Duran Duran

(taylor, taylor, taylor, rhodes, le bon)

Standing on the edge of the quay
No light flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently screaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat

Shadows all through me shudder away
Echo me, echo me
Am i alone or is the river alive
'cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me

I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
Waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting
I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
I'm waiting for the nightboat

I made a run, i run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no go

I know you're watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and pictures
That give your game away, yeah

There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And i cut so far before i had to say

Please, please tell me now
Is there something i should know?
Is there something i should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war

Please, please tell me now
Is there something i should know?
Is there something i should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

Please, please tell me now
Is there something i should know?
Is there something i should say?
That would make you come my way

Please, please tell me now
Is there something i should know?
Is there something i should say?
That would make you come my way

Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much i die?
Every time it passes by

Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make you show
Is there something i should know?
Is there something i should say?

(words and music: duran duran)

So soon just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes so damn long
Before i feel how much my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs in a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory

On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within
It's not as though you really mattered to me
But being close, how could i let you go
Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs in a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory

I walk out into the sun, try to find a new day
But the whole place just screams in my eyes
Where are you now 'cause i don't want to meet you
I think i'd die, i think i'd laugh at you
I know i'd cry, what am i supposed to do follow you

Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now
I just try to forget you

So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
With a careless memory, look out
Look out
Look out
Look out

(words and music duran duran)

I never found out what made you leave
And now the day is over, just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night but you didn't answer
Just left me ringing on the line

Outside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outside

My face in the mirror shows the break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align
I tried to sleep last night but i've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outside

Look out of the window maybe you can call by my name
Another night over babe another light comes on in vain

I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air (outside)

Is there anyone out there
(anyone out there)

Been in this grass here for the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen, does it fly through the air
Oh, i gave up asking days away

And now i'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder

Here i am, i'm the dotted line
Cut the corners stick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
And i just lie here
It's what i was made for

And now my eyes are closing but i still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand

The world spins so fast
That i might fly off
The world spins so fast
That i might fly off
The world spins so fast
That i might fly off

I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
