Author: Steve Winwood Album title: Talking Back to the Night Valerie So wild, standing there, with her hands in her hair I can't help remember just where she touched me There's still no face here in her place So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away Now she can't be that warm with the wind in her arms Valerie, call on me-call on me, Valerie Come and see me-I'm the same boy I used to be Love songs fill the night, but they don't tell it all Not how lovers cry out just like they're dying Her cries hang there in time somewhere Someday, some good wind may blow her back to me Some night I may here her like she used to be No it can't be that warm with the wind in her arms So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away Don't tell me you're warm with the wind in your arms Big Girls Walk Away You hold your broken heart out And you say it just won't stop hurting Like there's something I can do The rule is so plain Party girl play like it's laying Pack it up-hear what I'm saying The party's over-better walk away Turn the page-look, and listen Somewhere music plays Planes leave every day Big girls walk away You want to play with princes On a million dollar holiday Butt you never met their mothers You just go so high Party girl just keep the earrings Nothing else is worth a damned thing Just save the party for another day You know this old world is wide And you're to catch another ride You just go till you come out the other side And I Go My girl white in a yellow light Looks so good And it takes me Love so bright she can love all night Shows me all she knows Painter paint the scene Hold us in a dream Feel what it means When she takes me Oh, she plays her part Holds me in her heart Knows from the start She can take me And she takes me And I go When I'm bound in the London ground Play this song It'll take you Say her love was a velvet glove Held my life through See us in the morning sun How the colors run While There's a Candle Burning You used to come and see me all the time I gave you everything I had I brought you up And I never left you one time feeling bad They say it's a new age And I wonder where you've been You can help me turn a new page The same door is open-come on in While there's a candle burning I'll be reaching for your heart While there's a wheel still turning I know how to play my part So I keep the wheels all turning And I keep the candles burning All day through here for you The world is full of players in the night They say the words they have to say They're all so hot And they never give a damn for yesterday Don't care if they touch you Everywhere you saved for me 'Cause I still know how to move you I still know how to rock you-come and see Still in the Game Here's to gamblers Who hold to the game Through the hard times They don't lose their aim And they hope for time on their side And they keep a ticket to ride They keep watching for signs in the land They keep watching for signs in the land And they stand there watching the sky And they stand there ready to fly Here's to never letting go Though sometimes it does get lonely I still walk out in the morning light Just to see what is there I hear music in silent nights Searching I find a reason to care One heart moving still the same Still in the game Here's to lovers who reach for it all Never matching the rise with the fall And they just can't leave it alone And they want it all till it's gone Here's to players who can't leave their song And it haunts them Their night is so long 'Cause there's music there in their mind >From a world they're trying to find Here's to never letting go Though sometimes it does get lonely It Was Happiness We had the stars-they kept shining Where they led us we followed Two for love-wandering I look back-here's what I see We were outside-there was Paris-it was raining And we felt everything In a crowded street in london-happiness And we were so alive And your soul was a wide and deep blue sea I would drown, and you'd rescue me And we lived our life like a story Clear to the ending It was happiness-so clear-happiness Happiness-no tears-happiness Can't keep time from its running Soon the best times are over Photographs-hold me And I see how good we were There was that day out in Carmel, California With no clothes in the sun In a crowded street in London-happiness And then it all goes by So I drink to the past and what still will be One day I'll be a memory But I lived my life like a story Too bad there's an ending Help Me Angel Help me angel Plant my feet a little higher Help me angel I've been too close to the fire Help me angel Make my dream a little brighter Help me angel Help me turn on all the lights You've seen all the sights You've lived through all the nights You've got something I have to know 'Cause I've still got far to go Help me angel 'Cause it's so dark everywhere Help me angel Find the magic in the air When sun's going down And light leaving town Something's shining deep in your eyes Sunday morning, endless sunrise You've got what I have to find In the sunshine in your mind Talking Back to the Night High above the heat of a summer New York street An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone He's a preacher and a teacher And he stands up all alone Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park A poet in his madness tries to find another line And he's losing and he's using And he says he's doing fine And they look from such a height That somehow it's all right They're talking back to the night It's all that they can do Talking back to the night It's how they make it through If you listen you can hear them Their voices draw you near them They're talking back to the night for you Something seems to take every dime the man can make His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn And he's trying hard to make it And he's trying not to burn Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed She gives him all she has to And it's no more than he needs There's a River There's a river pouring >From a pure and a crystal stream And it carries my heart along Carries me all my life And I know it will bring me home There's a choir singing With a force that can light the sky I will join with a voice deep inside Anthems for joys gone by And for joys I am sure will come Golden treasure in the evening sky It's good to be alive Golden measure, hear the music cry When my heart sings Of golden things There's a dove ascending Like my thoughts in the summer sky And she carries my soul along Clear to eternity And I know I am not alone Your request matches 2 albums and 17
