LYRICS-

There is someone that I see Anytime she is free, for a coffee or two Laugh and chat about the new We’d talk of things that we’ve done Flew to close to the sun, melted into our dreams That’s the price of life it seems Conversations with Emily go Hidden places, forgotten spaces Consultation on anything apropos She’s such a joy to know I’d watch her draw while we’d talk Thoughts in charcoal and chalk, Sometimes when they were done We would tear them up for fun She never once made me feel That I had to conceal, secrets I never told Like a story they’d unfold Conversations with Emily go Hidden places, forgotten spaces Consultation on anything apropos She’s such a joy to know Conversations with Emily Conversations with Emily Conversations with Emily There is someone that I see anytime she is free

There is someone that I see
Anytime she is free, for a coffee or two
Laugh and chat about the new
We’d talk of things that we’ve done
Flew to close to the sun, melted into our dreams
That’s the price of life it seems

Conversations with Emily go
Hidden places, forgotten spaces
Consultation on anything apropos
She’s such a joy to know

I’d watch her draw while we’d talk
Thoughts in charcoal and chalk,
Sometimes when they were done
We would tear them up for fun
She never once made me feel
That I had to conceal, secrets I never told
Like a story they’d unfold

Conversations with Emily go
Hidden places, forgotten spaces
Consultation on anything apropos
She’s such a joy to know
Conversations with Emily
Conversations with Emily
Conversations with Emily

There is someone that I see anytime she is free

She’s a hard one to figure Heaven knows how I’ve tried Now I’ll be first to admit it’s true Even after all that she’s put me through I would do anything for her smile There were times I was certain She would surely be mine But just as soon as I’d feel that way She would find some other new game to play, still I would do anything for her smile She’s that kind of girl that makes you feel You’ll never need to find another But when it all goes wrong, and her love has moved on You'll try to let her go, but in your heart you want her so Sometimes when I remember How I hoped it would be I catch myself reaching for the phone Cause I know I’ve got to leave her alone, still I would do anything, I would give anything I would do anything for her smile, for her smile

She’s a hard one to figure
Heaven knows how I’ve tried
Now I’ll be first to admit it’s true
Even after all that she’s put me through
I would do anything for her smile

There were times I was certain
She would surely be mine
But just as soon as I’d feel that way
She would find some other new game to play, still
I would do anything for her smile

She’s that kind of girl that makes you feel
You’ll never need to find another
But when it all goes wrong, and her love has moved on
You'll try to let her go, but in your heart you want her so

Sometimes when I remember How I hoped it would be
I catch myself reaching for the phone
Cause I know I’ve got to leave her alone, still
I would do anything, I would give anything
I would do anything for her smile, for her smile

She was fond of saying “what’s the point of it all” So I was always praying pride would soften the fall But every time the tumble came I tried to claim it wasn’t so A hopeless Romeo, she’d laugh I’d take her photograph She lives in a world of her own The rules for you and I they don’t apply Unlike anyone that you’ve known Mysteriously coy but still, we all bend to her will Looking for an answer I lost myself in a dream The last romantic dancer taking one for the team Bewildered by the smile she hid I never did connect the dots So in the end her thoughts, would soar, as if unspoken for She lives in a world of her own The rules for you and I they don’t apply Unlike anyone that you’ve known Conditionally kind but still, we all bend to her will Somewhere in the back of my mind I hear, “enjoy it while you can” I should just accept the way she is Cause beauty tends to do as it pleases But past a certain point you’re so drawn in It’s positively Circean The last thing I remember was feeling terribly old The former top contender all alone in the cold Confronting life without the chase I had to face my fatal flaw The perfect au revoir, she’d sigh, both hello and good-bye She lives in a world of her own The rules for you and I they don’t apply Unlike anyone that you’ve known Predictably aloof but still, we all bend to her will She lives in a world of her own She lives in a world of her own She lives in a world of her own

She was fond of saying “what’s the point of it all”
So I was always praying pride would soften the fall
But every time the tumble came
I tried to claim it wasn’t so
A hopeless Romeo, she’d laugh
I’d take her photograph

