Found what I was looking for

Hanging there from the 13th floor

She looked at me with those deadly eyes

I was gone before I realised

She was crazy and out of her mind

I couldn't help myself I had to find

Someone to help me, somebody please

Am I the only one, down on my knees

Frustration had me there, looking at the stair

Waiting for a sign, too many stairs to climb

She came to me, from out of the blue

Too many thing to say, what could I do

Don't worry baby, she said with a smile

We'll be outa here in just a while

Frustration had me there, looking at the stair

Waiting for a sign, too many stairs to climb

I've been playing and singing and scratching a living since 71

For 50 odd years of my career, everything's been lost and won

I'm gonna get it back, before I have a heart attack

If there's some money to be made

Been sitting round too long

If I hang around I'll be gone

If there's some money to be made, I'll make the grade

I've been drifting and time is shifting the wheels are going round and round

Hours are minutes and minutes are seconds and seconds mean nothing at all

I'm gonna get it back, before I have a heart attack

If there's some money to be made

Been sitting round too long

If I hang around I'll be gone

If there's some money to be made, I’ll make the grade

I still hear my body

Telling me not to worry

There's a much bigger story with lots more fame

My mind is walking

My brain is talking

Maybe I'm being crazy

5 more days until the race is run

5 more ways until I see the sun

Been along time away, what will I find to say

Been a while since l've touched you

With all my dreams and thoughts taboo

Do the children still remember

All the things we used to do

Oh my darling please forgive me

Is there still another chance

Lying here in my cell, in my own piece of hell

I awake here to find, that I'm loosing my mind

5 more years until the race is run

5 more years until I see the sun

Estar vivo, estar vivo, I like it

Estar vivo, estar vivo, I love it

Por ti seré, estar vivo, por ti sólo

Being alive, being alive, never lonely

Being alive, staying alive, for you only

Por ti seré, estar vivo, por ti sólo

Can it be true, really you can shake me

Is it a dream, a fantasy, awake me

Por ti seré, estar vivo, por ti sólo

Para todas las demás

A future all depending in me

Siempre estás a ti para amar, amare

Finally, found the need, solace

Peacefully, consciously, aware

Por ti seré, estar vivo, por ti sólo

Being alive, being alive, never lonely

Being alive, staying alive, for you only

Por ti seré, estar vivo, por ti sólo

Living my life on a shoestring, keeping the wolf from the door

Working to bring new songs to life, what do we do it for

Me and my family we get on well, makin what we can on the way

Playing around for a better sound, who knows if tomorrow’s the day

Waitin for a letter to come through the door, waitin for something, maybe more

If I've got the wrong line and I've got the time, I’ll start all over again

Living my life, seen a lot of changes

Moving round and round, to different places

I can never settle down again

Not with this life that never ends

Putting together for another chore, waiting to get back on the road

Simple things that come to pass are certainly worth waiting for

Waiting for a letter to come through the door

Waiting for something, maybe more

If I’ve got the wrong line and I’ve got the time, I’ll start all over again

Living my life on a shoestring, keeping the wolf from the door

Working to bring new songs to life, what do we do it for

Why don’t you understand, I don't want it that way, why can't you understand the way I feel

You turned away from me at the worst of times, and now I see that life can be so real

What would you think if I could tell you, that I’m just better off alone

Know how much l'd love to see you now, but I sure as hell don't miss that awful row

