He Never Mentioned Love
05:46
|

He took me spinning in his fancy cars
He taught me strumming on Balinese guitars
But then I noticed out of all he said
He never mentioned love.
He had me laughing on a Ferris wheel
A childish moment set my heart a-reel
And then he kissed me and he talked a lot
But never mentioned love
Round and round and round my heart went
Just like on a carousel
If this was the love that god sent, what could I do?
I fell, well
He left me broken
Every dream I had was left unspoken
Just as he had come he gave no warning
And was gone again and never mentioned love
He never even mentioned love

Windmills of Your Mind
03:53
|
|||
Round,
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain,
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
or the fragment of a song,
half-remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of his hair?
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Just for a thrill,
You changed the sunshine to rain,
Just for a thrill,
You filled my heart with pain
To me you were my pride and joy
But to you I was merely a toy ..a plaything
That you could toss around at will
Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill.. you just led me along
Although you're free...havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cos you made my heart stand still.....and it was just for the thrill.
Just for a thrill
You made my life one...sad ....song
Just for a thrill
You just led me along
The thought of you gave my heart wings
But to you...it was just.... One of those things
You made my heart stand still....and it was.......
Just for a thrill.

Spain
06:43
|

Yesterday, just a photograph of yesterday
And all its edges folded and the corners faded, sepia brown
And yet it's all I have of our past love
A postscript to its ending
Brighter days, I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang is sung again
And now we know it's for good
This time for good
And we're lovers once again
And you're near me
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown on the ground
In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I got a picture of all our yesterdays
Yesterday, I can say. I got a kick every time I see
That Spain again
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown on the ground
Our love was a Spanish fiesta
The bright lights and songs were our joy each day
And the nights were the heat of yearning
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I got a picture of all our yesterdays
Yesterday, I can say. I got a kick every time I see
You gaze at me
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine
And they dance to the melody
And we live again, as if dreaming
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we know their meaning

Shadow of Your Smile
05:30
|
|||
One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
To mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
The shadow of a smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

When October Goes
04:27
|
|||
And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smoky roofs
I watch the planes go by
The children running home beneath
A twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide
The helpless tears
Oh, how I hate to see October go
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide
The helpless tears
Oh, how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now, I know
It doesn't matter much how old I grow
I hate to see October go

Come to Me High
04:50
|
|||
Come to me high
Come to me restless
Come to me cold
Come to me helpless
Defenseless
When you're on your own
(When you're alone in your room)
Heaven is here at your call
But, darling, love is just
One of those things you have to ask for
Come to me high
Come to me restless
Come to me cold
Come to me helpless
Defenceless
When you're on your own
I see there on your own
Just like the sun, can't touch the moon
Give me what I've given to me
And forget the way down
Forget the way down

Rules of the Road
02:03
|
|||
So these are the ropes
The tricks of the trade
The rules of the road
You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made
The rules of the road
You follow that kiss
And recklessly miss
A bend of the road
Then suddenly this
The end of the road
So love is a hoax
A glittering string
Of little white lies
But these are the jokes
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes
Well love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows
The longer you burn
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern
For the fools of the road
But, that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road
