we'll meet out on the waterWhere are all strangers are known.
See the dark night has come down on usThe world is livin' in its dreamBut now we know that we can wake up from this sleepAnd set out on the journeyFind a ship to take us on the way.
And we'll sail out on the waterYes we'll feel the sea growYes we'll meet out on the waterWhere are all strangers are known.

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman, right down the line

I know how much I lean on you, only you can see
Changes that I've been through have left their mark on me
You've been as constant as a northern star, the brightest light that shines
It's been you, woman, right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way
Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more

'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me, you brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind
And it was you, woman, right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way
Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
I won't turn to someone else, they'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman, right down the line

Now the night train is waitin' to take me awayAnd I'm still feelin' guilty cause you're wanting me to stayWell I know, how I know, it's harder on youBut you said it yourself, there's nothing else we could do.
When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the nightOut there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' brightAnd it makes me feel better just to see it up thereI hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care.
So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me homeSo goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home.
Now I know you've been waiting, but I'll be seeing you soonMeanwhile I just lay here staring at the moonAnd a light made of silver, through my window it creepsAnd the train keeps on rollin', and it just rocks me to sleep.
So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me homeSo goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home.So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home.
Now from city to city, it's four hundred milesAnd I'm bound to wake up every once in a whileAnd it's then that I call out to some higher powerAnd then I'll go back to sleep cause I'll be home in an hour.
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
(fade)I'm going home (ooooh) tonight...

Stealin' time, I've been stealin' timeBut I don't feel guilty, cause the time was mineI kept down low, kept down lowI walked right out, I had to let it go.
Stealin' time, I've been stealin' timeForgot about everything and eased my mindStealin' time, I was stealin' timeBut now I know it's time to cross that line.
I watched the sky, watched the skyEvery day I let the world roll bySun and rain, sun and the rainIt felt so good to know that magic again.
Stealin' time, I've been stealin' timeForgot about everything and eased my mindStealin' time, I was stealin' timeBut now I know it's time to cross that line.
Wait my love, wait my loveWe'll soon be brighter than the sun up aboveWait and see, wait and seeForget about everything except you and me.
Stealin' time, I've been stealin' timeForgot about everything and eased my mindStealin' time, I was stealin' timeBut now I know it's time to cross that line.
(fade)Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' timeRoll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time.

Oh Mattie open up the door, that's right I'm home again
You've got a big surprise in store, turn ‘round and count to ten
Wait ‘til you see what I got you, well you'll say it's a magic thing
It's like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and he'll start to sing.

I've been away for quite a while, and I want to hear all your news
Speak to me, let me see you smile, cause I've had those homesick blues
When I go down to that city I just don't know wrong from right
When I go back to you Mattie, well you make me see the light.

Love is a singular thing, it can take you up or bring you down
Yes love is a song that I sing, so come on now Mattie listen to the sound
When you grow up we'll sit and talk of how things used to be
I'll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories.

Album: City to City
Composer: Gerry Rafferty

Yeah, night and day, night and day

Wakin' up here on a rainy day
I swore last time that I would stay away
I came down here to talk to you
I said this time I might get through

I heard her speak but all the words were dead
We talked all night and left it all unsaid
So we agree to disagree
At least we've got our memory

(chorus)
Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
You'll find a way to say it all someday, yeah
Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
Yeah, night and day, night and day

You've got your secrets, yeah, and I've got mine
We've played this game now for a long, long time
You don't lean on anyone
You never had no place to run

You never wanted me to get too close
We love and hate the ones we need the most
I tried to find a way to you
One thing I could say to you

Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
You'll find a way to say it all someday, yeah
Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
Yeah, night and day, night and day

Maybe I've always set my sights too high
You take the easy way and still get by
I know there ain't no special way
We all get there anyway

I heard her speak but all the words were dead
We talked all night and left it all unsaid
So we agree to disagree
At least we've got our memory

Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
You'll find a way to say it all someday, yeah
Whatever's written in your heart, that's all that matters
Yeah, night and day, and day
Yeah, night and day, and day
Yeah, night and day, and day
Yeah, night and day, and day
Yeah, night and day, and day
Yeah, night and day, and day
Yeah, night and day, and day

Yeah, night and day, and day... (whatever's written in your heart)
(repeat and fade out)

This silver bird takes me ‘cross the skyJust one more hour and I'll be home and dry‘Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin'.
Feelin' tired, but I feel goodCause I did everything I said I wouldI think of you, and I know how you'll be feelin'.
I gotta see you, I gotta be with youWe'll make it better now in every wayIt's gotta be you, it's gotta be youYes from now on I'll tell you everyday.
Way up here above this timeless seaI realize just what it is you mean to meYou give me somethin' when I thought that everything we had was dyin'.
I need a reason just to make me carry onWell I know better now, I know where I belongI can't imagine how I ever let myself just give up tryin'.
I gotta see you, I gotta be with youWe'll make it better now in every wayIt's gotta be you, it's gotta be youYes from now on I'll tell you everyday.
Oooooh, yes home and dry.
Ain't nothin' up here gonna slow me downYou know I never ever take the long way ‘roundI think of you, cause I know how you'll be feelin'.
This silver bird takes me ‘cross the skyJust one more hour and I'll be home and dry‘Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin'.
I gotta see you, I gotta be with youWe'll make it better now in every wayIt's gotta be you, it's gotta be youYes from now on I'll tell you everyday.
Oooooh, yes home and dry.

Wake up my love, the sun is shinin' out there, blue sky up aboveIt's a brand new day, let's walk outside and let that breeze blow all our cares away.
You know that way back there in that city lifeWe've been strangers for so longNow that I feel like I know you againI want to stay.
So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begunThat was my last dream, since then I've watched the rest crumble one by one.
Since we've been runnin' silent yeah it's felt so rightIt's gettin' closer now everydayNow that I feel like I know you againI want to stay.
(sha la la sha la la)
You know that on my own I don't make it aloneI need someone who needs meI only know that wherever you areI want to be.
But from now on, we won't worry about a thing, yeah the past is goneThis is our last day (yeah), we're gonna make sweet love before we sail away.

Well here I am, back in townJust as the night is comin' downWarm wind blowin' through the treesI watch them swing, I watch them swayLie here waiting for the day.
Sleep won't come, I need a drinkStop my head, don't wanna thinkWishing I could be with youBut I know you're so far awayAnd I'm here waiting for the day.
Water of life pour your light down on meTake me out of this darkness, sweet star of the seaWater so sweet you can open my eyesYou can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.
Out on the street, shadows fallSilence speaks, I hear it callCity of the living deadCount the lights on the motorwayLie here waiting for the day (alright).
Water of life pour your light down on meTake me out of this darkness, sweet star of the seaWater so sweet you can open my eyesYou can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.
Yes here I am, back in townJust as the night is comin' downWarm wind blowin' through the treesI watch them swing, I watch them swayLie here waiting for the day (alright)
