From On a Wing and a Prayer (1992) by Gerry Rafferty

Time's Caught up on You (Rafferty) - 4:22

One night, you’ll stand again in the spotlight
And everything will be alright
And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.

You started out in rock �n’ roll
You had music deep in your soul
Now you don’t cut it like you used to do
Looks like time has caught up on you.

You’ve given up, you’ve settled down
No more riding on the money-go-round
A quiet life and a room with a view
Looks like time’s caught up on you.

Holes in your pockets, holes in your shoes
Holes in your day dreams that never came true
So many years but so little to show
Nobody told you -- you reap what you sow.

The way you talk -- makes me sad
I still remember all the good times we had
Right now you’re twisted and bitter and blue
Looks like time’s caught up on you.

How many times did I hear you say
Forget tomorrow -- just live for today
You’ve burned some bridges, yeah -- that much is true
Looks like time’s caught up on you.

You’ve got some demons still driving you on
They wonder where all the good times have gone
Nobody calls you, now nobody dares
Nobody wants to �cos nobody cares.

Another night, another place
Another limbo where you’ve fallen from grace
No, you don’t cut it like you used to do
Looks like time’s caught up on you.

It’s caught up on you
It’s caught up on you
It’s caught up on you
It’s caught up on you

One night -- you’ll stand again in the spotlight
And everything will be all right
And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.

One night -- you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take flight
And everything will be all right
And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.

One night -- you’ll stand again in the spotlight
And everything will be all right
And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.

I See Red (Rafferty, Rafferty) - 4:07

Back in my school days acting the fool boys
One and one and one made three
And the man said come and cut yourself a piece of the big time.

Armour-clad forces riding trojan horses
Never made sense to me
I didn’t wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine.

�Stop, pay the price’, they said to me, �take this advice:
You’re out of your head’
Stop, hold the �phone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red
I see red. I see red.

She slips and stumbles, twists and she tumbles
She always lands on her feet
And she keeps her face turned to the far horizon.

Won’t you come this way -- won’t you go my way
Her rhythm doesn’t miss a beat
She’s just doin’ everything she can to keep surviving.

�Stop, pay the price’, she said to me, �take this advice:
You’re out of your head’
Stop, hold the �phone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red.
I see red. I see red. Yeah.

Now who wants a riot -- people should be quiet
Don’t we give �em good TV
You can learn to love a lifetime of distraction.

You’ve got nothin’ on the inside, nothin’ on the outside
All the way from A to B
I can live without that kind of satisfaction.

�Stop, pay the price’, she said to me, �take this advice:
You’re out of your head’
Stop, hold the �phone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red
I see red. I see red. I see red. Yeah.

(fade and repeat)
I see red
I see red
You make me see red
Yes I see red
I see red
I see red.

It's Easy to Talk (Rafferty) - 4:31

I love you so much, but you’re leaving today
Somehow we’ve lost touch -- I can’t make you stay
You say I’ll get by, but it’s my head on the block
It’s easy to talk -- so easy to talk.

What did I do wrong, tell me what was my crime
I’ve loved you so long, now my neck’s on the line
You pass judgement on me while I stand in the dock
It’s easy to talk -- so easy to talk.

When we were living in the city of a million dreams
You were telling me that love is never what it seems
Yeah, you walked into my life and now I must surrender.

So you go with him and say I’m to blame
I know I can’t win while you feel no shame
For every vow that you break and every word that you mock
It’s easy to talk -- so easy to talk.

When we were living in the city of a million dreams
You were telling me that love is never what it seems
Yeah, you walked into my life and now I must surrender.

God holds out His hand, why suffer the gloom
Of a renegade heart in some lonely room
Our lives slip away with each tick of the clock
It’s easy to talk -- so easy to talk.

I Could Be Wrong (Rafferty) - 4:02

Nothing is touched, I still want you so much
The feeling’s so strong yeah -- but I could be wrong
A love affair ends, and now we’re just friends
The real thing is gone yeah -- but I could be wrong.

In the morning when I wake up and it’s a sunny day
All my troubles seem to fly away
Then I remember, and it’s down and down I go.

I watch the rising of the moon
Darkness always comes too soon
When the night comes falling
It’s down and down I go.

Now I can see you don’t need me
You’ll get along yeah -- but I could be wrong.

