How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[ekim]

When day is done
And shadows fall
I dream of you!

When day is done
I think of all
The joys we knew!

That yearning, returning,
To hold you in my arms,
Won't go love, I know love,
Without you, night has lost it's charms!

When day is done
And grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinking
With the sun!

[Udayana]

When the day is done and the ball has spun in the umpires pocket away
And all remains in the groundsman's pains for the rest of the time and a day
There'll be one mad dog and his master, pushing for four with the spin
On a dusty pitch with two pounds six of willow wood in the sun.

When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone
If sometimes you're catching a fleeting glimpse of a twelfth man at silly Mid-on
And it could be Geoff and it could be John with a new ball sting in his tail
And it could be me and it could be thee and it could be the sting in the ale, the sting in the ale.

[Robbie]

Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
Gone, the days are gone now
Days, that seem so wrong now

Life, won't be the same
Without you to hold again in my arms
To ease the pain and remember
When our love was a reason for living

Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
The game is over

[Aruntraveller]

Thinking,
Long ago when we were young and free
Love happened easily and dreams never died
Life sung a pretty song,
Now those days are gone

Crying,
Finding comfort in the friends we knew
Now it's just me and you trying alone
We used to get along (we used to)
Now those days are gone

[ekim]

I was alright for a while, I could smile for a while
Then I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say, "Hello"
You wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you then you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying,
Crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying.

[Robbie]

Just a song we shared, I'll hear
Brings memories back when you were here
Of your smile, your easy laughter
Of your kiss, those moments after
I think of you,
And think of you
And think of you.

Of the dreams we dreamt together
Of the love we vowed would never
Melt like snowflakes in the sun
My days now end as they begun
With thoughts of you,
And I think of you
And think of you.

[ekim]

Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through?
Something in your eyes
Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

[Aruntraveller]

Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like
I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

[Robbie]

When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise

Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes

In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
And dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

[Aruntraveller]

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time

Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time

[Robbie]

I've been down so long
That down don't worry me
I've been down so long
That down don't worry me
I just sit and wonder
Where can my good man be

When it rains in here
It's storming on the sea
When it rains in here
It's storming on the sea

[ekim]

Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

[Robbie]

It's raining tacos
From out of the sky
Tacos
No need to ask why

Just open your mouth and close your eyes
It's raining tacos
Raining tacos
Out in the street

Tacos
All you can eat
Lettuce and shell
Cheese and meat
It's raining tacos

Yum Yum, Yum Yum Yumity Yum
It's like a dream!!!
Yum Yum, Yum Yum Yumity Yum
Bring your sourcream!!!

(It was either that or 'It's raining men' which I've done before)

[Aruntraveller]

It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here

[Robbie]

I'm tired but I'm listening
The story's long, the kids asleep
An ancient sky is hovering
But all in all don't mean a thing

One day I walked across the sand
There was an evil I could not see
The edge of time was quickening
I made it up the joke's on me

Oh man, I can't believe our luck
Oh man, I can't believe our luck

[ekim]

Lucky, lucky, lucky me!
I'm a lucky son of a gun.
I sleep eight hours, I work eight hours.
That leaves eight hours for fun.

Lucky, lucky, lucky me!
Even though I haven't a dime,
I laugh and play in a carefree way
And I have a heck of a time.

[Aruntraveller]

In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind, a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be mine
In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk together hand in hand

I'm dreaming
You fell in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true

I should be so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
I should be so lucky in love
I should be so lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky
I should be so lucky in love

[Robbie]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

[Aruntraveller]

"I'm red white and blue, I've got justice to do
I'm the man of your fantasy dreams
But I'm an alien man from an alien land
Who's alive on your orthicon screens.
I once ruled the world and when flags were unfurled

I performed for you live not on tape.
But the public is cruel when played for a fool
As you see by the blood on my cape."

I don't want to be like old George Reeves
Stuck in a Superman role.
I've got a long way to go in my career
And some day my fame will make it clear
That I had to be a Superman

[Udayana]

At last the moment of vengeance is at hand!
For thirty days I have waited,
weeping tears of blood
behind my fool's mask. This door…
examining the house
is closed!... ah, it is not yet time! I shall wait.

What a night of mystery!
A tempest above,
a murder below!
Oh, how big I feel now!
The clock chimes twelve.
Midnight!

[Robbie]

I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love come tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
When there' no one else around

I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
And do all things I told you, in the midnight hour
Yes I am, oh yes I am
One thing I just wanna say, right here

I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine

You're the only girl I know
Can really love me so, in the midnight hour
Oh yeah, in the midnight hour
Yeah, all right, play it for me one time, now

[ekim]

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days)
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

[Aruntraveller]

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

[Robbie]

In the darkest hour, when I cannot breathe
Fear is on my chest, the weight of the world on me
Everything is crashing down, everything I had known
When I wonder if I'm all alone
I remember, I remember

You have always been faithful to me
I remember, I remember
Even when my own eyes could not see
You were there, always there

[ekim]

Do you remember Grandma’s Lye Soap,
Good for everything in the home,
And the secret was in the scrubbing,
It wouldn’t suds, and wouldn’t foam,

Oh, let us sing right out, sing out!
For Grandma’s Lye Soap,
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes,
And for your hands,
And for your face!


Little Therman, and Brother Herman,
Had an aversion to washing their ears…
Grandma scrubbed them with her lye soap,
And they haven’t heard a word in years!

Oh, let us sing right out, sing out!
For Grandma’s Lye Soap,
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes,
And for your hands,
And for your face!
