Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
instrumental-last two lines of first verse
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
Born free, as free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows,
Born free to follow your heart.
Live free and beauty surrounds you, the world still astounds you,
Each time you look at the stars.
Stay free where no walls divide you, you're free as the roaring tide,
So there's no need to hide.
Born free and life is worth living, but only worth livng,
Cause you're born free.
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'Cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'...
This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town
This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town
This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town
This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown
Love
This is my song
This is my song, my serenade to you
The world
Cannot be wrong
If in this world
There is you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So love
This is my song
This is my song, my serenade to you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So love
This is my song
This is my song
My serenade
To you
You are there, in autumn gold or summer green,
You are there, to lend enchantment to the scene.
I hear music, and all because You Are There.
In a mist, behind a window in the dawn,
we have kissed, but when I reached for you, you'd gone...
You come and you go, like April snow,
Until I wonder, darling,
Are you real, or an illusion I embrace
Half a dream, the other half that laughing face
Although, in my heart, I know that
You are there
You are there
You are there!
Drinkin' again and thinkin' of when, when you loved me
I'm havin' a few and wishin' that you were here
Makin' the rounds, accepting a round from strangers
Bein' a fool just hopin' that you'll appear
Sure, I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a bad joke
But nobody laughs, they don't laugh at a broken heart
Oh, yeah, I'm drinkin' again, it's always the same
That same old story
After the kicks there's little old mixed-up me
Tryin' to lose a dream that used to be
Look at me, I'm drinkin' again, drinkin' all over town
Yeah, I'm drinkin' again