She lives in a world of her own
The rules for you and I they don’t apply
Unlike anyone that you’ve known
Mysteriously coy but still, we all bend to her will

Looking for an answer I lost myself in a dream
The last romantic dancer taking one for the team
Bewildered by the smile she hid I never did connect the dots So in the end her thoughts, would soar, as if unspoken for
She lives in a world of her own
The rules for you and I they don’t apply
Unlike anyone that you’ve known
Conditionally kind but still, we all bend to her will
Somewhere in the back of my mind I hear, “enjoy it while you can”
I should just accept the way she is
Cause beauty tends to do as it pleases
But past a certain point you’re so drawn in
It’s positively Circean

The last thing I remember was feeling terribly old
The former top contender all alone in the cold
Confronting life without the chase
I had to face my fatal flaw
The perfect au revoir, she’d sigh, both hello and good-bye

She lives in a world of her own
The rules for you and I they don’t apply
Unlike anyone that you’ve known
Predictably aloof but still, we all bend to her will
She lives in a world of her own
She lives in a world of her own
She lives in a world of her own

Rushing here running late again Traffic’s jammed schedule’s slammed but then There never seems to be enough of time Within the company of those that I’m Glad to find a moment that we both can share Wile away a sunny afternoon, someday soon Phone won’t stop too much left undone Working more life waits for no one So there never seems to be enough of time Within the company of those that I’m Glad to have a moment that we both can share Wile away a sunny afternoon, someday soon Now there never seems to be enough of time Within the company of those that I’m Glad to have a moment that we both can share Wile away a sunny afternoon, someday soon Time, time, time, time There never seems to be enough time Time, time, time, time There never seems to be enough time Time, time, time, time There never seems to be enough Time, time, time, time There never seems to be enough time Time, time, time, time Not enough, not enough time

Rushing here running late again
Traffic’s jammed schedule’s slammed but then
There never seems to be enough of time
Within the company of those that I’m
Glad to find a moment that we both can share
Wile away a sunny afternoon, someday soon

Phone won’t stop too much left undone
Working more life waits for no one
So there never seems to be enough of time
Within the company of those that I’m
Glad to have a moment that we both can share
Wile away a sunny afternoon, someday soon

Now there never seems to be enough of time
Within the company of those that I’m
Glad to have a moment that we both can share
Wile away a sunny afternoon, someday soon

Time, time, time, time
There never seems to be enough time
Time, time, time, time
There never seems to be enough time
Time, time, time, time
There never seems to be enough
Time, time, time, time
There never seems to be enough time
Time, time, time, time
Not enough, not enough time

Looking through pictures taken a long time ago Some I remember and some I’m pretending to know But I took them when, I was young Lucky enough to be counted among Those that love chose To be kissed in the mist and the rain Walking along the Seine Light from the café brings out the green in her eyes Darker and deeper beyond what her silence belies But I knew her when, she was young Happy enough to be counted among Those that love chose To have kissed in the mist and the rain Walking along the Seine Laughing the morning away, she’d say, “We’ll always have Paris” Now I walk the same streets as we did before Cobbled memories of her, nothing less, nothing more Watch as the tourists smile at the sights that they find Lovers pass by me Their hearts and their hands intertwined And we felt that when, we were young Lucky enough to be counted among Those that love chose To be kissed in the mist and the rain Walking along the Seine, Walking along the Seine Looking at pictures taken a long time ago

Looking through pictures taken a long time ago
Some I remember and some I’m pretending to know
But I took them when, I was young
Lucky enough to be counted among
Those that love chose
To be kissed in the mist and the rain
Walking along the Seine

Light from the café brings out the green in her eyes
Darker and deeper beyond what her silence belies
But I knew her when, she was young
Happy enough to be counted among
Those that love chose
To have kissed in the mist and the rain
Walking along the Seine

Laughing the morning away, she’d say,
“We’ll always have Paris”
Now I walk the same streets as we did before
Cobbled memories of her, nothing less, nothing more

