Met a girl right outta the blue, superficial but beautiful
(And so I) put all my ideals on hold and I pray that you’re gonna change
It started out as a better thing, and now it’s left me a bitter man
(But) still I carry a wayward grin and I pray that you’re gonna change
<Sax fill>
Swallowed up from the very start, I curse your name when I shout in the dark
But I’ll play all of those different parts and I’ll pray that you’re gonna change
And I see all my friends, they say it’s my decision, to let you torture me so
You’re two faced, but I’m blind, I won’t think on past times
Besides what the hell do they know?
My God, what’s this? We’re waiting
It’s too late, for me now, I’m overcome.
And now I’m sat on my own again, wondering where the hour’s gone
Fretting over those men you’re with, praying that you’re gonna change
And sometimes in the night I ask myself ‘why bother’? It’s not as if we’re even alike
In quicksand, I’m stuck, like glue on this drug.
I’m slowly falling apart
My God, what’s this? We’re waiting
It’s too late, for me now, I’m overcome.
Whatever it takes, I’m changing your ways, we’ll show them, show them all
Forgive and forget, those past mistakes, and let’s move on
But you’ve got, to listen, and know that, inside, you’ve gotta change
Work with me… please?
My God, what’s this? We’re waiting
It’s too late, for me now, I’m over…
It’s a fine line, between us, and it’s fading
It’s too late, for me now, I’m all done

At The End Of The Day

At the end of the day when the working week is through
I can close up my eyes and breathe in the pictures of you
And those happier times in my mind leave me so damn blue
For always I know that I’m forever true
Through the long winter night in the twilight of my years
Since the day that you left my purpose alone has been clear
To get through the day and sleep sound when I turn out the light
For always I know that you’ll be there tonight
At the end of the day I’m waiting
For the hours of the night to pass by
Oh I have longed, I have tried, to be there, by your side
I can’t breathe cause you’ve taken my life
As I lay down at night to rest my weary head
And I turn to my right to find nothing but memories instead
Still I look to the skies and I smile at the heavens above
Because – always I know that I’ll stay in love
I’ll stay in love (stay in love) I’ll stay in love
