In Grand Central Station
I thought I heard your voice
Jumped on the wrong train
But it was only, it was only
In the canyons of Times Square
I thought I heard your voice
Got lost in the crowd
But it was only, it was only
Where West 10th Street meets West Fourth
I thought I heard your voice
Checked my G.P.S.
But it was only, it was only
Afterhours, the Bowery
I thought I heard your voice
Made me lose my poise
But it was only, it was only noise
It was only noise
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late, too late, too late
Sun goes down on Central Park
I thought I heard your voice
Can't tell west from east
But it was only, it was only
In a cab, sped down 5th Ave.
I thought I heard your voice
Overpaid my fare
But it was only, it was only
Breezy air in Union Square
I thought I heard your voice
Couldn't find my friend
Midnight, World Trade Center site
I hope I hear your voice
Make me lose my poise
But is it only, is it only noise?
Is it only noise?
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late, too late, too late

Kiss on the Cheek
03:19

What a difference makes one week
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek
Oh, this distance makes me weak
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek
Wouldn't call it unexpected, but
To the last one to detect it
It's a surprise
It's a surprise
Wouldn't claim I'm so affected, but
Every time I feel rejected
It's a surprise
It stings like dry ice
What a difference makes one week
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek
Climbing up this reverse peak
For a kiss on the lips, let's go back to last week
Wouldn't call it unexpected, but
Every time I feel connected
It's a surprise
It's a surprise
Yeah, I know I can't direct, but I
Resist urges to dissect it
It's a surprise
It feels very nice
"Close your eyes," I said "Don't speak"
A kiss on your lips is all that I seek
"Close your eyes," you said "Don't speak"
A kiss on my lips is what you bequeath, but
What a difference makes one week
A kiss on the lips turns to words of critique
Oh, this distance makes me weak
Your kiss on my lips was so bittersweet
What a difference makes one week
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek
Oh, this distance makes me weak
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek
Wouldn't call it unexpected, but
To the last one to detect it
It's a surprise
It's a surprise
Wouldn't claim I'm so affected, but
Every time I feel rejected
It's a surprise
It stings like dry ice
What a difference makes one week (Close your eyes...)
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek
Oh this distance makes me weak (Close your eyes...)
A kiss on the lips turns to a kiss on the cheek

Waiting for an Angel
04:19

We don’t know where we’re going to
And I don’t know what I’m going to do
About you; without you, it all goes wrong
I thought you said you knew!
Oh, no! It’s happened again
Turn off! It’s a dreadful dead end
It’s time to make my amends
I’ve never prayed before
I don’t deserve to ask for more
Open up my heart, hope words will pour
I don't want to waste another year
I just want to dry up all these tears
Waiting for an angel to appear
Every night I lie awake in fear
Crying out to Gd “Why am I here?”
Waiting for an angel to appear
I don’t know what I’m going through
And you don’t know how I tried to be true
About you; I doubt you would last so long – you’re more than overdue!
Oh, no! It’s happened again
Turn off! It’s a dreadful dead end
It’s time to make my amends
I’ve never prayed before
I don’t deserve to ask for more
Open up my heart, hope words will pour
I don't want to waste another year
I just want to dry up all these tears
Waiting for an angel to appear
Out into this hopeless sky, I peer
Render me the vision of a seer
Waiting for an angel to appear
Waiting for an angel to appear
I don't want to waste another year
I just want to dry up all these tears
Waiting for an angel to appear
Waiting for an angel to appear
Waiting for an angel to appear

What Do I Know?
03:58

What do I know?
What do I know?
If these were the last words I could speak to you
I’d give up on the games of hide and seek I always use
Imagined I that wit is what from me wants you
Or do I come off far less clever than obtuse? (What thinks you?)
When all this passes through my mind
Why do I toss it out like peeled-off orange rind?
Did I mistake the fruit for which I’ve always truly pined?
What do I know?
Here I stand, nowhere to go
What do I know?
All grown up and nothing to show
So I hold back things that I should say to you
Forgo sharing what should bear the weight of two
If I wait too long to show you how I feel for you
I run the risk of losing time; lo, it steals away on cue
Yes all this passes through my mind
Lest I betray myself I cast it all behind
To focus on those fears that I’ve come to expect to find
What do I know?
Here I stand, nowhere to go
What do I know?
All grown up, and nothing to show
What do I know?
What do I know?
If these were the last words I could speak...