Watch as the tourists smile at the sights that they find
Lovers pass by me
Their hearts and their hands intertwined
And we felt that when, we were young
Lucky enough to be counted among
Those that love chose
To be kissed in the mist and the rain
Walking along the Seine, Walking along the Seine

Looking at pictures taken a long time ago

Jaime was a painter she lived in a loft Her talent was soft but her heart was not She couldn't keep her mouth shut one too many times And so for her crimes she was not well liked Maybe that's the secret of her allure In spite of the tour I'm still not really sure When the paint began to run, it really wasn't very fun The portrait I was shown, was better left alone Ammie was an actress I met through a friend She was quite the blend of a cat and a girl Foolishly I lent her my favorite CDs Then sure as you please I have not seen her since I suppose that isn't much of a price To pay once or twice for a roll of the dice As the curtain hit the stage, I tried to write another page The magic it had passed, I had to change the cast Sara was a singer whose style was her own Without crown or throne she resembled a queen I often thought she had way too many tattoos But a child of the blues can get caught in the scene In the end I knew there'd be hell to pay I knelt down to pray while the song slipped away When the silence finally came, I was left to take the blame Performing a duet, with my own silhouette All and all I thought it was a very good year

Jaime was a painter she lived in a loft
Her talent was soft but her heart was not
She couldn't keep her mouth shut one too many times
And so for her crimes she was not well liked
Maybe that's the secret of her allure
In spite of the tour I'm still not really sure
When the paint began to run, it really wasn't very fun
The portrait I was shown, was better left alone

Ammie was an actress I met through a friend
She was quite the blend of a cat and a girl
Foolishly I lent her my favorite CDs
Then sure as you please I have not seen her since
I suppose that isn't much of a price
To pay once or twice for a roll of the dice
As the curtain hit the stage, I tried to write another page
The magic it had passed, I had to change the cast

Sara was a singer whose style was her own Without crown or throne she resembled a queen
I often thought she had way too many tattoos
But a child of the blues can get caught in the scene
In the end I knew there'd be hell to pay
I knelt down to pray while the song slipped away
When the silence finally came, I was left to take the blame
Performing a duet, with my own silhouette

All and all I thought it was a very good year

Winter always winter Everywhere I go, a sea of snow In all direction Winter never ending winter Fields that once were green, now stand serene Their flowers frozen But once upon a time there were warm summer breezes Now the wind just freezes, all my dreams to sorrow Always winter never changing winter Trees in cloaks of white, no thaw in sight Wait on in silence I wish I knew what it would take To break this cold December spell That keeps me in its icy shell Oh what I’d give to see things as they were before If only I could feel that summer wind once more

Winter always winter
Everywhere I go, a sea of snow In all direction

Winter never ending winter
Fields that once were green, now stand serene
Their flowers frozen

But once upon a time there were warm summer breezes Now the wind just freezes, all my dreams to sorrow

Always winter never changing winter
Trees in cloaks of white, no thaw in sight
Wait on in silence

I wish I knew what it would take
To break this cold December spell
That keeps me in its icy shell
Oh what I’d give to see things as they were before
If only I could feel that summer wind once more

I think it might be safe for me to say Since our revolution’s had its day It won’t be back again We used to be the ones who set the tone But by now it’s clear that bird has flown We won’t see it again No we won’t see it again So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man I really wish you lots of luck with the plan I know it’s harder to move on From the twilight than the dawn Storm waters flow to the sea Forgotten eventually You know we can’t go back You know we can’t go back Look how the counterculture’s past its prime Lost in the kaleidoscope of time We won’t see them again Now just like everyone who’s come before Waiting for the boatman on the shore We won’t be back again, No we won't be back again So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man I really wish you lots of luck with the plan I know it’s harder to move on From the twilight than the dawn Storm waters flow to the sea Forgotten eventually You know we can’t go back You know we can’t go back So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man I really wish you lots of luck with the plan I know it’s harder to move on From the twilight than the dawn So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man I really wish you lots of luck with the plan Yes if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man I really wish you lots of luck with the plan

I think it might be safe for me to say
Since our revolution’s had its day
It won’t be back again
We used to be the ones who set the tone
But by now it’s clear that bird has flown
We won’t see it again
No we won’t see it again

