Escape Is So Simple
-----------------------

The way you kissed me this morning
it told me that you soon would be going
You didn't even look in my eyes
when you said goodbye

And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises
that I knew you would never keep
Now I'm reading the letter which you placed on the dresser
and you're five hundred miles down the road

Escape is so simple
in a world where sunsets can be raced
But distance only looses the knife
the pattern of its scar
can always be traced

Yeah, I remember when we said 'forever'
was the craziest word that we knew
but I think that I like it much better than I do 'goodbye'

And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons
why you are not by my side
Instead I'll go to the kitchen, find a strong chair to sit in
and drink myself far, far away

Escape is so simple
in a world where sunsets can be raced
But distance only looses the knife
the pattern of its scar
can always be traced

Crocodile Shoes
-----------------------

wine, beer and spirits all the time
though I have you still she's always on my mind
the rain falls down I'm soaking through
I'm an old man inside a young man's suit
my crocodile shoes are crying too
for they know how much love I have for you

crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes

wine, beer and spirits take me down
the lights are low and there's no one else around
the waitress sure looks pretty and that's a bad sign
I smile at her still yo're always on my mind

with your crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes

I've lost so much in a short time
don't see my kids how I miss my wife
I let the world slip through my hands
and now I'm talking to the only friends I have

crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes, crocodile shoes
they're crying too
they're crying too
crocodile shoes
crocodile shoes

song "Crocodile Shoes" - by Jimmy Nail

You Still Move Me
-----------------------

I've often wondered what would I do
If I found you alone like this
Would I remember
What I've got at home
Or forget it all with your kiss

'Cause when you left me
I was hurtin' so
She picked me up off the ground
And I do love her, I want you to know
That I never want to let her down

But you still move me
Though I'd never let her know
There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go
And every time I hold her in my arms
Or look into her eyes
I wonder this time, does it show
'Cause you still move me

I guess I'd better leave now
Before it's too late
Before these feelings go too far
But I had to see you
Just one more time
It's been tearing me apart
"Cause you still move me

And I wonder how much longer can this go on
The feelin's wrong, I know it's wrong
And I don't know, ohh, which way to turn
Here with you, or home with her
But you still move me

Though I'd never let her know
There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go
And every time I hold her in my arms
Or look into her eyes
I wonder this time, does it show
But you still move me
You still move me, God you move me

song "You Still Move Me" by Dan Seals

Maybe Not Tonight
-----------------------

You don't touch me anymore
You never say the words I love you
You just sit behind your paper
The silence cuts me like a razor
I'm gonna leave you
Maybe someday soon
When I can give up this fight
But maybe not tonight

We don't talk much anymore
Not the same way we used to
Whenever I reach out to hold you
You turn away
What am I supposed to do
I'm gonna say goodbye
When the moment's right
Like an eagle I will fly
But maybe not tonight

Can you just hold me
In your arms so deep
Wanna feel you breathin' on my skin
We fell out of love
We can fall back in

You never look at me that way
So many times I've longed to say
You used to brush the hair back from my face
Oh God, how I miss those days
You used to make me feel like someone
Tell me where did we go wrong
You were my best friend, my one and only love
You're still the only one
Just as I'm leaving you
You walk in the room
I see the flicker in your eyes
We say maybe not tonight

Can you just hold me
In your arms so deep
Wanna feel you breathin' on my skin
We fell out of love (How did we fall out of love)
Maybe we can fall back in

You don't touch me anymore
You never say the words I love you
I love you

song "Maybe Not Tonight" by Sammy Kershaw & Lorrie Morgan

Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning
-----------------------

sun comes up, it's Tuesday morning
hits me straight in the eye, guess you forgot to close the blind last night
oh, that's right. I forgot. It was me.
i sure do miss the smell of black coffee in the morning
the sound of water splashing all over the bathroom
the kiss that you would give me even though I was sleeping
but I kind of like the feel of this extra few feet in my bed

telephone's ringing, but I don't answer it
'cause everybody knows, good news always sleeps till noon
guess it's tea and toast for breakfast again
maybe I'll add a little TV too
no milk! Oh God how I hate that
guess I'll go to the corner, get breakfast from Jenny
she's got a black eye this morning, Jenny how'd ya get it
she says, Last night, Bobby got a little bit out of hand

lunchtime, I start to dial your number
then I remember so I reach for something to smoke
anyways I'd rather listen to Coltrane
than go through all that shit again
there's something about an afternoon spent doing nothing
just listening to records and watching the sun falling
thinking of things that don't have to add up to something
and the spell won't be broken by the sound of keys scraping in the lock

maybe tonight it's a movie
plenty of room for elbows and knees
a bag of popcorn all to myself
black and white with a strong female lead
and if I don't like it, no debate, I'll leave
here comes that feeling that I'd forgotten
how strange these streets feel when you're alone on them
each pair of eyes just filled with suggestion
so I lower my head, make a beeline for home
seething inside

funny, I've never noticed
the sound the streetcars make as they pass my window
which reminds me, I forgot to close the blind again
yeah sure I'll admit there are times that I miss you
'specially like now when I need someone to hold me
but there are some things that can never be forgiven
and I kind of like this extra few feet in my bed

The Least You Can Do
-----------------------

I was lying awake last night, waiting for your call
But if the rumours are true, that won?t bother you at all
I?m trying hard to understand
What it takes to be your man
Now I don?t have to wonder anymore

Least you can do is say you?re sorry
Least you can do is give me back my heart
Just give me back my heart

Seems living in hope was wrong those years I was away
Thinking your letters, I never received, had gone astray
You said you?d always be there for me
Like a fool I thought you?d be
Now I don?t know what I was thinking at all

But the least you can do is say you?re sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I won?t come around no more
You won?t find me standing outside your door
Least you can do is tell me why, tell me why

The least you can do is say you?re sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I won?t come around no more
You won?t find me standing outside your door
But the least you can do is tell me why
I won?t be your fool anymore
There?s no need to be cruel anymore ?no, no
Least you can do is say you?re sorry girl
The least you can do is give me back my heart ?.just give me back my heart

song "The Least You Can Do" by Phil Collins
