Summer has
come and passed
The innocent
can never last
Wake me up
when September ends
Like my father's
come to pass
Seven years
has gone so fast
Wake me up
when September ends
Here comes
the rain again
Falling
from the stars
Drenched
in my pain again
Becoming who we are
as my memory rests
But never forgets
what I lost
Wake me up
when September ends

Summer has
come and passed
The innocent
can never last
Wake me up
when September ends
Ring out the
bells again
Like we did
when spring began
Wake me up
when September ends
Here comes
the rain again
Falling
from the stars
Drenched
in my pain again
Becoming who we are
as my memory rest
But never forgets
what I lost
Wake me up
when September ends

Summer has
come and passed
The innocent
can never last
Wake me up
when September ends
Like my father's
come to pass
Twenty years
has gone so fast
Wake me up
when September ends
Wake me up
when September ends
Wake me up
when September ends

Get her name
and get her number
Find out
all of the things
That
we have in common
Never all the
differences oh yeah
Meet her parents
meet her brother
Then she starts
sleepin'
Over the crib
on weekends
Like a real
relationship oh no
For me
the stars are alignin'
But for her
it's bad timin'
So she just
can't be mine
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
all they wanna do is
Break my heart
my heart oh
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh
So I hook up
on a rebound
And
I say
That I'm gonna be
single for life
But she's so pretty
and nice
So I made just
one exception
But
I find out
Eventually
I'm not her type
Baby that's
the reason why that
For me
the stars are alignin'
But for her
it's bad timin'
So she just
can't be mine
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
all they wanna do is
Break my heart
my heart oh
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh

I'm tryin'
not to be bitter
But dxxx it
I'll miss her
'Cause she's one
of a kind
For me
the stars are alignin'
But for her
it's bad timin'
So she just
can't be mine
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
all they wanna do is
Break my heart
my heart oh
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh
Then we fall we fall
fall fall apart now
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
that the blood
You bleed is
just the blood you owe
We were a pair
but I saw you there
Too much to bear
you were my life
But life is far away
from fair
Was I stupid
to love you
Was I reckless
to help
Was it obvious
to everybody else
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
I let it
burn
You're no longer
my concern
Faces
from my past return
Another lesson yet
to learn
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
No time to die
no time to die
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die

I have often
told you stories
About the way
I lived the life
Of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take
your hand
And sing you songs
then maybe
You would say
come lay with me
Love me
and I would
Surely stay
but I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier
of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for
something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
but those days
I thougt my eyes
had seen you
Standing near
though
Blindness is confusing
it shows that
You're not here
now I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
Goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
Should've known
better yeah-

Oh-- oh-
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
and lead you
To the dance floor
as the music dies
Something
in your eyes
Calls to mind
the silver screen
And all it's said
good-bye
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never
gonna dance again
The way I danced
with you-- oh-
Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you oh--
Never without
your love-

Tonight the music
seems so loud
I wish that we could
lose this crowd
Maybe it's better
this way
We'd hurt each other
with the things
We'd want to say
we could have been
So good together
we could have lived
This dance forever
but no one's gonna
Dance with me
please stay
And I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet
have got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you-- ah--
(Now that you're gone)
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
what I did's
So wrong so wrong
that you had to
Leave me
alone-

I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

I don't know you
but I want you
All the more
for that
Words fall through me
always fool me
And I
can't react
And games that
never amount to
More than they're
meant will play
Themselves
out
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your
hopeful
Voice you
have a choice
You've
make it now
Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't
go back
And moods
that take me
And erase me
and I'm painted black
You have
suffered enough
And warred
with yourself
It's time
that you won
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you
Had a choice
you've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along
oh oh

Every time
you come around
You know
I can't say no
Every time
the sun goes down
I let you
take control
I can feel
the paradise
Before
my world implodes
And tonight had
something wonderful
My bad
habits
Lead to late nights
ending alone
Conversations
with a stranger
I barely know
swearing
This will be the last
but it probably won't
I've got
nothing
Left to lose
or use or do
My bad
habits
Lead to wide eyes
stare into space
And I know
I lose control
Of the things
that I say
I was looking
for a way out
Now
I can't escape
Nothing happens
after two
It's true
it's true
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
Every pure
intention ends
When the good times
start
Falling over
everything
To reach the first
time's spark
It started
under neon lights
And then it
all got dark
I only know
how to go too far
My bad
habits
Lead to late nights
ending alone
Conversations
with a stranger
I barely know
swearing
This will be the last
but it probably won't
I've got
nothing
Left to lose
or use or do
My bad
habits
Lead to wide eyes
stare into space
And I know
I lose control
Of the things
that I say
I was looking
for a way out
Now
I can't escape
Nothing happens
after two
It's true
it's true
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
We took the long way
'round
And burned 'til
the fun ran out now
My bad
habits
Lead to late nights
ending alone
Conversations
with a stranger
I barely know
swearing
This will be the last
but it probably won't
I've got
nothing
Left to lose
or use or do
My bad
habits
Lead to wide eyes
stare into space
And I know
I lose control
Of the things
that I say
I was looking
for a way out
Now
I can't escape
Nothing happens
after two
It's true
it's true
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you
My bad habits
lead to you

