Little Of The Past Lyrics |

|
Too much too young
Breaking out of school and we were kicking hard.
A lot of good dreams and a lot of false starts.
Swore we wouldn't get old before our time.
So that's what's the matter boy are you wondering where it went.
The memory's better than it was back then,
you could not wait to leave it all behind
But there is one thing I know
I ain't quite ready to go away
Too much, too young.
I won't do time when I've just begun.
Too much, too young.
What about love, what of songs unsung?
Too much, too young.
I'll never go backward, I'll always go on...
I want more, give me, oh just a little bit more!
I don't want a house or a three piece suite -
those things don't matter to me,
I'm happy sleeping on your kitchen floor.
So if you ain't happy following my star,
lend me some money, give me your old car,
'cause you don't really need it anymore.
I've got some living to do,
and I ain't waiting for you.
Too much, too young.
I won't do time when I've just begun.
Too much, too young.
What about love, what of songs unsung?
Too much, too young.
I'll never go backward, I'll always go on...
I want more, give me, oh just a little bit more!
Sometimes I wonder
if I'll ever live again
well I can tell you,
if I do, I'd make that change
I've got my share of regret
but I ain't afraid to say
I've paid the price I've had to pay.
Well once upon a time
"when we were so young"
well what we were then
lies tattered and torn
well I guess that's just the way it goes
I've got to move on to-the other side.
I can see this thing is a-hurting your pride
maybe I'll be back to say goodbye - who knows.
Nobody stand in my way
I'll take tomorrow today!
Too much, too young.
I won't do time when I've just begun.
Too much, too young.
What about love, what of songs unsung?
Too much, too young.
I'll never go backward, I'll always go on...
Womankind
I recall I call you up to ask you all my questions
And you replied you don't know why, and I can't take rejection
When I'm alone in company, and you're there in my sights
You smother me in mystery one more time.
Woman, woman, woman, womankind
Everyday you seem to blow my mind
Take a look at me and you will find
Everyday I love you more
Everyday I want you more.
So sweetly you persist in kind, so darkly and mysterious
Can't you see you must be blind, to not see I'm delirious
Fortunately you are not, a desperate proclaimer
That would be the worst thing on my mind.
Woman, woman, woman, womankind
Everyday you seem to blow my mind
Take a look at me and you will find
Everyday I love you more
Everyday I want you more.
It's not the same without you,
It's essential what you bring
You are deep within all time and space above.
I just can't live without you, you're my oxygen supply
I'd drift deadly through my life without your love.
Woman, woman, woman, womankind
Everyday you seem to blow my mind
Take a look at me and you will find
Everyday I love you more
Everyday I want you more.
Woman, woman, woman, womankind
Everyday you seem to blow my mind
Take a look at me and you will find
Everyday I love you more
Everyday I want you more.
Sail away
December morning when the ship came sailing in,
The sailor boys with all their noise had come around again,
She stood on the quayside, she was looking for a friend
He had caught her eye and now she'll try
to make him come her way (come her way),
So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly,
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail away,
Had one just like her on a far off Eastern shore,
and every town, that he'd sailed round was like the one before
and thought he said he loved her, his words were like his heart,
they were empty as a summer stream that dries up oh so hard
(oh so hard)
So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly,
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail away,
Sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away
Oh sail away again, away again
Every day somebody sails away,
Cried when he left her, but she never knew his name,
Just a night of love to pass like ships and never meet again
She can't hold the tears, but she knows that one day
He will come around (come around again)
So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly,
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail away,
she watched her dreams sail away,
Soapbox
She's got many more years, ahead of it all,
but there's a fire in her heart tells her so
So she's walking pretty tall into those old mansion halls,
Just to let them all know,
Come down from your soapbox,
Come down on your own
Come down from your soapbox
even though you wanna chase it,
you know you just might break through,
you'll never have to face it alone
She tells them that she's right
Stands there ready for the fight
She is stubborn, she is listening no more,
There's any empty ring of boubt
and her mind carn't put it out
The truth's not easy to ignore
(and so I say)
Come down from your soapbox,
Come down on your own
Come down from your soapbox
even though you wanna chase it,
you know you just might break through,
you'll never have to face it alone
You could be wrong
(You know that don't you)
you could be totally wrong
(it can happen you know)
You can see it in the others
but you just can't see it
When it's under you nose
no, when it's under your nose
(all the people say)
Come down from your soapbox,
Come down on your own
Come down from your soapbox
even though you wanna chase it,
you know you just might break through,
you'll never have to face it alone
Get from out of the light
Get right into the shade,
You gotta open your mind
And let your heart behave
No, never have to face it alone
Face it alone
Face it alone