Day and night I’ve been soul searchin’ in a stormy sea
All your tears washin’ over me
When the truth comes callin’, it’s down and down I go.

I was dreamin’ of the night we met
So many moments that I can’t forget
When the night comes fallin’, it’s down and down I go.

Now it appears I’ve cried all my tears
The sadness is gone yeah -- but I could be wrong
Nothing is touched, I still want you so much
The feeling’s so strong yeah -- but I could be wrong.

Time goes by and a love affair ends
Hearts run dry and now we’re just friends
The real thing is gone, we’ll sing you a song
But I could be wrong.

Don't Speak of My Heart (Rafferty, Rafferty) - 5:56

Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
I’m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I’ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that we’re apart
So please don’t speak of my heart.

Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile I’m drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet there’s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday I’m gonna love again.

The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please don’t speak of my heart.

Every day’s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying �Goodbye’
And every night I think of you I’m still left wondering why
I can’t believe that we’re saying goodbye.

And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where I’m going to
It all came without a warning
What’s a man supposed to do?

Don’t let your heart break down
Don’t let your heart break down.

Don’t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
I’m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I’ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us,
Sad that we’re apart
Don’t wanna talk about it -- don’t make me think about it
So please don’t speak of my heart.

Get out of My Life Woman (Toussaint) - 4:13

(Introductory music from Gerry Rafferty song "Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway")

Get out of my life woman, you don’t love me no more
Get out of my life woman, you don’t love me no more
Get out of my life woman, you don’t love me no more.

Get out of my eyes teardrops, I gotta see my way around
Get out of my eyes teardrops, I gotta see my way around
Get out of my life heartache, I got heartaches by the pound (these days).

Walk on, walk on
Walk on, walk on yeah walk on

Get off my ladder woman, I gotta climb up to the top
Get off my ladder woman, I gotta climb up to the top
Get off my ladder woman, you know that I can’t stop.

I can’t stop -- I can’t stop
I can’t stop -- I can’t stop.

Get out of my life woman, I gotta be moving on
Get out of my life woman, I gotta be moving on
Get out of my life woman, it’s so long.

Bye bye -- bye bye -- so long
Bye bye -- bye bye -- so long -- little darlin’ goodbye
So long -- so long.

Twenty long years little darlin’ that I spent with you
Twenty long years that we shared a home
Twenty long years little darlin’, now I’m black and blue
Twenty long years now I’m back on my own.

Bye bye -- so long
Bye bye -- so long.

Don't Give up on Me (Rafferty) - 4:59

Ev’ry night’s a lonely night since you went away
But you come back to haunt my memory
I lie awake and think of you and how it used to be
Oh my love don’t give up on me.

The symbol of the moon above and living without you
I can’t stand this cold reality
You alone can make me whole, our love was meant to be
Oh my love don’t give up on me.

In the dying embers of the midnight hour
All these things brought me misery
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
Oh my love don’t give up on me.

When you left I know I lost the better part of me
But I can’t blame my troubled history
You and I were innocent, our love was meant to be
Oh my love don’t give up on me.

In the dying embers of the midnight hour
All these things brought me misery
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
Oh my love don’t give up on me.

Jesus came into this world so all men may be found
In the soul of all humanity
Ev’ry time I stumble on the road to Calvary
Oh my love don’t give up on me.

In the dying embers of the midnight hour
All these things brought me misery
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
Oh my love don’t give up on me
Oh my love don’t give up on me
My sweet Lord don’t give up on me.

(fade)
Oh my love don’t give up on me

Hang on (Rafferty) - 4:01

When life gets tough
When this old road gets rough
What happens to me and you
What do we do -- we hang on.

When you confess
Your life is in a mess
And only you can muddle through
What do you do -- you hang on.

Love is blind, love is kind
What do you do when it leaves you behind
Like yesterday’s papers -- like yesterday’s news.

You don’t wanna be all by yourself
You don’t wanna be left on the shelf
When you’re feeling small and tired of it all.

Those lonely days
Those sad and lonely days
Left sad and blue without a clue
What do you do -- you hang on.

Love is real -- love can heal
What do you do when the love that you feel
Turns out to be one dream that never came true.

You imagined it was so much more
Now you’re stranded on another shore
And you don’t expect to resurrect.