Way too late, there’s no turning back that clock, it's fine

Way too late I'm showing the world how much, I really shine

What would you think if I could tell you, that I’m just better off alone

What would you do if you only knew, that I’m a better man without you

Tell me why couldn't you just wait, why did you have to only hate

But now I bet you realise that it's just, way too late

Way too late, no turning back that clock, it's fine

Way too late, I'm showing the world how much, I really shine

I really shine, I really shine, I really shine

Instrumental

Let's get back into that car I'm going home today

It's been far too long a time I'm going home to stay

I'm going, to my home in Montserrat

Ah ah Montserrat, ah ah Montserrat

Politics and ticking boxes killed it there for me

Why were we so blinkered, why were we so blind to see

I'm going, to my home in Montserrat

Ah ah Montserrat, oh oh

As I'm driving down that highway

All my cares just drift away

So much space there all around me, today

Dreams are only what you make them

And this one is up to you

Hope I’ll be around to see it

Time goes really slowly when you’re wishing it away

Why should we be wishing when there is a batter way

I'm going, to my home in Montserrat

Ah ah Montserrat, ah ah Montserrat

Jackman and Marie were running away from the place they'd known for years

Hiding away from the one's they loved never knowing, if they'd return

They'd been on the run, for 24 hours, and the time was dragging on

Fear and the pain were in their eyes but the deed, was done

Jackman told Marie let's stay here tonight for I feel, that I am done

I've got you into this and it's over now and I have to let you go

I've loved you for a thousand years but now you have to go

Don't make this anymore harder for me my life, has gone

Guilty thoughts went through their minds as they struggled to hide away

Why did they go together that day, that day, that day

Jackman and Marie were barely alive when the law began to show

Bodies and blood and signs of life were hopeless beyond repair

The two of them were holding hands like they did when they were kids

Two lost souls together at last but where, will they go, will they go

Arlington is where she came from, Michigan is in her heart

You can drive the girl out of Texas, but Detroit is her home

She's a very special lady, takes no passengers

Born in 55 she still survives now

With dynaflow just watch her go

Buick 55, Buick 55, you're special to me

Buick 55, Buick 55, come on let's see you drive

Born with 264 fireball, automatically took the road

She wants to drive and tramp along now, for miles and miles and never slows

Now nearly seven decades later, she's crossed the ocean to be with me

Flint River is like a dream now, and Vehicle City can never be

Buick 55, Buick 55, you're special to me

Buick 55, Buick 55, come on let's see you drive

Buick 55, Buick 55, you're special to me

Buick 55, Buick 55, come on let's see you drive

Wake up its morning, time for no more yawning

Things to do, places to go, time for us to get up and go

Wake up its morning, time for no more yawning

I know you will lay there all day, have you got nothing to say

Fish to fry, bills to pay, wish there was, a better way

Just you wait, another year, you will not find me here

A bright new day, what's there to say, the first break of dawn

The time is here, it fills my heart, let's make it clear

Another day to go, a brand new start

No time to say hello, or for us to be apart

You are forever in my dreams, nothing is ever what it seems

Wake up its morning, time for no more yawning

Things to do, places to go, time for us to get up and go

Too many times I've been dying to touch you, too many words l've been trying to say

Too many ways I've been longing to hold you, too many dreams l've been having, these days

When you're not here, seems like a lifetime, when you are gone, you're so far away

When will we be, alone and together, when will my heart stop feeling, so bad

Can't you see that I'm lonely, want you here, never been so low, got to hold you near

Can't you see that I'm hungry, deep inside, I can't sleep, I'll never sleep, my mind is never clear

Taking the time, to do something, taking my mind to another place

Taking all my crazy emotions, taking no notice, of anyone

Wasting my life is something l've thought of, wasting the space between you and me

Wasting the lonely time l've been given, wasting, wasting, wasting, away

Can't you see that I'm lonely want you here

Never been so low, got to hold you near

Can't you see that I'm hungry, deep inside

I can't sleep, I'll never sleep, my mind is never clear

Thoughts are dropping through the memories of my mind

Trickling down and down into my soul

Where they go from there, no one even knows

Perhaps they just disintegrate into nothing

Is it in our mind, is it really true, can you turn a tide, from coming into view

I thought of you the other day, you came along, remained

Hanging around on your way to somewhere

Where before you came, where you going to

Maybe you'll stay and linger a little longer

View from my window could be better I suppose

There's a greener path on another road

Perhaps these thoughts are better off alone

Time and time again, feel something going round

Something unexplained and unfulfilled

Am I outta my depth, am I outta my mind

Why can't they send a message to, say they're really real

Why do we have to guess and play the part

Something deep inside is playing with my mind

Messing up my life and won't let go

Is it in our mind, is it really true, can you turn a tide, from coming into view

Without a doubt I'm playing it cool, the things I'm trying to do to you

It's all a mask I've been hiding behind, without a doubt you've been really blind

Don't wanna stay around here no more, shadow of someone that used to be

That silhouette is still haunting something, absent responses, no answer to see

Can't you see beyond your nose, It's little me in brand new clothes

I'm just a fake that you see now, a fallen man someway, somehow

What a person l used to be, so full of life, of love, and lust

Been round and round the block and back, so many years, so many fears

Look in the mirror what do I see, a withered face that's turning to dust

Time is shifting and spinning away, It's in my hands, my will, my evil soul

Can't you see beyond your nose, It's little me in brand new clothes

I'm just a fake that you see now, a fallen man someway, somehow