Do you
love the rain
Does it
make you dance
When
you're drunk
With your friends
at a party
What's
your favorite song
Does it
make you smile
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
Do you
miss the road
That
you grew up on
Did you
get your middle name
From
your grandma
When
you think about
Your forever
now
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna
love you
Woo want the good
and the bad
And everything
in between
Woo gotta cure
my curiosity
Woo
yeah
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
yeah
And
I I'm gonna love you
I I'm gonna
love you

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with fancy whims
that summer night
My whole world
tumbled down
I could have died
if not for you
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
Set me free like the
sparrows up the tree
Give a sign
so I would
Ease my mind
just say a word
And I'll come
running wild
Give me a chance
to live again
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with
fancy whims
That summer night
my whole world
Tumbled down
I could have died
If not for you
each night
I pray for you
my heart would
Cry for you
the sun won't
Shine
again
Since you
have gone
Each time
I think of you
My heart would
beat for you
You are the one
for me

On my own pretending
he's beside me
All alone I walk
with him till morning
Without him I feel
his arms around me
And when I lose my way
I close my eyes
And he has
found me
In the
rain
The pavement shines
like silver
All the lights
are misty in the river
In the
darkness
The trees are
full of starlight
And all I see is
him and me
Forever
and forever
And I know
it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to
myself and not to him
And although I know
that he is blind
Still I say
there's a way for us
I love
him
But when the night is
over
He is
gone
The river's
just a river
Without
him
The world around me
changes
The trees are bare and
everywhere
The streets are
full of strangers
I love
him
But every day
I'm learning
All my
life
I've only been
pretending
Without me his world
would go on turning
A world that's
full of happiness
That I have
never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
but only on my own

Hello darkness
my old friend
I've come to talk
with you again
Because a vision
softly creeping left
the seeds while
I was sleeping
And the vision
that was planted
in my brain
still remains within
the sound of silence
In restless dreams
I walked alone narrow
streets of cobblestone
'neath the halo
of a street lamp
I turned my collar
to the cold and damp
When my eyes were
stabbed by the flash
of a neon light
split the night and
touched the sound
of silence
And in the naked light
I saw then thousand
people maybe more
people talking without
speaking people
hearing without
listening people
writing songs
that voices never
share no one dare
disturb the sound
of silence
"Fools!" said I
"You do not know
silence like
a cancer grows"
"Hear my words that
I might teach you
Take my arms
that I might reach you"
But my words
like silent raindrops
fell and echoed
in the wells of silence
And the people
bowed and prayed
to the neon god
they made
And the sign flached
out it's warning
In the words
that it was forming
And the signs said
The words of the
prophets are written
on the subway walls
and tenement halls
And whisper'd in
the sounds
of silence-

There is a house
in New Orleans
They call the
rising sun
And it's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And Go I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my
new blue jeans
My father was
a gamblin' man
Down in
New Orleans
Now the only thing
a gambler needs
Is a suitcase
and a trunk
And the only time
he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all
a drunk

Oh mother
tell your children
Not to do
what I have done
spend your lives
in sin and misery
In the house
of the rising sun
Well I've got one
foot on the platform
The other
foot on the train
I'm going back to
New Orleans
To wear that ball
and chain
Well there is
a house in New Orleans
They call
the rising sun
And It's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know
I'm one

You are the answer
to my lonely prayer
You are an angel
from above
I was so lonely
till you come to me
With the wonder of
your love
I don't know how
I ever lived before
You are my life
my destiny
Oh my darling
I love you so
You mean
everything to me
If you should ever
ever go away
There would be
lonely tears to cry
The sun above would
never shine again
There would be
teardrops in the sky
So hold me close and
never let me go
Any say our love
will- be-
Oh my darling
I love you so
You mean
everything to me
So hold me close and
never let me go
Any say our love
will always be
Oh my darling
I love you so
You mean
ev'rything to me.

Feelings
nothing more than
feelings
trying to forget my
feelings of love
Tear drops
rolling down on
my face trying to
forget my - - -
feeling of love
Feelings for all
my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never
met you girl
you'll never come
again Feelings
wo wo wo feelings
wo wo wo feel you
again in my heart
Feelings
feelings like I've
never lost you
and feelings like
I'll never have you
again in my heart
Feelings
for all my life
I'll feel it
I wish I've never
met you girl
you'll never
come again
Feelings
feelings like I've
never lost you
and feelings like I'll
never have you
again in my heart
Feelings
wo wo wo feelings
wo wo wo feelings
again in my arms
Feelngs
wo wo wo

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look
that way to me
I hurts you so I see
But I just can't
go on with lie
I gave you all I had no
there is nothing left
I may be wrong
But I'd better go now
oh- no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).