A love gone wrong
A love that was so strong
Left sad and blue without a clue
What do you do -- you hang on.

Love and Affection (Rafferty) - 6:25

So long ago when our love was new
And the dreams that lovers dream still cast a spell
When we made love we were together more than we knew
And we gazed down deep into the wishing well.

Every day was a sunny day
Rain seems constant now
I can remember times when your love and affection
Turned my world around.

We separate like rain in a storm
And the wind blows all our words of love away
When we first met you were so loving, you were so warm
Now we meet like strangers on a lost highway.

Our love story was meant to be
All those days gone down
I can remember times when your love and affection
Turned my world around.

In deep blue, old and new
Distant voices call to you
Alchemy, mercury
Now you’re free, and you can be who you want to be
I know that you will grow now we’re apart
Talk to me when you’re all at sea
I will keep songs for you here in my heart.

So long ago when our love was new
And the dreams that lovers dream still cast a spell
When we made love we were together more than we knew
And we gazed down deep into the wishing well.

Every day was a sunny day
Rain seems constant now
I can remember times when your love and affection
Turned my world around.

Does He Know What He's Taken on (Rafferty) - 4:56

On the day you left I didn’t know
Which way to turn -- which way to go
I felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.

And even now I just can’t stand
To think of you with another man
But does he know, does he really know
What he’s taken on?

I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
At times I thought I’d go insane
And every night I lay awake until the dawn.

Yes I was lost, I was confused
But he’s the one who’s being used
Yeah does he know, does he really know
What he’s taken on?

Now he might think he’s got your love
And that it came from God above
Threw you a line -- he sowed the seeds
He sees your beauty but I know your needs.

He believes that you’re sincere
When you say love ain’t living here
Yeah does he know -- does he really know
What he’s taken on?

Now he might think he’s got your love
And that it came from God above
Is he so blind that he can’t see
You’ll leave him like you left me.

You sailed away all by yourself
And I was left here on the shelf
I never thought I’d say these words
But I’m glad you’re gone.

Yeah he’s found truth -- certainty
Resolution, veracity
But does he know -- does he really know
What he’s taken on?

Well does he know? Well does he know?
Well does he know? Well does he know?
No no no no no!

The Light of Love (Rafferty, Rafferty) - 4:56

Love comes with a new expression
And the sentimental moon shines in our eyes
Love grows with each new impression
Like an elemental tune that never dies.

But all too soon arrives the dawning
And I awaken to the light of love
The kind of love I want to share with you everyday
We make a promise on this night of love
Let’s say a prayer that it might all come true.

Love comes like a revelation
And it changes everything that we can see
Love comes with new inspiration
And it show us everything that we can be.

But all too soon arrives the dawning
And I awaken to the light of love
The kind of love I want to share with you everyday
We make a promise on this night of love
Let’s say a prayer that it might all come true.

How many times have you been lost
And even now you count the cost
Of saying all those last goodbyes
Something’s come alive on this new morning
You’re looking at one more day.

Love comes with a new expression
And the sentimental moon shines in our eyes
Love grows with each new impression
Like an elemental tune that never dies.

But all too soon arrives the dawning
And I awaken to the light of love
The kind of love I want to share with you everyday
We’ll make a promise on this night of love
Let’s say a prayer that it might all come true ... everyday.

Life Goes on (Rafferty) - 5:24

You get a thunderbolt from out of the blue
And it changes everything about the life you knew
Yes the storm breaks and your heart aches
And then life goes on.

When a long time love just disappears
You need someone new to help you through those impatient years
And those sad days, all those mad days
While your life goes on.

You know it’s over but you can’t let go
It’s not easy when it comes to saying all those last goodbyes
In that moment when your dreams lie scattered in the dust
You find something you can trust
Love comes to meet you like a brand new day
Love comes to you all along the way.

You’re walking down the street but you’re lost in space
And the future comes to meet you and you like its face
From a blue note comes a new note
And your life goes on.

You don’t need miracles to point the way
When you know that love is still the reason to believe
In that moment when you know you might have given up
Someone fills your lovin’ cup
And lies beside you �til the break of day
Love comes to you all along the way.

A million stars shine in the darkest night
From across the universe there comes eternal light
From this blue world to a new world
Somewhere life goes on.

Life goes on...
Life goes on...
