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

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

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

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

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

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
