I need to find her quickly To immerse my insecurity I'm lonely amongst these people And I need to feel love And I need to feel part of something Is that strange ? And why are they reluctant to talk and why do they look alone when they walk ? I see a face but no names But despite my confusion I've come to the conclusion That people Need people It's something I forget But I've come to accept That people Need people And I'm alright And I'm ok I'm surviving well Without you And what did you want And what did you expect Did you want me to still talk about you? No No way I'm on my own now And doing fine No No way I'm on my own now And doing fine And anyone can give Money to a good cause But it stops right there And anyone can sign A petition to change the law But it stops right there And we can believe in socialism Or any theorism But it stops right there And take care of yourself Cos it's all about yourself And it stops right there But I'm not part of this I'm not seeing what they're seeing I'm staring at the ceiling at the world To see what is lying On the horizon Maybe I'll see you again someday girl But despite my raw deal I still feel That people Need people It's something we forget But we must accept That people Need people And I'm alright And I'm ok I'm surviving well without you And what did you want And what did you expect Did you want me to still talk about you? No No way I'm on my own now And doing fine No No way I'm on my own now And doing fine I'm doing fine Day One Index Autumn RainLook around Look around look around Is there something I'm missing here Is there something I should know And just listen to the sound All around there's people living their lives People passing by As I catch their eye It doesn't matter where you're from Cos wherever you are from You got a long walk home You got a long walk on And I've walked for many years And I've never shed a tear For a place called home Cos in this place I roam Everyone's the same When you're walking in the autumn rain x2 When you're walking from your past You can never walk too fast Think you got away at last x2 And we all have to live with our mistakes But what would it take To make things right To feel good inside It doesn't matter what you've done Cos whatever you've done Life has to go on x2 Yeah And my conscience is always clear every time I am here Because there is no blame When you're walking in the autumn rain ... Day One Index Ordinary ManThere is a woman who lives in this town That has my heart held in her hand I see her in the streets every day But I can't find the words to say But if I were a writer and could write a good hand I'd write of this love that I don't understand The words in my hear they come and they go I'm thinking I love her but she'll never know And if I were a sculptor and had a good eye Id carve out her beauty in marble or ice But these hands of mine are far from refined Guess I'll have to accept that I am just an ordinary man ... Now if I were good looking and had a pretty face And if I could walk and speak with grace And if I had style then I wouldn't have to look down when she walked by And if I were a singer and could sing a good key I'd sing of this love in melody But this voice of mine is far from refined I guess I'll have to accept that I'm just an ordinary man ... I know one day she'll look I know one day she'll see me And maybe that one day she'll want to be with me And maybe she'll love me for who I am just as that ordinary man ... Day One Index |