Want

I never had the will to live
Now I want to
I never had the strength to give
Now I want to
I want to – I want you
I want to – well, I want you
I never got to say goodbye
Now I want to
I never knew the reasons why
Now I want to
I want to – I want you
I want to – well, I want you
I wanted to know
If you haven’t lost your mind
I wanted to know that you’re
Completely overcome in kind
I want you to own up
To whatever’s become yours and mine
I want all the plans we’ve made
To take their places in our time
I never said the words I meant
Now I want to
I never won the argument
Now I want to
I want to – I want you
I want to – well, I want you
Never got to see you cry
Now I want to
Never had the heart to lie
I don’t want to!
Do I want to? Do I want you?
Do I want to? Well, I want you!
I want to! I want you!
I want to!
I wanted to know
If I haven’t lost your mind
I wanted to know that you’re
Completely over, come in kind
I want you to own up
To whatever’s become yours and mine
I want all the plans we've made
What of all the plans we’ve made?
Forget all the plans we made
We’ll take our places in our time

Darling, I’m half asleep
Cried all night
Tears you’ll never weep
For our demise
It’s no surprise
About the way you make me feel
Like heaving up my latest meal
Do you ever wonder why you act so puerile?!
Darling, you’re fast asleep
Eyes closed tight
Tears you’ll never see
Have almost dried
You know I tried
To turn down your plea bargain deal
I retract my approval seal
Do you ever wonder how you lost your appeal?!
All out of time (keep, keep on loving)
I’ve finished all my crying (keep, keep on loving)
So intertwined (keep, keep on loving)
You keep on loving (keep, keep on loving)
But I keep on dying
Yeah I keep on dying
Darling, your words are cheap
If you’re contrite
Remorse is all that keeps
You warm tonight
Your foolish pride
Is spinning like a Catherine Wheel
Emotions linger and reveal
How you always squander love that’s beau ideal
All out of time (keep, keep on loving)
I’ve finished all my crying (keep, keep on loving)
So intertwined (keep, keep on loving)
You keep on loving (keep, keep on loving)
You keep on loving me (keep, keep on loving)
You keep on loving (keep, keep on loving)
You keep on loving…
But I keep on dying
Yeah I keep on dying
And it keeps me crying!
Gonna keep on trying!

This Time Around
05:59

The end is almost here
Problems that you hoped would disappear
They’ve been going on for years
The only words to say will come out wrapped in tears
Oh, how you called it love
Blessed by the One above
Where’s the guiding hand?
Were your lives so well planned?
Now all that’s passed is time
Your unwanted world unwinds
Of love that seemed so strong
To whom does the past belong?
Or did it ever exist?
I now believe we know not what we missed
(This)
I thought when you grow older (Time)
You learn to settle down (Around)
You live life to the letter (Goodbye)
You find your solid ground (This)
But you roll like a boulder (Time)
Without making a sound (Around)
You said it would get better (Goodbye)
But I’m not sure; no I’m not sure this time around
This time Around
Now that you’ve made it clear
I’m not the one you want calling you "dear"
Why don’t you disappear?
‘Cos every brand new day just peels off more veneer
Oh, how you called it love
Blessed by the one above
Where’s the guiding hand?
Were your lives so well planned?
Now all that’s passed is time
Your unwanted world unwinds
Of love that seemed so strong
To whom does the past belong?
Or did it ever exist?
I now believe we know not what we missed
(This)
I thought that you grew older (Time)
I thought you had it down (Around)
The thought that you’d forget her (Goodbye)
Should cause your heart to pound (This)
But it grows only colder (Time)
You keep it gagged and bound (Around)
This time it won’t get better (Goodbye)
That much I’m sure; yes I’m sure this time around
This time around
(This)
(Time)
(Around)
(Goodbye)
(This)
(Time)
(Around)
(Goodbye)

In Grand Central Station
I thought I heard your voice
Jumped on the wrong train
But it was only, it was only
In the canyons of Times Square
I thought I heard your voice
Got lost in the crowd
But it was only, it was only
Where West 10th Street meets West Fourth
I thought I heard your voice
Checked my G.P.S.
But it was only, it was only
Afterhours, the Bowery
I thought I heard your voice
Made me lose my poise
But it was only, it was only noise
It was only noise
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late, too late, too late
Sun goes down on Central Park
I thought I heard your voice
Can’t tell west from east
But it was only, it was only
In a cab, sped down 5th Ave.
I thought I heard your voice
Overpaid my fare
But it was only, it was only
Breezy air in Union Square
I thought I heard your voice
Couldn’t find my friend
But it was only, it was only
Midnight, World Trade Center site
I hope I hear your voice
Make me lose my poise
But is it only, is it only noise?
Is it only noise?
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I know it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late
Now's the time
Here's the place
I hope it's not too late, too late, too late