So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man
I really wish you lots of luck with the plan
I know it’s harder to move on
From the twilight than the dawn
Storm waters flow to the sea
Forgotten eventually
You know we can’t go back
You know we can’t go back

Look how the counterculture’s past its prime
Lost in the kaleidoscope of time
We won’t see them again
Now just like everyone who’s come before
Waiting for the boatman on the shore
We won’t be back again, No we won't be back again

So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man
I really wish you lots of luck with the plan
I know it’s harder to move on
From the twilight than the dawn
Storm waters flow to the sea
Forgotten eventually
You know we can’t go back
You know we can’t go back

So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man
I really wish you lots of luck with the plan
I know it’s harder to move on
From the twilight than the dawn
So if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man
I really wish you lots of luck with the plan
Yes if you think you’ll stay yesterday’s man
I really wish you lots of luck with the plan

Some days are better than others Sometimes the sorrow smothers the joy But I won’t worry about what will be, or what was I’ve got a reason because Tell me you’re sure our love will last If I should have a doubt Say it again and then you’ll give me Something to smile about Call me up just to say hello Oh I’ll be so devout Show me a sign you're mine and I’ll have Something to smile about Life can be so hard we sweat and strain Often to get nowhere But if you find someone to help you see it through Keep them close whatever you do Write me a letter when you’re gone So I won’t have to pout Sealed with a kiss now this would give me Something to smile about Life can be so hard we sweat and strain Often to get nowhere But if you find someone to help you see it through Keep them close whatever you do I used to wear a lonely frown Until I figured out When you are here it’s clear that I’ve got Something to smile about You give me something to smile about Now I’ve got something to smile about

Some days are better than others
Sometimes the sorrow smothers the joy
But I won’t worry about what will be, or what was
I’ve got a reason because

Tell me you’re sure our love will last
If I should have a doubt
Say it again and then you’ll give me
Something to smile about

Call me up just to say hello
Oh I’ll be so devout
Show me a sign you're mine and I’ll have
Something to smile about

Life can be so hard we sweat and strain
Often to get nowhere
But if you find someone to help you see it through
Keep them close whatever you do

Write me a letter when you’re gone
So I won’t have to pout
Sealed with a kiss now this would give me
Something to smile about

Life can be so hard we sweat and strain
Often to get nowhere
But if you find someone to help you see it through
Keep them close whatever you do

I used to wear a lonely frown
Until I figured out
When you are here it’s clear that I’ve got
Something to smile about
You give me something to smile about
Now I’ve got something to smile about

I remember those days very well Tangled up in the lure of the spell Chasing down as if a clown a lonesome legacy How I hope you find a better one than me Hiding out in the poetry room Weaving tales on a nylon string loom To my friends I must have been a pointless mystery How I hope they find a better friend than me Is it crime to spend your time, working for a song You’ll bear the chains of life you wear Be they short or long See for me that her eyes are as blue As the sparkling sapphires I knew On that day I’m sad to say I had to set her free So that she could find a better man than me Is it a crime to spend your time, working for a song You’ll bear the chains of life you wear Be they short or long Let the boys know our work here is done Tell the captain the tide’s on the run Chart the crew safe passage to some other destiny How I hope they find a, I hope they find a I hope they find a better one than me

I remember those days very well
Tangled up in the lure of the spell
Chasing down as if a clown a lonesome legacy
How I hope you find a better one than me

Hiding out in the poetry room
Weaving tales on a nylon string loom
To my friends I must have been a pointless mystery
How I hope they find a better friend than me

Is it crime to spend your time, working for a song
You’ll bear the chains of life you wear
Be they short or long

See for me that her eyes are as blue
As the sparkling sapphires I knew
On that day I’m sad to say I had to set her free
So that she could find a better man than me

Is it a crime to spend your time, working for a song
You’ll bear the chains of life you wear
Be they short or long

Let the boys know our work here is done
Tell the captain the tide’s on the run
Chart the crew safe passage to some other destiny
How I hope they find a, I hope they find a
I hope they find a better one than me
